After repelling the Hall Master Gui, Xiao Yan turned his attention back to himself.
Feeling the intense, burning power coursing through his muscles and bones, Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Giant Elephant Art. Compared to the first three techniques of the Four Saints Manifestation Art, the Giant Elephant Art brought Xiao Yan far greater power, more than doubling the original strength, far surpassing any of the other Three Image Technique.
However, upon further reflection, it made sense. The Giant Elephant Art was a product of the integration of the Three Image Technique, but having incorporated all the characteristics and advantages of the Three Image Technique, its power was incomparable.
Then, Xiao Yan's gaze fell upon the enormous phantom outside his body, formed entirely from pure internal energy. He reasoned that this phantom was the essence of the Giant Elephant Art. Although it appeared somewhat illusory, its immense pressure was unparalleled, something even the Vajra Glazed Body could not match.
Although the first three techniques can also condense illusory images after cultivation, their uses are different, and their effects are naturally different as well. However, after the Giant Elephant Art integrates the three techniques, Xiao Yan can achieve a perfect combination of offense and defense with the Giant Elephant Art Technique. Even in terms of his own speed, Xiao Yan is completely confident that he will not be inferior in any way.
The advantage of the Winged Elephant Art is that it can improve the speed of all aspects of the cultivator as a whole. Combined with the Heavenly Severing Steps and the formation of the Giant Elephant Art, Xiao Yan's overall strength was raised to a new level in an instant!
Even without the protection of Origin Qi, Xiao Yan's power is still not to be underestimated. The Hall Master Gui did not rush to kill Xiao Yan at the most critical moment, which will probably become the most regrettable mistake of his life.
"Hmph, so you still have the strength to resist? But even so, so what? You're at your last gasp. Let's see how much trouble you can cause!"
After a moment of surprise, the Hall Master Gui relaxed considerably once he realized that Xiao Yan was not using Origin Qi. After all, Origin Qi was the representative of the power in this world, and brute force alone could not sustain it for long. Therefore, it posed no threat to the Hall Master Gui at this moment.
" Ghost Rakshasa Seal!"
Immediately afterward, the Hall Master Gui swiftly formed hand seals, and the black mist swirling around his body churned violently. Soon, a ball of black mist the size of a football condensed in the void before him. Most strangely, a bizarre human face appeared on the front of the black mist, struggling and writhing, its mouth wide open, its face contorted in extreme pain. Then, the Hall Master Gui forcefully pushed forward, and this strange black mist hurtled towards Xiao Yan opposite him.
Seeing the pained expression on the face in the black mist, Xiao Yan knew without a doubt that it belonged to one of the powerful figures in the city who had been devoured by the Hall Master Gui. He couldn't believe the Hall Master Gui was so vicious, not only devouring people alive but also using their still-spreading souls as Dou Technique. Such an outrageous act could probably only be committed by someone like the Ghost Hall Master.
"They don't even spare the dead? Humph, what a bunch of inhuman beasts!"
With a curse, Xiao Yan's gaze quickly fell upon the oncoming cloud of black mist. His eyes sharpened, and he extended his right hand, raising his arm forward before slamming it down heavily. At the same time, he spoke again:
"As for you, let me help you find peace!"
"Bang!"
The instant Xiao Yan finished speaking, the enormous illusory hand slammed down, shattering the black mist with a single blow. The power and soul within it were also instantly reduced to nothingness. Xiao Yan forcefully destroyed the Hall Master Gui's attack with the most domineering force.
Damn it!
Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across the Hall Master Gui's bloodshot eyes. He cursed under his breath, then suddenly turned around and slammed his foot heavily into the void. The invisible void shattered instantly, and the Hall Master Gui's figure transformed into a cannonball, arriving in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and slammed his fist down heavily on Xiao Yan.
"Bang!"
However, the Hall Master Gui's attack was once again blocked by Xiao Yan. In the Hall Master Gui's incredulous gaze, Xiao Yan used the Giant Elephant Art to firmly grasp his huge fist in his palm. No matter how the latter struggled, it was ultimately to no avail.
Instead, Xiao Yan gripped the Hall Master Gui's fist and tightened his grip, Hall Master Gui's wrist with a powerful force. A painful roar escaped the Hall Master Gui's lips in an instant. Then, Xiao Yan pulled back forcefully, dragging the Hall Master Gui's body in front of him. His right leg shot up like lightning, slamming heavily into the Hall Master Gui's chest with lightning speed.
"Bang!"
With a deafening blow, the Hall Master Gui's chest caved in instantly, his face turning crimson in an instant, and his scarlet eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. Before he could struggle any further, the powerful force sent Hall Master Gui flying!
"Call..."
Having sent the Hall Master Gui flying with a single blow, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath, his chest heaving. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the Hall Master Gui had been blasted away, a sharp killing intent appearing in his eyes.
"Roar! Damn it!"
Soon, the Hall Master Gui's furious shouts and curses echoed from the distant sky once more, his frenzied killing intent sending a chill down one's spine even from a great distance.
A sharp, piercing sound of wind breaking through the air rang out in the sky, but Xiao Yan remained unmoved. As he focused his attention, the figure of the Hall Master Gui, who had just been blasted away, actually charged forward again, his momentum fierce and undoubtedly even more powerful than before, making him someone not to be underestimated.
Even so, Xiao Yan calmly clenched his fist, unleashing the fierce and domineering power emanating from his muscles. At the same time, he concentrated all the limited Origin Qi within his body into his right fist. The powerful force, even without being released outwards, still caused the invisible void to tremble slightly, rippling outwards in shallow circles.
When the Hall Master Gui once again approached Xiao Yan, his aura was like that of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, as if he wanted to devour Xiao Yan whole. Powerful Dou Qi gathered in front of him, and his entire being transformed into the strongest weapon. In this state, any Dou Technique were superfluous; only the most direct collision could produce the desired result in the fastest way.
At the same time, the latter's bent right arm snapped open like a spring, and the speed of his punch was unimaginable. Just as his powerful fist was about to collide with the Hall Master Gui, Xiao Yan once again let out a thunderous roar.
" Eight Extremes Blast!"
