"Damn it, I can't believe this beast actually fused with it!"
"Hmph, this beast, you resort to fusion when you can't win? What a crooked method! Otherwise, I'd blast you to smithereens!"
On the ground, Chen Zhen and Wu Jitian stared coldly at the giant dragon that had already merged before them. The latter's face was filled with resentment. If the two dragons hadn't taken the opportunity to merge, he would have had a chance to deal with it.
After all, it's just an array, and its combat experience is far inferior to that of a real living person. Although its strength is formidable, if it were a real fight, Chen Zhen and Zhen would have a certain chance of winning.
However, the appearance of this azure dragon reversed the outcome in an instant.
The fusion of the two thunder dragons made the azure dragon even more powerful. At this moment, the azure dragon's strength is probably comparable to Mid-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di expert.
Such strength was not uncommon among those present; however, they were all simply waiting for each other to prove themselves.
They are waiting, because someone will eventually be unable to resist making a move.
"Since no one else is going to make a move, then I'll give it a try."
Behind the crowd, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and then his figure flew over the heads of the crowd like a roc, landing steadily at the front of the crowd. He raised his eyes and stared directly at the azure lightning dragon in front of him.
"Roar!"
Instantly, a deep roar came from the thunder dragon's mouth, causing invisible ripples in the void.
Behind them, everyone was slightly taken aback when they saw Xiao Yan suddenly stepping forward. Those who had grudges against Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Based on their understanding of him, this guy was very shrewd, so why would he take the initiative to attack? But looking at the situation before them, they couldn't figure out why.
Ahead, Xiao Yan smiled, then moved and rose into the air, standing in front of the giant dragon.
As Xiao Yan scanned the thunder dragon before him, a look of anticipation welled up in his eyes.
Immediately afterward, the thunder dragon in front of him did not hesitate. Its huge body twisted violently, and its massive tail swept out and slammed towards Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and moved, instantly using the Heavenly Severing Steps. At the same time, he flicked his finger, and the figure of the Northern King immediately appeared in front of him, charging head-on towards the huge dragon tail without dodging.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the Northern King actually grabbed the thick dragon tail and hugged it tightly. A terrifying force erupted, and the dragon tail, which was two or three times as thick as the Northern King, was squeezed hard in his arms from front to back. A painful roar immediately came from the Azure Dragon's mouth.
"Roar!"
Along with the roar of the beast, there were also massive bolts of lightning that struck the Northern King's body from above. However, everyone present clearly saw that as the powerful lightning approached the Northern King, a strange suction force suddenly surged from his body. Any lightning that came near was unceremoniously swallowed up by the Northern King.
"This is... his puppet!"
The next moment, Qin Yun and his group, who knew about the Northern King, had a sudden change in expression. Although others did not know, they were very clear that Xiao Yan's puppet had a strange suppressive effect on the power of thunder. What others saw as extremely dangerous and domineering thunder was not only not dangerous to the Northern King, but would also help him grow.
"Stop him! We can't let that puppet devour this thunder dragon!"
At this moment, Qin Yun and his group finally understood why Xiao Yan had stepped forward. They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Yan He and the other two behind him took the lead and charged towards Xiao Yan. Then came the other Nine-Star Dou Di. As for the black-robed man beside Qin Yun, he never left Qin Yun's side from beginning to end, as if he was deliberately protecting the latter.
On the other side, within the Northern King's body, a terrifying suction force surged outwards continuously. In just a moment, the dragon tail that had been held tightly in his arms was now strangely plunging into the Northern King's body.
At this moment, the Northern King is devouring the thunder dragon at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The thunder dragon was completely unaware of this, and continued to bombard the Northern King's body with lightning. However, all the lightning strikes were swallowed up by the Northern King and absorbed after being rapidly refined.
At the same time, the strength of the Northern King is also growing rapidly at an extremely fast pace.
At that very moment, Yan He and his two companions, along with the other man in black robes, also set off, each going their separate ways to the rear of the Northern King, ready to make their move.
However, just as they were about to make their move, a dark figure suddenly flashed out and blocked their way.
It was Xiao Yan.
"Heh, instead of targeting me, the master, you're eyeing my puppet. What a clever idea."
Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh, his smile laced with sarcasm.
" Xiao Yan, are you really that eager to die?!"
Yan He let out a cold shout, and as his body trembled, powerful Dou Qi energy surged outward from within him, bringing with it gusts of wind pressure.
