"What did you say?"
Xiao Yan's hand holding the Heavy Xuan Ruler trembled slightly, his pale white eyes fixed on the masked figure before him, his voice low and hoarse.
"I have a way to let you see Gu Xun'er."
The shadowy figure spoke again, saying that if Xiao Yan continued like this, he wouldn't be able to stand it, regardless of what happened to Xiao Yan.
"Explain!"
Xiao Yan stared intently at the shadowy figure before him. His giant ruler trembled slightly, and a fierce flame erupted, ready to strike at any moment.
The latter's gaze lingered on the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and he couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression when he looked at the Heavenly Flames.
Faced with Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames, his black mist was severely suppressed, like snowflakes falling into a campfire and instantly dissolving. If it weren't for his own Dou Qi, which far surpassed Xiao Yan's, he probably wouldn't be as agile as he is now. After all, judging from Xiao Yan's appearance just now, if it were an ordinary Six-Star Dou Di, he would probably have been blasted into a shapeless mess long ago.
"Laugh!"
The giant ruler lunged forward, and the scorching air, burned by the flames, slammed against the mask of the shadowy figure like a gust of wind. The latter quickly regained his senses, looked up, and found Xiao Yan looking down at him with indifferent eyes and a chilling killing intent. His powerful aura caused the surrounding void to ripple violently like the surface of a lake where a boulder had been thrown in.
"I... I can let you see Gu Xun'er, but I want one thing from you."
The shadowy figure paused briefly to organize his thoughts before grinning and speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Roar..."
Flames erupted from the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth, and the flames covering the Heavy Xuan Ruler intensified, which was Xiao Yan's answer.
" The Tou She Ancient God Jade, if I'm not mistaken, should be on you, right?"
"Kindness?!"
Hearing the words uttered by the dark figure in front of him, even Xiao Yan, who was furious at the moment, couldn't help but have his eyes, which were filled with flames and were a deep white, twisted violently. He was also extremely shocked. He never expected that the reason why the people of the Ghost Hall had come to him time and time again, and even went so far as to capture Xun'er, was actually for the Tou She Ancient God Jade.
Such behavior is exactly the same as that of the Hun Clan on the Dou Qi Continent!
Xiao Yan stared blankly at the void before him, the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand unconsciously drooping downwards, and then...
"As long as you hand over the Tou She Ancient God Jade to me, I guarantee you will be able to meet your wife."
As he spoke, the shadowy figure took advantage of Xiao Yan's momentary lapse in concentration and rapidly retreated. Once he was sure that he had created a safe distance between himself and Xiao Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the latter.
" Tou She Ancient God Jade... it's Tou She Ancient God Jade again!"
As he repeated the name of the Tou She Ancient God Jade in his mind over and over again, the anger in Xiao Yan's chest intensified, to the point that he even disregarded the shadowy figure's violent retreat.
Back in the Dou Qi Continent, all the conflicts that led to Xiao Yan's father being arrested, his teacher being imprisoned, and his family being destroyed were all caused by the Tou She Ancient God Jade. Unexpectedly, now that he has come to the Origin Martial Continent, the scene from back then will be repeated in front of Xiao Yan once again.
" Tou She Ancient God Tou She Ancient God! I have truly been made and destroyed by you!"
Enraged, Xiao Yan flipped his hand, and the Tou She Ancient God Jade instantly fell into his grasp. After tumbling several times in his palm, the Xiao Yan - Xiao Yan Ancient Jade tightly clenched in his hand. A terrifying force surged forth, and the furious hatred in his heart condensed in his palm at this moment, which he could not suppress and was about to unleash.
"Squeak squeak..."
Before the terrifying force had been fully unleashed, the Ancient Jade in Xiao Yan's hand began to creak and groan, as if it were about to explode.
"Today I will destroy you! To eliminate any future trouble!"
His pale white eyes were instantly filled with blood red. Xiao Yan's face was contorted with rage, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged as he tried to crush the Tou She Ancient God Jade in his hand.
Once the Emperor Jade is crushed into dust by Xiao Yan, even if the person in front of them has great abilities, it will be impossible to restore it. At that time, all their efforts will be in vain.
"If the Tou She Ancient God Jade is destroyed, you'll never see Gu Xun'er again! Xiao Yan, you'd better think this through!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's rudeness, the shadowy figure was shocked. His face beneath the mask turned deathly pale. The Tou She Ancient God Jade was far too important to them. If it were destroyed, even if they died ten or a hundred times, they could not make up for the loss!
Whether for the grand plans of the forces behind them or to save their own lives, the shadowy figure dared not let Xiao Yan destroy the Tou She Ancient God Jade.
"Roar!"
"Since you want it, take it!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yan raised his flushed face and swung his hand forward. Immediately afterward, a stream of light wrapped in a deep white flame tore through the void in front of him with immense power and charged fiercely toward the shadowy figure.
Enveloped in flames was none other than the Tou She Ancient God Jade!
Upon seeing this, the shadowy figure was overjoyed. He never expected Xiao Yan to go so far as to throw the Emperor Jade to him. It was truly an unexpected windfall.
Overjoyed, the shadowy figure didn't hesitate for a moment. With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of black light and charged towards the oncoming flames.
Almost simultaneously, Xiao Yan's thoughts stirred, and the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline within him was instantly activated. An Old Gu seal appeared between his brows, and in an instant, an incomparably powerful force swept through Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan body like a storm, flowing into his limbs and bones in the blink of an eye. The powerful force made Xiao Yan unable to help but let out a long roar to the sky, his scarlet eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
" The Great Dao of the Void, solidify!"
Xiao Yan's face was ferocious, and as his killing aura surged from his body, the powerful Great Dao of the Void was also frantically condensing.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, seven pitch-black curtains abruptly condensed around the shadowy figure. Just as the latter regained his senses, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Xiao Yan filled the eighth empty space.
"What!"
The shadowy figure was greatly shocked and terrified. He hadn't expected Xiao Yan to be so decisive. Judging from his expression, did he intend to kill him here?
How is that possible!
A dignified Seven-Star Dou Di, with few rivals even in the Western Region, how could a mere Five-Star Dou Di possibly achieve that!
Want to kill him? That's a pipe dream!
The shadowy figure was both shocked and furious, thinking this with resentment. Unfortunately, his fear made him forget how terrifying Xiao Yan was.
Behind the seven tents, seven almost solid figures emerged, none other than Xiao Yan's avatar.
The nine avatars condensed into seven. Although their strength was somewhat lacking, there were still two Three-Star Dou Di among them. The other five had all reached the Late Two-Star Dou Di. In addition, there was Xiao Yan, whose strength was originally at the Five-Star Dou Di. With the help of his Clan Mark and the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline, he raised his strength to the Late Six-Star Dou Di. This lineup could be considered a top-tier lineup even in the entire Western Region.
Each of the eight people held a giant flaming ruler, from which flames surged and shot into the sky like eight pillars of fire reaching the heavens, their blazing light reaching ten thousand feet and their imposing momentum like a rainbow.
" Sevenfold Heaven-Breaking Ruler!"
Immediately afterwards, all eight " Xiao Yan " shouted in unison, their magnificent and resounding shouts echoing across the magma inferno. The crimson magma surged violently like a storm-swept sea, its waves surging. Then, eight imposing beams of light converged from eight directions, crashing down upon the black-clad figure.
With this strike, Xiao Yan is about to slay the Emperor!
