After casually killing the middle-aged man, Xiao Yan turned his gaze back to Master Hu, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.
Since they were from the Northern Wasteland Hall, Xiao Yan naturally didn't need to hold back when he made a move. He thought these guys would know to back down after seeing his strength, but judging from the situation, it didn't seem to be the case as Xiao Yan had imagined.
"Boy, you'd better think this through. The people of the Northern Wasteland Hall are not easy to kill. If you really kill us, the Northern Wasteland Hall will definitely not let you off!"
Noticing Xiao Yan's extremely cold gaze, Master Hu's heart sank. He had hoped to intimidate Xiao Yan with the help of the Northern Wasteland Hall, but unfortunately, his idea was clearly wrong.
"Killing you won't get me from the Northern Wasteland Hall... but if I don't kill you, will they let me go?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh, raised one hand, and flames immediately surged above Master Hu's head. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a large, eerie white hand of flame, which was about to fall down on Master Hu's head.
"Kid, don't push your luck!"
Upon seeing the giant hand of flame, Master Hu felt a chill run down his spine. He had already witnessed how terrifying this thing was, and if he allowed it to fall on him, wouldn't he end up like the man who had just been struck by it?
Unfortunately, under Xiao Yan's absolute pressure, even as Eight-Star Dou Di, he was unable to break free and could only watch helplessly as the giant fiery hand hovering above his head crashed down.
However, just as the fiery hand descended, Master Hu suddenly let out a shrill scream, shouting:
" Hall Master Su, save me!"
A scream rang out from the ancient castle deep within the city, and an extremely powerful aura swept outwards like a gust of wind. An invisible force condensed in the void into an invisible blade, which shot fiercely towards the fiery hand.
"One should be lenient when one can. Your actions show a lack of respect for the Northern Wasteland Hall."
A deep voice followed, and then a muffled thud echoed in the air. The fiery hand that had been hovering above Master Hu's head dissipated. Xiao Yan remained unmoved. He had sensed the man's presence as soon as he entered the city, but he hadn't paid it any mind.
At the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di, Xiao Yan was already completely unafraid of such a level of cultivation several months ago, let alone now.
As the fiery hand dissipated, the powerful aura that had been suppressing Master Hu also dissipated. Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged figure appeared in front of Master Hu, shielding him with half of his body.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the Elder Zhang face immediately lit up with surprise. At the same time, a sneer appeared in his gaze as he looked at Xiao Yan, as if to say that he had Nine-Star Dou Di behind him and was not afraid of Xiao Yan.
As the middle-aged man appeared, everyone else in the room immediately cast respectful glances at him. Like Xiao Yan, whose intimidating presence was no less than that of a powerful figure, or perhaps because he had been guarding this place for many years, these people were more wary of this Hall Master Su.
With the strength of Nine-Star Dou Di, he is second only to the Five Great Families in this city. Even the Five Great Families respectfully worship him. The reason why Master Hu was able to summon him at the crucial moment is partly due to his years of worship.
As soon as Hall Master Su appeared, his sharp gaze tore through the void like a sword and landed on Xiao Yan. At the same time, the latter met his gaze calmly.
"Kindness?"
Immediately afterward, Hall Master Su looked at Xiao Yan's youthful face, and something seemed to come to mind. He had seen this face not long ago. Although it was only a general outline, he could still recognize at a glance that the person in front of him was the one the Palace Master had ordered to deal with.
Noticing the surprised look in Hall Master Su, Xiao Yan smiled coldly. He knew that this guy must have recognized him, but that didn't matter. Whether he recognized him or not, he was going to kill them today.
He didn't want to cause trouble with the Northern Wasteland Hall, but these guys thought they were of high status and no one could touch them. Just because he killed a One-Star Dou Di, countless ants would rush over. In the end, the reason for today's situation was partly due to Pang Liu.
But none of that matters anymore. Xiao Xuan was injured, the Northern King was sealed inside the Obsidian Tower, and he was almost detained by the Southern Hall. If he had been detained, he would have surely died. Since the other party wouldn't leave him any room for maneuver, he naturally had no need to hold back when he attacked.
"You are... the guy who killed Elder Li?"
The middle-aged man's face showed a hint of suspicion. He still couldn't believe that the person who could kill a Seven-Star Dou Di was just such a young man. Although he had seen the latter's portrait, seeing it with his own eyes still surprised him greatly.
Upon hearing this, Master Hu's expression immediately changed. He had naturally heard about this matter before, and only then did he understand why Xiao Yan had attacked them without any scruples.
"Kid, are you coming with me yourself, or do I have to take you back myself?"
The middle-aged man spoke in a cold and indifferent tone, seemingly unconcerned about the strength Xiao Yan had just displayed.
After all, he is a young man. No matter how strong his cultivation is, how strong can he be? Moreover, there are many powerful people from the Northern Wasteland Hall present. If they join forces, it would be a piece of cake for them to take down Xiao Yan.
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan grinned, a smile that appeared extremely cold.
"How about... you come with me?"
"What?"
The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, seemingly not quite believing what Xiao Yan said. However, in the next moment, a dark figure appeared in front of him like a ghost.
With a flick of his wrist, he brought his hand down heavily on the middle-aged man's chest.
"What! This kid... his speed is terrifying!"
Despite being greatly alarmed, the middle-aged man dared not hesitate for a moment. His years of combat experience gave him absolute composure in this situation. Although he was shocked by Xiao Yan's attack, his actions were completely calm.
His Dou Qi spirit surged and rapidly condensed in his palm, then clashed fiercely with Xiao Yan's palm.
"Bang!"
With a single blow, the middle-aged man, though not seriously injured, was sent flying by Xiao Yan's palm strike, his blood churning within him.
