"No?!"
The moment Xiao Yan uttered his words, Chen Zhen in front of him frowned deeply, halting his forward step. His eyes narrowed, his golden pupils fixed on Xiao Yan, and his deep voice was filled with suspicion.
"I've never heard of the Heavenly Severing Steps you mentioned. If you're talking about movement Dou Technique, I do have a Low Earth Tier Dou Technique called Three Thousand Lightning Movement. If you don't mind, I'll just give it to you."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan stood up from the ground, and with a flick of his wrist, a silver scroll appeared in his hand—the Xiao Yan Three Thousand Lightning Movement.
With the scroll in hand, Xiao Yan raised his head with pity in his eyes. His gaze passed over Zhang Yi and fell on Chen Zhen, who was staring at him with a sinister look. He stretched out his hand holding the Three Thousand Lightning Movement slightly, as if he really wanted to give it to Chen Zhen.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He couldn't see anything unusual in Xiao Yan's eyes. At this moment, he took out the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, and Xiao Yan hadn't used the Heavenly Severing Steps before, which made it almost impossible for Chen Zhen to detect whether Xiao Yan really possessed the Heavenly Severing Steps.
All signs indicate that Xiao Yan never possessed the Heavenly Severing Steps.
And it was precisely because of this flawlessness that Chen Zhen felt that this was Xiao Yan's biggest weakness.
Furthermore, Chen Zhen did not believe that the person from the Ghost Hall would deceive them. After all, the four of them represented the four super powers of the Western Region. Deceiving them, especially with matters concerning the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, would be pushing the four powers to the opposite side!
If the Four Great Sects join forces with the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion, it will still put considerable pressure on the Ghost Hall, even if it is not enough to annihilate them.
Before the time is right, the Ghost Hall will not easily provoke these various representative forces on the continent.
Moreover, judging from Xiao Yan's earlier refusal to mention the Ghost Fiend Gate, he clearly has some kind of grudge against the Ghost Fiend Gate. If that's the case, then the person from the Ghost Hall has even less reason to deceive them.
Therefore, Chen Zhen still firmly believes that the Heavenly Severing Steps must be within Xiao Yan!
With this thought in mind, a sharp golden light flashed in Chen Zhen's eyes. He reached out his palm, and a strong suction force surged from his hand. The scroll in Xiao Yan's hand was immediately and uncontrollably grasped by Chen Zhen.
With a light wave of his hand, the scroll unfolded in front of Chen Zhen. When he saw the four words "Three Thousand Lightning Movement," a vicious look immediately appeared on his face.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, a golden light shot out from Chen Zhen's eyes, piercing through the scroll in front of him.
As a shower of silvery light scattered, the scroll in front of them shattered and disappeared.
The Three Thousand Lightning Movement were thus shattered.
"Um?!"
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed, and his hand beneath his sleeve slowly clenched. Deep within his eyes, a crimson rage surged.
The Three Thousand Lightning Movement had been with him for many years, and Xiao Yan had developed a lot of feelings for them. But today, they were destroyed by Jian Ming. Even though the other party was Eight-Star Dou Di, he still couldn't suppress the anger in Xiao Yan's heart.
Just because Chen Zhen destroyed Three Thousand Lightning Movement, Xiao Yan had already put him on his blacklist.
In this lifetime, Xiao Yan is destined to die at the hands of this man!
But Xiao Yan was not an impulsive person. He knew the principle that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, and his greatest strength was precisely his ability to endure.
"Boy, hand over the Heavenly Severing Steps now!"
Chen Zhen stared coldly at Xiao Yan, then took another step forward, his terrifying Dou Di aura constantly pressing down on Zhang Yi and Xiao Yan in front of him.
"Hmph! Chen Zhen, you really don't take this Pavilion Master seriously!"
As the cold shout fell, Luo Jin suddenly flashed in front of Zhang Yi, and with a sudden wave of his Brushing Jade Fan fan, a sharp streak of Dou Qi qi shot towards Chen Zhen.
Facing the aggressive Luo Jin, Chen Zhen remained calm. Half-Emperor was a thing of the past for him, and posed no threat whatsoever.
"Sect Master, I don't want to make things difficult for you, and I ask that you not interfere. This is merely a matter between our Four Great Sects and Xiao Yan. As long as we obtain the Heavenly Severing Steps, out of respect for you, Sect Master, we will absolutely not make things difficult for Xiao Yan."
"Furthermore, Elder Zhang Yi, I will not make things difficult for him. However, to avoid trouble, I will have to trouble him for now. Once I obtain the Heavenly Severing Steps, I will leave Lengcui City."
Chen Zhen remained calm. Without that person's presence, the Pavilion Master before him was merely an ordinary Eight-Star Half-Emperor. Although he couldn't be harmed, as long as he was unharmed, the one behind him would have no reason to make things difficult for them.
"Ahem... Why must you press me so hard? I've already said, I've never seen this so-called Heavenly Severing Steps. If you're looking for it, you've probably come to the wrong person..."
Xiao Yan knelt on the ground, even though he was almost unable to hold on any longer, he still couldn't bear to bow his head to Chen Zhen. His intermittent words still indicated that he didn't have anything that Chen Zhen needed.
"I advise you to speak less. With your strength, you simply cannot withstand my pressure. Of course, the fact that you can speak is indeed surprising, but I believe it must have taken a lot of your energy."