"Drink!"
The other three around him also let out a low shout, their bodies trembled, and they each released their Dou Qi, pressing down on Xiao Yan together.
" Strength Elephant Art, activate!"
With a roar, Xiao Yan's immense power instantly condensed within him. The phantom behind him merged into his body the moment it rose, making Xiao Yan's power even stronger. At the same time, the Dou Qi within his Qi vortex also began to circulate rapidly, and the massive Dou Qi quickly swept across his entire body.
"Laugh..."
Yan He was the first to be attacked, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xiao Yan. He twisted his body and kicked Xiao Yan hard in the chest.
A fierce wind howled towards him, but Xiao Yan remained calm as his immense Spiritual Strength surged outwards. Under the cover of this Spiritual Strength, the movements of the person in front of him slowed down. Then, Xiao Yan turned his body, stood to the side, grabbed the latter's ankle, and flung him away violently.
However, before Xiao Yan could catch his breath, a figure flashed across the void before him again, its Dou Qi shooting out, aimed directly at Xiao Yan's throat.
With a change of footwork, he unleashed the Heavenly Severing Steps, and the incoming Dou Qi of Dou Qi narrowly missed Xiao Yan's body. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan clenched his right fist, and powerful energy frantically gathered on his fist, forcefully knocking back a Nine-Star Dou Di was charging towards him.
"Damn, this kid has terrifying physical strength!"
The black-robed man's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath. His hand, which had just been hit by Xiao Yan's punch, was now trembling uncontrollably beneath his sleeve.
Faced with Xiao Yan's powerful physical strength, even though he was Nine-Star Dou Di, he was caught off guard and suffered a defeat in one blow.
Under the combined attack of the four, Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn. Facing four Nine-Star Dou Di at the same time was truly overwhelming for him. At first, he was able to hold his own with the Strength Elephant Art, but gradually, as his stamina was depleted, some drawbacks began to emerge. His physical strength was gradually failing him, while the four Dou Di in front of him continued their relentless attacks. Several times, when they tried to stop the Northern King from devouring the Thunder Dragon, Xiao Yan forcefully stopped them.
With the Heavenly Severing Steps, even if Xiao Yan couldn't defeat the four people in front of him, he was confident he could protect himself.
In such an intense battle, Xiao Yan's strength was consumed extremely quickly. However, at the same time, his combat experience became increasingly profound. Imagine, Xiao Yan is now able to remain unharmed even under the siege of four Nine-Star Dou Di. If he were to face Nine-Star Dou Di again in the future, wouldn't he be able to handle it with ease?
As for Chen Zhen and the others, although they also wished they could kill Xiao Yan, they could only helplessly withdraw their thoughts when they thought of the Lightning Punishment Oath. They only hated Xiao Yan's cunning, which allowed him to restrict their actions with the Lightning Punishment Oath.
"Damn it, this kid is incredibly troublesome. We can't let him drag this out any longer. We need to make the first move and destroy the Thunder Dragon!"
The man in black cursed angrily, then moved swiftly past Xiao Yan. Taking advantage of the fact that the latter was being held back by Yan He and the other two, he wanted to seize the opportunity to go forward and destroy the thunder dragon that was about to be devoured by the Northern King.
However, in the next instant, as the black-robed man approached the Northern King, the Northern King, who had been motionless, suddenly turned around and forcefully shoved the remaining dragon head into his body from his chest. Almost simultaneously, he unleashed both fists with terrifying lightning power, slamming them into the chest of the stunned black-robed man before him.
"Bang!"
In an instant, a terrifyingly powerful force erupted from the Northern King's fists, mixed with extremely powerful and violent lightning. With overwhelming force, it instantly destroyed the meridians and internal organs of the black-robed man, leaving him severely injured in just a moment.
"Pfft..."
His face beneath the black robe suddenly turned deathly pale, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Then, he was instantly destroyed into nothingness by the lightning surrounding the Northern King's body.
"Bang..."
A muffled explosion resounded within the black-robed man's body, which was instantly thrown backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily into the stone door of the main hall. Powerful force and lightning surged outwards, and the heavy stone door swung open with a deafening roar...
In an instant, both battle zones fell silent, and the crowd below turned their shocked gazes toward the purple-gold figure in mid-air, whose body was crackling with lightning.
At the forefront of the crowd, the faces of Chen Zhen and Qin Yun's two groups turned ashen at that moment.
