Chapter 407: Five Against One

In fact, during the battle in Ye City, Mu Gu Lao Ren's participation was extremely low, so he didn't know Xiao Yan's abilities, but he certainly wouldn't say that.

"Hmph! I'll go meet this fellow!" The leader of the five, Mo Hong, snorted coldly, then entered the array directly, preparing to deal with Xiao Yan himself.

However, after Mo Hong stayed in the array for a while, he also walked out with a bruised and swollen face, covered in injuries, and said angrily: "Let's all go together!"

Seeing that their leader had also been beaten like this, the other four brothers didn't mock him too much. They just nodded, then stepped into the array to deal with Xiao Yan together.

Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and saw the five people surrounding him. The corner of his mouth held a cold sneer: "What? Not preparing to talk about morality anymore? Preparing to go five against one?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the five became somewhat unnatural. After all, five people surrounding one was indeed not a good thing to say, but they hadn't done this only once. As long as they killed Xiao Yan, who would care how they did it?

"We only want the result!" A ruthless look flashed in Mo Hong's eyes. Then he formed seals with both hands rapidly, preparing to use a powerful Dou Technique to deal with Xiao Yan. The other four also began to form seals one after another. In terms of close-quarters combat, they estimated that the five of them were not enough, but since they could use Dou Techniques, why engage in close-quarters combat?

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, looking at the five people using Dou Techniques at the same time, feeling somewhat tricky. It was easy to interrupt one person, but five people together was somewhat troublesome.

Although the situation was somewhat tricky, Xiao Yan was not without a way to deal with it. Xiao Yan's figure flashed, instantly arriving in front of the leader, Mo Hong. Then he blasted out a punch, and a thunder-like explosion sounded, directly interrupting Mo Hong, who was forming seals.

Seeing this, Mo Hong was not too surprised; after all, he had already experienced Xiao Yan's methods. Although his Dou Technique was interrupted, the other four had already condensed theirs successfully.

Only four terrifying attacks had been brewed, and under the control of the four, they attacked toward Xiao Yan.

Looking at the four attacks coming through the air, Xiao Yan didn't dare to be slow. He swung his hands up and down in front of him, rapidly drawing a Taiji pattern.

Only when the four terrifying attacks touched the Taiji pattern were they instantly swallowed by it. Ripples like water waves swayed on the pattern, and the four attacks were immediately rebounded back.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Four muffled sounds rang out, and the four were immediately injured by the attacks they had launched themselves. They spat out a mouthful of blood.

Of course, rebounding the four people's attacks was not easy for Xiao Yan either. The Dou Qi he had finally accumulated was immediately squandered.

Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to take a Qi Recovery Pill from his storage ring, he discovered that Mo Hong had suddenly appeared behind him. Thick black Dou Qi surged on his palm; clearly, he had secretly used a Dou Technique while Xiao Yan was dealing with the other four, and its power was not low.

"Bang!" A muffled sound rang out, and Xiao Yan was directly blown away. Then he felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood was spat out.

However, the pain flashed and disappeared. With the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, Xiao Yan could fear no injury, but the Dou Qi in his body was consumed a bit more.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to take a Qi Recovery Pill from his storage ring, preparing to eat it. After all, there was no energy in this array for Xiao Yan to recover.

"Quick! Stop him! Don't give him a chance to take the pill!" Mo Hong saw Xiao Yan preparing to take the pill and shouted urgently. They had finally exhausted Xiao Yan's Dou Qi; how could they give Xiao Yan time to recover?

The other four didn't need Mo Hong's instructions at all. Their figures flashed and they rushed toward Xiao Yan, preparing to stop Xiao Yan from taking the pill.

However, the four were still a step late; Xiao Yan had already stuffed the pill into his mouth.

"Damn it! Second brother, follow me to surround Xiao Yan, and the other three use long-range Dou Techniques!" Mo Hong saw Xiao Yan take the pill again and was so angry that he couldn't help it. This was equivalent to their previous efforts being in vain.

The two engaged in close combat to firmly contain Xiao Yan, not giving Xiao Yan any chance to take any pills, while the three used terrifying Dou Techniques to attack Xiao Yan from a distance.

The five cooperated incomparably tacitly, directly beating Xiao Yan until he retreated steadily. Xiao Yan could only defend as much as possible, rarely even using Dou Techniques. All his Dou Qi was used to recover from injuries. As long as he supported for another two or three days, these people would have to go out, and the people from the Pill Tower would also know about the situation here.

However, Xiao Yan only supported for two days before his Dou Qi was exhausted again.

Mo Hong and the others knew Xiao Yan's recovery ability was amazing, so they guarded strictly and didn't give Xiao Yan any chance to take any pills. At this moment, they had surrounded and attacked Xiao Yan for four days. Xiao Yan's resilience made them feel a tremor. Other geniuses could support for at most one or two days, which was already amazing; after all, this feeling of seeing no hope was truly too desperate.

"Xiao Yan! Give up! I respect you as a man. As long as you obediently follow us to the Hall of Souls and hand over what the Hall Master needs, we will plead for you and let you avoid punishment!" Mo Hong looked at Xiao Yan, who had been beaten until he was unrecognizable, covered in blood, with no idea how many bones were broken, and advised.

Of course, Mo Hong naturally didn't have such a kind heart; he just wanted to disintegrate Xiao Yan's will. After all, today was the last day. If they continued, they estimated they would be completely stuck in the Pill World, and they would be dead for sure. They didn't want to be buried with Xiao Yan.

"Go to your grandfather! Stop using these high-quality psychological warfare tactics; these are all things I played with long ago!" Xiao Yan curled his mouth into a cold sneer, his body trembling as he said.

"You are looking for death!" Mo Hong saw Xiao Yan was so stubborn, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Hit me! Break all the bones on his body!"

Following Mo Hong's voice, attacks like raindrops continuously landed on Xiao Yan. The sound of bones breaking began to ring out. Xiao Yan's injuries were too heavy at this moment, and he could only barely defend; counterattacking was impossible.

"Is it over?" Xiao Yan suddenly felt his limbs lose sensation, clearly all broken. At this moment, both his soul power and strength were exhausted. The exhaustion of his spirit and body continuously disintegrated Xiao Yan's will, making him give up.

Seeing Xiao Yan lying motionless on the ground, Mo Hong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. The battle of these few days also made them feel like they were dreaming, feeling like they were fighting a puppet—a puppet that didn't know pain.

"Mo Li, tie him up, then go back to report!" Mo Hong waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Mo Li nodded, then looked at Xiao Yan somewhat complexly. The shock Xiao Yan brought him was truly too great, like an unkillable cockroach.

However, Mo Li wouldn't soften his heart; he just admired Xiao Yan. Then he flicked his sleeve, and a pitch-black iron chain shot out, blasting toward Xiao Yan, preparing to bind him.
