Chapter 387

"Clang!" A thunderous sound of metal clashing rang out. Old Ghost Zhaixing felt as if he had been hit by a mountain, his body unable to stop retreating until he had taken over a dozen steps back.

"What terrifying brute force!" Old Ghost Zhaixing flexed his numb arm and looked at Xiao Yan.

Venerable Lei and Ice River, seeing that Old Ghost Zhaixing still could not take down Xiao Yan, were incomparably astonished. After looking at each other, they joined the battle circle.

Venerable Lei swung a giant iron hammer the size of a mountain, carving an arc through the air toward Xiao Yan. Countless electric sparks flashed on the surface of the hammer, and those sparks, like bolts of lightning, instantly enveloped Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan did not show weakness, the Dou Qi around his body flaring brightly as he gripped the iron rod with both hands and met the attack.

"Boom!" A huge explosion rang out, and both were shaken back several steps.

Xiao Yan felt his slightly numb arm and couldn't help but think to himself, the attack power of lightning is truly strong!

However, Xiao Yan did not take this slight numbing effect to heart; with the Yin Yang Dual Flames present, this injury was like a tickle.

Venerable Lei was surprised to see that Xiao Yan was fine after taking his strike; after all, the numbing effect of his lightning was no joke.

Ice River naturally did not want to give Xiao Yan any chance to catch his breath, directly condensing a giant sword of ice in his hand and swinging it toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at the giant ice sword, raised an eyebrow, and swung his iron rod to meet it.

"Boom!" A thunderous sound rang out. The moment the ice sword and the iron rod clashed, a terrifying force of ice surged along the iron rod and into Xiao Yan's body.

This force of ice made Xiao Yan shiver violently, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. However, this feeling vanished in a flash; as he circulated his cultivation method, the force of ice was instantly melted by the Exotic Fire.

"Hehe! It seems you have all brought out your true skills! Then try mine." Xiao Yan looked at the three people surrounding him and smiled slightly. The Exotic Fire within his body directly wrapped around the iron rod in his hand, and he swung it toward Ice River.

Ice River hurriedly swung his ice sword to block. The iron rod and the ice sword collided again, emitting a harsh sound. Ice River was shaken back several steps and immediately felt a scorching flame surge along the ice sword into his body, constantly eroding it.

"Exotic Fire!" Ice River said in shock after forcing the scorching flame out of his body.

"Hehe, only knowing now?" A cold sneer curled the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth. Perhaps ordinary Exotic Fire wouldn't cause them too much damage, but the Yin Yang Dual Flames were already close to the top five, so they naturally could not be underestimated.

"This brat is full of treasures! As long as we kill him, these will all be ours!" Old Ghost Zhaixing was naturally greedy after seeing Xiao Yan pull out so many good things.

"Good!" Ice River and Venerable Lei were clearly tempted as well; Xiao Yan's powerful Dou Techniques alone were attractive enough.

Old Ghost Zhaixing and the other two swung their weapons toward Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan, facing the siege of the three, showed no fear, directly swinging his iron rod to meet them.

With the blessing of the Yin Yang Dual Flames, Xiao Yan had no need for defense, knowing only to attack blindly.

Xiao Yan's suicidal fighting style left Old Ghost Zhaixing and the others at a loss. However, when they saw the wounds on Xiao Yan's body heal in an instant, they suddenly understood—this was simply an unkillable cockroach!

Realizing this, Old Ghost Zhaixing and the other two changed their fighting style, adopting a defensive strategy.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, this turned into Xiao Yan alone suppressing the three of them.

The commotion in Ye Cheng grew larger and larger, naturally attracting many experts to watch. They were stunned to see people from the Ice River Valley, the Wind Lightning Pavilion, and the Soul Hall besieging a young man. What was even more speechless was that this young man was actually suppressing the three of them.

However, those who did not know Xiao Yan only felt that he was some old monster from somewhere who had taken some kind of pill.

"This won't do!" Ice River saw more and more people watching; even if they won like this, it wouldn't be glorious. Moreover, there were still two Dou Zuns at the Yanghuo Gutan in Ye Cheng who hadn't made a move.

"Old Ghost Zhaixing, things have reached this point; we must summon experts from the Soul Hall for reinforcements!" Venerable Lei also felt discouraged; this Xiao Yan was simply too difficult to deal with.

Hearing this, Old Ghost Zhaixing sighed. He also knew it was difficult to take down Xiao Yan with just the three of them. He nodded and said, "I have already sent Elder Mu Gu back to the Soul Hall to request people, but if we can take down Xiao Yan before then, that would be a great achievement."

Hearing this, Ice River and Venerable Lei were instantly delighted. Although Xiao Yan's strength was powerful, if the Soul Hall truly took it seriously, he could be easily handled; after all, the Soul Hall even had Dou Shengs who could destroy the world.

Xiao Yan heard Old Ghost Zhaixing say this and suddenly understood. He had previously thought Elder Mu Gu was dead; it turned out he had gone to fetch reinforcements.

If Soul Hall experts came in large numbers, it would be truly troublesome. Not to mention dispatching a Dou Sheng—that would be overestimating Xiao Yan—just having any Half-Saint or expert above a seven-star Dou Zun come would be enough to easily handle Xiao Yan.

"It seems I need to end the battle as soon as possible!" Xiao Yan thought to himself, the speed at which he swung the iron rod increasing, his attacks becoming more and more fierce.

However, Old Ghost Zhaixing and the others, knowing that Soul Hall reinforcements were coming, did not show weakness in the face of Xiao Yan's fierce attacks; after all, if they could kill or capture Xiao Yan, it would be a great achievement.

Although the Ice River Valley and the Wind Lightning Pavilion had suffered heavy losses this time, if they could establish a relationship with the Soul Hall, the trip would not have been in vain.

Facing the combined siege of Old Ghost Zhaixing and the other two, Xiao Yan's wounds were also increasing.

However, Xiao Yan was heavily injured, but Old Ghost Zhaixing and the other two were injured even more heavily; after all, Xiao Yan had a sharp weapon like the Yin Yang Dual Flames, and they did not.

Of course, Old Ghost Zhaixing and the other two also knew that if they continued to fight, they would be the ones at a disadvantage. After looking at each other, they stepped fiercely into the void and retreated violently.

Xiao Yan looked at the three who had suddenly retreated, his eyes narrowing; he knew these three must be planning to use their ultimate moves.

Sure enough, after Old Ghost Zhaixing and the other two stopped, they directly put away their weapons and quickly formed seals with their hands in front of them.

As the seals formed, the three of them condensed a ghost-headed saber, a giant ice sword, and a Thunder God Hammer in front of them, respectively. However, these weapons were all gathered from energy. The three of them simultaneously extended their fists and hammered their chests, spitting out a mouthful of heart blood that landed on the weapons, making them look even more murderous.
