The pitch-black night sky gradually enveloped the entire land. Tonight, the moon did not shine and the stars were dim. The entire world was enveloped in darkness. There was an invisible oppressive atmosphere that filled the entire world.
In the vast mountain forest, the dense forest was dark. The mountain forest, which was usually gloomy, had become as dark as ink at this moment.
Looking from afar, under the ink-black sky, there was an endless mountain forest that obstructed one's sight. In the distance, the towering mountain peaks were like huge beasts that stood between the sky and the earth under the cover of the night. Even though it was already late at night, this scene still caused one to feel an unusual sense of shock.
At this moment, in the dark mountain forest, within the thicket, a pitch-black figure was swiftly moving like a ghost. Wherever he passed, the trees within a dozen feet of him were forcefully destroyed by an invisible force.
However, the speed of this figure became slower and slower after a few twists and turns. The invisible energy that was originally around his body also suddenly disappeared.
In the end, the body of the figure that was flashing suddenly became weak. He immediately fell from the sky uncontrollably like a rolling stone. After tumbling miserably on the ground a few times, he heavily smashed into the trunk of a tree. Following a muffled low sound, if one looked carefully, this figure was surprisingly a person.
This person was Xiao Yan, who had hurriedly escaped from the hands of Huo Ting and the other person not long ago.
After flying for a short distance, Xiao Yan's Force Elephant Tactic finally scattered uncontrollably. At the same time, all the injuries that the Force Elephant Tactic had received in the previous big battle were also fed back to Xiao Yan at this moment.
After suffering repeated heavy injuries, Xiao Yan was currently in unbearable pain even though he was not seriously injured to the point of near death. His body was unable to move and even the Dou Qi in his body had been exhausted in the previous big battle.
In the dark night, Xiao Yan's face appeared particularly pale. His entire body was covered in various wounds and bruises. Some of the wounds seemed to have been forcefully torn by some kind of sharp weapon. As for the majority of the bruises, they were basically caused by Bai Ying. Even so, Xiao Yan understood that Bai Ying had held back in the battle. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured at this moment, let alone be conscious.
The intense pain that came from all over his body caused Xiao Yan to have no choice but to curl up. The consciousness in his mind gradually dimmed. There was an invisible chill that wrapped around Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan clearly understood that this was a sign that he was about to faint. Once he fainted at this moment, it was very likely that he would be found by those two fellows. No matter what, he could not fall asleep now!
"No … I can't sleep! I must not sleep! "
At this moment, there seemed to be something deep within Xiao Yan's heart that was calling out to him. A short moment later, Xiao Yan, whose mind had become increasingly giddy, suddenly widened his eyes. Unlike his pale face, the current Xiao Yan's eyes were scarlet red. There was a cluster of purple flames burning fiercely deep within his eyes.
Three Thousand Burning Flame!
The Three Thousand Burning Flame was known as the undying flame. As long as the flame was not extinguished, there would be room for recovery regardless of how serious the injuries were. At this moment, Xiao Yan was borrowing the mysteriousness of the Three Thousand Burning Flame to do his best to recover from the injuries within his body.
Of course, just the Three Thousand Burning Flame was far from enough. Although the 'Heavenly Flame' was strong, it was after all not his actual body. The help it could provide to Xiao Yan was limited. If he wanted to swiftly recover from the injuries within his body, he still had to rely on the strength of the medicinal pill.
Xiao Yan lifted his hand that was covered in fresh blood in front of him. He forcefully endured the intense pain within his body. With a flip of his hand, a round medicinal pill appeared in his palm. Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan immediately swallowed the medicinal pill.
Immediately, the powerful medicinal strength swiftly spread within Xiao Yan's body. Although the medicinal strength was dense, it did not have much of an effect on Xiao Yan's body. However, when the medicinal strength passed through Xiao Yan's internal organs, it caused him to feel an intense pain. Soon after, however, it brought about the recovery of his injuries.
Xiao Yan's heart slowly sighed in relief as he sensed the injuries within his body gradually recovering. However, his heart still did not dare to relax. The remaining Spiritual Strength carefully surged out as he remained cautious of the situation around him.
At the same time, on the other side, Huo Ting and Bai Ying were facing the strange black-robed person who had suddenly appeared in front of them. The expressions of the two of them were solemn.
"Who exactly are you?"
Huo Ting's expression was gloomy as he spoke. It was not difficult to hear a fury in his voice.
Although everyone was also an elite Dou Di, the strength of this mysterious black-robed person in front of them was clearly above the two of them. This was because he and Bai Ying were actually unable to gain any advantage from this black-robed person in the earlier collision between the two of them. Originally, they wanted to send one of them to chase after Xiao Yan. However, from the looks of things, it was impossible. The other party's intention was to help Xiao Yan block the two of them from the very beginning.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that all of you can forget about leaving this place with me around."
