"Bang!"
As their fists collided, terrifying power spread outwards, causing the surrounding void to collapse instantly. A buzzing sound swept in all directions, and the expressions of Xiao Yan and the black-robed elder became increasingly somber at this moment.
After the first strike, the two turned around simultaneously. Xiao Yan bent his elbow and launched another attack at the old man.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, the old man was equally unwilling to be outdone. He twisted his body and unleashed another palm strike at Xiao Yan.
"Bang!"
Facing the black-robed elder before him, Xiao Yan showed no fear. Every punch and palm strike was a deadly move, aimed at vital points.
In a short time, the two had already exchanged hundreds of blows, their Dou Qi qi surging and surging, and wave after wave of energy storms sweeping across the world. Their battle was becoming increasingly intense.
In the repeated fierce clashes with Xiao Yan, the black-robed elder couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
He never imagined that Xiao Yan's combat power would be so terrifying. Although he was only Five-Star Half-Emperor, the power he truly unleashed was something that even he found difficult to defeat.
Moreover, in each clash, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames always managed to frustrate him. Once he came into contact with it, his power would be significantly weakened by the Heavenly Flames, so that he had to expend a lot of Dou Qi every time he made a move, while the effect he gained was negligible.
In addition, Xiao Yan's physical strength also terrified the black- Xiao Yan elder. Every time they clashed, the latter's terrifying force would instantly numb the elder's arm, which invisibly affected his strength.
Regarding Xiao Yan's terrifying physical strength, the black-robed elder admitted that in his entire life, he had only ever seen it in powerful magical beasts, and he had never imagined that a human could possess such terrifying physical strength comparable to a magical beast. The elder even doubted whether the black-robed youth before him was truly human!
"Boom!"
After another fierce clash, Xiao Yan and the black-robed elder each retreated a hundred feet. Their eyes met from a distance. Xiao Yan remained calm, a smile still playing on his lips, though his breathing seemed slightly rapid.
On the other hand, the old man in black robes had an extremely solemn expression on his wrinkled face. His left hand, which had just clashed fiercely with Xiao Yan, was trembling uncontrollably, and his entire left arm was no longer under his control.
The old man rapidly circulated his internal Dou Qi, quickly dispelling the numbness in his left arm. Only then did he turn his head to look at the man in brocade robes not far behind him. The man was also staring at Xiao Yan in the void with disbelief, his dark eyes filled with shock.
"Young Master, hurry and leave this place. I will hold him off until you leave, and then I will find you!"
After the old man finished speaking, he found that the man in the brocade robe was completely unmoved, as if he hadn't listened at all.
His face darkened, and the old man felt a surge of disappointment and frustration. With a sudden flick of his sleeve, a whistling wind arose, and he faced the man in the brocade robe, shouting sharply:
" Sun Che!"
With a sharp shout, Sun Che snapped back to his senses like a startled bird. The moment he saw the black-robed elder, his fear deepened. Only after he was completely sober did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's go! Get out of here! This kid is no ordinary person. We can't attack him by force today. Let's leave and make a decision when we get back!"
Seeing Sun Che's cowardice, the old man in black robes wanted nothing more than to slap him, but given the circumstances, he could only shout angrily at him.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Sun Che was initially startled, but then he quickly came to his senses, nodded, turned around, and fled rapidly towards the outside of the Xilin Mountain Range.
Throughout, Xiao Yan watched the two men with a faint smile. Only when Sun Che turned and fled did he chuckle, crack his neck, and smile at the old man, saying:
"Don't worry about him. None of you are leaving here today!"
With Xiao Yan's current strength, he still has to go all out against Nine-Star Half-Emperor, so naturally he doesn't want the Four Great Sects to know his whereabouts. Therefore, in order to protect himself, Xiao Yan is destined to go on a killing spree today.
Upon hearing this, the old man in black robes couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yan.
Although Xiao Yan was able to fight on par with him, Five-Star Half-Emperor, with his own powerful combat strength, despite being only a five- Nine-Star Half-Emperor, he was confident that this was Xiao Yan's limit. After all, he was only a Five-Star Half-Emperor, and it was impossible for him to defeat Nine-Star Half-Emperor, let alone kill him.
"Hmph, Xiao Yan, I admit your combat strength is indeed very strong, but do you think you can defeat me?"
The old man in black robes let out a mocking laugh, his gloomy old eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and said.
"Heh, if I weren't absolutely certain, I wouldn't have said those words."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, his gaze calm as he looked at the black-robed elder. The implication in his words sent a chill down the latter's spine; it seemed that Xiao Yan truly possessed that ability.
However, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on the old man's face, and his gaze toward Xiao Yan became ruthless.
If it really comes to that, he will make Xiao Yan pay the price no matter what!
"Kid, if you've got the guts, come and try!"
The old man spoke to Xiao Yan in a chilling tone. At the same time, his Dou Qi circulated rapidly throughout his body, and his withered hands suddenly clenched, instantly producing a long spear.
"Call..."
In response, Xiao Yan let out a long sigh of relief, releasing Dou Qi outside his body, which was then completely absorbed into his body. He quickly concealed his aura, slowly closed his eyes, and stood still, seemingly waiting for the old man to kill him.
This appearance is completely different from when they were fighting the previous battle.
Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, the old man frowned slightly, a sense of suspicion rising in his heart. For a moment, he was unsure whether to move or not.
Ten breaths later, seeing that Xiao Yan still remained motionless, the old man finally began to have some doubts.
"Drink!"
With a roar in his heart, the old man stomped his foot on the void, his figure flashing as he transformed into a bolt of lightning, attacking Xiao Yan with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, the old man appeared in front of Xiao Yan, his black spear trembling violently as the tip pierced Xiao Yan's brow.
But, in the next instant, when the sharp spear tip was less than an inch from Xiao Yan's head, Xiao Yan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
At the same time, a deep white flame suddenly erupted from Xiao Yan's body, blasting the black-robed elder in front of him away.
