The emerald green energy light seal in Xiao Yan’s hand grew increasingly dazzling. Eventually, it looked like a substantial palm-sized handprint, extremely mysterious. Even the old specter of the earth demon, sensing the immense energy taking shape in Xiao Yan’s hands, showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. With merely the strength of a four-star Battle Emperor, he could actually perform such a powerful attack, which even peak-level experts would find difficult to achieve. This guy… indeed, as Han Feng had said, possesses mighty and powerful combat techniques. However, if he thinks that this alone will defeat me, perhaps this dream is too naive…
While the old specter of the earth demon was sneering in his heart, the light seal in Xiao Yan’s hand finally solidified. Eyeing the former with a fierce gaze, his bones wings behind him vibrated slightly, prepared to dodge at any moment. But his hand did not pause; instead, he emitted a cold shout, lashing out fiercely at the old specter.
“Bang!”
The emerald green energy handprint slowly detached from Xiao Yan’s palm. At the moment it detached, the space around Xiao Yan violently undulated under the terrifying energy, spreading out ripples like waves on water…
As soon as the energy handprint left Xiao Yan’s palm, it trembled violently, and its figure strangely disappeared, leaving only a fine emerald green ray of light that pierced through the space silently and shot at the old specter.
For ordinary strong individuals, this kind of stealthy movement might be unexpected, but for a strong entity like the old specter, it would hardly take him off guard, as all of its movements were clearly visible to him.
“Hmph!”
The old specter glared coldly at the energy handprint transforming into a ray of light and swooping down, making no effort to avoid it. His pride did not allow him to dodge when facing a mere Battle Emperor.
The speed of the energy handprint was extremely swift. Just as those below were still dazed, it suddenly appeared a few feet above the old specter’s head, releasing the terrible energy hidden within the strange emerald green crystal handprint…
Blinding emerald green light radiated, causing many people to hurriedly close their pained eyes. Simultaneously, the repressed energy surged down, sending everyone’s hearts racing with fear. Could such a terrifying energy really be summoned by a Battle Emperor?
The sudden burst of the crystal-layer handprint made the old specter’s face imperceptibly tremble. He seemed to have discovered that he still underestimated Xiao Yan’s attack. Although things didn’t go as expected, he wasn’t rattled. With a thought, a vast black cold aura erupted from his body…
The blinding emerald green light hung in the sky like a radiant sun, remaining silent for a moment before abruptly contracting, followed by a deafening energy explosion ringing out in the heavens like a bolt of lightning from the ninth heaven!
“Boom!”
The abrupt thunderclap instantly plunged everyone’s ears into a buzzing, with some weak individuals even growing dizzy and faint. When they came to, they quickly raised their heads, only to see a mushroom cloud of enormous emerald green fire rising, while the old specter’s figure vanished without a trace, clearly enveloped within the scorching emerald green energy filled with terrifying violent power…
The entire inner court fell into a much quieter state. Gazing at the magnificent emerald green energy mushroom cloud in the sky, almost everyone’s heart was filled with awe for the black-robed young man. Such terrifying power truly deserved to be the legendary figure within the inner court…
In the sky, Xiao Yan covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his face a bit pale. Though he was already a four-star Battle Emperor, performing the Sea Overturning Seal still required considerable Dou Qi. Thankfully, unlike before, he wouldn’t exhaust all his Dou Qi after a single use.
Xiao Yixian moved to Xiao Yan’s side, her gaze tightly fixed on the massive energy mushroom cloud. She spoke in a deep voice, “Be careful, though your attack was powerful, it’s impossible to defeat him…”
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, well aware that the Sea Overturning Seal allowed him to dominate among Battle Emperors and even fight with Battle Sects of slightly lower strength. However, the old specter of the earth demon was not an ordinary Battle Sect but a formidable one at the seven-star level.
