"Clang!"
Sparks flew as two claws slashed across Xiao Yan's throat one after the other. However, the process only produced a few sparks, and Xiao Yan's standing figure was not even shaken.
"What!"
This scene greatly shocked the powerful member of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan. He never imagined that with his strength, he couldn't even harm the physical body of a mere human.
"How is this possible? The physical strength of my Sea Flood Dragon Clan is naturally superior to that of other races. How could we not even be able to harm a human? This is absolutely impossible!"
Shocked, the man stared wide-eyed, looking back in disbelief. He then clearly saw that Xiao Yan's exposed throat was covered with strange, purplish-gold scales, which had blocked his attack.
"This... this is..."
Instantly, the Sea Flood Dragon Clan expert's expression changed drastically, his heart filled with surprise and doubt. Could the person before him also be a member of the demon beast clan?
However, before he could even look up, Xiao Yan suddenly swung his right hand, clenched his fist, and with a loud thud, slammed it heavily into the former's face!
The dull thud was mixed with the sound of bones breaking. The former felt his entire soul shake violently, and by the time he hit the ground, he had already completely lost consciousness.
After defeating the person in front of him with a single punch, Xiao Yan looked up again, but couldn't help but frown. Although he had dealt with one, countless Sea Flood Dragon Clan even more powerful than the previous one, and their numbers were terrifyingly large. An unavoidable battle was charging towards Xiao Yan head-on.
Judging from the current situation, if he cannot eliminate all the Sea Flood Dragon Clan in the sky, he may not be able to leave this Coiled Serpent Island easily.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's heart sank slightly. He had originally intended to go to the North Sea Academy, but unexpectedly, so many things went wrong along the way. There were always some troubles blocking his way, which made his originally calm heart feel a little irritable.
Now, if we want to leave this place, we have no choice but to deal with this Sea Flood Dragon Clan first!
Taking a deep breath of the cool air, Xiao Yan tried his best to calm himself down. Then, his gaze swept across the sky and he immediately selected a powerful Sea Tribe who was relatively close to him. In an instant, he clenched his fists, his body trembled, and he appeared in front of the man in the blink of an eye. Then, to the latter's astonishment, he punched him hard in the abdomen!
The overwhelming force rendered the latter powerless in an instant, and his consciousness vanished rapidly. Then, like a corpse, he fell heavily to the ground.
The fastest way to resolve this battle is not through endless slaughter. Xiao Yan's goal is simply to render these Sea Tribe incapable of fighting. After all, he doesn't want to get entangled with the powerful races of the ocean, as that would only bring him more trouble.
After a dozen or so punches, more than a dozen of the Sea Tribe's experts had lost their fighting ability. However, when Xiao Yan looked up, the dark, overwhelming Sea Tribe army in the sky still sent chills down his spine, and Xiao Yan's face turned even more gloomy.
With so many opponents, even if he could take them down one by one with a single punch, he didn't know how long it would take. Meanwhile, on the island, some human powerhouses were gradually showing signs of defeat under the siege of the Sea Tribe, and some weaker human powerhouses were even dying one after another at the hands of the Sea Tribe.
Given the current situation, if the war continues to drag on, the only way to end this chaotic conflict is through the deaths and injuries of human warriors. Once the hundred Sea Tribe warriors are selected, this chaotic conflict will naturally cease.
But Xiao Yan couldn't wait that long; he was already impatient for the North Sea Academy and for Hai Mochen.
These guys in front of him would only wear down his already limited patience.
Standing in the void, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and from between his brows, a surging and vast Spiritual Strength immediately spread outwards, quickly enveloping the entire battle area.
Sensing the power of this Spiritual Strength, even Wang Zhiyuan and the Commander Xue in the sky couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the latter. Then, Xiao Yan slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and with a "poof," a pale white flame rose from his palm.
"That's... Heavenly Flames?"
Immediately afterward, Wang Zhiyuan and the Commander Xue's expressions changed simultaneously, and shock welled up in their eyes. But what happened next shocked them even more.
"Buzz!"
As Xiao Yan thought, the pale white flame rising in his palm twisted and trembled. Then, a wave of pale white flames, centered on Xiao Yan, swept outwards in all directions across the sky.
Faced with this seemingly ordinary wave of flames, almost everyone present chose to ignore it. As powerful Dou Di experts with Dou Qi protecting them, what could a mere wave of flames do to them?
However, this seemingly ordinary circle of flames, upon touching those powerful Sea Tribe, ignited fiercely as if they had encountered dry tinder. The Dou Qi they used for protection actually fueled the flames.
Amidst screams, everyone present witnessed a bizarre scene.
As the Bone White Flame that had been enveloping those people gradually dissipated, what appeared before everyone's eyes were figures frozen in ice, and without exception, they were all powerful figures among the Sea Tribe!
"Whoosh!"
This scene immediately caused a huge uproar on Coiled Serpent Island. A series of gasps of cold air rose from the crowd. Then, all the powerful Sea Tribe retreated in fear. Faced with this bizarre scene, even their fierce fighting spirit could not support them to take another step forward.
This is so bizarre, it's terrifyingly bizarre!
Watching one's own kind turn into an ice sculpture under the flames—I doubt anyone could bear such a thing!
In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the powerful members of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan were frozen in ice, while the rest retreated from the area of Coiled Serpent Island in terror.
The atmosphere on the island gradually quieted down, a quietness that was strangely unsettling.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping over the Sea Tribe who had retreated from the area of Coiled Serpent Island, and his extremely cold words slowly came out of his mouth.
"Anyone who dares to take another step forward will suffer the same fate."
