"You... Xiao... Xiao Yan!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Zhao Xian was instantly struck dumb. His pale face was instantly filled with horror. Then, as he took several steps back, his horrified eyes frantically scanned the sky above, as if he were afraid of something.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, the curve of his lips widening as he coldly said:
"Ha, no need to look anymore. They left long ago. Now, it's just the two of us here."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zhao Xian slowly withdrew his gaze, still feeling lingering fear. At the same time, a hint of ferocity appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yan.
" Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to still be here."
A deep voice slowly escaped Zhao Xian's Zhao Xian, but due to his current state, the voice sounded somewhat weak and feeble, like that of an old man in his twilight years.
Nevertheless, it's not hard to discern the resentment and murderous intent hidden within those words.
It was all because of Xiao Yan that he had his arm forcibly severed, and that he had been hiding in the mountains for several days like a stray dog, looking disheveled. Now, seeing that Xiao Yan was safe and sound, Zhao Xian's anger was naturally hard to suppress.
"Hehe... I didn't expect you to dare come back here again either. It seems that the Ultimate Transformation Pill is quite tempting to you."
With a light laugh, Xiao Yan's gaze shifted downwards to the severed arm that was being controlled by Zhao Xian and slowly floating into the air—or more accurately, the Storage Ring worn on the fingers of that severed arm.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xian's expression immediately turned gloomy, his scarlet eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and his boundless killing intent needed no further explanation.
"Hmph, Xiao Yan, you dare to covet my Ultimate Transformation Pill?!"
After a long while, Zhao Xian finally managed to utter a hoarse voice. As he spoke, it was clear that Zhao Xian body was trembling slightly due to the killing intent in his chest. Wisps of pale white Dou Qi Zhao Xian emerged from his body, and his complexion regained a rosy hue under the influence of this Dou Qi.
"Kindness?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although Zhao Xian was so weak at the moment, he was still a Dou Di expert. If Xiao Yan dared to be careless, he might get a bite from this guy.
"Hmph, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have the ability to snatch this Ultimate Transformation Pill from you. However, since you happened to appear in front of me in this state, I'll accept this Ultimate Transformation Pill without hesitation today."
With a cold laugh, Xiao Yan was not afraid. Even if Zhao Xian was still difficult to deal with, did he think he was easy to mess with? Seven days ago, he, Xiao Yan, was able to break Zhao Xian's arm. Seven days later, he could take this guy's life!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan flashed forward, unleashing the Heavenly Severing Steps. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Zhao Xian. The muscles on his right arm bulged, and then, his fair hand suddenly clenched into a fist. As his Dou Qi surged, he slammed his fist down hard on Zhao Xian's head.
"Snort!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's attack, Zhao Xian's pupils first contracted slightly, then turned into a cold snort. As he leaned to the side, he suddenly raised his right leg and kicked Xiao Yan's incoming fist.
With his right arm empty and his left arm, whose bones had been broken by Xiao Yan, also temporarily unusable, Zhao Xian had no choice but to focus all his strength on his legs.
"Bang!"
Upon being struck, Xiao Yan and Zhao Xian both flew backward.
With a powerful jolt, Xiao Yan stood firmly in the void. On the other side, Zhao Xian was not to be outdone. He stomped his right foot hard on the void, unleashing tremendous force, and Zhao Xian also stood steadily in the void.
"Snort."
With a soft snort, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed, and his expression turned stern.
Although the clash was brief, Xiao Yan could sense that even though Zhao Xian's strength was not what it used to be, it was still unlikely that Xiao Yan could defeat him in a short time.
Even in his weakened state, Zhao Xian would be too powerful for an ordinary Half-Emperor to defeat. But unfortunately for him, Xiao Yan is no ordinary Half-Emperor!
"Call..."
Exhaling softly, Xiao Yan slowly raised his right arm. The next moment, as Zhao Xian looked up at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan suddenly let out a low shout. At the same time, his raised right palm clenched tightly, and with a flash of black light, the heavy black ruler instantly landed in Xiao Yan's hand.
Upon seeing the heavy ruler, Zhao Xian's expression subtly changed. He revealed his weapon, indicating that Xiao Yan was also planning to unleash his true strength.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xian felt a chill run down his spine. However, he had no time to think it over, and Xiao Yan, wielding a heavy ruler, charged at Zhao Xian once again.
"Hmph, trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune? Not so easy!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Xian's thoughts stirred, and his Dou Qi surged once more, quickly covering his legs as he faced Xiao Yan head-on without dodging or avoiding him.
"Bang!"
A deafening bang echoed through the heavens and earth. Xiao Yan's heavy ruler, swung down from above, was forcefully blocked by Zhao Xian. In this exchange, the two were evenly matched!
"Snort!"
Zhao Xian snorted coldly, his body retreating again, his steps concealing his violently trembling right leg, and his uncertain expression quickly calmed down.
Clearly, despite his outwardly nonchalant demeanor, Zhao Xian, who was at a disadvantage in every aspect, was actually under considerable pressure facing Xiao Yan.
"Well..."
The first attack failed, which surprised Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan immediately raised the giant ruler in his hand again, leaped forward, and charged forward once more.
Seeing Xiao Yan attack again, Zhao Xian on the opposite side dared not underestimate him. As he moved swiftly, the little Dou Qi left in his body surged out of his body once more.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sounds of continuous collisions echoed across the sky, and waves of surging energy swept across the entire heavens like ocean waves. The invisible void collapsed continuously under this power, and the entire world changed color.
