Bai Zijing never expected that Xiao Yan would appear here!
" Xiao Yan, die!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan for the first time, Bai Zijing's eyes were immediately filled with crimson rage. In his fury, he unleashed his inner Origin Qi to its fullest extent, shooting forward like lightning as he rapidly approached Xiao Yan inside the stone cave!
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred. When Bai Zijing learned of Bai Ruoxuan's death from Bai Rong, his overwhelming killing intent nearly drove him mad. Now, seeing Xiao Yan again in the Fire Banyan Ruins, the emotions that had been suppressed for so long surged into his mind without any hindrance. At this moment, Bai Zijing had only one thought in his mind: kill Xiao Yan!
"Clang!"
Suddenly, Bai Zijing, who was rushing forward at high speed, crashed heavily into a huge barrier. The force generated by his speed was so great that he was thrown back a hundred feet. As he fell, a mouthful of bright red blood gushed from his mouth. The other three who rushed over then discovered that there was an extremely solid barrier protecting the outer perimeter of the stone cave. Even Bai Rong, after personally investigating, couldn't help but feel a chill after seeing its astonishing toughness.
"This... this was arranged by Yuan Zun expert. Could it be the one who rescued them back then?"
Bai Rong's eyes darted around, and he immediately thought of the mysterious expert who had rescued Xiao Yan and the others from his clutches on the Flowing Fire Plain. If there was a Yuan Zun expert behind Xiao Yan and the other two, it must be the one who made the move back then!
" Yuan Zun expert?"
Upon hearing Bai Rong's words, the other two beside him immediately changed their expressions, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes. But then, a cold snort rang in their ears, Bai Zijing's figure followed closely to the barrier.
"Hmph, regardless of whether he is the Yuan Zun or not, Xiao Yan must die today!"
Bai Rong nodded slowly. They were now only inches away from Xiao Yan. If they let this opportunity slip by, it would become incredibly difficult to kill him again. No matter what, they had to make a move to kill him here!
With this thought in mind, Bai Rong slowly raised his withered hand and placed it against the barrier in front of him, feeling the intense aura emanating from it. His eyes slowly closed, and snowflakes began to flutter rapidly in the air. After a moment, he withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Based on my investigation, that mysterious expert is definitely not in this Stone Rock Valley. If there is a fourth person in this cave, they will not escape my notice. Young Master, now is the perfect opportunity for us to eliminate Xiao Yan!"
"Call..."
Bai Zijing nodded slightly, a ferocious smile curling at the corner of his mouth. His scarlet eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan inside the barrier. He clenched his fists and unleashed his Dou Qi, slamming his full power into the barrier in front of him!
"Bang bang bang bang!"
After Bai Zijing's initial punch, the four of them unleashed a barrage of furious blows upon the barrier. The resounding explosions were as dense as raindrops, and the barrier covering the entire cave gradually trembled under their prolonged and frenzied bombardment. Finally, a tiny crack slowly spread across its surface...
Meanwhile, inside the stone cave, the temperature of the lava covering Xiao Yan's body gradually subsided. Within the cracks, the flowing magma slowly entered his body with Xiao Yan breath, eventually transforming into a crimson flame that slowly merged with the other Heavenly Flames.
"Snap!"
Nearly an hour later, this solid barrier finally shattered with a crisp explosion under the combined efforts of the four people, turning into countless fragments of Origin Qi that quickly dispersed into the air. At the same time, the entire stone cave and Xiao Yan, who was right in front of them, were completely exposed to the murderous gazes of Bai Zijing and the others!
" Xiao Yan, I will make you pay for this in blood!"
With a sharp roar, Bai Zijing's body suddenly trembled, and his figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards Xiao Yan. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged. He clenched his fist tightly, and the blue Origin Qi in his palm frantically gathered, transforming into a sharp arrow. With a fierce swing of his arm, he slammed it down towards Xiao Yan's head!
Die!
The arrow pierced through the void with a piercing sonic boom, hurtling towards Xiao Yan's forehead at breakneck speed. If this strike hit, his head would likely be instantly blasted apart by the arrow!
However, just as the arrow tip was inches away from Xiao Yan's head, a hand landed on Bai Zijing's hand that was tightly gripping the arrow. The astonishing force instantly restrained the arm that was swinging so fiercely, along with the hand holding the arrow!
Immediately afterwards, a pair of pitch-black eyes slowly opened, and deep within the pupils, dark red flames surged up, while an extremely intense and powerful energy wave suddenly swept out from Xiao Yan's body!
"Buzz!"
Bai Zijing swung his body violently, breaking free from Xiao Yan's grasp. At the same time, he used the force of the wave to retreat rapidly until Bai Rong caught him with a palm strike from behind. Only then did the four people outside the stone cave look at Xiao Yan, who was slowly rising from under the withered tree, with grim expressions.
"This guy's aura..."
" Seven-Star Yuan Zong, how could they be so fast?"
"In just about six months, he actually jumped from Four-Star Yuan Zong to Seven-Star Yuan Zong! How is that possible!"
Sensing the surging aura within Xiao Yan's body, Bai Rong and the others couldn't help but show a look of horror on their faces. Only Bai Zijing, after a slight pause, immediately thought of something, waved his hand, and the map of Stone Rock Valley fell into his palm. On it, at the deepest part of Stone Rock Valley, there was a scarlet mark that was very conspicuous!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
A surge of rage rose from his heart to the top of his head. Bai Zijing couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse. How could he imagine that the map and the treasures he had fought so hard to obtain would be snatched away by Xiao Yan, the man who had murdered his own family, and even had his cultivation level increased by three stars!
This should have been his lucky break, but now it's all gone...
" Xiao Yan! Today I will tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust!"
Driven by rage and boundless hatred, Bai Zijing ripped the map before him to shreds with his hands. Then, the instant he looked up, his venomous gaze locked onto Xiao Yan. With a stomp of his foot, Bai Zijing shot out like a cannonball, unleashing a deluge of Origin Qi that rained down upon Xiao Yan!
