In Shahepu, Xiao Yan stared with a solemn expression at the group of figures standing in the void not far away. His heart pounded, especially when his gaze swept over the black-robed man at the head of the group.
The appearance of the Origin Return Realm expert instantly reversed the situation, and the previously favorable situation for Xiao Yan and the others was no longer there.
Although the battle has not yet begun, the outcome seems quite clear based on the situation on the field.
Qinhuang Lost Valley's side has a greater number of experts at the Origin Transformation Realm and Dou Di than Xiao Yan's side. Given this disadvantage, it can be said that Xiao Yan and his group have absolutely no chance of winning.
Upon realizing this, even the members of the Xiao Gate behind Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a slight unease, and some even considered backing out.
No matter how precious the elixir was, it was not as important as their lives. It was impossible for a team of only forty people to fight against a sect with nearly seventy members. Moreover, the difference in the number of experts between the two sides was already very obvious. Fighting against them now would be tantamount to suicide. No matter how crazy they were about the Ultimate Transformation Pill, they would not risk their lives.
" Xiao Yan, hehehehe, I've heard so much about your name. After spending so long in the Western Region, I've finally seen your true face."
Just as both sides fell silent, the black-robed man beside Ye Luotian suddenly shifted his gaze, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes in the black mist. He stared intently at Xiao Yan opposite him like a venomous snake, letting out a strange laugh.
"Ha, a bunch of inhuman freaks! I've been waiting for this day for ages. Let's start settling our score with you first!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan stared at the former with extremely cold eyes, his face revealing a strong killing intent. The moment he finished speaking, his body trembled, and instantly, pale blue flames burst into flames, enveloping Xiao Yan's entire body.
Upon seeing this, the pair of scarlet eyes under the black robe narrowed slightly. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally recognize that the flames attached to Xiao Yan were indeed Heavenly Flames. However, what surprised him was that the aura of these Heavenly Flames was not from the Dou Qi Continent, but rather from the original forms of those Heavenly Flames that had already transformed into spirits on the Origin Martial Continent.
"Could it be the Spirit of Heavenly Flames?"
Upon noticing this, the expression beneath the black-robed man's mask changed slightly. However, when he examined the pale blue flame on Xiao Yan's body again, he couldn't help but frown. If it truly was Spirit of Heavenly Flames, then why was the color of this Heavenly Flames on Xiao Yan's body pale blue?
As far as he knew, there was no such Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking that exhibited this color. Moreover, if Xiao Yan truly possessed Spirit of Heavenly Flames, why would he show such an expression upon seeing them? That solemn expression did not seem to be feigned.
Although he guessed that Xiao Yan did not have Spirit of Heavenly Flames protecting him, the man in black Xiao Yan still felt a little wary of him.
Although Xiao Yan's cultivation level was far inferior to his, he had long heard of the former's terrifying combat power. Fighting against opponents of higher levels was already commonplace for him. Therefore, even with his cultivation level, he couldn't help but feel somewhat worried about fighting Xiao Yan this time.
"Hmph, Ye Luotian, I never thought you'd be hanging out with this bunch of guys."
Just then, from another part of the arena, Qin Shuo suddenly let out a low, cold snort. As the hegemon of the Western Region, Qin Shuo had naturally heard of the Ghost Hall, and he recognized the identities of these black-robed men the moment he saw them.
"Hahaha, Valley Master, you are mistaken. How can we call this 'mingling'? The reason I invited these gentlemen here is because we share the same goal. You and I are here for Xiao Yan, and they are here for Xiao Yan as well. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We are now in a cooperative relationship. Valley Master's words are rather disheartening!"
However, in response to Qin Shuo's cold snort, Ye Luotian shook his head with a smile, a cold glint flashing in the depths of his gloomy old eyes, and he smiled sinisterly.
"What kind of bullshit cooperation is this? The people I'm dealing with are not for outsiders to interfere with. And listen to me clearly, the people I'm going to kill are Xiao Yan and Leng Bingshuang, not just him. Don't try to compare me to these scum!"
"Hehehehe... Valley Master Qin, don't you understand the situation clearly? If we hadn't intervened, did you really think you could deal with Xiao Yan with just these few people from Qinhuang Lost Valley?"
"If you really think we're meddling, then so be it. We'll leave now and see how your Qinhuang Lost Valley fights Xiao Yan!"
Just as Qin Shuo's curses fell, the man in black robes let out a strange laugh, his scarlet eyes sweeping over Qin Shuo and Xiao Yan's group, his mouth full of cold laughter.
"You..."
Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, Qin Shuo's Elder Zhang twitched slightly. Although he was unwilling to admit it, it was the truth. Without the help of the group before him, they would have been no match for Xiao Yan's side. After a long while, Qin Shuo finally let out a cold snort of resentment. Then, Ye Luotian turned his gaze to him again and chuckled:
"Valley Master, instead of complaining here, why not take this opportunity to eliminate Xiao Yan and his group together, so as to avoid endless troubles in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuo's fierce gaze immediately fell on Ye Luotian. In the end, all of this was caused by this guy. But unfortunately, he had nowhere to retreat now. He could only deal with Xiao Yan first and then discuss their matter.
"Everyone in Qinhuang Lost Valley, listen to my command! Kill them!"
Qin Shuo waved his hand, pointing directly at Xiao Yan's group. Immediately afterward, the Qinhuang Lost Valley people behind him shouted battle cries, their momentum overwhelming the sky. Powerful auras intertwined in the air, like a Hai Xiao rushing towards Xiao Yan and his companions.
Faced with this astonishing scene, the people behind Xiao Yan all turned pale and were shocked.
The war has only just begun, yet these people have already lost all will to fight...
"Kill!"
However, at that very moment, a large group of people suddenly emerged from behind Xiao Yan and the others. Dozens of figures flew into the air and charged towards the group from Qinhuang Lost Valley. The sounds of battle rose up, and their power was in no way inferior to that of the former.
"Hahahaha! Brother Xiao Yan, you saved us from our suffering that day, and afterwards they came to me hoping I could lead them in today's great battle to lend you a hand!"
Looking up, there were probably no fewer than forty powerful figures who had arrived. As Xiao Yan looked in the direction of the voice, Lü Zhongtian gracefully descended in front of him. Upon seeing Xiao Yan, he bowed respectfully.
As for the crowd rushing forward, they were naturally the group of Dou Di powerhouses that Xiao Yan had rescued in the Pingshan Western Hollow not long ago. However, today's crowd was significantly larger than those of the previous few days.
