Xiao Yan and Lu Dou stood a hundred thousand feet above the Ancient Savage Desolate City. They were able to overlook the entire Ancient Savage Desolate City from this spot. Xiao Yan's heart involuntarily trembled when he saw the outline of the Ancient Savage Desolate City. The Ancient Savage Desolate City was much larger than he had imagined. No wonder so many Ban Di experts were gathered here.
A prosperous place must have treasures. This was a principle that many cultivators understood in their hearts. Half-step Martial Emperors were no exception.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes and exchanged glances with Lu Dou, who was fifty kilometers away. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, appearing as though they were old friends of many years. However, everyone knew just what kind of brutality was hidden under that smile.
With Lu Dou's temperament, once he attacked, he would definitely explode with all the anger he had suffered earlier. If Xiao Yan couldn't withstand it, the consequences wouldn't be hard to imagine.
Compared to the sighs of the crowd outside, Xiao Yan had a calm expression. The corners of his mouth had always carried an indifferent smile. He would deal with whatever came his way. Not to mention, the current Xiao Yan was already able to deal with a seven-star half-step Martial Emperor with ease. Whether he couldn't withstand it or not depended on who it was.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the battleground was exceptionally tense and pressuring. The empty space within a ten-thousand-foot-radius of Xiao Yan and Lu Dou had been completely sealed by the combined attacks of Gu Li and a couple of other high rank Half Martial Emperors. The seal would not be removed before the battle between Xiao Yan and Lu Dou ended. Moreover, the ripple that was formed due to the battle between the two would not spread outwards.
This practice was the rule of the continent. When experts fought, they had to lead the battle circle into the endless void. Only in this way could they ensure that the cities in the outside world would not be destroyed. Just like the previous battles in the void, they were all carried out in the endless void.
Gu Li looked at Xiao Yan with a worried expression. However, after seeing the latter's indifferent expression, Gu Li's expression couldn't help but become serious. He naturally knew Xiao Yan's strength. He was a three-star half-step Martial Emperor. No one could remain calm when facing a seven-star half-step Martial Emperor like Lu Dou with such strength. However, Xiao Yan actually had such an indifferent expression on his face. This was truly strange.
After taking a deep look at Xiao Yan, Gu Li turned his gaze back to Lu Dou. Previously, Lu Dou's appearance when he was furious was all under Gu Li's observation. Now that he was about to fight with Xiao Yan, Gu Li couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy. After thinking for a while, Gu Li's muddy old eyes fixed on Lu Dou. His tone seemed indifferent, but it contained a hidden tyrannical intent.
"Haha, the two of you, please understand that no matter what the outcome of the battle is, you must stop when appropriate. As long as one of you admits defeat, the other party will not continue to attack. If you insist on attacking, don't blame this old man for being ruthless."
Hearing Gu Li's words, Lu Dou's expression couldn't help but change slightly. Gu Li's words were clearly directed at him. However, he sneered in his heart. With Gu Li present, he naturally wouldn't dare to seriously injure Xiao Yan.
Moreover, his current goal was the Void Lightning Pool Invitation. If he attacked too ruthlessly, it would be hard to avoid being ridiculed. With Gu Li's relationship with Xiao Yan, he might interfere. Therefore, for the sake of the Void Lightning Pool Invitation, he wouldn't go too far.
Xiao Yan also smiled slightly after hearing Gu Li's words. He didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Lu Dou opposite him, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose into a playful smile.
"In this way, I won't be able to use my full strength. Very well, let me see how many feet I need to deal with a Seven Star Half Emperor!"
After saying those words, Xiao Yan extended his hand and beckoned. The Dark Heavy Buster Sword landed in his palm. The body of the Buster Sword suddenly shook, and Xiao Yan's Buster Sword slashed towards Lu Dou.
"Flaming Devouring Wave!"
Rainbow light violently shot out, covering more than half of the sky. The surrounding space also exploded at this moment. Facing Xiao Yan's attack, Lu Dou couldn't help but reveal a sneer on his face. His aura wasn't inferior to Xiao Yan's. The ink black broadsword in his hand danced and revolved. As the broadsword slashed downwards, the blade light slashed out and collided head-on with Xiao Yan's Flaming Devouring Wave.
