" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler!"
As Xiao Yan's shout fell, a terrifying ruler-shaped beam of light shot out rapidly with a terrifying energy storm, its momentum overwhelming.
As the seven beams of light shot out, they swelled in the wind, reaching a height of a hundred feet in the blink of an eye. The dazzling strange flames billowed in the wind under the influence of the hurricane, as if the strange flames were burning the sky. As the beams of light swept across the sky, they left a long trail of fire. The seven beams of light, like seven fire banners, carried an awe-inspiring momentum and slammed into the seven people coming towards them.
At the same time, behind the crowd, the old man in black robes revealed Xiao Yan's true identity in a single sentence.
Upon hearing this, the seven men were immediately taken aback, never expecting that the black-robed youth before them was actually Xiao Yan, whom they had been searching for for over a year!
A year later, they face Xiao Yan once more. A moment ago, they might have felt no fear towards Xiao Yan, but now that they know Xiao Yan true identity, they feel somewhat lost. Is their encounter with Xiao Yan a good thing or a bad thing?
It's important to know that Xiao Yan had once fought against a true Dou Di powerhouse. Although the opponent never revealed their true strength, this alone was enough to prove Xiao Yan's extraordinary abilities.
Now, more than a year later, Xiao Yan's strength certainly cannot have remained stagnant. Although they are not weak, they still feel a sense of powerlessness when facing Xiao Yan. This is not because they lack confidence in their own strength, but simply because what Xiao Yan did back then was too astonishing.
Facing Xiao Yan, their strength was already suppressed without them even realizing it. In addition, the Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler that Xiao Yan was currently unleashing was already quite powerful, which further intensified their fear of Xiao Yan.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar, like thunderclaps, echoed across the sky. With each successive violent boom, the seven High-Level Half-Emperor were sent flying uncontrollably through the air, crashing heavily into the forest behind them. They were only a hundred feet away when, after destroying a large area of the forest, they finally slammed into a thick tree trunk, severely injured, and passed out.
With just one strike, he defeated seven Half-Emperor, thus demonstrating the extent of Xiao Yan's current combat power.
Of course, there was some exaggeration in the fact that he defeated seven Half-Emperor with a single blow. After all, if their minds hadn't been disturbed earlier, Xiao Yan might not have been able to seriously injure them with a single strike even at full strength.
Regardless of the circumstances, Xiao Yan had indeed accomplished this astonishing feat. After the seven people were seriously injured, the only remaining men in the black robe and brocade robe looked at Xiao Yan with horror. In particular, the ferocious look on the brocade robe's face had disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of fear.
He never imagined that this guy, who looked to be around the same age as him and whose strength was only slightly higher, could defeat seven High-Level Half-Emperor in a single move. He couldn't even believe it; was this scene just his imagination?
"Laugh..."
The old man in black robes took half a step to the side, shielding the man in gold robes behind him. A look of solemnity crept into his gaze as he looked at Xiao Yan.
He was equally surprised that the legendary Xiao Yan would be so terrifying. He couldn't help but have doubts about the battle a year ago. Did the four Dou Di experts really not use their true strength? But why is it that the true combat power of this black-robed youth far exceeds his own cultivation level?
Having witnessed what had just happened, the black-robed elder was equally wary. To be able to defeat five High-Level Half-Emperor in one strike, possessing such combat power, was already enough to rival Nine-Star Half-Emperor.
However, at the same time, the black-robed elder also believed that Xiao Yan had not used all his trump cards. He could not treat Xiao Yan as an ordinary Five-Star Half-Emperor. He had to be on high alert. Otherwise, it was really hard to say who would win today.
"Boy, I didn't expect that Four Great Sects have been searching for you for a year, you would have already arrived in the Xilin Mountain Range."
The old man in black robes narrowed his eyes, his gloomy old eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, not daring to relax for a moment.
"Hehe, yes, according to you, I've been hiding in the Xilin Mountain Range for a full year, and all of this is thanks to you."
Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally, his expression extremely indifferent.
"I believe that soon you won't need to hide anymore, because the people of the Four Great Sects will no longer have the chance to hide from you."
The old man in black robes slowly retreated, and the man in brocade robes behind him also hurriedly retreated. His previous arrogant expression had disappeared, and he looked like a frightened deer, not knowing which way to turn, and could only wait for the old man in black robes in front of him to protect him.
"Hehe..."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer. The guy who had just been so confident in his ability to kill him was now completely different.
"Uh... Elder Quan..."
The man in the brocade robe was ashen-faced and filled with terror. If Xiao Yan could severely injure those seven High-Level Half-Emperor with a single foot, then he could definitely kill him with the same amount of force. Without his attendants, he would find it difficult to move an inch in the Xilin Mountain Range. After all, the weakest magical beast here possessed the level of Six-Star Half-Emperor.
Therefore, right now, the only person he can rely on is the old man in black robes standing in front of him.
"Kid, we've taken note of what happened today. Someone will come looking for you one day!"
The old man in black robes looked at Xiao Yan with a serious expression and spoke threateningly.
Do you think I'll let you leave?
Xiao Yan's gaze was calm, but a murderous intent began to surge within his seemingly unperturbed eyes.
"Hmph, even if you can challenge opponents of higher levels, do you really think it's possible to defeat me in one blow?"
The old man in black robes spoke with unwavering resolve. As he spoke, his old eyes flickered slightly, and his Dou Qi surged. He lightly stomped his feet on the ground, and a circle of black energy rapidly spread out in all directions.
" Domain of Darkness!"
Upon seeing the old man's domain, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly. With Xiao Yan's current experience, he had only seen dark attribute Dou Qi once before, but even so, it was ultimately a useless move.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, leaned forward slightly, and took a step forward. With each Xiao Yan, Heavenly Flames surged beneath Xiao Yan feet, and his Domain of Flame spread out, colliding with the old man's Domain of Darkness.
