"Now, it's your turn!"
Xie Shan Mountain smiled coldly, glanced at the fierce battle between the Ancestor Fen Tian and the Hall Master Xiao in the sky, and then his extremely cold gaze returned to Xiao Yan. With a thought, the vast Origin Qi in his body was once again poured into the scythe in his hand.
"Trying to kill me? That won't be so easy!"
Seeing Xie Shan's gaze fall upon him, Xiao Yan's expression changed, but he snorted coldly. Then, he quickly raised both hands, his ten fingers moving in unison, and a surge of Spiritual Strength rapidly flowed outward. Immediately afterward, it rapidly condensed in the void beside him, instantly transforming into nine avatars with almost solidified bodies. At this moment, judging from the aura of these nine avatars, they had all reached the Origin King Great Realm!
Over the course of three years, along with Xiao Yan's cultivation level, his Nine Revolutions Avatar Art also improved. When Xiao Yan left the Fire Maple Forest, all nine incarnations had already reached the Origin King realm. After being baptized in the Lightning Pool, they were even more fortunate to break through to the Two-Star Origin King, making them a formidable force.
"Oh? It's actually an avatar... and it even possesses the cultivation of Two-Star Origin King. That's quite a skill, but this method is only effective against ordinary Origin Emperor. As for me..."
Glancing at the two Origin Emperor on the other side, who were in dire straits under the combined attack of Qing Feng and the others, Xie Shan gave a faint sneer. However, before he could finish speaking, he saw that the nine avatars beside Xiao Yan were all flashing with a shimmering white light. The light continued to converge, and in just a few breaths, they all merged into one, and the nine avatars were thus united as one.
What if that's the case?
Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at the rather confident fellow, a low snort escaping his throat. He met the gaze of his avatar beside him, and the two exchanged a knowing sneer. Then, their figures flashed, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Xie Shan from the front and back.
The nine avatars merged into one, and their strength soared even higher. At this moment, the cultivation level of the avatars was comparable to that of Seven-Star Origin King, and their combat power was also remarkable. If they were to really fight, even Xie Shan would not be able to completely ignore them.
Seeing that the cultivation level of the fusion avatar behind him had actually increased to that of Seven-Star Origin King, Xie Shan's expression changed. The power of this avatar was indeed astonishing. If the power of the nine avatars were even stronger, they might be able to create another avatar with a cultivation level comparable to Xiao Yan's main body after fusion. That would be truly terrifying.
Xiao Yan's combat power was already so astonishing; if he were to fuse another avatar into one, even he would struggle to cope. Fortunately, that imagined scenario did not materialize, so these two were still no match for him.
" Xie Shan, now, do you still dare to say you're useless to me?"
As the chilling voice fell, Xiao Yan gave Xie Shan no time to reply. Together with his avatar behind him, the two moved in unison, transforming into two afterimages. Wielding giant rulers, they slashed at Xie Shan from all directions.
The two approached Xie Shan one after the other, gripping the heavy ruler tightly in both hands. Xiao Yan let out a low shout, and the giant ruler was immediately swung out horizontally, as if to sweep away all the thorns. At the same time, the avatar behind Xie Shan raised the giant fiery ruler high above his head with both hands, in a mountain-splitting posture, and slashed straight down at Xie Shan's head!
The powerful attacks from two different directions made it difficult for Xie Shan to defend itself. This pincer movement left him with no choice but to fight back.
"Hmph, fear not you! The Great Dao of the Undead, the Life-Reaping Scythe!"
Seeing this, Xie Shan let out a low shout, put the chains into his Storage Ring, and then slammed out with both hands, one in front and one behind. Almost at the same time, the Power of the Great Dao rapidly condensed between his palms, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into two huge, pitch-black scythes.
The scythes spun rapidly in his hand, tearing through the air as their chaotic afterimages almost formed a circular shield. Just as Xiao Yan and his avatar's attacks landed heavily, he forcefully pushed them outwards, causing the two scythes to collide violently with the giant ruler. Sparks flew, and the powerful force attached to the scythes instantly blasted Xiao Yan and his avatar back.
"Hmph, so what if he's an avatar? So what if he's at the Peak Origin King? He's nothing before the Yuan Zong!"
With a single blow, he forced the two back, but Xie Shan's expression remained unchanged. In a flash, he appeared in front of the avatar, his five fingers curling into claws. He ripped the avatar's chest open, sending it flying backward uncontrollably. Before it could even catch its breath, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on Xie Shan's face. Almost simultaneously, the Power of the Great Dao condensed behind the avatar once more, and a jet-black scythe slashed fiercely at the avatar!
At the same time, Xiao Yan, who had stopped in his tracks, flashed behind Xie Shan and swung his giant ruler upwards with a fierce strike, the sharp light of the ruler suddenly bursting forth in an instant.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler!"
With a single swing, Xie Shan's body instantly exploded, then vanished into nothingness—and this was clearly just an afterimage of the latter!
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. Before he could dodge, an extremely cold aura came from behind him, and Xie Shan's figure appeared behind him like a ghost, his face contorted with rage. He raised his right palm, and then...
"Bang!"
A palm struck Xiao Yan heavily on the back, unleashing a powerful force that instantly shattered his defenses. A solid palm print appeared on Xiao Yan's back, along with a large wound from which blood gushed, a gruesome sight.
Xiao Yan's body was also blasted away by this palm strike, his face quickly turned deathly pale, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood. His breathing also weakened considerably. This palm strike had seriously injured Xiao Yan!
However, in the blink of an eye, he found that Xiao Yan's avatar was standing in the void not far away, staring at him with a cold expression. The originally solid body now appeared much more illusory. It seems that the price the avatar paid to withstand that attack was also quite high!
"Hey, you're still here? Then let me finish you off myself."
With a mocking laugh, Xie Shan's body trembled slightly, and the avatar's expression instantly changed. It retreated hastily, but Xie Shan easily caught up with it at a leisurely pace. Meanwhile, the remaining Origin Qi within Xiao Yan's body was rapidly dissipating...
"Hehehe, too slow, too slow! With this speed, you actually dare to think you can evade my pursuit? You overestimate yourself!"
Completely ignoring Xiao Yan, who was already seriously injured, Xie Shan appeared in front of the avatar in the blink of an eye. Their noses were almost touching. Just as the latter's expression changed, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind them, and then the avatar was kicked away by Xie Shan. After several collisions, the avatar was continuously brutalized in Xie Shan's hands, until a certain moment...
"Pfft!"
Xie Shan bent his right hand into a claw and pierced through the chest of the avatar from front to back. The latter's body gradually became illusory, and the person hung limply on Xie Shan's arm.
However, the next moment, as the ferocious look on Xie Shan's face gradually widened, his brows suddenly furrowed. He clearly sensed that the power within the avatar before him was raging wildly. The power that was about to dissipate rapidly condensed, then became even more violent and uncontrollable. This caused Xie Shan's pupils to suddenly shrink.
"This guy... self-destructed?!"
The thought flashed through his mind, and Xie Shan didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly tried to pull his arm out of the guy's body. However, the moment he looked up, the face of the avatar was full of mockery, and a cold, chilling voice slowly came out.
"Sorry, it's too late..."
The next second, a deafening explosion resounded through the void!
