Shao Xuan had just appeared in this dark world where the Yi family was fighting when he felt a wave of heat wash over him. His vision was filled with balls of fire.
Without thinking too much, he mobilized the power of his fire seed and used it as a shield to block the large balls of flames that were smashing towards him like a group of meteors.
Judging from the situation, the Yi family must have fought at least once while he was away.
While he was thinking, a spear of fire shot towards Shao Xuan.
Sensing the approaching danger, Shao Xuan did not have time to think. His body reflexively took two steps back. The spear of orange-red flames almost brushed past Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan could even feel the scorching heat from the spear. It felt like he would have been burned if he had been one step slower.
"You're finally here." A slightly hoarse and indifferent voice rang out.
Shao Xuan looked up. It was Yi Xiang. But unlike his previous nonchalant tone, Yi Xiang's words were laced with murderous intent.
The center of the battlefield looked calm, but anyone could tell that a large-scale battle had just taken place here. There were several Bone Reading Beasts on the Yi family's side. There were also some balls of fire that he could not identify. There were a total of twelve of them. Even though he could not see their faces, Shao Xuan could sense the tension in the Yi family's camp. It was obvious that they had not had the upper hand in the previous battles. Even though they looked powerful and imposing, they could not hide their anxiety. Their morale was unstable and they lacked confidence!
Yi Xiang was still standing there alone. He did not look much different from when Shao Xuan left last time. If not for the fact that Shao Xuan had been keeping an eye on the Yi family's situation, keeping an eye on Yi Zong's movements even when he was not here, and seeing the scattered balls of fire when he arrived, no one would have thought that Yi Xiang had just fought someone.
Unlike the commotion in the Yi family camp, Yi Xiang looked too calm, so calm that it sent chills down everyone's spines.
The Yi family did not pay much attention to Shao Xuan's appearance. Right now, most of them were not in the mood to think about this tribesman who came and went as he pleased. Only Yi Tuan had looked at Shao Xuan for a few seconds when he appeared. After that, they stared at Yi Xiang warily, waiting for his next move.
Yi Tuan's heart was bitter and sorrowful. He did not know Yi Xiang's true strength from the earlier clash but he had a rough idea. Yi Xiang was indeed much stronger than they had imagined. The hundred of them would not be able to do anything to Yi Xiang, much less gain the upper hand.
Yi Tuan also felt that the once-powerful Yi family was beginning to decline. Beneath their prosperous facade, they were now so weak!
Yi Tuan could not refute Yi Xiang's words when he first appeared. Yi Xiang's' your generation is no good 'was the first slap in the face. They wanted to retaliate but reality proved that they were slapped again, and this time it was even more painful!
As for Shao Xuan? Yi Tuan did not expect Shao Xuan to be able to defeat Yi Xiang. If they could not do it, this tribesman was even worse. However, they might be able to use this tribesman's appearance to their advantage.
While Yi Tuan's mind was in turmoil, Yi Xiang paid no attention to the Yi family camp. Instead, he was staring at Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan felt two sharp glints shooting out of Yi Xiang's eyes.
This person was coming for him!
Murderous intent! Even more so than the Yi family camp!
Shao Xuan: "…"
Why was there such a deep grudge?
Yi Xiang had caused trouble for Rock Hill City and turned Shao Xuan into a zombie. Of course, Yi Xiang would not treat Shao Xuan kindly. However, Shao Xuan did not think that his grudge with Yi Xiang was greater than the Yi family. After all, it was the Yi family who forced Yi Xiang to flee to another mainland. Even Yi Si had said that if Yi Xiang attacked the Yi family, he would annihilate the entire family. He did not care that they were all from the same tribe.
But now, Yi Xiang seemed to want to kill Shao Xuan more than the Yi family!
Shao Xuan only wanted to use the Yi family's war to see how powerful the legendary Yi Xiang was, and to see how capable the people behind Rock Hill City were. But who knew that they would encounter such a situation? When he first came here, Yi Xiang did not react this way. Did something unexpected happen while he was away?
Shao Xuan's suspicions were mixed with his wariness. He planned to escape. So be it. His previous plan was based on the assumption that Yi Xiang would hate the Yi family even more. But now, Yi Xiang's target was Shao Xuan himself. Shao Xuan did not need to stay here any longer. This was the Yi family's main battlefield, not his. He would be an idiot to fight the Yi family here!
