"Bang!"
Above the sky, two beams of light, one of ice and one of fire, collided with a deafening roar before instantly separating. As the light dissipated, two figures emerged from it, none other than Xiao Yan and Fang Xun.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's robes were slightly torn, and his originally soaring aura seemed somewhat subdued. However, even so, it could not conceal the soaring fighting spirit in his eyes!
Fang Xun truly lives up to his title of Seven-Star Half-Emperor. With Xiao Yan's current strength, if he didn't use those methods and fought him head-on, to be honest, Xiao Yan really wouldn't be his match.
Over the course of half a day, Xiao Yan and Fang Xun exchanged countless blows, but ever since that initial attack, Fang Xun had become increasingly formidable, completely suppressing Xiao Yan with every move.
If it weren't for Xiao Yan's protection by Heavenly Flames and his Dou Technique of the Human Class Heavenly Severing Steps, he would probably have already been defeated by Fang Xun Xiao Yan's fierce attacks.
At this moment, although Xiao Yan was unwilling, he had to admit that the Seven-Star Half-Emperor was truly extraordinary. Such strength was definitely not comparable to someone like Li Gan.
However, while Xiao Yan felt pressured, Fang Xun was even more shocked!
With the strength of Three-Star Half-Emperor, he was able to fight against a Seven-Star Half-Emperor for so long without being defeated. Such a feat would be unbelievable if it were placed anywhere else!
It should be noted that as Seven-Star Half-Emperor, one has already transcended the boundaries of Six-Star Half-Emperor and can truly be considered a High-Level Half-Emperor. With such strength, even high-level magical beasts at the Half-Emperor level are unwilling to provoke him easily.
But Xiao Yan in front of us actually possesses such abilities, how can one not be deeply shocked!
Although Fang Xun had been suppressing Xiao Yan in the previous battle, he knew better than anyone that he hadn't gained the slightest advantage. Xiao Yan's agility was so sharp that if he were even a star stronger, it wouldn't be anyone else who would be suppressed.
Moreover, the Heavenly Flames emanating from Xiao Yan had a strong suppressive effect on his Ice Dou Qi. No matter how many times he attacked, he was always forced to retreat just before he could injure Xiao Yan because of the terrifying Heavenly Flames.
This is also what Fang Xun fears most about Xiao Yan.
If Xiao Yan hadn't been protected by Heavenly Flames, even with his fast movement, Fang Xun was confident he could have taken him down. It's just a pity that if he knew Xiao Yan wasn't using his full movement technique at the moment, what would he think?
Fang Xun stared at Xiao Yan with his icy blue eyes, his eyes slightly narrowed, then he clasped his hands in a fist salute and smiled at Xiao Yan:
" Yan Xiao is truly a genius of unparalleled talent. No wonder even an old geezer like Li Gan couldn't gain the slightest advantage from you. Li Gan's defeat was well-deserved!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally and also clasped his hands in a fist Fang Xun, saying with a smile:
" Fang Xun is also quite remarkable. His strength as a Seven-Star Half-Emperor is truly something that commands respect and prevents us from underestimating him in the slightest."
"Heh, since I alone cannot defeat you with overwhelming force, then I must forgive my unfairness..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Xun turned his gaze to Wang Qi, who had been watching the battle from afar, and said with a smile:
"Brother Wang Qi, after watching for so long, you should know Yan Xiao's capabilities. I alone am truly no match for him. Let's attack together and finish this quickly so we can return and report back."
Wang Qi, whose face bore a scar, showed a slight change in expression upon hearing Fang Xun's words. He had witnessed the entire battle between the two and was now extremely surprised by Xiao Yan's true strength. However, he never expected that in the end, Fang Xun would have to ask him to take action.
Wang Qi's angry eyes instantly turned to Xiao Yan, his eyes surging with raging flames that transformed into a furious lion, opening its blood-red maw towards Xiao Yan.
"Your Heavenly Flames is very strong, but my fire is not afraid of you!"
At this point, Xiao Yan knew that if the two of them really fought, it would no longer be a simple contest like before, but a true battle. Either Xiao Yan would die, or the two of them would be destroyed; there was only one path to choose.
Upon hearing Wang Qi's words, Xiao Yan smiled again and said:
"Perfect! I've never lost a fight when it comes to fire. Today, I'll have a good battle with you, a Seven-Star Half-Emperor!"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, a terrifying Heavenly Flames suddenly erupted from every pore of Xiao Yan body, instantly transforming Xiao Yan into a dazzling figure of fire.
At the same time, a surge of heat rapidly spread from Xiao Yan's body, and the icy aura surrounding Fang Xun shrank again. Fang Xun's expression changed once more, and his gaze towards Xiao Yan was filled with even greater shock.
"This Yan Xiao actually hid its strength!"
However, Wang Qi seemed oblivious to all of this. His body, as strong as a lion, suddenly trembled, and an extremely hot and domineering flame surged out, enveloping his entire body. The surging flame also condensed into a ferocious and domineering lion's head on his face, looking awe-inspiring.
