It was obvious that Nan Yanfei had never fought with anyone from the Sirius Sect before. He was very fast, but in Hua Xiao's eyes, he was no different from an ordinary cultivator. He could even clearly see the expression on Nan Yanfei's face.
Bang, bang, bang …
Hundreds of stars exploded, turning into powerful palm imprints that landed on Nan Yanfei's body. Nan Yanfei was once again sent flying, and he groaned as fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
On the island, millions of cultivators were fighting, and they were all shocked by this scene. A Realmling was actually being suppressed.
Nan Yanfei was astonished. He had long heard that the people from the Sirius Sect were difficult to deal with. This person was one of the Sirius Sect's true disciples and a King-Ranked expert. He was indeed powerful and had the strength of a Hunter. Coupled with the Sirius Sect's battle techniques, even Nan Yanfei was temporarily suppressed.
Hua Xiao's expression did not relax. Nan Yanfei had not revealed his true strength, and he did not think that the previous palm strike had caused much damage to him.
"Is this Sirius Sect's way of fighting?
It seems like speed is useless against you. Since that's the case, I can only rely on absolute power, "Nan Yanfei said calmly. Following that, his entire body began to change. Barbs appeared on his body, and his body gradually enlarged. His entire being seemed to transform into a Taotie as he charged towards Hua Xiao.
Hua Xiao's heart trembled as he struck out with both palms. Sirius Palm!
With a bang, the stars exploded, but it did not harm Nan Yanfei at all. The barbs on his body had blocked off the power of Sirius Palm, and his fist landed on Hua Xiao. This was the first time he had struck Hua Xiao since the start of the battle, and this strike had almost caused Hua Xiao to collapse.
A Taotie was already terrifying, and it could devour without end. The more it ate, the stronger its power would become. It could be said that Nan Yanfei's punch far surpassed Hua Xiao's Sirius Palm.
Hua Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was smashed into the island's ground. With him as the starting point, the island began to crack in all directions.
Nan Yan Fei sneered and leaped up. Then, he suddenly charged down. What followed was a weight that even the void could not withstand. Below the island, Hua Xiao's eyes suddenly widened. The hundreds of stars on the surface of his body suddenly expanded, almost doubling in size. Then, the stars exploded.
Thousands of stars exploded, and the power was several times stronger than before. What was even more frightening was that he was able to control his fighting strength to below 200,000. This meant that Hua Xiao had not lost his mind from being beaten.
The entire island shattered, and countless cultivators on the island flew into the air. Ling Que's breathing became sluggish, and he almost choked on his own breath. As far as the eye could see, there were spatial cracks everywhere, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder.
Ling Que slowly came back to his senses as he watched the battle in the distance. He was inwardly speechless. Even a casual attack from those two wasn't something that he could withstand.
Hua Xiao was indeed very formidable, and he had probably activated 999 stars, which was the pinnacle of a certain aspect. When combined with his lockbreaking techniques, he was more than capable of going head to head with a Realmling. However, Lu Yin did not believe that Nan Yanfei would lose. On the contrary, Nan Yanfei's eyes showed only traces of surprise and excitement from beginning to end.
Transforming the flute was not enough to make his emotions fluctuate.
The nine hundred and ninety-nine stars exploded, forcing Nan Yan Fei to retreat. Hua Xiao panted heavily, his fingers trembling slightly.
It had not been long since he had activated 999 stars, and he had not gotten used to it yet. That attack just now had put him under considerable pressure.
He had originally thought that he would be able to injure Nan Yanfei, but at this moment, it was as if Nan Yanfei had donned a layer of invincible armor, and he had merely been pushed back. Then, Nan Yanfei charged forward once more, opened his mouth, and roared loudly. The sky distorted, and the lightning was swallowed up. A Taotie's mouth appeared above the heads of millions of cultivators, looking sinister and terrifying.
Hua Xiao's pupils shrank, and he raised his arms. Then, another pair of arms appeared. This was his innate gift, "Transforming Star Soft Palm."
