The sudden appearance of Lü Zhongtian and his group of Dou Di experts was a godsend for Xiao Yan. The originally unfavorable situation immediately stabilized after their arrival. The forty-odd people fought against Qinhuang Lost Valley's group of Dou Di experts, and it was difficult to determine a winner in a short time. The battle situation quickly stabilized.
"Haha, Brother Lü, you've truly come to my aid! I'll remember this and will certainly repay you all handsomely afterward!"
The appearance of Lü Zhongtian made Xiao Yan feel relieved, and the burden on his shoulders seemed to lighten considerably in an instant. He immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lü Zhongtian, his face full of gratitude.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, you flatter us. You saved us first, and we are all honored to be able to help you. After they came to me after leaving Pingshan Western Hollow that day, I used my prestige in the Western Region to contact some friends I had met before. Unfortunately, in the end, I could only win over eleven people. It truly shows that true friendship is revealed in times of trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nod and sigh. That's just how people are. It's certainly valuable to add flowers to brocade, but only by offering charcoal in the snow can we see people's true feelings.
This time, Lü Zhongtian's actions will undoubtedly drastically alter the relationship between him and Xiao Yan in an instant.
"So it was you, Xiao Yan! No wonder these guys suddenly disappeared; it was all your doing!"
Hearing the conversation between Xiao Yan and Lü Zhongtian, Ye Luotian, who was already feeling frustrated about the matter, immediately understood. It turned out that it was Xiao Yan who had rescued these people from the Pingshan Western Hollow. No wonder he had severed his connection with the Withered Leaf Gu in their bodies afterward. With the Heavenly Flames in his body, Xiao Yan could easily remove the Withered Leaf Gu from them.
Looking at Ye Luotian, who was staring at them with an extremely gloomy expression, Xiao Yan and Lü Zhongtian both smiled coldly, their eyes filled with boundless killing intent. Everyone present probably wanted to kill this villain. Today, the others present might have a chance to survive, but Ye Luotian was definitely going to die!
"You should go too. These people alone are no match for them."
In the void, the black-robed man glanced at the people fighting fiercely in front of him, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes. The role of the Dou Di powerhouses in this battle was nothing more than cannon fodder. No matter how many there were, the final decisive power was still in the hands of these people, or rather, in his hands.
After all, in front of a Origin Return Realm expert, the so-called Origin Transformation Realm is nothing at all.
At his command, the ten men in black robes nodded in response, and then leaped into the air, transforming into streaks of light and swiftly joining the fighting crowd ahead.
With the addition of these ten Dou Di experts, the battle situation immediately shifted in Qinhuang Lost Valley's favor. Seeing this, Xiao Yan dared not be careless. He raised his hand and waved, and the Xiao Gate members behind him regained their confidence and charged forward.
The arrival of Lü Zhongtian and others instantly leveled the score between the two sides. In fact, in terms of the number of Dou Di experts alone, Xiao Gate had more than ten more than Qinhuang Lost Valley. It was only a matter of time before they defeated each other.
Next, it will be time for the two sides' strongest fighters to clash.
" Hall Master Gui, leave this brat to me and Valley Master Qin. You just need to deal with the others..."
"No, I want to fight Xiao Yan myself. You are not worthy."
Before Ye Luotian could finish speaking, the black-robed man beside him suddenly sneered, his words filled with disdain. Ye Luotian's expression changed instantly upon hearing this, while Ye Luotian let out a cold snort and said:
"I advise you not to have any improper thoughts, and don't think I'm looking down on you. Although your cultivation level is not low, as far as I know, Xiao Yan has never been defeated among those of the same level. Even if the two of you join forces, you would never be his match. Moreover, he possesses Heavenly Flames, which gives him an overwhelming advantage over your own attributes. If you want to seek death, I won't stop you."
After a barrage of sarcasm, even though Ye Luotian was extremely unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and remain silent. He had fought with Xiao Yan before and knew very well how powerful the latter was. He was no match for him. But the person in front of him said that even if he and Qin Shuo joined forces, they would not be a match for Xiao Yan. This was a gross underestimation of the two of them.
Unfortunately, the one who is in control of the situation now is the former, not Ye Luotian. Even he has to bow his head in front of this Hall Master Gui.
" Xiao Yan, let me handle you. As for the others..."
The Hall Master Gui first gave Xiao Yan a sinister look, then his gaze swept over the two black-robed men behind him. The two men nodded immediately, and in a flash, they stood in front. Ye Luotian, Qin Shuo, and the others followed closely behind. The six experts at the Origin Transformation Realm blocked Xiao Yan and his group from the opposite side.
Apart from Xiao Yan, the other five were all facing a Origin Transformation Realm expert from Qinhuang Lost Valley.
Cai'er and the Heaven-Reaching Giant Ape faced the two Origin Transformation Realm experts from the Ghost Hall, while Lü Zhongtian and Murong Xuan confronted the two Origin Transformation Realm from Qinhuang Lost Valley. As for the Valley Master, he naturally faced off against his nemesis Leng Bingshuang.
At this moment, Ye Luotian was still all alone in the arena.
"Gah gah gah gah... Valley Master, if the two of us join forces, we can surely subdue this woman within a hundred moves!"
Seeing that no one else was stopping him, Ye Luotian let out a strange laugh, and his gloomy eyes fell on Leng Bingshuang.
Noticing their gazes directed at her, Leng Bingshuang's expression immediately darkened, and her heart grew heavy.
Leng Bingshuang admitted that she did not have the strength to face two equally powerful opponents alone, but given the current tense situation, this was probably the only option.
"Bang!"
However, at that very moment, Xiao Yan suddenly waved his sleeve, and a black streak of light shot out, heading straight for Ye Luotian.
The two had only clashed once before, and the sheer power of the blow sent Ye Luotian flying.
When everyone stared in shock, they saw a purple-gold steel body standing in the void, its eyes indifferently fixed on Ye Luotian, its entire body radiating a murderous aura.
"Puppet!"
Upon seeing this, everyone was immediately shocked. With their keen eyesight, they could naturally discern the puppet's strength. Judging from that attack alone, its combat power was probably at least at the Origin Transformation Realm!
Immediately afterwards, everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Yan. A puppet at the Origin Transformation Realm level. It seems that not only Ye Luotian had a hidden hand, but Xiao Yan had also been hiding a part of his strength.
A puppet at the Origin Transformation Realm level could significantly alter the outcome of the entire battle.
" Northern King, kill him!"
Immediately following, Xiao Yan's extremely cold command rang out, and the suspended Northern King responded with a dry and indifferent voice. Then, his body suddenly moved, and he transformed into a streak of light, instantly colliding fiercely with Ye Luotian.
A great war is about to break out!