"Bang!"
The broadsword light and the ruler light cancelled each other out. Xiao Yan and Lu Dou simultaneously moved. The broadsword slashed through the air and collided with each other in an instant.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
… …
The two people's attacks were extremely grand. Every time the broadsword and the ruler collided, the heaven and earth would tremble unceasingly. Their terrifying auras still wreaked havoc in this space. In merely a short period of time, the two people had already collided several hundred times. As for the intense battle, it had only just begun.
When the crowd outside saw this, they would definitely think that this was a battle between two experts of the same cultivation level!
At this moment, compared to the astonishment of the crowd outside, Lu Dou was extremely shocked. He originally thought that with his strength as a seven star Half Martial Emperor, he would be able to completely suppress Xiao Yan in a battle like this. However, he didn't expect that every time he collided with Xiao Yan, the power transmitted from Xiao Yan's Buster Sword was actually not the slightest bit inferior to his own. At the same time that he was shocked, he also started to have some doubts about Xiao Yan's true strength.
Was Xiao Yan's strength really as it seemed on the surface? Was he only a three star Half Martial Emperor?
Or could it be that he had used some sort of secret technique to conceal his strength?!
However, regardless of what level Xiao Yan's true cultivation level was, at the very least, the Xiao Yan before him was not someone that he could easily deal with. Fighting against Xiao Yan was also not as easy as he had imagined.
At this moment, Lu Dou had truly started to become serious about Xiao Yan. If he wanted to defeat Xiao Yan, he would have to reveal his true strength. Otherwise, it would likely be extremely difficult for him to defeat Xiao Yan.
"Haa!"
With a stern shout, Lu Dou suddenly waved the broadsword in his hand. The Dou Qi within his body rapidly gathered. A bit of scarlet Dou Qi appeared on the pitch-black broadsword. Immediately after, the broadsword trembled and once again charged explosively toward Xiao Yan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered with radiance. The Buster Sword in his hand also stopped moving.
"Hmph, you're finally going to use your true strength. I can't wait any longer!"
With a sneer, Xiao Yan's right hand grasped the handle of the Buster Sword. Suddenly, he pulled with all his strength. His left palm stroked the body of the Buster Sword. The Heavenly Flame violently surged in the center of his palm. The pitch-black Buster Sword was immediately dyed with a gorgeous color.
"Haa!"
With a stern shout, the Buster Sword was placed diagonally behind his back. Slightly nodding his head, Xiao Yan raised his gaze and stared at Lu Dou. His left foot took half a step forward. His body was slightly bent. His palm tightly grasped the handle of the Buster Sword. The Dou Qi within his body was crazily poured into the Buster Sword as if it was free.
At this moment, the gorgeous Heavenly Flame fiercely rose up. It was like a gorgeous flag that was fluttering in the air.
For a moment, the void was strangely silent. A strange atmosphere enveloped the world. Everyone was silent. Their eyes were suffused with a dignified radiance. Their gazes were firmly fixed on Xiao Yan's Buster Sword and the broadsword in Lu Dou's hand, who was standing opposite of Xiao Yan.
Silence.
Deathly silence.
Everyone held their breaths as they waited. Even the slightest sound of breathing was enough to be heard clearly.
It was a long while later when this silence was finally broken by a somewhat hoarse, ice-cold voice that did not contain the slightest emotion.
"This blade of the old me is created by gathering all the comprehension that I have comprehended throughout my life. I call it … Garrison!"
'Garrison.'
It was a simple word. However, the instant it was uttered, it caused the entire place to tremble.
Once a blade technique was trained to the 'Unity of Heaven and Man' level, it was unable to progress any further. Hence, this blade technique that Lu Dou had trained could be considered a kind of memorial to the broadsword in his hand. One could imagine the strength of this blade technique.
Lu Dou was able to reach his current level because of his reputation. Even though Xiao Yan was not weak, he similarly had his own pride.
The pride of being a strong person!
"Yan Xiao, if you are able to receive it, the old me is willing to be defeated!"
