The Spatial Curtain is a method of controlling the Great Dao of the Void that Xiao Yan comprehended after absorbing countless bolts of lightning in the Lightning Pool.
This method allows Xiao Yan to perform a spatial jump in a very short time, and the speed of the spatial jump is unmatched even by Nine-Star Half-Emperor. Therefore, this can be considered another major trump card for Xiao Yan.
With Xiao Yan's current abilities, he can only condense Spatial Curtain within a ten-zhang radius around himself. Therefore, it is impractical to use it for escaping in actual combat. However, as for actual combat, Xiao Yan has come up with an excellent idea from this.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler! Five feet!"
Above the void, Xiao Yan's figure, which had vanished a moment ago, reappeared. At the same time, one of the Six Paths Curtain also dissipated. The instant Xiao Yan reappeared, the massive Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand slammed down.
He uttered a low shout, and a crimson beam of Dou Qi aura suddenly flashed from the tip of the giant ruler. The next moment, a magnificent beam of light shot out from the tip of the ruler, growing larger and larger in the wind, transforming into a magnificent beam of light that was hundreds of feet long, shooting straight towards Zou Shan, who was currently resisting the fourth beam of light.
"Bang!"
With a single strike, a blade of light shot out, catching Zou Shan off guard. The blade landed squarely on him, and the terrifying power contained within it erupted in full at that moment.
As the loud bang subsided, Zou Shan's body was sent flying uncontrollably, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his breath grew weak.
Connecting five feet in such a short time was already a considerable burden for him. Moreover, each foot of Xiao Yan's connection was equivalent to a Human Class Dou Technique. Even if Zou Shan was Eight-Star Half-Emperor, he would still be unable to withstand it.
When this scene unfolded, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd below.
Clearly, even though they had heard about Xiao Yan's many achievements, seeing is believing. Now, witnessing firsthand how Zou Shan, an Eight-Star Half-Emperor, was forced to retreat and vomit blood by Xiao Yan, a Five-Star Half-Emperor, only made everyone even more shocked by Xiao Yan's strength.
Meanwhile, the name Yan Xiao was quickly etched into the minds of everyone in Lengcui City.
Compared to the shock of the crowd, Xiao Yan was much calmer. Although he was equally confident in his five-foot strength, he also knew that with just that five-foot strength, he could at most injure Zou Shan, but it was still a step short of truly seriously damaging him.
Therefore, after unleashing the fifth sword, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan not dare to hesitate. With a thought, his black robe suddenly billowed, and a burst of dark light enveloped him.
In an instant, Xiao Yan's figure disappeared, while at the same time, in another place, the last of the Six Paths Curtain, the pitch-black heavy ruler had somehow appeared and stood in the void.
A powerful hand gripped the giant ruler tightly, and crimson flames shot into the sky, its surging momentum shaking heaven and earth. Everyone present couldn't help but reveal a deep sense of solemnity when they looked at the ruler's light.
Even a powerful Half-Emperor like himself looked at Xiao Yan with deep apprehension in his eyes.
To be able to unleash such power with the cultivation of Five-Star Half-Emperor, such a person is no ordinary person.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler! Six feet!"
A low shout rang out, and a six-foot sword was swung out with overwhelming force. A wave of scorching Dou Qi aura quickly swept outwards, and the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly rose.
As the giant ruler was swung out, another stunning beam of light stood between heaven and earth, like a crimson waterfall cascading down from the heavens. The destructive aura contained within it was enough to make even Half-Emperor powerhouse feel ashamed.
If this attack lands, Zou Shan will either survive or be severely injured.
But, in the very next moment...
"Hmph! You arrogant brat, have you forgotten that I, the venerable one, am here?"
At the critical moment, the other Eight-Star Half-Emperor, Ruo Shui, who was originally fighting against Xiao Yan's avatar, arrived just in time. With a wave of his arm, a slender and long, light green sword appeared in the latter's hand.
" Ruo Water Sword!"
With a swift stroke, Ruo Shui slashed vertically, unleashing a beam of emerald light that surged forward, transforming into a streak of light ten thousand feet long, fiercely meeting Xiao Yan's blade of light head-on.
"Boom!"
A deafening, terrifying roar suddenly swept across the area, and a blinding white light obscured the sun's radiance. At that moment, the sky and the ground were shrouded in a blinding white light, and no one could open their eyes. Under that sword-like sharp white light, even with their eyes closed, they could not completely escape it.
Under the blanket of white light, even the battle between Xiao Jin Northern King and the middle-aged giant on the other side was forced to stop.
This demonstrates just how immense the power of this clash between Xiao Yan and Ruo Shui truly was!
