High up in the sky, Xiao Yan's eyes contained a ruthless expression. His cold gaze quickly locked onto a person.
Xiao Yan's gaze rapidly swept around and immediately locked onto a short and fat old man among the five. The latter's strength was currently the weakest among the five. At the same time, he was also the one that Xiao Yan could guarantee he would defeat the fastest.
After locking onto his target, Xiao Yan immediately used the Sky Extinction Steps. In an instant, he had already arrived in front of the short and fat old man.
"Yellow Spring Palm!"
Xiao Yan's right hand held the giant ruler in a reverse grip. His left arm was bent and raised behind his ear. Surging Dou Qi violently surged out from his palm and rapidly agglomerated into a crystal-like palm above Xiao Yan's palm.
The instant the crystal-like palm was completely formed, Xiao Yan's left palm ruthlessly smashed toward the incoming old man.
Faced with Xiao Yan who had launched the first attack, the old man naturally understood the reason behind this. However, he was after all an eight star Half Martial Emperor. He was also quite confident in his own strength.
At the moment when Xiao Yan's palm arrived, the old man finally made his move.
The old man's body that was charging forward suddenly paused in the air. His hand suddenly clenched in the air. Dou Qi gushed out from his palm and rapidly agglomerated into an axe and hammer in the old man's hand.
Holding the axe and hammer in his hand, the old man exerted strength in his arm. His firm muscles immediately bulged and tore apart his sleeves. His thick and solid arm was immediately exposed to the air.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan's eyes involuntarily hardened slightly. Unexpectedly, this short and fat old man before him was actually a fellow with quite a strong physical body.
Unfortunately, regardless of how strong his physical body was, it would be difficult for him to escape death today!
"Brat, prepare to die! Mortal Class Dou Skill, Final Blow! "
After the shout sounded, the axe and hammer in the old man's hand was immediately swung upward. The square and thick surface of the hammer directly faced Xiao Yan's palm. Sharp wind unceasingly compressed the air and ear-piercing sonic booms were also unceasingly emitted.
"Clang!"
In the next moment, as the sound of metal colliding rang out, the invisible space immediately stirred up layers of wave-like spatial waves. With Xiao Yan and the old man as the centre, it rapidly swept out in all directions.
This loud sound was just like a bolt from the blue. Not long after the spatial wave swept over, an even more frightening Dou Qi wave swept in all directions. This time around, even the Endless Mountain Range below was unavoidably caught in the crossfire. Just a single attack had caused an enormous deep pit to appear in the mountain range.
At the same time, when the energy storm swept out, the expressions of the other four people in the surroundings changed. With a move of their bodies, they retreated backwards. Solemnly, they stared at the center that was blocked by the energy storm. At that spot, there were still two extremely strong auras violently clashing.
"Crack!"
Unfortunately, even though Xiao Yan's strength was not weak, that short and fat old man was after all an eight star Half Martial Emperor. Moreover, the Dou Skill that he was currently using was even stronger than Xiao Yan's Yellow Spring Palm. Hence, in this collision, Xiao Yan was temporarily defeated.
Following a clear cracking sound, a tiny crack line appeared on Xiao Yan's Yellow Spring Palm.
"Bang!"
When the energy storm scattered, the two human figures in the sky withdrew explosively.
Xiao Yan's body withdrew by ten thousand feet in a somewhat miserable manner. His feet stomped violently on the empty air. Each time his foot landed, it would cause the mountain range below to collapse. From this, one could imagine just what kind of frightening strength Xiao Yan was enduring.
After Xiao Yan strenuously stopped his body, he involuntarily vomited a mouthful of dark red blood. At this moment, his already pale complexion instantly became deathly pale.
It must be said that an eight star Half Martial Emperor was an eight star Half Martial Emperor. Even though Xiao Yan was not weak, the difference in their cultivations had still allowed the latter to gain quite a bit of an advantage. However, to Xiao Yan, it was merely so-so.
"Cough cough …"
After repeatedly coughing twice, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at the short and fat old man across from him who still had an ordinary expression.
Compared to Xiao Yan, the short and fat old man was much better. Thus, at this moment, the gaze with which he looked at Xiao Yan involuntarily revealed a mocking smile.
"Hahahaha! Xiao Yan, it seems that you can only flaunt your mouth. With just you, without relying on those methods of yours, it is simply impossible for you to be a match for this old man! "
The short and fat old man had an insolent expression as he laughed loudly. It was as if defeating Xiao Yan was something that he was extremely proud of. However, when he ridiculed Xiao Yan, he seemed to have forgotten that with his strength as an eight star Half Martial Emperor, defeating Xiao Yan, a five star Half Martial Emperor, was something that couldn't be more normal in the hearts of the majority of people.
"Haha, is that so? I remember that I told you all before that there is a price to pay for unwarranted arrogance. However, from the looks of it, you all don't seem to remember my words. Since that's the case, let me use my actions to tell you all!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan involuntarily let out a cold laugh. Only at this moment did his right hand, which had been holding the Heavy Xuan Ruler the entire time, suddenly swing it. As Dou Qi shot out, the pitch-black ruler was already covered by a gorgeous Heavenly Flame.
As the heavy ruler's body streaked through the air, 'chi chi' sounds of rushing wind were heard. Even from a great distance away, the strong wind pressure caused one to feel suffocated.
