Xiao Yan and Lu Zhi clashed once again. Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Karmic Flame caused Lu Zhi considerable suffering. Unable to resist the burning Red Lotus Karmic Flame in his heart, Lu Zhi had no choice but to retreat.
A hidden dark-elemental expert suddenly thrust forward, but Xiao Yan sidestepped and unleashed an Eight Extremes Collapse, trading injury for injury!
The dark-elemental expert dared not fight Xiao Yan head-on and could only abandon this attack. However, some of the force of the Eight Extremes Collapse was not dissipated, and he was still knocked away.
The woman, seeing Xiao Yan's condition, dared not approach him. Her poison hadn't caused him any trouble whatsoever. The Red Lotus Karmic Flame on Xiao Yan's hand ignited with the slightest touch, and she was powerless to stop it.
After bathing in the spiritual spring, Xiao Yan's strength did not increase directly, but his body was free of any burdens.
With the addition of the Bone-Growing and Blood-Coagulating Flower, the Fighting Saint's arm and himself were perfectly integrated, raising his combat power to a new level.
Even with Lu Zhi and two Dou Huangs joining forces, they couldn't gain the upper hand against Xiao Yan. On the contrary, Xiao Yan's aggressive and fearless attacks made the three of them suffer greatly.
The unwritten rule in the outside world is that alchemists are generally not very strong in combat. Therefore, although they have countless pills, they still need the protection of strong individuals. However, Xiao Yan is already close to the sixth rank of alchemist, and his combat strength is exceptionally formidable; he is willing to trade injuries for injuries. Therefore, although the fight did not last long, Lu Zhi and his two companions found themselves in grave danger.
Seeing Lu Zhi and the other two retreat, Xiao Yan glanced around and realized that his side had fallen into a great disadvantage. The four major forces had surrounded them without forcing them. As long as someone was willing to run, they would generally turn a blind eye, because these geniuses knew that winning or losing was not that important to them, and there was no need to fight to the death.
Therefore, given the already significant disparity in strength, their own side is becoming increasingly precarious.
Even though Xiao Xun'er and Xu Yingwu had the upper hand on the battlefield, and even though Qing Lin had commanded the Nine Netherworld Python to help with the battle, the difference in strength was still too great.
"Xiao Yan, your defeat is inevitable today! Sever your meridians, and I'll spare your life, how about that?" Lu Zhi said with a smile, looking at the favorable situation.
Xiao Yan didn't react much to Lu Zhi's appearance, but there were already casualties among the direct descendants of the Echo Sect, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and the Bright Flower Tower.
"I have no choice but to break through!" Xiao Yan thought to himself. He couldn't let all these people perish here. Moreover, with this defeat today, he would probably be hunted down by the four major powers in the future, and his ranking on the leaderboard would likely be in suspense again.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to make a move, he suddenly realized something and frowned.
Then Xu Yingwu, Wan Qing, Lu Zhi, and the other powerful figures stopped their actions one after another, and finally everyone gathered there began to sense that something was wrong.
Because—an extremely powerful aura rushed in!
A powerful aura appeared in everyone's perception.
"What is it?"
"We came here!"
"Run! Run!"
The number of people gathered here was not small, but upon sensing that aura, they were all terrified! It was the aura of an eighth-tier magical beast!
Xiao Xun'er, Xu Yingwu, and the others quickly gathered around Xiao Yan. Xu Yingwu asked, "Junior Uncle, what should we do?"
Eighth-tier magical beasts are no joke; one wrong move and they could wipe out all the geniuses here. The group was extremely anxious, but Lu Zhi and his forces hadn't lifted their encirclement, so whether they could escape was still a question!
Just as Xiao Yan was about to say something, the aura suddenly increased in speed and began to rush towards this place.
"Lu Zhi, aren't we leaving?" Wan Qing asked Lu Zhi, her expression anxious. Once they were entangled by that rapidly approaching aura, none of them could escape. Moreover, judging from its speed, it was very likely a flying magical beast, a speed that would make it difficult for even Lu Zhi and his companions to escape.
Moreover, their life-saving items had already been destroyed when Xiao Yan launched his sneak attack.
Lu Zhi looked at Xiao Yan and the others, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't rush, we'll lure the demonic beasts to attack Xiao Yan and the others!"
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, an eighth-tier magical beast arrived!
"Anyone who dares to bully Xiao Yan, I'll beat them to death!" A voice came from afar.
Xiao Yan and the others relaxed, and even their faces lit up with joy, because they were very familiar with the owner of the voice—it was none other than Zi Yan, who was hard to find in the Myriad Beasts Space!
However, to Xiao Yan's surprise, Zi Yan's aura had already reached the Dou Zong realm.
Moreover, what was beneath her feet was not some sixth or seventh-order magical beast, but the most orthodox eighth-order magical beast, the six-winged Azure Wind Eagle!
The encirclement formed by the four major forces was a joke in front of the eighth-tier magical beast, the six-winged Azure Wind Eagle, which broke through the encirclement with just one charge.
Zi Yan only needed to look around once to roughly understand the situation on the scene, and then looked at Lu Zhi opposite her.
He patted the six-winged azure eagle's rear end, pointed at Lu Zhi, and said, "You idiot, go beat him up!"
Upon seeing the newcomers, Lu Zhi and his companions prepared to retreat, but as soon as Zi Yan gave the order, the Six-Winged Azure Wind Eagle charged towards Lu Zhi.
The four major forces immediately began to flee in all directions, but Zi Yan no longer paid attention to them. Instead, she turned around and said to Xiao Yan and the others, "How was it? Wasn't Sister Zi Yan's rescue timely?"
Xiao Xun'er smiled and clapped her hands in agreement. Qing Lin nodded in agreement, and Xu Yingwu looked at Zi Yan with a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yan didn't give Zi Yan much face, lightly tapping her head with his fist and saying, "Where have you been all this time? We've been looking for you everywhere, we almost thought you'd been eaten by some magical beast."
Seeing Zi Yan made Xiao Yan very happy. After all, not being able to find Zi Yan had been Xiao Yan's biggest worry. Now that Zi Yan was standing here safely, and her cultivation had even reached the Dou Zong realm, it seemed that she had gained a lot of benefits!
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zi Yan put her hands on her hips and said, "Hmph, this is the second time I've saved you."
Xiao Yan listened with a puzzled expression for a moment, then seemed to have figured something out and said, "The voice in my heart is yours?"
Zi Yan nodded. Xiao Yan was also quite surprised. He hadn't done anything since entering the Beast Space, but the voice in his heart always guided him at crucial moments. He couldn't remember whose voice it was until Zi Yan admitted it, and Xiao Yan suddenly realized something!
Then Xiao Yan asked, "Then why did you only help me? Why didn't you help Qing Lin back then?"
Zi Yan retorted, "Don't even mention it! The aura around Qing Lin is incredibly strong. You know who's there; my power can't even reach that area!"
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. Ming Mei was an incredibly powerful figure; although she couldn't compare to a Dou Di, she was still a peerless expert. Isolating some power was entirely possible!
