111. Speed Challenge
Seeing Lu Huangtian still absorbing the puppet's energy to continuously improve himself, everyone understood: the reason why the Echo Sect used puppets as a shield and passively resisted fighting when they were at Xiangxi Mountain was something that the Xuanwen Sect had seen but did not interfere with.
The Xuanwen Sect doesn't know how Lu Huangtian was able to absorb the blood and qi of the puppet after it killed someone. If Lu Huangtian is allowed to continue absorbing it now, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xiao Yan, He Kui, Yang Yue, Wan Baishan, and the others exchanged glances and realized the seriousness of the situation.
At this moment, there is nothing to hold back.
"Flames Divide and Devour the Waves!"
"Netherworld Blood Hand!"
"Azure Python Light!"
"Crimson Flame Arrow!"
A series of terrifying attacks kept rushing towards Lu Huangtian, but at this moment, the people of Xuanwen Sect had already begun to gather and continuously used defenses to help Lu Huangtian resist the attacks.
Lu Huangtian himself was also extremely cunning, constantly moving his position and using the puppets around him to defend against attacks after they locked onto him.
Once the puppet shatters, it will be immediately absorbed into powder by him, and in the process, Lu Huangtian's aura begins to rise continuously.
"Xiao Yan, He Kui, don't worry, your deaths are just around the corner!"
Xiao Yan and He Kui's expressions were also somewhat gloomy as they looked at the situation. The attack just now was hardly a matter of holding back. Although it was able to injure Lu Huangtian, it obviously could not stop his actions.
His movements as he absorbed the puppets remained swift, and his aura continued to rise. It was foreseeable that after a period of time, even Xiao Yan and He Kui combined might not be a match for Lu Huangtian.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, looked at the puppets scattered all over the ground, and his crimson red lotus karmic fire rose continuously, rushing directly into the group of puppets.
Since Lu Huangtian wants to absorb the energy from these puppets, I will destroy them all!
The Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame was the absolute nemesis of these genius puppets of the Myriad Beasts Society who had been forcibly imprisoned. Xiao Yan's attacks precisely crushed each and every puppet.
Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, He Kui immediately understood Xiao Yan's purpose, and he also gathered his fighting spirit again and rushed towards Lu Huangtian.
Xiao Yan was trying to destroy the puppet as quickly as possible, but since he didn't have a different kind of fire like Xiao Yan, he was much slower at destroying the puppet than Xiao Yan.
Therefore, the best option for him was naturally to stop Lu Huangtian himself and buy Xiao Yan as much time as possible.
"Sect Master Lu, our duel is not over yet!" He Kui shouted, his hands swirling with black energy as he continued to charge towards Lu Huangtian.
He Kui also had his own pride. Lu Huangtian was able to ignore him during their duel and forcefully launch a sneak attack on Xiao Yan, which was naturally a very humiliating thing for him.
Looking at He Kui rushing towards him and Xiao Yan constantly burning the puppet with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Lu Huangtian's eyes flashed with undisguised impatience.
However, his movements also quickened considerably; a Dou Zong-level puppet could be absorbed in just one or two breaths.
Taking advantage of the break, Xiao Yan saw Lu Huangtian's progress and was secretly shocked. He quickened his own movements. After advancing to the Dou Zun realm, Xiao Yan felt that every strike he made was effortless. For the first time, he experienced the terror of the Dou Zun realm.
However, time did not allow him to savor the moment. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire erupted tirelessly from his hands, reaping the lives of numerous puppets.
The puppets of Dou Huang are basically melted upon contact, and even the puppets at the Dou Zong level can only last two or three rounds in Xiao Yan's hands before collapsing.
The puppets were no match for Xiao Yan's progress. The energy fed back by the Red Lotus Karmic Flame continuously returned to Xiao Yan's body, and as the quantity increased, Xiao Yan felt his level continuing to rise.
Aside from the occasional trouble caused by the Xuanwen Sect members, no one could affect Xiao Yan's progress. The other members of the Echo Sect and Xiangxi Mountain, seeing Xiao Yan's current state, dared not interfere. The fearless puppets were being slaughtered like toys in Xiao Yan's hands; what difference would it make if they went up against him?
Even the people of the Xuanwen Sect, after several encounters with Xiao Yan, dared not approach his route, since anyone who went there would surely die with no chance of survival.
Lu Chen took advantage of this time to recover some of his fighting spirit, and looking at Xiao Yan at this moment, he felt both jealousy and fear.
He vividly remembered that when the battle had just begun, Xiao Yan was in a rather disheveled state when facing him, but the strength that Xiao Yan had displayed had already made him feel fear.
"No wonder Lu Zhi lost to you!"
Lu Chen was extremely upset at this moment. Both Xiao Yan's girlfriend Xiao Xun'er's domineering abilities and the current Dou Zun Xiao Yan made him feel fear, but he also couldn't suppress his jealousy.
Previously, he had always been suppressed by Lu Zhi in the Xuanwen Sect. Although Lu Huangtian told him several times that Lu Zhi would eventually lose to him, Lu Chen was extremely dissatisfied. After absorbing the Emperor's Essence Fruit and advancing to the Dou Zun realm, his first thought was to eliminate Lu Zhi.
At that time, he advanced to the Dou Zun realm and was confident that there were few people in the Northwest Region who could rival him, let alone the younger generation. He was certain that he would become the strongest among the younger generation in the Northwest Region.
However, this peak strength only lasted for a very short time before being ruthlessly broken by Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan.
At this moment, everyone understood that Xiao Yan, who was able to dodge Lu Huangtian's sneak attack and change the entire battle situation, was the true number one among the younger generation in the Northwest Region!
However, this number one person is simply too terrifying. In the past, the Northwest Region has had its share of prodigies every now and then, but as strong as they were, the discussions about them only focused on their future achievements. No matter how strong they were, their strength lay only in that future with infinite possibilities.
But Xiao Yan has now proven with his actions that he is not only the number one among the younger generation, but also one of the strongest in the Northwest Region!
Looking at Xiao Yan amidst the slaughter, Lu Chen felt an overwhelming jealousy and forcibly gathered his fighting spirit, preparing to step forward and fight.
He had just taken a step forward, intending to intercept Xiao Yan, when Xiao Yan turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
When Lu Chen met Xiao Yan's gaze, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. As a Dou Zun, he was startled by Xiao Yan's gaze and broke out in a cold sweat.
The step that had just been taken was awkwardly withdrawn.
After glancing at Lu Chen, Xiao Yan did not stop what he was doing. He had indeed noticed Lu Chen's unusual behavior, but killing a Dou Zun expert would take up a lot of time. This would give Lu Huangtian a lot of time to absorb the puppets.
On the other side, Lu Huangtian grew stronger by absorbing the puppet's aura, and even when he occasionally took the time to retaliate against He Kui, it made He Kui quite uncomfortable.
"This is still not good!"
