"Whether it's true or not, what does it matter? All you need to understand is that you're about to die, and that's enough!"
The young man said mockingly.
"That depends on whether you have the ability!"
Xiao Yan sneered. As soon as the other party appeared, he also sensed the true cultivation level of this young man. Three-Star Yuan Zun, such cultivation was indeed much stronger than that Daoist Xuankong, but it was far from being a situation where he was helpless.
Not to mention that the strength of the Northern King Yuan Zun could stop him to some extent, the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, formed by fusing the several Heavenly Flames he currently possesses, is something that even Five-Star Yuan Zun would not dare to ignore.
"Well, it seems Bai Rong's death has given you quite a bit of confidence!"
Upon hearing the former's words, the young man couldn't help but sneer. In the next instant, his figure suddenly moved, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards Xiao Yan.
" The Northern King!"
Xiao Yan shouted loudly, his body retreating rapidly. He quickly raised both hands, flicking his fingers repeatedly, and unleashed a series of hand seals, which were the Emperor Seal Art.
After all, the opponent was Three-Star Yuan Zun. Even if Xiao Yan was somewhat confident in his ability to protect himself, he could not afford to be careless before knowing the person's true strength. Otherwise, if the opponent found a weakness, he might not even have a chance to turn the tables.
"Sizzle!"
A violent surge of lightning crackled around the Northern King's body as he fearlessly charged toward the youth shooting towards him. In the blink of an eye, their faces were almost touching. But facing the Northern King so close, the youth actually gave a cold smile and uttered a single word.
"Retreat!"
At his command, a seductive melody spread out from in front of him. The invisible void twisted and churned violently under the power of this single word. The Northern King's movements slowed down in an instant, and the lightning power wrapped around his body was suppressed. Then, the young man exhaled again, and the invisible sound wave instantly transformed into an invisible cannonball, blasting the Northern King back.
The young man shifted his gaze to Xiao Yan, who was showing surprise. He smiled mockingly, stomped his foot in the void, and a sonic boom came from beneath his feet. At the same time, his figure flashed out in an extremely strange way, and he appeared in the void a few feet in front of Xiao Yan.
" Heaven Flipping Seal!"
Faced with the sudden approach of the young man, Xiao Yan pushed forward with both palms without hesitation. A strange seal emitting flames in his palms immediately swelled up and rushed straight towards the oncoming young man.
"Hmph, it's actually the Emperor Seal Art of the Gu Clan! How did something like this fall into your hands? Let me see this legendary top-tier Dou Technique!"
Recognizing the Dou Technique Xiao Yan was using, the young man's face flashed with a strange expression. He then stretched out his hands, and the Origin Qi in his palms rapidly gathered. He then slammed his hands heavily in front of his chest!
"Smack!"
A clear, resounding sound immediately echoed out. The sound wave emanating from the palm transformed into an invisible sonic blade the instant it shot forward. Under the frenzied gathering of Origin Qi, it quickly solidified and then collided heavily with the oncoming hand seal. After a violent spatial turbulence, both vanished into nothingness.
However, even as the intense energy aftershocks dissipated, the lingering sonic waves that spread outwards still caused Xiao Yan was not far away, to feel a tremor in his heart.
"This person's sonic Dou Technique is truly remarkable; even the residual power can affect my mind!"
Xiao Yan inwardly gasped, feeling somewhat horrified by the young man's methods.
Fortunately, at the same time as he was affected by the sound waves, the Soul-Guiding Incense deep within his soul was also suddenly aroused. Accompanied by an inexplicable tremor, it surged from the depths of his soul, and the powerful external sound waves quietly dissipated.
Faced with the Soul-Guiding Incense, the eerie sound waves that even ordinary Yuan Zun dared not easily ignore were as insignificant as a threat to Xiao Yan.
"Die!"
Just then, a voice filled with icy killing intent suddenly came from behind Xiao Yan. The disdainful young man appeared behind him without anyone noticing. The moment he uttered his words, an invisible sonic blade swiftly slashed towards Xiao Yan's neck.
With his mastery of the Great Dao of Sound Waves, he has easily killed countless opponents, including many Yuan Zun Venerables. Dealing with a mere Yuan Zong is a piece of cake for him!
"Buzz!"
However, just as the invisible sonic blade was about to strike Xiao Yan's neck, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from Xiao Yan's body, instantly transforming into a Vajra giant. The sonic blade was easily blocked by this golden body.
It was none other than Xiao Yan's Giant Elephant Art!
The sudden turn of events caused the young man's expression to change drastically. As he retreated rapidly, his incredulous gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yan's face beneath the golden light, and he exclaimed in surprise:
How is that possible?
"Hmph, I never imagined that someone as dignified Yuan Zun would also enjoy such underhanded tactics as attacking people from behind!"
Xiao Yan let out a cold sneer, and with a swing of his massive arm, a Vajra Fist slammed down heavily towards the youth. The latter dodged Xiao Yan's attack with lightning speed, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the Northern King not far away, before staring at Xiao Yan and demanding in a deep voice:
" The Nether Sound just now didn't affect your senses?"
No comment.
Xiao Yan's lips curled into a sneer. This person's methods were truly insidious and vicious. First, he used Dou Technique to confuse his opponent, then he used sound waves to disturb his mind, and then he attacked and killed him in an instant. If it weren't for the special effects of the Soul-Guiding Incense, he would probably already be decapitated by now.
The young man's face twitched slightly upon hearing this, then he took a deep breath, and as if he had thought of something, he said in a deep voice:
"It's Soul-Guiding Incense!"
Xiao Yan remained noncommittal. The other party had been studying the Great Dao of Sound Waves for a long time and had reached such a level of cultivation. Moreover, as an alchemist, how could he not understand the effects of the Soul-Guiding Incense?
"Laugh!"
Just as the young man frowned, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the void beside him, and a burly body instantly emerged. Thunderous power enveloped its entire body, and the black body curled up in one place, rapidly spinning in mid-air. The thick dragon tail spun around and chopped down heavily on the young man's head like a giant axe!
" Spirit Sound Barrier!"
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the young man let out a low shout, and his body trembled violently. Invisible sound waves emanated from his body, transforming into layers of sonic shields that surrounded him.
"Bang bang bang!"
The thick dragon tail slashed repeatedly at the sound barrier. As the violent lightning pounded against the sound barrier, the sonic booms strangely merged into it, making the barrier's protection even stronger. This scene caught Xiao Yan's attention from afar.
Judging from this, even if I and the Northern King joined forces, it would be extremely difficult to repel him without using our trump cards. Once the effect of the secret technique that enhances cultivation wears off, we'll probably be at his mercy!
If we want to get rid of this person as soon as possible, we probably have no choice but to take a desperate gamble!
"Puff!"
Upon realizing this, Xiao Yan twisted his body, and the Giant Elephant Art instantly dissipated. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out six balls of flame, which he then quickly mixed together with his hands.
