In the sky, the leaders of the four large sects each released the powerful aura within their bodies. Powerful Dou Qi charged out from their bodies and shot to the sky, transforming into four Dou Qi light pillars that shot into the sky. Their auras were like rainbows.
The auras within the bodies of the four people combined in this empty space and became even stronger. They violently pressed down on Han Dong and Xiao Yan.
Even though this wasn't a fatal attack, the terrifying pressure of this aura was enough to make people's hearts tremble.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this scene, Han Dong immediately let out a cold snort. A thought passed through his mind and a powerful Spiritual Strength broke out from between his brows. It was like a long spear with a vast aura that forcefully blocked the pressure from these four people.
"Don't tell me that the four leaders really want to start a war with our Alchemist Alliance?"
Although he had used his own strength to block the aura and pressure of four high class Dou Di, Han Dong's expression was ugly. Fighting four people by himself was really too much of a stretch.
"Chairman Han, our four large sects have repeatedly given in because of you and the Alchemist Alliance. Now, we only hope to obtain the 'Sky Extinction Steps' and open the 'Sky Extinction Ancient Tomb'. This does not seem to be too difficult. As long as Xiao Yan is willing to hand over the 'Sky Extinction Steps', our four large sects will immediately turn around and leave. However, if he does not hand it over, we will have to return dejectedly.
"Hmph, explanation? As the leaders, do you still need to give an explanation to the sect? "
Han Dong sneered. Chen Zhen's words were simply bullshit. As the dignified Sect Leader, why would he need to report everything to the Sect?
"Since this is the case, chairman Han, we can only offend you. No matter what happens today, Xiao Yan must hand over the 'Sky Extinction Steps'!"
Soon after, Chen Zhen let out a loud cry. His eyes swiftly exchanged glances with the three people beside him. He immediately nodded heavily. His body shook and the Dou Qi within the vortex in his body surged out even more ferociously.
Immediately, the auras that surged out from the bodies of the four of them became even more frightening. Within a short couple of breaths, Han Dong's Spiritual Pressure was swiftly suppressed by the combined efforts of the four of them.
Under the combined efforts of four high class Dou Di, the aura and pressure that was agglomerated was not something that Han Dong alone could easily resist.
"Buzz!"
It was also at this moment that Xiao Yan, who had been silent, suddenly moved.
One could see a dense-white flame light pillar being emitted from Xiao Yan's body. A shocking aura and pressure swept out from his body. At the same time, a somewhat illusionary enormous human figure swiftly stood behind Xiao Yan. His powerful strength, along with Han Dong's spiritual pressure, actually pushed back the aura that the four of them had agglomerated together to form in an instant.
Soon after, another powerful Spiritual Pressure erupted from Xiao Yan's body while the expressions of the four of them were changing. It charged forward. One could hear a 'bang' sound. The combined aura of four high class Dou Di experts was forcefully broken by Xiao Yan and Han Dong.
"What!"
A shocked expression surfaced on the faces of the five people in the sky, including Han Dong. Their gazes were filled with shock as they looked at Xiao Yan. The emotions in their hearts could not be described with words.
By relying on the strength of a five star Dou Di and Han Dong's Spiritual Pressure, he was actually able to block the aura and pressure of these four people. It was likely that no one in this world could do such a thing!
However, while they were shocked, Xiao Yan looked at them with a cold face. He turned his wrist and a glow flickered in his palm. Immediately, a scroll appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.
"Four sect leaders, the 'Sky End Steps' is currently in my hands. If you have the ability, come forward and take it."
Xiao Yan's hand held the scroll tightly and raised it above his head. His gaze was densely cold as it swept over the four people around him. The words that were spat out from his mouth caused them to immediately recover. Four eyes that were filled with a fiery heat instantly locked onto the scroll in Xiao Yan's hand.
"Sky End Steps!"
"Xiao Yan, quickly hand over the 'Sky End Steps'!"
"If you want to live, quickly hand over the 'Sky End Steps'!"