However, after trying a few times with his consciousness, Shao Xuan realised that the method he used to leave this place was completely useless now!
He couldn't get out!
"Since you're here, you might as well stay."
Yi Xiang's voice sounded like it was blown by the desert wind. He was like a predator hiding in the desert, finally baring his fangs.
Yi Xiang's nonchalant attitude changed. Before he even finished speaking, he had already started moving, not giving Shao Xuan, Yi Tuan and the rest any time to react.
In front of Yi Xiang, the wall of fire that the Bone Reading Beasts could not pass through suddenly surged upwards, like a volcano that had been brewing for a long time and was about to erupt!
With the wall of fire as its centre, powerful flames flowed. Orange-red with hints of white spread rapidly in all directions. Spread, spread again!
The real storm was finally coming.
Just the spreading flames were like a raging river, forcing the Bone Reading Beasts to retreat.
In comparison, Yi Xiang's behaviour in the previous battle was nothing but mild!
Sharp, powerful!
Murderous without a trace of hesitation!
This was the Yi Xiang now, or perhaps, the real Yi Xiang!
Even though they could not see Yi Tuan and the rest's expressions, it was clear how shocked they were.
However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.
The wall of fire under Yi Xiang's control that seemed to connect heaven and earth began to change from top to bottom.
At the top, the top of the wall of fire expanded outwards like a giant umbrella. Below them, waves of fire spread in all directions.
"Oh no!" Yi Tuan shouted.
"He's going to trap us all here!" Another person beside Yi Tuan exclaimed.
Those who came were the best of the Yi family's main branch, or people of high status. If none of them made it back, Yi Tuan did not dare to imagine what would happen to the Yi family.
The balance of the Royal City was supported by the strength of the six tribes. If any of them weakened, the other five tribes would turn into wolves and pounce on the weak prey, not giving it time to breathe or rise again!
Yi Tuan only had one word in his mind — extermination!
Yi Xiang really did want to exterminate the entire family!
Yi Xiang had delayed his attack until now because he was waiting for Shao Xuan to come out, then trap Shao Xuan and the Yi family here!
Yi Tuan did not know why Yi Xiang targeted Shao Xuan. He only wanted to send the Yi family out. Even if he could only send one-tenth of them out, it would reduce the Yi family's losses.
Yi Xiang seemed to have transformed into another person. Although they could not see Yi Xiang's face clearly, anyone who looked at him would feel as though they had encountered a ferocious storm.
In the world of darkness, Yi Xiang's wall of fire seemed to envelop the entire world.
"Retreat!" Yi Tuan shouted.
But it was too late.
They could not leave. The Yi family also realised this.
Shao Xuan wanted to run when he saw the spreading waves of fire beneath his feet. But no matter how fast he ran, he seemed to be stuck in the same spot, trapped with the Yi family.
The world under the control of consciousness was different from the real world. Just like when Shao Xuan discovered the giant creatures in Eagle Mountain, distance was a blur.
Retreat? There was no way out!
The umbrella-like fire shield above the wall of fire was already covering them, connecting with the flames beneath their feet to form an enclosed space.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They were like prey trapped in a cage, waiting to be slaughtered. Helplessness, powerlessness, despair.
Yi Xiang's figure formed by flames became clearer, even his facial expressions were detailed. Everyone's faces could not be seen because of the flames. But now, Yi Xiang's facial features became clearer. They could see the shape of his eyes, nose, mouth and even the slightest movement of his sleeves. It was far clearer than Yi Tuan and the rest's images!
That was why Yi Xiang had not used his full strength in the previous battle. He had only defended, not attacked. Yi Tuan and the other two could not harm Yi Xiang at all even with the help of the hundred-man formation. Now, they could not do anything to Yi Xiang, unless they used other means.
In the dark world, Yi Xiang stood there, his aura strong, cold and domineering. It was as if he was the only one in control of this sealed world, the true ruler!
If not for the fact that the Yi family were the ones being slaughtered, they would have instinctively feared Yi Xiang. Unfortunately, this person showed no mercy to the Yi family. This frightened the Yi family, but they could not muster the will to resist.
Shao Xuan finally felt like he had dug his own grave.
