The weakness that was emitted from all parts of his body caused Xiao Yan to nearly faint within this dark and narrow space. He had completely squeezed out all of his strength a couple of times, causing his physical body to descend into an extremely weak state.
The muscles all over Xiao Yan's body had become unusually sore and painful. Waves of numb and powerless feeling swept over his entire body. The piercing pain that was like being stabbed by needles caused Xiao Yan to descend into a semi-unconscious state. His Spiritual Strength, which had nearly dried up, caused Xiao Yan's body and soul to have an extremely empty feeling.
At this moment, even the most basic breathing of Xiao Yan appeared to be extremely weak. His weak aura was like a thread that was intermittent …
"Is … this really all …"
An unwilling sorrowful sigh was emitted from the bottom of Xiao Yan's soul. The thread of struggle in the deepest part of Xiao Yan's soul also slowly disappeared. His paper white face was completely void of blood. A thread of crystal clear water droplet followed Xiao Yan's icy cold face and slowly rolled down …
… …
A palm-sized densely white flame surfaced within the vortex within Xiao Yan's body while a faint icy aura was being emitted from Xiao Yan's body. It instantly wiped away the cold aura from his body.
"Brat, it is unexpected that the old me is still needed to intervene. However, it is also true that with your current strength and mental strength, it is really difficult for you to put up any psychological resistance. However, from the looks of it, that fellow is also extremely afraid of you. Otherwise, it would not have been as simple as just intimidating you …"
Gu You's somewhat hoarse elderly voice was slowly emitted from Xiao Yan's body after the dark and cold aura within Xiao Yan's body swiftly withdrew.
… …
Within the dusky space, the dark green vines emitted a little fluorescent light, causing the originally pitch-black space to have some light. Within it, a huge vine ball was exceptionally eye-catching.
Suddenly, the originally flat space began to distort. Circular ripples began to quietly spread out, and an elderly figure in plain clothes slowly appeared …
It was Gu You.
Gu You randomly glanced at the large vine ball in front of him. His old eyes slowly swept over the dark-green vine. A densely white flame flashed across his eyes.
Gu You softly snorted. A thought passed through his mind and a densely white flame suddenly appeared in the space in front of him. The extremely frightening temperature caused the space to suddenly explode, revealing an endless empty space.
The moment the dense white flame appeared, the enormous vine ball also exploded into nothingness with a bang. Xiao Yan, who was within it, also felt his body become weak as he fell from the sky.
"Ugh … brat, you are really troublesome …"
Gu You curled his mouth. He waved his large sleeve and an invisible gentle force rose from nowhere. It firmly supported Xiao Yan's body.
Soon after, Gu You helplessly sighed. His finger gently pressed on Xiao Yan's brow. A thought passed through his mind and the Heavenly Flame within Xiao Yan's body began to quietly circulate. From the looks of the circulation route, it was the route of the Flame Art Qi Method.
Given Gu You's experience, he would naturally not do something as foolish as using his own Dou Qi to replenish Xiao Yan. That method might be quick, but it was not one that relied on one's own body to refine and absorb the energy obtained. It would more or less cause damage to one's body …
Moreover, Xiao Yan had already experienced this method of forceful recovery twice. If he were to use it again, given Xiao Yan's current condition, it was likely that there would be repercussions. Forget about Xiao Yan, even Gu You could not accept this.
… …
Following the slow circulation of the Flame Mantra Qi Method in his body, threads of tiny natural energy slowly gathered from empty space within this somewhat narrow space. With a flash, they entered Xiao Yan's body. Following the circulation of the Flame Mantra Qi Method, they were refined by the 'Heavenly Flame' into threads of pure Dou Qi that entered the vortex.
A thread of a faint sleek redness was gradually smeared on Xiao Yan's pale face at this moment. His nearly severed breathing also gradually recovered its calmness …
… …
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the walls of this ancient city, the emotions that countless people had suppressed for an entire night finally erupted like wild horses that had escaped their reins …
Many human figures of various colors swiftly flew toward the empty square in the city, which had been split into two, in an attempt to occupy a good spot.
After all, today's competition was extraordinarily grand. The many sharp and overbearing scenes from yesterday were still incomparably clearly imprinted in everyone's minds …
Currently, this empty square, which had been split into two, caused everyone to remember the frightening strength of the black-robed, young man in their hearts.
Of course, while everyone was shocked by the strength of the black robed young man, they did not forget that this frighteningly powerful young Half-martial Emperor's alchemy skills were not the slightest bit inferior to those alchemist grandmasters who specialized in alchemy.
Rather than saying that they were here to watch the alchemist competition between these two high grade alchemists, it was better to say that they were here to watch Xiao Yan's performance.
Xiao Yan's might had already intimidated a countless number of people present. Even Mo Di, who had been famous for a long time, had now ended up with a cold laugh in the mouths of the crowd.
"Hee hee, this old fellow is really thick-skinned. He is already someone who has half a foot in the grave, yet he still wants to bully the young to win against elder Yan Xiao. Elder Yan Xiao's alchemist talent is not something that you can compare with."
