Western Region, Lengcui City.
In the sky, Xiao Yan exuded an extremely terrifying aura. His two fair hands froze in mid-air; with a single strike, death would ensue.
As Xiao Yan withdrew his hand, his eyes flashing with cold light, Zou Shan Xiao Yan Ruo Shui, who had been charging towards him, suddenly froze. When they looked down, they saw that Xiao Yan's hands were already pressed against their chests.
At the same time, the seventh tent behind Xiao Yan also vanished...
Having exhausted all his Dou Qi, Xiao Yan condensed a seventh barrier after exerting all his strength. With lightning speed and the terrifying power of the Heart-Shattering Palm, he killed the two Eight-Star Half-Emperor in front of him in one move.
The moment Xiao Yan's palms landed on their hearts, all the Xiao Yan in his body was completely Dou Qi. With the help of the Gu You within him, all the Dou Qi, along with the power of the Bone Nether, condensed into terrifying energy in Xiao Yan's palms. With a thought from Xiao Yan, the terrifying energy instantly erupted.
As Zou Shan Ruo Shui regained their senses, they suddenly felt a tearing pain in their chests, followed immediately by a domineering and terrifying battle Dou Qi that appeared in their bodies without warning.
The moment the Dou Qi appeared, it immediately began to rage wildly within the bodies of Zou Shan Ruo Shui.
Caught completely off guard, this terrifying Dou Qi utterly destroyed their bodies, shattering all their internal organs and meridians. At the same time, their souls were also destroyed by this power.
As their pupils dilated infinitely, all the life force in the eyes of the two Eight-Star Half-Emperor vanished in an instant.
At the same time, the terrifying Dou Qi that had surged like a tidal wave in his palm just a second ago dissipated freely into the world like a gentle breeze in the next instant.
Thus, two more Eight-Star Half-Emperor experts have perished under Xiao Yan's grasp.
It must be said that the terror of Intent Class Dou Technique is truly incomparable to ordinary Dou Technique.
Even though Xiao Yan couldn't unleash the full power of the Heart-Shattering Palm, the two Eight-Star Half-Emperor, who were usually invincible, were instantly killed by Xiao Yan's palm.
The Intent Class Dou Technique are truly terrifying!
It's hard to imagine how terrifying the power Xiao Yan Xiao Yan would unleash if he were to unleash the full power of the Heart-Shattering Palm in the future!
I'm afraid even Dou Di expert would no longer be a match for Xiao Yan!
Regardless of what happens in the future, the immediate fact is that two Eight-Star Half-Emperor level experts have fallen before everyone's eyes.
In Lengcui City, countless people stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding in the sky. Xiao Yan stood in the void, his hands poised to strike forward, while opposite him, two bodies, devoid of all life force, lay back and crashed heavily into the city below under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, two corpses were embedded deep into the ground, raising a cloud of dust. As the wind swept by, the dust dissipated, and everyone saw the two people in the pit.
Even in death, a Half-Emperor is still Half-Emperor. Apart from showing no signs of life, his body remained completely unharmed after falling from such a height. This, in turn, proves the power of Half-Emperor.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful it was, it was still no match for Intent Class Dou Technique.
Of course, if they had been prepared for Xiao Yan's attack, the outcome would have been different.
But, there are no "what ifs" in this world...
That's reality; it seems powerful, but it's actually incredibly fragile...
"Pfft..."
In the sky, Xiao Yan suddenly couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his face turned deathly pale, and his aura weakened rapidly, indicating that he was at his last gasp.
Forcibly unleashing the Heart-Shattering Palm in that state, despite the assistance of Gu You, still caused some backlash damage to Xiao Yan due to its terrifying power. However, this was undoubtedly much better than the deaths of Zou Shan and Ruo Shui.
His body swayed as he landed on the city gate. Xiao Yan quickly swallowed two Emperor Grade Pill to replenish his strength.
As the pill entered his mouth, the gentle Dou Qi quickly transformed into streams of clear spring water flowing throughout Xiao Yan's body. The injuries left from using the Heart-Shattering Palm technique also began to slowly heal at this moment.
