Chapter 1049: Heavenly Escape Kill

Chapter One Thousand Forty-Seven: Heaven Character Escape - "Kill"

"Kill!"

A cold shout instantly pierced the air. A figure, swift as lightning, shot out from within the group of soldiers and surged forward like a ferocious tiger descending from a mountain. A long spear, glinting with a bone-chilling cold light, arced through the air like a lightning bolt, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind. It aimed directly at Xiao Yan's chest.

The spear hadn't even arrived, but the powerful force it carried caused the hair on Xiao Yan's body to stand on end. The spear point itself was engulfed in a faint cyan glow, appearing extremely fierce.

Xiao Yan's gaze was solemn as he stared at the spear that was rapidly growing in size in his pupils. From the attack of this person, he could faintly sense the aura of a peak Dou Huang expert. This person's combat experience was clearly extremely rich, as the attack was executed without any fancy moves, yet it was direct and ruthless. He knew exactly where Xiao Yan's crucial points were and aimed for them directly.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly, and a trace of silver light flickered beneath his feet. With a slight tilt of his body, he managed to narrowly avoid the spear's thrust.

The spear missed its target, but the figure wielding it didn't pause. His footsteps shifted, and the long spear swirled in his hand, instantly transforming into countless spear shadows that enveloped Xiao Yan. A sharp, cutting sound emerged from the spear tip as it pierced through the air.

Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly faced the other party's ferocious assault. His fists clenched tightly, and threads of Jade Green Heavenly Flame surged out, wrapping around his fists like armor.

"Clang!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fist and threw a punch. It directly met the oncoming spear tip, and a metallic clanging sound erupted. Sparks flew in all directions, and a powerful force surged forth, causing the spear to bend slightly.

However, the person holding the spear was also skilled. As the spear bent, his wrist flicked, and the bent spear tip instantly straightened. It transformed into an even sharper spear shadow that continued its relentless assault towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan continued to block with his fists. His movements were agile and unpredictable, deflecting the onslaught of spear shadows. He moved among the spear shadows like a wandering spirit, his movements swift and mysterious.

The sounds of metal clashing against metal echoed continuously over the square. Sparks flew everywhere, looking like a fireworks display.

However, no one present was in the mood to admire the beauty of the fireworks. Their gazes were fixed on the battlefield, filled with shock. They could all see that Xiao Yan, who was being enveloped by the countless spear shadows, was not actually at a disadvantage. Although the spear shadows were dense and fierce, they couldn't break through his defense. The force that erupted from his fists every time he blocked the spear was also quite terrifying.

The person who attacked Xiao Yan was an expert known for his spear techniques among the soldiers in the Black Imperial City. His strength had reached the peak of the Dou Huang level, and his spear techniques were rumored to be capable of piercing rock and splitting mountains. However, now, even with such a fierce and relentless attack, he couldn't injure Xiao Yan in the slightest.

"This young man… just how strong is he?"

This thought surfaced in the minds of countless people. From the moment Xiao Yan revealed his strength until now, every aspect of his abilities had astonished them. He was so young, yet his strength was comparable to a Dou Zong expert. Such a person was truly rare in the Black Corner Region, even in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

"Hmph! Don't just defend! Fight back!"

The spear shadows suddenly dissipated, and the fierce attacker retreated a few steps. He stared at Xiao Yan with a dark expression and snorted.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly. He naturally wouldn't just defend forever. His feet remained planted firmly on the ground, and the Jade Green Heavenly Flame on his fists swirled, emitting a high temperature. His pupils reflected the image of the spear expert, and his body tensed slightly like a coiled spring.

"Be careful. My spear techniques are unpredictable. If you're not careful, you'll die here today!" The spear expert's spear moved slowly in his hand, pointing towards Xiao Yan.

"Is that so? Then let me see how unpredictable your spear techniques are!"

Xiao Yan chuckled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. His body flickered, leaving behind an afterimage, and he appeared directly in front of the spear expert like a ghost.

The spear expert's eyes narrowed sharply. He hadn't expected Xiao Yan's speed to be so terrifying. Before he could react, a fist wrapped in a fierce flame arrived directly in front of him.

"Break!"

With a low roar, the spear expert forcefully swung his spear, forming a spear shadow that directly met Xiao Yan's fist.

"Clang!"

A clear sound echoed as the spear bent violently under the impact of Xiao Yan's fist. A powerful force surged through the spear, forcing the spear expert to retreat several steps before he could stabilize himself. His arm holding the spear trembled slightly.

"How is that possible? He's so strong!"

The spear expert's eyes were filled with disbelief. He was a peak Dou Huang, yet he was pushed back by Xiao Yan with just one punch. If this was a Dou Zong, it would be understandable, but this young man seemed to be only at the Dou Huang level.

"Heaven Character Escape - 'Kill'!"

Xiao Yan didn't give the spear expert any time to recover. He took advantage of the momentum and stepped forward, his fist wrapped in the Jade Green Heavenly Flame. With a strange and unpredictable trajectory, it shot towards the spear expert's throat like lightning.