Chen Zhen spoke in a detached tone, and continued:
"I'll say it again: hand over the Heavenly Severing Steps, and I'll spare your life."
This time, Xiao Yan returned to silence. His words just now seemed to have truly exhausted all his strength, leaving him unable to speak again.
"Roar!!!"
The deafening roar stirred up invisible spatial waves in the void, causing the invisible void to twist and ripple like the surface of the sea. As Xiao Jin emitted a dazzling golden light, the terrifying pressure on Xiao Yan's shoulders was weakened once again.
"Hmm? Hmph, this little thing is quite interesting. It actually managed to withstand my pressure with the power of Nine-Star Half-Emperor. I must say, you've really piqued my interest quite a bit."
Chen Zhen chuckled softly, a hint of greed creeping into his eyes as he looked at Xiao Jin.
Clearly, he had his eye on Xiao Jin's true form.
The Nine Profound Golden Lightning, Nine-Star Half-Emperor level Nine Profound Golden Lightning, although its strength is not considered formidable to him, if he were to absorb it, the effect would be vastly different from that of ordinary cultivation materials.
"Unfortunately, you are too weak. Otherwise, hmph, you would probably be a force to be reckoned with even across this entire continent..."
Chen Zhen said something ambiguous, then gently waved his hand. Instantly, a terrifying surge of battle Dou Qi condensed into a streak of Dou Qi qi, which slammed into Xiao Jin's massive body.
"Bang!"
Long Lin shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and with a pitiful roar, Xiao Jin's massive body was slammed into the city wall below it, unable to move.
One blow nearly left Xiao Jin severely injured!
" Xiao Jin!"
This scene enraged Xiao Yan, who had just regained some strength, and he couldn't help but roar out loud.
With a thought, the Northern King's towering body moved instantly, charging fiercely towards Chen Zhen despite the latter's terrifying pressure.
"Heh, a puppet... Nine-Star Half-Emperor, Xiao Yan, the things you possess are truly extraordinary, it's just a pity you followed the wrong master."
With another light wave of his hand, another terrifying beam of Dou Qi qi, no less powerful than the previous one, shot out, instantly blasting the charging Northern King away.
"Bang!"
With a single strike, the Northern King's body tore through the city wall behind him, embedding himself deep within it along with Xiao Jin.
A deep crack lay across the Northern King's chest, with wisps of lightning constantly crackling across it, repairing Northern King wounded body. Yet, even so, the wound was healing at an extremely slow pace.
Even the seemingly indestructible body of the Northern King could not withstand this attack. It must be said that the Dou Di is truly terrifying!
Inside the city, everyone looked up at Chen Zhen atop the city gate, their mouths agape, speechless. The utterly shocking scene before them left them almost in a daze.
It's unbelievable that those were two Nine-Star Half-Emperor, almost invincible beings in Lengcui City, yet they were utterly powerless against Chen Zhen. Dou Di powerhouses are truly terrifying!
"I'll say it again, hand over the Heavenly Severing Steps, or I'll kill you, you pet, right now!"
Using his imposing aura to block Luo Jin, whose face was gloomy, Chen Zhen slowly walked up to Xiao Yan, raised his palm, and pointed it directly at Xiao Jin.
If Xiao Yan doesn't hand over the Heavenly Severing Steps, he wouldn't mind killing Xiao Jin, so he can absorb the latter's violent energy and use it to improve his own strength.
"Ahem... I'll say it again, I don't have any of that Heavenly Severing Steps you're looking for..."
Xiao Yan's face was pale, and he spoke weakly.
"Snort!"
Chen Zhen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he was about to make a move.
"Um?!"
But the next moment, Chen Zhen frowned. Xiao Yan, right in front of him, actually handed over his Storage Ring.
Handing over the Storage Ring was tantamount to surrendering all one's resources, which even surprised Chen Zhen.
"Hehe, that's true. Why is Sect Master Chen in such a hurry to kill? Why not check this kid's Storage Ring first? If he has the Heavenly Severing Steps, then it's not too late to take it. What do you say?"
Just then, Wu Jitian of the Battle Martial Sect also flew down, looking at Chen Zhen with a smile on his face. The meaning of his words of obstruction was self-evident.
Clearly, he noticed Xiao Jin's special status at a glance, which is why he spoke up to stop him.
"Snort..."
With a cold snort, Chen Zhen withdrew his gaze and turned his cold eyes to the pitch-black Storage Ring in front of him.
Under Wu Jitian's expectant gaze, Chen Zhen then channeled his Spiritual Strength into Xiao Yan's Storage Ring.
Because Xiao Yan took the initiative to open the Storage Ring, Chen Zhen's Spiritual Strength was not hindered when it flowed into the Storage Ring.
A moment later, Chen Zhen, who had been calmly examining Xiao Yan's Storage Ring, gradually turned gloomy under the gaze of the people around him. At this moment, the heavy weight that Wu Jitian and the others had just put down was once again raised in their hearts.
"What's going on? Don't tell me the Heavenly Severing Steps isn't in this kid's Storage Ring!"
Wu Jitian frowned and spoke in a low, deep voice.
With the Ghost Hall's information already out there, he didn't believe that the Heavenly Severing Steps were truly not in Xiao Yan's hands.
However, after a moment, Chen Zhen, with a gloomy expression, helplessly withdrew his Spiritual Strength, staring intently at Xiao Yan with an extremely somber face. Then, under the heavy gazes of the people around him, he slowly shook his head.
