In the void, Xiao Yan, covered in blood, gripped Hei Mu's neck tightly with one hand, suspending him in mid-air like a duck.
The excessive force caused Hei Mu's originally dark face to turn bright red, and his pair of gloomy eyes were forced to bulge outwards, almost as if they were about to fall out.
" Intent Class Dou Technique... is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, you are not yet capable of unleashing its true strength. If this is all you have, then I think you have lost today..."
Spitting out a mouthful of saliva filled with a metallic sweetness, Xiao Yan lightly patted his chest with his other hand, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitching occasionally, and spoke in a chilling tone.
At this point, Xiao Yan had to admit that the Heart-Shattering Palm was truly terrifying, befitting its Intent Class Dou Technique. With his current physical and Spiritual Strength, he simply couldn't withstand its terrifying power.
With Xiao Yan's current physical strength, after the full power of the Heart-Shattering Palm was unleashed, it was no surprise that a very deep crack appeared in Xiao Yan's heart.
If it weren't for the protection of the Emperor's bloodline and the Heavenly Flames within him, Xiao Yan would probably have no chance to stand up again.
Of course, that's not all. As Intent Class Dou Technique, the Heart-Shattering Palm not only harms the physical body, but also shatters Xiao Yan's soul. His Soul Origin was almost damaged.
If Xiao Yan hadn't now reached the Second-Tier Alchemist in terms of Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan would likely have been severely injured by that single move.
This demonstrates just how terrifying Intent Class Dou Technique are!
Most importantly, Hei Mu's strength is now less than one ten-thousandth of what it used to be. The fact that he can barely use it is already a huge price he has paid. The fact that he can unleash such terrifying power that even Xiao Yan felt his heart tremble speaks volumes about the power of the Heart-Shattering Palm!
Today, it was only thanks to Xiao Yan's powerful physical and Spiritual Strength that he was able to barely withstand this terrifying palm strike. However, if it were any other ordinary Half-Emperor, let alone Three-Star Half-Emperor, even Five-Star Half-Emperor would probably not be able to withstand it.
Xiao Yan sighed inwardly once more at the terrifying power of the Heart-Shattering Palm. His gaze toward Hei Mu grew even colder. He clenched his fist on his chest, and a burst of Heavenly Flames erupted from his pores, covering his entire palm.
Immediately, Xiao Yan grabbed Hei Mu, who was as stiff as a dead chicken, and pulled him close to his ear, slowly uttering a low voice.
"You enjoyed beating me earlier? Well, let me see just how strong your body really is compared to mine, whom you consider so fragile!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan delivered a powerful punch that slammed into Hei Mu's chest. The terrifying force of the punch caused Hei Mu's withered chest to cave in, making him look like a deflated balloon, which was quite frightening.
"Click..."
A crisp sound rang out, and countless ribs on Hei Mu's chest shattered with that sound. The long robe on his back, which was still barely intact, also seemed to be torn apart by some enormous force, and it burst apart with a bang.
From his fist, an extremely powerful and terrifying internal force roared out like a volcanic eruption, surging into Hei Mu's body, and muffled explosions continuously emanated from within Hei Mu's body.
Even Hei Mu found it difficult to withstand such a terrifying punch. His internal energy churned violently, and blood continuously gushed from his mouth, rolling down his thin, dry lips...
But just as the crimson blood was about to drip onto Xiao Yan's hand, it was instantly incinerated into nothingness by an invisible flame amidst a hissing sound.
As the punch landed, Xiao Yan's expression grew even colder. He forcefully swung the hand gripping the Hei Mu upwards, his muscular body suddenly spun around, and a dazzling Heavenly Flames instantly rose from his right leg. The scorching heat spread out, and the surrounding void rippled like melting ice and snow.
The next moment, a fierce Dou Qi suddenly flashed across Xiao Yan's face. His powerful Dou Qi quickly gathered on his right leg, and the burning Heavenly Flames, supported by the Dou Qi, shone brightly like a shooting star.
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
With a glint of light in his eyes, Xiao Yan suddenly roared in his heart, and at the same time, his right leg, which was enveloped in terrifying Heavenly Flames, lashed out violently.
The fierce wind, like a blade, tore through the void in an instant. Its terrifying speed transformed into a series of ear-piercing sonic booms that echoed through the void. The terrifying whip kick, carrying a terrifying energy gust of wind, slammed into Hei Mu's withered chest the instant Hei Mu's body was airborne.
"Bang!"
A thunderous boom, mixed with the crisp sound of bones breaking, resounded loudly. At the same time, a dazzling wave of flames spread vertically from the point of impact.
But before the fiery shockwave had completely dissipated, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he roared, "..."
