As the giant ruler slammed down heavily in Xiao Yan's hand, a surging aura brought with it a biting wind pressure, like a low roar of a demonic beast, howling across the sky.
As the Heavy Xuan Ruler appeared, a dazzling Heavenly Flames suddenly rose beneath Xiao Yan's feet, and in the next moment, it transformed into a ring of fire that rapidly swept outwards in all directions.
" Domain of Flame!"
With the domain activated, Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan aura surged even more powerfully, his eyes blazing with Heavenly Flames, and a vibrant, soaring battle intent erupted from his body.
"Hahaha, come on, let me see just how strong these six Eight-Star Half-Emperor really are!"
With a loud, unrestrained laugh, Xiao Yan gripped the heavy ruler and charged towards the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor.
"Hmph! You're courting death! How dare you face six of us Eight-Star Half-Emperor alone? You're truly courting death!"
Upon seeing that Xiao Yan hadn't even summoned the Northern King Xiao Jin, the leading black-robed elder let out an angry snort. Xiao Yan's arrogant behavior truly enraged them.
"Since he's courting death, let's just capture him once and for all and hand him over to the Four Great Sects. Hehe, the bounty will all be ours!"
Among the six, an old man with dark skin looked at Xiao Yan, who was shooting towards them, and let out a disdainful sneer.
Upon hearing this, the others nodded greedily. Regardless of Xiao Yan's current strength, as long as they could capture him, the bounties from the Four Great Sects would all belong to them. Naturally, these four Eight-Star Half-Emperor would not be polite about it.
"Superior!"
As the old man let out a thunderous roar, the others beside him nodded in unison. Immediately, their battle Dou Qi surged forth, transforming into beams of Dou Qi qi of various colors that shot into the sky.
Immediately, the group moved swiftly, each brandishing their weapons, and charged towards Xiao Yan who was coming towards them.
Finally, only the old man in black robes hesitated for a moment before following closely behind.
Although he wasn't afraid of Xiao Yan, he always sensed a subtle sense of danger. This faint feeling of danger didn't frighten him, but it still made him feel uneasy.
But when his gaze fell on Xiao Yan, that feeling of unease vanished almost instinctively, as if the dangerous aura wasn't emanating from Xiao Yan at all.
"Boom!"
The massive ruler clashed violently with the six men who had rushed forward. As the sound of metal striking metal rang out, the Dou Qi attached to both sides' weapons suddenly erupted at that moment.
A fierce wave of Dou Qi qi suddenly swept out from the point of collision between the giant ruler and the six weapons. Xiao Yan and the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor were also shaken at this moment and retreated rapidly.
The six Eight-Star Half-Emperor were relatively unscathed; they only had to shake their bodies before stopping a dozen or so feet behind them. But Xiao Yan, under the combined attack of the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor, was thrown backward by nearly a hundred feet before finally regaining his footing.
Facing six Eight-Star Half-Emperor single-handedly is still far too much for Xiao Yan in his current state!
"Hmph, Xiao Yan, it seems you can only rely on your words. Today, you are destined to be taken away by us!"
The dark-skinned old man took a step forward, and a powerful aura belonging to an Eight-Star Half-Emperor condensed in front of him, sweeping towards Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's calm face did not change much. What the other party said was true. Six Eight-Star Half-Emperor were indeed a bit difficult for him. However, Xiao Yan was not someone who could be treated with ordinary reason!
Anyone who dares to underestimate Xiao Yan will pay a price that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
"It seems I can only deal with them one by one. Fine, let me see where my current strength truly lies!"
A thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and he burst into laughter. He gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler tightly in his hand, and his Dou Qi poured out wildly, filling the inside of the Heavy Xuan Ruler. The mysterious patterns on the dark surface of the ruler were gradually filled with Heavenly Flames.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler!"
The moment the thunderous roar from his mouth subsided, Xiao Yan's body burst forth, charging towards the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor opposite him.
"Hmph! Overestimating himself. Let's attack together! Once we've dealt with this brat, we can choose any Emperor Pill or cultivation technique we want. From now on, the Western Region will surely have a place of our own! Charge!"
The dark-skinned old man swung his hand forward fiercely and shouted again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the people beside him gleamed with greed once again. They exchanged glances, nodded fiercely, and with their Dou Qi surging, they charged towards Xiao Yan who was coming towards them.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides of a hundred feet had been reduced by more than half, and the distance between Xiao Yan and the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor was less than ten feet.
At such close range, and given that both were Half-Emperor, the invisible pressure emanating from their auras clashed first. Xiao Yan, fighting six opponents alone, naturally found himself at a disadvantage.
"Haha, arrogant brat, you're destined to pay the price for your actions! Die!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan was already at a disadvantage, the Eight-Star Half-Emperor who had spoken earlier sneered again, his words full of disdain for Xiao Yan.
"Hmph, unwarranted arrogance comes at a price!"
" Spatial Curtain, rise!"
With a low shout, Xiao Yan's body, which was rushing forward, suddenly disappeared into the sky amidst the incredulous gazes of the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor.
The Six Paths Curtain technique was only used by Xiao Yan once, half a year ago. Therefore, very few people knew about it. Unfortunately, the Eight-Star Half-Emperor in front of Xiao Yan at this moment were completely unaware of it.
The next instant, before the six Eight-Star Half-Emperor could react, Xiao Yan's figure appeared even more abruptly in front of the dark-skinned old man among them.
According to Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength probing, he was the weakest among the six. However, he had only recently broken through to the Eight-Star Half-Emperor level, which is why he hesitated every time he made a move. He would first instigate the others to his side before following up with his henchman. Therefore, in Xiao Yan's eyes, this guy was an absolute villain, or rather, a weakling.
Although Xiao Yan's cultivation level is not as high as the former's, in terms of mentality, Xiao Yan is an absolute stronger person. In this situation, the strong should not show any pity to the weak.
Therefore, in the instant the dark-skinned old man reacted, Xiao Yan's giant ruler slammed heavily onto his chest.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler, one foot!"
A ruler falls, a person dies!
