109. The plan succeeded.
Lu Huangtian was doing something, and he didn't seem to care at all during the pursuit of Xiao Yan. Instead, he just kept going at a leisurely pace.
Therefore, even with such a large difference in strength, Xiao Yan was still constantly on the run.
Therefore, even He Kui was extremely focused at this moment, as he didn't know if Lu Huangtian would suddenly launch a sneak attack.
Xiao Yan had absolutely no ability to stop him. If Lu Huangtian were to launch a sneak attack now, it would only be more terrifying than the attack he had just delivered.
What puzzled He Kui even more was Xiao Yan. For some reason, Xiao Yan's trajectory was unusually strange. He didn't run out of the city, but instead kept moving around within the battle zone.
You must know that Lu Huangtian is no saint; if he wants to make a move, he will not hesitate because of his own people.
However, He Kui could only keep dodging the pursuit of the Dou Zun puppet while praying that Xiao Yan could stall for a little longer. In fact, he didn't believe that Xiao Yan could survive from Lu Huangtian's clutches.
From the moment Lu Huangtian decided to kill him personally, Xiao Yan's fate was sealed. However, he needed time to destroy the Dou Zun puppet, so he could only trust Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was racing, and his eyes were filled with an uncontrollable madness.
He wanted to escape unscathed, but the situation was hopeless. Lu Huangtian had already noticed him, and Lu Chen had locked onto him; a peaceful resolution was impossible.
There are just too many people I care about, and it's impossible for me to abandon any of them—Xun'er, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, Xu Yingwu, or Su Zhang—and leave.
Then we have no choice but to fight with all our might!
"Teacher, do you think it can be successful?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao one last time, his voice trembling with anxiety.
"So you've got moments of hesitation and doubt too, huh? Since we're ready to go all in, let's not worry about what will happen if we fail!"
Upon hearing Yao Lao's response, Xiao Yan felt an irrepressible surge of heroic spirit. Since life and death were already out of his control, he might as well go all out!
Xiao Yan felt that the energy he had been constantly mobilizing had finally brought a response. "Lu Huangtian, since you want to kill me, it won't be that easy!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.
Xiao Yan immediately stopped his fleeing pace, turned around, and rushed towards Lu Huangtian's location.
Lu Huangtian couldn't help but smile as he watched Xiao Yan rushing towards him. In his opinion, Xiao Yan's actions were no different from a moth drawn to a flame.
"I was hoping to let you live a little longer, but I didn't expect you to be so eager to die. You don't actually think your secretly prepared techniques can have any effect on me, do you?"
With a wave of his emotionless hand, Lu Huangtian instantly enveloped his arm with silvery-white patterns. His control over these patterns surpassed that of everyone in the Xuanwen Sect, and the patterns could change according to his will.
Although it was just a casual wave of Lu Huangtian's hand, in order to kill Xiao Yan, this attack could be considered his full-force strike.
The invisible blade, brought forth by the sharp gold pattern, can only be detected by the space it slices through as it cuts through the area.
When Xiao Yan saw Lu Huangtian make his move, the fervor in his eyes reached its peak.
Raising his right hand, a pure black vortex erupted from Xiao Yan's palm. He even had to use his left hand to support his right to maintain his balance. Black flames reappeared behind Xiao Yan. Previously, the flames had been somewhat blurry, but this time they were slightly clearer. Upon closer inspection, within a few inches of the black flames, there was not a single ray of light; all visible light was swallowed by the flames.
Suddenly, all the light behind Xiao Yan was swallowed up, leaving only an endless black curtain.
Then, the vortex in Xiao Yan's palm continued to expand, transforming into a huge black hole of pure black color, from which a devouring power strong enough to tear through space surged forth.
Even though the invisible blade was launched by a Dou Zun, it was still attracted and pulled by the black hole. Lu Huangtian obviously did not expect that Xiao Yan's trump card was like this.
Just as Lu Huangtian was about to make a move, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
The devouring power within the black hole surged wildly, eventually swallowing the terrifying, invisible blade entirely.
The moment after the Devouring Power completely absorbed the Invisible Blade, Xiao Yan felt a massive energy about to burst out of his arm, causing him to explode!
Cracks appeared continuously on Xiao Yan's right hand. The full-force attack of a Dou Zun level, combined with the energy that had been continuously fed back by the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, filled Xiao Yan's entire body.
Lu Huangtian looked at Xiao Yan with some confusion. Although Xiao Yan had absorbed one of his attacks, the enormous energy was enough to overwhelm him.
But the next moment, Xiao Yan answered his doubts with his actions.
Using a portion of the Dou Qi that Xiao Yan exhaled from his right hand, he instantly approached the Dou Zun puppet that had been attracted by He Kui.
"Oh no!" Lu Huangtian exclaimed.
But it was too late to stop him; Xiao Yan had already reached the top of the Dou Zun puppet's head.
Seeing the Dou Zun puppet below, whose reaction was slightly slow, look up at him, Xiao Yan smiled once again.
"Lu Zhi, do you remember this move?" Xiao Yan roared.
Then Xiao Yan aimed his right hand at the Dou Zun puppet, and a black hole more than ten feet long burst forth from Xiao Yan's hand.
Of course, it's hard to say that this is a black hole, because black holes are filled with brilliant light, mainly in a blood-red color.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, He Kui immediately understood and moved aside to intercept Lu Huangtian. Although he was weaker than Lu Huangtian, he was still a genuine Dou Zun expert, and he could easily intercept him for a while!
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, completely erupted, with massive amounts of Dou Qi and energy gushing out from the black hole, showering the Dou Zun puppet with a rain of Dou Qi.
The Red Lotus Karmic Flame surged wildly from Xiao Yan's body, and Xiao Yan even felt that if his strength were any weaker, the source of the Red Lotus Karmic Flame would probably break out of his body!
Under the onslaught of the Dou Qi Waterfall, the Dou Zun Puppet's body shattered continuously, before the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame enveloped it entirely.
As Xiao Yan saw the Dou Zun puppet shattering, the confusion in his eyes lessened, replaced by a proud look.
Looking down at Xiao Yan, the puppet actually smiled with relief, "Xiao Yan, you really are freakishly strong!"
Lu Zhi uttered his last words with great difficulty, then opened his arms and was burned to ashes by the raging Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
The Red Lotus Karmic Flame's feedback was activated once again, and Xiao Yan's body was filled with unprecedentedly powerful energy, constantly impacting his body. However, this energy was also constantly repairing Xiao Yan's body, which had shattered due to being unable to withstand the Dou Qi.
Amidst the feedback and collapse, Xiao Yan's aura continued to rise, easily surpassing Yang Yue, Xu Chengze, and others, reaching a new realm.
