"Shh!"
Xiong Gang had just spat out these words from his mouth when the expression of Xiao Yan, who was wearing a black robe, immediately changed. He hurriedly gestured for the latter to keep quiet. Soon after, Xiong Gang quickly reacted and gently nodded his head. His somewhat simple and honest face was currently filled with a joyous smile. He knew that since Xiao Yan had appeared at this moment, it would not be a problem for the three of them to enter the Desolate Ancient Remains.
Even though they had not truly interacted with Xiao Yan for a long time, they had unknowingly become friends with each other. Moreover, Xiao Yan's strength caused them to be filled with confidence. This was especially so after the incident at the eastern wall where Xiao Yan had entered the hinterland of Xilin. The three of them firmly believed in Xiao Yan in their hearts. It seemed that as long as any trouble was placed in front of Xiao Yan, it would be easily solved. Even though they did not know where this confidence came from, it did not cause them to have the slightest doubt in their hearts.
"Haha, I really did not expect that you would actually appear here. Haha, I really have to thank you for saving my life. If it was not for you today, I'm afraid that the current me would have been under that blood pillar!"
Xiong Gang's somewhat pale face was filled with smiles as he stood up. He inhaled two deep breaths of air and his mind swiftly recovered from the incident earlier. After which, his large palm violently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. His gaze turned. In the distant empty space, Sky Eagle and Flame Lion had also discovered the commotion here at this moment. Seeing that Xiong Gang was fine, a joyous glow was emitted from the eyes of the two of them. Their bodies moved and they hurriedly flew over.
The two of them approached and saw that Xiong Gang was indeed fine. Only then did the two of them let out a long sigh of relief. Their tensed hearts also suddenly relaxed.
"Haha, look at how nervous the two of you are. Am I not fine? Haha."
Xiong Gang laughed when he saw the two people in front of him. His face involuntarily revealed an expression of lingering fear as he spoke.
"You are really a stubborn person. If it was not for this mister's timely intervention earlier, it is likely that you would have already become another dead soul under that blood pillar. You actually still dare to laugh here. We should have really let that blood pillar take you in earlier."
Although Tian Ying understood in his heart that Xiong Gang was only doing this to reassure them, he still involuntarily scolded when he heard this. After which, he turned his gaze and looked at Xiao Yan, whose back was facing them and whose body was hidden under a black robe. His gaze ruthlessly cut at Xiong Gang before exchanging glances with the Flame Lion by the side. The two of them nodded in unison. Soon after, they cupped their hands to the mysterious black-robed human figure in front of them.
"The both of us thank elder for saving my younger brother's life!"
The expression on Xiong Gang's face immediately became dull when he heard this. Even Xiao Yan, who was in front of the three of them at this moment, involuntarily revealed a playful smile on his face under the black robe. Immediately, he slowly turned around in front of the respectful gazes of the two behind him. Soon after, a familiar handsome face appeared in front of Sky Eagle and the Flame Lion's eyes.
"Haha, these two old brothers, this little brother is really unable to accept this great gift from the both of you!"
The expressions on the faces of Sky Eagle and the Flame Lion froze the moment they saw this familiar face. Soon after, the two of them opened their mouths to exclaim. However, Xiao Yan was already prepared. The moment the two of them exclaimed, an invisible strength immediately sealed the empty space where the three of them were located. Any sound within it was naturally blocked.
"Xiao Yan!"
Words that were filled with surprise were emitted from the mouths of the two of them. The expressions on their faces instantly became wild joy. They did not expect that they would actually meet Xiao Yan during this trip to the Desolate Ancient Remains.
"Xiao Yan, it is really you!"
Sky Eagle's face was filled with disbelief as he looked at Xiao Yan in front of him. He did not expect that Xiao Yan would actually appear in the Xilin Mountain Range.
"Haven't you already passed through the Xilin Mountain Range? Why have you appeared here again?"
The Flame Lion by the side also walked forward with a face filled with surprise. However, soon after, he frowned slightly and asked with a somewhat doubtful tone.
Upon hearing this, not only Sky Eagle, even Xiong Gang by the side also involuntarily frowned. Could it be that Xiao Yan in front of them did not pass through the Xilin Mountain Range?
Xiao Yan smiled faintly as if he had guessed the thoughts of the three in front of him. Immediately, he smiled and explained to the three of them in front of him.
"Ke ke, the three of you are thinking too much. Although I have indeed passed through the Xilin Mountain Range, I will naturally be able to return after leaving."
Sky Eagle and the other two came to a sudden understanding when they heard this. However, Sky Eagle's expression involuntarily changed when he turned his eyes. This was because while the three of them were focused on conversing, the four blood pillars in the sky appeared to have been angered. They suddenly turned in the sky and the four blood pillars immediately charged towards Xiao Yan's group. From the looks of it, it seemed that they would not rest until they killed Xiao Yan's group.
