What would happen if Xiao Yan, a six-star Dou Zun, clashed directly with a Spirit Clan expert also at the six-star Dou Zun level?
Completely one-sided!
After receiving the attack, the six-star Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan was directly blasted away by Xiao Yan's Mountain-Splitting Seal. Xiao Yan's attacks were always sharp, and the Spirit Clan Dou Zun was not prepared for this from the very beginning of the battle.
In addition, Xiao Yan's physical strength has been strengthened time and time again, especially after being tempered by the Thunder Hammer of Heavenly Thunder Forging Spirit, making him completely different from before.
However, Xiao Yan still felt a little regretful. If he had Wei Jiangyuan's speed and could strike first after being caught off guard in battle, the Spirit Clan member might have suffered a considerable loss under his Emperor Seal Technique.
Although he did succeed in his attack, the Spirit Clan Dou Zun reacted in time. He was knocked away by Xiao Yan, but most of his power was actually neutralized.
However, based on this one strike and his companion's reaction, Xiao Yan was already able to confirm that although the Spirit Clan Dou Zun in front of him was middle-aged and his strength was a genuine six-star Dou Zun, their level was definitely not something they had achieved by fighting one punch at a time. Such experts were fundamentally different from those who had truly fought their way up.
If it's just a simple sparring match, this weakness won't be apparent, but when it comes to a life-or-death struggle, they are certainly no match for someone of the same level.
Having grasped the situation, Xiao Yan had already begun to formulate a rough idea for dealing with this confrontation. While he was thinking, his hands didn't stop moving.
Upon seeing this, another member of the Spirit Clan felt a surge of apprehension. This seemingly only three-star Dou Zun was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.
He already gripped his blade and slashed straight down at Xiao Yan, a dark arc of light flashing out instantly. Xiao Yan activated his Crimson Lotus Heart Flame, which condensed into a large fiery ruler in his hand.
"Flames Divide and Devour the Waves!"
This close-quarters combat was extremely dangerous. Although the Spirit Clan members lacked combat experience, their fighting skills were by no means inferior to Xiao Yan's. Two powerful attacks erupted, unleashing massive waves of flame, but ultimately, Xiao Yan's attack was suppressed by the Spirit Clan's six-star Dou Zun.
Seeing this, the Spirit Clan Dou Zun smiled smugly. The blade light in his hand continued to gather, and the next moment, Xiao Yan ignored the violent explosion and his slash, appearing before him like a ghost.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's entire body appeared somewhat illusory, and he didn't look quite real to the naked eye.
Mid-level Earth Rank, Shadowy Appearance!
"Doesn't this guy need to avoid the epicenter of the explosion at all?"
This idea immediately popped into the mind of the Spirit Clan Battle Venerable. After all, people usually try to avoid the energy at the center of an explosion; who would actually try to withstand it with their body like that? What's the point?
The Spirit Clan Dou Zun's doubts were immediately answered. Xiao Yan naturally did not rush over recklessly. His previous actions, which defied common sense, had given him the upper hand in this battle. His soul power condensed, and the soul needle shadows were even faster than he himself!
Seeing the reckless look in Xiao Yan's eyes, the Spirit Clan Dou Zun was not convinced at all, but his actions still revealed that he was intimidated by Xiao Yan.
He abandoned the idea of concentrating his sword energy and switched from offense to defense, using a protective barrier forged from spiritual energy to shield him.
Puff puff……
The faint, clashing sounds of souls clashing continued unabated. At this moment, the Spirit Clan Battle Venerable thought to himself, "You just wait!"
Xiao Yan was unaware of his true feelings, but he responded to his thoughts in a simpler and more direct way.
Heavenly Ruler, Shattered Abyss!
This move was the most ruthless, the fiery ruler formed from the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame directly piercing through the Spirit Clan Battle Venerable's defenses.
Seeing his sacrificed defense pierced through by Xiao Yan's foot, the Spirit Clan Dou Zun, in his anger, could only retreat while continuing to try to find a way to resist.
He had only taken three steps back when he found that his steps had become extremely difficult, as a surge of spiritual power was pulling him from beneath his feet.
At this moment, the only one who can influence him is his opponent, Xiao Yan.
Soul Flow Black Vortex!
This soul skill was the first to appear, beginning to disrupt the Spirit Clan's next move. Whether they wanted to escape or continue fighting, Xiao Yan could move freely. This was the real reason he insisted on ignoring the first wave of attacks even while activating Shadow Step—to firmly control the rhythm of the attack.
The moment Xiao Yan released his soul skill, he glanced at the direction where the Spirit Clan members had fallen, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Following the Soul Flow Black Vortex, a truly dark and terrifying abyss, far more powerful than any Soul Skill, suddenly bloomed behind the Spirit Race, radiating devouring power!
After Xiao Yan was able to use the Black Flame, he also regained the ability to use the Devouring Power. Now, the combination of Soul Flow Black Vortex and Devouring Power is showing its power for the first time in his hands.
The Soul Skill Pavilion of the Pill Tower has an abundant collection, but Xiao Yan still chose the Soul Flow Black Vortex from among the many soul skills, wanting to use it in conjunction with his Devouring Power.
And this first use certainly did not disappoint Xiao Yan; the Devouring Power completely disrupted the Spirit Clan Dou Zun's movement. Now, under the dual threat of the Devouring Power and the Soul Flow Black Vortex, his opponent is in grave danger.
The Spirit Clan member had good eyesight and clearly knew that the Devouring Power was more dangerous, but now he had no chance of falling into the Soul Stream Black Vortex. This was because the two abilities in Xiao Yan's hands had formed a perfect combination; the Soul Stream Black Vortex was only meant to control his body, and everything was for the purpose of completely devouring this Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan into the void black hole.
Under this control, Xiao Yan's spiritual soul still had reserves of power. The Crimson Lotus Heart Flame slowly ignited in his hand, and the Wind-Summoning Palm was ready. In his own attack rhythm, Xiao Yan didn't mind unleashing his Dou Techniques continuously to kill the Spirit Clan Dou Zun in front of him on the spot.
Seeing himself about to be dragged into that endless abyss, the Spirit Clan Battle Venerable felt a chill run down his spine and roared at those behind him, "Spirit Gate, isn't it ready yet? I'm about to die!"
As the Spirit Clan Dou Zun cried for help, the Dou Zun who had been blasted away by Xiao Yan at the beginning finally revealed his true form.
"Hahaha, seeing you in such a sorry state is truly amusing."
The gray light spots that Xiao Yan had already encountered twice began to emerge from the void, clearly another signature fighting technique of the Spirit Clan—Void Restriction. The previous Spirit Clan Dou Zun naturally wouldn't collapse after a single punch from Xiao Yan; he was simply looking for an opportunity to release Void Restriction. Now, Xiao Yan felt his movements being suppressed and restricted once again.