"Seven Layered Sky Breaking Ruler, two feet!"
Suddenly, following an earth-shaking roar from Xiao Yan's mouth, the huge ruler in his hand suddenly streaked through the air in front of him. A frightening ruler light ruthlessly swept toward the short and fat old man like a huge wave on the surface of the sea. Its aura filled the sky.
However, in response to this, the short and fat old man's face involuntarily revealed a cold smile. If Xiao Yan had attacked with this ruler while he was unable to react in time, he might really be unable to block it. Unfortunately, Xiao Yan did not do so. Instead, he faced him head on. In this way, he did not have the slightest room to worry.
"Ha ha, Xiao Yan, you should obediently surrender. With just this attack of yours, you will not be able to hurt the old me!"
The short and fat old man ridiculed. Immediately, he once again waved the huge hammer axe in his hand. The axe was facing upwards. The sharp aura caused the surrounding empty space to involuntarily form circles of invisible spatial ripples.
"Try this move of the old me. Human Class Middle Level Dou Technique, Splitting Mountain and Breaking Sea!"
As the cry from the short and fat old man's mouth sounded, the hammer axe in his hand was violently swung upwards. Immediately, an ear-piercing sonic boom resounded unceasingly. The invisible empty space seemed to have been split into two under this axe. The air wherever it passed was isolated by this axe, only leaving behind a vacuum of empty space.
Under the support of the Dou Qi, the edge of the axe became incomparably frightening. A vast aura spread out from it, causing one's expression to change. The strength of this axe was likely something that even an expert of the same level would not dare to easily receive, much less Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan sensed the frightening aura on the axe, his expression involuntarily changed. The strength of this fellow had far exceeded his expectations. However, even if this was the case, it was still unable to change Xiao Yan's determination to kill both of them.
"Ha ha ha ha, good. Since you respect me, I will return you ten feet!"
In the next moment, the solemn-faced Xiao Yan suddenly emitted a loud and arrogant laughter that was filled with an untamed feeling. Immediately, the huge ruler in his hand was once again waved. He continuously waved three feet and four feet overlapped each other, causing the might to become even greater. Even the faces of the four people outside the battleground involuntarily revealed a solemn expression when they saw this.
This kind of attack was something that even they could not underestimate.
Under everyone's gazes, the majestic ruler glow and the similarly ferocious huge axe swiftly approached each other. Immediately, they violently collided together in the next moment.
"Bang!"
The result of the collision between the two Dou Techniques, which had similar auras, was mutual destruction.
In the next moment, the energy storm that blotted out the sun swept in all directions like a hundred thousand feet large wave. The originally clear sky of Qiankun Sky suddenly changed color at this moment. It was covered by a dense energy storm.
At this moment, even the expressions of the four Half-emperors outside involuntarily changed wildly. One by one, they twisted their bodies and wildly fled into the distance as if they were fleeing. When they saw the frightening energy storm from afar, their eyes were filled with endless fear.
The energy storm came wave after wave. It continued to hum for over ten minutes. It was during these ten plus minutes that the entire area was being destroyed. The four Half-emperors could only maneuver the Dou Qi within their bodies and temporarily seal the area within the energy storm.
A long while later, when the frightening energy storm was about to scatter, a frightening Heavenly Flame storm that was not inferior to the former once again swept out from the middle of the battleground.
Circular after circular fire lotus petals gradually stood in the air within the space that had been sealed by the four Half-emperors. They swelled with the wind.
When the many layers of fire lotus petals were completely pieced together to form an enormous fire lotus, the Dou Qi light barrier that the four eight star Half-emperors had created together could not help but be forcefully blasted apart.
"Bang!"
The Heavenly Flame storm easily destroyed the Dou Qi light barrier that the four Half-emperors had created together. Only then did its energy scatter. It turned into waves of heat that swept in all directions in the sky.
The faces of the four Half-emperors involuntarily became a little flushed as they sensed the frightening high temperature that was brought about by the heat wave. Their hearts were involuntarily shocked.
The might of a Heavenly Flame was really frightening. When it erupted in this manner, even they felt a grave feeling.
They did not even dare to imagine just what kind of ending they would have ended up in if they had been in the middle of the Heavenly Flame storm earlier.
When the storm finally scattered, the few of them lifted their heads and looked over with some lingering fear. Everywhere their eyes passed, there was only a pitch-black endless space. Under the Heavenly Flame storm, this entire space had unavoidably ended up collapsing.
When the gazes of the four swept over the entire space, they were finally filled with shock and fear as they discovered that the short and fat old man's figure was actually nowhere to be seen.
Such an outcome could only mean one thing. The short and fat old man had already died and his Dao had vanished!
It was extremely likely that not even his corpse was left behind!
"Dead … dead?!"
The expressions on the faces of the four Half-emperors became a little dull. Soon after, their mouths involuntarily exclaimed. It was difficult to imagine that an eight star Half-emperor, who had been so mighty a moment ago and had said that he would capture Xiao Yan, would actually become a dead soul in the hands of the other party in mere moments …
Only at this moment did the four of them recall the words that Xiao Yan had said when they had first met him.
"Including all of you, the number of eight star Half-emperors who have died in my hands should be around ten."
From the looks of it, those words were not groundless.
Unwarranted arrogance would really cause them to pay an extremely great price. To a great extent, it had even touched upon their lives.
