Xiao Yan looked at the seven black mists surrounding him, his brows furrowed slightly, and a solemn expression crossed his face.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at the Third Hall Master again and said:
"There doesn't seem to be any enmity between us, right? Besides, I'm new here too. Although I injured the Old Ghost Yan Mo that day, it doesn't seem like I did anything to him."
Upon hearing this, the Old Ghost Yan Mo's face instantly turned ferocious, his eyes blazing as he glared at Xiao Yan, and roared:
"Hmph! Xiao Yan, if you hadn't ambushed me, how could I have been injured by you!"
" Xiao Yan! Take this palm strike from me!"
Before the words were even finished, the Old Ghost Yan Mo became anxious and, without waiting for the Third Hall Master's order, let out a furious roar.
With a swift movement, he unleashed a palm strike towards Xiao Yan.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan revealed a cold smile.
He swung his right arm in front of him, then clenched his fist. At the same time, the Heavenly Flames within his body surged out from his skin, covering his entire body.
This made Xiao Yan look like a brightly colored fireman.
Enveloped in the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, his bright eyes gleaming slightly, a ray of light flashing within them.
Xiao Yan swung his right arm suddenly, his body trembled, and he charged towards the Old Ghost Yan Mo.
"Boom!"
A massive wave of fire swept across the sky, obscuring everyone's view.
The Third Hall Master's expression shifted slightly; beneath the black mist, a pair of gloomy eyes emitted specks of dark light.
"This Xiao Yan has actually raised his strength to the Peak Two-Star Half-Emperor level in just two months. It's truly astonishing!"
"If it's just because of his awakened bloodline, then this Xiao Yan is truly extraordinary!"
"It seems that Xiao Yan cannot be allowed to live. This time, we must capture him!"
As the thought flashed through his mind, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in the Third Hall Master's eyes.
Just as he was about to make a move, the Third Hall Master's expression changed once again.
With a flick of his sleeve, a black burst of energy shot out, followed by another loud bang.
The sound was accompanied by a painful scream, and the figure of the Old Ghost Yan Mo appeared below the wave of fire.
"Hmph! Useless trash!"
The Third Hall Master snorted coldly without turning his head, then his eyes flashed, and the wave of fire in front of Third Hall Master was directly separated.
The flames were broken apart, revealing Xiao Yan's figure. Xiao Yan turned around and met the eyes of the Third Hall Master.
Where their eyes met, a flash of fire appeared, and Xiao Yan's body suddenly trembled, taking three steps back.
The Third Hall Master sneered, and with a swift movement, he unleashed a punch at Xiao Yan.
As the fist passed by, the wind howled, and the space around the Third Hall Master shattered, revealing large Void Space.
Wherever the Third Hall Master passed, the space turned into a vacuum, which slowly healed after a long while.
All of this, though it sounds like a long story, actually happened in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan could do a lot of things, but at this Xiao Yan, he seemed powerless.
Xiao Yan's face was solemn. A Seven-Star Half-Emperor was indeed not someone he could easily shake. The gap between the two of them was still too great.
The space around him had already been locked, making it impossible to escape.
As Xiao Yan watched the approaching punch, his expression hardened. With a thought, his Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline was activated, and golden Long Lin instantly covered his entire body.
With a jolt, he stepped into the void and instantly charged towards the Third Hall Master.
" Yellow Springs Palm!"
Xiao Yan let out a roar, his Dou Qi rapidly gathering, and immediately met the Third Hall Master's fierce punch.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar erupted, and a surge of powerful energy swept across the heavens and earth, obliterating the still-burning flames.
Above the sky, the figure of the Third Hall Master stood tall, while Xiao Yan was blasted hundreds of feet away with a loud bang, and finally, with a cracking sound, he was forcefully embedded in a giant mountain.
Even so, the Third Hall Master, standing upright in the void, still frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and he murmured to himself:
"I never imagined that Xiao Yan's physical body would be so terrifying. With only 30% of my Seven-Star Half-Emperor strength, I still couldn't cripple his arm. It's truly chilling."
But then, the Third Hall Master's gaze turned icy cold again as he looked at the giant mountain that Xiao Yan had crashed down.
The Third Hall Master clenched his fist again, making a series of cracking sounds, and the dry, sallow skin at his knuckles turned slightly white.
Immediately afterwards, the Third Hall Master vanished in a flash, along with the thick black mist surrounding him.
At the same time, a cold wind inexplicably swept across the land.
A cold wind blew, which then formed several whistling tornadoes, creating a howling sound as they swirled among the crowd, appearing quite strange.
The next instant, the Third Hall Master, who had been rushing towards Xiao Yan, suddenly let out a roar.
"Roar! Xiao Yan! How dare you toy with this Palace Master! You're courting death! Today, this Palace Master will skin you alive and tear your tendons apart!"
The Third Hall Master turned around with bloodshot eyes, his face twitching with rage. His aura suddenly surged, causing the black mist around him to ripple like waves.
To his surprise, even under the influence of his Seven-Star Half-Emperor level power, Xiao Yan was able to disappear silently from his sight.
This made him, a high-ranking Seven-Star Half-Emperor, feel a sense of humiliation.
A cold wind swept by, and then a figure in white appeared high in the sky, looking at the Third Hall Master with a mocking expression.
The Third Hall Master's face twitched, and he mobilized all his Dou Qi. In a flash, he appeared in front of Xiao Yan Xiao Yan and threw a punch at him.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan was greatly alarmed. He leaned back slightly, spread his arms, and with a whooshing sound beneath his feet, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
Unfortunately, even though Xiao Yan reacted very quickly, the Third Hall Master's punch still left a shallow fist mark on Xiao Yan's chest.
Xiao Yan's figure flashed, appearing a hundred feet away.
"Puff!"
Xiao Yan opened his mouth wide, his face flushed red, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then looked at his chest, where there was a palm-sized bloodstain.
Xiao Yan's face twitched slightly, and he thought to himself with a somewhat solemn expression:
"This Seven-Star Half-Emperor's strength is truly formidable. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, that punch alone would probably have been enough to severely injure me and render me unable to fight."
As Xiao Yan thought this to himself, he felt a chill run down his spine. Seven-Star Half-Emperor was indeed someone he could not contend with!
If you can't even withstand a single heavy punch from someone, how can you fight to the death with them?
"Heh, what's wrong? You're already not confident? Don't you still have a Human Class Dou Technique? Are you afraid of him?"
