Western Region, Sha He Pai.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was raising his head with a solemn expression on a street where there were fewer people in the city. His gaze stared intently at the eastern sky where four black figures were swiftly growing larger.
Within a short couple of breaths, the appearance of the few black figures gradually became clear.
The person leading them was wearing a golden robe and a golden crown on his head. He held a seven foot long golden walking stick in his hand. This person's entire body was emitting a golden light, appearing just like a sun in the sky. Fortunately, this' sun 'did not emit a frighteningly high temperature.
On his right was a burly, dark-skinned old man wearing armor.
The old man's face was ferocious, causing one to not dare to look directly at him. The muscles all over his body gave one an extremely impactful visual experience. The invisible overbearing aura that was emitted from him caused one to tremble with fear. It was as though this empty space would be shattered by him if one was careless. It was quite shocking.
On the right was a skinny old man who was also wearing a golden robe. His eyes were sharp. His sharp eyes appeared as though they were about to cut the empty space apart. The invisible aura that was emitted from him shot to the sky. It was just like a treasure sword that stood between the sky and the earth, incomparably sharp.
The person on the right was an old man in a linen robe. His face appeared quite amiable when compared to the other three, causing one to feel a kind of amiable feeling at first glance. His pair of shady old eyes were filled with a kind expression. He was just like an old grandfather who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Of course, since he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the three people beside him, no one would think that he was an ordinary old man.
These four people were the sect leaders of the four large sects of the western region. From left to right, they were Chen Zhen from the God Refining Sect, Wu Jitian from the Battle Martial Sect, Jian Ming from the Sky Sword Sect, and Ye Luotian from the Withered Leaf Sect.
Xiao Yan's heart involuntarily felt startled at the sudden arrival of these four people.
He had indeed thought that these few fellows would chase after him. However, he did not expect them to reach this place so quickly. It seemed that these four clans had already been alerted by his breakthrough to the five star Dou Di class.
Xiao Yan's swift growth caused the four large sects to feel an unprecedented pressure. Once Xiao Yan truly grew, his cultivation would be at the same level as theirs. At that time, it was likely that even if the four large sects joined hands, they would have difficulty dealing with Xiao Yan. Therefore, they needed to completely eliminate him before the storm arrived!
At this point, the four great sects could no longer care about their reputation. If they could not deal with Xiao Yan, not to mention their reputation, it was hard to say if there would still be a place for them in the Western Region in the future. How could they continue to remain silent?
"Chi …"
A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind and the dark-black Heavy Xuan Ruler immediately landed in Xiao Yan's hand. The tip of the ruler fell and emitted a 'chi chi' sound of breaking air. Finally, the moment the huge ruler landed, it left behind an enormous deep pit on the street.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Yan's body suddenly rushed high into the sky. He transformed into a dark-black ray of light. When his body came to a stop, he had already appeared opposite of the four people.
The faces of these four people did not reveal any surprise at Xiao Yan's appearance. This seemed to be within their expectations. After all, they had already noticed the latter's existence when Xiao Yan had discovered them.
Xiao Yan did not have any possibility of escaping in the face of four elite Dou Di class experts. Stepping forward to fight was perhaps his best route of retreat.
"Four Sect Leaders, how have you been?"
Xiao Yan's expression was ice-cold as he stood high in the sky. The huge ruler in his hand rotated slightly. The huge ruler was swung horizontally until it was level with Xiao Yan's arm. Immediately, a 'puff' sound was heard as a fierce thick white flame rose from the huge ruler.
Xiao Yan's gaze slowly swept over the four people in front of him. When it flashed past Ye Luotian, his eyes involuntarily paused. Others might not know but he clearly understood that on the surface, Ye Luotian appeared to be the weakest amongst the four. However, Xiao Yan understood that if they were to truly fight, it was likely that Ye Luotian's strength would shock everyone present.
A light flickered deep within Ye Luotian's shady old eyes when he saw Xiao Yan's gaze shooting over. However, he subconsciously dodged it. Only when they sensed this did the three beside him ignore him.
The other three sects also held some doubts in their hearts when it came to Ye Luotian. After all, as one of the four great sects, the Withered Leaf Sect was not as imposing and overbearing as the other three sects. They usually acted as if they were a good person. Everyone involuntarily thought in their hearts, could such a sect really stand among the four great sects?
However, the truth was often like this, and it surpassed everyone's expectations. However, it was also because of this that the other three of the Four Great Sects, although they were filled with disdain toward the Withered Leaf Sect, at the same time, they were more or less afraid of them.
At times, the truly frightening thing was not necessarily the powerful strength that had already been revealed. Often, it was those who appeared ordinary but were filled with mystery, just like the Withered Leaf Sect.
Perhaps it was because of this that the three great sects did not dare to make a move against the Withered Leaf Sect. Otherwise, with such a large piece of cake in front of them, they would have long fought over it.
"Xiao Yan, it is likely that we have not met for over ten years since the last time we parted."
The first to speak was Chen Zhen from the Refinement Sect. Amongst the four great sects, the Refinement Sect was the strongest. Hence, when the four great sects joined forces, the Refinement Sect would be in charge of everything.
"After so many years, the four of you have indeed not forgotten about my Sky Extinction Steps!"
Xiao Yan parted his mouth into a cold smile. His feet moved while the words were spat out from his mouth. The Sky Extinction Steps was unleashed. In an instant, the black-robed Xiao Yan's body rushed forward by over a thousand feet.
When they saw Xiao Yan's frightening speed, even the four great sect leaders could not help but secretly feel shocked in their hearts.
With the growth of his strength, the advantage in terms of speed had also become increasingly obvious after he had practiced the Sky Extinction Steps.
The current Xiao Yan's strength was merely that of a five star Dou Di. However, even so, his speed was still a little faster than the four of them. Just this point alone was enough to show how frightening the Sky Extinction Steps was.
"Xiao Yan, your speed is indeed frightening. However, you should also clearly understand that the people standing in front of you are the sect leaders of the four great sects. If it was one on one, you might have some ability to retaliate. However, in front of the four of us, do you think that you will be able to escape even if you have the Sky Extinction Steps?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's sudden eruption of frightening speed, Chen Zhen clearly understood in his heart that Xiao Yan was merely borrowing the terror of the Sky Extinction Steps to intimidate the four of them. Unfortunately, he had lived for so many years. Chen Zhen was also a shrewd old man. He had seen through Xiao Yan's intention at a glance.
Hearing these words, Xiao Yan's heart could not help but sink a little. Both of his eyes narrowed. Only then did he speak.
"Looks like the four of you are planning to join forces to deal with me just like back then. Haha, I am really honored!"
"Don't say such useless things. Since we have come to find you, we are naturally prepared to join forces. No matter what you say today, you must hand over the Sky Extinction Steps!"
Chen Zhen once again sneered. His words that were filled with ridicule fell. At the same time, the golden walking stick in his hand heavily knocked on the invisible space. Immediately, a circle of golden light swiftly spread out from the bottom of the walking stick. In the blink of an eye, it had already covered the entire sky above the sand river. Moreover, it condensed into a huge formation at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Xiao Yan, this large formation is something that this old man has personally prepared for you. Today, even if you have the Sky Extinction Steps, you are destined to be unable to escape!"
