Chapter 24 Hehehehe, I love to stifle geniuses!
Chapter 24 Hehehehe, I love to stifle geniuses!
Fear quietly spread among the crowd. Although a great reward will surely attract brave men, the influence of the dark aura lowered their rationality.
But those present had all witnessed life-or-death battles, and their rationality quickly overcame greed and other emotions.
Some have even begun a strategic retreat.
call out!
Flames spread from beneath Xiao Yan's feet, and a line of fire quickly enveloped the entire Jialie tribe's territory, like a barrier.
Some, defying the odds, tried to escape, but were instantly reduced to ashes upon contact.
Having witnessed the power of the Samadhi Fire, the remaining people, even if they wanted to retreat, dared not cross the line.
"Heh heh heh heh, you think you can just run away after offending me, Xiao?"
Staring at the embarrassed faces of the crowd, Xiao Yan smiled brightly, about to say something, when suddenly his eyebrows twitched.
Almost simultaneously with his laughter, he sensed a peculiar fluctuation emanating from somewhere within the territory of the Jialie tribe.
It shares the same origin as the dark aura that resides within everyone's soul.
[We've caught a big fish! As expected, this villain wasn't as brainless as he seemed; there was a mastermind behind him.]
Suddenly realizing the situation, Xiao Yan had no intention of alerting the enemy. He simply made sure that the other party could not detect him and firmly memorized that aura.
He then looked smugly at the crowd whose expressions were growing increasingly grim.
Revealing his pearly white teeth, Xiao Yan laughed with extraordinary arrogance.
"Come and go as you please, what do you think your territory is?"
rustling!
Xiao Xun'er remained silent, focusing solely on killing the enemy.
While Xiao Yan was speaking, she had already killed three more people who wanted to ambush him.
Xiao Yan's words thoroughly enraged Jia Liebi.
"You arrogant brat! Kill them all! If you kill that kid, I'll hand over the entire Obama family's wealth."
Those who move forward will be honored guests in Utan City in the future; those who remain still will receive a generous reward from my Jialie clan. Those who retreat will be attacked by the entire army!
Jia Liebi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. Xiao Yan's complete disregard for him had enraged him.
What? This is Xiao Yan's territory? This is the Jialie tribe's territory!
He would risk everything to keep Xiao Yan here!
"Kill! This arrogant brat has no intention of letting us go. If we don't kill him, we'll all die here!" From within the crowd, someone roared again, and the previously subdued crowd surged once more.
Xiao Xun'er rolled her eyes dramatically.
Although the two were no longer back-to-back during their movements, Xiao Yan made no attempt to conceal his actions.
He spoke those words using a secret technique, but unexpectedly, regardless of whether they noticed Xiao Yan's actions, the crowd's response was surprisingly positive.
"Hahaha, since you won't run away from me, then you'll be utterly defeated."
Xiao Yan was in high spirits, his eyes fixed intently on the overwhelming Dou Qi attacks, his heart brimming with heroic ambition.
With a clap of his hands, he activated the Burning Technique, releasing the restrictions on his body. A surge of immense power coursed through his limbs and bones, and pure white flames enveloped his entire body, instantly uniting his essence, energy, and spirit.
Countless sharp whooshing sounds accompanied the surging tide of people attacking, but Xiao Yan, facing the night sky, remained completely still.
With his eyes slightly closed, feeling the vast power in his dantian, Xiao Yan raised his right hand, and a huge, pitch-black ruler suddenly appeared in his palm.
The Samadhi True Fire climbed up Xiao Yan's arm, little by little, onto the Xuan Heavy Ruler, igniting a series of majestic flames on its dark surface. Pure white patterns spread, and Xiao Yan's aura surged once more. The Xuan Heavy Ruler, held horizontally, slowly rose upward with his arms.
"Not good!" In the crowd, Liu Xi's master, the third-grade alchemist Ximen Sang, who was a sixth-level Great Dou Master, had his pupils shrink.
At this moment, countless figures leaped high into the air, displaying a variety of fighting techniques, aiming to overwhelm Xiao Yan with sheer numbers.
However, Xiao Yan's unyielding spirit gave him a bad feeling. His soul power, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, made his soul feel as if it were being burned by raging flames, with waves of stinging pain.
Alarm bells rang wildly in his mind. Without thinking, Ximen activated his full fighting skills and, with a series of quick movements, arrived at the side and rear of the crowd.
