"Ah!!!"
A series of shrill screams echoed across the island as lifeless bodies plummeted uncontrollably from mid-air. After a long while, nearly half of the so-called High-Level Dou Di on the field had been killed by Xiao Yan. Only then did he stop, panting, and turn to look at the white-clad woman lying on the boulder—it was Xiao Yi Xian.
"Oh..."
Despite being exhausted, Xiao Yan still grinned and moved, preparing to fly towards Xiao Yi Xian below.
But at that very moment...
"Whoosh!"
A staggering beam of energy pierced through Xiao Yan's body in an instant!
"Huh?"
Immediately afterwards, a surprised voice suddenly came from the high sky not far behind. An old man hidden in a black robe raised his head with a look of astonishment and looked at Xiao Yan's location. He saw that Xiao Yan's body was dispersing into a patch of invisible light and disappearing into the world.
"Afterimage?"
The old man's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yan, who had already exerted a lot of effort, would still be able to dodge his sudden attack.
"Laugh!"
The next moment, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out in the sky and earth. The old man's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly moved to dodge, but he was still torn apart by the streak of light, tearing a corner of his black robe.
Looking at the tattered corner of his black robe, the old man's expression darkened slightly. He looked up and saw a young man in a black robe emerging from the void not far away, staring at him with an icy expression.
"Having managed to dodge my attack, you must have already noticed me."
Removing his black robe, the old man revealed a thin, dark face. His gloomy old eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan, and he chuckled with a hint of surprise in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan remained noncommittal and paid no further attention. With a wave of his right hand, a raging flame instantly rose in his palm, and the temperature of the world changed abruptly at that moment.
" Heavenly Flames..."
Gazing at the blazing flames in Xiao Yan's hand, the old man's gloomy eyes gleamed with greed. Compared to the woman in the white dress, the Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hand was far more alluring to him. If it weren't for that, he would have had to postpone his attack even further.
"My friend, how about this: you hand over the Heavenly Flames to me, and I'll let you and her leave, how about it?"
Suddenly, the old man grinned and said without any politeness.
"Laugh!"
However, the old man's words were met with a merciless burst of fiery light from Xiao Yan.
The stream of light pierced through the void and appeared in front of the old man in the blink of an eye. It was about to land on the old man, but he still looked indifferent, calmly watching the rapidly enlarging stream of flames in his eyes.
Just as the fiery light was about to strike the old man, a thick arm suddenly shot out from the invisible void. Enveloped in Origin Qi, it destroyed the fiery light with a single punch. Immediately afterward, three burly figures appeared one after another in front of the old man.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over them, and his heart immediately tightened. The three burly men who had appeared were all experts at the Origin Transformation Realm, and their auras were no weaker than the previous five.
"Hehe, so, have you thought it through? Although you were quick in killing those guys earlier, it must have taken a toll on you, especially since you also killed those small fry. In your current state, facing four of us at the Origin Transformation Realm, if you're unwilling to hand over the Heavenly Flames, I really don't know how you'll survive. So, I advise you to obediently hand over the Heavenly Flames to me, and I might spare your life."
The old man in black robes walked out from behind the three of them while laughing. The moment he finished speaking, a vast and boundless Spiritual Strength, like a storm, swept outwards and slammed down on Xiao Yan's head.
Sensing the terrifying Spiritual Strength, the expressions of the others present also changed drastically. This old man's Spiritual Strength was actually above the fifth level!
Fifth-Tier Soul Power!
"So, are you willing?"
The old man seemed quite satisfied with the shocked gazes around him. With his hands behind his back, he looked like a wise man. However, what he did was somewhat shameful. Of course, in this dog-eat-dog world, there is no distinction between good and evil, high and low.
As the black-robed elder finished speaking, the soul pressure descending upon Xiao Yan's head grew even stronger. However, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged.
"Snort!"
Immediately afterward, just as the black-robed elder was about to exert pressure again, Xiao Yan suddenly snorted coldly. Instantly, a terrifying Spiritual Strength, much stronger than the previous one, transformed into an invisible energy storm that swept across the world, forcibly pushing the black-robed elder back several steps.
The moment he looked up, a deep shock immediately filled the black-robed elder's eyes, and his expression changed drastically. The three burly men behind him, as well as the various powerful figures around him, all stared at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
"Fifth-tier... Fifth-Tier Soul Power! This kid actually has Fifth-Tier Soul Power too!"
"Damn it! So what if you possess Fifth-Tier Soul Power? I refuse to believe that you alone can defeat four experts at the Origin Transformation Realm!"
With a loud shout, the three experts at the Origin Transformation Realm behind the old man stepped forward, their imposing aura sweeping outwards without reservation. Then, with a swift movement, they transformed into three streaks of light, arriving in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye. Each of them swung their enormous fists, fiercely striking at Xiao Yan.
"Bang bang bang!"
Immediately following, three muffled thuds resounded, and the three experts at the Origin Transformation Realm let out a scream as their burly bodies were sent flying uncontrollably, finally crashing heavily onto the small island below.
Immediately, when everyone looked up in astonishment, they saw three figures standing in front of Xiao Yan, their powerful auras radiating outwards, causing everyone on the island to change their expressions instantly.
These three people who suddenly appeared were all powerful beings at the Late Origin Transformation Realm, judging from their auras!
However, just as everyone's attention was focused on these three people, a hundred figures descended from the sky on either side of Xiao Yan!
And without exception, all of these hundred people were at the Origin Transformation Realm level!
One hundred experts at the Origin Transformation Realm!
"A bunch of scum, daring to harm my Sea Tribe 'Sea Tribe elders on my territory! Their crimes are unforgivable! Kill them!"
