"Boom!"
As the two Dou Technique descended, a deafening explosion resounded from the spot where Xiao Yan had just stood in the void. The violent Dou Qi energy swept across the area, and the energy mist generated after the explosion spread out.
Everyone present witnessed the moment when Xiao Yan was struck by Lin Feng and Lin Yu's fighting techniques. Immediately, many people in the crowd felt sorry and heartbroken for Xiao Yan. Even if they didn't feel it sincerely, they still showed some emotion on the surface.
As expected, despite Xiao Yan's talent and supernatural abilities, he was ultimately unable to withstand the combined power of the two Seven-Star Half-Emperor.
These two terrifying Dou Technique would not fare much better even against some Eight-Star Half-Emperor, let alone Xiao Yan, a Three-Star Half-Emperor.
Lin Feng and Lin Yu, who were in the arena at this moment, were well aware of this. Both of those fighting techniques were their signature skills, and their power was naturally extraordinary. If both fighting techniques were to strike Xiao Yan at the same time, even if he had ten lives, he would definitely not survive the aftershocks of the explosion!
"Hahahaha! You greenhorn, you really think you can fight the two of us old men just because you have some skills? Hmph, you're courting death!"
Lin Feng waved his sleeve, and a cold wind blew by, dispersing the clouds and mist. Sure enough, the void above was empty, with nothing left.
Upon seeing this, the crowd outside immediately lost interest in continuing to watch, and many people began to fly towards the distant city.
They came to watch because of Xiao Yan. When they first saw Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan spirits, they thought he still had a chance to turn the tide. But now Xiao Yan has been destroyed by the explosion and turned into nothingness, without even a trace of his breath. This has left them with no reason to stay.
In contrast to them, Gu Li and Chi Lin, who were outside the arena, stared at the void where the explosion had occurred with their cloudy old eyes, their brows furrowed and their eyes full of suspicion.
"Hehe, it seems he's alright. Yan Xiao... he's really something!"
At this moment, even Elder Xuan, who had been secretly worried about Xiao Yan, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the Lin brothers, Lin Feng and Lin Yu, who were present at the moment, the sense of pleasure that had just risen in their hearts because of Yan Xiao's death was immediately covered by a solemn expression after seeing the empty void.
After Lin Feng, with a solemn expression, carefully scanned the ground below with his Spiritual Strength, he still couldn't find the item. A strange emotion finally rose within him...
"Impossible!"
"To withstand our combined full-force attack..."
"He absolutely could not do it!"
"No!"
"Impossible!"
The world before them contained nothing they had hoped to see.
Storage Ring
The special nature of the Storage Ring makes it difficult to be destroyed even under the pressure of various energies. As Half-Emperor, Xiao Yan has so many high-level Dou Technique, so his Storage Ring is naturally no less powerful. Although the attack from the two brothers just now was not weak, it still couldn't destroy the Storage Ring.
But now that Xiao Yan is dead, and his Storage Ring is not in this space, there are only two plausible explanations...
Firstly, the Storage Ring was caught in the spatial turbulence during the explosion. If that's the case, the Storage Ring can no longer be retrieved.
Importantly, however, no spatial turbulence was generated during the Big Bang!
That leaves only the second reason.
Upon thinking of this, Lin Feng and Lin Yu's expressions changed drastically. Standing together due to the pressure they felt, the thought of this second possibility immediately made their expressions turn extremely heavy.
"Oh..."
A faint, cold laugh, like a gentle breeze, reached everyone's ears, instantly invigorating those present.
In contrast, Lin Feng and Lin Yu looked like wilted eggplants, as if they had already foreseen their own demise.
"It's Yan Xiao! He's not dead! He's still alive!"
"That's right! It really is Yan Xiao! He's not dead! And judging from his appearance, he seems to have become even stronger!"
Xiao Yan reappeared out of nowhere, and the crowd outside the arena immediately erupted in a deafening gasp. Who could have imagined that Xiao Yan, who had been sentenced to death just a moment ago, would stand atop this Ancient Wilderness City with the aura of a king?
At this moment, Xiao Yan was dressed in a snow-white robe, and his black hair had turned ashen white in the blink of an eye. With a slight wave of his fingers, dazzling sparks shot out.
Standing on the void, Xiao Yan looked down at the two figures directly below him, a chilling killing intent filling his heart.
He always believed in "I won't offend others unless they offend me," but these two brothers went too far. They committed almost every crime Xiao Yan Xiao Yan possibly commit. How could Xiao Yan tolerate such behavior? How could he let such people go?
Lin Feng and Lin Yu slowly raised their heads with terrified expressions. Xiao Yan's robe had changed color, but he seemed like a completely different person. Not only was his strength more terrifying, but even his aura made them feel as if the blood in their bodies was about to be frozen.
"Whoosh!"
A short but sharp whooshing sound rang out, like thunder or a roar, instantly making Lin Feng break out in a cold sweat, because the sound was right next to his ear!
"Many people have threatened me, but I have never been threatened. You are the first person to successfully threaten me in my entire career... Congratulations..."
The cold, emotionless voice seemed to emanate from the depths of hell. Lin Feng felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his body tightly in its palm, ready to crush him at any moment, as easily as crushing an ant.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's pupils constricted to the size of pinpoints, his already labored breathing faltered, and his face turned ashen.
Xiao Yan's ghostly speed was simply unimaginable; it far surpassed the level of Half-Emperor...
"Wh... what..."
Only then did Lin Yu, who was standing to the side, come to his senses. Just a moment ago, his mind had also gone blank, and his eyes were lifeless. If the two of them hadn't had their own souls, he probably wouldn't have been able to come to his senses either.
Xiao Yan remained indifferent. Although the two people before him were filled with regret, reality was reality, and there was no going back.
At the same time, Xiao Yan sneered inwardly. When Lin Feng and Lin Yu were powerful, they took it for granted to suppress him in every way. But now, when they saw him, they were as fearful as mice seeing cats.
Thinking of this again, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't want to kill, but unfortunately, everyone in the world seemed to be against him. He had always wanted to head south, but he couldn't make a single step forward, and the days to come would be even more so.
Among the Half-Emperor, Xiao Yan could still use his powerful Dou Technique to hold his own for a time. But what would happen if he encountered a true Dou Di, or if he himself reached that level in the future...?
Gu You couldn't stay by Xiao Yan's side forever, and he couldn't always help Xiao Yan. One day, for the sake of his mission, he would transform into the primordial fire and merge into Xiao Yan's body. At that time, no matter what kind of opponent or enemy Xiao Yan encountered, he would have to face them alone.
