Dealing with just these Dou Huang experts would be troublesome, but with the trump cards her clan had given her, she was confident she'd be fine.
But if this Xiao Yan also joined the fray, then she was in danger.
"Really, brother, hurry up and come," the sinister man said, a hint of excitement flashing across his face as he saw Yao Ling's beautiful face betray a flicker of unease.
However, his excitement was cut short in the next moment, because Xiao Yan slowly spoke again: "What if, I planned to keep this beauty all to myself?"
"Heh heh, you're overestimating yourself, kid," the sinister man sneered. "If that's the case, then we'll tie you up, let you watch but not touch, and let you burn to death with desire."
Hearing the conversation between the two ruffians, Yao Ling couldn't help but glare at Xiao Yan, asking coldly, "Are you going to help me or harm me?"
She had already made up her mind: if Xiao Yan dared to have any ill intentions toward her, she would run immediately!
Where there's life, there's hope.
When she returned to her clan, she would ask her brother to incinerate these ruffians. Even if Xiao Yan was the Saint Son of the Xiao Clan, he would still be reprimanded by her brother since he would be in the wrong.
"Of course, I'm helping you. We're relatives, after all," Xiao Yan said, giving Yao Ling a warm smile.
"Relatives separated by several hundred generations?" Yao Ling thought to herself, but her face remained impassive. "If that's the case, then let's get to it."
Xiao Yan nodded.
"Heh heh, just the two of you? Let me see what's so impressive about the elites of your ancient clans." The sinister young man sneered, waving his hand. "Brothers, attack!"
"Today, let this kid watch us enjoy this little beauty." With that, he took the lead, charging forward, and the Dou Huang experts behind him also unleashed their auras.
A glance revealed they were all at the peak of Dou Huang. No wonder the young man was so confident.
"I'll hold off this Grade 7 Alchemist. The four of you go deal with that black-robed kid first, then come help." The sinister young man cackled, attacking Yao Ling.
If his soul wasn't at the Grade 7 level, he'd be in some danger facing this female alchemist. After all, her terrifying soul power could wipe out the battle strength of ordinary Dou Huangs to less than a tenth.
But after his soul reached Grade 7, he had some ability to protect himself against this beauty.
As long as those four Dou Huangs dealt with the black-robed kid, it wouldn't be difficult for five people to deal with a little beauty.
He was just thinking when he felt a terrifying power, enough to sting his soul, come rushing towards him.
"Soul Skill!" The sinister young man's expression changed. He quickly altered the hand seals, and invisible soul power condensed into an invisible shield, enveloping him.
The powerful soul force slammed into him. A look of pain flashed across his face, and his body stumbled back dozens of steps, with two tears of blood streaming from his eyes.
The geniuses of the ancient races are truly terrifying. The young man's heart chilled.
If it weren't for the fact that the inheritance of the Yin Yang Evil Saint also contained two ordinary Soul Skills, he would have likely been seriously injured by that terrifying soul power.
"However, the stronger you are, the more satisfying it will be for me later!" He let out a strange laugh and continued to pester Yao Ling.
As long as he could stall until that black-clothed boy was dealt with, he could taste the fruits of victory. Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a lion's roar.
He saw that the originally somewhat thin young man was now shirtless, and his height had suddenly increased to two meters.
He had a tall, muscular build, like the most perfect warrior. His muscles looked as if they were cast in bronze, with lines that hinted at terrifying explosive power.
A tattoo of a cyan lion with wings on his back seemed to move on his body like a living thing, and faint cyan flames flowed within the lines.
"This kid is strange, we need to finish this quickly!" The Yin Yang Evil Saint suddenly felt a bad premonition.
"You should worry about yourself!" A cold female voice rang out, and another terrifying soul force slammed towards him.
The Yin Yang Evil Saint's expression changed, and he hurriedly used all his skills to resist.
On the other side, Xiao Yan, after activating his Crimson Flame Demon Body, cracked his neck, looking at the four Dou Huangs in front of him like a demon god.
"Brothers, this kid isn't simple! Let's attack together!" As soon as a Dou Huang finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot.
Dark attribute Dou Qi, extremely skilled at assassination.
The other three Dou Huangs acted with perfect coordination, unleashing their most powerful Soul Skills.
"Profound Ice Slash!"
"Fiery Aura Demon Fist!"
"Thick Earth Mountain Crushing Palm!"
Xiao Yan grinned menacingly at the three incoming attacks.
Without any pretense, he threw a punch, followed by an elbow strike, and then a sweeping leg kick.
The attacks of the three Dou Huangs, which were previously immensely powerful, were shattered by his terrifying physical strength. The residual power even forced them to retreat dozens of steps, their faces filled with shock.
At that moment, a strange shadow appeared behind Xiao Yan. The dark-attribute Dou Huang lunged forward with a sharp dagger.
"Dark Night Kill!"
He had a look of satisfaction in his eyes, as if he'd just pulled off a successful scheme.
A peerless genius from an ancient race was about to fall at his hands. What an accomplishment!
However, when his dagger plunged into Xiao Yan's kidney area, he saw that not a single drop of blood came out.
"An energy body!" The Dou Huang's expression shifted. The next moment, a ferocious fist pierced the void, slamming into his back.
Boom! The Dou Huang's face instantly turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.
His body was directly smashed into the ground of the ancient city, leaving a deep human-shaped impression.
Xiao Yan unleashed a terrifying suction force from his palm, pulling the half-dead Dou Huang from the ground, then gripped the opponent's neck like he was holding a chicken.
"Is that all you've got? Daring to play at assassination?" Xiao Yan sneered, his hand tightening slightly.
"Crack!" A Nine-Star Dou Huang had his neck snapped.
"No, impossible!" The three Dou Huangs in the distance revealed a hint of fear on their faces. A Nine-Star Dou Huang, defeated by the other party in just two moves.
The terror of this young man far exceeded their expectations.
The sinister young man in the distance couldn't help but flinch after seeing this scene. He had thought this young man was just a lackey who tagged along with the girl to join the fun.
But he didn't expect the other party to be no less terrifying than the girl.
"We retreat!" he shouted, but a powerful soul attack came at him again.
After the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, the area around the altar was in ruins. The corpses of the four Dou Huangs lay scattered on the ground, and Xiao Yan held the sinister young man by the neck.
"Spare, spare my life! I, I can give you anything!" The Yin Yang Evil Saint's face revealed a look of pleading.
"What do you have that you can give me?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
"I have a method for soul cultivation."
"Someone delivered that to me the day I was born."
"I have Grade 7 formulas."
"I've got Grade 9 ones here, too."
"I have the Yin Yang Evil Saint legacy, which can help you cultivate together!"
"I have... hmm? I actually don't have that!" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.
"As long as you spare me..." Before the sinister youth could finish speaking, Xiao Yan exerted force.
"Crack." Another Dou Huang's neck, like a chicken's, was snapped by Xiao Yan.
At the same time, powerful soul force transformed into a long blade, fiercely slashing towards the youth's soul.
After a shrill scream, the sinister youth's life completely vanished within the ruins.
"Next is to obtain these Yin Yang Twin Flames."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, glancing at Yao Ling, who was also staring at the altar.
There are updates at noon and eight in the evening.
