Seeing Xiao Yan's expression of preparing to go all out, Xiao Siyu dared not be careless. Her bright eyes darted around, and then, with a flick of her jade hand, the black-gold flames quickly transformed into a palm-sized black gold spirit falcon. With a gentle whistle from her red lips, the spirit falcon immediately took flight, flying back the way it came at an extremely fast speed.
This spirit falcon was formed from the original flame of the Black Sparrow Flame within her body. Its detection effect might not be as good as Xiao Yan's ability to sense earth veins, but fortunately, it is not tainted by any aura. Even Yuan Zun expert would have no chance of detecting its source, making it much more secretive in comparison.
After releasing the spirit falcon, Xiao Siyu immediately waved her hand and threw out two jade array Formation Plate engraved with golden runes from her Storage Ring. She then threw dozens of High-Grade Spirit Stone into them, and to be on the safe side, she also threw in a Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone for each one.
With the infusion of these Spirit Stone, the golden runes on the Formation Plate suddenly shone brightly, then immediately disappeared, vanishing into the dense stone forest in front of them under Xiao Siyu's mental control.
Having done all this, she felt a little more at ease. As the Fire Lotus between Xiao Yan's palms took shape, the astonishing aura of destruction was forcibly concealed, and the entire stone forest gradually returned to silence. Only the avatar atop a certain rock emitted a faint aura that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
At that moment, Xiao Siyu suddenly raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice:
"We're almost there; we should arrive in less than fifteen minutes, but..."
As she finished speaking, Xiao Siyu frowned slightly. With the help of the spirit falcon, she could roughly sense the person's aura, but she also realized that the other party did not seem to be Xiang Wuhui himself.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned, feeling a little uneasy. However, given the current situation, whoever came seemed to have ulterior motives, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
Upon realizing this, Xiao Yan immediately changed his mind, and a pitch-black curtain instantly appeared in the surrounding void, quickly enveloping the two of them and covering them in the shadow of the standing stone beside them. Even the aura on their bodies completely disappeared.
The avatar standing at the top quietly mobilized the vast Origin Qi within its body and waited patiently.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's neck, which was standing tall, snapped off without warning, leaving a hollow space between his head and neck, just like a shattered mirror.
"Snort!"
A disdainful snort echoed from the void, and at the same time, Xiao Yan and his companion, hidden in the shadows, suddenly froze. An extremely powerful Spiritual Strength was raging wildly across this world, tearing everything apart like an invisible storm. Even with the Great Dao of the Void as a shield, Xiao Yan and his companion were likely to be caught off guard and attacked by this mysterious Yuan Zun.
"Click click click..."
A short time later, a sharp sound, like a heavy object being crushed, came from the stone forest where Xiao Siyu had previously placed the Formation Plate.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, an astonishing surge of energy swept outwards, leaving a huge crater in its wake and instantly leveling a large area of the surrounding stone forest.
The two Formation Plate that Xiao Siyu threw out were reduced to ashes in no time.
"Two useless Formation Plate and a flawed avatar, and you think you can stop me? What a joke!"
A disdainful voice rang out again. A figure appeared in the void beside Xiao Yan's avatar at some point. With one raised hand, it grasped the avatar's head, and with a gentle pinch of its five fingers, it dissipated it into Sumeru. The figure's eyes revealed a sinister look of certainty.
It's him!
When Xiao Yan, who was hiding in the shadows, saw the newcomer, his heart sank. This guy was none other than the Ghost Gate member who had attacked him in Pill City not long ago!
This person's cultivation level is likely even higher than that of Xiang Wuhui!
The mysterious figure coldly swept across the land below, speaking softly, his calm voice like countless sharp blades sweeping across the heavens and earth.
" Xiao Yan, you're nothing but a sacrificial lamb. Do you think you can escape my grasp? Will you obediently come out and surrender, or do I need to turn this place into ruins?"
"Buzz!"
Just as the mysterious figure finished speaking, Xiao Yan's avatar, which seemed on the verge of collapse, suddenly erupted with an astonishing energy fluctuation and exploded in an instant!
A dazzling white light burst forth from the explosion site, accompanied by a faint sound of air being torn apart. However, the white light was quickly and easily suppressed by another force, and the energy fluctuations within it were frantically torn apart and forcibly condensed.
Where the light faded, the mysterious figure calmly extended a hand, firmly controlling a fist-sized white energy sphere within its palm.
The sudden attack that transformed into something comparable to the self-destruction of Yuan Zong expert was easily neutralized by Yuan Zun expert with a mere wave of his hand.
"A trivial skill!"
A strange smile appeared on the face of the mysterious figure beneath the black robe. He then flipped his hand and slammed the ball of light in his palm heavily into the void to one side. The entire space instantly became like an invisible wall. On the side of his palm, the ball of light exploded again, along with a surge of powerful Origin Qi energy.
Almost simultaneously, the Northern King's body suddenly appeared in the void, his thick dragon tail wrapped in black lightning, and he delivered a heavy blow!
"Sizzle!"
Amidst the ear-piercing explosion and the violent tremors of space, the mysterious figure, who had remained composed just moments before, involuntarily took a half-step back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes beneath the black robe.
The power unleashed by the puppet before them seemed to be much stronger than it had been not long ago, which was somewhat unexpected.
Before the mysterious figure could ponder further, two bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from the Northern King's empty eyes, striking forward like arrows, while his body pressed forward once more.
"Seal up!"
Upon seeing the Northern King attack again, the figure let out a cold shout, and in an instant, the space around the Northern King froze, and his body was forcibly imprisoned.
As a high-level Yuan Zun, once he gets serious, the Northern King's current combat strength naturally makes it impossible for him to get close easily.
However, just as the Northern King was sealed off by the Great Dao of Space, black fire feathers suddenly rose up in the surrounding world, and the sparks of fire connected and instantly enveloped the entire world.
The mysterious figure's gaze suddenly changed as he looked up at the sky. High above, Xiao Siyu's delicate figure had appeared there at some point, her spiritual eyes, glowing with black and gold fire, looking down at the mysterious figure below. Judging from her aura at this moment, she was already infinitely close to the Yuan Zun level!
" The Great Dao Technique: Black Fire Heavenly Illumination!"
Sensing the terrifying cultivation level of the newcomer, Xiao Siyu naturally had no intention of holding back any longer. With a cold shout in her heart, a pair of black and gold wings suddenly rose from behind her, and raging flames rose from them. The dazzling flames were like a sun, and they reflected the falling fire feathers, creating streaks of fire that intertwined and formed a vast fire net, releasing an even more powerful Power of the Great Dao.
"Snap!"
With the combined power of Xiao Siyu's Great Dao of Fire and the Northern King's terrifying thunder, the spatial blockade of the mysterious figure was completely broken in just a few breaths.
