It must be said that Xiao Yan was indeed a bit overconfident this time, but it was precisely because of this that he realized his own shortcomings.
On his own, Xiao Yan was far too weak to face the power of an entire sect. If he were to challenge any of the Four Great Sects at his current level, the outcome would not be good. Fortunately, he did not do so.
Under these circumstances, if Xiao Yan were to use the Great Heaven Creation Palm, he could naturally break through the formation of these nine people. However, the problem is that the Great Heaven Creation Palm requires a period of preparation to execute, but Xiao Yan is currently being restrained by three Dou Di experts working together, leaving him no extra time to use the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Coupled with the combined suppression from these three, if it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been defeated long ago under the combined attack of three High-Level Dou Di experts.
Therefore, for a short period of time, Xiao Yan was forced to submit to others.
Above the void, Xiao Yan was struggling to defend himself against the attacks of the three people around him. The giant ruler flew around, and streaks of eerie white fire gathered around Xiao Yan. The streaks of fire overlapped and pieced together to form a fire barrier, like an upside-down bowl, which barely blocked the attacks of the three people around Xiao Yan.
"Clang clang clang clang..."
This fierce bombardment lasted for a long time, but even with the strength of these three, they were unable to break through Xiao Yan's fortress-like defense in a short period of time, which made the three Dou Di powerhouses frown.
Protected by the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan was terrifying. None of the three of them could truly break through his defenses. Moreover, the Heavenly Flames itself possessed extremely terrifying destructive power. Every time they attacked, their weapons would be stained with some flames. Over time, the energy membrane covering their bodies would become thinner and thinner. If this continued, they would probably lose this protective layer before Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was completely exhausted.
"We can't afford to delay any longer; we must end this quickly!"
The old man in the yellow robe gave a heavy warning. At the same time, the other two Late Five-Star Dou Di experts nodded emphatically. They, along with the six Dou Di experts behind them, exchanged glances. With a thought, the Dou Qi within their internal vortexes surged wildly. Streams of massive, pure Dou Qi poured out from the Qi Cyclone Space, rapidly circulating along the cultivation technique's path before bursting forth from their palms.
The powerful Dou Qi strengthened the energy membrane covering the bodies of the three Dou Di experts, and at the same time, the three launched an even more ferocious attack on Xiao Yan.
The weapons in the hands of the three men continuously bombarded the barrier of Heavenly Flames, flames flew, the void trembled, and invisible ripples spread outwards in circles. One deafening roar after another rang out, like a thunderclap, making people tremble involuntarily.
Beneath the flames, countless shadowy figures shot out, blocking the attacks of the three. Xiao Yan, among them, had his eyes closed and his expression had returned to calm.
After nearly an hour of intense fighting, Xiao Yan also discovered that although the so-called Hexagram Formation possessed considerable defensive capabilities and could provide extremely strong protection for the three people in the formation, at the same time, because the six people used all their Dou Qi to protect the three people in front of them, they almost lost all means of survival.
Under these circumstances, if anything happens to any of the six of them, the Hexagram Formation will break down.
Of course, under normal circumstances, with the combined attack of three Dou Di level experts, the surrounded person would naturally be unable to launch an attack on the six people, but...
The object they surrounded this time was Xiao Yan.
A cold smile slowly curled at the corner of his lips, and Xiao Yan slowly opened his lightly closed eyes, a chilling light flashing deep within his pupils.
With the help of the Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler, Xiao Yan had a thought, and streams of dark energy light gradually appeared from the void, rapidly condensing into a dark curtain behind Xiao Yan.
It is undoubtedly the Great Dao of the Void!
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Xiao Yan was distracted, and the defense of the Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler naturally became a little lax. Immediately, the attacks of the three Dou Di powerhouses around him advanced significantly, and the flame barrier condensed by the Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler also weakened rapidly. In the blink of an eye, one could even see some of the scene inside.
"Haha, this guy's about to give up!"
Seeing this, the burly old man who had previously fought against Xiao Yan burst into wild laughter, and his attacks became even more ruthless. The other two beside him had the same thought, and without realizing it, the three of them became even more fierce and ruthless, as if they couldn't wait to shatter the barrier of Heavenly Flames.
However, the Six-Star Dou Di vaguely saw a dark shadow beneath the barrier, which was separated from Xiao Yan himself.
"What's this?"
The old man's heart tightened slightly, and he was about to warn the two people beside him. But at that moment, under the combined attack of the three, the flame barrier formed by the Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler suddenly shattered, and countless ruler shadows turned into fragments in an instant. The three's vision also became clear at that moment.
Through the fragments of the ruler's shadow, the three clearly saw a black curtain, resembling a Space Wormhole, standing where Xiao Yan should have been standing. At the same time, they also clearly saw that a corner of Xiao Yan's black robe disappeared into the pitch-black curtain as the ruler's shadow broke apart.
In an instant, shallow ripples appeared around the tent, and the expressions of the three people froze at that moment.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterward, before the three could react, a dull thud of a heavy object striking a person suddenly rang out. The three were jolted awake. As they turned to help the six people, a dark figure suddenly rushed towards them.
The three were startled and, almost reflexively, blasted the oncoming black figure away. Upon closer inspection, they were both angry and furious to discover that the black figure they had blasted away was actually one of the six Five-Star Dou Di experts. However, at this moment, he had first suffered a heavy blow from Xiao Yan and was now injured by his own people. Although he was not dead, he was already close to being seriously injured.
"Damn it, how could this guy..."
"Bang bang bang!"
However, just as the three of them came to their senses, a series of loud explosions rang in their ears. Immediately, a series of black shadows shot towards them at incredible speed. This time, the three of them dared not hurt people indiscriminately anymore. They took down the people one by one. But when it was the last one's turn, Xiao Yan put away the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and the expression on his face became extremely cold.
Although he was not afraid of the Hexagram Formation, its existence was still a problem. The best way for Xiao Yan to break the formation was to kill one of the six people, preventing them from forming the Hexagram Formation again. In this way, the formation would collapse on its own and become useless.
With a flick of his right hand, Xiao Yan transformed it into a palm and, taking advantage of the moment when the Five-Star Dou Di regained his senses, struck the latter heavily in the chest.
" Heart-Shattering Palm!"
With a single palm strike, the latter's body was instantly and uncontrollably propelled backward, its silhouette flying through the air in a graceful parabola. At the same time, crimson blood gushed uncontrollably from its mouth, cascading down like a rain of blood.
Upon seeing the figure flying towards them, the three behind him changed their expressions slightly and were about to step forward to catch it, but in the next moment, Xiao Yan's raised right hand suddenly clenched tightly.
"Burst!"
With a low shout resounding in Xiao Yan's heart, at the same time, the Dou Di expert who was sent flying backward suddenly had his chest explode, blood gushing out. His entire body and even his soul were completely destroyed by Xiao Yan's palm strike, making him utterly dead.
