"Bang!"
As the Giant Elephant Art was broken, Xiao Yan's body was also violently blasted away by the remaining force. The powerful shockwave slammed into Xiao Yan's body. At this moment, Xiao Yan felt an almost unbearable pain coming from every part of his body, as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan's body fell like a shooting star, and was finally caught by Bai Hua just before he landed in the city below.
Looking at Xiao Yan, whose face was pale, Bai Hua felt a heavy weight in his heart. He couldn't believe that even with Xiao Yan's strength, he couldn't fight against this guy. Fu Yulong's strength was just too great. The difference in cultivation between the mid-stage of the Origin Transformation Realm and the Middle Origin Return Realm was too great, and it couldn't be made up for by combat power alone.
Although Xiao Yan's power was enough to face opponents in the Early-Stage Origin Return Realm, it only allowed him to remain undefeated. Defeating his opponent would be extremely difficult. The reason he was able to kill the Hall Master Gui of the Origin Return Realm in the previous battle was largely due to the suppressive effect of the Heavenly Flames. In addition, the Hall Master Gui of the Origin Xiao Yan was careless and did not notice Xiao Yan's Great Dao of the Void, which allowed Xiao Yan to suppress him all the way.
But this time was different. Whether in cultivation level or other aspects, Fu Yulong was superior to Xiao Yan. All of Xiao Yan's attacks were blocked by Fu Yulong with his powerful cultivation. Even the Giant Elephant Art useless against him. Xiao Yan's speed, which he used to be proud of, was now insignificant in front of Fu Yulong. In short, the difference in cultivation level between Xiao Yan and Fu Yulong was astonishing.
In this battle, Xiao Yan is destined to have no chance of winning.
"Heh, kid, you really are an astonishing fellow. Not only is your combat power far beyond your current cultivation level, but you also possess the Great Dao of the Void. If it weren't for the enmity between us, I would really be willing to befriend you. If you continue to grow, given time, you will surely become one of the strongest on the continent. But unfortunately, you are destined not to live to see that day."
Fu Yulong spoke calmly, his words carrying a hint of regret. Even the most ruthless and wicked heroes have a heart that cherishes talent. However, this heart can only be reserved for their own people. As for enemies, no matter how outstanding their talent may be, they are destined not to be let go.
As the saying goes, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, Fu Yulong has a profound understanding of this statement.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Fu Yulong appeared in front of Bai Hua. Xiao Yan was being supported by the latter. At this moment, Fu Yulong's appearance made Bai Hua's face turn gloomy. As his internal Origin Qi surged wildly, he slammed a palm at the person in front of him.
Facing Bai Hua's attack, Fu Yulong didn't even glance at it. He slapped back with his hand, and a surge of Origin Qi suddenly burst forth, like a storm, easily sweeping Bai Hua away. Fu Yulong's eyes, however, never left Xiao Yan.
"Kid, I can sense that there are more secrets within you. Since you haven't had the chance to unleash them, let me uncover them myself!"
With a cold laugh, a mocking glint flashed in Fu Yulong's eyes. His right hand, fingers together like a katana, gathered sharp Origin Qi at his fingertips, tearing through the void, and plunged headlong into Xiao Yan's chest. If this strike landed, Xiao Yan would be instantly disemboweled, and his death would be certain.
"Buzz!"
However, in the next moment, Xiao Yan's slightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and instantly, raging flames rose from his body, releasing intense heat that scorched and distorted the surrounding void.
Almost simultaneously, Fu Yulong's face showed surprise again. As the flames in front of him transformed into a fire dragon and rushed towards him, his sleeves billowed and his Origin Qi surged. At the same time, Fu Yulong's figure also retreated rapidly. Only after seeing the fire dragon annihilate itself with the Origin Qi dozens of feet away did he turn his gaze back to Xiao Yan, who had now turned into a fire man.
With his gaze fixed on the raging flames rising from Xiao Yan's body, Fu Yulong's surprise deepened. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that these flames were undoubtedly Heavenly Flames.
"It's actually Heavenly Flames! This kid is truly extraordinary. He managed to obtain something so terrifying. It seems... well, he won't be able to let you live today!"
Upon seeing the Heavenly Flames, Fu Yulong's greed surged. This thing was far more attractive than most cultivation resources. If he could obtain the Heavenly Flames from Xiao Yan, his strength would likely increase again. At that time, he might not even need to be wary of the guy behind Wu Kui. When that happened, he could disregard all agreements and bullshit forces!
"If you want my Heavenly Flames, you'll have to see if you can handle it!"
The moment he looked up, a purple-gold light shone from Xiao Yan's eyes, which were filled with flames. Almost at the same time, a faint, strange pressure was released from Xiao Yan's body. Even Xiao Yan's cultivation level rose again, and he was only one step away from stepping into the Origin Return Realm!
"Huh? This is... the bloodline pressure unique to the demon beast race? How does this kid possess it?"
Sensing that peculiar pressure, Fu Yulong's expression changed again. He never expected that Xiao Yan, a human, could release a bloodline pressure that only the demonic beast race possessed. This was truly astonishing.
However, what happened next was even more shocking.
Xiao Yan's aura actually broke through to the Origin Return Realm in one fell swoop!
"Why did this kid's aura suddenly change..."
This unexpected turn of events shocked Fu Yulong even more. First, there was the appearance of the Heavenly Flames, then the unique bloodline pressure of the demonic beast race, and now even Xiao Yan's aura had strangely risen to the Origin Return Realm. Even if it was a secret technique, it shouldn't be this exaggerated!
You want to know my secret? Then I'll tell you right now!
With flames blazing in his eyes, Xiao Yan's figure flashed suddenly. The instant his foot touched the void, his figure disappeared into the void. When he reappeared, his fist, enveloped in Origin Qi, was already in front of Fu Yulong. Such astonishing speed even surprised the latter, who possessed such cultivation.
"Bang!"
With a single punch, Fu Yulong, who had maintained a calm expression throughout, was finally blasted back by Xiao Yan's punch, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Although Xiao Yan's punch completely blocked and neutralized the Origin Qi, the terrifying power caused his right arm, which he used to defend, to instantly lose sensation. For a short period of time, he couldn't even lift it. The power that Xiao Yan was displaying at this moment finally made him feel a heavy pressure.
Just as Fu Yulong paused and before he could make any move, Xiao Yan appeared before him once again, as if by magic. His eyes, filled with flames, stared at him with icy coldness, looking down at him with undisguised killing intent.
"Proud and powerful, accept the baptism of my insignificant strength!"
