As Xiao Yan rapidly formed hand seals, Tian Ying saw an Old Gu rune slowly emerge between Xiao Yan's brows. With an Old Gu aura slowly spreading from the Clan Mark, Xiao Yan's strength had terrifyingly soared to the level of Six-Star Half-Emperor.
" Clan Mark appears!"
With a low shout, Xiao Yan, with the help of the pills and Clan Mark within his body, restored his strength to its peak state in a short moment, although it wouldn't last long.
"Huh?! What secret technique did he use to increase his strength by a whole star?!"
At this moment, even Xiong Gang, who had maintained a calm expression, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at Xiao Yan. He had never seen any secret technique that could be so powerful.
"Hmm, if it were a high-level secret technique, it could indeed achieve this level. However, this kid clearly doesn't possess such a thing. Moreover, the rune between his eyebrows doesn't seem to be something that ordinary secret techniques can condense. Judging from the aura within it, it should be something possessed by some Old Gu force."
Tian Ying's expression was solemn as he spoke.
If Xiao Yan in front of us is indeed a disciple of some Old Gu power, then his identity is quite unusual!
To possess the strength of Half-Emperor at such a young age is unimaginable. The power behind him must be incredibly strong. Even Dou Di) level expert would probably only be considered a mid-to-lower level power in that organization.
" Old Gu force? You mean this kid's identity is extraordinary?"
Xiong Gang frowned. If that were really the case, and they killed Xiao Yan today, then their Xilin Mountain Range would likely suffer a devastating blow soon.
A truly Old Gu power has a foundation that is not something they can easily bear. Even a Dou Di powerhouse is like an ant in front of such a power.
"What can we do then? We can't kill him, but are we really going to let him in? The heart of the Xilin Mountain Range is off-limits to anyone. If something happens to him, the consequences are something neither of us can afford."
Xiong Gang stopped in his tracks, looked solemnly at Tian Ying, and said in a serious tone.
"I understand that perfectly well. Don't worry, the rules absolutely cannot be changed. No matter what, we can't let him in. Let's just kick him out. If he still won't give up, then he can't blame us."
Tian Ying narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Xiao Yan, and after a long while, he spoke in a deep voice.
With a sudden flick of his wrist, Tian Ying's invisible longsword split apart in the void. In the blink of an eye, dozens of invisible swords condensed in the void in front of Tian Ying.
Meanwhile, Xiong Gang on the other side clenched his fists, and the rocky bear claws shattered, transforming into a giant stone axe, which Xiong Gang then grasped in his palms once more.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his fair hand grasping the Heavy Xuan Ruler beside him. As he raised his gaze, a powerful aura emanated from his body.
" Domain of Flame! Activate!"
With a loud shout, a dazzling circle of Heavenly Flames swept out from beneath Xiao Yan's feet in all directions, encompassing the entire battle area.
The Heavenly Flames swept in, and the terrifying high temperature instantly enveloped the people present. Under this terrifying temperature, even the void became distorted, and the three of them unconsciously began to breathe more heavily.
"Hey, good lad! With the help of the Heavenly Flames, his domain far surpasses that of others at the same level!"
"Hmph, domain? I haven't used it in a long time either. Let's try it out today!"
" Domain of Wind!"
" Domain of Rock!"
With two deafening roars, two completely different domain auras spread out from under Tian Ying's feet and Xiong Gang's feet, colliding fiercely with Xiao Yan's Domain of Flame.
"Bang!"
The moment the domains collided, a loud bang echoed across the sky. As a tool of Half-Emperor, the strength of a domain naturally represented the strength of the Half-Emperor.
At this moment, in the clash between Xiao Yan and Tian Ying Xiong Gang's domains, it was immediately clear that because Xiao Yan's strength was weaker than the two in front of him, and the two were attacking together, Tian Ying's side almost crushed Xiao Yan's Domain of Flame with overwhelming force in just a few breaths.
Despite the shattering of his domain, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged. As the two completely different domains rushed towards him, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his wrist, gripping the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his palm. With a "poof," a burst of Heavenly Flames erupted from his other hand, slashing fiercely across the dark surface of the heavy ruler.
The moment the heavy ruler was enveloped by the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan swung his hand violently, and the giant ruler swept out horizontally. The terrifying ruler light swept across the sky, carrying a powerful force that instantly destroyed the oncoming domain. Then, its power remained undiminished and continued to bombard Tian Ying and the other two.
" Hundred Piercing Swords!"
" Mountains and Rivers Split the Earth!"
As the roar subsided, dozens of longswords, under the control of the Tian Ying, fiercely attacked Xiao Yan's attack. Xiong Gang also swung his giant stone axe with all his might, bringing it down on Xiao Yan.
The next instant, a streak of earth-yellow Dou Qi qi shot out, swelled against the wind, and carried an extremely terrifying momentum. In the blink of an eye, it had already collided fiercely with Xiao Yan's foot-long beam of light.
Facing two opponents alone, Xiao Yan was ultimately no match. His Xiao Yan Nine-Star Half-Emperor only last for a short while before being forcibly shattered by the two powerful Dou Technique Dou Technique.
As the ruler-shaped light was broken, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but his expression remained unchanged. On the contrary, a hint of mockery appeared deep in Xiao Yan's eyes.
Grasping the heavy ruler, Xiao Yan swung his arms, and magnificent beams of light shot out from the giant ruler, creating a terrifying storm that instantly shattered the Dou Technique of the two combatants and slammed into the oncoming Tian Ying and his companion.
After doing all this, Xiao Yan's face turned pale again. Xiao Yan swallowed two more Emperor Grade Pill before turning around and flying swiftly into the depths of the mountains.
"Boom!"
After breaking through Xiao Yan's ruler light, a cloud-like energy storm swept across the heavens and earth. Tian Ying and his companion were helpless and lost their target for a short time. When they rushed out of the cloud, Xiao Yan's figure had already appeared at the end of their sight.
"You little brat, you actually think you can go in? Let's see where you think you can run!"
With a low shout, the Tian Ying moved, turning back into its true form. With a flap of its wings, Wind Sweeps Away the Remaining Clouds and, in an instant, appeared on the distant Tian Ying, chasing after Xiao Yan.
Afterwards, Xiong Gang glanced at the direction Tian Ying had chased after, but ignored it. Instead, he turned his gaze to Northern King, who was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Yan Shi.
With Tian Ying gone, Yan Shi and Xiong Gang focused their attention on Northern King. At this moment, no one noticed that in the dim forest below, another figure shrouded in a black robe was rushing away in another direction at high speed.
When the sunlight filtered through the trees and shone on the young face of the man in black robes, it was undoubtedly Xiao Yan.
As for the person that Tian Ying just chased, it was naturally Xiao Yan's incarnation.
