739. Rescue Arrives
In a battle between masters, even such a brief opening can be fatal.
Xiao Yan had already arrived beside Gu Yao like a ghost. Since Gu Yao was slow to react, he would definitely make good use of him!
The ruler was heavy and enormous, whistling through the air. It gave the ancient demon no time to mobilize its fighting spirit to defend or dodge. Like swatting a monster, it carried all of Xiao Yan's brute force and swung solidly at the ancient demon's astonished face!
In his pursuit of speed, Xiao Yan didn't even have time to use any fighting techniques. He simply relied on his physical strength and the weight of the Xuan Heavy Ruler to unleash the fury in his heart with this single strike!
Snapped!
The sound was both crisp and dull, like a piece of hard metal striking thick flesh, sending chills down one's spine.
The ancient demon's head snapped to the side, and he was flung through the air like a tattered sack. A sharp pain, accompanied by the immense impact, exploded in his brain. Stars raced before his eyes, and a continuous buzzing sound filled his ears, blocking out all external noise. Warm liquid trickled down the ancient demon's forehead; blood flowed incessantly.
But Xiao Yan's attack wouldn't end there; the crimson lotus flames surged forth.
The ancient demon's intense will to survive caused him to raise his defenses at lightning speed after taking the hit; the destructive power of the Crimson Lotus Star Flame far exceeded his expectations. The flames pierced through his battle aura defenses, burned his clothes, and left layers of charred skin on his exposed skin.
Before the ancient demon could do anything else, the extremely terrifying phoenix cry rang out again, and Xiao Yan, like a demon, charged forward wielding the huge Xuan Heavy Ruler.
"Damn it, save me!" Gu Yao had finally realized the gap between himself and Xiao Yan. The fear of death occupied his mind. He no longer cared about dignity or face. He just desperately needed someone to save his life.
Xiao Yan didn't relax at all. He reversed his direction and was about to smash down on the ancient demon's head again.
Swish!
"Hehe." A tall figure, with astonishing speed, like a ghost, darted between Xiao Yan and Gu Yao, firmly blocking the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
A series of light seals condensed in front of the newcomer at an extremely fast speed; those were the Emperor Seal Techniques that Xiao Yan was very familiar with.
Finally, when the Emperor Seal Technique had its first four seals, it collided with Xiao Yan's seal, resulting in a deafening explosion.
Xiao Yan was also slightly shaken away by the aftershocks. The person who suddenly appeared looked at Xiao Yan and laughed, "You actually intercepted me before I made my move. Well done, Xiao Yan! I am Gu Hua, the second commander of the Ancient Clan."
Looking at Gu Hua, Xiao Yan also learned about his opponent's strength—a half-saint.
The difference between a Half-Saint and a Dou Zun is immense. As Xiao Yan's plan to forcefully kill the Ancient Demon failed, several auras appeared following the Ancient Demon's earlier call. Simultaneously, these individuals emerged from several directions, subtly surrounding Xiao Yan in the center.
Although all six were dressed in fine clothes, their auras were strikingly different. Some exuded heroic spirit between their brows, some had calm and reserved eyes, some had a hint of amusement on their lips, and others simply observed Xiao Yan in the arena with a calm and indifferent expression. Without exception, the aura emanating from them was extremely powerful!
Six people!
Apart from Gu Qingyang, the First Commander who had already clearly stated his unwillingness to participate in this matter, all seven of the eight commanders of the Ancient Clan were gathered here today. The Ancient Clan might not really value Xiao Yan that much, but after all, Xiao Yan had personally killed the Black Annihilation Army within the Ancient Clan, and such a heinous incident had to be dealt with seriously.
Xiao Yan coldly scanned the group: two Half-Saints, three Nine-Star Dou Zun, and two Eight-Star Dou Zun. An entirely younger generation—this was the kind of lineup a behemoth like the Ancient Clan could muster.
The Spirit Clan is also a descendant of Dou Di, but compared to the Ancient Clan, they are insignificant. Perhaps only Ling Fengzhui can be considered a worthy comparison. The others are simply not on the same level.
"Ancient demon, tsk tsk tsk, you really look pathetic!"
Gu Yao was in very bad shape at the moment. The bleeding on his head hadn't even been stopped properly, and his face was covered in blood. He didn't even give a pleasant look to the teasing of the people around him.
"Don't forget who sent you. I'm very dissatisfied with your attitude!"
"Hahaha, you're still alive, aren't you? Gu Chen has been coveting your position as the Seventh Commander for a long time," Gu Hua said with a smile. As the Second Commander, he didn't need to care about Gu Yao's thoughts at all.
Gu Xing, the third commander of the ancient tribe, also commented, "However, you are indeed no match for him!"
Then Gu Xing stepped forward and said to Xiao Yan from afar, "Xiao Yan, is that it? I am Gu Xing, the Third Commander of the Ancient Clan. I admire your ability to single-handedly infiltrate the Ancient Clan and possess a Heavenly Realm Soul. How about we have a little spar first?"
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yan caught his breath and popped a pill into his mouth. Although he wasn't heavily expended, a fierce battle was inevitable, and he needed to maintain his best condition.
In response to Gu Xing's invitation, Xiao Yan replied directly, "Today I must take Gu Yao's life to atone for my second brother's sins. If you wish to protect him, then join forces!"
"What an arrogant fellow! He's just a stray dog. I'd like to see what's so great about a Heavenly Realm Soul." One of them couldn't hold back any longer and flew up to attack Xiao Yan.
"I am Gu Shuangxue, the fifth commander of the ancient clan. Remember who killed you!" Gu Shuangxue lived up to her name, exuding a chilling aura like frost and snow.
"It doesn't matter who comes!"
Then Xiao Yan and Gu Shuangxue simultaneously formed hand seals, both using the Emperor Seal Technique!
The two of them simultaneously flipped their palms, and at the beginning of the hand seals, Xiao Yan was even faster! However, in the latter half, Gu Shuangxue caught up, and in the end, the two of them completed the hand seals almost at the same time, in one smooth motion!
"Ancient Emperor's Seal!"
"Ancient Emperor's Seal!"
When the same fighting techniques clash, the Emperor Seal Technique is the most representative fighting technique below the Heaven Rank of the Ancient Clan. Almost everyone in the Ancient Clan with outstanding talent knows it! Therefore, almost everyone has their own unique style. The clash of Emperor Seal Techniques has always been a major highlight of the competition among the younger generation of the Ancient Clan.
Although Xiao Yan is not a member of the Ancient Clan, the Ancient Clan members are very clear about the origin of his fighting skills, so they are also very curious to know just how far Xiao Yan has progressed.
At this moment, the other ancient clan commanders were extremely interested in the actions of the two and had no intention of interfering.
boom--
This explosion was far more violent than before, with terrifying shockwaves continuously emanating from it.
When Gu Shuangxue's pale blue palm print met Xiao Yan's purplish-red light seal, the resulting energy fluctuation caused Gu Shuangxue, who had taken the initiative to attack, to have her blood and qi reversed due to the powerful force that rebounded from her, resulting in a muffled groan that she couldn't suppress.
"How is that possible!"