On the other side, after seeing his two capable assistants instantly killed by Xiao Yan, the middle-aged man was filled with fear.
And it was precisely because of this that a huge flaw was left for the Northern King and Xiao Jin.
To reveal a flaw in a battle between Half-Emperor is tantamount to suicide. Therefore, in just a short while, the middle-aged man was clearly at a disadvantage. When Xiao Yan landed on the city gate, the middle-aged man finally made a careless move and was seized by the Northern King, who punched him hard in the back.
Although the Northern King was merely a puppet, due to the special method of its creation, the North Dragon King's lifelong combat experience and Dou Technique were all contained within the Northern King's indifferent thoughts. Therefore, the result of this attack was to immediately bring an end to the protracted battle.
With a single punch, the middle-aged man's body was sent flying backward, no longer under his control.
At the same time, Xiao Jin pressed his advantage, unleashing a terrifying golden lightning bolt that struck the middle-aged man hard. Accompanied by a strong smell of burning, the middle-aged man's aura plummeted to rock bottom. Even if he wasn't seriously injured, he was not far from death.
"Bang!"
Under the thunderous force, the middle-aged man was slammed into the city below, the terrifying power causing the entire Lengcui City to shake violently.
As everyone stared intently, in the giant crater that had been smashed open, the middle-aged man lay naked in the pit. His body was charred black, his bald head was completely gone, and his brocade robe had been blasted into nothingness by the lightning. This sight caused some of the female cultivators in the crowd to frown, turn around, and retreat to the back of the group.
The middle-aged man's disheveled appearance drew a lot of mocking glances from the crowd, but at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to those sarcastic looks and words. At this moment, the middle-aged man's most important concern was his own life.
He never expected that Xiao Yan's overall strength would be so much greater than what the information said. Just in terms of Nine-Star Half-Emperor experts, Xiao Yan possessed more than him. Moreover, the information said that Xiao Yan could at most defeat one Eight-Star Half-Emperor, but at this moment, he instantly killed two Eight-Star Half-Emperor under the gaze of everyone.
With his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan atop the city gate, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a desire to retreat.
Given Xiao Yan's current strength, he had no chance against him. Rather than confronting him head-on, it was better to retreat for the time being. As for the others, let them come; by then, Xiao Yan would have already left, and they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
With this in mind, the middle-aged man slowly narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on Xiao Yan, while his peripheral vision occasionally glanced at the Northern King and Xiao Jin who were gathering around him again.
"Cough cough..."
The middle-aged man staggered backward, his earthen-yellow battle aura condensing into a yellow robe on his body. As Bei Wang Xiao Jin drew closer, his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yan, and he called out in a slightly weak voice:
"Why must you be so resolute? I have already been defeated by you. If you wish to leave, you may do so without my interference. However, if you insist on fighting to the death, even if I die, I believe you will not gain anything in return!"
"So noisy..."
Hearing the middle-aged man's slightly weaker words, Xiao Yan said indifferently, then secretly told Xiao Jin Northern King before focusing on refining the Emperor Grade Pill within his body.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's most important concern was his own injuries. Although the middle-aged man had been defeated, the sense of danger in Xiao Yan's heart was growing stronger. He could vaguely sense that danger was rapidly approaching him, and now it was probably too late to retreat...
Therefore, Xiao Yan became even more curious about the reason why the middle-aged man was stopping him.
Since it's already unavoidable, it's best to understand the whole situation beforehand.
Inside the city, Xiao Jin and the Northern King charged at the middle-aged man again, just as Xiao Yan entered a meditative state.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned solemn. The little Dou Qi he possessed surged rapidly, condensing into an earthen-yellow Dou Qi Armor on his body. An earthen-yellow light also appeared in his pair of dark eyes.
"Drink!"
The next moment, the three figures collided violently once again.
In the Lengcui City, Cloud-Hidden Pavilion.
