"Hmm? I didn't realize that such a small family would have Half-Emperor level expert protecting them. They are truly remarkable."
Xiao Yan looked at the withered old man with indifferent eyes, his expression remaining calm, as if he regarded the Half-Emperor as nothing.
"Hmph! Arrogant brat! Even if you're Dou Sheng Expert, you're still like an ant before Half-Emperor Sovereign!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's calm words, the withered old man's lips curled into a cold smile, followed by a cold snort, clearly showing his disdain for Xiao Yan's ignorance.
Faced with the withered old man's disdainful words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. He raised his hand again and struck down at the invisible barrier from afar.
This seemingly casual strike caused the entire world to tremble. The space between Xiao Yan and the barrier was completely shattered into nothingness by this palm strike.
The void shattered, and a Holding Up the Heavens force suddenly appeared before the invisible barrier, instantly transforming into a gigantic, towering hand.
Before the withered old man could react, the Holding Up the Heavens hand had already clashed with the barrier.
In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and a piercing sonic boom swept across the world. A powerful shockwave also swept outwards from the center of the collision, its force so great that it shook the heavens and earth!
"Click!"
An invisible, crisp sound rang out from between heaven and earth. Immediately, the withered old man clearly saw that the invisible barrier in front of him had shattered with a tiny crack!
However, this was not the end. A crack appeared, and in just a few breaths, the invisible barrier shattered deeply, the entire barrier covered with clear and transparent cracks.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the invisible barrier shattered under the sound, turning into nothingness and vanishing into the world.
Upon seeing this, the gaunt old man was startled, a look of astonishment appearing on his thin face. This young man before him was actually... was also...
Half-Emperor level!
The barrier shattered, but Xiao Yan ignored the grandfather and grandson in front of him. Instead, he turned his body and unleashed his Dou Qi, blasting it towards the void to one side of his body.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Xiao Yan's body jolted, and he took several steps back. However, the ground beneath his feet had already transformed into a giant crater hundreds of feet long and wide!
The power of Half-Emperor was so formidable that he only had to take a few steps back to create such a huge crater!
Such a large crater would probably be difficult to create even with the full force of Peak Dou Zun expert!
With a single step, he possessed power far exceeding that of Peak Dou Zun. Half-Emperor- Emperor was truly terrifying!
"Your Excellency, as Half-Emperor level expert, resorting to such low-level tactics is unbecoming of your status!"
Xiao Yan remained motionless, his body hovering in the void, a cold smile playing on his lips as he spoke calmly.
"Hmph! It's all about the winner and the loser; the process doesn't matter. Why be so fixated on saving face?"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, a figure dressed in a black-purple robe appeared and stood ten feet in front of Xiao Yan. At the same time, a slightly dry and hoarse sarcastic remark was delivered.
Xiao Yan smiled, a mocking look on his face, and sneered:
No wonder you've changed like this; you've long since lost all shame.
Under Xiao Yan's gaze, half of the man's face appeared to have been distorted as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, making it extremely terrifying.
Xiao Yan's words clearly struck a nerve with this person, whose gaze toward Xiao Yan became even more ruthless, almost as if he wanted to devour him. His already distorted face looked even more terrifying at this moment.
But suddenly, he burst into wild laughter, which came out of his mouth as he looked up at Xiao Yan, his eyes filled with cold indifference.
"You brat, I've been in power for many years, and there are countless people like you who have insulted and ridiculed me. I'm afraid there are at least several hundred of them. Do you know what happened to those who insulted and mocked me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile, and he replied calmly:
"They're all dead?"
The old man's gaze towards Xiao Yan grew even colder, and a chilling, sinister smile appeared on his lips as he sneered:
"Indeed, they all died at my hands, not one escaped. Moreover, among them were several people of your caliber, whose strength reached the level of Half-Emperor."
The moment the old man uttered these words, the crowd standing on the edge of the sky erupted in excitement. According to the old man, he had once killed a transcendent powerhouse Half-Emperor Sovereign, which meant that his own strength was at least that of a very strong Half-Emperor Sovereign!
Looking at Xiao Yan, he easily deflected the sneak attack from that Half-Emperor level expert. So, wouldn't Xiao Yan's strength also be at the Half-Emperor level?
In a single day, these wild cultivators, who spent their days mingling on the edge of a knife and spilling blood, actually encountered two Half-Emperor Sovereign experts whom they would never have dared to dream of in their daily lives!
How could this not shock and move them!
In just a moment, the crowd that was about to erupt in cheers fell silent again. The power of Half-Emperor was not to be trifled with. If any of them really displeased these two, their seemingly large group would probably be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye!
This demonstrates the formidable power of Half-Emperor.
Even the wildest, most fearless individuals can only face Half-Emperor with dread.
The suppression of Half-Emperor lies not only in your body, but also in the true control over your soul!
In its presence, all you will feel is that all your efforts will be nothing but a mirage, utterly futile and impossible...
Today, the main stage of Yanluo City undoubtedly belongs to these two people in front of them!
Therefore, as the crowd fell silent, they all retreated rapidly. They knew that even a mere aftershock of Half-Emperor's attack was enough to shatter them in an instant!
Xiao Yan glanced lightly at the rapidly retreating crowd, a faint smile playing on his lips. He turned his head to look at the distorted old man and chuckled:
"Now that they've cleared the way for us, shouldn't our battle begin?"
The old man sneered, and beneath the distorted half of his face, it looked as if countless worms were wriggling, making him appear extremely disgusting.
"Boy, since you're so eager to die, then I, this old man, will lend you a hand today! Hehehehe, boy, prepare to die!"
Before the old man's mocking words had even finished, the withered body wrapped in a purplish-black robe suddenly trembled and charged towards Xiao Yan.
" Withering Poison Palm!"
