At this moment, Yan Luo Tian had lost his former arrogance. The golden sleeves of his robe had been torn, and those with better eyesight could see a fist-sized slit in his chest, with blood stains seeping faintly. As they watched his breath rapidly weaken, like a dying chicken, everyone showed an incredulous expression.
Just a moment ago, Yan Luo Tian was so arrogant and domineering, how could he become like a dead chicken now? One had to know that he was a Dou Ancestor! Who was the one who came!?
On top of the fortress walls, Yun Yun looked at that familiar figure, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"That's Master Xiao Ming!"
"Master Xiao Ming?"
Hearing Yun Yun say this, all the experts of the Jia Ma Empire began to look more carefully at the figure in the sky.
Not everyone had seen Xiao Ming, but his portrait had always circulated within the Jia Ma Empire, so after careful observation, these people recognized him.
"It really is Master Xiao Ming!"
"Hahaha, now our Jia Ma Empire is safe!"
The faces of Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bodong, who were saved by Xiao Ming, were also filled with joy. In fact, the two of them recognized Xiao Ming even before Yun Yun, after all, Xiao Ming had saved them both just a moment ago, and they had a brief interaction.
Unlike the cheers of the Jia Ma Empire, the atmosphere of the three allied armies was somewhat silent. Especially the troops of the Luo Yan Empire, who were even more deathly silent.
In front of everyone, their strongest member had been directly killed on the spot, and the impact on morale was naturally self-evident.
"Sect Master?!"
Looking at Yan Luo Tian in Xiao Ming's hand, the strongest members of the Golden Geese Sect were the first to react. A dozen strong members with double wings on their backs flapped them and flew towards Xiao Ming, obviously wanting to snatch Yan Luo Tian from his hands.
Looking at them from the corner of his eyes, Xiao Ming put the now-dead Yan Luo Tian in his storage ring and then gently waved his palm. Immediately, the fire-red Dou Qi turned into a Dou Qi palm a dozen meters in size and fiercely slapped the Golden Geese Sect experts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A dozen collisions sounded, and the experts of the Golden Goose Sect, who had just attacked with great momentum, all spewed blood from their mouths and flew backward.
After doing all this, Xiao Ming smiled and looked at Jia Xing Tian and the others not far away.
"Elder Jia, I read the letter you sent. I wasn't too late, was I?"
"Haha, not at all, not at all." Jia Xing Tian replied with a relieved smile. The Jia Ma Empire had not suffered any significant losses, so of course, it was not too late.
"I have to thank you for your intervention this time, Master Xiao Ming."
"You don't need to thank me, the Jia Ma Empire is my birthplace anyway, so it's only natural for me to take action."
Of course, the corpses of the Dou Ancestor powerhouses were also part of the reason, Xiao Ming added inwardly.
Not knowing Xiao Ming's inner thoughts, Jia Xing Tian clasped his hands together and said, "Master Xiao Ming is noble and virtuous!"
Jia Xing Tian's words were just a way of flattering him because of his superior strength and position.
Xiao Ming also understood this, so he only smiled slightly before looking at Xie Bi Yan as well as the Three Mulan Elders.
Seeing Xiao Ming direct his gaze towards them, Xie Bi Yan's entire body was covered with goosebumps.
He could clearly sense that Xiao Ming was only in the one-star Dou Ancestor realm. However, for some reason, he was able to give him, a three-star Dou Ancestor, a threatening feeling.
Just now, Yan Luo Tian being directly killed by him in an instant also proved that this Xiao Ming was indeed an enigma, even he himself could not do the same.
Thinking that attacking the Jia Ma Empire would require more discussion, Xie Bi Yan decided to retreat for now.
With this thought, his somewhat ugly face showed an unsightly smile, and he said in a hoarse voice as gently as possible.
"Master Xiao Ming, your reputation precedes you. I have heard of your legendary feats for some time now. Seeing you in person, I can attest that your fame is well-deserved."
"I will give Master Xiao Ming face and will no longer attack the Jia Ma Empire. I also promise never to invade it again in my lifetime. Retreat the troops!"
After saying this, Xie Bi Yan immediately tried to sneak away, but just after flying a short distance, he had to stop.
Looking at the woman in white in front of him, Xie Bi Yan's eyes revealed a hint of wariness, and his face looked at Xiao Ming with an unusually ugly expression.
"What does Master Xiao Ming mean by this? I've already given instructions to retreat the troops. What else do you want? Do you want to force me to stay?!"
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Hehe, Xie Bi Yan, you are a well-known expert. You don't think you can just leave so easily, do you?"
The people of the Chu Yun Empire have always been ruthless and unpredictable. Today, Xiao Ming stopped Xie Bi Yan's misdeed. But if he was allowed to leave safely, he could still cause some trouble. Xiao Ming was not afraid, but the Xiao family could not deal with him.
