The sweltering air was thick with moisture, and tiny water droplets condensed as Bai Zijing drew his bow, eventually transforming into sharp arrows. Judging from their cold, sharp edge, they were in no way inferior to the arrow from before.
"Call..."
Behind the Northern King, Xiao Yan slowly stepped aside. After a moment's wait, he finally had a chance to catch his breath. At least, leaving this place wouldn't be difficult.
"Are they preparing for a last-ditch counterattack?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's sharp gaze again, Bai Zijing's sinister smile deepened. Even if he drained all of Xiao Yan's life essence, he wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.
Extending a bloodstained hand, Xiao Yan stared intently at Bai Zijing and grinned.
"Bang..."
Suddenly, a flame ignited in Xiao Yan's palm, and Bai Zijing's expression finally changed at this moment.
"This is... Heavenly Flames?"
As Bai Zijing's surprised voice fell, Xiao Yan clenched his fist heavily, and the raging flames in his palm immediately scattered and flew away. As the flames dissipated, the arrows that had just condensed in the surrounding world strangely twisted and evaporated, and in just a few breaths, they all disappeared.
"This territory isn't yours to claim."
Xiao Yan scoffed, and at the same time, a dark tent gradually took shape behind him, while the little bit of Origin Qi that had just recovered in his body was rapidly dissipating...
This sentence made Bai Zijing's face turn extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but laugh angrily, saying:
"I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows shot out. This time, however, they were shattered by Xiao Yan's Heavy Xuan Ruler. Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Zijing rose up and arrived in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye. As he moved, the Northern King leaped up beside him.
"Get out of here!"
Bai Zijing was completely unafraid. He turned around and kicked the Northern King away, then swung his hand and struck Xiao Yan with a palm strike.
" Nether Water Seal!"
As the palm print struck, Xiao Yan quickly stored the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his Storage Ring. As he retreated, he met the attack with a powerful palm strike of his own.
" Mountain and River Seal!"
The two palms collided, and Xiao Yan was unsurprisingly knocked back. Bai Zijing also stopped in his tracks due to the impact of the palm strike. After the aftershocks of the palm strike dissipated, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly disappeared from sight. Looking around, Bai Zijing immediately saw a dark shadow in the distance, which was none other than Xiao Yan.
How could that be?
Seeing that Xiao Yan was able to escape his sight and flee, Bai Zijing was surprised and chased after him again, but the Northern King, who had been blasted away, stuck to him like a leech.
"You noisy thing!"
" Reverse Water Bind!"
After several rounds of entanglement, Bai Zijing became increasingly irritable. Xiao Yan, who was only seriously injured, would have died at his hands long ago if it weren't for this damned puppet's repeated obstruction. Why would he be in this predicament? Enraged, he unleashed a torrent of water between his palms, instantly forming a huge water prison. With each opening and closing of his palms, he trapped the Northern King within.
After doing all this, Bai Zijing frowned and looked in Xiao Yan's direction, only to find that the latter was still in that high place and had not fled far away. He was surprised, and then glanced at the Northern King who was constantly struggling in the water prison, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"With life and death at stake, you're still clinging to your puppet form? You truly have no sense of mortality!"
With a furious stomp of his foot, Bai Zijing instantly appeared high in the sky. At this moment, Xiao Yan seemed to have just come to his senses. As Bai Zijing closed in, he hurriedly used the dark curtain that had gathered beside him to escape again.
"Laugh..."
The moment the dark tent disappeared, a sharp arrow pierced the air, only to land on the crimson earth below. Bai Zijing couldn't help but show surprise again.
"This is... the Great Dao of the Void? How is this possible? Isn't what this kid has comprehended the Great Dao of Fire?"
No wonder Bai Zijing was so shocked. Who would have thought that a kid known for cultivating flames would comprehend the Power of the Great Dao, which is almost completely unrelated to this?
It's important to understand that the Power of the Great Dao has a revolutionary effect on one's cultivation attributes. Even two people with the same attributes will have different levels of power unleashed by their Origin Qi if they comprehend the Power of the Great Dao differently. Of course, people like Xiao Yan, who can maximize their attribute power with their Heavenly Flames, are a different story.
As a power of heaven and earth, Heavenly Flames possesses power equal to that of the Power of the Great Dao, and in some respects, it could even be said to surpass it.
"Boy, so what if you possess the Great Dao of the Void? With your current crippled body, how many times can you dodge my arrows?"
Bai Zijing's face was ashen. He roared angrily, but Xiao Yan in the distance paid no attention to him. He just focused all his efforts on condensing the Great Dao of the Void until the arrow came, at which point he once again leaped away to escape.
In this chase, within a short time, Xiao Yan and Bai Zijing had both fled to the ends of the earth, and it wasn't until then...
"Coo coo coo..."
The scalding magma suddenly churned, until ripples like splashes of water erupted on its surface. A figure with an extremely pale face then landed on the ground once more. As the view drew closer, it was none other than Xiao Yan!
Without a doubt, since Xiao Yan is here, the one who chased and fled with Bai Zijing to the ends of the earth was naturally his avatar.
"Phew... that was close. Luckily, the lava can isolate one's aura, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to escape."
With a sullen sigh, Xiao Yan grinned and then leaped to the water prison in the sky. Using his remaining strength, he summoned Heavenly Flames, which gradually spread out to form a huge fire net that completely enveloped the water prison. Then, he controlled the Northern King within the net to work together with the fire net, finally breaking the water prison in one strike.
Meanwhile, under Bai Zijing's pursuit, Xiao Yan's dodging became increasingly difficult. The cunning arrows streaked through the air like lightning, and even the Power of the Great Dao was mercilessly shattered by these arrows.
"Laugh!"
With a sharp whooshing sound, Bai Zijing appeared in front of ' Xiao Yan ' like a ghost. The two looked at each other, Bai Zijing's eyes were like a wolf's, and his smile was full of endless killing intent.
"Now, is it still possible to escape?"
The latter remained silent, exerting all his strength to draw out the fire ruler, intending to repel the person before him.
Bai Zijing sneered and lunged forward without flinching. The instant the giant fiery ruler formed, he used his Origin Qi to protect himself, grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist tightly with one hand, and twisted it violently, easily breaking the wrist!
As the flames subsided, an arrow materialized in his other hand, which he aimed at the chest and pressed down hard!
Die!
A sharp, resentful cry roared across the sky, and an arrow pierced Xiao Yan's chest, but...
The arrow piercing his chest remained sharp, but what froze Bai Zijing's expression was that the body of ' Xiao Yan ' before him was gradually becoming illusory after this attack.
In that instant, Bai Zijing felt as if struck by lightning. He forced himself to endure the tearing pain in his heart and looked up. At this moment, on the illusory face of ' Xiao Yan ', there was a mocking smile.
"Brother Bai, we'll meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the body that Bai Zijing had been suppressing vanished, and all his efforts came to naught.
Under the blazing sun and a clear sky, Bai Zijing stood motionless in the void, his face shifting between pale and flushed, his slightly trembling body revealing the emotions within him.
"Pfft!"
Finally, at a certain moment, blood, flowing freely in extreme rage, poured down like rain, followed by a fierce and ruthless roar that soared to the sky.
" Xiao Yan!"
