The Battle Through Heaven
Peak Wind: The Enchanting Sunset
In the large green stone square, a powerful Dou Qi and sharp wind blades were repeatedly shot out, leaving many clear and visible deep scars on the surrounding hard surfaces.
Everyone was holding their breath at this moment. Their gazes followed the two human figures that appeared and disappeared as they moved in an instant. The increasingly fierce and heated battle caused many people whose hearts leaped into the throats as they watched the explosive battle of both sides. Their original impression of Xiao Yan was someone who should have been defeated at the first contact, but he unexpectedly showed no signs of being harmed in the fight. Instead, with that extremely ferocious melee attack, he actually vaguely looked like he was suppressing Nalan Yanran in terms of attacks. This really surprised the Misty Cloud Sect disciples who initially thought that victory was easy in their grasp.
Of course, this was not only the case for ordinary Misty Cloud Sect disciples. After Xiao Yan had secretly used ‘ Heavenly Flame’ to completely block all the Xuan class Dou Techniques that Nalan Yanran had repeatedly displayed, he said, the Misty Cloud Sect elder on the stone platform finally became to display an uncomfortable expression. Some of the Dou Techniques displayed by Nalan Yanran were basically advanced types and difficult to learn. Moreover, their strength was also quite great.
With Nalan Yanran's strength, even if his opponent was a strong person two or three stars above him, it was impossible for him to easily block some of the Dou Techniques he had displayed. However, the reality that appeared in front of them clearly told Yun Leng and the others that the Dou Technique that possessed great strength was actually blocked by Xiao Yan, actually, whose strength was slightly weaker than Nalan Yanran, without suffering any injuries.
"First Elder. That Xiao Yan looked a little strange. Every time the Dou Nalan Yanran Technique would reach his body, a powerful and strange energy appeared. It was this strange energy that caused the Dou Nalan Yanran Technique to be unable to obtain any actual results. " After staring at the open ground intently with his eyes, a white-robed old man could not help but turn his head and gently told Yun Leng with a serious face.
Hearing the soft voice of the white-robed old man, several other elders, including Yun Leng slightly nodded. With their strength, they could naturally sense a strange energy containing heat. However, Xiao Yan displayed ‘He Heavenly Fire’ while moving at high speed and his technique was skillfully and very familiar. Therefore, although Yun Leng and the others could only sense something, but were unable to figure out what Xiao Yan was actually using.
"Don't panic. Allow me to feel it carefully. " Yun Leng's face was grim as he waved his hand. He slowly closed his eyes and immediately used the Dou Qi in his body to connect with the energy in the outside world that had the same affinity. He then began to see every action of Xiao Yan from all directions.
Hearing these words from Yun Leng, the other few elders exchanged glances and remained silent. They continued to stare at the increasingly intense battle.
Not long after this elder fell silent, two rushing wind sounds suddenly sounded in the air. Immediately, two human figures appeared on top of a large tree located around the open ground. Their gazes swept across the locked battle inseparable below and could not help but feel a little surprised.
After the two human figures appeared, Jia Xing Tian and the others who were at the end of the large tree threw their gazes. When their gazes were fixed on the extremely handsome looking middle-aged man wearing a pale green robe, they were for a moment shocked. Soon, they laughed and greeted him. An endless stream of people instantly flocked. From this it could be seen what kind of status and position this person held in the Jia Ma Empire. Even people of Jia Xing Tian and Fa Ma were courteous to him.
The one who came was Pill-King Gu He from the Jia Ma Empire with Liu Ling following behind him. The current Liu Ling was no longer as arrogant as in the capital back then. He quietly stood behind Gu He and smiled as he greeted Nalan Jie and the people of the older generation. Seeing this attitude of his, it seemed that he had changed slightly due to his failure at the Grand Meeting Alchemist.
"Ke Ke, it was really unexpected that Old Jia and Old Fa were here. But the sect leader is not present today, so no one welcomes you. I'm sorry." Gu He cupped his hands towards the two of them and said politely with a smile. He also did not dare to underestimate these two extremely strong people who had quite a great reputation in the Jia Ma Empire.
"This is?" The sweeping gaze of Gu He suddenly stopped on Hai Bodong's body. Doubt flashed across Gu He's face. With his extraordinary Spiritual Perception ability, he could naturally sense the surging power that was partially hidden from the latter.
Hi Bodong.
Hai Bodong cupped his hands towards Gu He. The indifferent face he used to use on strangers had never before revealed a somewhat stiff smile. Although he was much more senior in seniority compared to Gu He, he was, only people in this world who had great fists and great abilities would truly receive the same treatment or respect from others. He might be a Dou Huang, but Gu He, as the most prominent alchemist Grandmaster in the Jia Ma Empire, was someone that even a Dou Huang had to treat equally when they met. This was because everyone knew the kind of enormous gathering power that a tier six alchemist possessed!
"Ice Emperor Hai Bodong?" Hearing Hai Bodong mention his own name, Gu He was startled and his expression instantly disappeared a little. A moment later, his expression returned to normal and with a smile, he politely spoke to Hai Bodong, " Back then when Gu He was still practicing, I heard so much about Old Hai's name. See you today, your prestige is no less than it was. "
Hai Bodong smiled. Since the other party treated him in this manner, he naturally could not be less polite. After the two of them politely exchanged a few words, Gu He finally turned his gaze towards the battlefield. Upon seeing the extremely close and intense fight, his eyebrows immediately moved. He asked in surprise, "That person is Xiao Yan from the Xiao clan?"