The strongest expert Xiao Ming had left in the Xiao family was only the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The Amethyst Winged Lion King really couldn't handle a Dou Ancestor who specialized in poison. Moreover, the Xiao family was located in the northeastern region, directly on the border with the Chu Yun Empire.
"Xie Bi Yan, This very day next year will be the anniversary of your death, mark my words!" Jia Xing Tian cursed angrily. He was extremely confident in Xiao Ming's strength.
When they were at Misty Cloud Mountain, Xiao Ming had fought alone against two Dou Ancestors, whose auras were much more powerful than Xie Bi Yan's. Jia Xing Tian even felt that Xie Bi Yan might not last more than ten moves in Xiao Ming's hands.
"Do you truly believe you have this old man at your mercy to make such bold statements?" Xie Bi Yan retorted with a tone of disdain. He was a well-respected cultivator and deemed himself to be powerful, so he felt that Xiao Ming and Jia Xing Tian were underestimating him.
"Xian'er, go ahead." Xiao Ming didn't bother wasting time talking to him and gave directions to his partner who had been blocking Xie Bi Yan's path of retreat.
Upon receiving Xiao Ming's instruction, Xiao Yi Xian emitted a dense purple poisonous Dou Qi around her body. The poisonous power contained in it made Xie Bi Yan, a Dou Ancestor who had played with poison all his life, pale.
After shouting, "Three Mulan Elders, attack her quickly!" Xie Bi Yan led the Three Mulan Elders to attack Xiao Yi Xian, ignoring Xiao Ming behind him.
They wanted to repel Xiao Yi Xian together and then simply run away.
Only a fool would fight Xiao Ming, who had killed Yan Luo Tian in seconds.
The idea was nice, but the reality was cruel.
Xiao Yi Xian was no ordinary Dou Ancestor, and her realm was also in the three-star stage.
Therefore, the attacks of Xie Bi Yan and the Three Mulan Elders did not turn out as expected, as they were all blocked.
Before they could attack once more, Xiao Ming arrived in an instant and launched a powerful attack, directly sending Xiong Tou, the Mulan Elder who had used the Three Beast Savage Skill to raise his strength to Dou Ancestor, flying hundreds of meters.
The Three Beast Savage Skill had positioning and distance requisites, so Xiao Ming's attack directly shattered the Three Elders' formation.
"Third elder!" Seeing Xiong Tou flying off into the air, the other two Mulan Valley Elders were stupefied, and then quickly reacted, wanting to flap their wings and fly to Xiong Tou's side to regroup and reform the formation.
But Xiao Ming would not allow them to do so. As they were halfway through their flight, a silvery light flashed, and the heads of the two men fell from the sky, blood spurting from their necks like fountains, spilling all over the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a spear made of flames was sent towards the unconscious figure of Xiong Tou at lightning speed, turning his body into ashes.
Seeing the Three Mulan Elders die so quickly, Xie Bi Yan suddenly panicked.
"Xiao Ming! Do you have to be so extreme in your actions!?"
What he got in response was Xiao Yi Xian's overwhelming attack.
Xiao Ming did not immediately get involved in the battle between her and Xie Bi Yan, but let the two of them fight each other first.
Xiao Yi Xian had broken through not long ago, and this battle would benefit her in dominating her new realm.
After a while, sensing that it was time, Xiao Ming summoned three flames and quickly changed the postures of his fingers, causing the flames to intertwine and merge, forming a huge seal that headed towards Xie Bi Yan.
Being entangled in a battle with Xiao Yi Xian, Xie Bi Yan could only form a thick black protective shield on his body to face the sudden attack.
Hiss!
The colored seal came into contact with the black energy shield, and immediately, the Dou Qi in the shield began to boil. Seeing this development, Xie Bi Yan's face changed drastically and he let out a choked growl as another wave of black Dou Qi was sent into the energy shield.
Unfortunately for him, Xiao Ming's color seal was not so simple to block.
A moment later, the energy shield shattered, opening a large hole, through which the seal ruthlessly imprinted on Xie Bi Yan.
"Blargh!"
Xie Bi Yan vomited a mouthful of blood that gushed out as his aura weakened.
His face contorted with anger as he looked at Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian. "Hehe, you two make a good couple, both of you are so ruthless and unforgiving. Since you don't give me a chance to survive, then this old man has no choice but to give up. But if you want me to die, then you must pay a bloody price!"
At this moment, Yan Luo Tian had lost his former arrogance. The golden sleeves of his robe had been torn, and those with better eyesight could see a fist-sized slit in his chest, with blood stains seeping faintly. As they watched his breath rapidly weaken, like a dying chicken, everyone showed an incredulous expression.
