With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan's face immediately revealed a fierce fighting spirit. He tightened his grip on the Heavy Xuan Ruler, let out a sharp shout, and swung his right arm violently. The magnificent Heavy Xuan Ruler rose up like a long banner. As the giant ruler swept across, a ten-thousand-foot-long beam of light shot out, instantly turning the Heaven and Earth in One Color. The colors of everything were completely obscured at this moment. The majestic beam of light tore through the void and, with lightning speed, clashed fiercely with the terrifying sword technique coming straight at him.
But the next moment, both Xiao Yan in the arena and the group of Half-Emperor outside the arena showed expressions of utter shock. It was hard to imagine that Xiao Yan's ruler-shaped beam, which was comparable to High-Level Human Class Dou Technique, would be so ineffective in the face of that sword technique 'Shu'!
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yan's imposing foot-long sword technique was forcibly broken by Lu Du's sword technique "Shu" in just a few breaths!
Lu Du sneered. His 'Suppression' was formed by fusing his own essence and blood, sacrificing his own source to create this strike. How could its power be easily compared to a High-Level Human Class Dou Technique!
Although the sword technique 'Shu' did not reach the level of Spirit Class Dou Technique, its power was far beyond what ordinary Human Class Dou Technique could compare to. Even though Xiao Yan's Ruler of Light was High-Level Human Class Dou Technique, it was still difficult to suppress it.
Xiao Yan, naturally unwilling to be outdone, didn't place all his hopes on that one foot of strength. He knew that a single foot was far from enough to defeat Lu Du, therefore...
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler, Second Ruler!"
With a sharp shout in his heart, he swung the giant ruler again, and as the ruler's light shot out, another magnificent ruler light, no less powerful than the first one, shot out.
Lu Du sneered that Xiao Yan actually dared to use this move, while the crowd outside the arena cast regretful glances at Xiao Yan. Gu Li stared at the Broadsword in Lu Du's hand with a slightly tense expression, not daring to relax in the slightest.
"What on earth is this kid doing?!"
The next instant, the magnificent blade of light was already close to the Broadsword; in just a moment, the two would collide with a deafening roar.
"The third foot!"
With a sudden, sharp shout, Xiao Yan swung the giant ruler in his hand once more, its light shooting out. Just as the Broadsword and the ruler's light were about to collide, Xiao Yan swiftly merged with the dazzling ruler's light, and with the addition of this light, the power emanating from the ruler's light surged once more.
"Four feet!"
However, before anyone could show any surprise, Xiao Yan waved his hands again, the giant ruler flew around, and the Heavenly Flames swelled like a banner in the void, causing the void space to distort continuously.
The giant ruler swept through the void, and a terrifying beam of light shot out again. In an instant, it merged with the previous two beams of light, and its already terrifying power surged once more.
"This..."
Upon seeing this, everyone gaped in astonishment, speechless, staring in disbelief at Xiao Yan, who was still wielding the giant ruler in his hand.
Five feet!
As Xiao Yan let out another fierce shout, the giant ruler in his hand once again swept through the void, Heavenly Flames flew everywhere, and the ruler's light shot out, following closely behind, perfectly merging with the three ruler lights like a wave.
"Buzz!"
As the ruler beams merged, the magnificent ruler beams formed by the fusion of the four ruler beams became even more imposing. Terrifying heat waves continuously swept through this void. Even with the barrier separating them, the people outside still felt an unparalleled and terrifyingly high temperature at this moment.
At this moment, the crowd outside the arena suddenly changed color, and their gazes toward the ruler of light were as if they had seen some kind of primordial beast.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler! The sixth foot!"
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan, whose face had already turned somewhat pale, suddenly roared again in his heart. He swung the giant ruler in his hand, but the brilliant Heavenly Flames on it had dimmed considerably. A heavy sense of fatigue gradually surged into Xiao Yan's mind, but Xiao Yan still swung the giant ruler in his hand with all his might, and the powerful ruler light shot out once again.
