"Ha ha ha ha..."
A wild, arrogant laugh echoed across the square, and everyone present could hear a sense of confidence and disdain in it.
" Mu Han, you're right, this is my trump card, but it's more than enough to deal with you."
Xiao Yan stared at Mu Han, grinning coldly.
"Gagagagaga..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Han couldn't help but burst into laughter, his gaze turning icy as he stared at Xiao Yan, and he sneered sharply:
"If you had said that three days ago, I might have actually hesitated to confront these puppets and beasts. But today, they can barely even get close to me. So, what makes you think you can say you have more than enough power?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer, a playful smile playing on his lips. He looked up at the Northern King and Xiao Jin in the sky and suddenly shouted:
"Come back!"
As soon as the shout fell, the Northern King immediately leaped down and was then put into Xiao Yan's Storage Ring. Xiao Jin, on the other hand, looked at Mu Han with resentment and growled a few times before flying down, shrinking its size, and perching on Xiao Yan's shoulder.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had actually taken back the Northern King and Xiao Jin, Mu Han frowned immediately. Xiao Yan's actions made him feel a sense of contempt. Anger suddenly appeared on his icy face, and a surging Spiritual Strength condensed into an invisible tornado around Mu Han. His aura shot straight into the sky like a sword, soaring like a rainbow.
"You overestimate yourself! Without that beast and his puppet, you wouldn't stand a chance against me!"
Mu Han, twisted his wrist, and his cane sank heavily into the bluestone slab beneath his feet. With an invisible energy wave spreading out, the entire square trembled violently at that moment.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan grinned coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He stared at Mu Han with a playful gaze and sneered:
"We're not letting them go because dealing with you doesn't require their involvement. As for what you call 'relying on'... heh..."
Xiao Yan sneered. Mu Han frowned slightly upon hearing Xiao Yan's words. From the beginning, Xiao Yan seemed to have maintained an extremely indifferent attitude, which made Mu Han suspicious. At the same time, he kept glancing at Luo Jin seemed to be the only person in the room who could pose a danger to him.
But when he noticed Luo Jin's completely indifferent expression, his furrowed brows furrowed even more.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh and mocked Mu Han:
"Heh, don't worry, if he really wanted to deal with you, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan clapped his hands three times, the crisp sound echoing like thunder throughout the square.
At the same time, amidst everyone's suspicious gazes, Qing Feng, a robust figure, slowly stepped out from among the people behind Xiao Yan.
With each step he took, the entire plaza trembled slightly. In just a few steps, Qing Feng arrived beside Xiao Yan, a few dozen feet away. He looked at Mu Han opposite him with a mocking smile, a faint hint of disdain in his pair of turquoise eyes.
"Heh... you looked down on my trump card, didn't you? Well then... try it again!"
Xiao Yan's lips slowly curled into a disdainful sneer. With Qing Feng's intervention, even if Mu Han were a true Dou Di expert, let alone just a Nine-Star Half-Emperor, he would still find it difficult to match him.
As Qing Feng stepped out, Mu Han 'Qing Feng eyes were already fixed on him, his old eyes revealing deep shock.
The burly man in front of him, who looked not much older than Xiao Yan, was someone Mu Han couldn't fathom when he looked at him. This fact truly shocked him.
To be able to perfectly conceal one's aura under the soul probing of someone at the Late Realm of Unity, one would either need Spiritual Strength far exceeding his own, reaching the Late Realm of Unity Perfection, or one's own cultivation level having already reached a level that even he dared not easily imagine...
Dou Di!
Upon thinking of this, Mu Han was suddenly startled, a sense of fear slowly rising in his heart, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
Regardless of his age, in terms of strength alone, if either of the two conditions mentioned above is met, it would be a terrifying power capable of taking his life, and he would have absolutely no chance of resisting such power.
Xiao Yan looked at Mu Han with a cold smile, raised his right arm, pointed at Qing Feng beside him, and sneered:
"This is what I rely on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Feng, who was standing to the side, also released his Dou Di aura slightly. Instantly, everyone present, except for those with Xiao Yan and his group, whether it was Mu Han in the arena or the crowd outside, knelt down. A large area of houses in the north of the city collapsed under this pressure.
At this moment, everyone was filled with deep fear. Faced with this oppressive aura, they all knelt on the ground without exception, unable to stand up or even speak.
In the center of the square, Gu Li and the others also looked at the burly man standing next to Xiao Yan with fear on their faces, their mouths agape, their hearts filled with horror.
It's hard to imagine that this seemingly young man possesses such terrifying strength, having already reached the level of Dou Di!
Dou Di!
A true powerhouse!
Only by reaching this level can one truly be considered among the strongest on the continent!
If there is a dividing line between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng, then there is an even greater dividing line between Half-Emperor and Dou Di.
Although Half-Emperor is powerful, when considered on the entire continent, they can only be arguably called a strongman.
There's a saying that's been circulating on the mainland: You might become Half-Emperor, but you might not necessarily become Dou Di; you might be exceptionally talented, but you might also be forever destined to never become Dou Di.
One reason for this is their talent for cultivation, while another reason is the greatest difficulty they faced when breaking through to the Dou Di.
Emperor Tribulation!
The Emperor Tribulation has always been considered a key test of a strong person, and it also further distinguishes between Half-Emperor and Dou Di powerhouses.
In a sense, the Emperor Tribulation is the so-called "watershed" between Half-Emperor and Dou Di.
Those who survive the Emperor Tribulation Nirvana be reborn as a powerful Dou Di, revered by the people of the continent, with limitless potential for future cultivation. Conversely, those who fail to survive the Emperor Tribulation will not only lack reverence, but may not even be able to save their lives.
This truly embodies the saying that life and death are preordained, and wealth and honor are determined by fate!
