However, Xiao Yan, who was in mid-air, revealed a sarcastic smile at this moment.
From the very beginning, Xiao Yan had no intention of directly confronting Bibi Dong's attack, nor did he intend to escape the territory of Spirit City using his own speed.
The biggest trump card he brought back from the Starfall Pavilion was prepared for this moment.
Xiao Yan wouldn't give Bibi Dong time to unleash a stronger Soul Skill or summon other Spirit Hall elders to come to her aid.
The next moment, a bluish-black stone, about the size of an infant's fist, appeared out of thin air in Xiao Yan's hand.
The stone had a rough, uneven surface, and at first glance it looked like an ordinary rock that had been weathered for countless years, with a few inconspicuous cracks on it.
But the moment it appeared, an extremely restrained yet chilling energy fluctuation faintly emanated from the stone.
This caused Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who had been looking calm, to change their expressions simultaneously.
Feeling Bibi Dong's undisguised Soul Power attack rapidly approaching from behind, Xiao Yan directly poured his own Soul Power into it.
The moment the Soul Power came into contact with the stone, dazzling blue light burst forth from those seemingly inconspicuous cracks.
A deep blue light instantly illuminated the surface of the stone. The light was not dazzling, but it carried a vast and awe-inspiring aura that made people's hearts tremble.
A powerful, suffocating wind-attribute force surged forth from the stone in an instant, like a storm that had been suppressed for thousands of years finally finding an outlet.
"Click click click!"
A series of crisp cracking sounds rang out from the air.
That wasn't the sound of stone shattering, but rather the crackling sound of wind-attribute power rubbing against the space itself.
That force formed a rapidly spinning vortex around Xiao Yan, enveloping his entire body within it.
The whirlwind rotated so fast that it was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye; only a ring of cyan light could be seen circulating around Xiao Yan.
To Xiao Yan's even greater surprise, the Twin Flame Wings, enhanced by this wind-attribute power, increased by nearly half again.
Its wingspan, originally three zhang, instantly expanded to nearly five zhang. The pure white cold flames on the left wing and the green hot flames on the right wing intertwined under the swirling wind, forming a dazzling yet dangerous band of light.
Almost the instant the whirlwind appeared, Xiao Yan's figure resembled a streak of azure aurora.
He was originally at the entrance of the Pope's Palace, but in the next second he instantly appeared in mid-air, a hundred feet above the ground.
The wind pressure generated by his movement ripped a layer of stone slabs off the front of the Pope's Palace, and the gravel and dust formed a huge vortex in mid-air.
He easily dodged Bibi Dong's impenetrable attack; the black blades grazed past his afterimages without even touching the hem of his clothes.
quiet.
The square in front of the Pope's Palace fell into a deathly silence.
Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.
Her fingers tightened slightly, and the knuckles of her hand gripping the scepter turned white from the force.
The speed with which Xiao Yan dodged her attack was beyond what an ordinary Titled Douluo could achieve.
She had seen no fewer than dozens of Titled Douluo.
The Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Seven Great Sects, and the Spirit Hall's retainers.
Even among those Titled Douluo who excel in speed Agility Attack System, only a handful can reach this level in terms of pure movement speed.
Xiao Yan's current strength is only at the Soul Emperor!
A Soul Emperor demonstrated a speed that surpassed the vast majority of Titled Douluo.
This can no longer be described as "genius"; it can only be described as "impossible."
The Gui Mei and Yue Guan on the roof not far away also stared wide-eyed at the figure enveloped in the blue whirlwind in mid-air, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Gui Mei's usually calm and collected face was now filled with shock.
His Gui Ying form even became unstable for a moment due to shock, with the black mist at the edges constantly churning, showing the intense turmoil in his heart.
"A mere Soul Emperor actually managed to evade His Holiness the Pope's attack?"
There was a tremor in Yue Guan's voice that he himself was unaware of.
He turned to look at the Gui Mei beside him, his narrow eyes filled with disbelief:
"Am I seeing things? How could a Soul Emperor possibly have such speed?"
The Gui Mei hiding in the shadows remained silent.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long silence, he finally managed to utter a sentence:
"You read that right. That speed is beyond either of our capabilities."
Gui Mei was usually a man of few words, but when he said those words, they carried more weight than a hundred words from anyone else.
He is recognized as the fastest person in the entire Spirit Hall. When he goes all out, even Titled Douluo of the same level would find it difficult to track his movements.
But at this moment, he admitted it himself.
Xiao Yan's speed was superior to his.
Upon hearing Yue Guan's face paled even further.
He subconsciously looked up and glanced at Bibi Dong, who was still standing in the ruins of the main hall.
His Holiness the Pope's face remained calm, but he knew His Holiness all too well; beneath that placid facade, a turbulent storm was likely brewing.
Bibi Dong stood on the stone slab ground cracked by her own scepter, looking up at the figure enveloped in a blue whirlwind in mid-air.
Her face didn't show much change in expression, but deep in her eyes, an extremely complex light surged.
That wasn't anger, nor humiliation, but a kind of greed that had been deeply aroused.
In just one year.
A junior who couldn't even withstand a single palm strike from her back then has actually grown to this level.
Now, just one year later, this ant has not only returned, but also brought with it a power that has even made her take notice.
Those wings of interwoven blue and white flames, that wind-attribute energy she had never seen before, and that speed that even Gui Mei would be ashamed of.
All of this was brought back from that other world.
Just how powerful is the cultivation system in this other world?
If she could also obtain that power, if she could master the method of traversing between two worlds like Xiao Yan, and take all the cultivation resources of both worlds for herself...
Bibi Dong's breathing quickened slightly.
As the Pope the Spirit Hall, she has already reached the pinnacle of this world.
But this peak is also her bottleneck.
Above that lies the realm of God.
That was a realm she might not be able to reach even if she used all the resources of the Spirit Hall.
Countless times she had sat alone in the dead of night, feeling the invisible ceiling pressing down on her head, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
At this moment, the existence of another world has given her a completely new possibility.
If she could master that power, if she could cultivate the techniques of two worlds simultaneously.
Breaking through that bottleneck may no longer be an unattainable dream.
On that day, even a god would not be afraid to fight!
We must catch him!
Almost instantly, Bibi Dong's resolve became stronger than ever before.
This thought burned like a raging fire in her chest, burning away all her hesitation and worries.
The secrets surrounding Xiao Yan, his method of traversing space, the cultivation techniques and Dou Technique from other worlds, and the hidden power within him that can threaten Titled Douluo.
No matter the cost, she had to get it.
