In front of Xiao Yan's shocked eyes, the majestic ruler glow formed by the seven-layered Heaven Breaking Ruler was split into two by this thin filament-like line. Even the invisible empty space was torn apart. However, due to the part that was cut being too small, it was difficult to distinguish it with one's naked eye.
"Boom!"
Soon after, the power contained in the two halves of the majestic ruler light was no longer under Xiao Yan's control. It suddenly exploded in the sky, turning into waves of hot energy hurricanes that swept out.
In this storm, the thin thread did not slow down at all as it rapidly flew forward. Its target was Xiao Yan.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan's expression could not help but change once again. This so-called Water Sky Breaking Ruler had merged with the power of the Great Way. Its might was not something that an ordinary Dou Skill could compare with. Even the Seven Layer Sky Breaking Ruler had been broken by this thing. Its destructive power was naturally self-evident.
"Source Breaking Needle!"
With Xiao Yan's current skill, it was likely that the only thing that could contend with this thing was his Breaking Source Needle.
With a fierce pinch of his hands, ten Source Breaking Needles immediately landed in his palm. Subsequently, under Xiao Yan's control, the ten steel needles immediately flew forward. They were as fast as lightning. In an instant, they had already collided with the Water Sky Breaking Needle.
The moment the sharp tip of the needle collided with the tiny blade, the space around the two instantly crumbled. Numerous spiderweb-like cracks appeared out of nowhere, and the entire space became extremely distorted. Soon after, with a bang, it shattered into a pitch-black endless space.
"This is … the Great Way Solidification. You are actually able to achieve the Great Way Solidification!"
Fu Yulong's expression immediately changed when he sensed the special power from the Source Breaking Needle. He could clearly sense that it was the presence of the power of the ways. To no surprise, the strange, black steel needle was a product of the Great Way Solidification. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a weapon to possess the power of the ways.
Since it was the Great Way Solidification, Fu Yulong became even more shocked. With his comprehension of the power of the ways, he could only achieve the Great Way Solidification after breaking through to Returnance. Even though that was the case, it still made him even more arrogant before others. After all, even if he could comprehend the power of the ways, it would still be extremely difficult to use it like an extension of his body. Since he could succeed, it obviously gave him something to be proud of.
However, just from how condensed the ten pitch-black steel needles were, Xiao Yan's control over the Great Way Solidification was extremely proficient. This was not something that could be achieved in a single day, nor was it something that someone who had temporarily reached Returnance with the help of a secret technique could achieve. As a result, Xiao Yan's comprehension of the power of the ways had probably exceeded Fu Yulong's imagination.
"This kid is much more terrifying than I imagined him to be!"
While feeling shocked by Xiao Yan's true battle prowess, Fu Yulong dared not to be careless. He was afraid that the kid would take out something even more terrifying. If that happened, it would truly be a disaster.
Unknowingly, the mid Returnance Fu Yulong began to treat Xiao Yan seriously, as if he was not facing an Origin Transformation kid but a Returnance expert who was no weaker than him.
The frightening fighting strength that Xiao Yan had displayed was already sufficient to cause him to be shocked. It had even reached the point where he had to face Xiao Yan head-on. At this moment, even Fu Yulong's heart appeared to be repeatedly warning himself. If he really dared to treat this black-robed, young man in front of him with an ordinary heart, he would definitely pay an extremely painful price.
The cost of the ten needles was finally enough to break through the barrier. The remaining three steel needles continued towards Fu Yulong with great force. Fu Yulong's eyes immediately narrowed when he saw this. He raised his right hand and twisted his palm. Surging Genesis Qi immediately condensed in his palm, forming a Genesis Qi barrier in an attempt to block the needles.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Fu Yulong's expression changed once again as three clanging sounds rang out. He suddenly felt a piercing pain in his palm, and when he looked over, he was shocked to see that the three needles had pierced straight into the Genesis Qi shield he had condensed in his palm. Even the tips of the needles had pierced into his palm, causing a small piece of flesh to be crushed by the power contained in the needles.
