The Xingdou Great Forest, this vast and mysterious place, has always been the cradle of life and the abode of the soul. The ancient trees are towering, and the luxuriant branches and leaves are like a canopy, covering the sky tightly. The sunlight can only pass through the gaps between the layers of leaves, casting fine and mottled light and shadows, like golden fish scales spread on the ground.
The forest is filled with a faint mist, which is the embodiment of the forest's spiritual energy, like a dream, like a fairyland. Rare flowers and plants compete with each other in this hazy mist, colorful and fragrant, attracting bees and butterflies.
Occasionally, the majestic roar of soul beasts could be heard in the distance, humming the ancient and mysterious rhythm of the forest, adding a bit of wildness and primitiveness to it.
However, at this moment, this peaceful paradise was broken by a thrilling battle. In an open space deep in the forest, the air was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed to be real.
Di Tian, the overlord who once ruled the stars, was now seriously injured and lay dying in a pool of blood.
His body was covered with shocking wounds, and blood was gushing out, dyeing the surrounding land dark red. His eyes, which once shone with majesty, still retained a trace of stubbornness and unwillingness, but his weak body made him unable to fight again. He could only watch the enemy approaching, and the shadow of death shrouded him like a haze.
In mid-air, Xiao Yan was like a god of war descending from the sky, with a figure as tall and straight as green pine and cypress, and his black robe fluttering like a flag flying in the dark night.
His eyes were cold and resolute, locked onto Zhongli Wu not far ahead like a cold star. The iconic Xuanzhong ruler in his hand was burning with flames, and the jumping flames seemed to be eagerly expressing his desire for a fight, as well as demonstrating to the enemy, declaring his own great reputation.
"It's actually an evil soul master?"
"What do they want to do by attacking these ferocious beasts?"
"Never mind, let's save them first."
Looking at Ye Xishui and others not far away, Xiao Yan knew that the situation was critical and urgent. His eyes focused and the powerful fighting spirit in his body surged like a surging tide. He held the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler tightly with both hands, and the veins on his arms bulged like a winding dragon, showing his determination to go all out at this moment.
As the flame on the ruler grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, the orange-red flame instantly transformed into an extremely gorgeous ray of fire, dazzling and brilliant, as if a sharp blade could cut through the sky. The scorching heat caused the surrounding air to twist violently, and the diffuse mist instantly dissipated into nothingness. The flowers and plants on the ground also withered and died in an instant, turning into charcoal.
"Flame Devouring Wave Ruler!"
Xiao Yan suddenly shouted loudly, his voice like a bell, echoing throughout the entire forest, shaking the surrounding trees and making their branches and leaves rustle.
Then, he used all his strength to swing the ruler violently, chopping it hard at Zhongli Wu and the Bone Dragon King under his feet.
Wherever the ruler passed, the air was instantly ignited, forming a majestic flame channel, like a roaring fire dragon, pouncing on the enemy with bared fangs and claws, ready to burn all obstacles to ashes. The space along the way was burned by the high temperature and rippled, as if a huge rock was thrown into the lake. The whole world seemed to tremble under this blow, as if it would collapse and shatter in the next second.
Zhongli Wu was originally immersed in the pride of killing Di Tian, with a cruel and twisted smile on his face. However, Xiao Yan's sudden and powerful attack instantly turned his face as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of fear and disbelief.
He hurriedly drove the Bone Dragon King to resist. The Bone Dragon King felt the fatal threat coming towards him, and let out a deafening roar, then opened his bloody mouth and spurted out a dark soul beam. In this beam, there was a faint black vortex spinning wildly, emitting a powerful devouring force, as if it was a devil's hand from the endless dark abyss, trying to suck all of Xiao Yan's attacks into it and turn them into nothing.
The flame and the light beam collided violently in mid-air.
In an instant, a deafening roar broke the silence of the space, as if thunder exploded in the ears, or like the collapse of the sky and the earth, making people's ears buzzing and their heads dizzy, as if the whole world was plunged into chaos and noise.
Then, a dazzling light burst out. The light was so strong that people could not open their eyes at all. It seemed that the whole world was filled with this dazzling light. Everything around was drowned in this light. All they could see was a vast white scene and they could not tell the directions.
The powerful energy fluctuations, centered at the collision point, spread wildly in all directions like surging waves.
Wherever it went, disaster struck. Those tall, straight, rock-hard ancient trees were uprooted like fragile matchsticks under the impact of this force, and some were even broken in half. The broken trunks made a crackling sound, and wood chips flew everywhere, as if it was raining wood chips.
The huge rocks were not spared either. Under the crushing force, they were instantly crushed into powder, raising a cloud of dust, causing visibility on the battlefield to drop to an extremely low level, as if it were in chaos. The ground was torn into hideous and terrifying cracks, which spread out like the bloody mouths of giant beasts, as if they were about to swallow up everything in the world. One look at them filled people with fear, as if the end of the world had come.