After a long while, when the white light dissipated, everyone removed their hands from their eyes. Their eyelids fluttered slightly as the familiar sunlight shone into their eyes, and the world before them became real again.
When everyone looked up, they saw that both battles in the sky had been forced to stop due to the fierce collision, but judging from the increasingly tense atmosphere, an even more terrifying storm seemed to be brewing.
The middle-aged man faced the Northern King and Xiao Jin with a solemn expression. Under the combined attack of the two Nine-Star Half-Emperor, he was the strongest person in the arena at the moment, but at the same time, he was also the most disheveled.
The majestic aura of the Nine-Star Half-Emperor had vanished, and his vast and powerful Dou Qi had become thin and weak. He looked like he was already on the verge of collapse, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated.
In contrast, the black Xiao Jin enveloping Northern King Northern King's body was now much stronger. During the battle, the unrefined lightning within him was gradually devoured, making his power grow stronger and stronger, and he became more and more courageous in battle.
Xiao Jin's eyes were filled with excitement. Since his breakthrough, he had not had a truly exhilarating battle. Even his battle with Mu Han ended hastily, which prevented Xiao Jin from fully utilizing his strength. This battle was actually an advantage for him.
"Hmph, kid, your strength is indeed much greater than we imagined. If Zou Shan were facing you alone, he wouldn't stand a chance today. However... unfortunately, there are two of us. You alone are facing two Eight-Star Half-Emperor. It's absolutely impossible for you to defeat us!"
Ruo Shui stared coldly at Xiao Yan, whose aura was slightly weak, her sharp eyes occasionally casting a serious glance at Xiao Yan.
Regardless of whether Xiao Yan is defeated today, his feat of single-handedly facing two Eight-Star Half-Emperor is already enough for him to be proud of!
At this moment, Xiao Yan appeared slightly weak. After using six Spatial Curtain and then the Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler, it was a huge drain on Xiao Yan Dou Qi.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's remaining Dou Qi was less than three-fifths of his peak level, which is enough to show how much Dou Qi was consumed by using the Spatial Curtain.
Of course, it is evident that while Xiao Yan's internal Dou Qi was rapidly depleted, the effects of the Spatial Curtain far exceeded Xiao Yan expectations.
This unexpected and rapid attack method can put tremendous psychological pressure on the opponent, and at the same time, it greatly increases Xiao Yan's chances of winning in battle. For Xiao Yan, who is often in the eye of the storm, this is undoubtedly an excellent attack method.
Although this method of bombardment seemed somewhat negative, Xiao Yan understood the situation despite his helplessness.
Born in a chaotic world, sometimes you have to rely on all sorts of means to survive.
Powerful Dou Technique, unpredictable movement skills, miraculous secret arts, Spiritual Strength, elixirs, formations, and so on—aren't these all the methods of cultivators?
Driven by the allure of power, everyone, whether actively or passively, is constantly developing in this direction.
In many cases, the type of means used does not determine a person's character. Just as one cannot judge a person by their appearance, things that seem beautiful are not necessarily beautiful. As for the means used, they vary from person to person.
When people are kind, things are kind; when people are wicked, things are wicked.
" Elder Gu, could you lend me a hand?"
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, slowly raised his gaze, and looked at Ruo Shui opposite him. Beside him, Zou Shan's slightly weak figure also rose into the air again, staring at Xiao Yan with a sinister look, a hint of fear showing deep in his eyes.
He never imagined that he, a dignified Eight-Star Half-Emperor, would suffer such a humiliation at the hands of a mere Five-Star Half-Emperor.
Xiao Yan gazed at Zou Shan Ruo Shui, muttering to himself as his Dou Qi surged within him.
"Call--"
A sharp gust of wind suddenly howled between heaven and earth. Xiao Yan stood in the wind, and an invisible whirlwind swept outwards from Xiao Yan as the center. With a thought, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan a burst of brilliant Heavenly Flames from the soles of his feet, which quickly engulfed his entire body.
An extremely terrifying aura rapidly spread from Xiao Yan's body.
Everyone present changed their expression at that moment.
In the sky, Zou Shan Ruo Shui sensed the powerful aura emanating from Xiao Yan's body. Their expressions changed slightly as they exchanged a glance, both revealing a solemn look in their eyes.
"This kid is strange, we can't be careless. Let's attack together and take him down! If we can capture him, the two of us can both advance to the Nine-Star Half-Emperor level! Charge!"
Zou Shan Ruo Shui out a sharp shout at the same time, and then his figure moved, and his Dou Qi surged wildly as he rushed towards Xiao Yan.
Facing the two charging towards him, Xiao Yan slowly raised his eyes, which were enveloped in flames, and stared at them, silently thinking to himself.
" Intent Class Dou Technique... Heart-Shattering Palm!"
