As Xiao Yan's gaze fell upon Bai Ruoxuan, the latter's extremely gloomy eyes also fixed intently on him.
"I didn't expect that even Elder Rong's intervention couldn't immediately defeat you, you damned bastard!"
Bai Ruoxuan's anger was about to burst forth, and his internal Origin Qi surged wildly. The words he uttered seemed to be forced out from between his teeth.
Landing beside the Fire Banyan Clan man and woman on the ground, Xiao Yan casually handed them a pill. Then, he turned his gaze back to Bai Ruoxuan, a cold smile playing on his lips. He beckoned with a hint of provocation and sneered:
"I'm worthless. If you want my life, why don't you come and take it yourself?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's contemptuous attitude, Bai Ruoxuan's anger intensified, and just as he was about to explode, Bai Rong, who was in the midst of the killing formation in the sky, suddenly roared:
"Young Master, leave this place quickly! This child is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you don't leave now, you may be in danger!"
As the shout fell, the other four Yuan Zong standing around Bai Ruoxuan quickly stepped forward to protect him, and admonitions rang in his ears. Bai Ruoxuan's expression grew increasingly grim.
" Elder Rong, do you really think that I, the young master, am inferior to a lowly brat? I have five Yuan Zong here; even if we just drag it out, we can wear him down!"
After a long pause, Bai Ruoxuan's deep, angry voice suddenly rang out. His pair of scarlet eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, and he shouted with murderous intent:
"Charge! Today, I, the young master, will grind this man to dust, and I will take back the Heavy Xuan Ruler and the Heavenly Flames he possesses, with interest!"
With a roar of fury, Bai Ruoxuan ignored the four people beside him and charged straight at Xiao Yan. Although the others wanted to stop him, the young master was, after all, a powerful expert from the Yuan Zong Sect. After hesitating for a few moments, they followed closely behind and charged at Xiao Yan!
As for Bai Rong, who was in the sky within the great formation, despite his anger, he had no choice but to do his best to defend against the formation's attacks, hoping that these people could successfully kill Xiao Yan.
"Call..."
On the ground, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air with a slightly bloody smell, his eyes fixed on the five people rushing towards him. There were two Bai Ruoxuan, one Four-Star Yuan Zong, two Six-Star Yuan Zong, and two Eight-Star Yuan Zong. Such a lineup could be considered invincible below the Yuan Zun. It would probably not be easy for him to deal with the attacks of these five people at the same time.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yan swallowed several pills, feeling the gentle medicinal power spreading rapidly through his body. His face seemed to become a little rosy. His mind raced, and Heavenly Flames ignited on his body. Then, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground and launched a fierce attack on Bai Ruoxuan, who was in the lead.
"Bang!"
In a single exchange, Bai Ruoxuan was forcefully pushed back. Even though he had already gone through a battle, the power Xiao Yan unleashed at this moment still caused Bai Ruoxuan's expression to change drastically.
"Drink!"
However, Xiao Yan showed no sign of stopping. With each change of his steps, he continuously used the Heavenly Severing Steps, his figure moving like a ghost as he swiftly approached Bai Ruoxuan. His fists swung, Heavenly Flames flew, and he slammed them down directly towards the latter's face!
"How dare you, you brat!"
As Bai Ruoxuan made his move to defend, a Six-Star Yuan Zong who had arrived from behind in the void on one side hurriedly attacked, fiercely striking Xiao Yan's neck.
The latter snorted coldly, and as the opponent's blade struck, the light from his Storage Ring flashed, and a purplish-black light streaked out, accompanied by a surge of thunder and lightning. An iron fist instantly slammed into the chest of the Six-Star Yuan Zong, the terrifying force breaking his spine. The raging thunderous power swept through his body, and then, with a muffled thud, the Six-Star Yuan Zong lost his life.
At the same time, Xiao Yan and Bai Ruoxuan's clash separated again, each retreating a hundred feet. Amidst the flashing light beside Xiao Yan, an Eight-Star Yuan Zong rushed forward, only to be knocked away by the Northern King. As for the other Six-Star Yuan Zong, he flew to the side of the deceased, his expression changing drastically, and he felt a sense of horror at Xiao Yan's methods.
