"I didn't expect the timeline to advance by a year; this kid Xiao Yan still obtained the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations in the end. Should I say he is indeed the Child of Destiny from the original work?" Watching Xiao Yan's actions in the plaza, a look of surprise flashed in Xiao Se's eyes from the VIP seats.
Before obtaining Fire Gods Wrath, he had always been determined to get the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. Even now, he had not given up, thinking that even if he hadn't obtained the jade slip that appeared at the Alchemist Guild exchange, he would still go to Burning Flame Valley or the Heavenly Tomb to seek it out in the future. He didn't expect that the jade slip, which should have appeared a year later, would be found by Xiao Yan ahead of time.
"Your clansman doesn't seem as trashy as the rumors say, does he? Seventeen years old, a three-star Great Dou Master, and he even possesses a method to briefly raise his strength by three or four stars. Looking across the entire Jia Ma Empire, aside from you and the little girl from the Nalan Family, there are almost no peers who can surpass him." Hai Bodong turned his head to look at Xiao Se and transmitted his voice.
"Believing in so-called rumors is in itself a foolish act," Xiao Se responded indifferently.
"Indeed." Hai Bodong nodded and continued watching.
While the two were speaking, Nalan Yanran finally unleashed her ultimate move.
"Is this the Di-rank low-level Dou Technique that my teacher spoke of?... Since that's the case, I will no longer hold back..."
Nalan Yanran murmured softly. Her jade-like hand untied the green ribbon binding her three thousand strands of dark hair. She shook her head slightly, and her cascade of smooth, black hair spilled down like moonlight, flowing over her fragrant shoulders all the way down to her slender waist.
Pale cyan Dou Qi swirled around her body. Nalan Yanran slowly closed her eyes, and a moment later, she opened them suddenly. The energy around her body began to boil like boiling water, erupting violently. Ripples of tangible pale cyan energy continuously diffused from her body.
Her black hair suddenly began to dance without wind, fluttering about. As her hair danced, her long sword began to tremble slightly. The pale cyan Dou Qi energy swirling around her body suddenly surged toward the long sword. In just an instant, the light on the long sword flared, blindingly bright, like the midday sun.
Taking a deep breath, Nalan Yanran tightly gripped her long sword, which had become extremely heavy. She pointed it diagonally at Xiao Yan, who had also ascended into the air opposite her. As the sword moved, the diffusing energy ripples became increasingly intense.
"Xiao Yan, be careful. If you can't block this, you will die." A trace of mockery flashed across her fair, pretty face as Nalan Yanran called out that name she detested so much once again.
Xiao Yan lifted his handsome face, staring blankly at the long sword emitting blinding light, upon which terrifying energy was frantically condensing. At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly leaped up, stepping lightly a few times in the Void Realm. The aura of the xuan heavy ruler in Xiao Yan's hand also reached its peak.
"That depends on your ability... Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
Xiao Yan let out a low shout, raising his arm. The xuan heavy ruler, like a setting sun, crashed toward Nalan Yanran.
"Rhino Sharp Sword."
Nalan Yanran's right hand moved as if parting clouds, striking after but arriving first. The sword swing seemed slow but was actually fast. The sword wind was formless and traceless, extremely gentle. This was something Xiao Se had purchased at the highest-level Heaven-Grade auction at the Mittel Auction House. After using the System to read the cultivation method, he had gifted it to Yun Yun, having her teach it to Nalan Yanran.
"Di-rank Dou Technique!" the onlookers shouted in their hearts.
Swish! The two passed each other.
Nalan Yanran stood at the edge of the plaza exit, her back to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan stood near the stepped stone platform, his back to Nalan Yanran.
"Who won?" Nalan Jie frowned, staring fixedly at Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, wanting to see some sign, but he could see nothing.
Xiao Se's lips curled slightly, and he looked smilingly at the pitch-black storage ring in Xiao Yan's hand. Among those present, Fama, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, Yun Yun, and the other Dou Huangs furrowed their brows.
"What was that just now?" Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Se with a grave expression. Just a moment ago, he seemed to have felt an extremely powerful Soul fluctuation from Xiao Yan. In terms of intensity alone, it had already surpassed Xiao Se.
"Won't you know if you keep watching?" Xiao Se smiled amusedly.
Whoosh! A gust of wild wind blew past, sweeping away the deathly silence.
"What a formidable Dou Technique. It actually made me feel the crisis of death, but unfortunately, it didn't hit me." A look of relief flashed across Xiao Yan's face. The moment they clashed, he felt immense fear of the sword in Nalan Yanran's hand; it was like a breeze brushing against his face, turning the killing intent into a gentle breeze. He had no idea where it would land, and he didn't even know how he had dodged that strike.
"Oh no, Yanran's sword didn't hit him!" On the third level of the stepped stone platform, the group of Dou Ling Elders from the Cloud Mist Sect were greatly shocked.
Yun Yun raised her beautiful eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "What are you shouting about? Even if Yanran's sword didn't hit him, his ruler didn't necessarily hit Yanran either."
Sheathing her long sword, Nalan Yanran turned around, her face full of surprise and confusion. "In that instant just now, your speed and perception seemed to have risen to a terrifying level, allowing you to avoid my sure-kill strike. This is not something a Great Dou Master could accomplish. Who exactly are you?"
Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Xiao Yan subconsciously glanced at the pitch-black storage ring in his hand. Recalling carefully, the moment he clashed with Nalan Yanran, he had felt the crisis of death. At the critical moment, his body seemed to have involuntarily moved to dodge by a body's width, narrowly avoiding Nalan Yanran's sure-kill strike.
Could it be that Yao Lao saved him?
"Teacher, just now?" With confusion, Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao in his heart.
"You almost died just now. This little girl is a Genius not much inferior to you, and now that her cultivation has broken through to the Dou Ling level, you are definitely not her match." Yao Lao responded somewhat helplessly.
"Dou Ling." Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately afterward, various emotions like humiliation, regret, lingering fear, resentment, unwillingness, and jealousy flashed across his eyes. He cursed angrily, "Damn it, this bitch actually intended to kill me."
Hearing this, Yao Lao's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, Weren't you also thinking about killing her just now? Immediately, he advised, "The conflict between you two can be resolved later. Just now, in order to save you, I exposed myself in the eyes of many Dou Huangs. The priority is to leave this place of trouble first."
"But the duel between Nalan Yanran and me..." Xiao Yan was unwilling.
"Admit defeat," Yao Lao sighed softly. "As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. You are far from her match right now, otherwise, you will really die."
Just as the master and Disciple were transmitting their voices, Yun Yun's heavenly voice echoed through the plaza: "Senior, interfering in a battle between juniors, don't you think that is going too far?"
Xiao Yan looked up, watching Yun Yun's pretty face, which was cold with anger, and his gaze was complex.
"Xiao Yan, first hand over control of your body to me." Yao Lao gave a greeting, took control of Xiao Yan's body, and replied in an aged voice, "Sect Leader Yun, I did this to save my Disciple's life; it was a last resort in a moment of urgency. Besides, didn't I not harm your Disciple?"
