"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense. I don't care whether they made a move or not. All I know is that my Sun Clan has neither given up on capturing Xiao Yan nor been defeated. But your Bai Clan has already lost. Xiao Yan belongs to the Sun Clan!"
His expression changed slightly. Sun Shuo was also somewhat angry. His family's few Nine-Star Half-Emperor had made him, the dignified head of the Sun Clan family, lose face. Even now, saying these words made Sun Shuo feel ashamed.
"Hmph, since Clan Chief Sun is resorting to sophistry, there's no need for further discussion. Today, Xiao Yan is already in the Bai Clan's possession, and I will take him away no matter what. If Clan Chief Sun insists on keeping him, then he may fight me. If you win, Xiao Yan belongs to your Sun Clan; otherwise, he belongs to my Bai Clan!"
Upon hearing Sun Shuo's words, Bai Ying's face immediately turned cold. At the same time, with a thought, the Dou Qi within his body surged forth. Purple lightning coiled around Bai Ying like a giant python, and the terrifying aura caused the surrounding void to tremble.
Upon seeing this, the crowd below erupted in uproar. They hadn't expected that the Bai Clan patriarch would possess lightning-attribute Dou Qi.
Lightning-attribute Dou Qi is one of the most powerful Dou Qi attributes, and ordinary experts rarely get entangled with it when they encounter an opponent of the same level.
After all, the domineering nature of lightning is not only manifested in its terrifying power, but its paralyzing effect can also greatly influence the course of battle. Therefore, ordinary strong people rarely fight against such people unless absolutely necessary.
Upon seeing that Bai Ying had already raised his Dou Qi, Sun Shuo's expression changed, but a subtle glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
His eyes narrowed, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and his body trembled. Instantly, a cloud of blue vapor rose around Sun Shuo. Within the small bubbles formed by the vapor, upon closer inspection, one could see tiny, earthy-yellowish lights swirling within them...
Upon seeing this scene in the sky, the crowd below erupted in uproar once again. In comparison, Sun Shuo was actually a water-attribute Dou Di powerhouse. Since the two were at the same level, if they were to fight, Bai Ying would probably have the upper hand in the end.
Although the battle between the two has not yet begun, the onlookers have already guessed the general situation.
"Hmph, Sun Shuo, let's see how your water-attribute Dou Qi can fight me!"
Bai Ying sneered, and with a thought, the giant lightning python coiled around him coiled around Sun Shuo and let out a piercing roar.
"Hmph! Bai Ying, you're seriously underestimating your clan leader!"
But at that moment, Sun Shuo let out a mocking laugh, and then waved his hand. The large patch of water vapor that had condensed around him quickly merged and solidified, turning into a slightly viscous, yellowish-brown liquid in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ying's expression tightened slightly, his brows furrowed, and he sensed something was amiss.
"Haha, Bai Ying, this Water-Rock Dou Qi was created by my clan leader with tremendous effort, using the help of a high-level earth-attribute magical beast. I extracted and condensed it from its body before finally succeeding in fusing it into this Water-Rock Dou Qi. My current Dou Qi is just right to suppress your Thunder Python!"
Sun Shuo grinned maliciously, a look of disdain on his face. Indeed, in the past, Sun Shuo had often been taken advantage of by Bai Ying because of his Dou Qi attribute. But now, with this Water-Rock Dou Qi, it would be difficult for Bai Ying to suppress him. This was one of the reasons why Sun Shuo dared to compete with Bai Ying head-on for Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing Sun Shuo's words, Bai Ying felt a sense of unease. If this was the case, the outcome of their battle was truly uncertain. However...
"Haha, very well, since Brother Sun Shuo wants to fight, then I'll give you a good fight. However, if your Sun Clan is destroyed in the end, don't blame me!"
However, the cold laugh that followed from Bai Ying made Sun Shuo, whose expression had just recovered, tense up again. Although he desperately wanted to tear Bai Ying apart, he also knew that defeating Bai Ying would not be easy. Moreover, if he really fought him, his vast family, which he had painstakingly built up over many years in Xiaxia City, would be destroyed!
" Bai Ying! You're using this to pressure me again!"
"Haha, what's wrong, Brother Sun Shuo? Don't you really care about your family? If that's the case, then come on! It's been a long time since I've had a proper fight. Let me take this opportunity to see just how much your strength has increased over the years!"
Facing Sun Shuo Bai Ying smiled coldly, seemingly completely unconcerned. As he spoke, he clenched his fist, and a purple spear appeared in his hand, its tip pointing directly at Sun Shuo Bai Ying.
The sharp spear tip, enveloped in Dou Qi aura, reflected a chilling light, sending a shiver of danger through those around it.
Staring at the spear in Bai Ying's hand, Sun Shuo's eyes showed a struggle, until after a long while, he finally let out a hateful snort, waved his hand, and the viscous Dou Qi that had gathered on his body surface gradually flowed into his body.
"Hmph! Fine, this time, even if you win, I won't lay a hand on you, but..."
He said this bitterly, and then Sun Shuo's gaze slowly moved down to look at the Half-Emperor experts on the ground in the city.
"I'm giving you two choices now. First, capture Xiao Yan for me, dead or alive. If you capture him, I'll give each of you two third-tier pills as a reward. Second, you can refrain from fighting, but today, none of you will leave Hanxi City! Stay here forever, so that everyone outside will know the consequences of daring to defy the Sun Clan in Hanxi City!"
Sun Shuo's tone was cold and devoid of any emotion. At this moment, he showed no mercy even to those Nine-Star Half-Emperor experts from the Sun Clan.
For Sun Shuo, his Sun Clan had already lost all face today, and these Nine-Star Half-Emperor below were the culprits. In addition, with his anger rising in his heart, how could he possibly speak kindly?
Upon hearing this, the group of Half-Emperor present immediately felt a sense of dread. Sun Shuo had already placed a knife to their throats; if they didn't move, they would die. Of course, although they knew that fighting Xiao Yan would not end well either, it was still better than death.
At this moment, everyone below unconsciously turned their gazes toward Xiao Yan in the void above, their eyes filled with helplessness, fear, and a hint of madness.
After all, in contrast to death, the reward they would receive for capturing Xiao Yan would also be extremely generous.
Two third-tier pills—something they couldn't obtain even if they gave everything they had. If they could get their hands on just one, the strength of these Half-Emperor present would receive a qualitative boost!
This is something that can't help but drive them crazy.
After feeling the various gazes directed at him by the Half-Emperor in the world, Xiao Yan's expression had returned to calm. After Bai Ying withstood the pressure of the Dou Di, the flow of Dou Qi within his body had returned to normal. Now, if a fight broke out, Xiao Yan would not fear any of the Half-Emperor present. Of course, he did not know what the scene would be like if all the Half-Emperor below attacked together.
With a hint of curiosity and a sense of probing, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, only to find Bai Ying looking at him with a half-smile. This sight startled Xiao Yan, but then he took a deep breath, his golden eyes slowly closing. The next moment, as he opened his eyes, a rather domineering voice suddenly came from Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan.
"In that case, all of you come at me together!"
