As the golden beam of light gradually dissipated, the horrified crowd slowly came to their senses. Everyone stared with lingering fear at the spot where the golden beam of light had disappeared, where more than a dozen Dou Di powerhouses had also perished.
Fear surged in everyone's hearts. At this moment, even Xiao Yan had no choice but to mobilize his internal Dou Qi, ready to face any unforeseen events in the battle.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Immediately afterward, before anyone present could catch their breath, the massive golden array above their heads began to operate once more, hissing sounds emanating from the golden light, and the golden light emanating from the entire array gradually intensified.
Upon seeing this, the powerful Dou Di experts in the void were immediately startled, and they all unleashed their Dou Qi, constantly on guard against the golden pillar of light that was about to fall again.
"Laugh!"
Immediately afterward, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and two astonishing golden beams of light shot out from the golden energy ball, hurtling towards the Dou Di powerhouses in the void below!
This time, the people in the sky were clearly prepared. Dozens of figures flashed by at lightning speed, managing to dodge the golden beam of light that had just brushed past them.
However, although they dodged the two beams of light, no one felt relieved. Immediately after the two golden beams of light missed their target, the great array above their heads started operating again without stopping. In the blink of an eye, two more beams of light fell one after another, their target being the Dou Di powerhouses below.
"What! It's happening again!"
A burst of golden light shot out, startling everyone. Beneath his black robe, Xiao Yan quickly raised his eyes and saw that one of the two golden beams was shooting straight towards him!
With a slight tightening in his eyes, Xiao Yan quickly raised his Dou Qi, moved his body, and just as the pillar of light came right in front of him, he reluctantly brushed past it.
The wide black robe fluttered in the wind, and a corner of the robe, when touched by the golden light, melted away quietly, like a snowflake sinking into water.
"Well!"
Startled, Xiao Yan retreated hastily. When he came to a stop, he found that large sections of his black robe had been burned away by the golden light.
"That beam of light... it's truly terrifying!"
A pallor crept onto Xiao Yan's face beneath the black robe. The robe was corroded, and he was also slightly affected by the residual power of the pillar of light.
Although Xiao Yan dodged the golden beam of light, the group of Dou Di experts on the other side were not so lucky. Despite most of them managing to dodge it, three Dou Di experts still perished under the golden beam of light.
Just as everyone relaxed, the golden array in the sky surged again, and in an instant, another golden beam of light shot out, blasting towards the crowd below.
"What!"
"This damn thing... it's still not over!"
Upon seeing this, everyone frowned again, their Dou Qi surging as they dodged into the distant void.
At this moment, among the Four Great Clans, Zhuo Lin, standing in the Zhuo Clan's territory, frowned as he stared at the golden pillar of light that was falling again. This time, however, there was only one pillar.
Recalling the situation after the beam of light fell, Zhuo Lin suddenly realized something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.
"This thing is truly ruthless. If it doesn't take lives, it will keep falling like this. In the end, even if the people here aren't killed by that pillar of light, they'll be worked to death!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of those around him immediately changed. After a moment's thought, they quickly understood why the golden beam of light kept falling.
At the same time, the expressions of the Dou Di experts present changed again after hearing Zhuo Lin's words. It seemed that this pillar of light would not stop until it had wiped out everyone present!
"Damn it! Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?!"
Once they understood this, the expressions on everyone's faces immediately turned grim. Under this golden pillar of light, they had absolutely no chance to fight back. But if this continued, wouldn't everyone present have no way to survive?
Just as everyone was anxious about this, Zhuo Lin in the void, with his sharp, sword-like eyes, hurriedly scanned the square. On the other side, as the golden pillar of light fell, everyone in the arena once again hurriedly dodged.
Just as everyone was about to dodge the golden beam of light, a thin, wiry old man suddenly attacked someone nearby. In this situation, almost everyone's attention was focused on the golden beam of light, and no one paid any attention to the person next to them.
Sure enough, the old man suddenly made his move. A white-haired old man who had luckily dodged the golden beam of light had just shown a smile of relief on his aged face when, immediately afterward, a terrifying force slammed down on his back.
"Bang!"
The lean old man struck down with his palm, and although the white-haired old man in front of him was not seriously injured, he was still shoved back in before the golden pillar of light disappeared.
"Ah..."
The piercing screams had barely begun when silence fell. Then, the golden light dissipated, and everyone in the arena looked at the lean old man with expressions of horror, their eyes filled with deep fear.
"What are you doing! We're all in the same boat now. What you're doing is no different from scuttling the ship and sinking with us!"
Among the dispersed crowd, a resolute-faced old man waved his sleeve and angrily rebuked the lean old man.
At the same time, as the old man spoke, all the Dou Di powerhouses in the void turned their gazes over, each with a hint of anger in their eyes.
"Hehe... Everyone heard what Young Master Zhuo said just now. Once that beam of light appears, he won't stop until blood is drawn. If everyone here keeps dodging like this, even if you are all Dou Di experts, how long can you last?"
Upon hearing this, the lean old man chuckled, his smile appearing rather sinister.
Upon hearing this, the people in the void couldn't help but frown. Then, the lean old man spoke again, laughing strangely:
"As for what I did just now, it was merely a delaying tactic. Although I pushed him into that golden light, didn't I also save your lives at the same time? Otherwise, why would you have time to listen to me here? You should be anxiously and cautiously avoiding that golden light!"
As the lean old man finished speaking, the crowd gradually quieted down. Looking up, they saw that the golden array that had been churning violently just moments before had indeed calmed down and would not make any further moves for the time being.
"Hmph, in the end, it wasn't just me who killed this guy, it was all of you!"
The lean old man waved his sleeve, his withered finger pointing like an awl at the crowd, and sneered mockingly. Instantly, everyone present frowned and lowered their heads, speechless.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the field became eerily quiet once again.
"Ah, I see. That's the solution."
Suddenly, Zhuo Lin, who had been looking around the square below, spoke up. His sharp, sword-like eyes fixed on the stone pillars in the square below, and a cold smile gradually appeared on his lips.
