"Well..."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the One-Horned Whale Serpent was taken aback. Xiao Yan's words made it feel as if it were facing a complete idiot.
"Roar..."
With a low growl, the One-Horned Whale Serpent rolled its eyes at Xiao Yan, then twisted its massive body, attempting to return to the bottom of the lake.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's facial muscles twitched violently. He gritted his teeth and, just as the One-Horned Whale Serpent was about to return to the bottom of the lake, Xiao Yan spoke again, shouting loudly:
"Two! Two Emperor Grade Pill. As long as you can touch my clothes, you can take the pills!"
As he said this, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his hand, and two perfectly round pills, each the size of a longan, appeared in his palm.
As the pill appeared, a rich fragrance of the pill quickly spread in all directions.
The One-Horned Whale Serpent caught a whiff of the medicinal fragrance the moment it entered the water. Instantly, its submerged body froze, and ripples of water surged violently around it. The next moment, the One-Horned Whale Serpent burst out of the lake, its huge eyes filled with longing as it stared at Xiao Yan, or more accurately, at the two Emperor Grade Pill in his hand.
With these two Emperor Grade Pill, the One-Horned Whale Serpent had no doubt that its cultivation level would be completely stabilized at the Early Nine-Star Half-Emperor, which would undoubtedly save it a long period of cultivation time in the future.
"Heh... You said it yourself, kid, don't blame me for bullying you!"
Despite recognizing Xiao Yan's extraordinary abilities, the One-Horned Whale Serpent was confident that with its Nine-Star Half-Emperor speed, it could easily surpass this human, whom it regarded as an ant.
Moreover, the effects of this elixir on it are obvious. If it could obtain it, it would naturally not let it go easily. In addition, with such simple conditions, the One-Horned Whale Serpent would certainly not waste such a good opportunity.
"Heh heh, what a greedy guy. Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. Besides, you can always fight me. With your Nine-Star Half-Emperor strength, do you really think you're afraid of a Five-Star Half-Emperor like me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled with a playful expression.
Seeing Xiao Yan's mocking expression, the One-Horned Whale Serpent rolled its eyes at him again, then snorted coldly and said:
"Boy, get the pills ready. I'm coming to collect them!"
"Roar!"
With a roar, the entire lake surface churned violently, and towering waves surged up. The massive body of the One-Horned Whale Serpent suddenly soared into the air, its enormous whale-like tail carrying terrifying force as it slammed down on Xiao Yan.
Only now was Xiao Yan able to truly see the overall appearance of this behemoth before him.
The enormous snake's body was even longer than the one that had previously surfaced from the lake. Its body was covered with smooth scales that reflected dazzling light as it twisted, like sharp eyes that sent chills down one's spine.
"Hmph..."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction; this was exactly the result he wanted.
Just as the giant, fan-like tail came crashing down, Xiao Yan finally made a move. With a twist of his body, he instantly unleashed the Heavenly Severing Steps, his pitch-black figure flashing continuously in the void, like a shadow, making it difficult to catch his form.
At the same time, the snake tail that was fiercely attacking Xiao Yan swept across the void, bringing up a gust of wind, but it did not touch Xiao Yan's body at all.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had dodged his attack so easily, the One-Horned Whale Serpent couldn't help but show a look of surprise in its eyes. It was unexpected that a Five-Star Half-Emperor could possess such speed.
Although extremely surprised, for the sake of the two Emperor Grade Pill, the One-Horned Whale Serpent quickly gathered its Dou Qi. Its massive body suddenly twisted and circled left and right, forming a sphere that quickly and completely surrounded Xiao Yan, who was constantly flashing through the void.
"Hmph! Let's see how you hide now!"
The One-Horned Whale Serpent roared angrily, rapidly twisting its body around Xiao Yan, shrinking the small space within it until Xiao Yan had nowhere to escape.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled. Before the space around him was completely compressed, Xiao Yan's hands moved quickly, and he cast a series of hand seals. At the same time, a black curtain condensed in front of him.
Six Paths Curtain!
As the shout in his heart subsided, Xiao Yan stepped forward, and before the terrifying pressure around him could surge in, Xiao Yan's figure vanished in an instant.
"Um?!"
Upon noticing Xiao Yan's absence, the One-Horned Whale Serpent exclaimed in surprise. The next moment, when it turned its head sharply, it saw that Xiao Yan's figure had already appeared in the void behind it.
"Heh, it seems your trick isn't very effective against me."
Xiao Yan smiled gently and said.
The One-Horned Whale Serpent turned its head, its eyes filled with utter shock.
"How is that possible!"
It's unbelievable that this black-robed human could evade its flawless, deadly entanglement. You must know that if you were trapped inside after that attack, you would have no chance of escaping unless you forcibly broke through the One-Horned Whale Serpent's body. How did Xiao Yan manage to do that?!
"Heh, nothing is impossible. Your trick might work on others, but it's completely ineffective against me."
Xiao Yan chuckled, extended his index finger, and gently traced it across the void in front of him. Immediately afterward, as Xiao Yan's fingertip traced the void, a Space Wormhole several inches wide appeared in the empty space.
Of course, this small Space Wormhole couldn't accomplish much, but it was enough to shock the One-Horned Whale Serpent to no end.
"This... this is... a spatial rift? No, this is... the Great Dao of the Void!"
The One-Horned Whale Serpent's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, its words filled with disbelief. Indeed, for a Half-Emperor to comprehend the Power of the Great Dao was something that would be completely impossible for anyone else!
Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally, without saying a word.
"Hey kid! You cheated!"
A moment of silence followed, then the One-Horned Whale Serpent, utterly shocked, suddenly roared. As soon as it finished speaking, Xiao Yan's expression turned to astonishment. Then, the One-Horned Whale Serpent continued:
"Kid! At your fighting style, how could I possibly touch you! With the Power of the Great Dao, you could easily dodge my attacks. Are you deliberately toying with me?!"
"Well..."
Xiao Yan was taken aback. When he looked up, he saw that this guy was about to dive away again. He couldn't help but feel helpless for this guy's fragile heart. He was too easily defeated. He really didn't know where his strength as a Nine-Star Half-Emperor had gone...
"Ahem, how about this then? At worst, I'll just abandon my Great Dao of the Void. Is that alright?"
Xiao Yan pursed his lips helplessly. Who knew why this giant snake was so timid? He had no choice but to suppress his Power of the Great Dao once again.
However, the moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, the One-Horned Whale Serpent, which had just turned its head, suddenly let out a sinister laugh and pounced on Xiao Yan Xiao Yan.