Fu Yulong never imagined that something that had basically been destroyed would be able to injure him. While he was shocked, he also felt anger. He was a mid Returnance expert, yet he had actually suffered at the hands of an Origin Transformation kid time and time again. He had not even managed to defeat the kid even now. This was an utter humiliation.
"Boom!"
Fu Yulong clenched his hand and green veins protruded. A powerful force actually forcefully shattered the three steel needles in his hand. After which, Fu Yulong lifted his pair of extremely icy cold eyes. His gaze stared at Xiao Yan in front of him. A killing intent appeared deep within his eyes.
"Kid, you're the most peculiar person I've ever seen in my life. At the same time, you're also someone I must kill. Today, whether it's to avenge the experts of my Sea Cloud Palace or for other reasons, you must die!"
A low and deep voice was spat out from Fu Yulong's mouth. At the same time, his body suddenly flashed. When the sound of rushing wind appeared, Fu Yulong's body had already appeared in front of Xiao Yan. The broadsword in his hand was waved horizontally. The sharp blade appeared to be about to cut the invisible space into two. The sharp wind blew until one's face felt a little painful despite being a great distance away.
Xiao Yan naturally did not dare to be the slightest bit careless in the face of this ferocious attack of Fu Yulong. He waved the enormous ruler in his hand at the same time as his body pulled back. The 'Heavenly Flame' swiftly covered the ruler's body and lifted the broadsword that was coming at him from below, causing Fu Yulong's attack to miss. Soon after, he flipped his hand and swung it horizontally.
As Xiao Yan's body flipped, he dodged a couple of Fu Yulong's attacks. Finally, both parties raised their weapons and began to collide intensely. Sparks flew and ear-shaking collision sounds repeatedly sounded. The invisible space collapsed repeatedly. However, the stalemate between the two of them did not appear to have an end.
"Bang!"
When the two of them put away their weapons, each of them assumed a fighting stance and fiercely clashed with each other. Bai Hua and the others could only watch from the side with dumbfounded expressions. The extremely fast movements of the two were so fast that even they could not see them clearly.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The heavy collision sounds were like muffled thunder. Wave after wave of turbulent energy ripples continuously swept across the empty space. The battle became more and more intense, causing people to be unable to see clearly. In the end, everyone, including Bai Hua and the rest in the sky, could only hear a series of intense collision sounds. However, they could not see any figures. Occasionally, they could only see two afterimages left behind by the intense collision between the two of them. One could imagine how intense the collision between the two of them was.
"Chi …"
This intense battle continued for nearly four hours. Until a certain moment, the two of them, who were fiercely colliding in the sky, suddenly stopped. The two of them each retreated a hundred feet and faced each other from a distance. Their gazes intertwined and continued to clash in the empty space, as if an invisible battle was taking place.
"Urgh …"
Quickly following this, the two of them paused for over ten seconds before Xiao Yan's flushed face suddenly bent his body. A mouthful of fresh blood was involuntarily spat out from his mouth. His entire face had also turned pale at this moment.
The long battle had ultimately exhausted all of the power in his body. At this moment, there was not much Genesis Qi left in Xiao Yan's body that could be used. His aura was extremely weak, and he no longer had the same domineering attitude as before. Instead, he looked like an arrow at the end of its flight.
"Cough cough cough …"
After Xiao Yan's expression changed, Fu Yulong finally couldn't help coughing violently. A fishy and sweet smell surged up from his throat, and it was only when blood dyed his lips red that he forcefully swallowed it back down.
Although Xiao Yan's condition had become increasingly weak due to the delay of time in the earlier collision, he was still able to cause Fu Yulong to suffer quite a lot of pain by relying on the great strength of his physical body. Not only were more than half of the ribs on his upper body broken, but even the bones on his back had also suffered quite a lot of damage. The joints of his fingers had been forcefully broken. The bones in his left leg had also been shaken and broken because of the head-on collision with Xiao Yan. Even the bones in his head had also suffered varying degrees of damage.
