In the instant the rock armor shattered, the expressions on everyone's faces froze, and then their gazes immediately turned fervent.
With the rock armor broken, the unchanging battle finally gained a bit of interest.
"You..."
Xiao Yang's eyes widened in fury, his ferocious anger undisguised. Xiao Yan ignored him and instantly closed in, his shoulder slamming heavily into Xiao Yang's chest. A low thud was heard, and Xiao Yang's body flew backward before crashing heavily onto the shattered battle platform.
Xiao Yan gently twisted his body, reached out and summoned the Heavy Xuan Ruler, which immediately fell into his hand. He uttered a disdainful word.
"Who do you think you are to ask me to admit defeat?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan walked slowly towards the latter. When he got close, he swung the giant ruler in his hand and then struck out heavily!
"Bang!"
With a low, loud bang, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yang actually managed to block the giant ruler that Xiao Yan had unleashed with a single palm strike.
He forcefully blocked Xiao Yan's attack with one hand, and the latter slowly stood up, his face now contorted with rage.
"Gah gah gah gah... You're the first among your generation to be able to shatter my armor. But do you really think that rock armor is all I have?"
With a mocking grin, Xiao Yang raised his hand to block the heavy ruler, then slammed it down again. Gray Origin Qi immediately condensed on his palm, and then, surprisingly, it forced Xiao Yan, who had stepped forward, back several steps.
"Call..."
"Now that things have come to this, let me show you my true strength!"
The moment the words fell, Xiao Yang's body suddenly trembled, and an astonishing aura several times stronger than before swept out from his body. Almost at the same time, his body shot forward, rocks quickly covering his arms, and he soared into the air, smashing a fist heavily down on Xiao Yan's head!
" Four-Star Yuan Zong?!"
Upon witnessing this sudden turn of events, everyone present changed their expressions. Those who had previously been defeated by Xiao Yang Xiao Yang understood why he was so confident in them. Among the younger generation of the entire family, only a handful of people could rival him in terms of strength.
However, neither Xiao Lei nor Xiao Feng showed much surprise at this. Even though Xiao Yang's strength exceeded their expectations, to think that he could defeat Xiao Yan based on this alone would be to underestimate the latter. Putting aside everything else, Xiao Lei and Xiao Feng themselves knew exactly how much strength they had exerted in their battle with Xiao Yan. The power of his Fire Lotus was not fully unleashed even at the very end. If Xiao Yan were to unleash his full power, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Even they were horrified by this person; how could Xiao Yang possibly be his match?
"Clang!"
With a swing of the giant ruler, Xiao Yan showed little surprise at the situation before him. As he twisted his body, raging flames suddenly appeared on the giant ruler in his hand, and he swept it out, knocking back the falling Xiao Yang.
"True strength? Do you really think that's all I'm capable of?"
The soft voice slowly uttered, and the instant Xiao Yang's figure stabilized, a figure flashed out from the void beside him. The giant ruler, enveloped in flames, slammed heavily down on Xiao Yang's head. As he sensed this terrifying aura, his emotions tightened instantly, and without the slightest hesitation, he punched the giant ruler.
"Clang!"
Unlike before, this time, when Xiao Yang's fist landed, the terrifying force of the giant ruler shattered the rock armor attached to his arm. As he was horrified and hastily retreated, Xiao Yan, wielding the heavy ruler, followed closely with his unpredictable movements. The two figures fought almost face to face. The massive ruler in Xiao Yan's hands did not appear cumbersome at all; instead, it was as flexible and unpredictable as a spear, making it extremely difficult for Xiao Yang to avoid danger no matter how he dodged.
The rock armor repeatedly condensed, but each time it was shattered by Xiao Yan's powerful blow before it could fully form. What was most infuriating was the raging flames attached to it, which climbed straight up his body like living creatures. Faced with the onslaught of the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yang dared not be careless in the slightest. He frantically poured out his Origin Qi, trying to extinguish the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames time and time again, only to be devoured by it again and again. In a short time, many areas of Xiao Yang's body became charred black, and even his face was not spared from the attack of the Heavenly Flames.
A dignified Four-Star Yuan Zong was chased so badly by a Three-Star Yuan Zong. Even his most prized rock armor could no longer withstand Xiao Yan's attacks, and it didn't even have a chance to take shape. Coupled with the Xiao Clan disciples cheering for him in the stands, Xiao Yang's anger intensified.
After trembling with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yang's eyes gradually turned bloodshot, his ferocious rage becoming increasingly prominent, until a certain moment...
"You bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"
A roar of anger rang out as Xiao Yang slammed his palm into the oncoming giant ruler. The powerful force of the blow sent Xiao Yan flying back dozens of steps.
Immediately after, Xiao Yan stopped walking and looked up, only to be surprised to find that Xiao Yang's face had suddenly turned a strange, blood-red color. Even between his teeth, there were traces of blood-red. Wherever his body was scorched by the Heavenly Flames, blood was gushing out, and the veins were bulging high, as if they were about to burst, which looked quite terrifying.
However, despite his changed appearance, Xiao Yang showed no fear whatsoever. On the contrary, the ferocity on his face intensified. He raised his head and gave Xiao Yan a ferocious smile. Xiao Yang's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"Gaa gaa gaa gaa... So what if I'm fast? So what if I have Heavenly Flames? I'm going to win this battle!"
"You've forced me to unleash ' Blood Fury,' so in this battle, I'll cripple you completely!"
As soon as the shout fell, Xiao Yang's body suddenly shot forward, and at the same time, a powerful aura that rivaled that of Six-Star Yuan Zong emanated from within the gas.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected this guy's secret technique to be so remarkable, but...
Seeing the blood flowing all over the latter's body, Xiao Yan finally shook his head slowly.
"This secret technique actually uses oneself as a drain on one's resources; it's utterly foolish."
