While the four old men reached an agreement with the hall chief, the atmosphere between Xiao Yan's and Mu Han's parties within the lightning pool in the empty realm had become increasingly tense.
Xiao Yan's group and Mu Han's group were separated into two sides in the vast Lightning Pool. The atmosphere was extremely stifling and oppressive.
The invisible aura caused the continuously flowing thunderbolts to only be able to fly about a thousand feet away from both parties. They continued to wander about, but ultimately did not dare to enter the boundary of the aura.
From afar, countless silver lightning bolts surrounded the entire battlefield like a huge sphere. Lightning flashed, and in an instant, a bright moon appeared in the lightning pool.
The space within the formless aura was surrounded by lightning, forming a circular battlefield. If one were to look at it from the outside, one would not be able to see the situation within.
The situation here had naturally alarmed the other Half-martial Emperors who had entered the Lightning Pool. In addition, the gathering of lightning was undoubtedly a great gift for them, who urgently needed lightning energy to cultivate.
In a short moment, nearly ten Half-martial Emperors had gathered outside the aura. In addition to Xiao Yan's group, all the Half-martial Emperors present accounted for two-thirds of the total number of people who had entered the Lightning Pool.
Through the layers of lightning, the Half-martial Emperors who had been attracted to the scene immediately saw the situation.
When they saw that Xiao Yan's group was about to fight against a large number of people, these Half-martial Emperors could not help but feel a sense of seriousness for the three of them. Putting aside the number of people on both sides, just Mu Han alone was enough to suppress Gu Li and Chi Lin. From the looks of it, Xiao Yan's battle had already ended before it had even begun.
When these Half-martial Emperors heard that Xiao Yan's group had actually taken the initiative to fight against Mo Di's group, they could not help but feel shocked by their bold actions. They knew that they were no match for Mo Di's group, yet they still wanted to fight. This was akin to a life and death struggle!
"Haha, I have long heard that you, Yan Xiao, have few opponents in the Ancient Savage City. Ever since you came to the Ancient Savage City, you have not been defeated. Even a few Seven Star Half Emperors have been defeated by your hands. I really don't know if you are really as powerful as the rumours say or if those few fellows are just trash!"
Zhang Hao, who was in Mo Di's group, strode to Yan Bing's side and stared at Xiao Yan with a disdainful grin. The fighting energy in his body had already been circulated to every part of his body, and he was ready to strike at any time.
Even though Xiao Yan's battle accomplishments were godly, in his heart, the Xiao Yan before him was only a three star Half Martial Emperor. How could the disparity between two Half Martial Emperors be so easily made up for?
Today, he, Zhang Hao, would trample on Yan Xiao in front of everyone. He would trample on Yan Xiao's legendary battle record and let the entire Wildlands know that Yan Xiao was just an arrogant clown. Only he, Zhang Hao, was the true dragon among men!
He wanted to use Xiao Yan as a stepping stone to improve his reputation!
However, while he was thinking in this manner in his heart, he had forgotten that he was a seven star Half Martial Emperor. Even if he had defeated Xiao Yan, what could defeating a three star Half Martial Emperor do to him? In the eyes of others, this was merely something within reason.
However, once he was defeated, not only would it be a psychological blow to his confidence, it would also continue Xiao Yan's undefeated legend in the Ancient Savage City!
Faced with Zhang Hao's clamour, Xiao Yan had a mocking expression on his face. He turned his head and said with a smile:
"If you want to know whether my strength is real or fake, why do you need to talk? Why don't you just come and try me?"
As his voice sounded, Xiao Yan clenched his hand and the Dark Heavy Buster Sword immediately appeared in his hand. With a wave of the heavy buster sword, the wind whistled and the sound of sonic booms resounded incessantly.
When Zhang Hao saw this scene, it was exactly what he wanted. He forcefully waved his hand and a long sword appeared with a flicker. The body of the sword was bitingly cold. As the blade of the sword swayed, it reflected a dazzling light.
Zhang Hao's body moved and the long sword immediately streaked across the sky. As the thin and sharp body of the sword swayed, it appeared like a water snake flickering with cold light as it violently pierced towards Xiao Yan.
