The fire seal between Xiao Yan's brows flickered in front of Hei Mu's eyes. Soon after, a faint dense white light cluster slowly drifted out. It gradually transformed beside Xiao Yan's body and transformed into a white-robed old man. It was Gu You.
When Gu You left Xiao Yan's body, the unconscious Xiao Yan's body softened and fell into the empty space …
Gu You appeared to have expected this. A thought passed through his mind and his sleeves fluttered. An invisible force swept out and supported Xiao Yan's body in the empty space.
Hei Mu, who had been staring at Gu You, flashed the moment Gu You appeared. He left behind an afterimage on the spot and charged toward Xiao Yan, who was lying in the empty space.
From the way Hei Mu saw it, since this old fellow beside him had hidden in Xiao Yan's body without harming him, it meant that the relationship between the two of them was not simple. As long as he could control Xiao Yan, he would be able to force Gu You to hold back.
Although Hei Mu's strength was clearly inferior to Gu You's, Hei Mu was confident that he could capture Xiao Yan the moment Gu You left Xiao Yan's body.
Although a thousand feet was quite a long distance, it was covered in the blink of an eye for these Ban Di experts.
At the same time that Hei Mu's body disappeared, the empty space beside Xiao Yan's body suddenly distorted intensely. Hei Mu's body instantly appeared.
At the same time that Hei Mu appeared, his movements did not pause even a little. His shriveled hand curled into a claw and swiftly grabbed at Xiao Yan's neck.
All of this might seem long, but it happened in a split second.
It was only at this moment that Gu You finally revealed himself …
However, Hei Mu's hand claw was already less than an inch away from Xiao Yan's neck …
Given this distance and Hei Mu's speed, even an elite Dou Di would not be able to react in time …
From the looks of it, Xiao Yan was bound to fall into Hei Mu's hands.
However, even at this moment, Gu You, who had already reacted, remained unmoved. It was as though his heart was filled with despair. He stood in the same spot without moving …
Hei Mu involuntarily frowned when he saw that Gu You did not move from the corner of his eyes. His heart felt strange.
Given Gu You's strength, he should have already reacted to Hei Mu's actions. Even if he knew that Xiao Yan would still end up in his hands, he should not have simply waited for death. However, Hei Mu was confused by Gu You's actions.
However, in the next moment, just as Hei Mu's fingertips touched Xiao Yan's collar, Xiao Yan's body, which was being supported in the air, suddenly went limp and fell toward the endless void below.
"Huh?!"
When he saw this scene, Hei Mu's eyes suddenly shrunk. The expression in his eyes changed and he swiftly reacted in his heart. His body in the air forcefully twisted as he flipped his hand and violently threw a palm strike at the empty space behind him.
"Bang!"
The empty space in front of him suddenly exploded the moment his palm was thrown forward. A shriveled hand was extended from nowhere and violently collided with Hei Mu's palm.
When the two palms collided, the expected evenly matched strength did not appear. Instead, the instant the black wood came into contact with the palm, the force in the palm was forcefully destroyed by an even more domineering force as if it was breaking rotten wood.
Hei Mu's body swiftly fell toward the empty space below as fresh blood was spat out from his mouth. Coincidentally, Xiao Yan was also falling below him …
The fresh blood that Hei Mu spat out turned into a blood arrow that ruthlessly shot toward the empty space on the other side.
However, a cluster of dense-white Heavenly Flame emitted a 'puff' sound and appeared in the air when the blood arrow was formed. It instantly incinerated the blood arrow into nothingness.
However, it was also at this moment that the falling Hei Mu had once again appeared above Xiao Yan's head …
The corners of Hei Mu's mouth carried an evil smile. His eyes stared at the already unconscious Xiao Yan in front of him as if he wanted to devour a person. He extended his hand and it landed on Xiao Yan's face, intending to control Xiao Yan in his hand.
However, just as Hei Mu's hand was about to grab Xiao Yan, a dense-white Heavenly Flame rose from the surface of Xiao Yan's body with a 'puff' sound. It enveloped Xiao Yan's entire body within it. Hei Mu's hand then violently pressed against the Heavenly Flame.
"Sizzle sizzle …"
Instantly, a 'sizzling' sound that was similar to being barbecued was emitted from within. Accompanying the sound was a faint smell of burnt meat …
Hei Mu's face, which was still wearing an evil smile a second ago, suddenly became distorted a second later. His entire face appeared to have been violently ravaged. It was twisted into a ball, giving him a frightening appearance.
After a hissing pain, Hei Mu forcefully withdrew his hand. The Dou Qi in his body crazily surged out of his body. After a few fierce attacks, he finally extinguished the 'Bone Chilling Flame' that was still stuck to his hand.
At a closer look, his hand, which was originally only skin and bones, had become a bloody mess at this moment. If one were to carefully observe, one could roughly see the dense-white bones under the skin …
There were a couple of thumb-sized bloody holes in his palm. At a glance, one would involuntarily feel a chill on one's back.
Hei Mu forcefully endured the heart-wrenching pain from his palm. An extremely furious and cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He turned his gaze and instantly stared at Gu You, who had already appeared in the void. He immediately reprimanded angrily, "What are you doing here?
"Hmph! What a fellow who hides his head and shows his tail. It is unexpected that a dignified Dou Di like you is actually so despicable! "
A cold glint flashed across Gu You's dense-white eyes when he heard this. His mouth emitted a disdainful cold laugh as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Ha ha … in terms of despicableness, I am really not even one-thousandth of you. A mere Ban Di actually dares to shamelessly boast about being despicable in front of the old me. Do I even need to use any tactics to deal with you?"
Gu You waved his sleeve after uttering those words. Immediately, a large cluster of Bone Chilling Flame swiftly spread from the empty space under his feet, spreading over a large area.
Hei Mu's expression involuntarily changed when he saw this attack. His body, which was standing in the empty space, suddenly withdrew by five hundred kilometres. Only after he withdrew from the area covered by the Bone Chilling Flame did he look at Gu You with a frightened face. Both of his eyes were filled with an incomparably grave expression. It was a long while later before his mouth finally spoke with great difficulty.
"You … you are the owner of the Bone Chilling Flame?"
Only at this moment did Hei Mu completely understand that this old man in front of him was likely the owner of the trace of aura that he had sensed earlier!
Did this not mean that the strength of this old fellow, who had entered Xiao Yan's body, was at the very least an expert at the Origin State?
Gu You merely laughed coldly when he heard the words from Hei Mu's mouth. He was noncommittal as he slowly lifted his shriveled hand. He extended his index finger and gently pressed it on the empty space in front of him. His mouth spoke at the same time.
"Seal!"
As soon as he gave the order, white flame pillars appeared out of thin air within a thousand feet of Hei Mu in this space.
Hundreds of light pillars were connected. Within a couple of breaths, they formed a Heavenly Flame cage that trapped Hei Mu within it.
