"Boom!"
A frightening Dou Qi storm swept forth.
At this moment, the group of Half Martial Emperors in the sky all had grave expressions on their faces as they rapidly retreated ten thousand feet. They stopped and looked at the center of the explosion. The fear in their eyes was not concealed in the slightest. There was still lingering fear in their hearts.
"Dead … is he dead …"
The Half Martial Emperor who spoke earlier revealed a fearful expression as he looked at the center of the explosion. Although the afterglow of the explosion caused the majority of the people to be unable to clearly see the situation within, as a seven star Half Martial Emperor, he was able to vaguely see some things.
With a glance, he saw that the center of the explosion had already turned into an endless void. The frightening energy storm formed a vortex in the void that devoured everything in the world.
Other than a blurry human figure, he was unable to see anything else. Looking at his aura, although he was weak, he was still barely alive. That explosion was unable to forcibly kill him.
"Sigh … it seems that he is really dead … but … why would he self-destruct for a single Li Gan? Someone like him shouldn't do such a stupid thing! "
Another Half Martial Emperor revealed a doubtful and regretful expression in his eyes. His gaze was also looking at the center of the explosion. The bright and resplendent radiance caused one to be unable to directly look at it in the daytime.
"He … he actually self-destructed!"
"Has that Yan Xiao gone mad?! For the sake of killing a single Li Gan, he actually self-destructed. Isn't this equivalent to throwing away his life in vain? "
"Sigh … it's a pity that an exceptional genius would end up dying in such an unwillingly manner. It's truly not worth it!"
… …
Just a moment ago, they had personally witnessed 'Xiao Yan' being defeated by Li Gan after a fierce collision … the gap between a one star Half Martial Emperor and a six star Half Martial Emperor was ultimately too great. As for Xiao Yan, he seemed to have made a final gamble. In his final attack, he directly self-destructed. He wanted to use his own life as the price to kill Li Gan.
Unfortunately, in the end, he was only able to seriously injure Li Gan. He was still far from being able to kill him …
"Cough cough …"
After coughing twice with great difficulty, blood continuously flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His heavy body fell from the sky and violently smashed into the street below.
"Uh …"
At this moment, Li Gan only felt that even breathing was a form of pain. Although he wanted to exhale, the slightest movement of his body would cause his organs to feel a tearing pain, making Li Gan feel extremely pained.
Although the injuries on his body almost took away half of Li Gan's life, when he thought about how Xiao Yan had sacrificed himself to get this, Li Gan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Haha, Yan Xiao, you didn't expect this, did you? You self-destructed your cultivation to kill me, but in the end, it's still a fight to the death, hahahaha! "
Li Gan thought to himself excitedly.
At this moment, everyone in the sky looked at each other with different expressions. Initially, they had thought that they would have a chance to obtain the Void Lightning Pool Invitation. But now, before they could even make a move, Xiao Yan had died first. Wasn't this just a waste of time?
"Swish …"
However, just as everyone was shaking their heads and sighing, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the sky.
This gust of cold wind caused everyone to feel a trace of strangeness. The few Seven Star Half Martial Emperors in the crowd could not help but frown.
Li Gan, who was already seriously injured on the ground, instantly tensed up when he saw the gust of cold wind. This gust of cold wind was the abnormal sign that appeared when Xiao Yan used the Sky Annihilation Steps.
"How is this possible?! He had clearly self-destructed. It's impossible for him to still be alive! But this … this is … "
"Pfff …"
Before Li Gan could react, a black cloaked figure suddenly appeared before his chest. When the figure appeared, it did not stop and ruthlessly stomped on Li Gan's chest. Immediately, blood spurted out like a fountain and stained the black cloak, causing its color to appear even deeper.
"You …"
Li Gan's mouth was blurred. He wanted to say something, but the enormous force that came from his chest interrupted his thoughts. There was no need for him to speak.
"Heh … did you really think that I would be stupid enough to self-destruct with you? Someone like you is not qualified to do that. "
Xiao Yan spoke with an indifferent tone. The gaze with which he looked to Li Gan was filled with disdain.
"You … how did you …"
"How did I not die?"
Xiao Yan sneered. The expression of disdain in his eyes grew even stronger.