The cold words echoed between heaven and earth, like an invisible hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.
Looking at the frozen Sea Tribe, although they could sense a trace of life emanating from them, the bizarre scene just now had completely extinguished their fighting spirit, leaving only endless terror.
Such a bizarre fighting style was something they had never seen before in their lives!
Seeing his people showing fear, the leader of the Commander Xue's face instantly darkened. Others might not know Xiao Yan's methods, but he and Wang Zhiyuan were very clear about them. He was merely using the advantage of the Heavenly Flames. If his people rushed forward, even with the Heavenly Flames as an aid, they couldn't possibly fight a hundred against one.
The reason he was able to intimidate the crowd at this moment was simply by taking advantage of their fear of the unknown. After all, the latter's methods were indeed bizarre in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Hmph, a bunch of good-for-nothings! They were just using the Heavenly Flames to scare you, and you're already too scared to even try? With such a mentality, what makes you think you can enter the Abyss Hall!"
After a scathing rebuke of his own people, the previously timid Sea Tribe suddenly surged forward. The fighting spirit that had been hidden in the eyes of many resurfaced, and with a roar, they charged towards Xiao Yan above Coiled Serpent Island.
"Buzz!"
However, the final result was exactly the same as that of those before them.
A bizarre scene unfolded once again: the dozens of people who rushed forward were mysteriously frozen solid once more. The successive blows completely extinguished the flames that had just ignited in the hearts of the Sea Tribe behind them. No matter how the Commander Xue angrily denounced them, this time, there was no further movement.
"Damn it! Kid, I'll deal with you first, then we'll talk!"
Seeing his clansmen in this state ignited a surge of rage within the Commander Xue. He turned around, his icy gaze immediately falling upon Xiao Yan, and he was about to make his move.
" Commander Xue, if you want to take action against the people on this island, shouldn't you at least ask me first?"
At that very moment, Wang Zhiyuan was one step ahead, and in a flash, he had already blocked the path of the Commander Xue.
" Wang Zhiyuan, are you trying to stop me?"
Do you think I can't do it?
Wang Zhiyuan smiled faintly, a hint of confidence in his smile.
"You want to fight me now?"
The Commander Xue's face darkened completely, and a hint of killing intent crept into his words. However, despite this, Wang Zhiyuan still smiled and said:
" Commander Xue, you don't need to put on airs with me. Your cultivation has indeed improved over the years, and surpassing me is only a matter of time, that much I cannot deny. However, as things stand, you are still no match for me."
"You!"
Upon hearing this, the Commander Xue's face immediately turned fierce, his anger becoming uncontrollable. He swung his muscular right arm fiercely, aiming it directly at Wang Zhiyuan in front of him.
"Bang!"
However, with a muffled thud, Wang Zhiyuan, relying on his own cultivation, managed to block the punch from Commander Xue with one hand. Then, with a shake of his arm, his Dou Qi qi poured out, forcing Commander Xue Leader back half a step.
"So, are you still planning to make a move?"
Wang Zhiyuan slowly pulled his hand, which had just collided with the other's, behind his back. His entire palm had turned completely red and was trembling slightly.
The years of pursuit between the two had made the difference in cultivation level between Commander Xue and him almost negligible. As a member of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan, the former had a natural advantage and was far superior to his opponents of the same level in terms of strength. Now, even if Wang Zhiyuan were to clash with him, he would have little confidence.
What he was relying on at this moment was simply the difference in their temperaments.
" Wang Zhiyuan!"
"Buzz!"
Just as the earth-shattering roar emanated from the Commander Xue, Wang Zhiyuan's powerful aura once again swept outwards, and the frenzied killing intent that had appeared in his eyes vanished like a tidal wave at that moment.
"If you wish to take action, I am happy to oblige."
Wang Zhiyuan uttered calm words once again, but the Commander Xue's face twitched, his gaze constantly shifting between Xiao Yan and the clansmen behind him, his heart filled with inner turmoil.
If the selection process ends here, he will surely be questioned by his superiors when he returns. However, as things stand, the selection process cannot continue at all. If he pushes these guys too far, it will only make them more fearful, which will only cause greater harm.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Zhiyuan in front of him quietly withdrew the aura and pressure he had released, a smile playing on his lips. Based on his understanding of the latter over the years, he could already imagine what the outcome of this matter would be.
Sure enough, fifteen minutes later.
"Hmph! Wang Zhiyuan, there will definitely be a resolution between us, as for you..."
Their gaze swept coldly over Wang Zhiyuan, and then the Commander Xue's eyes fell on Xiao Yan.
"Human brat, I've remembered this. If I ever run into you again, you'll regret it!"
"Walk!"
After uttering a harsh remark, the Commander Xue, filled with anger, turned and led his Sea Tribe back in the direction they had come from, unwilling to give up.
"Wait a minute."
However, at that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up, calling out to Commander Xue in the eyes of everyone on the island, including Wang Zhiyuan.
What else do you want to do?
His cold eyes fell on Xiao Yan the moment he turned around, but the latter smiled faintly, ignoring him, and then said:
" Commander Xue, you seem to have forgotten about them."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan waved his sleeve, and the Sea Tribe who were frozen in ice and those who had fainted on the island below immediately transformed into streaks of light, swarming forward and smashing fiercely at the Commander Xue.
"You..."
With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Commander Xue felt utterly helpless. With a wave of his sleeve, a massive Origin Qi swept outwards, shattering the ice before finally catching the Sea Tribe members one by one.
Then, he threw these completely unconscious guys into the Sea Tribe behind him, yelled angrily at someone, and with a wave of his sleeve, covered in dust, flew away into the depths of the North Sea.
