As the bloodstains dissipated, silence fell over the world. Everyone present stared in disbelief at Xiao Yan, who remained calm in the arena. The strange black beam of light and the power contained in that attack had even terrified the Origin Yuan Zun experts present.
"Zijing!"
Immediately afterward, a furious roar resounded through the sky. As everyone came to their senses, Bai Haotang, the head of the Bai Clan, rushed to Xiao Yan with a murderous look on his face. He pulled Bai Zijing back and hurriedly examined him. He found that the Origin Pearl in the latter's internal energy vortex had cracks. If it could not be repaired, his cultivation path would be ruined from now on!
Upon realizing this, Bai Haotang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and in the instant she turned her head, she grabbed Xiao Yan's face with one hand.
"You little bastard, die!"
With his cultivation level, Xiao Yan couldn't possibly dodge a close-range sniper attack from a Seven-Star Yuan Zun. As soon as the Void Tent behind him hurriedly materialized, he pointed his finger heavily at the black dot in front of him again. With all his might, a huge black beam of light shot out and collided fiercely with the palm that was coming towards him.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Amidst a violent hissing sound, even Bai Haotang, with his cultivation level, was blocked for several breaths. When the black light dissipated, he raised his hand to look at his palm again, and the strange power had actually eroded away a layer of skin and flesh from his palm.
"What a bizarre Dou Technique! It can actually decompose and devour everything it encounters!"
Having personally experienced the terrifying power of Xiao Yan's Dou Technique, Bai Haotang's killing intent surged instantly.
"This boy must be killed today, or the consequences will be dire!"
As he looked up, Xiao Yan had already retreated rapidly using the Great Dao of the Void. Xiao Yuheng, who had been standing there, flashed to his side, coldly staring at him, and said in a chilling tone:
" Bai Clan, you said the outcome of this battle is up to fate. What you're doing now is probably damaging to the Bai Clan's reputation."
"Get out of my way! What kind of nonsense is this? My son died tragically at Xiao Yan's hands, and now he has ruined my Zijing. If you don't kill him today, your entire Xiao Clan will never have peace!"
Bai Haotang cursed and suddenly shot out. With a wave of his hand, the Power of the Great Dao materialized in his palm, and he clashed fiercely with Xiao Yuheng. As they retreated, Bai Haotang twisted his body and then pressed forward. Just as Xiao Yuheng was about to intercept him, Bai Haotang's body suddenly flashed, and he strangely passed by Xiao Yuheng. At the same time, a loud shout resounded throughout the world.
" Bai Clan people, heed my command! Attack together and kill Xiao Yan!"
As the command was given, all the Bai Clan people present looked at each other in surprise, and then mobilized their internal Origin Qi and rushed forward. Xiao Yuheng, who was turning around, was blocked by an old man in a gray robe who was following closely behind.
" The Bai Clan's actions indicate they are preparing for war against my Xiao Clan!"
Xiao Yuheng stared coldly at the figure opposite him and rebuked him in a cold voice.
However, what greeted him was only a sharp energy streak from that Yuan Zun expert. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yuheng flashed forward and, as he scanned the distance, saw that the Xiao Clan members in the distance were also rushing out without hesitation, engaging in a fierce battle with the Bai Clan experts who had charged forward. In the blink of an eye, the sky above Xiao City was filled with flying Dou Technique, extremely intense.
This time, the Xiao Clan members did not hesitate at all. Led by Xiao Shaojun and Xiao Yuehua, everyone who made a move was ruthless. The Bai Clan's powerful members were all stopped. The Xiao Clan's strength even showed a faint trend of suppression.
At the same time, Bai Haotang's figure transformed into a streak of light, passing through the crowd and chasing after the retreating Xiao Yan. After several flashes, he appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Die!"
"Clang!"
The moment the palm struck, a long sword with a sharp edge blocked Xiao Yan's path. Immediately afterward, Xiao Xuan appeared, a hurricane swirling around him, his sword intent soaring to the sky. Even someone as strong as Bai Haotang couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
"I've heard that the Xiao Clan has produced a prodigy who has mastered the Power of the Great Dao. Is that you?"
Bai Haotang glanced at the Orchid Sword in Xiao Xuan's hand and said in a chilling tone.
"I don't have a deep impression of the Bai Clan, perhaps because you don't have many outstanding individuals among them."
Xiao Xuan said calmly.
"Since you insist on courting death, you mere Early Yuan Zun, then today I will settle your score with Bai Rong as well!"
Faced with Xiao Xuan's sharp words, Bai Haotang's face twitched slightly. He used his palm as a blade and thrust it forward heavily, but it was blocked by Xiao Xuan's sword. The two then engaged in battle.
Behind him, Xiao Yan looked at the sky, which had become chaotic in an instant. His gaze swept over the crowd and locked onto the opposite side of the battlefield, where Bai Zijing, who was seriously injured, was being protected by two Bai Clan experts. Immediately, a killing intent emerged from his eyes.
Bai Zijing has pursued him repeatedly, and today he even brought Bai Clan experts to attack him. Since things have come to this, it would be better to take this opportunity to settle things once and for all!
With a thought in mind, Xiao Yan dispelled the fire ring behind him, and his aura gradually decreased to that of Seven-Star Yuan Zong. Immediately, a feeling of weakness spread from his body. He quickly shook his head, exhaled deeply, and swallowed several pills to restore his Origin Qi. Then, he manipulated the six Heavenly Flames in his palms and began to fuse them together.
After a while.
"Laugh..."
Outside the battle zone, a faint hissing sound pierced the void. The people in the midst of the fierce battle naturally couldn't notice it. Only the few Yuan Zun experts felt a terrifying aura faintly permeating the surrounding air, and their inner emotions couldn't help but become slightly uneasy.
On the other side of the battle, the heavily injured Bai Zijing was diligently refining the pills he had swallowed under the care of two Eight-Star Yuan Zong, completely unaware of what was happening outside. It wasn't until a figure suddenly flashed in the void not far away that the two Yuan Zong beside him released their Origin Qi and surveyed the surrounding world with wary eyes.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, accompanied by a thunderous sound that cut through the void. One of the two powerful figures was blasted back by the black shadow and then engaged in a fierce battle with it.
" Bai Ling!"
The remaining person's expression changed drastically in an instant. As he turned around, Xiao Yan, dressed in black robes, appeared in the void in front of him like a ghost. At the same time, a palm print lightly landed on his chest.
" Mountain and River Seal!"
Despite having protective barriers, the Eight-Star Yuan Zong was still sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by the sudden attack. A scream echoed from his mouth. Only then did Bai Haotang and the others in the center of the battlefield notice Xiao Yan standing beside Bai Zijing in the distance.
"What!"
Startled, Bai Haotang immediately withdrew from the battle. Looking closely, she saw a beautiful Fire Lotus slowly floating in Xiao Yan's palm. The destructive power within it terrified Bai Haotang.
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan raised his hand to press the Fire Lotus onto Bai Zijing's body, when Bai Haotang's furious shout suddenly rang out.
" Xiao Yan, how dare you!"
" Bai Zijing dies today, my clan and you will be sworn enemies to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan paused slightly in his hand movements, slowly turned his head, and looked directly at Bai Haotang, whose face was full of killing intent. A sinister smile appeared on his lips, and then he pressed down the Fire Lotus in his hand without hesitation. In the next instant, a shocking explosion pierced the sky!
