" Heavenly Flames! Who is this guy? He actually controls Heavenly Flames!"
High above the sky, Zhuo Bentang stared in horror at the black-robed figure below, his eyes filled with disbelief. Heavenly Flames —that was the power of heaven and earth! Even across the entire Origin Martial Continent, countless powerful figures coveted its power. However, all the Heavenly Flames on the continent had already become sentient, making subduing them virtually impossible. Yet this black-robed man actually possessed a Heavenly Flames —this was truly astonishing!
" Heavenly Flames... It seems that Xiao Yan possesses a Heavenly Flames."
However, upon hearing Zhuo Bentang's shocked words, Zhuo Lin narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Xiao Yan in the void below. At this moment, his Dou Qi subtly rose. If the person in question was indeed Xiao Yan, he would not hesitate to strike and capture him in one fell swoop.
On the other side, Bai Ying, who was keeping an eye on the Zhuo Clan, also noticed the change in Zhuo Lin's aura. Immediately, he frowned inwardly and, with a thought, quietly began to circulate his own Dou Qi.
"Young Master, since that's the case, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity..."
"No, don't forget, the Bai Clan is still here, eyeing us covetously. Although Bai Clan overall strength is not as great as ours, they are not to be underestimated. We cannot act rashly before we are truly certain that he is Xiao Yan."
Zhuo Bentang had just opened his mouth when Zhuo Lin shut him up with a single sentence. At the end of his sentence, his sharp eyes, like arrows, lingered on Xiao Yan below.
As far as he knew, Xiao Yan possessed the strongest strength below the Dou Di. Even he was quite concerned about the great battle in Hanxi City three months ago. Therefore, he dared not make a move against Xiao Yan easily, for fear of alerting him.
"What should we do then? Are we just going to stand here and watch him enter the ruins?"
Zhuo Bentang looked anxious. Xiao Yan was someone the Four Great Sects had specifically named to capture, and now he was right in front of them, while he was just watching. This really made him feel flustered. If this matter were to be reported back to the clan, he was afraid he would be punished by the clan leader.
"What's the panic? I, a Two-Star Dou Di, am not worried, yet you, a Three-Star Dou Di, are jumping around in a panic. Aren't you just making a fool of yourself in the Bai Clan!"
Zhuo Lin's face turned cold, and he reprimanded Zhuo Bentang in a cold voice. Upon hearing this, the latter was also startled and dared not say anything more, bowing and retreating.
Seeing this, Zhuo Lin let out a cold snort. His sharp gaze then swept over Bai Ying's location, only to find the latter looking at them with a cold smile. Zhuo Lin then withdrew his gaze, his expression turning icy, and focused it again on Xiao Yan below. At the same time, he spoke coldly to Zhuo Bentang beside him:
"Even if you don't want to alert him, it wouldn't be unreasonable for you to test him, unless he refuses to enter the ruins."
Upon hearing Zhuo Lin's words, Zhuo Bentang, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly brightened up, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Having been reprimanded by Zhuo Lin, he was just feeling a surge of anger that he hadn't yet vented. Zhuo Lin's words made him feel a surge of excitement.
"Haha, I obey! Let me see for myself whether this Heavenly Flames is as powerful as the legends say!"
With a sinister laugh, Zhuo Bentang's body suddenly trembled, and the surging Dou Qi within him immediately circulated rapidly through his meridians. Then, he leaped into the air, and his body transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Zhuo Bentang Xiao Yan in the void below with lightning speed.
"Haha, I've long heard of the power of this Heavenly Flames. Now that I've seen it for myself, I can't resist the urge to experience it firsthand. I wonder if you would do me the honor of letting me witness its Heavenly Flames!"
As Zhuo Bentang rapidly descended, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan below. With a wave of his hand, surging Dou Qi instantly condensed in his palm, forming a dazzling ball of Dou Qi light the size of a basketball in an instant. The terrifying aura emanating from it caused even the Dou Di experts in the void above to show a deep sense of solemnity.
Judging from this stance alone, everyone knew that this wasn't a test, but a deliberate attempt to take lives!
At the same time, Xiao Yan below turned around abruptly the moment Zhuo Bentang charged towards him. His dark eyes, hidden beneath his black robe, were fixed on Zhuo Bentang, who was descending from the sky. His brows were furrowed, and his hands, hidden beneath his sleeves, clenched tightly.
"Damn it, we were so focused on the blood mist that we forgot about them!"
