"How arrogant! Let's see who's truly more than capable and see who proves themselves!"
With a loud shout, Yan He He's body trembled, and powerful Dou Qi energy burst forth from his body. With a wave of his sleeve, it transformed into streaks of Dou Qi, slashing fiercely towards Xiao Yan's head.
The fierce Dou Qi arrived in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye, but the latter was not afraid at all. Only when the several streaks of Dou Qi qi were about to reach him did he slightly turn his head and easily dodge them.
But then, Yan He suddenly lunged forward, his palm slashing fiercely across Yan He Xiao Yan's chest. The powerful Dou Qi even tore through the void, yet it left no mark on Xiao Yan's body.
"What!"
Yan He was suddenly shocked. Of course, this was not because he intentionally held back, but because he had clearly aimed his palm at Xiao Yan's body. Just as the palm was about to reach Xiao Yan's body, he was shocked to find that the latter had unknowingly and perfectly dodged his attack at a clever angle!
"How is this possible!"
Yan He was shocked. The latter was ultimately just a Six-Star Dou Di, but how could his speed and strength have both increased to such a terrifying level at the same time? It was completely impossible!
"Heh, trying to launch a sneak attack under the cover of Fourth-Tier Soul Power, how foolish."
Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh, then suddenly twisted his body, using half of his body to heavily collide with Yan He, who was passing by.
Although Xiao Yan's attack was heavy, Yan He was, after all, Nine-Star Dou Di. He felt the pain and retreated rapidly. As his Dou Qi surged, he forcefully dissipated the immense force. Even so, his blood and Qi still surged, and his face turned slightly pale.
"Kid, you've got some impressive brute strength, but with that, you'll never get the Dou Qi inheritance!"
Yan He sneered and lunged at Xiao Yan once again. However, this time he was more cautious than before. His mission was simply to hold Xiao Yan back. Once Qin Yun obtained the Dou Qi inheritance, they could immediately turn around and retreat. As for the score with Xiao Yan, they could settle it later.
Upon hearing Yan He's words, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at the Dou Qi inheritance. Sure enough, Qin Yun was rapidly approaching the Dou Qi inheritance under the protection of the black-robed man. If no one stopped him, the Dou Qi inheritance would probably fall into his hands soon.
"Snort."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan let out a cold snort in his heart. He originally did not want to compete for this Dou Qi inheritance, but Qin Yun actually took the initiative to cause him trouble, which made Xiao Yan feel annoyed.
"Fine, since you want me to compete, then I'll compete with you!"
With a cold sneer, Xiao Yan's gaze suddenly shifted back to Yan He in front of him. His eyes were indifferent, and his icy killing intent was revealed without any concealment, sending chills down one's spine.
When Yan He met Xiao Yan's gaze, a chill Yan He his spine. For some reason, Xiao Yan in front of him actually made him feel a sense of fear.
"Drink!"
With a loud shout, Yan He moved first, wanting to strike first, but this time, Xiao Yan did not intend to give him any more chances.
He raised his right palm to his chest and tossed it into the air. Three black steel needles appeared in front of him. Then, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and the three steel needles shot towards Yan He in sequence.
Seeing the three steel needles flying towards him, Yan He dared not be careless. He slightly turned his body and easily dodged one of them.
As for the remaining two, Yan He also shot out two streams of Dou Qi spirit, which collided fiercely with them.
However...
"Um?"
Just when Yan He thought that was the end of it, he suddenly saw that the two streams of Dou Qi he had shot out were easily pierced by the two steel needles, and their power was not diminished at all as they shot towards him, and they were already in front of him, with no way to avoid them.
"Hmph, stop right there!"
With a low shout, Yan He stretched out both hands, his powerful Dou Qi quickly covering his palms, and grabbed at the two steel needles.
"Laugh..."
But just as Yan He's hand grasped the two steel needles, he was horrified to discover that they were as slippery as eels, and he couldn't hold them at all!
Damn it!
As his expression changed drastically, Yan He hurriedly controlled the Dou Qi within his body, continuously pouring it into the Dou Qi Armor on his chest.
DingTalk!
With two crisp sounds, Yan He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two steel needles had been blocked by his Dou Qi Armor.
However, the next moment, his entire face suddenly contorted, and he seemed to convulse. His eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and the life force in his pupils rapidly dissipated.
Before he died, Yan He looked down and saw two huge holes in his chest, filling his entire chest cavity...
Under the influence of the Great Dao of the Void, wherever the steel needle pierced, the bones and internal organs of that area were completely devoured, as if his body had been suddenly separated.
Imagine, how could a person survive without their internal organs?
As life faded, Yan He's body fell uncontrollably downwards, crashing heavily onto the corpses on the hall floor.
After swiftly killing Yan He, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate for long. With a wave of his hand, the flying steel needle was quickly retrieved, while the one that had entered Yan He's body dissipated on its own and would probably take some time to reform.
However, this did not have a significant impact on Xiao Yan at this time. Even without two needles, he still had eight. He could exchange two steel needles for the life of a Nine-Star Dou Di. In other words, without relying on his other methods, he could kill four more Nine-Star Dou Di with just these eight steel needles.
Such power is enough for him to challenge any force within this ancient tomb.
Of course, at this moment, Xiao Yan was not concerned about challenging any forces, but rather about the Soul Origin power of Venerable Heavenly Severing and the Origin Return Art. Perhaps he could also add one more thing to it.
The inheritance of Dou Qi.
With a shift in his gaze, Xiao Yan looked towards the location of the Dou Qi inheritance. Sure enough, Qin Yun had already arrived and was about to put it into his Storage Ring.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression immediately turned cold. At this distance, he couldn't possibly stop it instantly, so he could only...
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of his finger, the steel needle that had fallen into his hand shot forward again, passing through the crowd in front of him and heading straight for Qin Yun.
However, just as the steel needle reached Qin Yun, the black-robed man beside him suddenly struck out, knocking the needle away with a palm strike from the side. The needle pierced the body of a Dou Di expert not far away, causing a heart-wrenching scream to erupt within the hall.
"Um?"
Xiao Yan's face darkened, and he stared intently. The black-robed man, through the cover of his robe, revealed a pair of cold eyes that met Xiao Yan's gaze. At the same time, Qin Yun grabbed the Dou Qi that was nearly the size of a washbasin in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
However, in the next moment, something unexpected happened.
