736. Let's get started.
The moment Gu Yao saw Xiao Yan, his gaze sharpened, and he burst into laughter, saying, "Xiao Yan, I thought you wouldn't dare to come."
"What is there to be afraid of?"
Xiao Yan's tone remained calm and composed, showing no sign of fear. The many members of the ancient clans watched this scene with great anticipation, as everyone could see that a good show was about to unfold.
Xiao Yan then ignored the gazes of Gu Yao and the other members of the Gu clan. Instead, he focused on the figure standing to the side, wearing a dazzling phoenix crown and a magnificent wedding dress.
Although it was Xiao Yan's first time meeting Qin Zhiyun, he had to admit that it was no wonder his second brother was attracted to her.
Her skin was as white as snow, her lips as smooth as jade, and her delicate red lips appeared even more alluring under her meticulously crafted makeup. Dressed to the nines, she should have been the most dazzling focus of the entire event. Yet, at this moment, her face, concealed by her exquisite makeup, was pale, and her eyes held a look of bewilderment and helplessness. All eyes in the room were now on her. She, the leading lady, seemed utterly overshadowed.
"Are you Qin Zhiyun?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at her, still wanting to confirm her identity first.
Qin Zhiyun's slender body seemed to tremble slightly, and her beautiful, clear eyes met Xiao Yan's gaze. She saw no resentment or dissatisfaction in Xiao Yan's eyes; instead, the depth and calmness in his eyes made her even more uneasy.
However, she nodded hastily: "Yes."
Xiao Yan ignored all the gazes fixed on him and said to himself, "I know about you and my second brother. I only want to ask one thing: do you still have feelings for my second brother? Were you forced to do everything before by the ancient clan? If so, then you are my second sister-in-law, and I will definitely rescue you today!"
Xiao Yan's unwavering words drew a chorus of mockery from those around him. They had expected Xiao Yan to come and attack immediately, but they hadn't expected him to come for a woman.
Gu Yao shook his head and watched Xiao Yan from the side, his actions full of mockery. Gu Yao then burst into laughter, not only failing to stop Xiao Yan's actions but also stopping everyone else, seemingly eager to know Qin Zhiyun's answer as well.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhiyun's heart was in turmoil. Xiao Yan's earnest question filled her with a bittersweet ache. She instinctively glanced back at Gu Yao, her eyes involuntarily pleading. However, the aloof Gu Yao only had eyes for Xiao Yan, paying no attention to Qin Zhiyun whatsoever, seemingly oblivious to her existence.
She took a deep breath, her heart filled with pain and shame, and said to Xiao Yan with trembling hands, "I'm sorry to Xiao Li, but my relationship with him was cleared up and completely over back then. I'm sorry."
After saying that, Qin Zhiyun felt as if she had lost all her strength.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan fell silent. He offered no accusations against Qin Zhiyun, only a cold acceptance of the outcome. When his gaze returned to Gu Yao, a murderous intent surged within him.
Seeing Xiao Yan's change of attitude, Gu Yao was extremely satisfied. He smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "See that, Xiao Yan? She may not be very satisfied with me, but I am the commander of the Black Annihilation Army. I want her to leave your useless brother, and she has to do it for the sake of the conditions!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhiyun swayed as if all her bones had been pulled out. She naturally knew that Xiao Li's accident was because of her.
"So what?" Xiao Yan stared at Gu Yao, his tone completely devoid of any emotion.
"You still don't understand, you've crossed the line! The ancient clan and Xun'er are not beings you can reach. You insisted on breaking everything, so you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!" The ancient demon grinned menacingly.
Xiao Yan had no intention of arguing with Gu Yao anymore. He simply stretched out his right hand and slowly pulled the Xuan Heavy Ruler from the ground, his gaze sweeping over everyone present: "Gu Yao, I'll only tell you one thing: everyone here today will die!"
Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was no longer restrained and instantly began to erupt.
Gu Yao grinned arrogantly, leaping from his seat and issuing a command imbued with sharp battle aura: "By the Black Annihilation Army!"
"Here!" Hundreds of people responded at the same time. The ancient clan members gradually retreated in the face of this scene, and among these people were the guards of the ancient demons.
"Follow me and capture this beast; life or death is irrelevant!"
"Yes, sir!" The Black Annihilation Army has always been the most elite and fearless top-tier force among the ancient clans. The aura emanating from hundreds of people gathered together would likely terrify anyone with slightly weaker strength.
Xiao Yan extended his left hand, enveloped in purplish-red flames, a powerful hurricane already fully charged. Under Xiao Yan's command, the Crimson Lotus Star Flame erupted instantly, the flames sweeping wildly and spreading to all areas in a flash.
Crimson Lotus Star Flame, Wind-Summoning Palm!
The intense heat of the flames swept through instantly, scattering all the Black Annihilation Army soldiers who tried to get close to Xiao Yan. The intense heat affected everyone simultaneously; even the most elite armor couldn't withstand the test of this level of strange fire. Under Xiao Yan's control, the scene immediately transformed into a sea of flames.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan clenched his left hand, which was enveloped by the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame, and activated his Heart Flame!
A chorus of wails followed, as the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame unleashed its most unpredictable and deadly inner fire power in an instant. Having honed its abilities over many years, Xiao Yan could now wield it with ease, and even this number of opponents would have no effect on him.
With this level of maneuvering, Xiao Yan has completely controlled the Black Annihilation Army's actions. If he continues to intervene, the Black Annihilation Army will inevitably suffer massive losses.
The next moment, Xiao Yan swung the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his right hand, blocking the figure that tried to get close. The struggle began, and Xiao Yan remained completely still!
The one who launched the surprise attack was none other than Gu Yao, who was astonished to discover that he was completely powerless against Xiao Yan.
The Black Annihilation Army made the first move, and Xiao Yan dealt with them first. He was the one who gained the upper hand by seizing the opportunity to strike. But Xiao Yan actually managed to stop him.
Having failed in his first attack, the ancient demon immediately wanted to retreat; having failed in his sneak attack, he naturally had to think of another way.
Xiao Yan had already intercepted him, so naturally he wouldn't let the ancient demon leave so easily. His brow twitched slightly, and his Heavenly Realm Soul locked onto the ancient demon's figure. Xiao Yan also suddenly exerted force with his right arm, his sword-like blade locking onto the ancient demon and swinging down. A purple-red wave of energy erupted, shattering space and becoming unstoppable!
Flames divide and devour waves!
