Da!
Ao Yuan ignored Xie Churan and looked into the distance.
"Hey, are you listening to me!" Xie Churan's face darkened, and she rebuked.
From the moment she discovered Ao Yuan, Xie Churan felt that he was not simple.
She didn't think Ao Yuan was an ordinary person at all.
After all, if he were an ordinary person, how could he have appeared here for no reason?
And this is a world of spiritual energy resurgence. After so long, how could there still be ordinary people on Blue Star?
All of this defied logic!
The Great Xia warriors around Xie Churan were puzzled and looked with doubt.
But since Xie Churan's rank was higher, they didn't voice their objections.
"If you don't speak, I'll shoot!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
*Click!*
The sound of a gun being cocked echoed, and Xie Churan aimed at Ao Yuan.
"Here it comes!"
Suddenly, Ao Yuan looked up at the distance.
*Bang!*
At the same time, Xie Churan pulled the trigger.
*Swish—*
The bullet flashed like lightning, but at a finger's distance from Ao Yuan, it bizarrely stopped in mid-air.
It was as if time had stood still at this moment.
Seeing this, the Great Xia warriors around Xie Churan, after a moment of stunned silence, immediately snapped back to attention, their eyes warily fixed on Ao Yuan.
From that single strike, even a fool could tell that Ao Yuan was extraordinary.
"Eh!"
Ao Yuan ignored them and became interested in the bullet.
He discovered that the bullet was imbued with spiritual energy.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they might have suffered a loss here. If there were many such bullets, death wouldn't be impossible.
As expected, human technology was still quite formidable!
"Not bad," Ao Yuan said after observing for a while.
Then, he casually shifted his gaze.
*Pop.*
With a crisp sound, the bullet in front of Ao Yuan instantly turned to dust.
Xie Churan and hundreds of Great Xia warriors turned pale at this sight.
Simultaneously, a terrifying aura surged from within each of them.
These auras condensed together, and it had to be said, it was quite intimidating.
"Who exactly are you!"
Xie Churan asked coldly, "What do you want in Great Xia!"
Ao Yuan didn't speak, he simply pointed behind him.
Xie Churan instinctively turned her head to look, and her face instantly changed drastically.
She saw.
In the distance, a black qi, like a bolt piercing through heaven and earth, shot out from afar and headed directly towards them.
At the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from the black qi.
"Damn it! Enemy attack!"
Xie Churan didn't know what it was, but she knew the approaching entity was not benevolent.
"Act, do not let it enter Great Xia territory."
As Xie Churan spoke, the Great Xia warriors beside her nodded in unison and then arranged themselves in a neat formation.
*Whoosh!*
As they exerted their strength simultaneously, the auras within them actually merged perfectly.
How to describe it, they were like one person, yet essentially a group of people.
"Is this a formation?" Ao Yuan raised an eyebrow, not expecting Xie Churan and the others to possess such a skill.
Although it was far from his own, it should be enough to deal with some others.
If the demon kings in the Demon Court, after consuming so many rich resources, were to truly go head-to-head with these people, the outcome would be uncertain.
The shadowy figure in the void clearly didn't take this seriously.
Just as it was about to approach Great Xia's territory.
Xie Churan let out a delicate shout, and a powerful aura soared into the sky, blocking the approaching entity.
"Hmph?"
A cold voice suddenly emanated from the void.
Following that, a wisp of black qi separated from the surging black mass and swept towards them like a storm.
*Boom!*
Two completely different auras collided in mid-air.
However, it wasn't long before.
Under the shocked gazes of Xie Churan and the others, the condensed aura of their hundreds of people collapsed.
Immediately after.
A surge of powerful black qi pressed down on them.
Judging by its momentum, it seemed intent on annihilating them.
"We're finished!"
Seeing this, Xie Churan and countless Great Xia warriors turned pale, and a sense of despair instantly surged from the bottom of their hearts.
From this simple strike, they understood the gap between themselves and the opponent.
*Swish—*
The black qi moved incredibly fast, reaching them in an instant.
Within this short distance, they could clearly smell the death that permeated the air.
"We're doomed."
Knowing they would die, Xie Churan and many Great Xia warriors calmed themselves.
At least they would have died for their country.
However.
Just as they were about to close their eyes, unable to bear watching the approaching black qi.
In that lightning-fast moment, a faint golden figure flashed past them and soared above them.
Following that.
A layer of pale blue mist suddenly appeared and enveloped these people.
*Boom!*
The black qi descending from the sky struck, but it was completely blocked by this mist.
Xie Churan and the Great Xia warriors within the mist were unharmed.
At the same time, listening to the deafening sound, Xie Churan and the Great Xia warriors, who had thought they were bound to die, couldn't help but open their eyes when they felt no pain.
They saw Ao Yuan in mid-air.
"It's him?"
"Why is he helping us?"
"What is going on?"
…
Upon seeing him, Xie Churan and all the Great Xia warriors were stunned.
In their eyes, the man before them was clearly an opponent.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand why he would step forward.
"Oh? You can actually block my attack!"
Within the rolling black qi in the void, there was a stir, and then a hideous snake head emerged from the blackness.
He didn't look at Xie Churan and the Great Xia warriors; his gaze was fixed on Ao Yuan.
"You are also just passing through Great Xia."
Ao Yuan, unfazed by his gaze, said calmly, "We didn't mean to."
"Can we just let this matter go?"
"Let it go?"
The snake head in the void flicked its tongue, its pupils dilating. "You dare to attack me, and you say let it go?"
"Do you think I'm someone who can be bullied?"
"Sir, we can apologize to you."
Xie Churan, hearing this, quickly shouted.
Although she didn't understand the situation, nor did she know if the person blocking them was friend or foe.
However, he was at least helping them, and through their brief conversation, Xie Churan understood that the fault indeed lay with them.
"Apologize?"
The snake head stared at them fiercely and roared, "I just want you dead!"
Ao Yuan frowned and drifted up slightly in the void. "I will protect them!"
"You?"
The hideous snake head glanced at him, then burst into laughter. "Then I'll kill you along with them!"
