Dangerous Matters
Xiao Yan frowned deeply. The white light from just now might have seemed like a medicinal pill or a secret technique to others, but with his powerful Soul perception, Xiao Yan had noticed something different.
"Gate of Life and Death, Gate of Life and Death... Can there really be such a coincidence in this world? This is too fake." Ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through Xiao Yan's mind. If it really was such a coincidence, then Xiao Yan would regret his decision from three years ago to the point of his intestines turning green.
Soon, Nalan Yanran's injuries had actually healed. Xiao Yan was shocked by the speed.
"If you're thinking of relying on exchanging injuries to defeat me, then you're destined to lose," Nalan Yanran said, looking up at Xiao Yan in mid-air with a serious expression.
Xiao Yan frowned and asked, "Did you get that power from the Gate of Life and Death?"
As if she had expected Xiao Yan to be interested in this power, Nalan Yanran smiled and said, "Want to know? If you can defeat me, I'll tell you."
Xiao Yan's expression instantly changed, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Arousing my fighting spirit is a very dangerous thing."
"Then let's leave our lives to fate."
As soon as she finished speaking, powerful Dou Qi and sharp Sword Qi burst out from the center of the massive bluestone plaza, leaving clearly visible deep marks on the surrounding hard slabs.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes following the flickering figures of the two combatants. The increasingly intense and white-hot battle made many people's hearts rise to their throats as they watched the fierce fight between the two sides.
No one present could have predicted which direction the battle would take.
Those who had thought Xiao Yan would win were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Nalan Yanran to have obtained Yun Potian's inheritance from the Gate of Life and Death! Those who had thought Nalan Yanran would win were also stunned. They hadn't expected Xiao Yan, an Alchemist, to be so strong, able to use the Strange Flame and Soul power with such skill that Nalan Yanran's Wind Attribute attacks were repeatedly thwarted.
Xiao Yan, the Alchemist who they had thought would be easily defeated, possessed a terrifying physical strength. Relying on his extremely fierce close combat skills and the aerial advantage provided by the Eagle's Wings, he was actually faintly suppressing Nalan Yanran in terms of offense. This left the Yunlan Sect disciples, who had originally thought victory was assured, somewhat dumbfounded.
The attacks of the two in the arena became increasingly fierce and dangerous. Xiao Yan, who had initially only intended to play around with Nalan Yanran, became serious, and his attacks became increasingly lethal.
When Nalan Yanran consecutively used several Mystic Rank Dou Techniques but was still unable to break through Xiao Yan's Strange Flame defenses, the faces of the Yunlan Sect elders on the stone platform finally began to look slightly uneasy.
The Dou Techniques that Nalan Yanran had used were of the profound and difficult-to-master type within the Yunlan Sect, and their power was not small.
With Nalan Yanran's strength, even a high-level Dou Ling would not be able to easily block these Dou Techniques.
"Yanran, who has obtained the Dou Zun's inheritance, is actually at a disadvantage!" Yun Leng was shocked.
Yun Potian was the founder of the Yunlan Sect, a Dou Zun expert! Yun Leng had thought that the Yunlan Sect, having obtained the Dou Zun's inheritance, would surely unify the entire Northwest Region, even ascend to the Central State and become a top power. He even thought that Nalan Yanran had the potential to become a Dou Zun! But now, she was fighting Xiao Yan to a standstill!
The two figures flashed and clashed again, retreating after the explosion of energy. The two figures retreated more than ten meters.
As the smoke cleared, the figures of Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran finally appeared clearly before everyone's eyes. Everyone was stunned by their appearance.
Xiao Yan's expensive robe was tattered, and his body was covered in crisscrossing sword marks. Beneath the deep sword marks, many wounds had already scabbed over. Clearly, in the previous near-frantic close combat, he had not completely suppressed Nalan Yanran's sword attacks.
Nalan Yanran, on the other hand, was also slightly disheveled. Her originally neat moon-white robe was now scorched in many places, and many parts of her body were burned and torn. A clear flame fist print was visible on her abdomen, and some of her tied-up hair had been burned off! Xiao Yan had shown no mercy, going all out!
Nalan Yanran's eyes narrowed, and with a tearing sound, she ripped off a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt and retied her loose hair into a single ponytail.
"Nalan Yanran is going to use her ultimate move!" Hai Bo Dong frowned, able to tell from Nalan Yanran's aura.
In the center of the plaza, Nalan Yanran suddenly opened her eyes, and her dress suddenly moved without wind. As her hair danced, the Wind Attribute energy around her also became as turbulent as boiling water.
The Yunlan Sect was located above the clouds, so the Wind Attribute energy here was naturally the most abundant. Rings of light-blue, substantial ripples continuously spread out from her body.
The black longsword slowly moved up, aiming at Xiao Yan in the sky. The longsword trembled slightly, and the sunlight in the sky suddenly converged towards the longsword. In just an instant, the light on the longsword greatly increased, the dazzling light resembling a second sun in the sky.
"Xiao Yan, let's decide the outcome."
Xiao Yan simply smiled and said, "Then let's see what you're capable of."
Seeing the surrounding天地 energy frantically surge, Xiao Yan knew that Nalan Yanran was about to use an Earth Rank Dou Technique. Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bo Dong had also told him that the Yunlan Sect possessed a powerful killing move, the Wind's Extremes Sword Skill, a veritable Earth Rank Dou Technique that made all the surrounding empires wary of the Yunlan Sect.
However, Xiao Yan was not afraid, because others didn't have Earth Rank Dou Techniques, but he did.
"Wind's Extremes: Sunset Radiance!"
As the delicate shout fell, a terrifying energy fluctuation finally erupted. A sharp Sword Qi shot towards Xiao Yan, and the hard floor cracked under the pressure of the sharp Sword Qi, creating cracks that stretched to the end of the plaza.
"Heavens, Yanran has actually cultivated Sunset Radiance to Lesser Mastery!" Ge Ye, who was watching the battle from the side, exclaimed.
"Then I'll show you something too, Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
The Mystic Heavy Ruler suddenly pointed towards Nalan Yanran, whose aura was as sharp as a sword. As Xiao Yan's loud voice rang out, the天地 energy in the arena suddenly became extremely violent. A terrifying Fire Attribute energy erupted at this moment, causing the faces of the elders on the judging panel, and even Dou Huang experts like Yun Yun, to change drastically in an instant! "It's causing天地 energy fluctuations!! This is an Earth Rank Dou Technique?!"
"Moreover, this fluctuation seems to be even higher than Sunset Radiance!!"
The Wind's Extremes had two forms. The first form, Sunset Radiance, could only be said to barely reach the Earth Rank, and could not be considered a low-level Earth Rank Dou Technique. The second form, Meteor Kill, was the true Earth Rank Dou Technique, so Sunset Radiance was naturally inferior to the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler.
