Xiao Yan's face was indifferent as he slowly released his hand in the empty sky. The skinny old man, whose life force had already disappeared, had lost all control of his body. Following the gravitational force, he was just like a meteor as he violently fell.
The skinny old man had died. Only at this moment did the surrounding people recover with panicked expressions. However, when they focused their eyes, they realized that there was a human figure standing behind each of them.
"Xuan … Elder Xuan!"
"Gu Li!"
"Chi Lin!"
The few of them exclaimed in unison. There was no need to describe the horror within their words. A great storm had been set off in their hearts.
They could not understand how Xiao Yan's group knew that they had attacked Qin Zhong at the outermost area of the Gray Mountain Range.
Although the Spiritual Perception of the few people present was extremely frightening, Xiao Yan's attention was currently focused on Mu Han and the others. Additionally, there was the existence of the Dou Di's pressure in the Gray Mountain Range. How could they have the leisure to spread their Spiritual Strength and investigate the big battle around them?
If one were to say that someone had informed them, the few people present would not believe it. One of the biggest reasons why they dared to touch Qin Zhong in this place was that no one had passed by this place. Since no one had seen it, Xiao Yan did not investigate. How did he know about it?
"Old Gu, thank you very much."
Xiao Yan could not be bothered with the shocked expressions of the few five star Ban Emperors in front of him. All he did was softly thank Gu You in his heart.
"Ha ha, there is no need to thank the old me. I was merely bored for a moment. Moreover, I saw that this little fellow is not bad. Hence, I wanted to save him. I merely asked you to act on my behalf. Ha ha."
Gu You laughed and agreed to Xiao Yan's thanks. Xiao Yan laughed softly. This was indeed true. Compared to him, Gu You, who was in his body, was much more relaxed. However, it was also because of this that he was able to save Qin Zhong's life.
Xiao Yan laughed softly in his heart. After which, he did not say anything else. He lifted his eyes. The gentleness from a moment ago was no longer present in his eyes.
Xiao Yan's bone chilling gaze slowly swept across the remaining four people. When the four Half-Emperors met Xiao Yan's gaze, their bodies involuntarily shivered.
Although Xiao Yan's strength appeared to be only that of a peak three star Half Martial Emperor, everyone knew that his actual strength was not only that.
The four of them trembled as they turned their gazes with great difficulty. They looked at Gu Li and the others behind them. Immediately, they looked at each other and felt a chill in their hearts. They had no chance of winning against the few people behind them. Once Gu Li and the others attacked, they would end up like Xue She.
The eyes of the four involuntarily fell on Qin Zhong. He was the weakest person present. As long as they could control him, they believed that Xiao Yan and the others would be forced to stop.
"Swish …"
Among the four of them, the only Five Star Half Martial Emperor that was not confronting anyone suddenly moved. Like a bolt of lightning, he instantly grabbed at Qin Zhong.
At the same time, the other three quickly turned around. They wanted to delay the people behind them.
The encouraging monk slightly frowned. He immediately released his aura of an eight star Half Martial Emperor. His terrifying aura was like Mount Tai pressing down on the three of them.
At this moment, the remaining Half Martial Emperor had already arrived before Qin Zhong. An extremely cruel smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth. His eagle claw-like hand ferociously grabbed at Qin Zhong's neck.
Qin Zhong's expression abruptly changed. The speed of the old man before him greatly surpassed his own. Although he wanted to dodge, the difference in strength between the two of them was too enormous. Qin Zhong was already firmly locked onto by the old man. It was simply impossible for him to dodge.
"Damn it! Truly despicable! "
Seeing that the eagle claw-like hand was about to descend upon him, Qin Zhong prepared to fight with his life on the line. However, right at this moment, the sound of wind whistling resounded in this world …
A chilly wind blew past, causing the old man's neck to suddenly feel cold. Before he could react, an ice-cold voice that did not contain the slightest bit of emotion faintly sounded in his ears.
"You dare to play with speed before me? Are you even qualified …"
Right after those words left his mouth, a Heavenly Flame gushed out from Xiao Yan's palm. The body of the old man beneath his palm rapidly became like a piece of burning charcoal. After that, it turned into specks of ash and completely disappeared from this world.
When the other three saw this move of Xiao Yan's, they immediately felt incomparably terrified. They never imagined that Xiao Yan's methods were actually this terrifying.
Elder Xuan looked at the red faced and frightened old man before him. The corners of his mouth rose into a pitiful smile. He said with a smile, "Rejoice.