"It's very simple. That's because the thing that self-destructed was not my actual body."
After Xiao Yan said those words, Li Gan's eyes immediately narrowed. He immediately came to a realization. No wonder Xiao Yan was only a one star Half Martial Emperor when he fought against him earlier. He had deliberately held back in order to toy with him. Never would he have imagined that the person who ended up being toyed with would be him.
At this moment, the crowd in the sky also discovered Xiao Yan below. Their eyes immediately shined. Never would they have imagined that Xiao Yan was still alive. Since that was the case, it meant that there was still hope for the Void Lightning Reservoir Invitation. No matter what, they would definitely not give up on it so easily.
Xiao Yan raised his head. When he saw the Half Martial Emperors flying toward him, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that they would not give up so easily. However, to him, this was not important. After all, these people would not be able to do anything to him.
Lowering his gaze, Xiao Yan stared at Li Gan. He lowered his body and slowly placed his palm on Li Gan's chest. With a soft smile, he said,
"Let me tell you one thing. The number of seven star Half Martial Emperors that have died by my hands can be counted with one hand."
After Xiao Yan said those words, Li Gan's pupils suddenly shrunk to the size of a needle. At the same time, Xiao Yan's palm trembled slightly and he withdrew it.
At this moment, all of the internal organs and meridians within Li Gan's body, including his heart, were shattered inch by inch. The weak aura coming from Li Gan's nose had also been completely cut off …
In the sky, the two seven star Half Martial Emperors stood motionlessly as they looked at each other. All of Xiao Yan's actions had been seen by them. Naturally, they had also seen all of his methods.
"Ah … let's go. It's better to find someone else. I will not get involved in these muddy waters."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. After that, they left.
After all, they were Half Martial Emperors. Although everyone was different and would always be blinded by greed, there would always be people who were far-sighted. Such people would usually be able to walk further on the path of cultivation than ordinary people.
Xiao Yan shot a glance at the two who had left. A strange expression flashed past his eyes. After that, he turned his gaze back to the group of Half Martial Emperors that had gathered once again.
"Haha, this is truly unexpected. Mister Yan Xiao, although I do not know what sort of methods you possess to be able to deceive all of our eyes, since you are still alive, it will save us some trouble. As long as you hand over the Void Lightning Reservoir Invitation, we will let you go. We will definitely not make things difficult for you."
After these words were spoken, the other Half Martial Emperors nodded in succession. At the same time, they surrounded Xiao Yan in the middle of the crowd, leaving Xiao Yan with no way out.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. His gaze swept across the group of Half Martial Emperors. The corners of his mouth lifted into a cold smile as he said,
"Sure! Just hand it over. After all, there are more of you. "
Even though his words were unpleasant to hear, the crowd did not expect Xiao Yan to actually agree so straightforwardly. From the looks of it, this process would be much easier than they had imagined.
"However …"
Just as the crowd was rejoicing over Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Yan opened his mouth once again and gathered the crowd's gazes onto him.
"There are so many Half Martial Emperors present but I only have one Void Lightning Reservoir Invitation. May I know who I should hand the Void Lightning Reservoir Invitation to?"
How could these Half Martial Emperors not know that Xiao Yan was clearly trying to drive a wedge between them. He wanted them to fight amongst themselves and form their own camps. At that time, no one would have the chance to obtain the Void Lightning Reservoir Invitation from Xiao Yan's hands.
"Hmph! Yan Xiao, there is no need for you to worry about this. As long as you hand over the Void Lightning Reservoir Invitation obediently, we will distribute it. As for you, you can leave on your own! "
"But what if I say no?"
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. His face was filled with a calm expression.
"Yan Xiao! Do you really want us to attack you?! We respect you as the chief alchemist of the Alchemist Association and as the champion of this year's Alchemist Grand Meeting. This is why we are so polite to you. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! "
"Bang!"
A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind and the Northern King immediately appeared. He stood beside Xiao Yan. When his feet landed on the ground, they created a large pit that was several feet deep.
When the Northern King appeared, an overbearing aura suddenly spread out, causing everyone who saw it to reveal a grave expression. The expression of the person who had spoken earlier suddenly changed at this moment. The words that he was about to say were forcefully stuck in his throat.