With a solemn expression, Xiao Yan stared at Zhuo Bentang, who was rapidly descending from the sky. He cursed under his breath and glanced at the three Tian Ying beside him, but ultimately turned his head away.
Facing a direct attack from a Three-Star Dou Di expert, Xiao Yan didn't think he had the ability to withstand it. Of course, if he wanted to dodge, it wouldn't be difficult for him. But the problem was that Xiao Yan Tian Ying the other two were still beside him. If he dodged, they would be the ones to suffer.
" Elder Gu..."
"Go then, consider this the last time I'll act for you!"
Left with no other choice, Xiao Yan had to place his hopes on Gu You. However, the moment Xiao Yan opened his mouth, Gu You interrupted him with a single sentence, and at the same time, an extremely powerful force suddenly surged out from Xiao Yan's body.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan's aura had reached an extremely terrifying level. The pale white Heavenly Flames surged wildly within Xiao Yan's body, and powerful forces continued to surge forth. Xiao Yan's aura also rose rapidly. In just a moment, the power within Xiao Yan's body had far surpassed that of Zhuo Bentang, who was rapidly descending at this moment. However, under the cover of the black robe on Xiao Yan's body, no one outside noticed what was happening within his body.
The speed of Dou Di expert is terrifying. Just as Xiao Yan's aura surged wildly, the distance between him and Zhuo Bentang was reduced to only a few meters in an instant.
A fierce gust of wind tore through the invisible void between the two, the sharp sound of the wind breaking echoing throughout the world like roars. The powerful wind pressure was nothing to Xiao Yan's black robe. At this moment, Zhuo Bentang wore a sinister smile. Although he didn't know why Xiao Yan hadn't made a move yet, he was certain that with his strength as a Three-Star Dou Di, at such close range, even if the person in front of him wanted to fight back, it would already be too late.
"Haha, die!"
Zhuo Bentang let out a sinister laugh, raised his palm and slammed it down on Xiao Yan's head. A ball of Dou Qi the size of a basketball crashed down, and the pressure emanating from it alone was enough to instill fear in people's hearts.
This attack would be impossible for even an ordinary Dou Di expert to withstand, let alone this mere Half-Emperor!
At this moment, Zhuo Bentang believed that regardless of whether the person in front of him was Xiao Yan or not, he had already become a dead man under his command!
For him, if the person in front of him was indeed Xiao Yan, it would naturally be a good thing. Bringing him back would not only make a great contribution to the Zhuo Clan, but he would also receive a reward from the Heavenly Sword Sect. This would be an endless good thing. On the other hand, even if the person in front of him was not Xiao Yan, if he Zhuo Bentang him and obtained the Heavenly Flames in his body, his future would also be bright!
With this thought in mind, Zhuo Bentang's sinister smile became even more vicious and venomous, and his dark eyes were filled with greed.
"Haha, die! Don't blame me for this. Blame yourself for possessing the Heavenly Flames. No matter what, you are doomed to die today!"
A cold laugh escaped his lips once more, and the already powerful aura of Dou Qi qi in Zhuo Bentang's palm suddenly shone even brighter, its terrifying aura causing the surrounding void to ripple violently.
However, immediately afterward, just as the ball of Dou Qi was only inches away from Xiao Yan's head, Xiao Yan, clad in black robes, suddenly shuddered. Instantly, an extremely Dou Qi pressure of Dou Qi, like a terrifying storm, swept out from Xiao Yan's body, blasting Zhuo Bentang, who was in the lead, away with a single blow.
The wide black robe fluttered without wind, and an incomparably powerful aura descended upon everyone like Mount Tai. At this moment, the faces of everyone in the world turned deathly pale, and even their breathing gradually became labored.
"Pfft..."
The body of Zhuo Bentang, blasted away, slammed uncontrollably into the ground below. The terrifying force instantly sank Zhuo Bentang's body deep into the earth. At the same time as the loud crash, a mouthful of bright red blood gushed uncontrollably from Zhuo Bentang's mouth.
Meanwhile, in the sky above, all the powerful figures, including Zhuo Lin and Bai Ying from the Zhuo Clan and Bai Clan, stared in horror at the black-robed figure below.
"He... this..."
"His strength... is actually..."
" Four-Star Dou Di!"
Their voices were filled with shock and disbelief; even their voices became hoarse as they spoke.
Ignoring the shocked crowd, a pair of eyes filled with eerie white flames slowly descended from beneath the black robe, staring at Zhuo Bentang, who was deeply embedded in the earth below. After a long while, an old and cold voice echoed in the world.
"You dare to test my strength?"