"Tch, he has specialized in alchemy for his entire life and has only become a rank two alchemist at his old age. Compared to elder Yan Xiao, who is a rank two alchemist at such a young age, there is a distance that even eight horses cannot catch up to. What a useless person."
… …
Mo Di, who was standing in the air, heard the increasingly heated cold laughter and disdainful words from the surrounding viewing gallery. The wrinkled skin on his face trembled intensely. The veins on his hands under his sleeves had also protruded. The Dou Qi within his body had also involuntarily begun to circulate. It was like a snake's tongue that was repeatedly extended and extended between his fingers.
A pair of eyes that contained killing intent slowly swept over the entire place. Threads of dangerous aura were just like numerous densely cold steel knives that were pressed against the throats of everyone. This caused the mocking expressions on everyone's faces to swiftly withdraw.
Perhaps this Mo Di was indeed extremely lacking compared to Xiao Yan. However, he was still a frightening existence that ordinary experts like them had no way of contending with. The hearts of everyone present involuntarily trembled when they sensed this icy-cold gaze of Mo Di. They hurriedly shut their mouths.
In merely a breath's time, the ridicule and disdain from a moment ago had been swiftly covered in this large open ground. The lively open ground had also gradually become quiet.
At this moment, a circular water-like ripple suddenly spread out from the calm empty space in the middle of the open ground. The appearance of this scene immediately attracted the gazes of quite a number of people.
As this spatial ripple became increasingly intense, an enormous floating stone platform tore through the empty space and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The enormous size of the stone platform caused nearly one-third of this large open ground to be covered by it at this moment.
Everyone on the stage looked at this small open ground. Their faces were filled with surprise. In the next moment, a familiar elderly voice slowly spread from the stone platform.
"Ke ke, I have made everyone wait for a long time. Due to some small interlude yesterday, there are some things that I have no choice but to settle. However, everyone can rest assured that the Alchemist Grand Meeting today will definitely not disappoint everyone!"
The old man who spoke was naturally the chairman of the Alchemist Association, Gu Li.
As Gu Li's words rang out, the square, which had just become silent, immediately became noisy once again. As for Mo Di's gloomy and murderous expression, everyone directly ignored him. After all, with an even more frightening expert like Gu Li present, he, Mo Di, did not have the guts to stir up any trouble.
The corners of Gu Li's mouth revealed a satisfied smile when he saw the open ground once again. Gu Li swept a glance at Mo Di, who was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Gu Li laughed coldly. Soon after, his gaze once again returned to the entire open ground.
His skinny and large hand gently pressed down on the empty space in front of him. A faint pressure spread, causing countless people in the open ground to involuntarily turn their gazes towards Gu Li.
Gu Li laughed out loud when he sensed the numerous gazes that were shot towards him. His gaze swept across the entire place. Under the numerous excited gazes, he slowly opened his mouth and laughed.
"Everyone, today is the finals of this year's Alchemist Grand Meeting. Of course, it is also the most exciting competition in the history of our Alchemist Association. This is because the two alchemists who will appear this time around are both high rank alchemists. This will be a true fight between the peak!"
"Clamor!"
Gu Li's sonorous and powerful words had just sounded when the entire open ground turned into an uproar at this moment. Wave after wave of intense cries resounded across the nine heavens, causing the entire place to tremble slightly.
The smile on Gu Li's old face became even more brilliant when he sensed the increasingly lively atmosphere around him. His gaze immediately swept over the entire place …
Gu Li's deep gaze paused on Mo Di for a moment. However, he seemed to have recalled something. That new chief alchemist of the Alchemist Association had yet to show himself.
Gu Li's heart carried some unknown emotions. His old eyes narrowed slightly. His sharp gaze slowly swept across the entire place. Finally, it paused on the empty judges' seats.
Gu Li's pupils suddenly shrunk. The expression on his old face also gradually stiffened. An uneasy feeling slowly surfaced within his heart …
"This fellow, why is he not coming again …"
After being stunned for a moment, the muscles on the corner of Gu Li's mouth twitched. He muttered in his heart with a bitter smile. However, deep within his heart, there was something different from the last time. This time around, he felt extremely uneasy …
At this moment, an unusual change once again occurred in the enormous open ground …
An enormous spatial whirlpool appeared out of nowhere in the vast empty space. Threads of frightening spatial energy caused the expressions of everyone present to instantly become extremely terrified. The aura within was sufficient to swallow the entire Savage Ancient City in one gulp. Even an eight star Half Martial Emperor like Gu Li was absolutely unable to contend against it.
Under everyone's alarmed gazes, the frightening whirlpool split apart and formed a large doorway. A pitch-black endless empty space was exposed in front of everyone's eyes. Soon after, the space fluctuated intensely and an old human figure slowly stepped out from within.
At this moment, the expressions of all the Half Martial Emperors present suddenly changed. The gazes with which they looked at the old man were filled with astonishment.