His four arms used an ultimate technique in a futile attempt to unlock Nan Yanfei's Taotie phantom. There was some effect, but it was not obvious. Furthermore, Nan Yanfei himself was still present. He aimed a punch at Hua Xiao from afar, and the wind from the punch distorted the void as it ruthlessly slammed into Hua Xiao's body.
Hua Xiao spat out another mouthful of blood as his Transforming Star Soft Palm was interrupted. The Taotie phantom ferociously swallowed him whole.
Many cultivators from the Fifth Mainland rushed forward. Some blocked the Taotie phantom while others treated Hua Xiao's injuries.
However, these people were far too weak compared to Nan Yanfei. Nan Yanfei casually waved his hand and caused their bodies to break apart. Even Ke Nan, who was ranked twentieth on the Top Hundred Rankings, could not withstand Nan Yanfei's strength. His long spear was broken by a single palm strike.
"All of you, back off!" Hua Xiao shouted. Those who had not reached a certain level of strength would only be courting death. Nan Yanfei was not someone who could be defeated by numbers. The cultivators from the Sixth Mainland did not even try to stop him. It was clear how much confidence they had in Nan Yanfei.
The Taotie phantom descended, and Hua Xiao roared as he took the blow head-on.
The island trembled as the surrounding sea waters churned, forming a tsunami that spread into the distance.
Countless people looked at Hua Xiao. He had taken a blow from Nan Yanfei, and his body was covered in blood. He was severely injured, and he looked battered and exhausted.
Nan Yanfei approached him step by step, his huge body exerting a huge pressure. "A King-Ranked martial artist. You have the right to fight with me. Unfortunately, you're not one of the Ten Arbiters." As he spoke, he raised a hand and clenched his fist. Spatial cracks extended from his fingertips, and it was as if he was holding onto a part of the starry sky. He then pressed it towards Hua Xiao.
Hua Xiao's eyes narrowed as he stared at Nan Yanfei's palm. Nine hundred and ninety-nine stars revolved around his body as he prepared to meet the attack head-on.
At that moment, a cold light flashed in front of Nan Yanfei's eyes as his Que's Mighty Slash slashed down. With a bang, sparks flew everywhere. In the distance, Ling Que felt his scalp go numb. His Que's Mighty Slash had not harmed Nan Yanfei at all.
Nan Yanfei looked over and saw Ling Que. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes; he had tolerated this person for a long time. "You're courting death."
Ling Que's mouth fell open. "Sorry, I hit the wrong person. I'm with you."
Nan Yanfei suddenly turned around as if he had sensed something. Behind him, Lu Yin appeared and condensed star energy in his palm. "Single Sun."
Nan Yanfei sneered. He had originally planned to use this palm to kill Hua Xiao, but he could not understand why these ants, who were merely Cruisers, would dare to fight against him. Only King-Ranked and Ten Arbiters were qualified to fight against a Realmling. The ants in front of him did not even have the qualifications to make him look at them.
The Single Sun and Nan Yanfei's palms collided. At that moment, Nan Yanfei's expression changed drastically. He could feel that the power in his palm, which had been enough to kill Hua Xiao, had been weakened. Following that, the Single Sun's scorching hot and valiant might exploded, transforming into an indescribable shockwave that swept towards Nan Yanfei. At that moment, Nan Yanfei felt as if the void itself was being suppressed, and his internal organs were being subjected to a powerful force. There was a boom, and shockwaves shot out in all directions.
Nan Yanfei was sent flying through the air with a look of disbelief on his face. He had not revealed such an expression even when he had fought against Hua Xiao for so long. Lu Yin's impact had been too great, as Lu Yin was merely a Cruiser.
Nan Yanfei had never imagined that a Cruiser would be able to fight against them, much less suppress his palm.
Lu Yin's figure quickly appeared in front of Nan Yanfei and slammed down with his palm. Nan Yanfei's gaze turned cold as he forcefully stopped himself and swept out with his leg. There was a loud bang as the Hundred Stacks exploded. In addition to Lu Yin's enormous strength, Nan Yanfei was once again sent flying into the sea like a sandbag.
Countless people were stunned. Where had this ferocious person come from?
