Chapter 406: Close-Quarters Combat

But if this were someone else, even if they stood there and let you hit them, they probably wouldn't achieve such results.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed. The aura Xiao Yan emitted became weaker and weaker, which meant he didn't have much Dou Qi left; he probably couldn't even use Dou Techniques.

Xiao Yan's situation naturally couldn't be hidden from the five Hall of Souls Venerables who observed him every day. Seeing that Xiao Yan no longer posed a threat, the five looked at each other and prepared to send one person in to capture Xiao Yan.

"Mo Li, you go into the array and capture Xiao Yan!" After the five discussed it, they finally had Mo Li act first.

"It's always like this! I'm destined to be the one doing the hard labor!" At this moment, Mo Li also believed that Xiao Yan no longer posed any threat. Without Dou Qi, it was like a car without fuel; no matter how good the car was, it was useless.

"Haha! Go quickly! We brothers are taking care of you; you don't even want the credit that's already in your hands?" One of the black-robed old men laughed.

Hearing this, Mo Li laughed loudly. The five brothers helped each other in the Hall of Souls and had made a name for themselves. Relying on the array, they had killed quite a few young talents in Zhongzhou.

Mo Li formed seals with both hands and flashed into the array. Looking at Xiao Yan, who was still sitting cross-legged, he curled his mouth into a cold sneer and said with disdain: "I thought you were so powerful! And this is it? Zhaixing Laogui and the Black and White Heavenly Venerates are getting worse as they age."

After complaining about Zhaixing Laogui and the others, Mo Li flicked his sleeve, and a pitch-black iron chain shot out, turning into a black giant snake and shooting toward Xiao Yan, preparing to bind him.

However, just as the black giant snake was about to reach Xiao Yan, it was firmly grabbed by a large hand and could no longer move an inch.

"Hehe, you really thought that if I lost my Dou Qi, I would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? Dou Qi is my weakest attack method." Xiao Yan curled his mouth into a cold sneer. A ball of black and white flame erupted from the hand holding the black iron chain. As soon as the flame appeared, the space was immediately burned until it distorted, and the iron chain was directly melted.

"Hmph! So what if you possess an Exotic Fire? I want to see how many more times the Dou Qi in your body can support you in using the Exotic Fire!" Mo Li saw the iron chain he had struck out destroyed, but he wasn't too surprised. Although the Exotic Fire consumed little Dou Qi, it mainly consumed soul power. However, with the Dou Qi Xiao Yan currently had stored, he clearly couldn't squander it at will.

In fact, just as Mo Li said, using the Exotic Fire didn't consume much Dou Qi, but it couldn't be used frequently either.

Xiao Yan took a pill to recover Dou Qi from his storage ring and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he flashed to Mo Li's side, his fist carrying a strong sonic boom as he blasted toward Mo Li. At this moment, using his physical body to fight was most suitable for his current situation.

Mo Li looked at the fist Xiao Yan blasted toward him, curled his mouth into disdain, and sneered: "Truly a desperate struggle!"

Mo Li saw the seals on his hand change rapidly, his right hand becoming larger and larger. Then he swung his right hand to blast toward Xiao Yan.

Mo Li had the help of the array and could squander Dou Qi at will; naturally, he had to use Dou Techniques.

"Bang!" The two fists collided fiercely, stirring up ripples of force that dispersed quite a bit of the black mist around them, leaving a clean patch of ground. However, in the blink of an eye, the patch of ground was occupied by black mist again.

"I didn't expect your physical body to be so terrifying!" Mo Li retreated two steps, shook his somewhat numb arm, and looked at Xiao Yan.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan didn't answer. He tapped his toes lightly on the ground, electric sparks surging under his feet, and his figure rushed toward Mo Li rapidly. As he approached Mo Li, he blasted another punch at him.

Mo Li knew Xiao Yan's physical body was terrifying; head-on collision was too disadvantageous, so he dodged the attack directly with a sideways movement.

However, just as Mo Li avoided Xiao Yan's fist, he found a whistling wind around his neck. Xiao Yan's elbow was fiercely attacking his throat.

Mo Li looked at the elbow that was getting larger and larger, and his feet stepped fiercely on the ground, his figure retreating rapidly.

If this hit, it would definitely result in death or injury!

However, Xiao Yan wouldn't let Mo Li escape so easily. His legs kicked out alternately, a sweep that cleared the army, sticking to Mo Li like taffy and not letting go.

Xiao Yan was like a giant windmill, his speed getting faster and faster, and he soon caught up to Mo Li.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Xiao Yan's leg kicked directly onto Mo Li's arm. The powerful force directly caused Mo Li to slide a deep trench into the ground.

"Damn it!" Mo Li felt the bones in his body were about to be kicked apart by Xiao Yan. Knowing that close-quarters combat was not Xiao Yan's match, he formed seals with both hands rapidly, preparing to use a Dou Technique.

But just as the seals were half-formed, Xiao Yan approached again, his hard elbow blasting toward Mo Li's temple.

Seeing this, Mo Li stepped fiercely on the ground, his figure retreating rapidly.

"You want to use a Dou Technique? Did you get my permission?" Xiao Yan curled his mouth into a cold sneer, tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and his body rotated rapidly, turning into a spinning top and attacking Mo Li rapidly.

"Wind Sweeps the Ruined Tower!"

The force of Xiao Yan's legs was like thunder, his steps as fast as lightning, directly passing through Mo Li's hands that were forming seals and kicking him in the chest.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Muffled sounds continued to emerge. Mo Li only felt that there were leg shadows all around him, not knowing which was real and which was fake. In just a moment, he was kicked until he was covered in injuries.

"Damn it!" Mo Li cursed loudly, the Dou Qi in his body rolling like it was free, surging toward the surroundings.

Xiao Yan was pushed back several steps by Mo Li's powerful force. Looking at Mo Li, who was already furious, he curled his mouth into a smile, then tapped his toes fiercely on the void, his figure rushing toward Mo Li again.

Mo Li looked at Xiao Yan, who was rushing toward him again, his eyes full of hatred. Then he looked at Xiao Yan somewhat unwillingly, then turned into black mist and disappeared.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan kicked into empty air and felt somewhat unsatisfied. Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, he didn't rush around blindly and sat cross-legged directly to continue practicing.

Xiao Yan had also made up his mind: rather than wasting effort to break the array, it was better to stay for a few more days. Anyway, the Dan Jie was only open for ten days.

The Dan Jie couldn't be stayed in for long for others, but for Xiao Yan, it was nothing.

Mo Li walked out of the array covered in injuries, immediately causing suspicion from the others. One of them opened his mouth and asked: "What's going on? Why didn't you take down Xiao Yan? Instead, you were beaten until you were injured?"

"Hmph! Xiao Yan has a physical body comparable to a top-tier magical beast. Even without Dou Qi, his combat power is very fierce. Plus, he has brilliant close-quarters combat Dou Techniques, so I ended up like this." Mo Li looked at Mu Gu Lao Ren, clearly blaming him for not explaining clearly.

Mu Gu Lao Ren saw this, although he felt some contempt in his heart, he could only smile awkwardly and say: "Xiao Yan didn't show the terror of his physical body before, so I didn't know either."
