" Light of the Solar Corona!"
A dazzling light shone throughout the entire world, and terrifying energy fluctuations burst outward from within the golden light. As Xiao Yan swung his seven-foot sword, Bai Ruoxuan's Black Jade Ruler also slashed down fiercely at that moment!
A dazzling golden light shot out from the giant ruler, swelling against the wind and instantly transforming into a hundred-foot-long streak of light, slashing down towards Xiao Yan with the force of splitting the sky. Almost simultaneously, the seven beams of light that had shot out from the Heavy Xuan Ruler merged into one, their flames surging, forming a magnificent sail that stood between heaven and earth, fiercely meeting the oncoming golden light from below!
In the next instant, a tremendous aura erupted from the point of collision like a volcanic eruption, and the surrounding ground and buildings cracked with a series of cracking sounds before being completely destroyed with a bang.
The invisible void cracked open with long, thin, dark fissures under the clash of these two terrifying energies. A surging wave of energy filled the sky. Although Xiao Yan was only seven feet tall, the power of those seven feet far surpassed that of the past. Now, the Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler had transformed into a nine-foot ruler. Even without using his full strength, Xiao Yan was confident that he could completely withstand Bai Ruoxuan's attack.
"Bang!"
A deafening explosion suddenly resounded, completely destroying the battle circle where the two were located. The ground below was shattered into countless fragments that scattered in all directions. The terrifying ripples of energy from the punch also spread rapidly outwards. Even Ouyang Miao and the others outside the battle circle, as well as the two Eight-Star Yuan Zong elders, involuntarily retreated dozens of steps. They then hurriedly mobilized their Origin Qi to completely seal off the battle circle where the two were located.
On the other side, Bai Rong's gloomy old eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, whose body remained motionless on the field. A murderous intent surged deep in his eyes, and the Origin Qi within his body quietly circulated to his palms...
"Whoosh!"
In the midst of the battle, the energy storm had not yet dissipated. Just as everyone was getting anxious, a fierce whooshing sound suddenly rang out from within. Almost simultaneously, Bai Rong's body outside the battle circle trembled, leaving only a gradually blurring afterimage in place. His body had already appeared beside Bai Ruoxuan, about to raise his hand and strike forward with a palm. However, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and as he twisted his body, he actually struck out fiercely with a palm towards the void on the other side.
"Bang!"
In the invisible void, two thin palms collided, and energy ripples spread out like a hurricane. While sweeping away the surrounding energy aftershocks, the deep sound of another fist landing on a body also reached Bai Rong's ears. Then, everyone present clearly saw a white figure fly out of the battle circle like a kite with a broken string, and then land heavily on the ground. After flying dozens of meters, it slowly stabilized. Upon closer inspection, this person was undoubtedly Bai Ruoxuan.
Meanwhile, in the void above, three figures stood in different directions. Xiao Yan stood in the middle, while the other two were old men, facing each other. Their eyes were all fixed on Xiao Yan in the center of the arena. Bai Rong, in particular, had a gloomy expression on his old face. He hadn't expected that someone would actually take action for Xiao Yan, and judging from the other party's aura just now, their cultivation level was probably no less than his own.
"Damn it..."
Turning his head to glance at Bai Ruoxuan, who was now lying unconscious amidst the ruins, Bai Rong's old face was extremely ugly. Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and laughed angrily:
"I didn't expect you to have an accomplice!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and turn to look at the other side. At this moment, an old man dressed in a purple robe with a face full of wrinkles was also standing in the void. However, judging from his murderous expression, Xiao Yan did not think that this guy would be his helper.
"Hmph, a helper? If you hadn't intervened, this brat would already be a dead soul under my grasp!"
Immediately afterward, the old man in the purple robe uttered a hoarse and sinister snort. Upon hearing this, Bai Rong's expression faltered slightly. Judging from the old man's tone, he seemed to be there to kill Xiao Yan as well. The sudden turn of events had caused him to misunderstand the old man's intentions. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze shifting from Xiao Yan to the purple-robed old man. He raised his hand, lightly clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said with a faint smile:
"It turns out it was a misunderstanding. I was overthinking it. In that case, please make yourself at home!"
After speaking, Bai Rong quickly descended to Bai Ruoxuan's side. The two Eight-Star Yuan Zong had already given him pills, which temporarily stabilized his injuries. However, when Bai Rong saw the deep, scarlet fist mark on the latter's chest, his killing intent intensified. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan, who had a solemn expression in the sky. If Bai Ruoxuan's injuries were not too severe at the moment, he would probably have personally attacked him.
Looking back at the void above, the purple-robed elder who had suddenly appeared was staring at Xiao Yan with murderous intent, his powerful aura surging around him, which was quite astonishing.
"Where did you get such a powerful person from?"
Ouyang Miao flashed and appeared beside Xiao Yan. He knew the Bai Clan fairly well, but he had never seen the purple-robed man in front of him before, so he naturally did not dare to speak rashly.
"I've never seen him before."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and explained in a deep voice.
The former frowned in surprise upon hearing this, but at that moment, the purple-robed man spoke again, his hoarse voice echoing throughout the world like invisible blades.
"You don't recognize me, but you should remember Xie Shan!"
As soon as the words "Xie Shan " were uttered, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly swept out from the old man's body, instantly enveloping Xiao Yan and his companion.
" Xie Shan..."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, then suddenly looked up and exclaimed in surprise:
"You are a member of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast clan!"
"I am Xie Shan's father. You killed Xie Shan in the Southern Region, did you really think no one would know? Today, I will use your blood to atone for my dead son!"
With a thunderous roar, the purple-robed elder's body trembled violently, and his figure instantly transformed into a purple streak of light. Under the increasingly serious gazes of Ouyang Miao and the others, he shot directly towards Xiao Yan in the sky, his sharp roar shaking the heavens!
At this moment, the white Formation Plate tightly held in Xiao Yan's hand immediately emitted a burst of golden light, and then he threw it into the air. As the array was activated, Spirit Stone flew out from Xiao Yan's Storage Ring.