"Dammit! I have nearly forgotten that now is not the time to talk. Everyone be careful. Those damn things are coming again! "
Sky Eagle's voice was solemn as he spoke. His body shook and the Dou Qi within his body once again spluttered out. At the same time, the Flame Lion and Xiong Gang by his side also maneuvered the Dou Qi within their bodies in preparation to face the four blood pillars that were about to arrive.
However, just as the three of them were preparing to attack, Xiao Yan, who was currently standing behind the three of them, used his hand to gently pat Sky Eagle's shoulder. The latter's eyes hardened. Soon after, Xiao Yan blocked the three in front of him.
"Ke ke, these three old brothers, leave this thing to me."
Xiao Yan laughed faintly. His gaze calmly swept over the faces of the three of them. Immediately, it landed on the four blood pillars.
The hand under his sleeves was slowly clenched. The fury that had been suppressed within his chest since the beginning had finally shown some unusual signs at this moment.
He treated the Sky Eagle trio as his friends and naturally did not wish for any of them to be hurt. However, Xiong Gang had nearly lost his life to these strange blood pillars earlier. It was just as Xiong Gang had said. If it was not because Xiao Yan was coincidentally present today, he would really have no way to survive. Moreover, the Sky Eagle duo might even risk their lives for Xiong Gang. This was something that Xiao Yan was unwilling to see no matter what.
However, the Sky Eagle trio involuntarily frowned in the face of Xiao Yan's actions. Even though they had some understanding of Xiao Yan's true strength, the strength of these blood pillars was even more frightening than the cold wind under the eastern wall back then. If Xiao Yan was careless, would it not …
"Xiao Yan, we …"
"Ke ke, does old brother Sky Eagle not believe in my ability?"
"Ugh …"
However, just as Sky Eagle was about to open his mouth, Xiao Yan laughed softly, forcefully stopping the words that were about to reach his mouth. Immediately, Sky Eagle glanced at the Flame Lion and Xiong Gang beside him. He helplessly laughed bitterly. The three of them shifted their feet slightly, giving Xiao Yan the space in front of them.
At the same time, other than the group of Ban Di experts near the lake, the other group of Ban Di experts in the sky were looking at the Sky Eagle trio below with doubtful faces. These three fellows were actually still standing there in a daze when they saw the blood pillars charging toward them. Were they seeking death?
Of course, other than these Ban Di experts, the eyes of those elite Dou Di present, including Zhuo Bentang and Bai Ying, had landed on the black robed Xiao Yan below at this moment. No one could tell, but they were aware that the reason why the Sky Eagle trio had moved aside was likely because this mysterious black robed person was about to personally intervene.
"Just who is this person? Even the old me is unable to detect his aura!"
Zhuo Bentang's eyes were cautious as he stared at Xiao Yan below. He involuntarily thought quietly in his heart. At the same time, Bai Ying's heart was also filled with doubt as he stared at Xiao Yan. The doubt in his heart was not smaller than Zhuo Bentang's.
At the same time, the expression on Xiao Yan's face, which was covered by a black robe, was calm as he faced the four blood pillars that were about to arrive in front of him in the empty space below. On the other hand, Tian Ying and the other two behind him involuntarily felt a wave of worry in their hearts despite being clearly aware of Xiao Yan's great strength in their hearts.
A thought passed through his mind and the Dou Qi within the vortex within his body began to circulate. Following Xiao Yan's control, threads of tiny Great Dao Strength gradually appeared in the invisible empty space. Immediately, they were absorbed into Xiao Yan's body.
Soon after, the four blood pillars that reached the sky arrived in front of Xiao Yan's group in the blink of an eye. Seemingly having seen that Xiao Yan's group did not react, the blood pillars suddenly became furious. The aura on them also became increasingly frightening.
However, in the next moment …
When the four blood pillars ruthlessly pierced through the bodies of Xiao Yan's group, Xiao Yan suddenly waved his large hand under the black robe. Suddenly, as his palm cut through the empty space, a pitch-black Great Dao Strength swiftly condensed in the empty space and instantly transformed into four pitch-black tents.
Soon after, the four blood pillars that reached the sky violently collided with the four tents that had suddenly appeared.
However, in the next moment, the expected scene of the tents exploding did not occur. Instead, the four blood pillars actually disappeared the moment they came into contact with the tents …
Immediately, everyone's eyes were stunned. Numerous gazes filled with disbelief stared fixedly at the four blood pillars that reached the sky. However, when the four blood pillars completely disappeared into the tents, everyone focused their eyes. The four tents stood flat while the four blood pillars had completely disappeared.
