In the void, Xiao Yan slowly withdrew the Heavy Xuan Ruler from his hand. Looking at the dark-skinned Eight-Star Half-Emperor, he was completely powerless to resist the sudden attack of the ruler.
The moment the Heavy Xuan Ruler slammed into his chest, the terrifying force caused his entire chest to cave in.
As the cracking sounds of bones breaking continued to echo, the terrifying Dou Qi attached to the Heavy Xuan Ruler rapidly surged into the old man's body, raging wildly like untamed horses.
"Bang!"
In the void, accompanied by a muffled sound like a balloon exploding, the body of the Eight-Star Half-Emperor was uncontrollably smashed down onto the mountain below.
Immediately afterwards, another loud bang was heard, and the old man's body was buried deep into the mountain below, disappearing from sight.
Under Xiao Yan's soul probing, the latter was already severely injured. At this moment, he would probably find it extremely difficult to even move a finger.
It was only at this moment that the other five Eight-Star Half-Emperor came to their senses. When they forcibly stopped and turned to look at Xiao Yan, the expression on their faces changed drastically.
It's unbelievable that in just a short moment, Xiao Yan had already arrived among the six of them. This terrifying speed is probably unmatched even by Nine-Star Half-Emperor!
"This... Zhao Hui! He actually... severely injured Zhao Hui!"
However, when one of the remaining five people noticed the dark-skinned old man buried deep in the mountains below, his expression instantly turned to horror.
A single strike severely injured an Eight-Star Half-Emperor —could this power truly be achieved by a mere Five-Star Half-Emperor like me?!
Although they found it hard to believe, the facts were right in front of them, leaving them no choice but to accept them.
Seeing the horrified expressions on the faces of the five people opposite him, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile again. He swung the giant ruler in his hand forcefully, and it stood diagonally to his right. As his Xiao Yan surged Dou Qi, the light on the giant ruler shone brightly once more.
"Hehe, how about it? Would the five of you like to try this? If you'd like to try, then I don't mind putting in a little extra effort."
It must be said that Xiao Yan's move of making an example of someone to scare the others truly terrified the five people present. Thinking of Zhao Hui's tragic fate, a deep chill ran through them. They really did not want to follow in Zhao Hui's footsteps.
Although the five men were terrified, the idea of making an example of someone was good, but as the saying goes, a great reward will surely bring forth brave men. Seeing the benefits right in front of them and remaining unmoved, wouldn't that be something only a fool would do?
Moreover, although they are now one person short, they still have five people left. Five Eight-Star Half-Emperor facing one Five-Star Half-Emperor, what are they afraid of?
"Hmph! Xiao Yan, stop with your intimidation. Although you severely injured Zhao Hui, he is only the weakest among the six of us. I know you are an alchemist, and that's exactly why you attacked him instead of one of the five of us!"
This time, it was another old man in brocade robes who spoke. He was the second person in the room, after the old man in black robes, whose strength had reached the Late Eight-Star Half-Emperor. He could be considered the strongest person present, so his words carried considerable weight.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Regardless of the reason, at least the Eight-Star Half-Emperor had been severely injured. How many people on the entire continent could achieve such a feat—to severely injure an Eight-Star Half-Emperor with the strength of Five-Star Half-Emperor?
But the words that followed immediately caused Xiao Yan's expression to change slightly.
"Hmph, besides, your secret technique that can traverse space and your Human Class Dou Technique, when used together, must consume a considerable amount of Dou Qi. In my estimation, how many times can you actually unleash such an attack?"
The old man demanded an explanation, and upon seeing the changing expression on Xiao Yan's face, he couldn't help but reveal a smug, cold smile.
Human Class Dou Technique are not something only Xiao Yan possesses, so they naturally don't need to worry about that. However, what they are wary of is Xiao Yan's unpredictable movement technique, which allows him to traverse space and instantly appear in front of them. If he catches them off guard every time, how can they possibly continue fighting?
Fortunately, the change in Xiao Yan's expression gave these Eight-Star Half-Emperor confidence. As long as Xiao Yan had a weakness, it would become their advantage, and they would be able to defeat Xiao Yan just the same way!
However, in considering these things, they overlooked the most important point: even if Xiao Yan's Dou Qi is exhausted, don't forget that there are still the Northern King and Xiao Jin, whose strength is comparable to Nine-Star Half-Emperor, in his Storage Ring and body. At that time, they will still be unable to do anything to Xiao Yan.
"Everyone, attack together and form a circle to trap him. Even if he's incredibly fast, as long as the opponents react in time, they can still neutralize Xiao Yan's attack!"
The man in the brocade robe swung his hand forcefully, unleashing a torrent of Dou Qi from his body. He moved swiftly and charged towards Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately nodded vigorously, their bodies trembled, and their Dou Qi surged as they rushed towards Xiao Yan.
Although this method isn't particularly sophisticated, it's the most practical one right now. At the very least, it renders Xiao Yan's speed ineffective against them.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, his gaze slowly sweeping over the five people surrounding him. A cold light flashed deep in his pupils. He tightened his grip on the Heavy Xuan Ruler, placing the massive ruler at an odd angle.
To Xiao Yan's surprise, these guys in front of him were even more greedy and insane than he had imagined; even now, they were still plotting against him.
However, despite this, Xiao Yan was not afraid of him. He was confident that with his current strength, no one below the Dou Di could pose any threat to him, and these people in front of him were no exception.
"Since you won't give up, then the only way to resolve our conflict is through combat."
Xiao Yan gazed at the old man in brocade robes who had spoken earlier and said in a calm tone.
"Hmph, we won't make the same mistake twice. So this time, you'd better just obediently accept your fate!"
Meeting Xiao Yan's gaze, the old man in the brocade robe chuckled coldly, then suddenly swung his hand and shouted sharply:
"Let's attack together and take down Xiao Yan!"