When Zhang Hao passed by Yan Bing, the latter's words of warning entered his ears.
"Don't be careless. He is indeed not as simple as you imagine him to be."
Hearing Yan Bing's warning words, Zhang Hao's originally confident heart couldn't help but waver.
Yan Bing's words were truly overestimating this Yan Xiao too much. No matter what, he had followed Yan Xiao for so many years. Now, after hearing Yan Xiao's words, he had been reduced to being inferior to a Three Star Half Martial Emperor brat. How could his state of mind remain calm?
The more Yan Bing spoke of Xiao Yan like this, the more he wanted to prove himself. He wanted to let Yan Bing know that as a Seven Star Half Martial Emperor, he was absolutely not someone a mere Three Star Half Martial Emperor could compare to!
"Haa!"
Following a frightening shout, the long sword danced. The feminine body of the sword swayed along with it. Like a water snake, it ruthlessly pierced towards Xiao Yan's head.
Xiao Yan's expression did not change. He slightly raised the huge ruler in his hand. With a wave of his arm, the wide huge ruler ferociously smashed towards the incoming long sword.
One hard and one soft, one thick and one thin. The two weapons formed an enormous contrast, giving one an indescribably strange feeling.
"Ding!"
At the moment when the huge ruler was smashed over, the long sword that was like a water snake was like a leech. It clung onto the body of the huge ruler. The tip of the sword lightly touched the body of the ruler and a clear collision sound was emitted.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown. As for the long sword, it continued to pierce through. It dodged the huge ruler and continued to pierce towards Xiao Yan's face.
"This fellow's moves are really strange. Although it looks like he is coming close to my Heavy Xuan Ruler, in reality, he has only collided with the Heavy Xuan Ruler a few times. This fellow's attacks are completely relying on dodging the huge ruler."
Surging Spiritual Strength poured out. Zhang Hao's movements were all seen by Xiao Yan. With regards to this sword that was so close to him, Xiao Yan could not help but feel a little astonished in his heart.
However, in the next moment, the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curled into a sneer. Although Zhang Hao's moves were tricky and ruthless, they relied on dodging to find an opening to attack. This kind of move was useless in front of an alchemist.
Standing at the back, when Yan Bing saw the sneer at the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Previously, he had already warned Zhang Hao not to underestimate his opponent. However, he did not expect that this fellow would actually turn a blind eye to his words. He was only anxious to show off. Now, it seemed that Zhang Hao was going to suffer.
However, at this moment, Zhang Hao, who was completely unaware of all of this, was looking at Xiao Yan with disdain.
The longsword in his hand had already arrived in front of Xiao Yan. At such a close distance, it was impossible for him to dodge. Furthermore, the huge ruler in his hand could not be used in time to block. Therefore, Xiao Yan was unable to dodge this attack.
Gu Li and Chi Lin, who were originally rather confident in Xiao Yan, could not help but feel that things were not going well for Xiao Yan when they saw the scene in front of them. Only when Gu Li also noticed the expression on Xiao Yan's face did he press down Chi Lin, who was about to attack, by the side.
"Hehe … Yan Xiao, you are only so-so. You can't even take a single attack from me!"
Zhang Hao's face was sinister as he laughed wildly.
Xiao Yan smiled and did not reply. However, in the instant that the longsword attacked, his idle left hand suddenly lifted. Spiritual Strength crazily gushed out from between his eyebrows and swiftly formed an invisible palm in front of Xiao Yan.
The movement of the invisible palm was exactly the same as the movement of Xiao Yan's extended left hand.
In the next moment, Xiao Yan raised his left hand in front of him. Both of his eyes stared intently at the longsword that was ferociously thrusting towards him. The sharp wind caused Xiao Yan's face to be a little stupefied. However, Xiao Yan turned a blind eye to this.
As the longsword attacked, Xiao Yan's raised hand suddenly clenched tightly. At the same time, he roared in his heart.
"Heaven class soul skill, Heavenly Hand!"
As the roar in his heart sounded, the invisible palm instantly solidified and formed a huge palm in the empty space in front of Xiao Yan. As Xiao Yan's left hand clenched tightly, the huge palm also grabbed the longsword that was coming towards Xiao Yan.
