The sudden change in the arena caused the Seven-Star Dou Di's expression to change instantly. His lightning-fast forward momentum had to slow down. With a flick of his sleeve, an invisible force swept forward, stopping the old man's flying figure. At this moment, the latter was already nearly seriously injured.
Xiao Yan's attack not only shattered his ribs but also damaged his meridians, meaning he would likely be unable to recover for the next month or two.
"Kid, I'm trying to reason with you, and you still want to fight!"
After carefully examining the old man's injuries, the Seven-Star Dou Di's face immediately darkened, his gloomy old eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, a deep anger surging within them.
"Gentle advice? You're just afraid I might kill him at any moment because he's in my hands, so you're hesitant to act for fear of harming him."
Xiao Yan's words exposed the truth, and the Seven-Star Dou Di's face turned pale and then red.
"Regardless of the circumstances, you have repeatedly injured my Northern Wasteland Hall members today; you owe me an explanation!"
Although he desperately wanted to capture the person in front of him, the Seven-Star Dou Di was no fool. From Xiao Yan's previous actions, he could tell that the latter's strength was probably no less than his own.
This was the first time he had ever seen a Seven-Star Dou Di so young, which made him even more wary of the latter.
"What do you mean by 'excuses'? Does it count as 'disliking your aggressive and domineering manner'?"
With a sneer, Xiao Yan said sarcastically.
"Boy, when has it ever been your place to interfere in the affairs of my Northern Wasteland Hall? If you can produce a powerful background that makes my Northern Wasteland Hall wary, then I'll swallow this matter myself!"
"No need to test me. Don't worry, I'm alone and have no powerful backing, so you don't need to worry. If you want to make a move, just come at me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled, his dark eyes fixed on the former, as if he had already seen through the other's thoughts.
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the onlookers. Amidst this mocking laughter, the Seven-Star Dou Di's lips twitched involuntarily, and his eyes flashed with killing intent.
"You arrogant brat! Let me test your skills and see just how capable you really are!"
High in the sky, a figure flashed by at lightning speed, arriving in front of Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye. With a swing of his right leg, he twisted his body violently in mid-air, and a fierce gust of wind from his right calf tore through the void, slamming it down fiercely towards Xiao Yan's head!
The immense power arrived in an instant, as if it were meant to take a life in one strike, displaying unparalleled domineering and ruthlessness!
The sudden appearance of this scene caused a gasp from the surrounding crowd, and even some Dou Di powerhouses showed a deep solemnity on their faces.
Although the old man looked frail, he was, after all, Seven-Star Dou Di with astonishing strength. Once he made a move, his momentum was truly earth-shattering!
Faced with the old man's extremely fierce and sudden attack, Xiao Yan remained calm and composed, without even blinking. He twirled his right hand, his sleeve billowing, and then lightly swung it forward, his movements gentle and undisturbed.
In the blink of an eye, their attacks collided heavily.
At that moment, accompanied by a low explosion, surging energy ripples swept outwards from the point of impact, and the powerful force instantly destroyed the shops on both sides, turning everything inside into ashes!
Their hands and feet separated in an instant. Xiao Yan stood motionless, his black robes not even fluttering. In contrast, the Seven-Star Dou Di staggered back dozens of steps before finally coming to a stop in a disheveled state.
In just one round of combat, the difference in strength between the two was fully revealed.
The moment he stopped, the old man suddenly raised his gloomy old eyes, staring at Xiao Yan with a shocked look, his heart filled with horror!
" Eight-Star Dou Di!"
At this moment, everyone present stared at the message in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
There are quite a few Eight-Star Dou Di Eight-Star Dou Di this vast Northern Region, but very few are as young as Xiao Yan. In their memory, they have never seen such a person in any force.
At this moment, the one who was most shocked was naturally the Peak Late Seven Star Dou Di expert who had just fought with Xiao Yan.
He had thought that even though Xiao Yan's cultivation was not weak, it was at most about the same level as his own. But as it stands now, the latter's strength is actually much stronger than he had imagined!
Eight-Star Dou Di, with such cultivation, would hold a high position even within the Northern Wasteland Hall. Yet, this young man before us is also an eight-star Dou Di, which is truly unimaginable!
After this incident, we must report the cultivation level and characteristics of the person before us to our superiors!
The old man thought to himself, but when he looked at Xiao Yan, he unconsciously lowered his posture.
Perhaps this is the inherent deterrent power of the strong; as long as you show your strength, even the toughest bone will soften before you.
Do you have any further questions for me?
Noticing the change in the latter's eyes, Xiao Yan smiled coldly to himself. He had seen far too many people with this kind of look.
They always judge people by their appearance, but when real blows come, they dare not believe it. Only repeated suppression can make them truly wake up.
"Uh... cough cough, sir, I admit that what happened today was indeed our fault. People of such wicked character should not exist in my Northern Wasteland Hall. Your actions have helped us remove a cancer. We were truly offended by your actions just now, and we hope you will forgive us!"
The old man awkwardly cupped his hands to Xiao Yan, his Elder Zhang turning a deep purple as he bowed. He couldn't believe his own words, but to avoid the trouble ahead, he had no choice but to back down. As for settling scores later, once the identity of the black-robed youth was discovered, all the old and new scores would be settled together!
Xiao Yan naturally didn't bother with the old man's thoughts. If he could, he would never want to provoke the local bullies. The reason he had attacked them repeatedly was only to divert their attention and shift their focus away from the Zhu Family Village. As for himself, Xiao Yan would not be afraid of anyone who came unless they were experts at the Origin Transformation Realm.
