"Die!"
Before Li Gan could finish speaking, he had already flashed to Xiao Yan's side, and his broad golden saber slashed down fiercely at Xiao Yan.
The surging Dou Qi within his body quickly covered the golden saber in his hand, making the saber even more powerful and its golden light even more dazzling. When exposed to the sunlight, the golden saber smashed down on Xiao Yan like a blazing sun.
The strong gust of wind caused Xiao Yan's hair to part to both sides, Xiao Yan's scalp felt a slight stinging pain, as if pricked by needles, which made Xiao Yan frown slightly.
Xiao Yan dared not be careless in the slightest. Although he was confident that he could fight Six-Star Half-Emperor, he still had to consider the consequences of such a rapid attack. Otherwise, he had encountered many times when he was caught off guard and his ship was overturned!
Within Xiao Yan's body, his Dou Qi rapidly circulated to his lower body. Then, with a swift movement of his feet, Xiao Yan instantly activated the Heavenly Severing Steps.
"Drink! Cut him down!"
With a single strike, Xiao Yan's body was instantly cleaved in two by the incomparably sharp golden blade, leaving everyone in the city below terrified.
But the next moment, it instantly drew laughter from the city. As the golden blade passed by, " Xiao Yan's" body was torn apart and then disappeared into the void.
At this moment, Li Gan's face finally turned completely gloomy, and his eyes were filled with an endless killing intent that was almost surging.
The golden blade in Li Gan's hand had only slain an afterimage of Xiao Yan, yet he still attacked it with such ferocity, believing that this Xiao Yan was the real body. Such sharp eyesight was truly a waste of his life.
In contrast to the laughter and jeers of the crowd in the city below, the expressions of the dozen or so Half-Emperor in the sky turned solemn in an instant.
Xiao Yan's movements were so fast that even they couldn't detect him!
They hadn't even noticed Xiao Yan's departure; his speed was truly terrifying!
The Elder Xuan, who stood in the sky, looked at Xiao Yan's afterimage with a look of surprise, unlike the others.
Elder Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring at a certain Void Space high in the sky, where something seemed to exist.
"Tsk tsk, who would have thought that the Heavenly Severing Steps, Four Great Sects have been searching for for a hundred years without success, has actually fallen into Yan Xiao's hands? Heh, no wonder you have the ability to compete with an Eight-Star Half-Emperor."
"This Heavenly Severing Steps truly lives up to its name! Judging from this, you've probably only had Yan Xiao for a short time, yet he's already unleashed such terrifying speed. If you were to successfully cultivate it, I wonder what kind of terrifying existence you would become!"
As Elder Xuan Elder Xuan into that void, it seemed as if there was a pair of eyes there, meeting his gaze. After a moment of slight surprise, the two tacitly agreed not to make any further moves.
"Drink!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from behind Li Gan, and a giant fist radiating dazzling golden light suddenly appeared from the space behind Li Gan, smashing fiercely towards Li Gan's back.
Li Gan was also startled for a moment by this sudden attack, but after all, he was an experienced person, and the fear on his face vanished in an instant.
He forcefully turned his body, twisting his form in an extremely strange instant. His internal Dou Qi surged and then rapidly gathered in his palm like a gushing spring. He struck out with his palm, which collided fiercely with Xiao Yan's punch.
With a loud bang, Li Gan's body suddenly trembled. He hadn't expected Xiao Yan's strength to be so great, and he couldn't help but take a half step back.
But a moment later, Li Gan suddenly swung the golden knife in his other hand and slashed it down fiercely at the giant golden fist.
Rushing Thunder Slash!
As the blade fell, a terrifying bolt of lightning accompanied it. Before the blade even arrived, the lightning struck first, slamming heavily into the giant fist.
Instantly, Xiao Yan felt a numbness in his arm, and even the golden light on the giant golden fist dimmed slightly.
Seeing this, Li Gan was secretly pleased. With a thought, another hundred-zhang-long bolt of lightning, even thicker than the previous one, instantly struck down, blasting towards the golden giant fist once more.
"Laugh"
A soft hissing sound rang out, and the hundred-foot-long lightning bolt that had just struck Xiao Yan's golden giant fist suddenly vanished as if it had fallen into an endless abyss.
The attack of Li Gan's men was also momentarily stunned by this strange scene, and Xiao Yan took the opportunity to completely eliminate the numbness in his arm.
