Chapter 795: Chapter 454: The Fighting Saint
...
At the top of the spiritual energy sea, as the yellow flames twisted and turned, yellow liquid split from the fire. It then merged with the mercury-like spiritual energy, transforming into yellow when it left his body and poured onto the ground below.
The opponents didn’t notice what Yan Xiaobao was up to because they were expending their energy to dodge the massive hand charging toward them. Their focus remained on Xiao Ning. He was their adversary; he was the one demanding their attention. The Emperor, in their eyes, was easier to deal with. This was the mindset of the Saints battling against Yan Xiaobao and Xiao Ning. Knowing he was underestimated, the white-haired young man nearly burst into loud laughter as he poured even more energy into the ground beneath him.
Suddenly, as a giant hand sprouted from the earth, the ground began twisting and revolving. A four-meter-tall hand, agile as Yan Xiaobao’s own, emerged, commanding the attention of anyone who looked in its direction. This hand was clearly crafted from the earth itself, yet the power contained within it was far from ordinary.
Now, they had to decide which opponent warranted their focus. Should they concentrate on the hand, which obviously had the potential to disrupt them, or should they continue their assault on Xiao Ning? Originally, their target was Xiao Ning, but the emergence of this hand threw the team into chaos. Some blocked the hand, while others continued attacking the Saints. Without a coordinated strategy, every attacker was left to make their own decision, resulting in confusion among the opponents.
Seeing everyone scattering, Yan Xiaobao smirked. He sent the massive hand directly toward his opponents. Golden lights flickered in the tunnel as they summoned their martial power to defend against the hand, but every time an attack landed on it, the soil reformed anew. It seemed indestructible. No matter how many strikes were delivered, it relentlessly reconstructed itself.
Watching this, the experts grew increasingly frustrated as they realized this technique was more resilient than they had anticipated. Their advance was halted for fear of stepping within the hand’s reach, only to discover its mobility. The hand lunged forward with tremendous force, swatting at the experts like a hand smacking away a fly.
Some experts managed to evade, but others were launched through the air, crashing violently into the walls and leaving massive craters behind. This scene left everyone astounded, including Xiao Ning, who was surprised that Yan Xiaobao could launch such an attack without even resorting to his holy authority.
Though it appeared powerful and brimming with immense energy, Yan Xiaobao was still just an Emperor. While the experts were slammed against the walls, they managed to regain their footing relatively quickly, sustaining only superficial injuries. For the Saints, this level of attack wasn’t particularly threatening.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. However, he poured even more energy into the ground beneath him, summoning a second hand—a complete replica of the one already present. Now, two hands surged forward simultaneously.
One hand continued its relentless assault on the Saints, while the other aimed to grab and crush them. Faced with the dual attacks, the Saints were left with no choice but to constantly retreat. Although the wounds they accumulated were shallow, they still impacted them slightly. Over time, even the slightest injury might put them at a disadvantage when they inevitably had to face Xiao Ning later.
Yan Xiaobao didn’t even glance at Xiao Ning to see how he was faring; all his attention was on the Saints before him. While his attacks weren’t causing serious damage, he maintained an air of confidence, forcing a fake smile because he knew the Saints had no other choice but to save their energy for the ensuing battle. Indeed, the two hands were shielding him, but if they exerted their full power, couldn’t they shatter the two hands made from earth and stone? They were Saints after all, capable of destruction. Yet, they hesitated to commit such vast amounts of energy against a low-level opponent like Yan Xiaobao. As troublesome as he was, he simply wasn’t worth expending the energy they reserved for Xiao Ning.
Yan Xiaobao gambled on their unwillingness to commit their energy and relentlessly kept up his attacks. Meanwhile, he ensured he didn’t stray too far from Xiao Ning. Though he hadn’t glanced at Xiao Ning, the elderly man frequently looked toward Yan Xiaobao, ensuring his performance, only to be amazed time and time again. Seeing that he, an Emperor, could so effectively control multiple Saints left Xiao Ning increasingly impressed with him—almost considering him a genius among geniuses.
Unaware of Xiao Ning’s thoughts, Yan Xiaobao twisted the hands, shifting his tactics. He commanded both hands to slam into the ground with tremendous force, causing them to pound the earth so violently that the entire tunnel trembled. This triggered shockwaves that aided in repelling the Saints Team further back. Finally, he had the opportunity to look at Xiao Ning, and as expected, the Saint had already disposed of the experts attacking him. Seeing this, Yan Xiaobao dashed behind him, the two hands disappearing.
The experts cornered by Yan Xiaobao wore grim expressions. Now standing before them wasn’t Yan Xiaobao, but the one they feared—the Saint. Though they had the advantage in numbers, they couldn’t deny that the Saint towering before them was far more powerful than any of them. Witnessing him dispatch the other experts, they wondered how they could possibly hold their ground. Especially after battling Yan Xiaobao, none of them were without injuries. Though their wounds were superficial, they still existed, and they knew that if they had to face this formidable Saint, they were already at a disadvantage.
