"Boom!"
The majestic ruler light stood between the heavens and the earth, forcefully cleaving the incoming spear in half. The Genesis Qi that the four had fused naturally collapsed at that moment.
It was just as Xiao Yan had said before. Even if their Genesis Qi could fuse and unleash an even greater power, it was not a power that belonged to them individually. In the end, it was still an unorthodox method. It would be enough against regular Returnance experts, but to Xiao Yan, who possessed a Heavenly Flame, this Dou Skill would not even be able to unleash half of its power.
There were indeed many reasons why the four elders of the eastern valley had been defeated so easily. The most important reason was that they had encountered an opponent they should not have encountered, or in other words, they should not have picked a time like this to make trouble for Lan Ye.
Xiao Yan did not stop at all after defeating their combined attack in a single strike. He immediately used the Heaven's Extinction Steps and flashed forward. Before the four of them could even react, Xiao Yan's flaming ruler had smashed into them one after another.
Bang bang bang bang!
With four heavy sounds of collisions, the four of them were immediately sent flying. Without any surprise, they did not even have the chance to respond. They had already lost their original battle prowess.
Pfft!
It was unknown if it was because Xiao Yan's attack was too fast or if it was because these four people really had a great understanding of each other. Even their actions and sounds of vomiting blood were almost perfectly identical. Unfortunately, even if this was the case, they were still defeated. It could be said that they were easily defeated.
The four of them who were supposed to be on par with Returnance experts had been defeated by Xiao Yan just like that. Even if they did not die today, this matter would probably leave them with permanent injuries.
The four of them were ghastly pale. Blood was still spurting from their throats, but they no longer had the strength to spit out the suffocating blood.
"You dare claim to be on par with Returnance experts with such strength? Aren't you overestimating yourselves? "
Xiao Yan let out a cold cry and shook his head gently. His body flashed and after leaving behind a couple of afterimages in the sky, his footsteps had already paused in front of the four of them. His hand held an enormous ruler and was just about to send them on their way when a sharp rushing wind sound was suddenly transmitted into his ears.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yan frowned. He turned around and swung his ruler without even thinking about it. A powerful force immediately erupted as flames shot out. The puppet behind him was also sent flying by Xiao Yan's ruler. The terrifying flames had even melted a shallow hole in the puppet's chest.
When Xiao Yan turned around, he discovered that the four people behind him had already been supported by the other three puppets. They had retreated to a location several hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
When Xiao Yan looked at Luo Jin's group, they were fine. However, he had never thought that the puppets would return so quickly. They had been in the middle of an intense battle earlier.
On the other hand, Lan Ye's mental state had been disturbed by Xiao Yan. He had been bombarded by the two puppets. Although he was not heavily injured, he was still gasping for breath. His body was covered in wounds as well. This was not how a late Returnance expert should be like.
However, Xiao Yan had no idea that if it were not for the fact that Lan Ye had been paying close attention to Xiao Yan and Fang Zhicong, he would not have ended up like this.
The puppet that Xiao Yan had taken out in his hand had given him quite a great shock!
Since the three puppets had already returned to their side, it was naturally impossible for Xiao Yan to kill these four people. Immediately, Xiao Yan helplessly gave up the thought of continuing to chase and kill them. In any case, they were merely four unworthy fellows. He only had some confidence by relying on the puppets. If they were to meet him in the future, it was likely that they could only take a detour.
The four elders of the eastern cove were no longer a concern.
However …
"Boom!"
When the puppet was about to be summoned back, Xiao Yan suddenly flipped in the air. His foot heavily stepped on the back of the puppet, forcefully pushing the galloping puppet into the ground. The powerful force instantly caused the ground to crack apart. Numerous enormous crack lines swiftly spread like a spiderweb. Xiao Yan's foot had forcefully stepped into the back of the puppet until it was more than an inch deep. It was precisely because of this that he was able to ensure that the puppet was unable to escape from Xiao Yan's strength.
"You-"
"If you want to live, piss off immediately. Otherwise, let alone the puppet, you might as well stay behind as well!"
One of the four people was just about to furiously cry out when he was blocked by a single sentence from Xiao Yan. At the same time, the other three people also looked at Xiao Yan with great horror. They hurriedly stopped the former's action. Although their hearts were extremely unwilling, they still swiftly fled this place under the protection of the puppet.
Seeing that the four elders of the Eastern Valley had left, the puppet under Xiao Yan's feet seemed to be struggling even more intensely. This time around, Xiao Yan did not have any thoughts of taking pity on it. He suddenly waved the huge fire ruler in his hand. The moment the huge ruler tore through the air, it also forcefully blasted apart the puppet's head. In an instant, the puppet no longer moved.
Although these puppets were somewhat capable, once they were out of human control, it was not difficult to get rid of them.
After finishing off the puppet, Xiao Yan finally turned his gaze back to Lan Ye. The others were naturally fine. On the other hand, the strongest person in this group had actually been turned into such a state by the two puppets. This really caused Xiao Yan to be somewhat surprised.
"Master Lan, are you alright?"
As he approached, Xiao Yan casually took out an elixir from his storage ring. After Lan Ye received the elixir, he did not immediately swallow it. Instead, after a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the elixir.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yan, for the elixir."
Lan Ye sensed the warm medicinal strength beginning to spread throughout his body and swiftly heal the injuries on his body. Only then did he gradually relax. He thanked Xiao Yan but his eyes did not meet Xiao Yan's gaze from the beginning to the end.
Xiao Yan could not help but feel somewhat suspicious, but he did not understand what had happened. He only vaguely felt that Lan Ye's attitude towards him seemed to have changed slightly.
Although Xiao Yan felt some doubt in his heart, he did not think too much about it. He recalled the puppet that he had just released and inquired about the situation of Luo Jin and the rest. After confirming that they were fine, he sat down by the side and began to recover the Genesis Qi that he had exhausted in the battle earlier.
While refining the elixir in his body, Lan Ye involuntarily glanced at Xiao Yan from the corner of his eye. His gaze carefully swept over Luo Jin and the others, and when he looked at Zhou Tai, the suspicion in his heart grew even stronger.
Recalling his chance encounter with Xiao Yan where the latter had taken the initiative to expel the poison from Fang Zhicong's body and the earlier incident where Xiao Yan had used his own strength to suppress the four old men of the Eastern Valley who had been famous for a long time, Lan Ye's mind unconsciously connected all of these together …