A frightening strength continued to compress the longsword in his hand. Under such a frightening pressure, the strong Dou Qi that was contained in the longsword finally erupted uncontrollably after a few breaths.
The huge palm could not help but tremble. Xiao Yan coldly snorted and exerted strength in his palm once again. Spiritual Strength crazily gushed out and the Heavenly Hand's strength instantly soared. It actually forcefully squeezed the longsword in the center of his palm.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao's heart instantly turned pale with fright. He wanted to dodge and retreat, but Xiao Yan would not let him off so easily. He suddenly waved his right hand and the Heavy Xuan Ruler that Zhang Hao had cleverly dodged earlier suddenly jerked. Following this, he waved it ferociously. The wide ruler's body brought about a sharp sound as it tore through the empty space. A frightening wind pressure directly faced Zhang Hao's face.
In the next moment, under Zhang Hao's horrified gaze, the wide and huge ruler ruthlessly smashed onto his face.
Instantly, the somewhat muffled sound of bones shattering was quietly emitted. Zhang Hao only felt that his entire body was in a semi-conscious state. The dizziness that came from the depths of his mind almost caused him to faint. However, the intense pain caused him to truly experience the feeling of being crushed. This caused him to be in a state where he did not know whether he was dead or alive.
Seeing Zhang Hao being sent flying, Xiao Yan's heart immediately felt refreshed. Ever since he had used the Heavy Xuan Ruler to slap Luo Jin's face, he seemed to be addicted to this feeling. Just now, he had casually tried it out. He did not expect the effect to be so out of his expectations.
The collision between Xiao Yan and Zhang Hao had only occurred for a short moment. By the time everyone recovered, all they saw was the scene of Zhang Hao being sent flying by the huge ruler.
"Bastard!"
Seeing Zhang Hao being sent flying by the huge ruler, a furious expression immediately surged onto Yan Bing's indifferent face. She cursed angrily from her mouth and her body suddenly flashed as she charged toward Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, who originally wanted to continue attacking Zhang Hao to prevent future troubles, saw Yan Bing actually rushing over. His expression could not help but change slightly. However, immediately after, Gu Li, who was beside him, laughed out loud and said:
"Don't worry and just cripple that guy. Let us deal with this guy first."
Xiao Yan nodded. Gu Li and Gu Li also swept past Xiao Yan and rushed towards Yan Bing.
When Xiao Yan's gaze once again landed on Zhang Hao's body, he had already quickly regained consciousness. However, his entire person looked battered and exhausted.
His entire face had become extremely distorted. His entire face looked like a metal pancake from one side. Because his left eye socket had been struck by the huge ruler, a corner of his flesh and bones had been forcibly shattered. At this moment, it was unknown where it had gone. His entire face was dripping with blood. His entire person had been disfigured. It looked extremely terrifying.
Even Xiao Yan could not help but feel a burst of fear in his heart when he saw this scene.
However, even though this was the case, Zhang Hao was still filled with unwillingness. Amidst a hoarse roar that sounded like the roar of a Demonic Beast, Zhang Hao once again charged explosively towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan shook his head with a face filled with disdain. He knew that although Zhang Hao appeared to be battered and exhausted, his overall strength was not much inferior to his. However, the latter's current appearance had truly caused Xiao Yan to not have the heart to continue fighting with him.
"A seven star Half Martial Emperor is only so-so. Let him play with you!"
After a disdainful sneer sounded, Xiao Yan retrieved his gaze. At the same time, he casually waved his hand at Zhang Hao. A black ray of light immediately shot out explosively. Like a cannonball, it ruthlessly shot towards Zhang Hao.
"Don't let me see him again. It's disgusting …"
As the black shadow flew out, Xiao Yan's tone was indifferent as he gave the order.
In the next instant, before Zhang Hao's astonished gaze, the black shadow ruthlessly collided with him …
Only after the other people beside him had moved aside did Xiao Yan slowly raise his gaze and look at Mu Han, who had been standing in the air and staring at him the entire time.
