626. Facing the Half-Saint
"The Celestial Ruler, Shaking the World!"
Faced with an opponent of Xuan Lei Zi's caliber, Xiao Yan's first choice was surprisingly to launch a preemptive attack.
Xiao Yan's thinking was simple: since his strength was already at a disadvantage, he should take the initiative to make a move, otherwise he would only be suppressed.
Having reached his current level, Xiao Yan could wield such Earth-rank Dou Techniques with ease; the space around him began to crumble under his horizontal slash. The cunning attack aimed directly at Xuan Lei Zi's neck; even a fellow six-star Dou Zun would find this strike difficult to handle at full power.
Xiao Yan's opponent is a half-saint.
"Hehe..." Xuan Leizi simply extended the middle and index fingers of his right hand, and Xiao Yan's full-force foot strike was instantly pinched by Xuan Leizi's two fingers.
"The strength is decent," Xuan Leizi said calmly. "Unfortunately, against a half-saint level expert, it's like an ant trying to shake a tree."
Having easily received Xiao Yan's attack, Xuan Leizi's brow rippled at the same time. The soul power of the Heavenly Realm above the Spirit Realm surged out like a tidal wave. The simple and direct soul impact brutally crushed Xiao Yan. The Heavenly Realm soul had become almost tangible. Xiao Yan felt as if he had been hit hard all over his body and was sent flying backward with a thud.
This attack made Xiao Yan fully realize the terrifying power of Xuan Lei Zi. Usually, his soul power was his weapon in battle, but Xuan Lei Zi was also an alchemist, and his soul level had even reached the Heavenly Realm. At this moment, Xiao Yan was inferior to Xuan Lei Zi in every aspect.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had reached the six-star Dou Zun level with the help of the power of the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the qualification to fight Xuan Lei Zi.
Of course, in the current battle, it is still a one-sided crushing victory for Xuan Leizi.
With all the Dou Sheng level experts in the Dan Tower under control, Xuan Lei Zi, a half-saint, guarding this place, formed an almost impenetrable defensive line.
It was precisely because Xuan Leizi was guarding this place that even though Xiao Yan had been so troublesome, Ling Haonan, who was the core of the people trapped in the Pill Tower, hadn't even lifted his eyelids.
Xiao Yan's injuries were quickly healed, but the clay puppet was rapidly being depleted by the attack.
Seeing Xiao Yan stand up again, Xuan Leizi was genuinely surprised. After all, even a six-star Dou Zun should have been seriously injured if not killed by his attack. It was remarkable that Xiao Yan was able to stand up again, and he seemed to be in good condition.
Xiao Yan's hands moved swiftly, almost leaving afterimages, and the light seal of the Emperor Seal Technique condensed in front of him.
Seeing this, Xuan Leizi threw another punch with a simple and straightforward manner. After reaching the Saint level, every movement he made contained the power to kill a Dou Zun.
Xuan Leizi seemed to completely disregard the distance between himself and Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's Emperor Seal Technique had just condensed to the third seal when it was shattered by Xuan Leizi. Xuan Leizi's palm strike, with the force of heaven, struck Xiao Yan squarely in the chest.
The creaking sound of his sternum breaking was clearly audible, and Xiao Yan couldn't suppress it any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The gap between a Dou Sheng and a Dou Zun is so terrifying that Xiao Yan couldn't even fight back. And the Xuan Lei Zi before him wasn't even a true Dou Sheng, but merely a Half-Saint, somewhere between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng.
However, due to the presence of the clay puppet, Xiao Yan couldn't feel any pain for the time being. On the contrary, Xuan Leizi's attack just now seemed somewhat strange to Xiao Yan.
An incredibly powerful aura instantly pressed down on Xiao Yan, causing almost every joint in his body to crack and creak. The stench of blood filled Xiao Yan's mouth.
Xiao Yan was indeed in a very bad state at this moment. Faced with such a gap, not to mention rescuing Xuan Yi and the others in the Pill Tower, once the clay puppet collapsed, Xiao Yan himself would be easily killed by Xuan Lei Zi in front of him.
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt the immense pressure from the Half-Saint Xuan Leizi, which also triggered his trump card, the Mysterious Black Flame, which had performed best tonight.
The appearance of that fiery black face, not unlike Xiao Yan's, did not disappoint him; it was completely unaffected by Xuan Lei Zi's half-saint level Dou Qi. It opened its abyssal maw, capable of swallowing all light, and began to frantically bite at Xuan Lei Zi.
Xuan Leizi merely frowned slightly as he looked at the menacing black flames before him.
An aura of savage beast erupted from Xuan Leizi, flames rose from his hands, and the terrifying heat began to shake the structure of the Pill Tower. Originally, the Pill Tower was indeed designed with its defensive capabilities in mind, but the limit envisioned at the time was only for Dou Sheng (Battle Saint).
Now that Xuan Leizi is a half-saint, he can naturally slightly shake the protection of the Pill Tower.
In fact, Xuan Lei Zi's greatest help to the Spirit Clan tonight was taking advantage of the moment when everyone at the Pill Gathering had relaxed afterward. He led the entire Spirit Clan to infiltrate the Pill Tower, and the battle only broke out when they were discovered by Elder Lin, the strongest member of the Pill Tower. Otherwise, the Spirit Clan's assault on the Pill Tower's headquarters would not have been as easy as it was tonight.
With the support of his Dou Sheng-level power, Xuan Lei Zi's flames actually managed to suppress Xiao Yan's invincible black flames head-on.
Under the immense pressure of that battle aura, the black flames were truly unable to break through. Then, Xuan Leizi's attack, at the level of a half-saint, arrived with a deafening roar. The terrifying force pierced through the black flames, but the clinging black flames immediately reformed and continued their relentless charge towards Xuan Leizi.
"Suppress!"
Xuan Leizi gathered his five fingers into a claw and directly sealed down the black flames. Under such immense force, the black flames also turned into a distorted vortex, trying to devour all the power released by Xuan Leizi.
"Can you devour all of my power?" Xuan Leizi said in a deep voice.
Xuan Leizi transformed his claws into palms, causing the steel floor of the Pill Tower to continuously sink. The brutal and direct force pressed down relentlessly, producing a sound that made one's teeth ache.
Black Flame was also suppressed and unable to move. It surged with resentment, but in the face of a huge difference in strength, many of its methods would be ineffective.
After releasing the black flames, Xiao Yan had a brief respite, but he was still under the control of the Void Restriction. He had used all his methods, but he couldn't find an opening.
Even Black Flame couldn't return; he was immobilized.
At this critical moment, a force not belonging to either side of the fierce battle suddenly shielded Xiao Yan from everything, and Xiao Yan suddenly felt his body receive a brief respite.
This moment of ease was incredibly precious. Xiao Yan unleashed all of his Dou Qi without reservation. A devouring power in his right hand was also fully activated, and a strange black flame phantom suddenly appeared behind him.
The black flames seemed to have received support and were no longer suppressed by Xuan Leizi.
Xiao Yan took out the jade bottle containing the essence blood of the Spirit Clan's descendants from his storage ring and drank it down without any hesitation!
