The moment Xiao Yan Xiao Yan uttered those words, a thought flashed through his mind, and instantly, an extremely terrifying aura swept out from Xiao Yan body, transforming into an invisible energy storm that enveloped the entire battle area in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying aura and pressure were like an invisible giant mountain pressing down on everyone's heads. In an instant, a wave of shock surged in the hearts of all the people from the Four Great Clans present. Under this aura and pressure, even those Four-Star Dou Di were somewhat inferior!
"This... this is impossible... how could this be!"
" Four-Star Dou Di!"
"How high is his cultivation level...?"
The seven Dou Di powerhouses stood frozen in mid-air like statues, their faces filled with utter shock.
They never imagined that Xiao Yan's cultivation level had reached such a level!
Four-Star Dou Di!
They originally thought that Xiao Yan's rise from Six-Star Half-Emperor to a Dou Di level in five years was already extremely terrifying, but they never imagined that Xiao Yan's cultivation would not only advance to Dou Di, but also reach the terrifying level of Four-Star Dou Di!
It's important to understand that the Dou Di level is different from ordinary Half-Emperor; improving one's strength is extremely difficult. Even for geniuses with exceptional cultivation aptitude, once they reach the Dou Di, further improvement is equally challenging, taking anywhere from several years to dozens or even hundreds of years, or even longer. Yet, they had never seen anyone who could raise their strength from Six-Star Half-Emperor to Four-Star Dou Di in just five years—that's almost an entire level up!
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Yan, Zhuo Lin and the others felt their hearts sink. On the other hand, Bai Ying, though frowning, was thinking about something else entirely.
"Damn it! How could his strength have reached the Four-Star Dou Di in just a few years!"
Zhuo Lin gritted his teeth in resentment, unable to understand how Xiao Yan had managed to increase his strength so much in just five years!
However, just as this thought arose in Zhuo Lin's mind, Xiao Yan clenched his fist, and the jet-black Heavy Xuan Ruler immediately fell into his hand.
As soon as he got his hands on the giant ruler, a deep white flame burst forth from Xiao Yan's body, quickly climbing up the ruler and turning it a deep white color in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, the six felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that it was useless to think about it now. None of the Dou Di experts present could defeat Xiao Yan in a one-on-one fight. Their only way to deal with Xiao Yan now was to join forces!
"Gentlemen, we are all under the command of the Heavenly Sword Sect. This matter is of utmost importance. I hope you can unite in your hatred of this enemy and deal with this brat first. We can discuss the rest later!"
Let's join forces!
The seven people exchanged glances and said in unison, except for Bai Ying, of course.
They agreed, nodding emphatically, and then all turned their gazes toward Xiao Yan, their eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
"Drink!"
Suddenly, Zhuo Lin let out a loud shout, and with a wave of his hand, several flying swords that had condensed in the surrounding void shot towards Xiao Yan.
The sharp sword blades emitted a series of ear-piercing sonic booms as they sliced through the void. The invisible void was easily shattered by the sword energy, and in the blink of an eye, several longswords had arrived in front of Xiao Lin.
Upon seeing this, the two people behind Xiao Yan felt a pang of anxiety, their hearts pounding with worry for Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan himself showed no reaction whatsoever, and didn't even seem to have any intention of making a move.
Immediately afterwards, when the several longswords stabbed fiercely into Xiao Yan's body, it was as if they had hit a steel plate. No matter whether the swords pierced Xiao Yan's chest, head, brow, or eyes, there was no reaction.
Xiao Yan was like a solid rock; the sword's attacks posed no threat to him whatsoever.
The sword blade repeatedly struck Xiao Yan's body, and after a few crisp clanging sounds, the longsword dissipated with a bang.
"What!"
Upon seeing this, Zhuo Lin couldn't help but be slightly startled. He then gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and held the Golden Cloud Sword in front of him. A massive amount of Dou Qi continuously flowed into it, and golden light filled the air, as dazzling as a sun.
" Blazing Sun Sword!"
Immediately afterward, Zhuo Lin let out a loud shout, and the long sword in front of him shot out towards Xiao Yan. The terrifying aura instantly shattered the surrounding void, turning it into an Endless Void.
The surging momentum rushed towards Xiao Yan like a raging flood. Only when the long sword was right in front of him did Xiao Yan suddenly look up. At the same time, the giant ruler, enveloped in Heavenly Flames, swept fiercely across his face.
This foot-long blade was devoid of any fancy features; its power relied solely on Xiao Yan's own strength and the layer of eerie white Heavenly Flames enveloping it.
But this simple, unadorned foot of sword shattered the golden sword that came at him with unparalleled sword energy in a single blow!
The overwhelming force instantly shattered the sword energy on the Golden Cloud Sword. With a crisp metallic clang, the Golden Cloud Sword broke free from Zhuo Lin's control and shot towards the distant battle circle. After piercing through many powerful figures from the Four Great Clans, it finally plunged deep into the mountain below.
At that very moment, the other six people around Xiao Yan also rushed forward, each unleashing their signature Dou Technique, and fiercely attacked Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. He quickly dodged and used the Heavenly Severing Steps. Although he managed to dodge the attacks of the six people, Xiao Yan was still slightly disheveled. Before Xiao Yan could catch his breath, Zhuo Lin once again gripped his long sword and charged towards Xiao Yan.
Facing seven opponents without using any Dou Technique, this was indeed a very difficult situation for Xiao Yan.
"Bang!"
The giant ruler spun, blasting away one of the Sun Clan's leading elders. Xiao Yan immediately retreated, the two standing a hundred feet apart, staring at each other from afar.
"Heh heh, so what if you're Late-stage Four-Star Dou Di? One against seven, outnumbered and outmatched, how could you possibly be a match for us!"
The middle-aged man from the Huo Clan took a step forward and laughed menacingly.
Upon hearing this, the other six people beside him also stepped forward, staring at Xiao Yan with varying expressions.
However, as they looked at Xiao Yan with sneers, they never expected that since the start of their confrontation, these seven people had used a considerable number of techniques, while Xiao Yan, apart from the Heavenly Severing Steps, had not used any Dou Technique at all.
"Oh? Relying on having so many people..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan laughed instead.
"If that's the case..."
While laughing, Xiao Yan slowly raised his right hand, and then, in full view of everyone, snapped his fingers crisply.
Immediately afterwards, the void beside Xiao Yan slowly distorted, and a burly figure with a purple-gold body and nine other figures dressed in black robes, with appearances identical to Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, appeared beside him, lined up in a row, facing off against the seven people on the other side.
In an instant, the expressions of the seven people opposite them changed drastically, and the air seemed to freeze.
