"Hmph! Boy, you're celebrating too soon! That was just luck. I don't believe you can improve your strength much in three months!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's calm smile, Tian Ying's blue eyes instantly blazed with fury. He roared, waved his hand, and with his fingers slightly bent, transformed his palms into claws. Then, he stomped his feet on the void, and his body shot out suddenly. His claws swung in unison, tearing through the void and creating a piercing sonic boom.
Upon hearing Tian Ying's words, Xiao Yan's lips curled slightly. He lightly touched the air with his toes, and his body swayed gently in the air like a small boat, tilting to the left. The next moment, a claw with unparalleled power grazed Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's face and flew away from his right side.
Three months is enough time to change many things, such as... the gap in strength between you and me.
A soft voice drifted out, and Xiao Yan turned around, casually using the Heavenly Severing Steps. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived behind Tian Ying.
"Ah?!"
Startled again, Tian Ying quickly stopped his charge, twisting his body and slashing down with his claws at Xiao Yan behind him.
With his calm, unwavering eyes fixed on the rapidly expanding claw before him, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged. He curled his lip, suddenly raised his hand from behind his back, and with a thought, a layer of purple-gold Long Lin instantly covered his entire right arm. He twisted his wrist, clenched his fist, and with a clang, clashed fiercely with the Tian Ying's claw.
"Bang!"
The two collided, and the surrounding void collapsed instantly, with an invisible ripple of energy spreading outwards.
Xiao Yan's body trembled violently, but he remained motionless in the void. On the other hand, the anger in Tian Ying's eyes quickly subsided after this attack, replaced by a deep sense of solemnity.
" Mid Five-Star Half-Emperor! How is that possible?!"
It should be noted that three months ago, Xiao Yan's strength had only just entered the Five-Star Half-Emperor. How could he have already reached the Mid Five-Star Half-Emperor in less than half a year?
Moreover, with Xiao Yan's terrifying speed, even at the Five-Star Half-Emperor level, he was already far ahead of Nine-Star Half-Emperor. It's hard to imagine that if he were to reach the future, even Dou Di experts wouldn't be able to do anything to him!
Seeing Xiao Yan and Tian Ying fighting to a standstill, Yan Shi and Xiong Gang couldn't help but frown slightly. When they heard Tian Ying's shocked words, their expressions changed even more.
However, when Murong Qianqian, who was in the forest below, saw this scene, she felt even more incredulous.
"This guy... could he be hiding his true strength? Otherwise, how could there be a monster of this level in this world!"
Murong Qianqian stared in shock at the scene in the sky, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
To fight Five-Star Half-Emperor to a draw with Nine-Star Half-Emperor is a feat that is probably unprecedented on the entire continent!
"Ha, nothing is impossible; it's just that your world is too small."
Hearing Tian Ying's incredulous words, Xiao Yan smiled and forcefully shook his outstretched fist. The immense force sent both Tian Ying and Xiao Yan staggering back several steps. They looked up, their expressions different.
"That brat's arrogant! Let's all attack together and take him down!"
Seeing that even Tian Ying couldn't suppress Xiao Yan's aura, Xiong Gang immediately took a step forward, glaring angrily at Xiao Yan, and his Dou Qi surged out of his body.
"Hahahaha! Indeed, this kid is making me more and more curious. A mere Five-Star Half-Emperor, yet he can unleash a power that none of us dare to underestimate. I really want to know, just where do you come from!"
Yan Shi laughed heartily, his face contorted with hunger. Then, he suddenly let out a fierce roar, his body trembled violently, and crimson battle Dou Qi surged wildly from every pore of his body. At the same time, he stomped hard on the void and charged toward Xiao Yan.
In the blink of an eye, the Yan Shi had arrived in front of Xiao Yan. It swung its giant fist, and crimson Dou Qi covered the Yan Shi's fist like flames, rushing towards Xiao Yan.
Facing the fierce attack from the Yan Shi, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan remarkably calm. As the giant fist approached, he leaned back slightly and simultaneously unleashed the Heavenly Severing Steps.
"Laugh"
The next moment, just as the Yan Shi's giant fist pierced through Xiao Yan's body, the former realized that what was in front of him was just an afterimage!
"Afterimage!"
With a startled cry, Yan Shi's expression changed instantly. Yan Shi spun around abruptly and, almost reflexively, threw a powerful punch backward.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Xiao Yan's body trembled violently, and the two of them retreated. At the same time, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. With a wave of his hand, a dazzling Heavenly Flames surged out and swept towards the Yan Shi.
"Bang!"
The powerful Dou Qi, mixed with terrifying scorching flames, poured down on the Yan Shi like a vast ocean.
Faced with this sudden burst of Heavenly Flames and strong wind, Yan Shi's expression changed drastically. However, before he could make a move, the Heavenly Flames and strong wind had already landed on him.
"Pfft!"
The terrifying Heavenly Flames slammed into the Yan Shi Yan Shi's chest, instantly turning its face crimson. The ribs on its chest cracked and splintered repeatedly, and then a mouthful of bright red blood was Yan Shi out. Its body flew backward uncontrollably, only to be caught by Xiong Gang was rushing to meet it.
"Arrogant brat! You'll pay for this!"
Xiong Gang raised his head, his eyes blazing with anger, and said sternly to Xiao Yan.
"I've heard this kind of talk far too many times, but I am still me."
"Whoosh--"
The Tian Ying flashed, its claws lashing out fiercely, aiming straight for Xiao Yan's throat.
"Boy! You've tested our patience time and again. Today, no matter what extra money you make, I'm determined to keep you here!"
With a sharp shout, Tian Ying appeared in front of Xiao Yan. His pair of azure eyes were now stained with crimson, and a bloodstain was gradually appearing in his heart.
" Blood Eagle Curse!"
As the hoarse shout fell, a crimson mist, as red as blood, suddenly surged out from the Tian Ying Tian Ying's body, swirling around it. Strange patterns appeared on its pair of white claws, and the Tian Ying's speed instantly increased.