A faint voice was softly emitted from under the black robe. However, it caused Huo Ting's expression to become increasingly gloomy.
"We are members of the Heavenly Sword Gate. If you dare to stop us, you will be going against the Heavenly Sword Gate!"
"Ha …"
This time around, the old man laughed softly and considered it a reply.
"You!"
Huo Ting's heart immediately became furious when he heard this laughter filled with disdain. Soon after, he appeared to have suddenly recalled something. Both of his eyes suddenly narrowed. His gaze stared intently at the black-robed person in front of him. His gaze swept over the latter's collar, which had been purposely covered.
He immediately raised his head and said, "You are someone from the spatial auction house!"
Under the black robe, a surprised expression flashed across the old face. Immediately, it turned into a soft smile and was noncommittal.
"In that case, the one who stopped us from transmitting information through the jade token in the auction house is also you!"
Huo Ting's expression was gloomy as he continued to speak when he saw that the person who had fled did not deny it.
Hearing these words, a look of surprise also appeared on Bai Ying's face. As for what he was thinking in his heart, it was unknown.
"Helping Xiao Yan escape. Are you going to publicly become enemies with our four great sects? You should know that Xiao Yan is a person that the four great sects jointly want to capture! "
"Ha, are the four great sects very strong?"
"What did you say!"
The old man spoke indifferently. His words contained a trace of contempt. When these words reached Huo Ting's ears, the latter was instantly enraged. He had never seen anyone who dared to evaluate the four great sects in such a manner.
"The so-called four great sects only have some achievements in the Xilin Region. Aren't you thinking too highly of yourselves? Others may be afraid of your four great sects, but we are not."
The black robed old man laughed coldly. He completely ignored the ashen expressions of the two people in front of him. However, at this moment, a large group of people flew over from afar behind Huo Ting and Huo Ting. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of Huo Ting and Huo Ting.
The people were divided into two groups. One group was dressed in white robes with the word 'Bai' written on the badge on their chests. The other group was dressed in black robes with the word 'Huo' carved on their chests. These two groups of people were the experts of the Bai and Huo Clans. At this moment, there was a young man leading the group in front of them. The two were the young masters of their respective clans, Bai Zhan and Huo Yuning.
"Father."
Bai Zhan respectfully greeted Bai Ying as he approached. Bai Ying nodded slightly. His eyes met with Bai Zhan's as their minds merged.
"Hahahaha …"
Huo Ting's expression immediately became pleasantly surprised when he saw this group of people who had arrived in time. This sudden reinforcement made him extremely happy. As long as they were here, even if he and Bai Ying were held back by the black robed man, these people could still enter the mountain to search for Xiao Yan's traces!
"Haha, the heavens are really on my side. Old man, the two of us will accompany you here today. As for the rest of you, immediately enter the mountain and search inch by inch. You must find Xiao Yan's traces!"
Huo Ting first laughed coldly at the black robed man. Then, his gaze turned back to the group behind him as he laughed loudly and ordered.
The people of the Huo Clan immediately nodded when they heard the order. The people of the Bai Clan looked at Bai Ying and his father, as if waiting for their orders.
"Third elder Huo, Xiao Yan's strength is extraordinary. He has the Sky Extinction Step. In addition, the two of us were held back by him just now. I'm afraid he has already left this mountain range, right?"
Bai Ying secretly frowned as he probed Huo Ting.
"No! I personally saw that fellow's speed become increasingly slower as he left. I am certain that Xiao Yan must have been seriously injured in the previous battle. That illusionary figure of his could not have completely blocked our attacks. Currently, Xiao Yan is likely hiding in the mountain forest to secretly recover from his injuries! "
Huo Ting violently shook his head. He recalled the battle with Xiao Yan earlier. While he pondered in his heart, his words hit the nail on the head. He had actually guessed Xiao Yan's current situation.
Bai Ying's heart immediately jumped when he heard this. Indeed, he had also seen the scene when Xiao Yan left. At that time, Xiao Yan's speed was much slower than before. Moreover, he also had some doubts about the illusionary figure behind Xiao Yan. It was impossible for there to be a Dou Technique that was so powerful.
It was not that there were no defensive Dou Techniques that could block attacks, but it was impossible for them to reach such a level. From the way Xiao Yan hurriedly left, he should be aware of his own situation. It was likely that a large part of the reason he had escaped from the two of them was to prevent the illusionary figure's effect from passing and causing him to fall into their hands.
