"Of course, if you are worried or willing, you are welcome to join my Tribulation Crossing Sect. I can guarantee that with your talent, if you join my Tribulation Crossing Sect, you will definitely become a core disciple, and your future achievements will be limitless. You may even be able to shoulder great responsibilities for my Tribulation Crossing Sect and become..."
"I'm sorry, I have no interest in joining your sect. As for the person, this girl is my friend's disciple, and I cannot hand her over to you. Therefore, please return, sir."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, firmly rejecting the old man's wishes.
When Xu Zhen heard the old man's words, his expression subtly changed. He hadn't expected that this old man would actually show a liking for Xiao Yan's talent and want to recruit him into the Tribulation Crossing Sect. If he were to succeed, it would be detrimental to his revenge and other plans. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's answer satisfied him quite a bit. Only in this way could he have a reason to push the guy beside him to kill Xiao Yan!
"Third Elder, this brat is arrogant and dares to speak to you like that, even looking down on my Tribulation Crossing Sect. We must teach him a lesson!"
Although the old man knew that Xu Zhen's words were just adding fuel to the fire, that was Xiao Yan's attitude. Moreover, there were two Woeful Poison Body in front of him. Since Xiao Yan was really unwilling to hand over the little girl to him, he would naturally have no choice but to take action himself.
"Young man, I value talent and therefore do not wish to fight you. However, that little girl is the Holy Maiden of my sect. No matter what, I must take her back today. If you remain obstinate, then don't blame me for taking action!"
As the slightly hoarse voice came out of the old man's mouth, a powerful aura suddenly swept out from his body. The terrifying aura caused Xiao Yan's expression to change instantly. At the same time, Xiao Yi Xian and the others behind him also hurriedly circulated their Origin Qi.
" Four-Star Yuan Zong Sect..."
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the old man, Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "This level of cultivation is even stronger than that of the Ancestor Fen Tian!"
"Buzz!"
Immediately afterward, Xu Zhen's body trembled slightly, and another powerful aura swept out once more. Judging from his aura at this moment, he had already reached the level of Three-Star Origin Emperor. Of course, this was under the premise of concealing his true strength. Otherwise, if the old man beside him knew that Xu Zhen's cultivation had reached the Six-Star Origin Emperor, he would probably be shocked.
With one Yuan Zong and one Origin Emperor, such a lineup is already terrifying for Xiao Yan's team at this moment. Fortunately, the other experts from the Tribulation Crossing Sect have not yet arrived. Otherwise, if they had gathered more experts here, they would have truly been trapped with no way to escape.
"Boy, I'm giving you one more chance. Either hand over the Holy Maiden, or come with me. Or don't blame me for taking action!"
The old man stared coldly at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was only at the Early-Stage Origin Emperor. Such cultivation was far from enough for him. Once he made a move, he was afraid that this group of people would not even have a chance to fight back.
"I'm sorry, we don't have any saintess here, and we won't leave with you, so please leave!"
As Xiao Yan uttered the shout, his body suddenly trembled, and purple Heavenly Flames instantly erupted from the pores of his entire body, enveloping him in the blink of an eye. Almost simultaneously, the temperature of this world also rose sharply, and the originally warm and humid air immediately became dry and scorching hot, even affecting the mountains and forests below.
"This is... Heavenly Flames?!"
Upon seeing the purple flames enveloping Xiao Yan, the old man's pupils constricted sharply, and a look of surprise appeared on his old face. Heavenly Flames in the world had long since become spiritual, yet he never imagined that a human could actually control Heavenly Flames. This was truly a wonder of the world!
"Boy, I've suddenly become curious about you. To be able to wield Heavenly Flames, no wonder you've reached the Origin Emperor realm at such a young age. However, I'll say it again: if you don't intend to hand over the Holy Maiden, then I'll have no choice but to kill you here. I will personally bring the Holy Maiden back!"
As he spoke, the old man slowly raised his withered hand. In his palm, a black Origin Qi slowly condensed and then formed a crescent-shaped black blade. There was no hilt. The three-finger-wide blade was held between the old man's five fingers. The sharp blade gleamed with a cold light that sent chills down one's spine.
"Boy, remember my name, Tang Long."
As the deep voice fell, the old man's hand trembled slightly, and the black curved blade shot out in the blink of an eye, shattering the void. In a few twists, it had already arrived in front of Xiao Yan, the blade gleaming with a cold light, aiming straight for Xiao Yan's brow.
If this blade were to fall, Xiao Yan would be doomed!
" Ancient Dragon Phoenix Armor, Golden Elephant Art, Heavenly Flames Armor, Condense!"
With a roar from the depths of his heart, three layers of protection instantly condensed on Xiao Yan's body. The raging purple flames were almost tangible, and the purple light flowed around them as if they were viscous like liquid, but the terrifying temperature still made people tremble with fear.
If it were with the Heavenly Severing Steps, Xiao Yan could easily dodge this attack, but unfortunately, Xiao Yi Xian and others were standing behind him. In order to prevent them from getting hurt, Xiao Yan could only rely on brute force to withstand this attack!
Upon seeing the almost tangible Heavenly Flames Armor that Xiao Yan had conjured, Tang Long couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, saying:
"Boy, I know this Heavenly Flames is extraordinary, but if you think you can stop my Black Moon Scimitar with just that, you're being too naive."
The next moment, in the sky above, that eerie black scimitar, despite Xiao Yan's triple defense, slammed into his body.
"Bang!"
The moment the scimitar touched the Heavenly Flames Armor, its spinning motion paused slightly before it began to spin wildly, unleashing a continuous stream of black light. From the side, it resembled a black full moon, its sharp edges relentlessly impacting Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames Armor. After a dozen seconds, with a resounding bang, the scimitar shattered Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan Heavenly Flames Armor, sending him staggering back several steps.
" Giant Elephant Art! Break!"
With another low shout, Xiao Yan's body trembled violently, and a fierce force poured out instantly, like a mountain torrent. At the same time, a chilling golden light emanated from Xiao Yan's body, and a terrifying force actually knocked the curved blade away. At the same time, a faint cracking sound also came from Xiao Yan's golden body.
Although Xiao Yan successfully withstood the old man's attack with his Heavenly Flames Armor and Giant Elephant Art, the Giant Elephant Art was on the verge of breaking. This old guy's strength was far more terrifying than Xiao Yan had imagined!
If we want to get away from these two as soon as possible, I'm afraid... we can no longer hesitate and be slow like we were when dealing with Futu Hao.
