Currently, there were still two days before the closing of the 'Obsidian Tower'. The purpose of the South Hall Chief was here was to prevent Xiao Yan from walking out of the 'Obsidian Tower'.
At this moment, the distance between the two of them was less than a hundred steps. However, it was this distance of a hundred steps that would determine Xiao Yan's life and death.
The South Hall Chief wanted to rely on the strength of the 'Obsidian Tower' to suppress Xiao Yan until he died. In this way, not only would he be able to save a lot of effort, but he would also be able to complete the mission that the Hall Chief had given him. He would also have the opportunity to obtain everything that Xiao Yan currently possessed.
The South Hall Chief would naturally not easily let go of such a good thing.
It was quite a coincidence. If it was not because the crime that Xiao Yan had committed happened to be within his jurisdiction, it was likely that the latter's appearance would have swiftly spread throughout the entire northern wasteland. At that time, it would be unknown just whose hands these treasures would land in.
From his point of view, although Xiao Yan's fighting strength was extraordinary, a seven star Dou Di was ultimately a seven star Dou Di. Regardless of how Xiao Yan resisted, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to be a match for him.
With Xiao Yan's current fighting strength, he was already comparable to an intermediate level expert among the nine star Dou Di. It must be said that this kind of fighting strength that surpassed one's level could already be considered extremely frightening. However, there was still a great gap in front of an expert at the peak of the advanced level Dou Di class.
"Hmph, brat, weren't you very fierce earlier? Why have you ended up in such a state now? You have actually been injured by the pressure within the tower until this state."
The corner of the South Hall Chief's mouth was lifted into a cold smile. Regardless of how strong one's fighting strength was, one's cultivation was ultimately unable to keep up. Under the frightening pressure within the tower, it was unavoidable for one to suffer some injuries. In this way, he was even more confident in being able to keep Xiao Yan here!
However, when he said this, he had forgotten about the embarrassing situation he had been in in the tower.
"Ha …"
Hearing the South Hall Chief's mocking laughter, Xiao Yan laughed mockingly. If he did not want to ascend the stairs to the seventh level, what could the pressure within the tower do to him?
"South Hall Master, are you waiting for me here because I haven't beaten you enough?"
Xiao Yan coldly smiled. His pale-white face gradually recovered its sleek redness under the effect of the medicinal pill. The remaining Dou Qi within his body slowly began to circulate. Although his condition was not at his peak, there was nothing for him to be afraid of when facing the Southern Hall Chief.
"Hmph, that's right. I want to see how many more surprises you can bring me."
The South Hall Master smirked, his face cold and unfeeling.
"Surprise? Hehe, I'm afraid that you'll turn the surprise into a shock. "
Xiao Yan sneered. As long as his opponent was not an Origin Transformation expert, he did not fear them at all. With the Northern King present and the ten steel needles that he had condensed from the power of the Way, he felt a little more confident.
"Sharp-tongued brat. Since you want to die, I'd like to see just how you'll leave this place!"
With a cold cry, the South Hall Master waved his hand and the Bing Nan Hammer appeared in his hand. He swung the hammer and smashed it into the ground in front of him. A violent explosion shook the entire city as a terrifying wave of energy swept out. In the blink of an eye, the entire square had been reduced to ruins. On the other hand, the Obsidian Tower in front of him remained unmoved.
Xiao Yan sat on the ground expressionlessly within the tower. He allowed the pressure above him to grow stronger and stronger. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to focus on refining the medicinal pill in his body.
Surprise involuntarily flashed across the face of the South Hall Chief when he saw this scene. Currently, the pressure within the 'Black Bright Tower' was becoming increasingly powerful. An ordinary elite Dou Di would not be able to endure for even a moment within it. Even a high class Dou Di would not be able to endure for long.
Xiao Yan was clearly injured at this moment. He knew that the Obsidian Tower was about to close, yet he still wanted to stay inside. Was he not seeking death?
"This brat, what exactly is he trying to do?"
The South Hall Master could not help but mutter to himself. He did not think that Xiao Yan was a foolish person. Was it possible for a fool to be able to raise his cultivation to such an extent at such a young age and possess a frightening fighting strength that surpassed an ordinary person?
It was obviously impossible.
