As the auras rapidly approached from afar, a dozen blurry points of light gradually became clearer in Xiao Yan's vision, then transformed into distinct human figures, each in their own direction, some in groups, all flying towards this direction.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering about the purpose of these people's visit.
As the figure rapidly approached, those people quickly spotted Xiao Yan Xiao Yan. Immediately, many cast slightly hostile glances at him, while also remaining wary of each other.
With the opening of the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb drawing ever closer, everyone present has become a competitor. Each of them could potentially steal the opportunity that was originally theirs. Where there is competition, there will be conflict, and the process of conflict will inevitably result in death and injury. If possible, they will not hesitate to strike at those around them.
Each additional person increases their threat, thus these individuals have long since become enemies without being noticed.
Upon approaching, the group first gave Xiao Yan a cold look, and then looked at the energy light screen on the cliff face.
Previously, if they hadn't noticed the energy fluctuations here, they might not have been able to find this place so quickly.
All eyes were fixed on the energy barrier on the cliff face, through which a patch of darkness could be vaguely seen. Instantly, a fiery light surged in those eyes, and the Dou Qi within their bodies slowly circulated. Some people wanted to step forward and try to break through the energy barrier, but in the end, they stopped.
This ancient tomb has existed for nearly a thousand years, and countless people have tried to open it, but no one has ever succeeded. Even the attacks of Nine-Star Dou Di can only be blocked by that seemingly thin energy barrier. If even Nine-Star Dou Di cannot break through the barrier, how could they possibly succeed?
Seeing the few Dou Di experts who obediently retreated, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the people behind him.
In a short time, nearly fifty Dou Di experts had gathered here. Their strengths varied, with the weakest reaching the Mid One-Star Dou Di and the strongest being two Eight-Star Dou Di. Such strength was considered top-tier in the Western Region.
Xiao Yan's dark eyes swept over these people, and he couldn't help but be speechless. The Western Region were truly a place where dragons and tigers roamed. He never expected that nearly fifty Dou Di experts, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, would appear together at this moment. Such a large group could definitely roam freely in the Western Region.
As Xiao Yan's gaze swept over these people, many in the crowd also turned their attention to him, and immediately, a look of surprise appeared in many of their eyes.
Such a young Dou Di powerhouse is extremely rare even on the entire continent. Usually, such a powerhouse must have a considerable force behind him. However, the black-robed youth in front of him seems to be alone. As a result, some people in the arena couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, and their own thoughts began to arise.
There were nearly fifty Dou Di powerhouses present, and there would inevitably be some dissatisfaction among them. If they were to quarrel over trivial matters and cause friction, it would not benefit them. Therefore, in this situation, it would be best to take some action to deter those present.
As the saying goes, you have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. At this time, Xiao Yan, who looked to be the youngest in the group, naturally became their target.
Being young means having less time to cultivate, and at the same time, it also means being weaker. In addition, the latter is now their opponent. If they can suppress him, firstly, they can reduce a competitor, and secondly, they can intimidate the people present. This is tantamount to killing two birds with one stone, so why not?
In their eyes, dealing with the latter is like an adult bullying a child, and they feel no pressure at all.
Of course, given that the latter was also a Dou Di, only some Seven-Star Dou Di among those present would take action for this. As for the two Eight-Star Dou Di, their aura alone was enough to inspire fear, so there was naturally nothing for them to do.
At the same time, Xiao Yan also noticed the unfriendly gazes cast by the several Seven-Star Dou Di around him. After a moment's thought, he understood and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This kind of thing is something that people would be happy to do no matter where they go.
However, Xiao Yan is no ordinary Dou Di!
"Hehe, since you've delivered this to my doorstep, I won't stand on ceremony and accept it."
He chuckled coldly to himself, and when he looked up, he saw a powerful expert at the Mid Seven-Star Dou Di walking towards him face to face, a mocking expression on his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled knowingly. Then, the powerful figure approached Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, his gaze turning menacing as he coldly sneered:
"Kid, you want to enter the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb too?"
The rough laughter carried a hint of disdain. The person approaching was a burly middle-aged man with bronze muscles that exuded a menacing aura. Coupled with his gruff voice, it made those who heard it tremble. In contrast, Xiao Yan looked thin and frail, forming a stark contrast.
"Is that not allowed?"
Xiao Yan remained unmoved and smiled slightly.
"Haha, of course you can... but if you want to get in, you'll have to ask my fists if they'll allow it!"
With a cold shout, the burly man immediately mobilized his vast Dou Qi, condensing it in his palm. He clenched his huge hand into a fist, swung his arm, and with a whooshing gust of wind, smashed it fiercely towards Xiao Yan.
Seeing the burly man who attacked without hesitation, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Then, enveloped in Dou Qi, the massive fist instantly appeared before Xiao Yan, slamming down hard on the latter's face.
A strong wind whistled past Xiao Yan's ears, and the air in front of him quickly thinned, causing Xiao Yan's breath to catch in his throat slightly.
However, Xiao Yan remained calm and composed in the face of this, which greatly surprised everyone who saw it.
The next moment, just as that enormous fist was about to smash into Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Yan raised his hand. His movements were fluid and lightning-fast. Under the incredulous gaze of the middle-aged man in front of him, he spread his five fingers and, without using any Dou Qi, firmly locked the man's fist between his five fingers. Even the force of the fist's forward momentum and Dou Qi were instantly destroyed!