Xiao Yan flashed, and with the impact of the collision, he instantly appeared on the side of the Bone Dragon King like a ghost. His movements were light and agile, as if he was gliding in the air, and in the blink of an eye he was in the best position for attack. The whole process was done in one go, without the slightest delay, showing his superb fighting skills and agility.
At this moment, he held the Xuanzhong ruler in his hand horizontally, and the flames on the ruler, which were already extremely hot, now flowed slowly along the edge of the ruler, like a nimble fire snake, spitting out its tongue and exuding a dangerous breath, as if looking for the flaws of its prey and preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
Xiao Yan saw the right opportunity and swung the ruler without hesitation. With the whistling sound of the wind, the ruler was like a giant flaming sickle, fiercely sweeping towards the ribs of the Bone Dragon King. If this attack hits, relying on the high temperature of the flame and the powerful force of the ruler itself, it is very likely to break the ribs of the Bone Dragon King, thereby disrupting its attack rhythm, causing it to fall into a brief chaos, and creating more attack opportunities for Xiao Yan.
After the Bone Dragon King sensed the danger on this side, he reacted instantly. He swung his huge tail violently at lightning speed, causing a whistling sound of wind. The sound was sharp and piercing, like the howl of death, which made people shudder.
The tail drew a black arc in the air, like an indestructible black steel whip, and whipped towards Xiao Yan. On the tail, a green light flashed, and each light contained a powerful force. If Xiao Yan was hit, his skin would be torn apart, and he might even be seriously injured and lose the strength to fight again, and be directly blown away by this powerful force.
Xiao Yan's eyes were stern. Facing this fierce attack, he was not panicked at all. After all, he had experienced countless battles and had already trained a strong heart that was not afraid of danger. He suddenly stepped his feet in the air. In an instant, it seemed that an invisible force burst out from under his feet, using the force to propel his body back high, and easily avoided the attack of the Bone Dragon King.
His figure drew a graceful arc in the air and landed steadily in the air not far away. The whole movement was smooth and natural, as if this fierce battle was just an easy drill for him.
After avoiding the attack, Xiao Yan did not stop at all. He knew very well that the battle was in full swing and he must not give the enemy a chance to breathe.
He slowly raised his hands, and two flames of different colors appeared in his palms. In the blink of an eye, a gorgeous and terrifying fire lotus quickly took shape in his hands.
Above the fire lotus, the flame took on strange colors, red with purple, and purple with black. The colors intertwined together, as if it was a devil flame from the depths of hell, emitting a terrifying breath.
The surrounding space became distorted due to the high temperature, as if mirrors were broken and irregular cracks appeared, as if the world could not withstand the power of the fire lotus, and as if once the fire lotus was released, it would burn everything in the world to ashes.
"Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!" Xiao Yan shouted, his voice full of power and determination. The voice echoed in the forest, as if announcing to the enemy that their doom was approaching. Then, he pushed with both hands and threw the fire lotus in his hand towards the Bone Dragon King.
As the fire lotus flew in the air, it kept spinning and expanding. Its power seemed to increase with every rotation. Wherever it passed, the space was burned with shocking black cracks. The cracks were like dark mouths, as if the world was torn open, exuding a creepy breath that made people fear at the first sight.
Zhongli Wu was horrified when he saw this scene. He knew that the power of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus was extraordinary. Once hit, the Bone Dragon King would be seriously injured and even his life might be in danger. He anxiously urged the Bone Dragon King to dodge. The Bone Dragon King also felt the fatal threat coming towards him. His huge body twisted hard in the air, trying to avoid this terrifying attack.
However, the speed of the Fire Lotus was too fast, like a burning meteor, and it was close in the blink of an eye. The Bone Dragon King had no time to completely dodge.
There was a loud bang, and the sound made the entire Star Forest tremble, as if the earth was shaking under the impact.
The fire lotus exploded on the back of the Bone Dragon King, instantly emitting a dazzling light that even overshadowed the sun's brilliance, illuminating the forest as bright as day. The originally dim forest was now as bright as day, and everything was covered by the light and clearly visible. The powerful explosion was like a raging tsunami, sweeping in all directions, shaking the Bone Dragon King's huge body forward several meters, and it fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
A huge burn mark appeared on the Bone Dragon King's back, and the black bones were faintly cracked. Strands of black soul power drifted out from the cracks. It let out a painful roar, and the sound echoed in the forest, full of pain and anger, as if telling Xiao Yan about its unwillingness and resentment.
Xiao Yan took advantage of the situation and swung the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler in his hand again. This time, he used a set of exquisite ruler techniques, and the ruler seemed to come alive in his hands, and every movement was full of agility and charm.
He first lifted the ruler lightly. That seemingly simple lift seemed to contain a tremendous force. When the ruler was lifted, it seemed as if it could lift a mountain and attack the Bone Dragon King's vital parts. If hit, the Bone Dragon King's already injured body would probably be even worse.
Then, Xiao Yan turned his wrist, and the ruler stabbed out like an extremely sharp spear. It was as fast as lightning and accurately stabbed towards the Bone Dragon King's flaw. The momentum seemed to pierce the Bone Dragon King in one fell swoop, making it completely lose its combat effectiveness.
