232. A decisive action to deter others.
Shen Yun looked at Xiao Yan, whose aura was constantly rising, and secretly groaned in his heart. He never expected that he would cause such trouble for himself just by going to the clinic to see the mysterious female doctor who had appeared inexplicably and to learn about her methods of healing.
"Senior, I didn't target the Han family at the time, nor did I attack the doctor," Shen Yun explained earnestly.
Xiao Yan remained silent, but the Dou Qi within this space continued to gather in his hands; his actions spoke volumes!
Seeing that his show of weakness had no effect, Hong Tianxiao silently distanced himself from Shen Yun, clearly not wanting to share the blow with him.
Shen Yun cursed inwardly as his lightning battle aura began to condense into a massive shield made entirely of lightning in front of him.
A deep roar suddenly came from Shen Yun's throat, followed by crackling sounds from his body. Countless silver lightning snakes seemed to burst out from his bones, enveloping him in a lightning net. Shen Yun's aura surged rapidly while he was in the lightning net.
With a single step, countless silver snakes surged forth from beneath his feet, instantly engulfing the surrounding area within dozens of feet. Shen Yun, standing amidst this chaos, now appeared as terrifying as the God of Thunder!
Xiao Yan simply watched everything Shen Yun did quietly. When Shen Yun's aura reached its peak, Xiao Yan grinned and said, "Here it comes!"
Xiao Yan's action was simple: one punch!
He sealed Shen Yun with his soul power and unleashed a punch with the full power of an eight-star Dou Zong.
A volcanic eruption of Dou Qi erupted directly from Xiao Yan's core. Shen Yun, seeing the output of Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body, couldn't help but increase his own by two points, trying to squeeze as much Dou Qi as possible into the Thunder Shield in front of him.
The lightning electric net had no effect on Xiao Yan at all; it was shattered with a single punch.
Then Xiao Yan thrust his fist straight into the lightning shield, but the lightning energy that others couldn't avoid had no effect on him. No matter how the energy gathered towards Xiao Yan, specks of black light kept appearing on his right hand, completely absorbing the lightning that ordinary people couldn't avoid.
Shen Yun's all-out release of the lightning shield only hindered Xiao Yan for three breaths, followed by a piercing cracking sound.
The lightning shield shattered, creating a gap. The next moment, countless spiderweb-like gaps appeared on it, and before the eyes of the Hong family members, it completely disintegrated into specks of lightning and a sky full of battle energy.
Shen Yun still wanted to avoid Xiao Yan, but he was completely locked in by Xiao Yan's powerful soul force. At this moment, Shen Yun was terrified and could not move at all.
He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yan's attack, namely, his fist, slammed into his chest.
"Bang!"
Shen Yun, who was in mid-air, turned into a gray line and was directly blasted away by Xiao Yan. He was blasted into the Hong family's manor, and the buildings he passed by collapsed under the uncontrollable force.
Shen Yun was slammed into the ground, and the terrifying force caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear.
Hong Tianxiao swiftly moved to the spot where Shen Yun had fallen. The attack had been too powerful; he wasn't sure if Shen Yun was dead. If an elder of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion died in the Hong family, even if he hadn't done it himself, it would still be a significant problem.
Fortunately, after Hong Tianxiao investigated the pit where Shen Yun was, he found that although Shen Yun had been knocked unconscious by Xiao Yan's attack, he had not suffered any fatal injuries. Shen Yun was, after all, a Dou Zong expert; he would be fine after resting for a while. Xiao Yan's attack was extremely precise; Hong Tianxiao could tell that Xiao Yan hadn't used his full strength. Today's actions were probably more for punishment.
Looking at his own work, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly: his strength had indeed undergone a qualitative change after he fell asleep.
Before leaving the Gama Empire, he had to go all out to barely hold his own against a four-star Dou Zong, but now he could easily take down a four-star Dou Zong.
"Whether it's the Han family or what happened yesterday, I need a result," Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.
Looking at the aloof Xiao Yan, Hong Tianxiao cursed the Han family countless times in his heart. What kind of luck did the Han family have to encounter such a powerful figure? Hong Tianxiao was certain that Xiao Yan and the Han family hadn't known each other for very long, otherwise, the Han family wouldn't have remained completely silent when the Hong family suppressed them. But now that Xiao Yan was willing to help the Han family, he was someone the Hong family couldn't afford to offend.
Hong Tianxiao could only continue to smile and reply, "Don't worry, senior, the Hong family's handling of the matter will definitely satisfy you."
Looking at Hong Tianxiao before him, Xiao Yan sighed: those who can survive in Zhongzhou are no ordinary people. Hong Tianxiao seems very easy to talk to now, but once their strength is reversed, the Hong family probably has countless ways to deal with him.
However, Xiao Yan wasn't worried about Hong Tianxiao's double-dealing. After all, besides Xiao Yixian's dissatisfaction with Shen Yun and the Hong family, he also intended to use his strength to teach the Hong family a lesson. A single strike could defeat Shen Yun, and he was a master with powerful soul strength. Even if the Hong family didn't react now, they would be afraid afterward.
Having done this much, Xiao Yan felt he had repaid the Han family's favor enough. He had many things to do and couldn't just stay at the Han family's place forever.
The Han family wields considerable influence, but it's limited to the area around Tianbei City. Zi Yan and Huo Zhi could be anywhere in Zhongzhou. Whether out of a promise to Yan Di or out of concern for Zi Yan, Xiao Yan must find them as soon as possible.
So after giving the Hong family a warning, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor left Tianbei City directly.
The headquarters of the Starfall Pavilion is located in the Tianxing Mountains in the southern region of Central State, a distance that is practically immeasurable from the northern region. Even if Little Fairy Doctor were a Dou Zun powerhouse, she wouldn't be able to sustain tearing through space for such a long time.
So the two of them finally decided to search for a space wormhole to find the Starfall Pavilion. There were quite a few space wormholes in the Central Continent, so finding one wouldn't be too difficult.
What truly troubled Xiao Yan was that Mu Qingluan was the most outstanding young person in the Starfall Pavilion, and whether he could offer a price to attract the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to trade with him was still uncertain. The Starfall Pavilion was also a rather unique existence among the Four Pavilions, and it vaguely had the air of being the head of the Four Pavilions.
Xiao Yan had already made up his mind. If all else failed, he would ask Little Fairy Doctor to step in. No matter how high the Starfall Pavilion's demands were, he still had to give face to a Dou Zun powerhouse!
