Chapter 469 Breaking through the Fighting Saint
Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised at his sudden breakthrough, but once a breakthrough happened, it could not be taken lightly, as the consequences would be disastrous if he failed.

"Brother Xiao Yan, please find a place to go into seclusion quickly. I will help watch over you." Xun'er was happy but also worried when she saw Xiao Yan's breakthrough.

The good news is that once Xiao Yan breaks through to the Douluo level, his status and position will be completely different.

But what worries Xun'er is that the third level of the Heavenly Tomb is full of dangers, and energy bodies at the Dou Sheng level often appear. Once disturbed, the consequences will be fatal.

Since the noise caused by Xiao Yan's breakthrough was too loud, he had to find a large and secluded mountain range to practice seclusion. However, such mountains were common on the first and second levels of the Sky Tomb, but were very rare on the third level.

However, God helps those who work hard. After a period of searching, I finally found a place to retreat, which was in a huge canyon.

This canyon is like a pagoda, with small space on top and large space on the bottom. It would be difficult for outsiders to discover it as long as the entrance to the canyon is closed.

But it is impossible to say that there are no powerful people living in such a secluded place.

This tomb is like a large arena. Since energy bodies can devour each other, the struggle continues.

If you don't want to be swallowed by others, you can't just be ruthless, you also have to be good at hiding.

"Get out!" As Xiao Yan and Xun'er stepped into the canyon, the owner of the canyon roared.

After hearing the roar, Xiao Yan and Xun'er looked at each other and did not leave. After all, this place was a retreat place they had found with great difficulty, so how could they give up so easily?

Moreover, in Xiao Yan's perception, the master of the canyon is only at the semi-saint level, which is far from enough to make Xiao Yan fearful.

Besides, in order to break through as quickly as possible, Xiao Yan would not hesitate to fight against a Half-Saint, let alone a Fighting Saint.

Seeing that Xiao Yan and Xun'er did not retreat, the owner of the canyon appeared directly on a huge rock not far away from the two and glared at them.

Xiao Yan looked up and saw that the person coming was an old man wearing a dark red robe, holding a ghost-head sword, and with a ferocious look on his face.

"We have our eyes on this canyon. Please leave." Although Xiao Yan really wanted to kill the energy body in front of him and absorb his energy, if this person knew what was good for him, Xiao Yan would not mind letting him go.

This energy body obviously possessed the memories of his previous life. When he saw that Xiao Yan wanted him to leave, he suddenly became furious.

Although the energy body has the memories of its previous life, it is extremely violent and will explode at any time.

"You damn intruders, you actually want to occupy my territory. Take my sword first!" The red figure was angered by Xiao Yan's words, and he directly raised the ghost-head sword in his hand, used the move of splitting Huashan, and slashed towards Xiao Yan.

"You really don't want to accept my toast, so you have to drink a forfeit!" Seeing that this man was so tactless, Xiao Yan immediately withdrew his kindness. After all, he only gave one chance, and if he didn't accept it, he would only die.

Xiao Yan looked at the ghost-head sword that was about to fall, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then he grabbed with his right hand and firmly grasped the blade.

The red figure was extremely shocked to see Xiao Yan blocking his sword with just his flesh and blood body. He suddenly realized that leaving was not unacceptable.

"It's too late to leave now! Just be my stepping stone to break through to Dou Sheng! This won't humiliate you!" Xiao Yan snorted coldly, and clenched his hands violently, splitting the ghost-headed broadsword in two, and then holding the blade to slash at the red figure. "I surrender..." The red figure was really scared. He didn't expect that he would be so vulnerable in front of Xiao Yan, but he lost consciousness before he finished speaking.

"Boom!" The red figure exploded directly. After the explosion, a deep red crystal emitting dazzling light was suspended in the air.

Xiao Yan clenched his hands fiercely and took the energy core directly into his hand. He smiled faintly and said, "With this semi-saint level energy core, the breakthrough time should be earlier."

"Well! Brother Xiao Yan, please go into seclusion soon! I'll guard the entrance of the valley." Xun'er said with a faint smile when she saw that the obstacles in the canyon had been cleared.

“Then you better be careful!” Xiao Yan also knew that time was urgent. The sooner he broke through, the less danger there would be. He immediately found the cave where the owner of the canyon was and began to seclude himself.

When Xun'er saw Xiao Yan going into seclusion, she went straight to the entrance of the canyon. After condensing a seal at the entrance, she carefully stood guard at the side.

Time passed little by little, and two months passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Qingyang and his group arrived at the third level of the Heavenly Tomb.

However, the journey here was not smooth for this group of people. It can be said that they narrowly escaped death. The energy crystal layer that they could have broken through before with just some skills, now healed very quickly for some reason.

During this period, those ancient devouring insects attacked them like crazy. If it weren't for the communication and cooperation between the few of them, they would have probably died in there.

In fact, when those ancient devouring insects saw that they were unable to do anything to Xiao Yan, they took out their anger directly on Gu Qingyang and his group.

In order to break out of the energy crystal layer, Gu Qingyang and others used up almost all the energy cores obtained from the Heavenly Tomb, and even then they were seriously injured before they came out.

"Where are Hun Ya, Hun Li and the others?" After Gu Qingyang rushed to the energy crystal layer and just recovered some of his fighting spirit, he found that the two were gone.

"Haha, he ran away a long time ago!" Huo Zhi, who came in with them, said disdainfully.

"Since we have entered the third level, let's each find a safe place to practice in seclusion!" said the people of the Thunder Clan after they had rested.

Hearing this, people from other clans also nodded. After all, the relationship between the eight ancient families was not that good, and they had to work together to break the energy crystal layer. Now that they were safe, they must be on guard against each other.

Gu Qingyang had no intention of trying to stop these people from leaving. After all, the four of them came here with a mission.

"You have also received the tasks from the elders!" Gu Qingyang looked at the three people around him and asked.

Hearing this, Gu Hua and others nodded. When they entered this Heavenly Tomb, cultivation was secondary. Their main task was to protect Xun'er.

"I think Miss Xun'er and Xiao Yan have already arrived at the third floor. Now let's go find them according to the location on the instrument!" Gu Qingyang took out something similar to a compass. This thing was specially given to them by the elders to make it easier to find Xun'er.

Gu Qingyang and his companions followed the direction indicated by the instrument and soon found Xun'er. They saw Xun'er sitting at the mouth of a canyon, obviously guarding something, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Miss Xun'er!"

"You are here." Xun'er naturally knew that these people were here to protect her. Although she didn't care about it before, Xiao Yan was in seclusion now, and an extra bit of strength meant an extra layer of protection.
