Chapter 105: Xiao Yan: Could it be that he really has to die this time?

Northwest Continent, winds rise and clouds surge!

The Shi Ming Sect, originally beaten to a pulp by the Yun Lan Sect, seemed to rise from the ashes under the instigation of several Soul Hall Venerables.

Many remnants regrouped at the Shi Ming Sect's main base.

Even without their sect leader Shi Tian, everyone knew that reinforcements from the Ming He Alliance of Zhongzhou were on their way!

These Shi Ming Sect remnants naturally wanted to avenge themselves on the Yun Lan Sect.

At this moment, outside the Shi Ming Sect's main base, over twenty uninvited guests suddenly arrived.

The leader was none other than Xiao Yan.

He carried the Xuan Zhong Chi on his back, stood tall and straight, and looked at the Shi Ming Sect with some disdain.

"Soul Hall, you sneaky rats hiding your heads and showing your tails..."

"Is the previous great defeat not enough to make you retreat?"

"It seems you want your entire army to be wiped out..."

Behind Xiao Yan, twenty Dou Zun strongmen stood neatly at this moment.

These were all Starfall Pavilion elders brought by Xiao Yan, emitting terrifying Dou Qi fluctuations, obviously veterans of a hundred battles.

This time, Xiao Yan came to completely exterminate the remaining forces of the Shi Ming Sect and cut off future troubles forever.

But Xiao Yan did not expect that the people of the Soul Hall were actually still here.

Perfectly timed for him to kill and collect some interest.

"Hmph, that Yun Lan Sect won't be jumping around for long!"

"My Soul Hall Deputy Hall Master has personally led a great army to trample the Northwest Continent!"

A Soul Hall Venerable with an aged face stepped forward, looking at Xiao Yan with a sinister gaze, his tone carrying a hint of threat.

"If you dare to touch us, the Deputy Hall Master will surely uproot you all as well!!"

"Deputy Hall Master?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown.

Their Starfall Pavilion had fought the Soul Hall for so long, enduring countless battles big and small, yet had never managed to make such a high-level strongman of the Soul Hall take action.

But this time, merely because the Yun Lan Sect ruined their plans in the Northwest Continent, the Soul Hall Deputy Hall Master actually personally led a great army, showing how deep the Soul Hall's hatred for the Yun Lan Sect ran.

Xiao Yan knew in his heart that he was only a Nine-Star Dou Zun.

Once a strongman of that level arrived, he feared these people of his would be hard-pressed to withstand them.

"We must fight a quick battle!"

With time pressing, Xiao Yan made a swift decision and gave the order.

To deal with these Shi Ming Sect remnants before the Soul Hall's great army arrived.

"Kill!"

With Xiao Yan's order, the twenty Dou Zun strongmen behind him struck instantly!

The great battle broke out in an instant.

Quite a few Soul Hall Venerables rushed out from within the Shi Ming Sect's main base, but were all blocked by the Starfall Pavilion elders!

And Xiao Yan wielded the Xuan Zhong Chi in his hand, bringing up terrifying Dou Qi storms, chopping down the remaining strongmen of the Shi Ming Sect one after another!

After all, he was a Nine-Star Dou Zun, and at the Dou Zun level he could almost be said to have no match.

The twenty Dou Zun strongmen behind him were also not weak; each could handle at least one Soul Hall Venerable.

If the Shi Ming Sect at this moment were complete, they might not fear Xiao Yan and the twenty Dou Zun strongmen he brought.

But now the high-end combat strength of the Shi Ming Sect had almost all been crushed by Feng Qingwan.

So they absolutely could not be a match for Xiao Yan and the few others!

Although the Shi Ming Sect remnants resisted to the death with the help of the Soul Hall Venerables, they ultimately could not avoid the fate of being crushed.

In almost no time at all, the Shi Ming Sect remnants were completely exterminated!

From then on, all forces in the entire Northwest Continent knew that the Shi Ming Sect had been completely wiped out!

This battle also made the name of Xiao Gate in Hei Jiao Yu greatly resound.

Although they only dealt with the remnants of the Shi Ming Sect, being able to exterminate them so cleanly and swiftly was enough to prove the strength of Xiao Gate.

After all, even as remnants, the Shi Ming Sect was not something ordinary forces could handle.

However, just two days after the great battle, outside the Xiao Gate main base, a large number of strongmen with terrifying auras suddenly appeared.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The Xiao Gate alarm bells rang loudly!

Xiao Yan immediately led the Starfall Pavilion elders flying out!

At a glance, Xiao Yan's expression turned ugly.