Upon arriving there, he discovered that a great fighter whom Galebi had invited to help him was also hiding in the back, except that, unlike him, the other fighter was hiding directly behind him.
Before Ximen Sang could say anything, the towering flames filled his vision. Turning back in astonishment, he saw that the pure white flames that had been solidified on Xiao Yan's Xuanzhong Ruler suddenly shot into the sky.
The scorching heat evaporated the moisture in the air, and all the rain within a radius of tens of meters was evaporated. The rain that had fallen all night quietly stopped under the towering pillar of fire.
Ximen Sang's eyes widened; the scene was too shocking.
The surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature, and the elemental energy of heaven and earth was frantically gathering towards Xiao Yan as he used this move.
The pure white Samadhi Flame stood out starkly in the darkness, illuminating the young man in his crimson-gold robes beneath it, making him appear dazzlingly brilliant.
Within the Sea of Bitterness, the divine power within the Spring of Life surged continuously, seemingly becoming one with the rapidly spinning vortex of battle energy within it.
With its full power unleashed, the Samadhi True Fire has become incredibly potent, reaching an extremely terrifying level.
"Flames Divide and Devour the Waves!"
Xiao Yan's majestic voice resounded throughout half the city. Xiao Yan's figure rose from the ground and slowly ascended into the air, his entire body enveloped in flames, like a god.
With a loud shout, the speed at which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in instantly increased, and Xiao Yan's three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit were sublimated to the extreme and poured into it.
A pure white ruler, ten feet wide, swung down with immense force.
With a single strike, it possessed the power to shatter the entire earth in two, its overwhelming divine might seemingly capable of obliterating everything before it.
"Eat my Thunderous Strike!"
Let us recount your sins!
boom!!!
Everything happened too fast, with lightning speed, turning everything in front of us into a sea of fire.
Blazing flames swept across the sky, shooting into the heavens, billowing smoke and dust, and thick fog engulfed everything in sight.
With his body suspended a foot off the ground, Xiao Yan's power was completely drained by this attack. Suddenly losing his strength, his body plummeted from the sky.
Just as Xiao Yan was wondering how big a crater he could make, a warm, smooth touch pressed against his side.
As soon as Xiao Yan turned around, he saw Xiao Xun'er surrounded by golden light, her hair flying in the air. She lifted him up by the waist and gently placed him on the ground.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yan, can you take your hand away now?"
Xiao Yan was taken aback, only to find that his large hand, due to Xiao Xun'er's unfamiliarity with the position, had unknowingly landed on her chest and even unconsciously squeezed it.
Xiao Yan: (∥•/ω/•∥)
Xiao Xun'er: (눈_눈)
"Cough cough, you're developing well... Sister, I was wrong." Xiao Yan coughed dryly, but he couldn't escape having his waist twisted several times. Before Xiao Xun'er could hit him, he decisively stood up.
Although he managed to steal a moment from his busy schedule, Xiao Yan didn't forget his mission. He solemnly pointed two fingers at the sea of fire and snapped his fingers lightly. In an instant, the gradually extinguishing Samadhi True Fire was ignited, engulfing all the remaining debris.
The unknown Grand Master who had retreated behind the crowd had no chance to resist and was turned to ashes in the first wave of impact. The alchemist who had been clever and moved to the edge also failed to escape the second explosion.
Only Xiao Yan and his companion remained in the vast courtyard.
"Mission accomplished! How should Brother Xiao Yan thank me? Call me 'Sister' a few more times? I can reward you." With a slightly flushed face, Xiao Xun'er clung tightly to Xiao Yan's arm, about to say something, but Xiao Yan suppressed his surging anger and gave Xiao Xun'er a look.
"It's not over yet."
"Huh?!" Xiao Xun'er was stunned. The moment she saw that look in his eyes, all the flirtatious feelings vanished. Her face hardened, her fighting spirit surged, and golden light enveloped the two of them, protecting Xiao Yan behind her.
Before she could say anything, a burst of applause came from the smoke.
"Tsk tsk tsk, wonderful, wonderful! Terrifying indeed. To achieve this with the body of a fighter, he truly deserves to be called a genius."
Unfortunately, your journey has come to an end.
I love to strangle you despicable geniuses, hehehehehe—”
As the smoke slowly dissipated, a chilling sound accompanied the emergence of a figure shrouded in a black robe.