The spear expert's expression changed dramatically. He instinctively raised his spear to block.

"Clang!"

Another clear sound. The spear tip bent, and Xiao Yan's fist continued forward, unimpeded.

The spear expert quickly dodged to the side, but Xiao Yan's fist still grazed his shoulder. A tearing sound was heard, and a piece of his armor was instantly incinerated by the intense heat, leaving a charred mark on his skin.

The spear expert groaned as a wave of pain shot through his shoulder. His gaze towards Xiao Yan was filled with shock and fear.

"His attack is too fierce! And his speed is incredible! I can't block it!"

The spear expert felt a chill in his heart. He knew that if he hadn't dodged in time, that punch would have hit his throat, and he would have been dead for sure.

Xiao Yan didn't pursue. He stood where he was, his face calm, as if the previous attack was just a casual one.

The spear expert retreated further, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan. He no longer dared to underestimate this young man.

The surrounding soldiers also looked at Xiao Yan with awe and fear. They had never seen someone so powerful at such a young age.

At this moment, within the Black Imperial City, a figure in a luxurious robe was standing on a tall building, observing the scene in the square. His eyes were sharp, and his face was filled with a cold and stern expression.

"Young master, this young man is too strong. He might be a formidable opponent." A figure in black robes appeared beside the luxurious-robed man and said respectfully.

The luxurious-robed man's gaze flickered as he stared at Xiao Yan. A hint of coldness appeared at the corners of his mouth. "Interesting. I didn't expect such a person to appear in the Black Corner Region. However, no matter how strong he is, he's still just one person. How can he fight against my entire Black Imperial City?"

The figure in black robes remained silent.

The luxurious-robed man retracted his gaze and looked down at the square. His voice was cold and filled with killing intent. "Send a command. All soldiers, attack together! Kill this person!"

"Yes, young master!" The figure in black robes responded and disappeared in a flash.

As the luxurious-robed man's command was issued, the atmosphere in the square instantly changed. The surrounding soldiers, who were previously just spectators, now had cold expressions on their faces and killing intent in their eyes. They slowly surrounded Xiao Yan, forming a dense circle.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression turned grim. He knew that the real battle was about to begin.

"Hehe, interesting. Black Imperial City, you're really going all out." Xiao Yan chuckled coldly, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding soldiers.

The spear expert who had fought with Xiao Yan earlier also retreated into the crowd, his face pale. He knew that even he couldn't stop Xiao Yan alone, let alone with the combined strength of the entire Black Imperial City.

The killing intent in the square grew stronger and stronger. The air was filled with a suffocating pressure.

Xiao Yan stood in the center of the circle, his body emitting a faint green flame. His eyes were sharp, and his fists were clenched tightly. He was ready for the coming storm.

"Kill!"

A loud roar erupted from the surrounding soldiers, and they charged towards Xiao Yan like a tidal wave. Countless weapons, carrying fierce Dou Qi, attacked Xiao Yan from all directions.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. He stomped his foot on the ground, and his body shot up into the air like a rocket. He dodged the initial wave of attacks and unleashed a powerful burst of Jade Green Heavenly Flame, creating a fiery barrier around himself.

The soldiers' attacks hit the fiery barrier, and a series of explosions erupted. The barrier trembled violently, but it held firm.

Xiao Yan hovered in the air, looking down at the densely packed soldiers below. His face was calm, but his heart was filled with a cold determination. He knew that he had to break through this encirclement.

"Heaven Character Escape - 'Kill'!"

Xiao Yan let out a low roar, and a vast amount of Jade Green Heavenly Flame surged out of his body, forming a massive fire lotus in his hand. The fire lotus spun rapidly, emitting a terrifying heat that distorted the surrounding space.

"Go!"

With a fierce wave of his hand, Xiao Yan sent the fire lotus flying towards the dense crowd of soldiers below.

The fire lotus grew larger and larger as it flew, its terrifying power causing the soldiers to feel a sense of impending doom. Their faces were filled with fear as they desperately tried to dodge, but it was too late.

"Boom!"

The fire lotus exploded in the center of the crowd, unleashing a terrifying wave of heat and energy. A blinding light engulfed the area, and a deafening explosion echoed throughout the Black Imperial City.

When the light faded, a large crater was visible where the fire lotus had exploded. Within the crater, there were no longer any soldiers, only charred remains. The surrounding soldiers who had managed to survive were scattered, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.

The power of Xiao Yan's attack had shocked everyone present. They had never imagined that a single person could unleash such a devastating attack.

Xiao Yan hovered in the air, his chest rising and falling slightly. Using such a powerful attack consumed a significant amount of his Dou Qi.

He looked at the remaining soldiers and knew that he had to continue fighting. He couldn't afford to stop now.

With a cold glint in his eyes, Xiao Yan charged towards the remaining soldiers, his fists wrapped in the Jade Green Heavenly Flame. The battle continued, even more fiercely than before.
