"Bang!"
In mid-air, Cheng Zhihui stared blankly at the energy handprint that suddenly shattered before him. His already pale face turned completely bloodless in an instant, and his aura plummeted to rock bottom.
The Underworld King Seal that had just been formed suddenly disappeared, and the sudden backlash of that energy left him severely injured in an instant.
"How..."
Cheng Zhihui collapsed to the ground, his body limp. He struggled to look up and saw that as the energy handprint dissipated, Xiao Yan's figure slowly appeared in his sight.
The latter was still in the same stance as when he threw the punch, but the Underworld King Seal that was blocking his way had been forcibly shattered by him.
Upon witnessing this scene, Cheng Zhihui was filled with even greater terror. The Underworld King Seal, while not a particularly powerful Dou Technique, was one of his few trump cards. Yet, even so, it couldn't withstand a single blow from this black-robed youth. What was most unbelievable was that the opponent was merely a Five-Star Dou Di!
"This... how is this possible!"
At this moment, Cheng Zhihui's heart was filled with turmoil, and the change in his emotions made his already serious injuries even more severe.
At the same time, Xiao Yan withdrew his fist that had been thrown forward. When his palm was covered by his sleeve, it was clear that traces of blood were gradually emerging.
After all, he was Seven-Star Dou Di. Xiao Yan had paid a considerable price to make that punch have a deterrent effect. When Xiao Yan looked up, he saw that many people present were still immersed in the memory of Xiao Yan Yan's powerful punch. Of course, there were a few exceptions, such as those Nine-Star Dou Di experts.
Even so, they were still somewhat lost in thought.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan sneered inwardly. If he didn't leave now, when would he?
At this moment, Fan Siyuan's cloudy eyes were also slightly dazed as he stared at Xiao Yan. Deep in his eyes, an indelible look of shock also appeared. At the same time, he also had some certainty about what Qin Yun had said.
"This kid has terrifying combat power. That attack just now was probably no less than that of an ordinary Eight-Star Dou Di!"
Based solely on Xiao Yan's attack just now, he was certain that Xiao Yan's combat strength far exceeded his cultivation level.
Fan Siyuan squinted his old eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
Xiao Yan is only Five-Star Dou Di now, yet he already possesses such terrifying combat power. It's unimaginable that if he continues to maintain this level, when his cultivation advances further in the future, even experts at the Origin Transformation Realm will not be his match!
Thinking this way, Fan Siyuan felt a strong urge to kill Xiao Yan.
Today, both Xiao Yan's actions and theirs have inevitably pushed them to opposite sides. Therefore, for the future of their Formation Master Association, he must kill Xiao Yan here today to eliminate any future troubles!
"Whoosh..."
However, in the next instant, the moment Fan Siyuan looked up, Xiao Yan's figure transformed into a gentle breeze, flying rapidly towards the Golden Radiance City at lightning speed.
"Want to leave? Not so easy! Stay here!"
Fan Siyuan let out a low shout, and the group behind him immediately snapped back to reality. With a swift movement, they led the two beside them and quickly chased after Xiao Yan in the direction he had left. At the same time, Yan He and the other two also hurriedly caught up at Qin Yun's signal. No matter what, Xiao Yan must die here today!
A black robe covered Xiao Yan's entire body, completely enveloping his aura. His figure was swept forward rapidly by the flowing wind, his entire body concealed within it. Neither his figure nor his aura could be detected; only a hurricane could be felt howling through the void. Normally, almost no one would be curious about this, but at this moment, Fan Siyuan and the others knew that Xiao Yan's figure must be within that swirling wind, and what they needed to do now was to surround that swirling wind.
"Qi Ming Huo Lie, activate the formation, stop him!"
Fan Siyuan let out a sharp shout, and Qi Ming and the other man behind him nodded heavily upon hearing the order. They exchanged a glance, and as they sped forward, their hands rapidly forming a series of intricate hand seals. At the same time, the golden runes on the walls of Golden Radiance City suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then a huge golden light curtain rose up again, enveloping the entire Golden Radiance City.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone in the city, especially Qin Yun. He had prepared so much to destroy this formation, so how could it still be there?!
Could it be that the grand formation wasn't destroyed at all? Or were those stone pillars fake?
Qin Yun was deeply shocked. He couldn't believe that these three old men had been guarding that stone pillar for so many years—had they done it all on purpose?
That stone pillar wasn't the center of the formation at all?
"Young Master, no, this doesn't seem to be that formation. There's something strange about this thing."
Just as Qin Yun was shocked, Yan He seemed to sense something, frowned, stepped forward, and whispered to Qin Yun.
"Something's strange? Explain yourself."
"Although the formation appears unchanged, a closer inspection reveals that its power has been significantly reduced by more than half. It seems that this is not Fifth-Tier Formation; they must have reinforced it themselves to prepare for the current situation."
As soon Yan He finished speaking, Qin Yun quickly realized the strangeness of the formation, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
On the other side, with the activation of the great formation, Xiao Yan, who was about to leave the territory of Golden Radiance City, was forced to slow down. Fan Siyuan and the others followed closely behind, followed by Qin Yun and his group.
A group of people surrounded the seemingly empty void in front of them, their gazes cautious. Fan Siyuan released a massive amount of Spiritual Strength, sweeping it across the void before him. Sure enough, Xiao Yan, clad in a black robe, was revealed.
In front of a Fourth-Tier Formation Master, Xiao Yan could no longer conceal his presence.
The Great Dao of the Void could only ensure that his aura wouldn't be detected, but it couldn't maintain the concealment of his physical form. Xiao Yan wasn't too surprised by the current situation; what concerned him was the re-emerging formation. Fortunately, his investigation quickly revealed that it was merely a fourth-order defensive formation. If that was the case, perhaps he still had a chance...
