"What!"
Xiao Yan was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Mu Han's formation to be so terrifying that even his Ancient Emperor Seal couldn't get close to him.
"Hmph! Kid, you think you can break my Vajra Formation with your Dou Technique? Get out of my way!"
Sensing Xiao Yan's surprise behind him, Mu Han immediately sneered, his body trembled, and the immense force sent Xiao Yan flying back dozens of feet. He then turned around and charged towards Xiao Yan.
Now that he has the Vajra Formation protecting him, Xiao Yan's ordinary Dou Technique can't even touch him, while his Vajra Formation can overwhelm Xiao Yan in the most powerful and domineering way.
"Tch... I thought you were all that capable, but it turns out you're just a fast runner. Speed isn't the key to victory; only strength can dominate a battle!"
Mu Han spoke with disdain, completely forgetting the serious attitude he had previously held towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils fixed on Mu Han, his heart heavy.
After the clash just now, Xiao Yan had gained a general understanding of Mu Han's Vajra Formation.
The Vajra Formation's defense is extremely terrifying. Although it cannot trap opponents like the God-Trapping Formation, it can increase one's own defense several times over. Xiao Yan's Ancient Emperor Seal just now didn't even have the ability to activate the Vajra Formation, which shows just how terrifying this Vajra Formation is.
Seeing Mu Han charging towards him, Xiao Yan frowned. He couldn't make a move until he broke the Vajra Formation. If he wanted to seriously injure Mu Han, he had to get close.
"Since I can't break through your defenses from the outside, I'll try from the inside!"
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself.
The next moment, as Mu Han approached Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan shifted his feet and instantly unleashed the Heavenly Severing Steps. Amidst the rising wind and surging clouds, Xiao Yan once again abruptly disappeared.
"You brat, is all you can do to hide?!"
Although he was fast, Mu Han still missed, and immediately couldn't help but curse angrily.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sneered inwardly. "You, a Nine-Star Half-Emperor, bullying me, a Three-Star Half-Emperor, is one thing, but to act like you're superior and won't let me dodge? Do you expect me to just stand there and let you hit me?"
Mu Han's words not only made Xiao Yan sneer, but also the Half-Emperor on the periphery couldn't help but let out bursts of mocking laughter. This made Mu Han's face turn pale and then red, extremely ugly. His strong figure stood motionless in the void, his face gloomy and silent.
"Now!"
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yan shouted in his heart. With a thought, his right arm was once again covered by purple-gold Long Lin. His huge dragon claw suddenly clenched, and Dou Qi rapidly gathered in his palm. In a flash, he appeared directly in front of Mu Han. Before the latter could react, a fierce punch slammed into the Vajra Formation protecting Mu Han.
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
"Clang!"
With a punch, Mu Han staggered back two steps, while Xiao Yan was thrown back nearly a hundred feet by the rebound force of the Vajra Formation.
"Haha, you little brat, you actually think you can break through my defenses? Do you really think it's possible!"
"Ha... how will you know if you don't try!"
Faced with Mu Han's disdainful mockery, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, his eyes narrowed, and he charged at Mu Han again.
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Faced with Xiao Yan's attack, Mu Han surprisingly showed a nonchalant expression, standing still and waiting for Xiao Yan's attack.
Xiao Yan's eyes sharpened, and his Dou Qi rapidly condensed in his palm. He then slammed his fist hard onto the Vajra Formation on Mu Han's body.
"Clang!"
A crisp, bell-like sound lingered, and the void around Mu Han's body was rapidly distorted before finally exploding with a bang.
At the same time, Xiao Yan's figure retreated another hundred feet.
However, no sooner had he stopped than Xiao Yan stepped into the void again, unleashing the Heavenly Severing Steps repeatedly. The wind howled in the dark space as Xiao Yan Xiao Yan bombarded the Vajra Formation with his Eight Extremes Collapse punches, repeatedly sending him flying back more than a hundred miles away.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan's face became even paler, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. With each breath, a faint, sweet, metallic scent could be felt wafting down his throat.
The repeated backlashes from the Vajra Formation caused Xiao Yan considerable damage. If it weren't for his strong physique, Xiao Yan probably wouldn't even be able to stand up right now.
"Clang!"
Once again, Xiao Yan was thrown back a hundred miles by the Vajra Formation, and his face paled even more. However, his usually calm eyes were now filled with a bright and sharp light.
"Hahaha, brat, my Vajra Formation cannot be broken even by the full force of Eight-Star Half-Emperor. As for you, although your overall strength is not weaker than an ordinary Eight-Star Half-Emperor, in front of me you are still just a Three-Star Half-Emperor! Trying to break my Vajra Formation is just asking for trouble!"
Mu Han's cloudy old eyes were filled with endless mockery. A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he stared at Xiao Yan and said disdainfully.