However, the South Hall Master felt somewhat helpless in the current situation. The pressure within the tower was continuously increasing. Once he entered, his cultivation would definitely be suppressed. At that time, anything could happen. If Xiao Yan was prepared, he would have fallen into a trap.
Rather than that, it was better to wait patiently outside the tower. In short, as long as he could block the entrance of the Obsidian Tower, Xiao Yan would not be able to leave the Obsidian Tower no matter what tricks he had up his sleeves.
Time slowly flowed by as both parties waited. In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
At this moment, the medicinal pills within Xiao Yan's body had been completely refined. His originally pale face once again recovered a sleek redness. The breath in his nose had also gradually calmed down. His entire condition had also recovered by more than half.
At the same time, the pressure above Xiao Yan's head became even more terrifying.
Unafraid of the powerful pressure above his head, Xiao Yan's face remained calm. The corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile. His pitch-black eyes were slightly raised. His eyes were as deep as a well, giving off an unfathomable and sinister aura.
Standing up, he did not stop his anti-inflammatory actions. With steady footsteps, he walked toward the exit of the Obsidian Tower.
At the same time, the expression on the South Palace Master's face turned cold.
The hand holding the giant hammer tightened slightly. Dou Qi surged up and entered the hammer.
"Brat, are you prepared to die?"
The South Hall Master's voice was cold as ice.
"You want to stop me here? It's a pity that you are not an Origin Transformation expert. "
Xiao Yan smiled. His footsteps became even heavier. At this moment, the pressure within the tower had become a little stronger within a short couple of breaths. If he were to continue staying here, it was likely that even Xiao Yan would not be able to leave this place.
"Oh? You mean to say that only Origin Transformation experts can stop you? "
"Heh …"
Not knowing whether to laugh or not, Xiao Yan's body swiftly approached the exit.
"What a boastful brat. Do you really think that no one can do anything to you just because you have some ability? Get out of here! "
The South Hall Master coldly shouted. At the same time, Xiao Yan's figure had already appeared in front of the Obsidian Tower. He was only one step away from stepping out of the Obsidian Tower.
The giant hammer was swung from top to bottom, viciously smashing down on Xiao Yan's head.
At the same time that the giant hammer fell, the sharp sound of wind breaking continuously sounded. The sound of the sonic boom was endless, almost causing one's eardrums to burst.
A powerful Dou Qi energy emerged from the huge hammer, and a frightening imposing manner swept out in all directions. The color of the sky changed, and the wind and clouds swept out. The entire city had already attracted the attention of the people here.
Many people's expressions changed at this moment. Any Dou Di could feel the heaven-shaking killing intent contained in that aura. They felt fear from the bottom of their hearts toward the latter's strength.
What caused them to feel even more surprised and curious was just who exactly was this person that could cause a peak late stage Dou Di expert to face him in such a manner.
However, the expression on Xiao Yan's face was calm in the face of the South Hall Master's attack that was filled with strength. His calm manner appeared extremely strange. The wind pressure that came from the front caused the black robe he was wearing to tightly stick to the surface of his body. The expression on Xiao Yan's face did not change. Both of his eyes were still wide open as he stared intently at the giant hammer in front of him that was already within reach.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan smiled. The expression in his dark-black eyes suddenly became stern. At the same time, a light flashed across the Storage Ring on his finger in a lightning-like manner.
Almost at the same time, the Northern King, whose body was emitting a purple-gold glow like a metal tower, suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
The Northern King arched his body backward. Soon after, he violently swung his fist forward to meet the Bing Nan Hammer that was filled with an overbearing strength.
"Bang!"
When the attack landed, a frightening buzzing sound reverberated throughout the sky above Feng City. Everyone's body involuntarily trembled. Numerous gazes that were filled with shock were thrown over. Everyone's faces were filled with shock.
Very quickly, the crowd surged over. Countless gazes were like spotlights as they stared at the South Hall Master, who was currently standing in front of the Obsidian Tower Gate, and the Northern King, who was blocking the Bing Nan Hammer with a single punch.
"That … that is … the South Hall Master of the Northern Desolate Hall!"
"That is a nine star Dou Di!"
