Looking down at the beauty who had fainted again in his arms, Xiao Yan's Elder Zhang turned bright red. Especially when the girl's alluring body came into view, Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan heart began to beat faster.
But Xiao Yan was, after all, an experienced person, and had some resistance to such things. In just a moment, the restless emotions that had just risen in Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan were quickly suppressed by him.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan waved his sleeve and unleashed his Dou Qi spirit, which transformed into a black robe on Murong Qianqian's delicate body, completely covering the girl's exposed snow-white body. Then, Xiao Yan gently placed her on the ground to the side.
Immediately following, the next moment, just as Xiao Yan got up and turned around, the burly man who had been blasted away by Xiao Yan's attack earlier also staggered out of the giant pit in the distance.
Just as the burly man looked up, Xiao Yan also happened to raise his gaze. Then, the two figures stared at each other from a distance of a hundred feet, their bodies seemingly frozen in time, completely still.
Xiao Yan remained unmoved by the burly man before him. However, the gentle warmth that had been present in his dark eyes vanished, replaced by a chilling indifference.
As for the burly man, he was also filled with rage at the young man who had ruined his plans, and he even wished he could tear him apart!
However, at the same time, the moment the burly man saw Xiao Yan, he realized that this seemingly young boy had already reached the level of Five-Star Half-Emperor. Compared to him, Xiao Yan was only one star away. Therefore, the burly man did not dare to be careless when he looked at Xiao Yan.
"Hmph, kid, I didn't expect you to be able to refine Emperor Grade Pill at such a young age. I must say, you really are a rare genius!"
As he spoke, the burly man slowly placed one hand behind his back, and with a thought, his Dou Qi surged within him, rapidly condensing in his palm.
"You want to steal the pills I refined?"
Xiao was naturally aware of the burly man's actions, but he didn't bother to pay attention and went straight to the point.
"Hehe, this elixir of yours is an unclaimed possession. As the saying goes, it will be obtained by the destined one. I am merely keeping it for you, so that it will not be wasted. But why would you say such a thing?"
The burly man gave a sinister smile, his expression gradually turning ruthless.
"Hehe, I personally refined these pills, so how can they be considered unclaimed? Unless..."
"Haha! You guessed right. Once you're dead, this elixir will become ownerless. So, kid! Die! If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being too stupid! You didn't even have the slightest suspicion of me, hahahaha!"
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, the burly man suddenly burst into laughter. With a shout, he appeared in front of Xiao Yan, clenched his fist, and with terrifying power in his palm, slammed his fist down towards Xiao Yan's head. If this punch landed, even with Xiao Yan's strength, he would surely die!
"Oh..."
However, even at this moment, Xiao Yan still let out a soft chuckle, slowly raising his gaze, his eyes filled with indifference as he stared at the burly man before him, and slowly spoke:
It's not that I'm not wary of you, it's just that with someone like you, being wary is completely unnecessary.
"Court death!"
Hearing that Xiao Yan dared to be so arrogant and presumptuous even in the face of death, the burly man was immediately enraged. He roared and his Dou Qi surged rapidly, making the power contained in his giant fist even more terrifying.
The next instant, the burly man's giant fist, which was larger than Xiao Yan's head and enveloped in Dou Qi, was less than an inch away from Xiao Yan's face. In the next moment, Xiao Yan would become another of the burly man's dead.
"Laugh..."
However, in the blink of an eye, the moment the burly man threw a punch that landed on Xiao Yan's face, his expression suddenly changed drastically. As his punch landed, Xiao Yan, who had been hit by his giant fist, vanished instantly, leaving nothing behind in the wind of the punch.
"Afterimage!"
Upon seeing this, the burly man's face turned even more horrified. He couldn't believe that at such close range, this young man in black robes had actually managed to perfectly dodge his attack!
"How is that possible!"
Amidst the shock, the burly man was still filled with disbelief. He never imagined that a Five-Star Half-Emperor could perfectly dodge his attack, which was from a Six-Star Half-Emperor, and in such a perilous way. Judging from the way it had just happened, Xiao Yan had clearly done it on purpose, which precisely demonstrated that Xiao Yan possessed a terrifying speed that allowed him to easily dodge all of his attacks!
Upon realizing this, the burly man was suddenly startled and couldn't help but doubt the true strength of the black-robed youth. After all, being able to easily dodge an attack from a Six-Star Half-Emperor was something that ordinary movement Dou Technique couldn't do, unless the opponent's strength was far superior to his own!
If that's really the case, then he's probably really messed up today!
"Hmph, now that you've already made your move, it's my turn."
Just as the burly man was filled with fear, a chillingly indifferent voice suddenly rang in his ear.
Upon hearing those words, the burly man's expression changed slightly, and his body trembled as he tried to retreat.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly appeared in front of the burly man, a cold and piercing smile on his pale face, and he stared into the man's eyes.
"Ah?!"
The suddenness of the moment caused the burly man's heart to tighten, and his pair of beast-red pupils suddenly contracted. Just as the burly man regained his senses, Xiao Yan chuckled coldly, then flipped his hand and slammed a palm into the burly man's chest.
" Soul Suppressing Seal!"
"Bang!"
With a powerful palm strike, a dull thud resounded as the burly man was sent flying uncontrollably. After several flips in mid-air, he crashed heavily to the ground, sliding nearly a hundred feet before collapsing like a lump of mud. His life force had completely dissipated, making him unmistakably dead.