In just a moment, the Bone Dragon King collapsed under Xiao Yan's attack, turning into countless fragments and dissipating between heaven and earth. Its huge body could no longer pose a threat to him.
"Go to hell." With a low shout, Xiao Yan's eyes were cold. He turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the seriously injured Zhongli Wu.
Zhongli Wu was in a miserable state at the moment. His clothes had been burned to tatters by the high temperature of the Buddha's wrathful lotus, hanging on his body in shreds, revealing his severely burned skin, and even his bones in some places. Blood was constantly oozing out of the wounds, gathering on the ground into a dark red pool of blood.
His hair was also burnt and scattered messily on his face. His originally handsome face was now distorted and full of pain. His eyes were dull, but there was still a trace of fear and unwillingness to die.
However, just as Xiao Yan was about to approach Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao reacted instantly and without hesitation used their martial spirit bodies to come to the rescue.
Ye Xishui's martial soul, the Blood Soul Demon Puppet, instantly emerged. It was a terrifying puppet that was several feet tall, emitting a strong bloody smell all over its body. The dark red light surged like a substance, as if it was condensed from the resentment of countless wronged souls.
Its body is made of an unknown black metal engraved with strange runes, flashing a blood-red light from time to time. Its pair of empty eyes reveal endless death and evil. Its dancing hands raise bursts of blood mist, as if dragging everything around it into an endless abyss.
Long Xiaoyao's martial spirit, the Dark Holy Dragon, was even more majestic. A huge black dragon hovered in the air, blocking out the sky and the sun. Its body was like a black mountain, covered with extremely hard black scales, each of which flashed with a cold light, as if it could resist all attacks in the world.
The dragon's eyes were like two deep black holes, emitting a chilling breath. Black flames spurted out of its mouth from time to time. The flames were extremely hot. Wherever they went, the space seemed to be burned and distorted, making a sizzling sound. A pair of huge dragon wings spread out, and with a light flap, they created a gust of wind that uprooted the surrounding trees.
When Xiao Yan saw this, his eyes narrowed, knowing that the next battle would be even more difficult.
He swung his right hand violently, a ray of light flashed, and the small figure of Bingdi, emitting a strong cold aura, instantly appeared on the scene.
As soon as the Ice Emperor appeared, the temperature around him dropped sharply, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed into ice crystals, which fluttered down. Her cute face was now full of seriousness, and her small hands quickly formed seals, instantly condensing a huge ice wall in front of her. Runes on the ice wall flickered, emitting a powerful defense to resist the attack of Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Holy Dragon.
Then, Xiao Yan muttered something and waved his hands. A holy white light slowly emerged, and within the light, the figure of the Snow Empress gradually became clear.
The Snow Queen has a beautiful face and cold eyes, like a fairy who is not in touch with the world. She is wearing a white dress, her long hair is fluttering, and she is surrounded by crystal clear snowflakes, each of which seems to contain mysterious power.
After the Snow Empress appeared, she waved her hands lightly, and countless snowflakes flew towards Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demon Puppet. The snowflakes continued to merge and grow during the flight, turning into sharp ice blades that poured down towards the Blood Soul Demon Puppet like a rainstorm. The ice blades hit the demon puppet, making a tinkling sound, splashing sparks, and covering the demon puppet in an atmosphere of coldness and sharpness.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yan moved as fast as lightning and instantly approached Zhongli Wu who was seriously injured and lying on the ground.
At this time, Zhongli Wu was already at the end of his strength, lying on the ground with his breath barely remaining, his eyes full of fear and despair. Looking at Xiao Yan who was approaching quickly, he wanted to struggle to get up and resist, but found that his body was completely out of control. Every movement caused him excruciating pain. He could only watch Xiao Yan approach step by step, and the shadow of death quickly spread in his heart.
The Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body was running wildly, gathering on his right fist. His muscles were tense and veins were bulging, like angry little snakes slithering under his skin. His fist was flashing with a faint light, and the air around him was squeezed by the powerful force and made a sizzling sound, as if wailing for the impending fatal blow.
"Baji collapse!"
Xiao Yan suddenly shouted loudly, his voice was like a bell, resounding all around, and wherever the sound waves reached, the sand and stones on the ground were shaken and jumped slightly. Then, he used his right foot as the axis, and his body quickly rotated, driving his right fist like a cannonball, with unparalleled power and speed, smashing down fiercely towards Zhongli Wu's chest.
This punch contained Xiao Yan's anger towards evil, his persistence in justice, and his own strong strength and belief. The moment the fist touched Zhongli Wu's chest, it seemed as if time had stopped for a moment, and then a terrifying force instantly erupted.
Zhongli Wu's chest seemed to be hit by a huge meteorite, his ribs broke instantly, making a crisp snapping sound, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. During the flight, blood spurted out of his mouth like a blooming blood flower, falling into the air and forming a tragic blood mist.
A moment later, Zhongli Wu's body fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and a deep pit was smashed into the ground. He lay in the pit, his eyes wide open, full of unwillingness and fear, but there was no trace of life left.