Seeing this, Fang Xun had no choice but to quickly raise his battle Dou Qi, and the scorching air around him was once again replaced by a terrifying icy aura.
"Full Domain Activation, Extreme Cold Domain!"
"Full Domain Activation, Lion Flame Domain!"
Two sharp shouts suddenly came from Fang Xun and Wang Qi's mouths. At the same time, a beam of light flashed from beneath their feet and quickly spread across the entire sky. Xiao Yan was just about to be enveloped by that domain.
When the two domains collided, Xiao Yan discovered that the power of the ice and fire domains was actually merging together in an extremely strange way, just like the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Although its power was far inferior, the new domain formed by the fusion of the two domains was even more powerful than the original!
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. These two people were quite capable, actually managing to merge two completely opposite domains together. They truly lived up to their shared origins.
However, Xiao Yan chuckled softly to himself, glanced at the fusion domain that had encompassed him with a strange look in his eyes, and slowly uttered a sentence.
" Domain of Flame, open!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if it were a decree from the heavens. A terrifying wave of Heavenly Flames suddenly spread out from Xiao Yan as fast as lightning. The Ice Domain and the Lion Flame Domain were completely submerged in a short moment. All that remained in the sky was the terrifying Heavenly Flames that was burning fiercely.
Fang Xun frowned deeply. They hadn't expected Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames to be so powerful, able to disregard their fused domain as if it were nothing. It seemed that their plan to suppress Xiao Yan using their domain was absolutely impossible.
Fang Xun and Wang Qi exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. Then, in a flash, they charged towards Xiao Yan together.
"Drink! Extreme Cold Ice Soul!"
Suddenly, Fang Xun let out a loud shout, then clenched his right palm, and the Ice Dou Qi in his body rapidly condensed. In just a few breaths, it condensed into an icy dragon head, which forcefully enveloped his clenched hand.
At the same time, Wang Qi on the other side suddenly let out a thunderous roar, and the lifelike angry lion on his face suddenly burst forth, transforming into a complete lion's head, charging angrily towards Xiao Yan.
But then, Wang Qi suddenly threw a punch with his left fist, which slammed into the lion's head. Then, he stomped his foot on the air and charged towards Xiao Yan again.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Xun and Wang Qi approached each other at lightning speed, and then the dragon and the lion were fiercely clashed together.
" Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast!"
The next instant, a roar that was neither dragon nor lion came from between the two, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The space around the two was instantly shattered by the violent roar, and a huge, strangely shaped magical beast slowly stepped out from the void above their heads.
This magical beast was extremely large. Judging by sight alone, nearly half of Xiao Yan's Domain of Flame was probably covered by its body. Moreover, its body was similar to the fused domain of Fang Xun and Wang Qi, with intense heat mixed with extremely cold temperatures.
"Roar!"
With a deafening roar, the enormous beast, following the simultaneous command of Fang Xun Wang Qi, charged fiercely towards Xiao Yan with Holding Up the Heavens power. Wherever it passed, the Void Space collapsed, and beneath its feet, there was a step of ice and a step of molten fire. It looked like a giant god, with extraordinary momentum!
A magical beast that perfectly combined two inherently contradictory attributes, extreme heat and extreme cold, was something even Xiao Yan found amazing. Truly, there are countless wonders in this world!
Of course, although this giant beast was powerful, it seemed much easier for Xiao Yan to deal with at this moment.
If Fang Xun had separated to deal with Xiao Yan, he might have felt some pressure. However, the two of them were using this combined Dou Technique repeatedly, fusing ice and fire together. As a result, Xiao Yan no longer posed any threat whatsoever.
Although he saw the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast charging towards him, Xiao Yan seemed to have no intention of dodging at all. Instead, he looked at the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast calmly, as if the beast had no killing power whatsoever.
This seemed to enrage the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast. Its already overwhelming aura soared to the heavens under Xiao Yan's indifferent gaze, letting out a kingly roar that caused all the magical beasts within a radius of ten thousand miles to instantly prostrate themselves on the ground, their bodies going limp and unable to even tremble in fear. This demonstrated just how terrifying the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast's power was!
In the blink of an eye, the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast was already in front of Xiao Yan, its gaping maw poised to swallow him whole. If it were to swallow him whole, even Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his current state would likely suffer severe injuries.
Just as the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast's gaping maw had enveloped Xiao Yan's head in darkness, a ball of eerie white flame suddenly ignited on Xiao Yan's body.
As the eerie white flames ignited, the massive, mountain-like body of the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast suddenly froze in place.
Immediately, Fang Xun and Wang Qi watched in astonishment as a thin layer of ice rapidly spread from the mouth of the Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast, enveloping its entire body. The Ice Crystal Yan Shi Beast, which had been so majestic just moments before, was instantly transformed into an ice sculpture...
At that moment, Fang Xun and Wang Qi were instantly petrified...
