" Xiao Yan... it's you again! Are you trying to ruin my plans once more?"
Ye Luotian's face was extremely gloomy. He was so close to inheriting the Dou Qi, but it was ruined by the person in front of him. This made him extremely angry.
As Ye Luotian's gaze fell upon Xiao Yan, a man in black robes beside him also cast a sinister look at the latter, his eyes as sharp as a venomous snake's, sending chills down one's spine.
"Heh, Ye Luotian, you and I are already irreconcilable enemies. It's only natural that he ruined your plans. Besides, he's not someone you can mess with."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled, and then his gaze involuntarily fell on the black-robed man beside Ye Luotian.
"It's him... that guy who used to be with Qin Yun, but how come he's standing next to Ye Luotian now?"
With his eyes narrowed, Xiao Yan felt a sense of suspicion. Just who was this man in black robes? Judging from his current position, he didn't seem to be controlled by Ye Luotian. There must be some special relationship between the two of them, maintaining the balance between them.
With this in mind, Xiao Yan's gaze shifted again, and he found Yan Hua and Yan Lie among the crowd, but he still couldn't see Qin Yun, which really surprised Xiao Yan.
If the man in black robes had betrayed Qin Yun, Xiao Yan wouldn't be surprised at all. But Yan Hua and Yan Lie were Qin Yun's personal guards, so why were they standing with Ye Luotian?
Of course, none of that mattered to Xiao Yan at this moment. The important thing was to deal with the group of guys in front of him first.
"Why... why did you save me?"
At this moment, Murong Xuan had also recovered from the sudden change. His gaze turned and he saw Xiao Yan beside him. Immediately, his expression faltered slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Like I just said, we're irreconcilable enemies. Ruining his plans would actually be a good thing for me, especially since you're Murong Qianqian's brother, which gives me even more reason to take action."
Xiao Yan smiled, making no attempt to hide anything.
"I think the last sentence is more plausible, but even so, I'll still blame you for my sister running away from home."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the surprise on Murong Xuan's face gradually faded. The impulsiveness of the previous moment was quickly suppressed in his heart. His gaze calmly swept over Xiao Yan in front of him, and then he turned his hateful eyes to Ye Luotian.
" Ye Luotian, I will remember this. I will repay you for what you have done today!"
For some reason, although there were twenty Nine-Star Dou Di powerhouses in front of him, the despair in Murong Xuan's heart was instantly swept away when Xiao Yan appeared beside him, and his tone of voice became colder.
"Hehehehe... The future? A future indeed! I'll see how the two of you... no, the four of you, can escape from my grasp!"
Ye Luotian glanced disdainfully at Murong Xuan's two guardians. One was Nine-Star Dou Di, and the other was an Eight-Star Dou Di. In the current situation, their strength was simply insignificant.
"Heh, Ye Luotian, I never expected that you could control so many Nine-Star Dou Di powerhouses by relying on the Withered Leaf Gu. But you're unpopular, and I believe you'll get yourself killed sooner or later!"
Ignoring the former, Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the twenty Nine-Star Dou Di experts, his tone carrying a cold sarcasm.
Powerful control will only lead to one's own demise. As things stand now, Ye Luotian's fate is already clear; he will die by his own hand sooner or later.
"Hmph, might makes right, but you probably won't live to see that day, because you're going to die right now!"
Ye Luotian snorted coldly, then suddenly waved his sleeve, ordering the twenty Nine-Star Dou Di experts around him to charge towards Xiao Yan and his companions.
Beside Murong Xuan, the two Dou Di experts quickly stepped forward to protect him on both sides. At the same time, they also turned their solemn gazes to the twenty Nine-Star Dou Di experts who were charging towards them.
Faced with such a formidable lineup, they had absolutely no chance of winning. But even so, in order to protect Murong Xuan from harm, they would never back down even a step!
"Hehe, let me do it."
Xiao Yan's dark eyes flickered slightly, a cold smile on his face. He slowly stepped forward, walking to the front of the four people. Under the surprised gazes of the two old men behind him, he slowly raised his palm.
He raised his hand, palm facing the twenty Nine-Star Dou Di who were charging towards him, but he did not use any power.
The two elderly men behind him exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, swallowed hard, and dared not relax for a moment.
Although they had witnessed Xiao Yan defeat them, the situation was quite different now. No matter how strong Xiao Yan was, he could never be a match for twenty Nine-Star Dou Di. Therefore, even they dared not completely trust Xiao Yan.
Hehehehehe...
Even Ye Luotian couldn't help but chuckle at this bizarre scene, his laughter filled with disdain.
Facing twenty Nine-Star Dou Di, to still dare to make such an outrageous gesture is tantamount to courting death.
As for the black-robed man standing beside him, upon seeing this, his face beneath the black robe showed a thoughtful expression with furrowed brows.
He knew Xiao Yan far better than anyone around him. He believed that Xiao Yan was not the kind of person who would be foolish enough to throw his life away. The reason he dared to make such a move must be because he had some kind of confidence.
But even he couldn't fathom how Xiao Yan could possibly have any chance against twenty Nine-Star Dou Di at the same time.
This is simply unbelievable.
However, the doubts in the black-robed man's heart were immediately answered.
"Certainly!"
The words came out softly from Xiao Yan's mouth.
The next instant, just as the group of Dou Di experts surrounded Xiao Yan and his companions, and various powerful Dou Technique rained down from the sky, bombarding the four of them, the world suddenly froze.
No, it wasn't frozen; rather, all the movements of everyone present were controlled by a powerful force. Even the flying Dou Technique were forcibly frozen in mid-air.
Xiao Yan's single word truly stopped the attacks of these twenty Nine-Star Dou Di powerhouses!
Immediately, just as everyone was filled with immense fear, two figures dressed in black robes appeared silently beside Xiao Yan, like ghosts.