Under countless gazes, the giant energy mushroom cloud in the sky finally dissipated, revealing a massive black energy barrier beneath it…
Gazing at the energy barrier with innumerable small cold vortexes swirling on its surface, Xiao Yan and Little Healer Immortal both clenched their fists. This old monster was indeed troublesome.
In the quiet and heavy atmosphere, the huge black energy vortex gradually faded, and the old specter of the earth demon once again appeared under the watchful eyes of Xiao Yan and the others.
At that moment, the earth demon’s robe remained neat, with not a single strand of hair out of place. His ghastly eyes, like ghostly flames, stared coldly at Xiao Yan. In a faint, unmasked sarcastic tone, he said, “This is your ace? If this is all you’ve got, then I’ll collect your life today on behalf of Dialect and the other two…”
As he spoke, the old specter discreetly withdrew his withered hand into his sleeve. No one saw that, at that moment, the back of his hand was smeared with fresh blood. Clearly, blocking Xiao Yan’s Sea Overturning Seal had not left him unharmed, despite appearances.
With these words, the old specter’s eyes flared with murderous intent. His gaze locked onto Xiao Yan, his figure trembling and then vanishing ominously.
As the old specter disappeared, both Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan’s faces changed. The latter first spread his bone wings, fiercely flapped, and vanished. Just as he disappeared, black cold claws emerged from the air, but grabbed nothing.
“You slippery brat!” Missing his attack, the old specter’s killing intent grew. Before he could attack Xiao Yan again, a fierce gust of putrid wind suddenly assailed him from behind.
“Humph!”
Feeling the attack from behind, the old specter sneered and turned, his palms striking out. They collided with a pair of slim, white, jade-like hands.
“Bang!”
A shocking energy wave surged out from where the four palms met, like a tide. Then, the two figures trembled, separating quickly. The old specter’s shoulders only twitched, while Xiao Yixian’s face paled, clearly no match for him in a direct confrontation.
After forcing Xiao Yixian back, the old specter turned, his face murderous, and pursued Xiao Yan, apparently harboring a grudge for the previous injury.
Seeing the old specter chasing him, Xiao Yan’s face changed. He urgently flapped his bone wings, his feet shimmering with blinding silver light. Each time a low thunderclap resonated, a shadow would flash across the sky, but these shadows would be torn apart by the closely following old specter in the next moment.
In the sky, two blurry figures flashed like lightning, while the crowd could only see the shadows. Even some Battle Emperors could only vaguely discern the true figures…
Watching Xiao Yan continuously evading the old specter’s pursuit, Xiao Yixian’s face also changed. Her eyes flashed with determination, she gritted her teeth, and her slender hands quickly formed strange seals. As the seals changed, her aura rapidly surged…
In the sky, Xiao Yan’s figure appeared as if by teleportation, pausing for just an instant before flitting away again. During this non-stop evasion, sweat beaded on his forehead. This chase-and-escape required intense concentration, taxing his spirit. Any slip for a second or two could result in a fatal attack…
As his figure once again flashed to escape the relentless chase, Xiao Yan readied to continue fleeing, but a white shadow appeared behind him, like a phantom. The overwhelming aura made the old specter pause, gazing at the snow-white-haired, graceful form of Xiao Yixian with a cautious and serious look. Though he didn’t know what had happened, he knew that Xiao Yixian was much stronger now. Yet, compared to him, she was still significantly weaker.
Seeing Xiao Yixian’s sudden surge in power, Xiao Yan clenched his fist. He understood that she had likely unsealed the calamity-toxin body again, granting her a massive boost in strength, but also shortening the time until the toxin’s eruption…
“Let me handle it…” Xiao Yixian’s voice was soft, her long, snow-white hair fluttering in the breeze.
Gazing at her lithe and captivating figure, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered, “Hold him off for a moment, and the rest, leave to me!”
Xiao Yixian was briefly stunned, glancing at the young man. In his dark eyes, a madness flickered, a madness that even made her heart quiver. What was this man planning now?
