" The Great Dao of Ghosts! Hundred Ghosts Devour Souls!"
In the void, the Hall Master Xiao let out a chilling shout. Around him, wisps of eerie black mist rapidly gathered and coalesced, forming several bizarre, twisted black holes that enveloped Xiao Yan. From within these holes came the sound of chains grinding together, accompanied by a sinister shriek. Countless illusory black ghostly figures suddenly burst forth from these black holes, wielding black chains and exuding an extremely cold aura, tearing through the void and hurtling towards Xiao Yan.
Surrounded by enemies, Xiao Yan frowned deeply. After several battles, the light on his giant flaming ruler had dimmed considerably, and his Origin Qi was almost depleted. Now that the Hall Master Xiao was going all out, he feared he would have difficulty withstanding this attack!
However, despite this, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Yan's dark eyes. As he watched the countless ghostly figures rushing towards him and the increasingly intense blood-red light in the eyes of the Hall Master Xiao, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. Then, in the next moment, to the Hall Master Xiao's incredulous gaze, he frantically mobilized the remaining Origin Qi in his body, and his entire body began to expand rapidly and uncontrollably.
A surge of violent energy overflowed from all parts of his body, and cracks rapidly spread across his body. At the same time, the expression on the face beneath the mask of the Hall Master Xiao changed drastically.
"This guy... he's going to self-destruct?!"
Hall Master Xiao could not believe that Xiao Yan, with his personality, would be forced to such an extent. As far as he knew in the Ghost Hall, Xiao Yan had never done anything so crazy before, no matter how desperate the situation was!
"Boom!"
This time, before Hall Master Xiao could even distinguish the truth from the falsehood, a deafening explosion resounded across the sky. The powerful energy storm instantly destroyed Hall Master Xiao's Dou Technique, and the sky above where the two were located was shattered by this powerful energy storm. Countless ghostly figures were wiped out in an instant.
With his Dou Technique destroyed, the latter was also affected by the energy storm that followed, which blasted his body away again. Under the impact of such terrifying energy, even with the cultivation of the Hall Master Xiao, taking this blow in his current state would be enough to make him pay a heavy price, even if he wasn't seriously injured.
Countless eyes across the city gazed at the terrifying energy sweeping across the sky, their expressions filled with shock. They could hardly believe that Xiao Yan would actually use self-destruction to counter the attack of the Hall Master Xiao. At this moment, perhaps only Xiao Yi Xian and the others, as well as Xu Zhen who was outside the city, truly understood everything.
On the other side, in the battle circle where Luo Cheng and the others were, everyone turned their gazes due to the terrifying explosion. Seeing what was happening in front of them, Luo Cheng and the others were also in a state of intense turmoil. They also could not believe what they were seeing. It wasn't until they saw the calm expressions of Xiao Yi Xian and the others that they seemed to understand something. Then they turned their attention back to Xu Shuang and the others in front of them.
At this moment, the astonishing energy storm in the sky slowly dissipated, and the figure of the Hall Master Xiao finally reappeared before everyone's eyes.
At this moment, the Hall Master Xiao had his black robe completely torn, and most of the black mist surrounding him had dissipated, revealing a emaciated body beneath. His dark skin was stained with blood, and strange black runes covered his entire body, emitting eerie light. It was precisely because of these runes that he had not been seriously injured in the previous explosion.
"Cough cough cough..."
After a violent coughing fit, a cold smile finally appeared on the lips of the Hall Master Xiao beneath his mask. Xiao Yan had ultimately been defeated by him. Although he died in the end, as long as he wasn't personally killed by him, the higher-ups wouldn't blame him. As for now...
Hall Master Xiao sneered, his gaze slowly rising from below. After passing over a dark shadow, it landed on Xiao Yi Xian and the others. He was about to mobilize the remaining Origin Qi in his body when his expression suddenly changed. He quickly looked down and clearly saw a fading shadow on the walls of the Heavenly Cloud Manor. Judging from the appearance of that shadow, it was undoubtedly Xiao Yan!
"That's... Xiao Yan?!"
Upon seeing this, Hall Master Xiao's eyes narrowed instantly, and a sense of horror rose in his heart. The next second, a sharp sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out in the void in front of him. Hall Master Xiao disregarded his surroundings and, with his emotions tense, stepped on the void and hurriedly retreated.
As he retreated rapidly, a strange figure appeared directly where he had been a moment before. A fist enveloped in purple flames slammed into the void, and the invisible void immediately shattered and collapsed upon impact.
"How was it? Did you have a good time?"
His punch missed its mark, and a cold smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. His figure trembled, and he disappeared again.
As the Hall Master Xiao looked up, he saw Xiao Yan's figure disappear once again, and a chill ran through his heart. He had really been careless. The one that exploded amidst the surrounding ghostly figures was indeed not Xiao Yan!
But looking at Xiao Yan's terrifying speed at this moment, and the fact that his overall strength has not diminished much, this makes the Hall Master Xiao even more terrified. The two have clearly fought for hundreds of rounds, so why is Xiao Yan's combat power still so formidable?!
"Heh, curious? Then let my fists tell you!"
A cold laugh echoed from beside his ear. The Hall Master Xiao's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly stomped his foot on the air, abruptly halting his retreat. His face filled with horror, he quickly turned around, raising his hands and gathering all his inner Origin Qi into his palms. Immediately, a large cloud of black mist, mixed with the Origin Qi, surged forward and then exploded violently!
Before the fierce shockwave from the explosion could completely dissipate, it was blocked in place by an invisible force. It was as if there was an invisible wall behind it. The next moment, the fist burning with purple flames was thrown out fiercely, powerfully and domineeringly passing through the aftershocks of the explosion and slamming heavily into the chest of the Hall Master Xiao.
"Bang!"
With a powerful punch, the Hall Master Xiao let out a hoarse scream and was sent flying backward uncontrollably.
"Compared to a few months ago, you are no longer worthy of being my opponent!"
With a low growl, Xiao Yan stomped his foot on the air and followed up, raising his right fist sharply. His gaze was fixed on the Hall Master Xiao, who was right in front of him, and the cold killing intent in his eyes was revealed without any attempt to hide it.
Almost simultaneously, outside the manor, Xu Zhen secretly circulated his internal Origin Qi and quietly climbed the city wall. While everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Yan, the Yu Du in his body concealed his aura. Xu Zhen then rapidly gathered power in his palm, and a pitch-black curtain quietly condensed in the void in front of him.