Luo Jin and Zhang Yi were observing this scene in the east of the city from the pavilion. Luo Jin's face showed a hint of surprise, and he was secretly amazed that Xiao Yan's control over the Great Dao of the Void was becoming more and more adept!
As for Zhang Yi, who was standing to the side, if he had some doubts about the rumors about Xiao Yan before, then now, seeing Xiao Yan kill two Eight-Star Half-Emperor in an instant, he had to take Xiao Yan seriously.
" The Dou Technique he just used must have been a Intent Class Dou Technique! To be able to destroy both Zou Shan Ruo Shui's bodies and souls, there's no other technique that could possibly be more than Intent Class Dou Technique."
Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Yan from afar and said in a slightly low voice.
"Yes, it is indeed Intent Class Dou Technique, but judging from the current situation, he is not yet able to unleash Dou Technique full power."
Luo Jin nodded in agreement and said...
Zhang Yi nodded in agreement. He could see that as well, but what struck him as odd was that Xiao Yan was able to unleash Intent Class Dou Technique in his previous state.
Although Xiao Yan's combat strength far exceeds his level, this is not the reason why he can use Intent Class Dou Technique Dou Qi, which transcends Xiao Yan. So how did he manage to unleash this Intent Class Dou Technique?
Zhang Yi Yi's brows were furrowed, his mind filled with questions.
On the other side, the middle-aged man, under the combined attack of the Northern King and Xiao Jin, was overwhelmed and defeated in just a short time.
The middle-aged man was defeated. The Northern King grabbed him by the throat, and the middle-aged man, powerless, was lifted up by the Northern King and thrown in front of Xiao Yan like a dead chicken.
"Pfft..."
As soon as he landed, the middle-aged man couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His aura was extremely weak, and he was already on the verge of being severely injured and killed.
Xiao Yan, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes. While sensing the slightly restored Dou Qi within his body, he looked indifferently at the heavily injured middle-aged man before him and said in a detached tone:
"Tell me who sent you to ambush me. Tell me, and I might spare your life."
"Hmm..."
The middle-aged man trembled all over, mumbling incoherently, but unable to utter a single word.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, a cold glint shooting out from his pupils. Since this guy in front of him was unwilling to talk, he was too lazy to pay any more attention to him. Xiao Yan would not leave any hidden dangers for himself. Since he had already made his move, he naturally would not leave any hidden dangers for himself either.
With a thought, the Northern King's figure burst through the air, stomping hard on the middle-aged man's chest. Instantly, blood splattered everywhere, gushing out like a spring.
Xiao Yan would go to great lengths for his friends, but he wouldn't hesitate to stab his enemies in the back.
With a thought, Xiao Yan Northern King a powerful kick to the middle-aged man's abdomen. The man was sent flying uncontrollably by the force of the kick.
The Northern King lunged forward, his iron fist clenched tightly, and slammed it down hard on the latter's head. If this punch landed, even if the middle-aged man had the body of Nine-Star Half-Emperor, he would still be doomed.
However, in the very next moment...
Between heaven and earth, a hoarse voice, tinged with a hint of surprise, suddenly rang out.
"Hehe... Boy, I never imagined that you could grow to such a level in just two years. Even Nine-Star Half-Emperor is no longer your match. If I could, I would really like to take you as my disciple. But unfortunately... it is destined that you must die by my hand today."
As the aged voice rang out, the entire Lengcui City was suddenly enveloped by an extremely terrifying aura. It was as if an invisible Mount Tai was pressing down on everyone's heads. Under this aura, even a powerful Nine-Star Half-Emperor could only bow down and submit.
Xiao Yan, standing atop the east gate of the city, instantly became solemn the moment this oppressive aura descended. In his opinion, among all the people he knew, only one person could rival the strength of this aura: Qing Feng of the Ginseng Spirit Clan.
Given this, it's not hard to guess the strength of the person who has just arrived. Clearly, the one who has descended upon Lengcui City is a genuine Dou Di level expert!
In the Lengcui City...
The Dou Di has arrived!
