The Battle Through Heaven
Nalan Yanran Intervened
Overall, everyone was staring at Xiao Yan with dumbfounded faces. They never thought that the young man who seemed to specialize in this refining treatment would not be worse than Mu Zhan in terms of battle. The lightning-like exchange from before might only last for a short while, but everyone knew the dangers involved.
Among the younger generation in the capital, Mu Zhan's combat talent could be described as top. There was hardly anyone from the same age group within the Jia Ma Holy Empire who could fight directly with him. This was especially the case after he trained for two years in the military barracks. The current Mu Zhan had undoubtedly become stronger and more ferocious compared to before. However, in the previous fight, he did not seem to have much of an advantage.
Although, it could be said that Mu Zhan had not used all of his strength in this exchange. There was not even a Dou Technique displayed but no one had forgotten that the young man who had an ordinary appearance also fully relied on his body's ability to fight.
"It was really unexpected that Yan Xiao's combat ability was actually this good ..." The Little Princess noticed Xiao Yan with a stunned expression as she said in surprise. He had a very clear knowledge of Mu Zhan's talent in terms of fighting. However, in the fight just now, Mu Zhan did not end up defeating Yan Xiao until Yan Xiao turned into a miserable state. Instead, both ended in a draw.
The corner of Liu Ling's mouth moved slightly. Not seeing the scene in his imagination where Xiao Yan was defeated by Mu Zhan, his heart was currently unwell. When he heard the shock in Little Princess' words, his heart became a little unhappy. He said weakly, "If Mu Zhan were to unleash all of his strength in the fight, I dare to say that Yan Xiao would definitely not be his match."
"Ke Ke, maybe." Little Princess was not committed as she smiled. As a woman, her observation skills were naturally much more meticulous when compared to Liu Ling who held a grudge. As long as Mu Zhan was forced to retreat, he clearly saw that Mu Zhan's legs were somewhat unnatural as he stepped back. It seemed that Mu Zhan had received a slight hidden injury in the collision earlier.
"Yan Xiao, are you okay?"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan step back, Ya Fei hurriedly came forward and asked anxiously. As he said those words, his delicate hand grabbed the sleeves in front of him. Evidently, he did not want her to continue the fight.
"I'm fine." Xiao Yan smiled. Under his sleeve, his fist, which had been inserted into it, trembled slightly as he tried to slowly dissipate the pain that spread through it.
"The strength of this person is indeed very great. From the looks of it, he should have been around an eight star or even nine star Dou Shi "Feeling the pain transmitted from his fists, Xiao Yan secretly guessed in his heart.
"But I think at the moment he is also having a hard time with fire subduing the wood. The burning of ‘The Green Lotus Core Fire’ from my fist will definitely cause this person to suffer from hidden injuries. " Xiao Yan glanced at Mu Zhan's feet and the corner of his mouth lifted into a cold smile.
Mu Zhan looked at Xiao Yan with a fierce face. The intense pain transmitted from his feet caused the corners of his mouth to twitch repeatedly. The Dou Qi in his body flowed swiftly and wrapped around his feet, turning them into a pale green color.
Mu Zhan's Dou Qi belonged to the wood affinity. This kind of Dou Qi had some sort of healing properties. Therefore, when the Dou Qi covered his legs, which were not severely injured, it once again began to recover.
"Look, pretty .. I didn't expect a spoiled alchemist like you to actually know how to fight so aggressively." Mu Zhan opened his lips and smiled at Xiao Yan, like a ferocious tiger that had opened its mouth and bared its fangs, possessing an abundant ferocious aura. If this fellow were to be stationed on the battlefield, he would definitely become a ferocious general that was rarely seen.
Xiao Yan smiled, but did not speak. The green-colored Dou Qi still enveloped the surface of his body without the slightest hint of leisure.
"But it doesn't matter who you are. Don't touch the woman I like! "
The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. Mu Zhan roared loudly. A powerful Dou Qi was coming out from within his body. As Dou Qi churned, a somewhat hazy Dou Qi Armor actually, gradually appeared on his body.
Looking at the Dou Qi Armor on Mu Zhan's body, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. He had not expected that this person could summon the Dou Qi Armor that only Da Dou Shi could possess. Although his armor was now only an initial prototype, his defensive strength far exceeded that of a Dou Qi Dou Shi Cloak.
"This person is going to be serious .." Xiao Yan muttered in his heart. His face became serious. As his mind raced, the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ wisp was pulled out of the ‘Reception’ spirit inside the vortex. After which, it swiftly passed through the Qi Path as Xiao Yan prepared to unleash the terrifying strength he possessed at any moment.
"Mu Zhan, you crazy man. Stop that!" Seeing Mu Zhan who refused to give up, Ya Fei was so angry that her pretty face turned pale.
Mu Zhan ignored Ya Fei's angry scream. The Dou Qi on the surface of his body became increasingly dense. A powerful force rose up from within his body, suppressing those with weaker strength in the hall until their expressions slightly changed.