"Hmph, charge! As long as one of us holds that puppet back, the three of us can kill him!"
Bai Ruoxuan glanced coldly at the Six-Star Yuan Zong who had instantly turned into a corpse. As the muscles at the corner of his eye twitched, the raging fire in his heart remained undiminished. He ordered the other Eight-Star Yuan Zong to rush forward and kill, while he and the remaining Yuan Zong joined forces to step forward, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to make a move.
"Drink!"
Seeing the three people rushing forward again, Xiao Yan let out a long roar, his body trembled violently, and two balls of different colored Heavenly Flames suddenly appeared in his hands. A sinister smile appeared on his lips, and then he clenched his hands tightly, causing the Heavenly Flames to explode. At this moment, his aura also suddenly surged!
" The Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations!"
With a roar of anger, another ball of flame erupted from his mouth, engulfing his entire body in the explosion. Beneath it, his flesh shone with golden light. As he swung his fist, his body rapidly grew, transforming in the blink of an eye into a giant Vajra god stained with flames, fiercely clashing with the charging Eight-Star Yuan Zong!
With a single strike, the expression of the Eight-Star Yuan Zong changed slightly. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan's cultivation level had actually risen to the level of Six-Star Yuan Zong. Moreover, the burst of his combat power was much stronger than before. Even with his cultivation level, he felt quite strained when he clashed with Xiao Yan in front of him!
This child must not be allowed to live!
" Mid Intent Grade Dou Technique: Baleful Blood Seal!"
The old man crossed his palms, and two bloody marks immediately appeared on his palms. As the blood gushed out, a surge of Origin Qi poured into them, and an extremely powerful aura burst forth from them!
Opposite him, Xiao Yan raised his hands to his chest, his hand seals rapidly moving, and judging from his posture, it was clearly the Emperor Seal Art!
However, the way he used it now was quite different from when he fought Xiao Feng. There were several more complex hand seals, and the power contained within them had also risen to a whole new level!
" Heaven Flipping Seal!"
The seal he unleashed was none other than the seventh seal of the Eight Emperor Seal Techniques, the so-called first seal below the Saint Class. With Xiao Yan's current strength, if he were to unleash it at full power, even an ordinary Nine-Star Yuan Zong would have to take it seriously.
"Bang!"
The two collided, and within a few breaths, the astonishing power shattered the oncoming Baleful Blood Seal, and even the Eight-Star Yuan Zong was blasted back a hundred feet!
"Prepare to die!"
Just as the Eight-Star Yuan Zong was being driven back, another Six-Star Yuan Zong suddenly lunged at Xiao Yan, raising a giant blade high in his hand and slashing it down heavily towards Xiao Yan's head!
Even if Xiao Yan, in his current state, were to take the attack head-on at this moment, it would be difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't suffer severe injuries.
"Do not harm my lord!"
Suddenly, a dry sound, like Nether Sound, resounded. The Northern King's body reappeared in front of Xiao Yan, delivering a powerful whip kick that unleashed all its power on the Six-Star Yuan Zong's body. With a single blow, he sent the man flying far away, likely to suffer severe injuries and be on the verge of death.
Immediately after, Bai Ruoxuan, who followed closely behind, was also captured by the Northern King with one hand. On the other side, the Eight-Star Yuan Zong who had been fighting with the Northern King earlier was now struggling to get up from the ground. When he looked up, the remaining three of them saw Bai Ruoxuan, who was being subdued by the Northern King.
"Uh... how... how could this be? Rong... Elder Rong, save me!"
At this moment, a terrified scream came from Bai Ruoxuan's mouth. High above, Bai Rong, who was covered in blood in the killing formation, finally saw this scene on the ground again. Instantly, his desperate screams resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.
" Xiao Yan, if you dare to harm him, my Bai Clan will fight you to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan gave a chilling laugh. His golden eyes slowly rose, gazing at Bai Rong in the sky, and he coldly said:
"Even if I release him now, there will be no room for reconciliation between us, so you should keep those arguments to yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan's massive hand slowly grasped Bai Ruoxuan's head, applying gentle pressure. With a cracking sound, Bai Ruoxuan's body convulsed violently before he completely lost all life.
