As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the surrounding crowd began to whisper among themselves, and everyone couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Yan's arrogance and audacity.
Even if he's Third-Tier Alchemist, isn't this personality a bit too arrogant? Without the help of Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi, relying solely on this frail body, he actually wants to go head-to-head with a strong man whose physique far surpasses his own. This is practically tantamount to suicide!
Compared to the regretful sighs on everyone's faces, Fang Qian and Murong Qianqian appeared much calmer at this moment.
Murong Qianqian, of course, needs no further explanation. Based on her understanding of Xiao Yan, he is definitely not a person who acts impulsively. Whenever he makes a move, he must have a plan. Since Xiao Yan dares to face this big man alone, perhaps he does have the ability.
As for Fang Qian, although he also felt some worry, he believed that Xiao Yan, as Third-Tier Alchemist, would not do such a thing without a reason.
When the burly man saw Xiao Yan make such a provocative gesture, his fierce eyes turned ruthless, and a surge of anger welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"Snort!"
With a cold snort, the burly man glared angrily at Xiao Yan, his huge hands slowly clenching together. The terrifying force caused the surrounding void to tremble.
"Kid, you've got guts! I'll settle this with one punch! I'll show you which is more important, talent or strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man slammed his fists together in front of his chest. The dull thud caused the surrounding void to tremble violently, and at the same time, a piercing buzzing sound reverberated in the ears of everyone present, making it unbearable.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, slowly placed his left hand behind his back, raised his right hand, twisted his wrist, and turned his palm towards the burly man, saying in a deep voice:
"Please."
As soon as the word "please" was uttered, a fierce look immediately appeared on the burly man's fleshy face. Xiao Yan's repeated contempt had truly enraged him.
His burly body suddenly jolted, his right fist retracted to his lower back, and then he slammed his foot down on the paving stone. A terrifying force erupted from beneath his foot, instantly shattering the ground beneath him into a pile of dust. At the same time, a footprint several inches deep was left where the big man had landed.
Then, the burly man's body, like a cannonball, moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye. He leaned to the side and threw a punch straight at Xiao Yan's face.
"Kid, remember this: this is the consequence of your arrogance!"
The heavy voice echoed like a deep roar of a beast. At the same time, Fang Qian behind Xiao Yan couldn't help but mobilize the Dou Qi within his body.
As Third-Tier Alchemist, Xiao Yan would be treated like a VIP upon entering the auction house, a level of service even Dou Di expert couldn't match. If such a person were injured in front of his auction house today, wouldn't Heavenly Cloud Auction House be unable to associate with him again?
Thinking of this, Fang Qian's expression changed slightly, and a sense of resentment rose in his heart towards the big man. If this big man really dared to hurt Xiao Yan today, he would definitely not hesitate to take action and kill all five of them!
This is the allure of a Third-Tier Alchemist!
However, in the next moment, just as everyone present looked at Xiao Yan with regret, and as Fang Qian's old face grew increasingly cold, the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth slowly turned up, revealing a slight smile.
Immediately, his outstretched palm tilted slightly to the side, at an extremely strange angle, blocking the giant man's enormous fist.
Upon seeing this, the burly man's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. He hadn't expected that even at this point, Xiao Yan would still be able to defend against his attack.
However, it was all too late. The giant man's fist was already right in front of Xiao Yan's face, only a foot away. Even if Xiao Yan tried to protect himself with his hands, how could he possibly withstand it?
"Drink!"
With a cold laugh, the burly man's expression became even more ferocious, and the power of his giant fist, which he unleashed at Xiao Yan, grew increasingly terrifying.
"Bang!"
However, the next moment...
When the giant man's fist slammed down, it was as if it had struck a city wall. The immense power of the fist was easily blocked by a fair hand that looked like a woman's.
"This..."
This comical yet dramatic scene caused the expressions on everyone's faces to freeze instantly. At this moment, everyone present was like a statue, their bodies frozen in place, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
The scene before them was truly unbelievable, to the point of being completely incredulous.
The powerful punch from that burly man was so easily blocked by Xiao Yan. Moreover, Xiao Yan's hand didn't tremble at all while blocking the punch, which means that the punch from that burly man had no chance of even shaking Xiao Yan!
"This... how is this possible!?"
The burly man stared at his fist, which had been blocked by Xiao Yan, his heart filled with fear. He simply couldn't believe that this seemingly frail young man in black robes could possess such terrifying physical strength!
He was certain that Xiao Yan hadn't used a single bit of Dou Qi in the clash just now; he had relied solely on his physical strength.
"Heh, it seems you have lost."
A warm, harmless smile appeared on Xiao Yan's handsome face. Then, his palm trembled slightly, and instantly, a terrifying force, like Flood Dragon Emerges from the Sea, erupted from Xiao Yan's palm, blasting the big man away in a single exchange.
Astonished by the distance, the burly man's expression changed drastically. His massive body, like a bear, involuntarily staggered backward, each step causing the ground beneath his feet to collapse.
Only after the burly man stumbled back dozens of steps did he crash heavily into the crowd behind him, causing them to fall. Only then did the burly man come to a stop.
At this moment, everyone in the world looked at Xiao Yan with utter horror.
