"This can't go on..."
Xiao Yan quickly glanced around at the formation that was still forming. His brows furrowed and his teeth clenched. Xiao Xuan's formation was not yet complete, and time was running out. In addition, there was the beast's amazing recovery ability. If things continued like this, even if the formation was completed, it would still take a lot of time to suppress the beast. He was afraid that it would be too late.
Just as Xiao Yan's thoughts were racing, the monster opposite him roared once again. Its left arm, which had been destroyed a moment ago, had now been restored. With a twist of its body, it let out a fierce roar towards Xiao Yan's location. Then, its entire body charged forward like a rhinoceros, crashing into Xiao Yan.
With his eyes fixed on the charging monster, Xiao Yan's expression grew increasingly solemn. When the distance between them was less than ten feet, Xiao Yan made up his mind. With a wave of his hand, the Northern King's figure immediately charged forward, while Xiao Yan gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler tightly with both hands. With a thought, raging flames instantly covered it.
"Since I can't destroy you, I'll make sure you never have a chance to recover!"
The surging Origin Qi continuously gathered on the giant ruler, and a terrifying aura gradually emanated from it.
In the darkness, several gazes turned to Xiao Yan, noticing the astonishing energy contained within the giant ruler. A hint of surprise flickered in those gazes.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler!"
As Xiao Yan slowly uttered his words, a series of tremors echoed throughout the heavens and earth, as if even the entire world was responding to them.
The light from the array beneath their feet grew ever brighter, and the surrounding pillars of light intertwined, converging above the center of the array to form an even more complex and enormous rune. A terrifying, oppressive aura gradually spread outwards.
As the formation was completed, the battle on the field suddenly began in the next moment!
"Bang!"
After several entanglements, the resilient body of the Northern King was finally blasted away by the monster. This time, the Northern King did not advance again. At the same time, the giant ruler covered in flames in Xiao Yan's hand suddenly swung out!
"One foot!"
A massive, imposing barrier, seemingly capable of splitting heaven and earth, stretched across the space. Wherever it passed, the invisible void collapsed, and the blazing light illuminated the entire area. Dozens of eyes in the distant darkness also shone with intense heat.
"Roar!"
The monster roared, its hands clasped together, and strangely merged into one, forming a bizarrely shaped black greatsword. Surging energy condensed above, and its powerful aura caused the void to tremble. Then, it slashed down with tremendous force, pouring out like a cleaving of the sky and earth, and then collided fiercely with the earth-shattering blade.
"Buzz!"
A resounding tremor rang out, and the dazzling light vanished in the blink of an eye. The collision on the field lasted only a moment, and then in the next instant, it transformed into a tremendous wave of energy, sweeping outwards from the point of impact.
"Activate the formation!"
At that moment, Xiao Xuan on the other side suddenly let out a sharp shout, and golden light flashed around the array. Golden beams of light connected with each other, and a solid array shield was formed in the blink of an eye, blocking all the sweeping energy.
At the same time, the great array hanging above the monster's head finally descended under Xiao Xuan's control, sending down a massive golden pillar of light that enveloped the monster and sealed it completely. An extremely terrifying pressure also descended upon the monster's head.
With the suppression of this force, the beast's power will be reduced by more than half!
" Xiao Yan, it's up to you now!"
Xiao Xuan shouted loudly at Xiao Yan, who nodded heavily and leaped into the circle of light array, holding the giant ruler. Next, as long as Xiao Yan could completely suppress the power on its body and add the Pill Transformation Ring, he would be able to completely control the beast's true form!
"Call..."
Xiao Yan, who was in the middle of the formation, slowly exhaled, raised his eyes, and stared at the monster in the field that was making low growls. Holding the giant ruler, he changed his footwork and instantly used the Heavenly Severing Steps. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the monster and swung the giant ruler in his hand with all his might, bombarding the latter's body.
"Two, three, four, five, six... seven feet!"
