In the empty passage, the energy storm dissipated, and a soft golden light gradually filled the passage. At this moment, two figures, one in black and one in white, stood facing each other on one side of the passage.
The ground between the two was torn apart by the powerful force of their collision, with cracks spreading rapidly like a spiderweb until they reached the ground beneath their feet.
"Hmph, I didn't expect the Hulk to recover to this extent in just two days. But with this much, you're far too confident to defeat me."
Inside the passage, the seemingly elegant young man in white spoke words that sounded chilling and piercing, his sarcasm and disdain undisguised.
"It's you... Sun Hanxi."
Opposite him, at this moment, Xiao Yan, his brows furrowed beneath his black robe, spoke in a solemn tone.
As he finished speaking, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength surged wildly from between his brows, rapidly spreading outwards along the passage, meticulously exploring every inch.
Since the other party is the young master of the Sun Clan, one of the Four Great Clans, it would be really troublesome if the entire Sun Clan gathered here!
"Haha, you truly live up to your reputation as the renowned Xiao Yan of the Western Region. You seem to know quite a bit about our Four Great Clans."
At this moment, Sun Hanxi looked at Xiao Yan opposite him with disdain. Judging from the previous collision, the power that Xiao Yan was showing was far from enough to fight against him. In other words, he could easily kill Xiao Yan right here!
As Sun Hanxi finished speaking, Xiao Yan swiftly withdrew the Spiritual Strength he had spread out.
After some investigation, Xiao Yan did not detect any other unusual auras in the surroundings. It seemed that Xiao Yan was only facing Sun Hanxi at the moment.
Upon seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face beneath his black robe. If Sun Hanxi were with her father, Xiao Yan would indeed have no choice but to retreat. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that she was separated from her family members when they first entered the ruins. In that case, she is not worth worrying about.
The next moment, just as Xiao Yan was having an idea, Sun Hanxi, dressed in flowing white robes, suddenly moved and appeared in front of Xiao Yan in a flash. Her body twisted in mid-air, and a whip kick came crashing down on Xiao Yan's head.
"Today I'll show you the power of Dou Di expert!"
As Sun Hanxi 'Xiao Yan cold shout fell, powerful Dou Qi rapidly condensed on the calf that was about to slam down on Xiao Yan's ears.
The wind howled, and an invisible gust of wind, like a sharp blade, descended upon Xiao Yan's head. In just a moment, Xiao Yan would die from Sun Hanxi's attack!
To take a life with such ruthlessness in just the first direct confrontation, it has to be said that Sun Hanxi truly deserves to be called a cruel and ruthless person!
However, despite this, Xiao Yan's expression remained completely unmoved. His pair of dark, clear eyes were unusually calm, like a still lake, calm yet carrying a hint of eeriness...
The next moment, just as Sun Hanxi was about to strike Xiao Yan's head, a black light suddenly flashed out from Xiao Yan's side. At the same time, a forgiving hand radiating purple-gold light grabbed Sun Hanxi's ankle as it was about to strike Xiao Yan.
"Bang!"
A dull thud, like metal colliding with metal, rang out. The next instant, Sun Hanxi's expression froze, and disbelief quickly appeared in his eyes.
"What!"
Startled, Sun Hanxi reacted with astonishing speed. In the next moment, she twisted her body in mid-air and stomped her other foot hard on the suddenly appearing figure.
However...
"Bang!"
Sun Hanxi's attack was met with another fist as hard as steel, which slammed heavily into the center of his foot. Instantly, the immense force caused his foot and entire leg to go numb.
At the same time, several bones were squeezed together violently, producing a series of dull bone-crushing sounds. A sharp pain shot through him, and Sun Hanxi's face turned deathly pale in an instant. Beads of cold sweat quickly poured from his entire body. The excruciating pain caused him to tremble violently.
Immediately afterward, the Northern King, who was standing still, suddenly twisted his burly body, and then his right knee slammed into Sun Hanxi's abdomen. Instantly, a tremendous force was unleashed, and Sun Hanxi's body flew backward like a deflated balloon with a thud.
Even so, Xiao Yan still dared not be careless. Although Sun Hanxi did seem to be seriously injured, she was, after all, a Dou Di expert. Her physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. The Northern King's attack just now seemed powerful, but in reality, it was just some superficial pain. It was not so easy to really seriously injure a Dou Di expert.
With a thought, Xiao Yan stopped the Northern King from making another move. Beneath his black robe, Xiao Yan revealed a pair of dark eyes, his gaze calmly fixed on Sun Hanxi opposite him.
Having suffered two heavy blows in succession, Sun Hanxi was not seriously injured, but she looked extremely disheveled.
"Is this... a puppet?"
Slowly raising his head, Sun Hanxi's eyes instantly fixed on the Northern King opposite him. If it weren't for him, Xiao Yan would already be a dead man under his feet.
"But what's with this puppet...? The bloody aura emanating from it... I feel like I've sensed it somewhere before?"
However, Sun Hanxi couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of suspicion appearing in his eyes. The cold, murderous, and heavy bloody aura emanating from the Northern King seemed familiar to him...
Suddenly, something seemed to strike Sun Hanxi's mind. She abruptly looked up, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yan opposite her. A chilling killing intent surged within her eyes. After a long pause, she spoke in an icy voice:
" Sun Che... did you kill him?!"
