The pale white flames transformed into a firestorm, centered on Xiao Yan's body, rapidly sweeping outwards in all directions across the sky. The terrifying power struck the black-robed elder first.
The spear in his hand shattered, and the old man's chest was crushed and caved in the instant the flame storm struck, with faint muffled thuds emanating from within him.
At the same time, the old man's ferocious face turned deathly pale, his entire face devoid of color, and his expression looked extremely painful. He couldn't help but spit out bright red blood, mixed with a large amount of debris, which were fragments of his crushed internal organs.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the old man's body was sent flying backward like a soccer ball, crashing heavily into the downwind forest and creating a huge crater in the ground below. The old man's aura quickly weakened, and in the blink of an eye, the once imposing Nine-Star Half-Emperor was now a severely injured man.
At this moment, the old man was also filled with shock. With just a single aura, he had been severely injured. It was hard to imagine just how terrifying Xiao Yan's strength was at this moment.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand how Xiao Yan, whose strength was clearly only that of Five-Star Half-Emperor, could unleash power that could crush Nine-Star Half-Emperor. Why was that?!
Above the sky, Xiao Yan was enveloped in eerie white flames. His originally jet-black eyes had turned pure white, and his black hair had also turned eerie white in an instant. His aura was terrifying beyond imagination. In short, Xiao Yan at this moment was completely different from the Xiao Yan before.
Xiao Yan's expression was indifferent. With a thought, he appeared above the Xiao Yan man. The old man at the bottom of the giant pit, heavily injured, stared at Xiao Yan above him through the blur, feeling immense fear in his heart.
"Whoosh..."
The next instant, with a whooshing sound, Xiao Yan appeared in front of the old man.
Appearing before the old man in an instant, Xiao Yan couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in his white eyes, which then flashed with joy.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's sudden appearance, the old man's already pale face turned even more ashen, as if he were dead. The fear in his heart was beyond words.
"You... you... are..."
A hoarse voice struggled to escape his lips as the old man screamed madly in his heart, but his body was beyond his control. Despite his efforts, he could not voice the final question in his heart.
"Oh..."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, his expression unchanged from before.
"I told you, none of you are leaving today."
Hearing Xiao Yan's calm words, the old man felt as if he were in a freezing cellar, and his fear was beyond measure.
Standing before the old man, Xiao Yan felt the vast and boundless power within him, and a sense of longing welled up in his heart. This was the true powerhouse! With his current strength, he was indeed too weak!
Indeed, what Xiao Yan is currently controlling is the power originating from the Gu You within his body.
Seeing the look of terror on the old man's face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer. This old man was just like his master, bullying the weak and relying on his strength. Such a person would never have a good ending. Today, Xiao Yan killing him could be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people.
Raising his hand, Xiao Yan was about to make a move, but the next moment, the expression on Xiao Yan's face changed slightly. He saw that the old man's body was rapidly expanding, and the aura within his body suddenly became extremely violent.
"Is this guy actually going to self-destruct?"
His eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected this guy to be so decisive, willing to risk his life to make Xiao Yan his scapegoat. But unfortunately for him, Xiao Yan wouldn't let him continue like this.
With a cold laugh, Xiao Yan suddenly pointed a finger at the old man's brow. Simultaneously, a chilling white flame surged into the old man's body along with Xiao Yan's finger. Under the violent power of the Heavenly Flames, the old man's raging Dou Qi was naturally unable to withstand it. In just a few breaths, the old man's Dou Qi was completely burned away by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and then, his body...
"Well..."
With a painful roar filled with resentment, the old man's body was completely incinerated by the Heavenly Flames, turning into nothingness. Thus, a Nine-Star Half-Emperor died at Xiao Yan's hands.
With a detached look, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, a thought flashing through his mind. He soared into the sky once more, his eyes fixed on the direction Sun Che had fled, a smile playing on his lips.
"Hey, luck's on my side, it's unstoppable! Heavenly Severing Steps... Let me try it out and see what it feels like to reach the Great Completion of the Wind Movement Realm."
Just now, Xiao Yan unintentionally broke through to the Great Perfection of the Great Completion of the Wind Movement Realm the Heavenly Severing Steps, which he had been honing for months. As a result, Xiao Yan's speed was also suddenly boosted to a whole new level.
With a smile in his heart, Xiao Yan slowly swept his fair hand across the void in front of him, feeling the breeze passing through his fingertips. Xiao Yan Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, and then with a thought, his figure appeared hundreds of feet away in an instant.
Looking back, Xiao Yan could still see a nearly solid afterimage of himself standing where he had just been.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed. Although he was using the power of Gu You, he could still travel such a long distance with just a casual flash. Xiao Yan was almost certain that with his current speed and strength, he would no longer be at a disadvantage against Tian Ying if he faced him again.
Turning around, Xiao Yan was about to set off to chase after Sun Che.
If he escapes, Xiao Yan will then have to prepare to face the Four Great Sects, which is not what he wants to see.
But the next moment, just as he was about to set off, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown. He seemed to have forgotten about the guy who had caused him trouble.
With a thought, his Spiritual Strength rapidly spread out. At the same time, in the ruins below, scarred by the great battle, a delicate body, appearing extremely frail due to its injuries, was lifted from a intact rock by Xiao Yan's invisible Xiao Yan Spiritual Strength and slowly floated to his front.
Looking at the delicate body before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but recall the soft feeling he had when he pushed the girl down with both hands earlier. Since the girl had fallen directly in front of Xiao Yan, the location where his hands landed was self-evident.
Immediately, Xiao Yan 'Elder Zhang face turned bright red as if he had a fever. He quickly coughed twice, then remembered that he hadn't dealt with Sun Che yet. If Sun Che got away, it would be another big problem.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's expression finally recovered somewhat. He flicked his finger, and a black lightning bolt shot out instantly, quickly chasing after the direction Sun Che had fled.