He knew that with just four feet of swordsmanship, he was no match for Lu Du's swordsmanship. At best, he could only barely neutralize the latter's strength. To completely defeat him, Xiao Yan would need to unleash another foot of swordsmanship. Only by fighting with all his might could he have a chance to completely defeat Lu Du!
The five feet merged, their power shaking the heavens. The terrifying blade of light divided the entire sky, and its fierce and domineering aura was even stronger than Lu Du's sword technique 'Shu'. Lu Du's expression finally changed at this moment.
With a heavy gaze fixed on Xiao Yan, Lu Du finally felt a sense of powerlessness. He had never imagined that his most terrifying and proudest killing move would be thwarted by Xiao Yan, a mere Three-Star Half-Emperor.
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, Lu Du's grip on the Broadsword loosened with difficulty. Without Lu Du's support, the Broadsword could not withstand the storm caused by the explosion for even a moment before being swept away and plunged deep into the earth below.
The remaining power contained in the magnificent ruler-shaped beam struck Lu Du's chest in the next instant.
Having taken such a terrifying blow head-on, Lu Du was seriously injured on the spot. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the power would be if Xiao Yan were to unleash the Seventh Foot Sword as well!
Outside the arena, everyone stared at Xiao Yan in shock, their eyes filled with deep disbelief.
That strike, powerful enough to rival an Eight-Star Half-Emperor, was instantly defeated after Xiao Yan swung it five feet in succession, leaving him with no chance of recovery.
After this battle, the name of Yan Xiao will once again resound in this Ancient Wilderness City!
He fought against Mid Seven-Star Half-Emperor and even killed a Six-Star Half-Emperor before the battle. Such a record makes Xiao Yan, with his Three-Star Half-Emperor strength, absolutely a legend in battle!
Myths of War!
At this moment, the only word that could be thought of by the crowd outside the arena to describe Xiao Yan's battle was these four words.
Gu Li gradually withdrew the Dou Qi he had raised within his body into his vortex, while the black-robed men on the other side also quietly left after giving Xiao Yan a deep look.
This battle has now come to an end, and needless to say, Xiao Yan is naturally the final victor.
Although he won, Xiao Yan was exhausted, and all his Dou Qi was depleted. In the situation just now, even if he wanted to use the Seventh Foot technique, it would have been completely impossible.
Xiao Yan slowly swept his gaze over the group of Half-Emperor outside the arena, whose eyes were still burning with desire. He knew in his heart that although he was not weak, they would not give up easily either. The temptation of the Void Lightning Pool Invitation, in some ways, even surpassed their concern for their own lives.
Of course, this cannot deny that there are also formidable opponents among these people, and those people would feel a wolf-like greed for Xiao Yan's strength.
Perhaps, the allure of the Void Lightning Pool Invitation and the exhilarating battles were also reasons why they came here.
"Ahem... Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to seize the Lightning Invitation from me?"
Xiao Yan glanced at the crowd outside the arena again and said in a calm tone. At this moment, he was extremely exhausted. The reason he was forcing himself to speak at this time was to make these guys in front of him wary of him, so that they would back down. Only in this way could he reduce some unnecessary trouble for Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one else was willing to step forward.
Having witnessed Xiao Yan's formidable strength, few in the arena now harbored any other thoughts towards Xiao Yan. After all, unlike Lu Du, they didn't possess powerful Dou Technique to support them. If that foot strike had landed on any of them, they would likely have been killed. Naturally, they would avoid it if possible.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he felt much more relieved. It was better to avoid trouble, especially since he was already on the verge of a breakthrough. Too many battles would only accelerate his breakthrough, which was not good news for Xiao Yan, who was currently suppressing his internal Dou Qi.
"Boy, I want your Void Lightning Pool Invitation!"
Just as Xiao Yan felt relieved, a faint, aged voice came again, causing Xiao Yan's expression to change instantly. The speaker was another Seven-Star Half-Emperor!