Rejoice. Rejoice that you all did not encounter him and instead encountered us. Even we find it difficult to imagine how terrifying he is … "
Right after Elder Xuan said those words, the auras of the three eight star Half Martial Emperors suddenly trembled. Frightening power immediately poured out. The figure before them also fell down.
"Old Brother Qin, are you alright?"
Qin Zhong had a bitter smile on his face as he shook his head. He frowned as he looked at Xiao Yan. With a worried expression, he bitterly sighed and said,
"I'm fine. However, Yan Xiao, you … you're going to face a nine star Half Martial Emperor this time around!"
Xiao Yan smiled. He lightly patted Qin Zhong's shoulder and said with an indifferent expression, "Old Brother Qin, don't worry.
Nothing will happen. Although Mu Han is a nine star Half Martial Emperor and I am indeed no match for him, I am still quite confident in my ability to escape. "
Hearing what Xiao Yan said, Qin Zhong involuntarily recalled Xiao Yan's frightening speed. From the moment of imminent peril earlier, Xiao Yan's speed was likely even more frightening than before.
"Sigh …"
Although Qin Zhong was slightly relieved in his heart, he still sighed helplessly and said, "What a pity.
It's a pity that this old man's strength is insufficient. After cultivating for so many years, I am still only a three star Half Martial Emperor. I am unable to help you like these people. In this battle, I … "
Qin Zhong wanted to express his good intentions. However, in the end, he shook his head helplessly. Unfortunately, his strength was limited. Although he wanted to help, he was powerless. It was like what that crimson snake had said earlier. With his current strength, even if he were to go, he would only be an additional burden.
Seeing the helpless expression on Qin Zhong's face, Xiao Yan lightly smiled. He took a glance at Elder Xuan and the other two who had arrived before him. Then, Xiao Yan turned to Qin Zhong and said with a smile, "Old Brother Qin, don't say this.
"Old brother Qin, there is no need for you to act like this. If you truly wish to help me, I can only wish that you will be able to break through to four star Half Martial Emperor in this trip to the Lightning Pool. At that time, I have another matter that I wish to ask old brother Qin for. Haha …"
Qin Zhong slightly raised his eyebrows. He could not help but feel a trace of suspicion in his heart. However, when he saw Xiao Yan's confident expression, Qin Zhong's face immediately revealed a smile. He heavily nodded and said, "Old Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry.
I, Qin Zhong, have prepared for this day for a long time. As long as I am able to enter the Lightning Pool, this old man will definitely be able to break through to a four star Half Martial Emperor! "
"Haha, then I wish Old Brother Qin success!"
Xiao Yan, Gu Li and the other two cupped their hands and smiled at Qin Zhong. After which, the few of them did not linger any longer. Their bodies moved and they once again flew towards Gray Mountain.
… …
When the few of them returned to Gray Mountain, a large number of Half Martial Emperors had already gathered there. At this moment, there were already a dozen or so battles going on in the vicinity of Gray Mountain. Those people were still fighting over the Lightning Posts.
As the time for the opening of the Lightning Pool in the Void approached, the battles on the battlefield became even more intense. The sounds of Dou Skills exploding in the sky were like waves of thunder, causing the cultivators at the foot of Gray Mountain to involuntarily feel alarmed.
When the crowd saw that Xiao Yan and the others, who had left earlier, had returned with Qin Zhong, who was covered in injuries, they immediately understood the reason why Xiao Yan had left. They could not help but sigh in admiration for Xiao Yan's righteousness. At the same time, they also felt a trace of envy for Qin Zhong.
Xiao Yan's gaze was focused on the increasing number of Half Martial Emperors in the surroundings. At the same time, he also saw that Mu Han and the others had already stood up. They were quietly standing where they were, waiting for the opening of the Lightning Pool in the Void.
Xiao Yan's gaze was fixed on Mu Han. At this moment, the latter's complexion was somewhat pale. However, it appeared that he was not seriously injured. This caused Xiao Yan to feel a trace of pity. He had hoped that something would happen to this nine star Half Martial Emperor.
Noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, Mu Han also turned his head around. His face was filled with disdain as he revealed a cold smile. After which, he turned his head back and no longer paid any attention to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled indifferently. He raised his head and looked at the black thunderclouds in the sky above the mountain peak that were becoming denser.
"Rumble …"
At a certain moment, a rumbling sound that everyone had been waiting for was finally emitted from the churning thunderclouds. Immediately, the churning thunderclouds in the sky above the mountain peak became even more intense. A long while later, under everyone's gazes, a crack that seemed to be dispelling the clouds and revealing the sun slowly spread open within the thunderclouds.
Lightning Pool in the Void, open!