"I told you before. I will kill anyone who dares to touch you! "
Mu Zhan's feet stomped on the floor hard. Many lines of cracks began to spread rapidly from the place where his legs were pushed like spider webs. His body is slightly forward. With a shout, his body turned into a green-colored shadow that shot towards Xiao Yan. Wherever he passed by, the abyss was one foot deep extended.
The entire hall was currently, turning into a complete mess.
Sensing the ferocious power enveloping Mu Zhan's body, Xiao Yan's expression was solemn as he pulled Ya Fei from front to back. At the tip of his finger inside his sleeve, a green-colored flame started dancing strangely
"Green Wood Thorns!"
With an oppressive low roar, Mu Zhan's fist, which was covered in green-colored thorns, was accompanied by a sharp force as it violently struck Xiao Yan.
A pair of dark black eyes coldly watched the fist moving ever closer. The oppressive wind flattened the clothes on Xiao Yan's body until they were firmly affixed to Xiao Yan's skin.
Inside Xiao Yan's arm, the green-colored flame had also withered with increasing excitement under this suppression. The heat energy quickly clumped up
Just as Xiao Yan was about to use the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ to counter the attack, his brows suddenly knit slightly as he sensed something. He immediately stopped his forward leaning body. At the same time, a clear cold soft shout sounded within the hall.
"Mu Zhan's. Stop now!"
As a soft cry fell, the white shadow of the moon shot out from another corner of the hall in a lightning-like manner. His body strangely floated in the air and appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan glanced at Nalan Yanran's strange ability to move in the air from the corner of his eyes. His eyebrows twitched unconsciously. This woman has improved greatly in three years …
Thousand Winds!
After she quickly appeared in front of Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran coldly noticed Mu Zhan, who did not stop her attack, with her beautiful face. His snow-white soft hand stretched out from his broad sleeve and he prepared to snap his long, narrow finger. Five pale green tornadoes emerged from his fingertips, like five extremely sharp green-colored nails.
The five sharp spiral winds actually seemed to have ripped through space as they spun wildly. He snapped his finger and the wind whirled out. Immediately, they violently shot at Mu Zhan's fist which was covered in green-colored thorns.
"Bang!"
After the sound of an explosion, waves of wood shards were shot out from Mu Zhan's fist. The ferocious power contained within the tornado directly caused Mu Zhan to retreat a few steps. Every time his feet landed, he would leave deep footprints on the ground.
As the final footsteps landed, Mu Zhan's arm trembled violently. A formless force seeped out from his body and left a deep imprint on the pillar behind his body.
"Fuck Yanran? Hey, I didn't expect you would actually become much stronger after not meeting for two years. It seems like Sectional Leader Yun Yun is really trying hard to teach you. " Mu Zhan licked the fresh blood on his fist. He ignored this bit of pain as he said in surprise.
"Mu Zhan, this is the Nalan clan, not the Mu clan. Master Yan Xiao is a guest of our Nalan clan and should not be the target of your unrestrained behavior! " Nalan Yanran gently cried.
Mu Zhan's eyes narrowed. He tightened his fists as his gaze swept across the hall. After which, he stopped at Nalan Jie and Nalan Su who quickly stepped up. Knowing that he had lost the opportunity to attack Xiao Yan today, he could only helplessly extend his hand. He raised his chin slightly and looked at Xiao Yan, "Because of Nalan Yanran, I will not cripple you today. But I will advise you to stay away from Ya Fei in the future. If not"
"I will take you anytime ..." Xiao Yan coldly smiled and said. After the exchange from before, he knew that Mu Zhan's level was slightly higher than his. However, if he used hidden cards, it was hard to tell who would win or lose.
"You have a backbone. I didn't expect that once I returned to the capital, I would meet someone I could step on. I'm very happy. " Mu Zhan opened his mouth and smirked at Xiao Yan. His white teeth looked quite dense.
"It takes strength to step on someone. Don't let your feet get punctured even before you step on that person "Xiao Yan didn't show the slightest hint of weakness or cowering action towards this young man who didn't bother to hide his domineering arrogance and temperament. His attitude that gave the tit for tat caused everyone to be extremely shocked.
"Well, you two have to talk less. Today is the meeting of the Nalan clan. Don't disturb everyone's mood. " The two people fighting each other this caused Nalan Yanran to frown slightly as he scolded helplessly.
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders. His gaze shifted from Mu Zhan's body to the beauty whose back was facing him. His eyes narrowed as his finger gently flicked inside his sleeve. Nalan Yanran's attack just a moment ago was the first attack that Xiao Yan had seen him use ever since he met him. It's like a riddle. For her to be able to force back Mu Zhan who was fighting the same as herself, this woman's strength had increased very quickly over the past three years. Although the Dou Technique he had just displayed was not of the low class, it was, A high-grade Dou Technique would not be of much use if he did not have the support of a strong Dou Qi in this kind of battle where the levels of both sides were very close.
"Misty Cloud Sect has gone to great lengths to take care of him. This Three Years Agreement will be pleasant .. ” Xiao Yan's gaze stopped on the beautiful curves of Nalan Yanran's soft body as he muttered in his heart.