Of course, Xiao Yan was naturally even more miserable than him.
When the Genesis Qi in his body was completely exhausted, he should have been captured by Fu Yulong. But with his powerful physical strength, he managed to break free from Fu Yulong's control, causing him to fall into a seriously injured state.
Xiao Yan, who was seriously injured, and Fu Yulong, whose condition had declined greatly at this moment. This battle could really be described as tragic. It could also be considered a grand battle.
Xiao Yan had used his late Origin Transformation cultivation to fight the mid Returnance expert Fu Yulong to such a state. He had traded his heavy injuries for Fu Yulong's wounds. This was enough to make Xiao Yan feel proud. On the other hand, Fu Yulong was filled with reluctance. He had never imagined that a mere Origin Transformation brat would be able to injure him, a Returnance expert, to such a state.
"Huuu …"
The two remained hovering in the air, but Fu Yulong's condition was clearly better than Xiao Yan's. If they continued fighting, Xiao Yan would definitely not be his opponent.
"Hahaha! Brat, you'll still die by my hands in the end! "
Fu Yulong panted heavily as he slowly circulated his Genesis Qi. His body swayed in the air as he made his way towards Xiao Yan. Since they had already reached such a crucial moment, he would be able to save himself a great deal of trouble if he could land another blow.
However, it was also at this moment that Bai Hua and the people from the Liu family rapidly moved forward. They stood in front of Xiao Yan as they stared at Fu Yulong with eyes filled with killing intent. They rapidly circulated their Dou Qi, ready to attack Fu Yulong at any time under Bai Hua's lead.
Fu Yulong was a Returnance expert after all. His cultivation was far greater than theirs, so even with Bai Hua at the front, they were still uncertain. Even Bai Hua could not guarantee that she could stop Fu Yulong. However, if they were forced to do so, they would definitely fight for Xiao Yan even if it meant risking their lives. They would not hesitate even if their enemy was a Returnance expert.
"You …"
Seeing this group of people suddenly flying over in front of him, Fu Yulong's pale face involuntarily revealed a shocked expression. It was unexpected that they actually dared to intervene for Xiao Yan even after things had already reached this stage. This point did indeed cause people to raise their eyebrows.
At the very least, Fu Yulong had never seen or heard of anyone on the entire continent who would go to such lengths for someone else.
"Hehe, your courage is commendable, but do you really think that you can stop me just like that? The difference in cultivation isn't something that can be easily made up for with numbers. Even if you have twice as many people, you still won't be a match for me! "
He was a Returnance expert after all. His pride gave him the strength and right to say something like that. Of course, if there was someone as terrifying as Xiao Yan in the group, everything would be different. Unfortunately, there was no such person.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
However, it was also at this moment that Fu Yulong, whose victory was in sight, suddenly had a drastic change in expression. His footsteps paused slightly, and then he quickly retreated. At the same time, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at a certain spot in the sky.
The sunlight shone down, causing the people below to raise their heads and look up. Other than a black shadow, they could not see anything else. At this moment, Fu Yulong's face was solemn. His eyes narrowed as his gaze locked onto the figure in the sky. He had long since seen that aura, but what he did not expect was that this fellow would actually appear here.
"Hahaha, Fu Yulong, long time no see. I never thought that you'd reach such a state. Isn't it enough that you've caused trouble for them time and time again for the sake of Azure Sun City? You've actually come personally this time. You've even reduced yourself to such a horrible state for the sake of a city. Is it worth it?"
A laughter that was filled with boldness was transmitted over. When it landed in Fu Yulong's ears, it caused his face to involuntarily turn slightly green. On the other side, Zhong Li and the rest frowned suspiciously when they heard this laughter. They seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. However, they could only hear the voice at this moment. Hence, they were unable to recall the identity of this person for a moment.
"Hmph, since when did you have the right to interrupt me? I'd advise you not to interfere in today's matters, or I don't care if you're an elder of the Alchemist Alliance or not. I won't let you go!"