"Break!"
With a deep, furious roar, Xiao Yan's forehead veins bulged, and his hands, gripping the giant ruler tightly, turned bright red. When the seventh ruler was swung out fiercely, the earth-shattering ruler light not only severed the strange greatsword but also pierced straight through the monster's body.
"Bang!"
Nevertheless, the latter still slammed his body into Xiao Yan's chest, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood mist. Xiao Yan's face turned pale instantly. Without much hesitation, he retreated rapidly. Seeing that the latter's severed arms had grown back, he did not hesitate at all. His Origin Qi surged outwards without reservation. He stomped his retreating steps hard on the void, forcibly stabilizing his body, and then swung out a foot with his backhand!
" Flame Splitting Tsunami!"
As the blade flashed past, the monster's still-healing wounds were reopened, and it let out a painful howl. Xiao Yan, without any restraint, held the giant ruler and, enduring the pain within his body, swung the giant ruler continuously.
" Flame Splitting Tsunami! Flame Splitting Tsunami! Flame Splitting Tsunami..."
In an instant, Xiao Yan unleashed his technique a hundred times in succession. Every swing, each foot long, precisely struck the monster's wounds, giving it no chance to heal.
Until a certain moment...
"Laugh!"
Suddenly, a tremendous beam of energy shot out from the monster's mouth, destroying the oncoming ray of light and hurtling towards Xiao Yan behind it.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that this beast would still have a chance to fight back at this point. As he retreated rapidly, the beam of light shot out directly, piercing through the beam of light that enveloped the two of them. In the horrified gazes of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan, it pierced through a certain Formation Plate in the arena!
"Not good!"
With the Formation Plate destroyed, most of the terrifying pressure that had been looming over the monster's head was immediately relieved, and its power surged forth once more!
The situation on the field suddenly took another turn!
"Roar!"
An angry roar suddenly resounded, and terrifying energy surged out of the monster's body once again. In the distance, a ray of morning sunlight shone on Xiao Yan's face, bringing a chill to his heart.
"As expected... it's too late."
With a detached gaze, Xiao Yan looked at the monster before him, which was on the verge of erupting again, and uttered a faint sentence, but the next moment...
"Laugh!"
A whooshing sound rang out, and Bai Hua, looking extremely disheveled, once again soared into the sky. To the astonishment of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan, he grabbed the monster's body tightly, and his desperate roar immediately reached Xiao Yan's ears.
"Quickly, Pill Transformation Ring!"
" Bai Hua!"
This sudden scene made Xiao Yan instantly focus all his attention. He stared intently at Bai Hua, who was tightly embracing the monster. He never expected that Bai Hua would suddenly rush out again at this moment.
"Hurry! I can't hold him for long, you must take him down before then!"
With a desperate roar, Bai Hua's body suddenly surged with a milky-white light. All the remaining power within him poured out without reservation, forming a large net that tightly bound the monster to him, leaving it unmoved no matter how much it struggled or thrashed.
" Bai Hua..."
Xiao Yan's face was blank, his mind completely blank. He had already lost Xiao Yi Xian, and now, faced with this situation again, he didn't know what to do.
Bai Hua risked her life to suppress the monster so that it could stay in the Xiao Clan. However, compared to the latter, Xiao Yan cared more about Bai Hua.
"Buzzing..."
Within the light array, the void twisted, and several invisible sword blades condensed one after another, surrounding the monster. The sword energy emanating from them continuously suppressed the terrifying energy surging from the monster's body. Xiao Xuan's helpless voice also entered Xiao Yan's ears.
" Xiao Yan, make your move. You understand that he will never let go unless he dies. You can't let his efforts go to waste."
"Call..."
With a trembling breath, Xiao Yan's eyes reddened. He looked up and met Bai Hua's increasingly pale gaze for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes. He raised his hands and formed the hand seals as before, and the Pill Transformation Ring appeared...
"Bye now."
