745. Capturing the Ancient Demon
At this moment, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. The fire lotus in his hand flew out and rushed straight towards the ancient demon.
Upon seeing this scene, the members of the ancient clan all instinctively knew something was wrong and wanted to leave immediately. However, the next moment, an invisible vortex of soul power bloomed beneath their feet.
Soul Flow Black Vortex!
The celestial soul appears and disappears unpredictably!
The ancient clan members, who were already scattering and fleeing, were once again controlled. The intense attraction made it impossible for them to maintain their balance. Although they had a way to escape, there was no time left! And Xiao Yan only needed that short time to release the Fire Lotus!
boom--
The five-colored fire lotus exploded directly at the center, its extreme light and explosive force now beyond anyone's control. Waves of fire surged forth, the lotus's power exploding directly at its core. The energies of the five different flames continued to explode and rage.
Xiao Yan witnessed everything. The sea of fire that spread after the five-colored fire lotus merged was so terrifying that even he, the creator, was extremely alarmed. However, this was exactly the effect he wanted; only by doing so could he possibly kill the ancient demon.
Xiao Yan disregarded everything and charged straight into the sea of fire. He had been keeping a close eye on the ancient demon's aura the whole time. Even though the five-colored sea of fire had already exploded, he still accurately rushed in. Although the combined power of the five-colored fire lotus was extremely strong, Xiao Yan himself possessed a different kind of fire, so the sea of fire couldn't really have much of an effect on him.
During this process, Xiao Yan also activated all his abilities. Xiao Yan knew very well that there were many experts and strongmen in the ancient clan, and he needed to seize this extremely precious time to kill the ancient demon.
Sure enough, four breaths later, the spatial rifts reappeared, and this time three of them opened!
"stop!"
With a command, even the raging sea of fire came to a standstill, as if space itself had been imprisoned. One of them made a move, and the sea of fire was swallowed up by the spatial rift that had opened up. The chaotic scene was brought under control in a very short time.
In just a short while, the scene that Xiao Yan had painstakingly created was brought under control. This was the power of a Dou Sheng!
However, even with the intervention of a Dou Sheng, the power of that Fire Lotus attack was still fully unleashed.
The young members of the ancient clan were in extremely dire condition. Gu Xing and Gu Hua were in relatively better shape; although their breathing was unstable, they were spitting blood, and their bodies were charred black, they had ultimately withstood the attack. When they escaped, they were the furthest from the center of the inferno, and both had already begun to recover.
The three nine-star Dou Zun, including Gu Shuangxue, were now a bloody mess, their bodies covered in unsightly and chaotic charred marks. Their Dou Zun level strength was completely insufficient to withstand the sudden eruption of the fire lotus. Fortunately, a Dou Sheng intervened in time, saving their lives. They didn't even have the strength to get up; they were all severely injured. If they didn't receive timely medical attention, their future paths to advancement would be completely different from today.
Only the last two of the eight commanders, Gu Chen and Gu Yao, are clearly beyond saving.
Both of them were unable to withstand the massive explosion. Gu Chen's soul power was not strong enough, and his speed was too slow, so he was trapped in the central area. First, his body was completely destroyed, and then the sea of fire even burned his escaping soul to ashes. This young genius, who had only recently begun to show his talent in the Black Annihilation Army, was simply annihilated by the fire lotus released by Xiao Yan.
Gu Yao had already been severely injured by Xiao Yan during their previous battle, and his physical body was completely destroyed in the first wave of the fire lotus's impact. His soul power tried to escape, but Xiao Yan, who rushed into the sea of fire in time, caught him.
His soul was trapped in the center by Xiao Yan's Crimson Lotus Star Flame and dared not move. Given Gu Yao's current injured state, he would definitely not escape if he came into contact with this fused strange fire. Now his life was in Xiao Yan's hands!
"Xiao Yan, put down Gu Yao, and you might still have a chance to live!" Gu Zhao had already taken advantage of the time to deal with Xiao Yan's Hidden Shadow Needles, but he was still extremely angry at the situation before him. No matter how many reasons he had, he had fallen for a Dou Zun's trick, and had dealt a serious blow to the Gu Clan's prodigy.
Gu Zhao felt even more troubled after seeing the three Dou Sheng experts who had appeared. Although they had taken control of the situation immediately, they hadn't said a word, clearly wanting to see how Gu Zhao would handle the matter.
"What a hassle!"
Although the Ancient Clan now has four Dou Sheng experts here, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Realm soul cannot be suppressed by them to the point of immobility. In other words, although they can easily deal with Xiao Yan, before that, Xiao Yan will definitely be able to make the Ancient Demon perish with him.
It's true that Gu Yao's strength is only an eight-star Dou Zun, but he is, after all, the commander of the Gu Clan's Black Annihilation Army. Gu Chen is already dead, and allowing others to slaughter Gu Clan's prodigies in the heart of the Gu Clan will have a huge impact on the Gu Clan no matter how it spreads.
We must control Xiao Yan and save Gu Yao before we can think about what to do next!
"Xiao Yan, did you hear me? Let me go! Otherwise, with so many Dou Sheng elders here, neither you nor the Xiao family will escape unscathed!" Gu Yao's life was now in Xiao Yan's hands, so his tone softened considerably, but he still touched on Xiao Yan's most sensitive weakness.
He was absolutely certain that, under his arrangements, the Xiao family members would not leave the ancient clan, and Xiao Yan, who cared about his clansmen, would be hesitant to act rashly. As for what to do with Xiao Yan after releasing him, that was a matter for later.
Xiao Yan, however, gave a cold, emotionless laugh, looking at the ancient demon who remained defiant despite being bound by flames, and said, "Ancient demon, you're about to die and you're still threatening me?"
"My second brother was utterly powerless against you. Did you ever imagine that you too would fall into my hands?"
"Xiao Yan, think of your clansmen, your father and elder brother are still alive!"
"The hatred for killing my brother is irreconcilable! Now that I'm here, there's no way I'll let you live any longer."
A cruel glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he coldly looked at Gu Yao and said, "Gu Yao, I'm going to kill you with my own hands in the Gu Clan, what can you do about it?!"
Xiao Yan clenched his right hand tightly, and the Crimson Lotus Star Flame erupted once more. Its radiant light fiercely annihilated the ancient demon within its core. Finally, amidst the ancient demon's screams of agony, its soul was completely destroyed.
Gu Yao, the seventh commander of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army, died at Xiao Yan's hands!