Xiao Yan let out a soft breath and shook his somewhat numb right arm. The moment the numbness was gone, his enormous dragon claw suddenly clenched, and the space in his palm was crushed, producing a soft explosion.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face pale. In his pair of dark eyes, a dazzling Heavenly Flames was burning. He parted Xiao Yan lips slightly and let out a sharp, abrupt shout, like a clear thunderclap, echoing endlessly.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Every word resonated in the hearts of those present, causing them to furrow their brows. These seemingly simple words contained a subtle yet palpable pressure, and what terrified them even more was that they were utterly powerless against that pressure.
"Hmph! Just trying to be mysterious!"
Mu Han, clearly having absolute confidence in his Vajra Formation. He didn't believe anyone below the level of Nine-Star Half-Emperor could break through his defenses!
Above the void, Zhong Li stared at Mu Han with a solemn expression, glancing at Xiao Yan with slight worry. Although Xiao Yan had already surprised him quite a bit, he still couldn't believe that Xiao Yan actually wanted to break Mu Han's Vajra Formation. This thing, let alone Xiao Yan, even he, who had only one foot in the door, couldn't break it!
"Clang!"
Another loud bang rang out, but this time, Xiao Yan was not blasted away. Although some blood gushed from his mouth, Xiao Yan stood firmly in front of Mu Han, without retreating an inch.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was still coughing up blood, Mu Han immediately sneered, his cold gaze looking down at Xiao Yan as he mocked:
"I told you, you have no chance against my Vajra..."
" Eight Extremes Collapse, Explode!"
Before Mu Han could finish speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly shouted out with a fierce expression.
The next moment, terrifying hidden energy suddenly erupted from the Vajra Formation protecting Mu Han, like a landmine that had been planted beforehand being detonated, causing it to explode with a bang.
Mu Han's expression changed slightly. Under his perception, the power on the Vajra Formation was rapidly decreasing. Although it was not enough to break the formation, it was the first time in many years that Mu Han had seen it to this extent.
Of course, Mu Han wasn't the only one who was incredibly surprised. Those who also sensed the changes in energy on the Vajra Formation also had their expressions change drastically in an instant, and were filled with immense horror.
They never expected that Mu Han's seemingly unbreakable Vajra Formation would lose its luster in front of Xiao Yan.
"Hmph! You little rascal, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. Looks like I need to get serious with you!"
Mu Han let out a cold shout and was about to make a move, but Xiao Yan beat him to it. With a wave of his sleeve, countless transparent jade bottles shot out and bombarded the Vajra Formation one after another. The energy mist they generated obscured Mu Han's vision, buying Xiao Yan a moment of time.
"You want to kill me? In your next life! Break!"
With an extremely cold and sharp shout, Xiao Yan's right fist slammed into the Vajra Formation once again. This time, the power attached to his fist far exceeded that of before. The moment Xiao Yan threw his punch, with a "poof," a dazzling Heavenly Flames flew out along with the friction of the wind, turning his entire right arm into a Heavenly Flames arm.
"Boom!"
With a single punch, the space trembled, but the Vajra Formation before him ultimately remained unbroken. However, instead of showing a solemn expression, Xiao Yan gradually revealed a cold smile.
"Now! Drink!"
As he retracted his right fist, Xiao Yan let out another earth-shattering roar, and his left arm, which had remained still, suddenly shot up.
His long sleeves slid down, revealing his fair palms. In Xiao Yan's left palm, a magnificent flaming wheel, its light subdued and its sharpness concealed, was slowly swirling.
The flaming wheel resembled a ring of fire, rotating counter-clockwise. At the very center of the ring was a tiny, black dot the size of a thumb. As the flaming wheel rotated, an aura emanating from it sent a chill down one's spine.
The moment the flaming wheel appeared, everyone in this space changed their expressions instantly. Before they could even react, Xiao Yan's left palm had already controlled the flaming wheel and slammed it hard into the Vajra Formation in front of them.
" Buddha's Fury Reincarnation! Break!"
With another low shout, before the wheel in Xiao Yan's hand could fully unleash its power, the Vajra Formation beneath it, which had condensed Vajra Shield, shattered with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Han came to her senses and, just as she withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Yan, what came towards her was a Heavenly Flames wheel the size of a washbasin.
The moment Mu Han saw the roulette wheel, his expression changed drastically. The feeling this fiery roulette wheel gave him was a deep unease deep within his heart, a feeling he had never experienced even when facing Nine-Star Half-Emperor!
However, before Mu Han could fully recover, a tiny black dot the size of a thumb flickered slightly in the center of the flame wheel. With a thought, Xiao Yan unleashed a jet-black energy beam nearly a hundred feet in diameter, which slammed into Mu Han.