"Burst!"
"Boom!"
With a roar, a loud boom suddenly erupted from Hei Mu's body. Crimson blood gushed out from all parts of Hei Mu's body, and at the same moment the explosion occurred, his body flew backward like a shooting star.
With Xiao Yan's current strength, he was naturally very clear that his seemingly powerful attack, which was enough to severely injure a One-Star Half-Emperor, was actually nothing special to someone like Hei Mu.
Xiao Yan's punch could injure the physical body, but not its essence. As long as the essence remained intact, no matter how much more effort Xiao Yan put in, it would be in vain. And most importantly, this physical body did not belong to the Hei Mu!
Therefore, the only way to end this endless battle right now is to make one last desperate attempt to decide the outcome in one decisive round!
Seeing Hei Mu blasted to the edge of his sight, Xiao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he still dared not relax easily. As he retreated rapidly, he spoke again in his mind.
" Elder Gu, I hope you can lend me another hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan's entire body burst into flames of blazing white, Bone Spirit Cold Flame!
The appearance of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame caused this space to become distorted at that moment, and the void space became as sticky as mud.
The already thin air made it even harder for Xiao Yan to breathe. If it weren't for his sufficient strength, which allowed him to control his internal energy, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until the very last moment.
With the appearance of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Yan's mind stirred, and the Heavenly Flames within his body surged forth rapidly. This time, the lineup was undoubtedly much stronger than in the previous battles against Eight-Star Half-Emperor.
All the top five Heavenly Flames on the Strange Flame Heavenly Flame Ranking, except for the Nihility Devouring Flame, were present. Clusters of Heavenly Flame Origin of different colors bloomed like flowers, but no one would underestimate the terrifying power contained within those "flowers".
As he unleashed these four blazing Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan's expression gradually became solemn.
The top five Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flame Ranking, which he controls, will naturally not have too many problems when they are fused together. At most, it will just consume a lot of his own energy. But the borrowed Bone Spirit Cold Flame is a real external aid!
Putting aside the rejection he received from the Bone Spirit Bone Spirit Cold Flame Bone Spirit Cold Flame, even his own Heavenly Flames would not tolerate its existence.
Although the presence of Elder Gu allows the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to disregard Xiao Yan's aversion, its power is undeniable. With the support of Gu You You's true Origin Body, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame Bone Spirit Cold Flame and Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames are unlikely to cooperate willingly. This presents another major challenge for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan frowned deeply. This fusion was far more difficult than the previous ones!
However, before Xiao Yan could have any ideas, Hei Mu's figure reappeared at the far end of the void. Just as Xiao Yan had expected, those two previous attacks really had no effect on Hei Mu.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's already furrowed brows furrowed even more. With a determined heart, Xiao Yan moved his feet and instantly used the Heavenly Severing Steps. His figure disappeared into the void and drifted around.
Space shattered, Hei Mu's blood-stained body appeared where Xiao Yan had just stood. He frowned slightly; Xiao Yan's speed was truly beyond his expectations.
"Heh heh heh heh, this kid is really something else. Not only is he strong, but his escape speed is also beyond ordinary people!"
He sighed inwardly. Xiao Yan's methods were truly impressive. Even with Hei Mu's experience, his Dou Technique alone were awe-inspiring.
But the next moment, Hei Mu let out a strange cackling laugh, moved, and slashed fiercely at a certain point in the void with his claw.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Hei Mu frowned again. Beneath his palm was only a tattered robe, and Xiao Yan's figure had vanished without a trace.
"Hehehehe, lucky lad, I'd like to see just how many times you can dodge this!"
Before he could finish speaking, Hei Mu's figure flashed again and disappeared into the void in an instant. At the same time, in a certain void a hundred miles away, the void space suddenly exploded, and a withered claw suddenly reached out from the void and crushed the void beneath it with a single claw.
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, the result was not as ideal as expected; what was grasped in the large palm was still a torn piece of clothing.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, Hei Mu dared not be careless anymore. Xiao Yan's speed was no joke, and he would really have to show some strength to catch him.
With a thought, Hei Mu's figure flickered again. At the same time, his withered claws clenched tightly in a certain place in the void, instantly clamping down on the empty space and sealing everything within it.
"Hmph! Let's see where you can run this time!"
The angry shout abruptly fell, and the Hei Mu claws plunged fiercely into the void, clenching tightly...
This time, the expected blood did not appear. Instead, the expression on Hei Mu's withered face suddenly changed, and he quickly withdrew the claw that had been inserted into the void.
After the claw was withdrawn, a layer of solid ice crystals enveloped it, making it appear like a work of art. However, the claw itself was charred black, as if it had been roasted by fire...