These people were precisely the strongmen of the Ming He Alliance!

They came surging in with great momentum, obviously wanting to avenge the Shi Ming Sect.

The number of Dou Zun strongmen among them far exceeded the number Xiao Yan had brought.

This made Xiao Yan suddenly feel his pressure doubled.

"This situation is not good..."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you take the Xiao Gate people and evacuate first."

"Leave this place to me to handle."

Xiao Yan turned to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li with a solemn expression and said.

Facing the strongmen of the Ming He Alliance, the other people of Xiao Gate had no qualification to participate in the battle.

Staying behind would only be throwing away their lives.

Xiao Ding hesitated not at all; he decisively nodded, "Alright, Third Brother, you be careful!"

"We withdraw first!"

Having said that, he led the people of Xiao Gate in a swift retreat, without the slightest hesitation.

After all, none of the people of Xiao Gate could probably withstand a single palm from that Dou Zun strongman opposite them.

This was the gap in levels.

"Kill our people and still want to run? How is that possible!"

Seeing Xiao Ding and the others wanting to withdraw, the strongmen of Tian Ming Sect immediately launched an attack on all of Xiao Gate.

"Go, cover their retreat first!"

Xiao Yan immediately led the Dou Zun strongmen he had brought to meet them head-on.

Starfall Pavilion had already been fighting the Ming He Alliance for a long time.

Both sides were quite familiar with each other's tactics.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was like a war god, single-handedly blocking several Dou Zun strongmen.

The other twenty Dou Zun strongmen of Starfall Pavilion also fought in a melee with the strongmen of Tian Ming Sect.

But Tian Ming Sect had more Dou Zun strongmen than them; the other strongmen of Starfall Pavilion were not as fierce as Xiao Yan and could only struggle to hold on under the siege.

But for the time being, they could be considered to have barely stabilized the situation.

Not long after, an aged voice suddenly rang out.

"You are that old thing Yao Chen's disciple?"

"Given time, perhaps you truly could have the strength to destroy my Tian Ming Sect."

"But today, you must die here."

Above the sky, ripples spread out.

A figure clad in dark gray robes walked out from the ripples, standing in midair.

This person had a head of long gray hair fluttering in the wind, and a face without any wrinkles, instead appearing exceptionally fair.

As if time had left no trace upon him.

"It's the Tian Ming Old Fiend!"

An elder of Starfall Pavilion recognized this person and was immediately shocked and dismayed.

"Even he has come!"

Now that the Pavilion Master is not here, who can deal with this Tian Ming Old Fiend of Half-Saint cultivation base?

"Kid, I'll send you on your way!"

At this moment, the Tian Ming Old Fiend's gaze toward Xiao Yan was extremely cold.

His hand seal changed, and vast gray Qi surged out from within him, covering the sky and earth!

The immense Half-Saint pressure instantly caused all the Dou Zun strongmen of Starfall Pavilion, including Xiao Yan, to change countenance.

Soon, gray Qi condensed behind the Tian Ming Old Fiend into a virtual shadow a hundred zhang tall.

This virtual shadow had no substantial face, but exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

"Tian Ming Palm!"

The Tian Ming Old Fiend raised his hand and pressed down toward Xiao Yan.

The huge palm of the virtual shadow behind him immediately synchronously slammed down fiercely upon Xiao Yan.

Wherever that palm passed, space itself seemed unable to bear this terrifying power and became distorted and twisted.

Xiao Yan's expression was grave; just from the aura, he could feel this palm was no simple matter.

"Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire!!!"

In an instant, the Qi within Xiao Yan's body surged wildly, and his cultivation base barely reached the level of Three-Transformation Dou Zun Peak!

Then he condensed Qi and fiercely threw a punch toward that huge palm!

"Bang!"

A tremendous sound.

Xiao Yan's fist collided with that huge palm.

The powerful shockwave made Xiao Yan's throat feel sweet, and he could not even steady his figure, directly spitting blood and retreating!

After landing and steadying himself, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his face became very pale.

Facing this old fiend, he still couldn't quite hold up.

"Could it really be that I'm going to die here?"

Xiao Yan felt unprecedented pressure in his heart and couldn't help but clench his fist.

His remaining trump card now was only the Fo Nu Huo Lian.

The Four-Colored Fo Nu Huo Lian, I don't know if it could threaten this Advanced Half-Saint Tian Ming Old Fiend...

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan took a deep breath.

Whether it works or not, he can only fight to the death!

Four flames slowly appeared, surrounding Xiao Yan.

In an instant, his aura rose another level!