He was actually beating up Nan Yanfei.
Hua Xiao was stunned as well. The older generation had withdrawn from the battlefield, and the Realmlings were the strongest. Nan Yanfei was a Realmling, and even Hua Xiao, a true disciple of the Sirius Sect, was not his match. This person who had suddenly appeared was actually suppressing Nan Yanfei. Who was this person?
Had he changed his appearance?
It was not that Lu Yin was suppressing Nan Yanfei, but that Nan Yanfei had never fought against Lu Yin before. He had been stunned by the Eon Evolution True Scripture and the Overlaying Stacks technique, just as he had been when he had been injured by Hua Xiao's Sirius Palm.
More importantly, Nan Yanfei's Taotie bloodline gave him immense strength, and the more he ate, the more powerful he became. He was very confident in his own strength, but Lu Yin's strength was also indescribable.
Regardless of whether it was the Eon Evolution True Scripture, the Overlaying Stacks technique, or his physical strength, Nan Yanfei was unable to react in time. Even his right leg was fractured, and he fell to the bottom of the ocean.
The ice-cold seawater poured over him, instantly waking him up. What followed was boundless rage, as he had actually been beaten into a daze by a Cruiser.
There was a whoosh as Nan Yanfei leapt out of the ocean. Lu Yin appeared in front of him once again, and he raised a hand that transformed it into a claw. The Skybeast Claw was accompanied by an ancient beast's roar as it slammed down at Nan Yanfei.
Nan Yanfei casually tore apart the Skybeast Claw without saying a word. His heart was filled with anger and sullenness. Hua Xiao was a Hunter and a King-Ranked expert, so he was qualified to fight against Nan Yanfei. This person was just a Cruiser, and if Nan Yanfei could not suppress him, then how could Nan Yanfei maintain his standing in the Sixth Mainland?
Nan Yanfei punched towards Lu Yin, and this punch was filled with rage and venting. It was even more ferocious than the punch he had used to injure Hua Xiao, and it had reached the critical point of 200,000 power levels. This punch was not much weaker than an Enlighter's attack, as a Realmling's strength already surpassed that of an ordinary Enlighter.
Lu Yin watched on helplessly as Nan Yanfei's punch approached him. Suddenly, he pointed a finger at empty space, and a moment later, Hua Xiao appeared. Although he looked to be in a sorry state, he had consumed the Sirius Sect's medicinal pills, and his injuries had healed considerably. He then used a Sirius Palm to attack Nan Yanfei, but Nan Yanfei dodged in the same direction as Lu Yin's finger attack.
The three of them seemed to have coordinated countless times, but in the end, Nan Yanfei was struck by Lu Yin's Dream Finger attack, and the tip of Lu Yin's finger caused Nan Yanfei's body to crack open. This was the second time that Nan Yanfei had been beaten into the ocean.
Countless people were stunned, as the Realmling Nan Yanfei had been suppressed.
In the sky, Lu Yin and Hua Xiao exchanged glances, and then they both looked into the distance. There, Starsibyl's eyes flickered. Their previous coordination had been under her guidance, and she had been divining Nan Yanfei's attack trajectory.
It seemed like Lu Yin and Hua Xiao were working together, but in reality, Starsibyl was also needed. The three of them were working together to deal with Nan Yanfei.
Under Astral Phenomenon's suppression, Lu Yin could even deal with an Enlighter with a power level of 300,000 to 400,000. Nan Yanfei definitely could not reach that level. However, a Realmling represented the pinnacle, and that was the pinnacle for those with power levels below 200,000. On the other hand, those Enlighters with power levels below 200,000 did not represent the pinnacle.
Enlighters with power levels below 200,000 might not be a match for a Realmling. In this domain, they were the strongest: the Realmlings, the Ten Arbiters, and the Daosource Three Skies.
Lu Yin had to be even more cautious when facing a Realmling than when facing those 300,000 to 400,000 Enlighters.
After a while, Nan Yanfei still did not appear.
Lightning flashed and illuminated the island, as well as the panicked faces of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators.
