" The Void Lightning Pool Invitation!"
The words reached everyone's ears, and those present were slightly taken aback. They hadn't expected that these two would actually be willing to use the Void Lightning Pool Invitation as a wager.
However, everyone quickly came to their senses. With Lin Feng and Lin Yu's strength, they naturally did not take Xiao Yan seriously. They only used the Void Thunder Pool Scroll as a wager to ensure that Xiao Yan would accept the challenge on time.
It is believed that Lin Feng and Lin Yu were absolutely confident in defeating Xiao Yan, otherwise they would not have deliberately used the Void Thunder Pool Scroll to lure Xiao Yan away.
Xiao Yan was naturally aware of this. With his shrewdness, such a low-level tactic could not fool him. Of course, Lin Feng and Lin Yu did not expect to use such methods to make Xiao Yan lose himself in greed and desire.
"Oh..."
Xiao Yan sneered, his tone devoid of any emotion. He raised his gaze to Lin Yu opposite him, who was holding a bright silver Void Lightning Pool Invitation between two fingers in his hand.
A barely concealed glint flashed in the depths of Xiao Yan's eyes. These two people had already touched a raw nerve. If possible, he would show no mercy on the battlefield!
Lin Feng and Lin Yu across from them frowned slightly, exchanged another glance, and a hint of doubt flashed deep in their eyes. Their intuition told them that Xiao Yan was not as simple as he seemed.
But when the two looked at Xiao Yan again, he showed them a satisfied smile. The strangeness from a moment ago was gone, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the bet.
"Hehe... You two are certainly generous, but it's good that way; at least it seems fairer this way."
Lin Feng and Lin Yu remained silent for a moment, paying no further attention. They cast a deep glance at Xiao Yan with their gloomy eyes, and then slowly disappeared into the void amidst the various gazes of the crowd.
The departure of Lin Feng and Lin Yu caused the group of half-emperors to whisper among themselves again. They hadn't expected that Xiao Yan, who had only been missing for half a month, would cause such a commotion in this desolate ancient city as soon as he reappeared. It seemed that before the Void Thunder Pool opened, this desolate place was going to be lively again!
Only after Lin Feng and Lin Yu's presence completely disappeared did Xiao Yan's body go limp. Gu Li, who was standing beside him, quickly helped him up, frowning as she looked at Xiao Yan with great concern.
" Yan Xiao, aren't you being a bit too impulsive?"
Gu Li sighed helplessly, glancing at the departing group of half-emperors. Before long, news of Xiao Yan's battle with Lin Feng and Lin Yu three days later would surely spread throughout the Wilderness.
Xiao Yan forced himself to remain calm, shook his head slightly, and after resting for a while, he finally spoke:
"I didn't want to cause such a commotion before the Void Lightning Pool was about to open, but they've already come knocking on my door, and they're even using my friend as a threat. I can't tolerate that..."
"But... are you really confident you can handle them in three days? You've already seen their strength; if..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan shook his head again, raised his head with difficulty, met Gu Li's gaze, and said:
"A few of them have come before. I think that will make them more wary of me, and perhaps it will save me some trouble later."
Gu Li was astonished. The "them" that Xiao Yan was referring to were none other than Mo Zhai and his group. He had been so focused on the battle in the arena that he had overlooked the people outside the battle circle. In that case, they must have witnessed Xiao Yan's use of the ruler technique!
"Sigh... I hope so. They were already wary of you, and now that they've seen your extraordinary strength, they should be more cautious."
Xiao Yan, his face pale, nodded slightly. This was the result he most wanted to see. After all, if the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion was no longer there to restrain them, they would very likely make a move. Although Xiao Yan was not afraid of them, Yan Bing was a major hidden danger. Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious.
Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan hadn't forgotten Lu Du. He landed, Lu Du, who was heavily injured, lay pale and covered in blood in a huge pit. He couldn't believe that Xiao Yan was so terrifying. The Dou Technique he had created with all his life's experience had actually been defeated by a mere Three-Star Half-Emperor.
It's not that Xiao Yan is too strong, but rather that his ruler-style Dou Technique has transcended ordinary High-Level Human Class Dou Technique!
Otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to run rampant at the Half-Emperor level. With Xiao Yan's current abilities, the only way to defeat him would probably be Half-Emperor who has truly reached the Eight-Star level. Moreover, Eight-Star Half-Emperor who can fight Xiao Yan is an extremely rare existence in this Wilderness.
tread
As the footsteps drew closer, Lu Du turned his head with some difficulty to look in the direction from which they came. Gu Li was supporting Xiao Yan, and the two of them were walking slowly toward him.
"You... won."
At this moment, Lu Du no longer possessed the same imposing aura as before. His severe injuries had also brought him back to his senses from his greed. It wasn't Xiao Yan who had overestimated his abilities, but Lu Du himself.
" Nine-Pattern Crystal Card..."
Xiao Yan spoke with some difficulty.
Seeing this, Gu Li curled her lips slightly, muttering to herself, "He beat someone up so badly, and instead of offering a word of comfort, he immediately asks for the Nine-Pattern Crystal Card. Who can say that Xiao Yan isn't greedy?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Du was also helpless. His blood-stained fingers trembled slightly, and the Nine-Pattern Crystal Card shot out towards Xiao Yan in an instant.
Xiao Yan didn't stand on ceremony. He put one hand into his Storage Ring, then flicked his finger, sending a stream of light into Lu Du's hand.
Feeling the terrifying energy contained in the pill in his palm, Lu Du couldn't help but tremble slightly. Emperor Grade Pill!
Gu Li was also slightly surprised, and her gaze towards Xiao Yan held a hint of admiration.
At this moment, Lu Du also cast a grateful glance at Xiao Yan. As Half-Emperor, he had traveled the continent and was naturally very clear about the value of Emperor Grade Pill. Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's willingness to give him this pill showed his calm and composed nature.
"Thank you! I will certainly repay you if I have the chance!"
"I hurt you, this is a kind of compensation, there's no need to thank me."
Xiao Yan shook his head, whispered a few words to Lu Du, and then left with Gu Li.
Lu Du watched Xiao Yan's departing figure, then clenched his fist, tightly holding the Emperor Grade Pill in his hand. After a long while, he finally swallowed it in one gulp.
The great battle above the Ancient Wilderness City subsided, and in just a moment, the entire Wilderness was in an uproar again. Many powerful figures who had witnessed the battle were boasting about the massive scene they had seen in the taverns on the streets, and from time to time, someone would interrupt to correct some of the details of the battle they had witnessed.
While the people of the city were in an uproar because of Xiao Yan, Mo Zhai and others were sitting in a secluded and deserted courtyard in the city.
"I never imagined that Yan Xiao would be so monstrous, managing to overcome a four-star difference to defeat that guy Lu Du. If this brat isn't eliminated, he'll definitely become a major threat in the future!"
Old Monster Hu glanced at the three people in front of him and said in a low voice.
The group nodded slightly upon hearing this. Xiao Yan had surprised them far too much. If they couldn't eliminate Xiao Yan, he would surely become a formidable enemy in the future!
The Seven-Star Half-Emperor named Zhang Hao's gaze narrowed slightly. Judging from the strength Xiao Yan displayed today, he was already fearless in the face of Mid Eight-Star Half-Emperor, so there was no need to say more about facing him.
"Hmph! Judging from that kid's aura, he has clearly reached the Peak of the Late Three-Star Half-Emperor Stage. He's probably entering the Void Lightning Pool this time with the aim of breaking through to four stars!"
Yan Bing spoke indifferently, her gaze fixed on Old Monster Hu across from her, before continuing:
"What do you think we should do to kill him?"
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Hu was speechless. He had also realized this point. In this way, even if Yan Bing and Zhang Hao broke through to the next level, the four of them would still be unable to do anything to Xiao Yan.
"Hehe..."
Seeing the three men with gloomy expressions in front of him, Mo Zhai, sitting to Yan Bing's right, suddenly let out a faint laugh, successfully drawing their attention to himself.
Yan Bing squinted at Mo Zhai with his old eyes, while Old Monster Hu also looked at Mo Zhai with suspicion. Even at a time like this, Mo Zhai was still able to laugh.
"Speak your mind!"
Yan Bing spoke indifferently, his cold words revealing his impatience.
Mo Zhai smiled, slowly rose from his seat at the table, and mysteriously walked around the three of them. With his back to Yan Bing, his pair of gloomy old eyes narrowed into thin lines. After a moment, he slowly spoke.
"Gentlemen, have you ever heard of the Twin Hegemons of the Wilderness?"
