Within the Void Lightning Pool, a fierce battle is raging.
Yan Bing fought alone against Gu Li and Chi Lin, yet he held his own and even had some room to maneuver, which made him more comfortable in the battle.
On the other hand, the battle between Zhang Hao and the Northern King was much more clearly divided.
The Northern King was merely a puppet, but unlike the others, he was not an ordinary puppet.
When Xiao Yan was refining the Northern King, he sealed all the combat experience of the North Dragon King's original body into it. This allowed the Northern King to unleash the full power of Six-Star Half-Emperor without feeling pain.
Furthermore, with this indestructible puppet body, even with Zhang Hao's strength as Seven-Star Half-Emperor, he was unable to break through the Northern King's physical body. Therefore, under the Northern King's most primal and violent punches and kicks, Zhang Hao, who was at the Peak of the Late Seven-Star Half-Emperor Stage, could only be forced to endure the beating.
Currently, Yan Bing is being restrained by Gu Li Chi Lin, and Zhang Hao is being brutally attacked by the Northern King. The only people who are still standing steadily in the void are Xiao Yan, Mo Zhai, Old Monster Hu, and the strongest person present, Mu Han, Nine-Star Half-Emperor.
While the battle on the field was raging fiercely, those Half-Emperor who had originally come to cultivate and absorb the power of lightning on the outskirts of the battlefield were all dumbfounded when they saw Xiao Yan blast a Seven-Star Half-Emperor away in the most violent way.
They had all heard of Xiao Yan's strength and knew that Xiao Yan had defeated several Seven-Star Half-Emperor, but to see him send a Seven-Star Half-Emperor flying with a single slap like today was something they had never witnessed before.
"Tsk tsk... This Yan Xiao is truly a heaven-defying figure. Three-Star Half-Emperor blasted away Seven-Star Half-Emperor. If this news gets out, Yan Xiao's name will probably shake the entire Southern Region!"
"Hey, not only that, not only is his master incredibly powerful, but even his puppet is just as formidable!"
"A puppet with the strength of Half-Emperor —in the entire Southern Region, perhaps only that one faction possesses such a thing!"
"Could it be that Yan Xiao comes from there?"
Several Half-Emperor stared at the Northern King, who was brutally beating Zhang Hao, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing that faction's name, the expressions of the several Half-Emperor around them changed slightly. If that was the case, then Yan Xiao was even more someone they couldn't afford to provoke!
"Well... in any case, everyone, if it's necessary later, I think it would be best to lend a hand to him. After all, regardless of whether Yan Xiao is actually affiliated with any faction, his future growth potential is something we can all see. Helping him once won't be a loss."
After a moment of contemplation, an elderly man whose strength had reached the level of Eight-Star Half-Emperor quietly spoke to the others beside him.
Upon hearing the old man's words, the other Half-Emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at each other and shook their heads.
The growth potential of Yan Xiao is indeed worthy of the most people's help, but we must not forget that Xiao Yan is facing more than just Eight-Star Half-Emperor.
As Nine-Star Half-Emperor, Mu Han is a true giant in the Ancient Wilderness City. Even if Xiao Yan has terrifying talent, what can he do in front of Mu Han? He still cannot escape the fate of being killed.
Therefore, these Half-Emperor- emperors would not risk provoking a Nine-Star Half-Emperor for the sake of a dying person.
Seeing this, the old man, who was an Eight-Star Half-Emperor, could only sigh helplessly and say no more, turning his head to continue watching the battle.
"Hey, you surnamed Hu, go help that guy Yan Bing. I'm going to deal with that kid myself."
Seeing that Old Monster Hu, who was standing next to Mo Zhai, was also staring at Xiao Yan, Mu Han frowned and said to the latter in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Hu's relaxed brows furrowed. He glanced at Mu Han and found that the latter was looking at him with a sideways expression. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, Old Monster Hu could only nod silently in response to the latter's strength.
Old Monster Hu glanced casually at Mo Zhai, who was watching coldly from the side, then narrowed his eyes and flew towards the battle circle of Yan Bing and the other two.
As it passed by Xiao Yan, a faint voice, audible only to him, reached his ears.
"Hold Yan Bing back for me."
The simple words made Old Monster Hu's eyes sharpen instantly. He nodded almost imperceptibly, and his speed increased dramatically.
After passing Xiao Yan, Old Monster Hu's figure swiftly charged towards the battle circle where Yan Bing was.
Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile as he raised his gaze, which met Mu Han's eyes.
Mu Han stared intently at Xiao Yan, and seeing the cold smile on the latter's lips, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. With a cold snort, Mu Han cast aside his concerns and stepped through the void, walking towards Xiao Yan step by step.
Facing Mu Han head-on, Xiao Yan slowly suppressed the cold smile on his lips, his Dou Qi quietly circulating throughout his body, ready to deal with Mu Han's attack at any moment.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Old Monster Hu's figure had already appeared not far behind Yan Bing.
Sensing the aura of Old Monster Hu behind him, Yan Bing frowned slightly. Old Monster Hu's actions made him feel a little strange. But then, Gu Li Chi Lin in front of him once again used their Dou Technique and attacked him fiercely.
Facing the two people in front of him, Yan Bing dared not be careless in the slightest. As his Dou Qi surged wildly, various terrifying Dou Technique were constantly unleashed to block the two people in front of him.
However, just as the battle between the three became increasingly intense, a withered hand, carrying unparalleled power, solidly imprinted itself on Yan Bing Yan Bing's back from behind.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the Dou Qi that had been gathered in his palm poured out wildly, invading Yan Bing's body and destroying his internal organs, meridians, and Dou Qi with overwhelming force.
At the same time, Yan Bing's body suddenly froze. The Dou Technique in his palm lost the support of his Dou Qi. Under the impact of Gu Li and the other two, it only lasted for a few breaths before it exploded with a bang. The remaining power bombarded Yan Bing's body, causing him to fly backward uncontrollably.
This scene shocked Mo Zhai and the others present, their faces filled with horror. They never imagined that in this battle that seemed certain to be won, Old Monster Hu, Eight-Star Half-Emperor, would suddenly betray them at such a moment. It was truly unbelievable!
It should be understood that in such a high-level battle, the defection of even a single Half-Emperor could have a huge impact on the entire battle situation. Therefore, Old Monster Hu's sudden betrayal at this moment is what makes them feel terrified.
Moreover, those Half-Emperor- emperors watching from the sidelines were quite surprised to see that Old Monster Hu, who was originally on Mo Zhai's side, had suddenly turned against them.
They all knew that Old Monster Hu was paid to do good deeds, and in principle he should have done his best to help Mo Zhai. However, the current situation was exactly the opposite.
At this moment, not only Mo Zhai, but even outsiders like them, were somewhat unable to fathom the reason behind this.