In the sky, the eyes of the four people were emitting a glow as they stared intently at the scroll in Xiao Yan's hand. They had waited for this day for too long. Finally, the 'Sky End Steps' had appeared in front of their eyes!
As long as they obtained the 'Sky End Steps', not only would they be able to open the 'Sky End Ancient Tomb', but they would also be able to borrow the mysterious power of the 'Sky End Steps' to greatly raise their fighting strength. They might even be able to leap to become the leader of the four large sects and suppress the other three large sects. How could they remain calm?
As they thought of this, the four of them could not wait to step forward and snatch the 'Sky End Steps' from Xiao Yan's hands.
However, the expression on Xiao Yan's face suddenly turned cold in the next moment. At the same time, the hand that was holding the scroll tightened. His gaze was dense as it swiftly swept over the four of them. After which, he cried out loudly.
"If you dare to step forward again, I will immediately destroy the 'Sky End Steps'!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yan's arm shook and the scroll in his hand also shook a couple of times. The surrounding four people were greatly alarmed when they saw this and hurriedly retreated in agitation. At the same time, their mouths repeatedly advised Xiao Yan not to destroy the 'Sky End Steps'.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan coldly laughed in his heart. He was merely trying to scare them but this group of people actually had such a huge reaction. It seemed that they were really concerned about this' Sky End Steps'!
Indeed, with such a heaven-defying agility Dou Technique, forget about them, it was likely that no one would be able to remain calm in their hearts.
"Xiao Yan, as long as you are willing to hand over the 'Sky End Steps', we can discuss everything. As long as you hand over the 'Sky End Steps', we can forget about everything that happened between us in the past!"
"Ah …"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face was filled with ridicule as he coldly laughed. They said that they would not mention it but how could Xiao Yan let them off so easily? After all these years, both parties had already reached a state where they would not rest until one of them was dead. Saying that they would forget about it now was too much of a cold laugh.
"Four sect leaders need not go through so much trouble. I will definitely not hand over the 'Sky End Steps'."
The gazes of the four people became dull. The killing intent in their hearts once again rose.
"However …"
"I can give you a choice."
Xiao Yan directly chose to ignore their gazes that were filled with killing intent as he continued speaking.
"One year later, I will be at the entrance of the 'Sky End Ancient Tomb'. If everyone is present at that time, I can join hands with all of you to open the entrance of the ancient tomb. Otherwise, you can also choose to not take anything away today and not obtain anything a year later."
"Are you threatening us?!"
"Didn't you also want to threaten us earlier?"
Xiao Yan retorted with a cold laugh.
Immediately, the four of them did not dare to make any more moves. Seeing that the 'Sky End Steps' was so close but they could not obtain it, the four of them were simply gnashing their teeth in anger.
The four of them were silent for a long time. After discussing with each other, they finally helplessly nodded their heads.
"Alright, we will do as you say. One year later, we will meet outside the 'Sky End Ancient Tomb'."
Seeing that the four of them nodded their heads, Xiao Yan's heart also heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled as he looked at Han Dong by the side. The two of them looked at each other and smiled before turning to leave.
"Wait."
But immediately after, the impatient voice rang out once again.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Han Dong's face darkened as they turned around again. Xiao Yan's extremely cold gaze directly landed on Chen Zhen. He was already extremely disgusted by this fellow's voice.
"We can promise you that we will meet outside the 'Sky End Ancient Tomb' a year later. However, can you guarantee that you will definitely go at that time?"
"What do you want?"
Xiao Yan's face darkened as he spoke in an impatient tone.
"Swear on the lightning penalty oath."
Once these words were spoken, the three people beside him also looked at Xiao Yan at the same time. Chen Zhen's worries were not without reason. Only when Xiao Yan swore on the lightning penalty oath could they truly believe the latter's words.
"Haha, alright, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Let's swear on the lightning penalty oath together, how about it?"
In the end, Xiao Yan grinned. His smile contained a hint of a strange smile. Hearing this, the four of them could not help but frown slightly. However, in the end, they still let out a deep breath and said:
"Alright."
