Chapter 323

This scene caused the fire of jealousy in the youth's heart to ignite instantly. He flashed before Xun Er, bowed respectfully, and said, "I am Ling Quan, the newly appointed Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, here by the order of the Clan Elder to escort the Young Lady back to the clan!"

Ever since Ling Quan appeared, Xun Er had been holding Xiao Yan's hand tightly. Now, hearing that Ling Quan wanted to take her away, she hugged Xiao Yan's hand even tighter.

Sensing Xun Er's reaction, Xiao Yan looked at Ling Quan and said indifferently, "Xun Er will go back on her own; you don't need to worry about it!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Quan's face darkened instantly. He looked at Xiao Yan with disdain and sneered, "You must be that trash from the Xiao Family! Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in our clan's affairs!"

"And who do you think you are, daring to speak to Brother Xiao Yan like that!" Seeing Ling Quan dare to humiliate Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian was immediately displeased.

Upon hearing this, Ling Quan was instantly enraged. Proud by nature, he was respected wherever he went, but today he had been provoked time and again. He directly slapped Xiao Yi Xian, wanting to teach this ignorant little girl a lesson.

Seeing Ling Quan strike, Xiao Yi Xian naturally did not want to be outdone, but just as she was about to make a move, she was stopped by Xiao Yan.

Looking at the fist Ling Quan threw, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with disdain. He reached out, grabbed his palm, and then punched out.

The power of this punch was not small; it sent Ling Quan flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Pfft!" Ling Quan spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Xiao Yan with a pale face.

Ling Quan had always thought his strength was very high, but he never expected to be defeated by Xiao Yan in a single move.

"Deputy Commander Ling Quan has just reached the Dou Zong level; how could he not withstand even one move from this person!" The Black Annihilation Army soldiers brought by Ling Quan were all astonished.

"Xiao Yan's strength has increased again. Being able to make a Dou Zong vomit blood with just his own physical strength, his body's toughness is at least comparable to a Tier 7 Magical Beast!" Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan and praised.

"If Xun Er wants to go back, she will naturally go back on her own. You had better not interfere!" Xiao Yan looked at Ling Quan and said indifferently.

"Hehe, and you think you're worthy of managing our Gu Clan's affairs!" Ling Quan stood up, looked at Xiao Yan, and his aura surged, with electric arcs flickering around his body.

Ling Quan felt that being knocked down by a country bumpkin was the greatest humiliation of his life, and such humiliation naturally had to be washed away with blood.

If this matter were to spread within the clan, would he still have the face to remain in the clan?

"With me here! You can't take her away!" Xiao Yan protected the two women behind him and said coldly.

"Then let's try! Black Annihilation Army, follow me!" Feeling that he was no match for Xiao Yan, Ling Quan said to the Black Annihilation Army behind him.

"Yes!" The Black Annihilation Army behind Ling Quan responded loudly.

"Xun Er, Xiao Yi Xian, you wait here for a moment!" Xiao Yan turned and said to the two, then immediately flew toward the sky.

Ling Quan also led nine Black Annihilation Army soldiers in pursuit of Xiao Yan. The soldiers he brought were not weak; they were all Dou Huang level experts.

"Follow me and set up the formation!" Ling Quan ordered the Black Annihilation Army behind him.

Upon hearing this, the Black Annihilation Army quickly set up the formation, standing in specific positions, and their hands began to form seals. Powerful energy was released from their bodies, forming beams of light that shot into Ling Quan's body, causing his aura to surge instantly.

"As expected of the Gu Clan! They have so many good things!" Xiao Yan praised. Ling Quan had just entered the Dou Zong level, but with the support of the others, he instantly reached the Three-Star Dou Zong level.

"Xiao Yan, go to hell!" The electric arcs around Ling Quan became increasingly dense, and a terrifying power spread from his body. He flashed before Xiao Yan, and the long spear in his hand thrust straight toward Xiao Yan's heart, piercing directly into it.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan's body began to slowly dissipate and then vanished.

"It was actually an afterimage!" Ling Quan's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Xiao Yan, who had reappeared not far away, feeling slightly surprised.

"Let's have some fun today!" Xiao Yan took out the Snow Drink Mad Blade that had been gathering dust in his storage ring. Holding the hilt with both hands, he slashed at Ling Quan. A blade aura nearly a hundred feet long, carrying a sharp momentum, drew a beautiful arc in the air and slashed directly at Ling Quan.

Looking at the blade aura Xiao Yan slashed out, Ling Quan snorted coldly. The long spear in his hand thrust out like lightning, and a silver thunder dragon shot from the tip of the spear to meet the blade aura.

A "Booming" sound echoed through the sky. The blade aura and the thunder dragon collided, producing a loud noise. An indescribable power erupted, shattering the surrounding air and forcing Ling Quan to retreat continuously from the shockwave.

"A bit weak! Your strength has reached the Three-Star Dou Zong level, and this is it?" Xiao Yan felt a bit bored. Ling Quan had the strength, but his combat ability was truly lacking; he couldn't even withstand a casual strike from him.

"Arrogant! Today I'll let you see!" Seeing Xiao Yan's look of contempt, Ling Quan's anger reached its peak, and he began to form strange seals with his hands.

Watching Ling Quan struggling to form seals, Xiao Yan felt it was unbearable to watch and really wanted to go up and help him!

It was unknown how much time had passed before Ling Quan finished forming the seals and struck a palm at Xiao Yan. A huge energy palm, carrying terrifying power, roared toward Xiao Yan.

"Mountain Opening Seal!"

"I'm really in a tough spot; I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you!" Xiao Yan sighed helplessly and then struck a palm out.

"Cloud Parting Palm!"

Once the Cloud Parting Palm was unleashed, the sky changed color, the sea of clouds churned, and a majestic momentum swept out.

The fierce shockwave swept toward Ling Quan like a landslide or a tsunami. The energy palm condensed by the Mountain Opening Seal lasted only for a moment before being shattered by this shockwave and turning into nothingness. For a time, the entire space was shrouded in this momentum.

The "Booming" sound was incessant, and the space around Ling Quan seemed to be trembling.

"Pfft!" Ling Quan and the Black Annihilation Army behind him were directly hit by the Cloud Parting Palm, flying backward one by one, spitting blood, and falling to the ground like dumplings.

"Good thing! No one was killed!" Xiao Yan used his soul perception to check and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if a life had really been lost, it would have been quite troublesome.

Just as Xiao Yan thought the matter had been perfectly resolved, he suddenly felt the space around him solidify, unable to move even an inch.

Immediately after, the blue sky was torn open by a gap nearly a thousand feet wide, and a golden palm nearly a hundred feet wide reached out from the gap, slapping straight toward Xiao Yan.

The power of this palm was astonishing. Xiao Yan's body could not move, and he could only watch helplessly as the golden palm landed on him.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Xiao Yan was slapped to the ground. However, it was not over yet; the golden palm continued to press down, pushing Xiao Yan deeper into the ground.

With a "Booming" sound, Xiao Yan's entire body was crushed by the golden palm, and he immediately fell into a coma.
