Chapter 9

An overwhelming pressure suddenly enveloped the area, making the surrounding air seem to be sucked dry, making it hard to breathe. A hint of a cold smile flashed across the young man's face as he said coldly, "Kid, do you want me to give you a break?"

"Don't act tough, acting tough invites lightning!" Facing the young man's cold smile, Xiao Yan said lightly, making the young man somewhat embarrassed, and a trace of anger immediately appeared on his face.

"You... You're asking for it, so don't blame me." The young man was also slightly angry at Xiao Yan's words. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? A chilling aura immediately emanated from his eyes.

After Xiong Yuan finished instructing, he noticed that Xiao Yan was no longer by his side, but Xiao Yan's aura could not escape Xiong Yuan's tracking.

"How did he go to the arena? I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Xiong Yuan, fearing that something might happen to Xiao Yan, hurriedly flew in the direction of the arena.

"Flame Emperor Body—" Xiao Yan shouted, and his body instantly expanded into a ten-thousand-foot giant, with countless fire dragons circling around him, looking quite peculiar.

Wu Yong did not lag behind, releasing his own Battle Emperor Body. With a slight movement, a large palm, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, whistled towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan did not dodge the incoming large palm but instead punched directly at it.

"Bang—"

A dull sound echoed, and the surrounding air immediately carried a visible force. The two ten-thousand-foot figures instantly took several steps back, and a smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth.

"What? Impossible!" Wu Yong's face was full of surprise.

How could Wu Yong not be surprised? Xiao Yan was only at the initial stage of a one-star Battle Emperor, yet he could directly confront him, who was at the mid-stage. If this news spread, how could he save face? Even a mid-stage one-star Battle Emperor was not his match, let alone this guy who was only at the initial stage and was surrounded by countless fire dragons. Wu Yong couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated.

"Great Heaven Creation Palm!" Xiao Yan roared, and his palm instantly expanded several times. Fire dragons condensed in his palm, and a massive palm imprint fiercely rushed towards Wu Yong.

Wu Yong's expression changed slightly, and a ten-thousand-foot long spear suddenly appeared in his hand. He shouted, "Imperial Swift Spear!"

A massive spear shadow instantly flashed, and the two energy impacts collided. Xiao Yan's Great Heaven Creation Palm immediately collapsed, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on Wu Yong's face. After breaking Xiao Yan's attack, he directly swung the long spear in his hand towards Xiao Yan.

Suddenly, a colorful giant ruler appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

"Clang!" A clear collision sound echoed, and Wu Yong's figure was instantly pushed back several steps. He looked at the weapon that suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's hand with a cold expression.

"Stop!" A loud shout echoed behind the two, and Wu Yong's body involuntarily trembled. It was Xiong Yuan's voice.

"Wu Yong, what are you doing? Stop immediately!" Xiong Yuan's face was very ugly. If anything happened to Xiao Yan, he wouldn't be able to explain to the Ming Emperor.

Seeing Xiong Yuan's angry face, Wu Yong immediately lowered his head. His strength was still far from Xiong Yuan's, so he immediately stopped.

At this moment, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Hehe, Brother Xiong Yuan, this senior was just sparring with me and had no intention of hurting me. Please don't blame him, Brother Xiong Yuan."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Wu Yong's face immediately turned red. He didn't expect that in the end, it would be Xiao Yan who pleaded for him, even though he had been so overbearing at the beginning.

"Hmph, Xiao Yan, you don't need to speak well of him. I know this kid's character very well." Xiong Yuan coldly snorted and then looked at Wu Yong, who had his head bowed low, and shouted angrily, "Wu Yong, do you know that he is a member of the Xiao Clan?"
