Chapter 443: The Xu Wu Tun Yan Clone
Seeing Xiao Yan actually dare to take their attacks head-on, the Hall of Souls Heavenly Venerates frowned slightly; however, thinking of Qiu Tian, they suddenly felt a lack of confidence, and immediately increased the power of their Dou Qi.
The four powerful attacks landed on Xiao Yan, but only caused his body to tremble slightly, without bringing much harm to him.
Seeing this, the Hall of Souls Heavenly Venerates were struck with terror, and immediately after, they saw Xiao Yan's sandbag-sized fist descend.
"Boom..." Four muffled sounds rang out, and the four were sent flying backward by Xiao Yan, spitting blood, following in the footsteps of Qiu Tian.
"How is Xiao Yan's physical body so terrifying?" Seeing the other four also sent flying, a look of horror flashed in Qiu Tian's eyes; after all, Xiao Yan had not used any Dou Techniques from start to finish, relying solely on his physical body to beat them into this state.
Hearing this, the other four were also somewhat incredulous; one must know that the physical body is the hardest to train, and apart from those terrifying Magical Beasts, only the physical bodies of the Shi Clan among the Ancient Eight Clans are relatively powerful, comparable to some ancient Magical Beast clans.
Yet even the physical strength of the Shi Clan could not compare to Xiao Yan's; Xiao Yan's physical strength had already exceeded that of an ordinary Ninth-Rank Magical Beast. After all, Xiao Yan had consumed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and his bloodline strength was difficult to compare with even the Void Ancient Dragon, so his future physical strength would surpass the Void Ancient Dragon.
Xiao Yan glanced at his own fist, a satisfied smile appearing on his face; if his physical strength was already this powerful at just the Half-Saint level, one could imagine his combat power if he truly achieved a Saint-level physical body in the future.
"I will accept your lives; thank you for the Hall of Souls' gift." A smile curled at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth; since he had already verified his strength, there was no point in keeping these people, and it would be better to kill them directly and refine them into Tian Yao Kui.
Seeing Xiao Yan's murderous intent, the expressions of the five, including Qiu Tian, changed wildly; after all, they had been full of confidence when they arrived! They never expected to be so vulnerable in Xiao Yan's hands, but they were not without a backup plan.
"Hmph! You really think you've got us cornered!" A flash of ruthlessness crossed Qiu Tian's face, and he immediately said coldly: "We originally intended to keep this to subdue the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, but since you are so arrogant, it can only be used to deal with you. Anyway, only if you die can the Yin-Yang Dual Flames be subdued."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, feeling that things were unusual; these people were not here to deal with him, but to subdue the Yin-Yang Dual Flames.
The five people formed seals with their hands, and as they moved, black flames began to surge from within their bodies; the five flames converged in the sky, forming a pitch-black ball of fire.
The ball of fire was like a black hole, capable of devouring everything; even light was swallowed, and the sky dimmed directly, turning into the likeness of night in just a moment.
Looking at the huge black fireball in the sky, a bad premonition flashed in Xiao Yan's heart; Xiao Yan had already seen this flame once before, and it was precisely a sub-flame of Xu Wu Tun Yan, but the sub-flame of Mu Gu Lao Ren could not be compared to this mass of flame at all—they were not even on the same order of magnitude.
"Hmph! Let's see how you can be arrogant now; your doomsday is next." Qiu Tian let out a cold snort, looking at the black ball of light constantly condensing in the sky, an excited smile on his face.
The black ball of fire in the sky began to squirm constantly, its momentum climbing steadily, and it soon transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in black; although the man's body was illusory, his aura was extremely powerful, and the intense pressure made it difficult for Xiao Yan to breathe.
"You five pieces of trash, you can't even deal with one Xiao Yan!" The man in black looked at the five, including Qiu Tian, and said with a gloomy face. "My Lord, it is not that we are too useless, but that Xiao Yan is too powerful." The five, including Qiu Tian, knelt on the ground, trembling as they spoke; they had not expected that this final resort would actually be summoning a clone of Xu Wu Tun Yan.
"Hmph! Failure is failure!" The middle-aged man was clearly very dissatisfied with the performance of these five; he reached out, and a black sphere formed in his palm. The black sphere was like a black hole, generating a terrifying devouring force that swept toward the five.
"Ah!" The five, including Qiu Tian, only had time to let out a miserable howl before they were turned into blood mist and sucked into the black hole.
After the black sphere devoured the flesh and blood of the five, including Qiu Tian, it merged directly into the body of the man in black.
With the entry of this flesh and blood, the originally somewhat illusory man in black began to become solid, looking no different from a real person.
"Although it feels a bit uncomfortable, it is enough!" The man in black stretched his body, and following a crackling sound of bones, his gaze shifted toward Xiao Yan, and he asked with a faint smile: "You are Xiao Yan?"
"You are Xu Wu Tun Yan?" Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man in black who had appeared in the sky; he felt unprecedented pressure from the middle-aged man.
"I didn't expect you to actually recognize me!" The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Xiao Yan, asking: "That sub-flame of mine was swallowed by you, right?"
"So what if it was?" Xiao Yan did not deny it at this moment; after all, lying would be of no use.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter! You are lucky, and also unfortunate. The lucky part is that you absorbed my sub-flame, which prompted your Yin-Yang Dual Flames to mutate and become even more terrifying. Of course, it is precisely because you absorbed my sub-flame that I learned of your existence, so you are also unfortunate," the Xu Wu Tun Yan clone said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly; he had not expected that simply absorbing a sub-flame of Xu Wu Tun Yan could attract the attention of the entity himself.
"It seems you have already understood something. That is fine; it saves me from having to say anything more. Hand over the Exotic Fire in your body and come back with me. With your talent, I believe the Hun Clan will definitely give you everything you want; even breaking through to Dou Saint in the future will be a very simple matter," the Xu Wu Tun Yan clone said with a smile.
"What if I don't hand it over?" Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the Xu Wu Tun Yan clone in front of him; although this clone made him feel powerful pressure, it was impossible for him to just give up the Exotic Fire.
Seeing that Xiao Yan refused to hand over the Exotic Fire, the Xu Wu Tun Yan clone did not show an angry expression, but said with a faint smile: "It seems you still don't know your current situation. How about this! I see that you have honed your physical body to a very powerful level; if you can knock me back with one punch, I will let you go and will not demand the Yin-Yang Dual Flames from you. Of course, if you cannot, then hand over the Exotic Fire and come back with me!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow; he really wanted to test the Xu Wu Tun Yan clone in front of him and see just how powerful he was. He nodded immediately, stomped his foot hard against the ground, and his figure shot toward the Xu Wu Tun Yan clone like a cannonball.