"Not only is he a nine star Dou Di, but he is also a peak late stage Dou Di. It is said that he has come to the Obsidian Tower this time around for the seventh floor. I wonder if he has managed to reach it."
"The seventh floor. Tsk tsk, that is a place that only Origin Transformation experts can reach. It has been so many years, but no one has been able to reach the seventh floor. It is really unexpected!"
"But who is that fellow who is currently exchanging blows with the South Hall Master? To be able to block the South Hall Master's hammer, I'm afraid that he is at least a peak late stage Dou Di!"
"Another peak advanced nine star Dou Di expert!"
"Hei, there will be a good show to watch now. The Northern Desolate Hall has dominated the entire Northern Desolate Region for a long time. Many factions do not like them. If it was not because …"
"Shut up. Be careful that a loose tongue causes trouble. Is the Northern Desolate Hall something that you can casually discuss?"
… …
The surrounding crowd immediately became chaotic when they saw the scene in the arena. Their discussions were filled with surprise at the Northern King.
"This … this is … a puppet?!"
At this moment, the South Hall Master, who was the main character in everyone's discussion, undoubtedly understood the situation he was currently facing.
The fellow who was currently exchanging blows with him was actually a humanoid puppet that did not have any aura. Its eyes were empty!
"Puppet? How can it be a puppet? If it is a puppet, how can it use the strength of lightning? "
The South Hall Master was extremely shocked. If the North King was just an ordinary puppet, it would not have been a big deal. However, what surprised him was that when the North King collided with the North King, an extremely powerful thunderbolt energy erupted from the North King's body. The thunderbolt energy was of great help to the North King in being able to block his hammer attack.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the sound of wind suddenly swept past the South Hall Master's ear. Soon after, a black figure quietly appeared beside him like a ghost.
"How can this brat's speed …"
The South Hall Master was instantly shocked. However, he did not dare to be careless in the face of Xiao Yan's attack. Relying on his familiarity with the giant hammer in his hand, the South Hall Master pulled his hand violently. The giant hammer was immediately pulled in front of him and forcefully blocked Xiao Yan's attack.
Following which, the South Hall Master's figure quickly retreated. Soon, he appeared at the edge of the arena.
In response, Xiao Yan did not follow up with another attack. Instead, Li Sheng stood in front of the Obsidian Tower and cautiously scanned the crowd. Finally, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he did not discover the East Hall Master and the West Hall Master.
The reason why he had waited for half a day was partly because he wanted to recover from the injuries within his body. The main reason was to avoid the presence of the East Hall Master and the West Hall Master.
Although the relationship between these three parties did not appear to be harmonious, they ultimately belonged to the same faction. At the end of the day, they were all in the same group. Once he and the South Hall Master started a big fight, their presence would definitely cause Xiao Yan a lot of trouble. After confirming that they had indeed left, Xiao Yan's heart naturally became much more relaxed.
If he only needed to face the South Hall Master alone, it would not be too difficult for him. Just the Northern King alone would be able to hold him back. There was no need to mention his frightening speed, which surpassed that of a nine star Dou Di.
"So this is the case. The reason why you did not attack earlier was because you were waiting for the two of them to leave."
The South Hall Master only came to a sudden understanding in his heart after noticing Xiao Yan's gaze. He curled his mouth. He was not concerned about this. If those two fellows were around, they would only become hungry wolves that would fight for his benefits.
"However, I am more curious. Why is this puppet of yours able to control the lightning strength? How can that kind of natural strength be used on an inanimate object? "
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders in an uncertain manner when he heard this. Honestly speaking, even he did not understand what was going on. However, this was no longer important to him. What was important was that he was able to control this strength. Xiao Yan nodded.
No matter how strong the power of the thunderbolt was, as long as the North King was in his hands, everything would naturally fall under his control.
The South Hall Master narrowed his eyes when he saw the expression on Xiao Yan's face. His pair of hair would occasionally size up the Northern King. Other than fear, there was also greed in his eyes.
A nine star Dou Di class puppet. If he could obtain it, in addition to the puppet that Xiao Yan possessed, it was likely that the person in charge of the Northern Desolate Hall would change hands.
Of course, he could only quietly think about this in his heart. After all, before he possessed that strength, it was impossible for him to shake that fellow's position.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan in front of him had become another large obstacle in his heart.
