As the crowd dispersed, the main stage naturally fell to Xiao Yan and Bai Ruoxuan, who were now gazing at each other.
At this moment, the two men each held a giant ruler, one black and one white, as if they were born to be adversaries.
Seeing that Xiao Yan showed no fear whatsoever, Bai Ruoxuan was slightly taken aback, his eyes showing a hint of surprise at the former's composure. However, relying on his own formidable cultivation, he did not feel any worry whatsoever.
He wanted to make Xiao Yan, who was dressed in black robes and holding Black Ruler, understand that in the face of sufficient strength, mere willpower could not create any miracles!
"Boy, I admire your spirit, but if you really dare to fight me, in the end you'll only humiliate yourself."
As the heir of the Bai Clan, one of the three major clans in the Central Region, Bai Ruoxuan also possessed his arrogance. Among the younger generation in the Central Region, there were only a handful who could rival him. Naturally, he had no fear when facing an unknown youth.
Xiao Yan ignored Bai Ruoxuan's sneer. As his eyes flashed with a sharp light, the flames on the giant ruler in his hand surged even more violently. With a thought, Origin Qi from his body flowed into the giant ruler in his hand. Beneath the flames, the grooves on the giant ruler were filled with scarlet firelight, flowing and becoming as hot as rolling magma.
Seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Bai Ruoxuan also sneered. With a tremor of his arm, the white Black Jade Ruler in his palm trembled, and the vast golden Origin Qi flowed on it, causing the surrounding void to distort and fluctuate.
"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With a cold shout, Bai Ruoxuan stomped his foot heavily on the ground, his figure shooting forward like a cannonball. The white giant ruler in his hand, surrounded by golden light, drew a dazzling light in the void. In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared directly in front of Xiao Yan, and the distance between the two was less than a zhang.
"So noisy..."
With a detached gaze, Xiao Yan watched Bai Ruoxuan approach, glancing at the powerful gust of wind emanating from the Black Jade Ruler. He calmly shook his head, letting the giant ruler sweep across, merely shifting half a step to the right. In the next instant, the fierce attack suddenly swept past, but shockingly, the giant ruler, surrounded by Xiao Yan light, grazed right past Xiao Yan's sleeve, creating only a gust of wind without actually touching it!
"Wow, that's fast!"
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Miao's expression changed instantly, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Even the two Eight-Star Yuan Zong and Bai Rong couldn't help but frown. Although Xiao Yan's movements just now seemed slow, compared to Bai Ruoxuan's swift attack, they were undoubtedly several times faster. In that short distance, to be able to dodge Bai Ruoxuan's attack so accurately was simply a coincidence; no one would believe it.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had dodged his attack so easily, Bai Ruoxuan was also surprised. His heart sank, and almost as he passed Xiao Yan, he suddenly swung his arm and raised the Black Jade Ruler. The giant ruler suddenly turned, and Bai Ruoxuan twisted his body in mid-air, swinging the ruler horizontally at Xiao Yan again.
Sensing the sound of wind breaking behind him, Xiao Yan's expression hardened. Without moving an inch, he swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler straight back without turning his head. Immediately afterward, the two giant rulers collided heavily.
"This is the first foot."
As the giant ruler swung backward, Xiao Yan's indifferent voice also reached Bai Ruoxuan's ears. But before the latter could hear it clearly, the two giant rulers had already collided!
"Clang!"
The moment the two collided, a deafening clang of metal against metal resounded, and an invisible wave of energy swept outwards. The golden light on the Black Jade Ruler also erupted with a powerful energy fluctuation, fiercely impacting the Xuan Heavy Xuan Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand.
Faced with such a powerful energy impact, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, the giant ruler enveloped in flames trembled. Then, in the next moment, a ruler beam, as swift as a startled swan, suddenly shot up from the Heavy Xuan Ruler, colliding with the energy on the Black Jade Ruler. Afterward, it exploded!
"Bang!"
As the explosion rang out, a storm swept through, but Xiao Yan remained unmoved. Bai Ruoxuan, on the other hand, did not retreat but advanced. With a cold glint in his eyes, he charged straight into the center of the storm, letting out a roar. Golden light flashed on the giant ruler, instantly condensing into a golden dragon. With a deep roar, it shot towards Xiao Yan!
Only then did Xiao Yan slowly turn around, his gaze calmly fixed on the white giant ruler that was crashing down. He showed no intention of dodging whatsoever. The giant ruler, wreathed in flames, pointed diagonally at the ground. As the flames rose, he suddenly swung the giant ruler, and a magnificent beam of light shot out!
"The second foot!"
The heavy ruler, carrying a sharp edge, slashed fiercely through the void before colliding violently with the golden dragon, sparks flying everywhere!
The two collided, and both figures were forced back several steps. Bai Ruoxuan's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yan could unleash such powerful energy, making it impossible for even Bai Ruoxuan to win in one strike.
"Kid, I let you get away with this one by luck. I was careless this time, but let's see how you manage to withstand this next attack!"
With a furious laugh, Bai Ruoxuan moved, leaving a blur in place. When he reappeared, he was already not far from Xiao Yan, his hands gripping the ruler's handle tightly. He continuously poured his Origin Qi into it, causing golden light to burst forth from it, resembling a small sun.
" Light of the Solar Corona!"
In just a few breaths, the originally white giant ruler was filled with a holy golden radiance. The dazzling light illuminated the street, making it difficult to even distinguish the surrounding world. Powerful and terrifying energy emanated from it.
"Is this... Intent Class Dou Technique...?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming increasingly sharp. He tightened his grip on the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and then, the moment he looked up, the giant ruler in his hand cleaved down from above!
Three feet!
As the light shot out, Xiao Yan did not pause at all, but continued to slash until he had swung the ninth foot before stopping. Almost at the same time, Bai Rong, who was outside the arena, could not help but change his expression. As he took a light step forward, the Origin Qi in his body also began to circulate.