With a cold snort, Xiao Yan unleashed another powerful punch. The massive fist shattered the void, and even the already empty space emitted a crisp cracking sound once more.
" Eight Extremes Blast! Hah!"
"Bang!"
A loud thud of flesh colliding suddenly rang out, and Li Gan's body was sent flying backward. As he flew, several sounds of bones breaking came from inside Li Gan's body.
Under this punch, several of Li Gan's bones were broken, which is enough to show the power contained in Xiao Yan's punch.
"Burst!"
A powerful voice suddenly came from Xiao Yan's mouth again. There was another loud thud in Li Gan's body as he was sent flying backward. His body tumbled uncontrollably in the air several times before finally coughing up blood and stopping his movements after retreating a thousand miles away.
When he looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes were filled with astonishment. What exactly happened in that attack?
As Xiao Yan blasted Li Gan back with a single punch, he slowly emerged from the void, a smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself:
"Little guy, you've finally woken up after sleeping for so long, huh? Hehe, but judging from your appearance, you've gained quite a bit from that wisp of spatial power! Not only has your strength fully recovered, but you've even reached the peak of the Peak Eight-Star Dou Sheng. Hehe, that's quite an unexpected surprise!"
What Xiao Yan was referring to was naturally the already sleeping Xiao Jin. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin would wake up at such a crucial moment, which saved Xiao Yan a lot of trouble.
At this moment, within Xiao Yan's body, a lightning dragon, its entire body crackling with golden Xiao Yan, was tumbling and dancing joyfully. The occasional flashes of silvery-white spatial energy around it made the little creature appear even more wondrous.
After exchanging a few casual words with Xiao Jin, Xiao Yan once again focused his attention on Li Gan, who was a thousand miles away.
Although Xiao Yan landed a punch squarely on Li Gan, Li Gan was, after all, Six-Star Half-Emperor. That blow was at most a superficial injury. Even if there were internal injuries, it wouldn't be considered a serious injury. For people of their level, it really was nothing.
"Drink!"
A furious roar, thick with bloodlust, suddenly erupted from Li Gan's mouth once more. At this moment, Li Gan had truly entered a berserk state. Today's humiliation was the most unbearable he had ever experienced. Therefore, Xiao Yan had already been included in the list of people he considered to be destined to die.
His figure flashed again, and Li Gan's figure instantly disappeared into this Void Space, as if he had never existed.
At the same time, the Void Space in front of Xiao Yan shattered once again, and an extremely sharp golden blade instantly traversed the thousand-mile distance, appearing in front of Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and bringing down the blade towards his head.
Xiao Yan, not to be outdone, revealed a cold smile. The Heavenly Flames in his palm manifested once more, rapidly condensing before Xiao Yan swung his sleeve and unleashed a powerful strike, colliding violently with the golden blade.
In just a short while, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows, and both had sustained injuries.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Li Gan's robes are tattered, his body is covered in bruises and even large patches of skin burned by flames. He looks as if he has been thrown into a fire and roasted, appearing utterly disheveled.
Compared to Li Gan, although Xiao Yan's clothes were also slightly torn, it was clear that Li Gan's attacks only damaged Xiao Yan's robes. With the Heavenly Severing Steps protecting him, Xiao Yan was able to dodge all of Li Gan's attacks with his full strength.
At this moment, Li Gan was increasingly furious. He, a dignified Six-Star Half-Emperor, had been injured so badly by a Three-Star Half-Emperor. How could he accept this?
But at this moment, he felt quite helpless. Xiao Yan's speed was far beyond his ability to catch up with. Such speed was probably not even comparable to that of Eight-Star Half-Emperor using all his strength!
Unfortunately, while Li Gan was still thinking about how to deal with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan had already lost the patience to continue.
Today's battle was merely an attempt by Xiao Yan to assess his own strength. He was already in a position of invincibility against Six-Star Half-Emperor, so there was no need to continue playing around.
With a swift movement, Xiao Yan retreated a thousand miles in an instant, his eyes blazing with fire. With a wave of his sleeve, a surge of Heavenly Flames swept out, and the hand seals in his palms changed rapidly. Judging from these hand seals, they were none other than Xiao Yan's second most famous Dou Technique, Buddha's Fury Reincarnation!
