Across the vast red plains, a yellow wind swept across, filling the air with a desolate atmosphere, and faintly, a hint of blood.
"Laugh!"
In mid-air, several whooshing sounds rang out one after another as four figures converged from different directions, eventually forming an encirclement. After these four, another sharp gust of wind rang out, and a fifth person rushed forward from their encirclement and landed. As he looked up, his mocking gaze fell on the red-haired man and woman opposite him.
At this moment, both of them had large and small wounds on their bodies, and their aura had been reduced by more than half. They were clearly at their last gasp. Now, facing the encirclement of this group, they were filled with anxiety, but also with resentment and anger in their eyes.
"Haha, at this point, you still want to run? You might as well surrender obediently, saving this young master from having to expend any more effort."
The young man looked at the two people in front of him with a relaxed expression. His slightly slanted gaze slowly swept over the girl's delicate body. Then, he flashed and appeared in front of the girl in an instant, raising his hand to grab her face.
"You bastard, stop right there!"
It wasn't until the young man made his move that the man beside him realized what was happening. He hurriedly mobilized the little remaining Origin Qi in his body and blasted at the young man with all his might. However, the young man's methods were even more ruthless. Almost the instant the man made his move, a fair hand grabbed his throat and then casually threw him. The man's body was thrown dozens of feet away like a broken sack, crashing heavily to the ground.
At the same time, the young man held the girl's delicate face firmly in his hand and said slowly:
"I never expected that there would still be remnants of the Fire Banyan Clan in this desolate Flowing Fire Plain. What I didn't expect even more was that there would be such a young girl among the Fire Banyan Clan. Taking her back as a slave wouldn't be a bad choice."
The young man casually lifted the girl up, his gaze sweeping over her without a trace of pity, as if he were examining an object.
On a distant mountain peak, Xiao Yan gazed at the scene below, a look of astonishment flashing across his eyes, before he coldly said:
"I didn't expect you to come too... Bai Ruoxuan!"
The young man who was lifting the girl up at that moment was none other than Bai Ruoxuan, the younger brother of Bai Zijing, who had tried to snatch the Heavy Xuan Ruler from her, and also the heir of the Bai Clan in the Central Region!
"But since he's here too, then..."
Upon seeing Bai Ruoxuan, Xiao Yan was surprised and couldn't help but frown. After all, there was a Yuan Zun Venerable who was always by Bai Ruoxuan's side, protecting him.
"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"
Almost at the same time that Xiao Yan discovered Bai Ruoxuan, the man who had been easily thrown away by the latter a moment ago rushed forward again, draining every last bit of his Origin Qi, and instantly appeared behind him. He clenched his fists and smashed them down hard on Bai Ruoxuan's head with all his might!
However, faced with this imminent killing intent, the latter not only did not dodge or evade, but also showed no intention of making a move. He looked at the girl in his hand with a mocking expression. Just as the man's fist was about to fall behind him, a white light flashed in the air, and in an instant, a figure appeared behind Bai Ruoxuan like a ghost. With a flick of his sleeve, he slammed the man away.
And the person who came was none other than Bai Rong, Bai Ruoxuan's guardian and a powerful expert at the Yuan Zun level!
Bai Rong casually knocked the attacking man away, then turned to Bai Ruoxuan and respectfully said:
"Young Master, our primary objective here is to rescue the Eldest Young Master, but he is currently alone deep in the plains. If we linger any longer, we risk danger!"
"Hehe, it's alright. Brother's methods are extraordinary, and this isn't the first time he's ventured into the Flowing Fire Plain. We have plenty of time. It doesn't matter if we take it slow. Besides, we've captured two descendants of the Fire Banyan Clan. Bringing them back to the clan will be a significant achievement."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxuan smiled casually, tossed the girl in his palm to a Yuan Zong not far away, and said indifferently:
"Take good care of these two, preferably bringing them back alive. They've survived so long on the Flowing Fire Plain, they must be very familiar with the Fire Banyan Ruins. They might even help our clan obtain the Fire Banyan Clan's treasures that they've never seen before. At that time, all the so-called three major clans will have to be led by our Bai Clan!"
After dealing with the man and woman, two Yuan Zong stepped forward and subdued one of them, preparing to tie them up. However, just as these two Yuan Zong experts were about to make their move, the void beside them suddenly twisted strangely, then transformed into two pitch-black curtains. In a flash, the two Fire Banyan Clan were snatched away right before their eyes.
"Who do you think you are, you scoundrel!"
Almost simultaneously, Bai Rong, who was standing next to Bai Ruoxuan, suddenly turned sharp with his old eyes. With a flash, he appeared in the sky. At the same time, an invisible curtain suddenly appeared in the void opposite him. Then, Xiao Yan appeared in front of Bai Rong, carrying the pair of the Fire Banyan Clan.
"It's you!"
Upon recognizing the figure in black opposite him, Bai Rong did not hesitate to step forward and, as his Origin Qi surged from his palm, he slammed his palm down hard on Xiao Yan's face!
Xiao Yan, who had just appeared, naturally dared not be careless. Moreover, he was carrying the unconscious Fire Banyan Clan man and woman in his arms, which made him feel even more solemn. Almost subconsciously, he mobilized the Great Dao of the Void, leaning back to dodge Bai Rong's descending palm print. In a flash, he quickly appeared in the void a hundred feet away.
"The old man is getting on in years; it's best not to get angry so easily."
Looking at Bai Rong, whose face was gloomy in the distant void, Xiao Yan smiled coldly and mocked.
" Xiao Yan, it was you!"
At this moment, Bai Ruoxuan on the ground also recognized the newcomer. His face immediately hardened with a sinister expression, and he coldly sneered:
"I only refrained from dealing with you back then because of the Ouyang Clan's reputation. Now you actually dare to show your face in front of me? You're truly courting death!"
"If you're willing to fight one-on-one, I wouldn't mind giving you that opportunity!"
Xiao Yan's gaze swept quickly over Bai Rong and the several Yuan Zong below. Origin Qi in his palm flowed rapidly through the meridians of the two Fire Banyan Clan. Then, as if he had discovered something, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, a one-on-one fight? Fine... Elder Rong, finish him off!"
A voice filled with murderous intent rang out, and Bai Rong in the sky immediately gave a chilling smile, his old eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and he sneered:
"With pleasure!"