"Ke Ke, that's right, but he's not a useless person." A bitter laugh sounded beside Gu He. When the latter glanced, he realized that Nalan Jie was the one answering.
Gu He nodded. His gaze returned to Xiao Yan who had turned into a black shadow on the battlefield. It was naturally a lie if he said he wasn't surprised. He clearly understood that the latter was a useless person who had not even reached the Dou Zhe class three years ago. Three years later, however, he had actually surged to a level sufficient to contend with Nalan Yanran?
It should be known that Yun Yun had made him refine an unknown number of medicinal pills to increase Nalan Yanran's strength. Despite the Misty Cloud Sect and his own support, however, this Xiao Yan actually managed to follow behind with just three years. Just what kind of support from such a huge faction and the frightening training talent did he need to do this?
Seriousness was added to the face that was originally indifferent and smiling. He frowned slightly and his spiritual strength shot out from his body from his forehead. In a lightning-like manner, it immediately moved and floated above the open ground. The movement speed of Xiao Yan, who was originally as fast as lightning appeared like a movie played in slow motion as it slowly played out in Gu He's mind. In this slow motion, every action of Xiao Yan was completely revealed in Gu He's perception.
Under the watchful eye of various strongmen who did their best to observe the fight, two people on the open field, were, that looked like a blurred intertwined figure in the eyes of an ordinary disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect had become very clear.
The intertwined figures flickered and moved on the battlefield once again touching and retreating. Following the sound of an explosion.The two figures were each pushed back more than ten meters with their bodies slipping on the ground surface.
The numbers that were forced back stopped slowly. Finally, the figures of Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran clearly appeared in front of everyone's gazes. After seeing the way the two of them were, everyone was dumbfounded.
Many crossed sword scars had appeared in the Dou Qi Armor on Xiao Yan's body. Under that deep sword wound, one could faintly see bright red fresh blood. Clearly, he had indeed received several Nalan Yanran counterattacks in an almost wild melee fight earlier.
Xiao Yan's outer appearance was quite ugly, but Nalan Yanran was also in an equally bad condition. Her original clean moon dress seemed a bit disorganized at the moment. One could see the obvious footprints around the lower abdomen. His messy black hair stuck to his clean forehead where some sweat had appeared. The back of her teeth bit her red lower lip while her breathing became a little hasty.
From the way these two people were, it seemed that each of them had won and lost the fierce battle before.
After the two of them appeared, the private whisper that was originally present in the open field once again became extremely silent. Everyone is infected by the way ‘gives tit for a tat’ from both of them and dare not say anything to break it.
A breeze blew over the open ground. Some withered leaves followed the wind, circling and sweeping, between the two.
Under the blazing sun, the girl unbuttoned her hair and her black hair unraveled. It exuded a subtle agile presence. That heartwarming scene caused the hearts of those already infatuated with it to beat faster.
"He wants to use that thing?" Seeing the sudden action of Nalan Yanran, Yun Leng and the others on the stone platform were startled. Soon, they started muttering to themselves.
"It looks like the fight is coming to an end. But in order to be able to force Nalan Yanran to this extent, this little fellow from the Xiao clan is truly extremely powerful. " A white-robed elder sighed softly.
"Will he take out his trump card? This girl was actually forced this far. " A surprise appeared on Gu He's face as he said softly while standing on the tree.
When Jia Xing Tian and the others around him heard Gu He's words, they were stunned. Immediately, they threw their shocked gazes back into the battlefield.
As his black hair fell, Nalan Yanran's eyes slowly closed. A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes. The black hair on his head moved automatically even though there was no wind. Her long hair floated and danced. After this, his body actually began to float through the air without borrowing any help from the launch force or a pair of wings.
As Nalan Yanran's body slowly rose into the air. The energy around his body looked like boiling water at this moment as they started to rise rapidly. The pale green coloured substantive ripples coiled up repeatedly from his body.
The long sword slowly moved upwards and finally tilted in such a way that it led to Xiao Yan below. On one occasion, the longsword shook gently and the sunlight from the sky suddenly started moving towards the longsword and gathered together. In an instant, the light on the long sword surged. That eye-piercing light was like the second sun in the sky.
"Xiao Yan, let's decide the winner."
Nalan Yanran's beautiful white face looked somewhat transparent as it reflected light. He tremblingly pointed towards Xiao Yan below and for the first time, he shouted the name that he once hated so much.
Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at that eye-piercing light. Under that light, terrifying energies wildly agglomerated.
"Did he end up using his trump card? Because it is so "
As her pretty eyes stared at the young man whose body was upright and tall, Nalan Yanran inhaled a deep breath of air. His hand tightly held the long sword which had become extremely heavy as he began to move the sword at such a slow speed that it was almost impossible for one to sense that the sword was moving. Following the movement of the long sword, the energy ripples it emitted also became increasingly powerful.
Xiao Yan watched the sky indifferently. His right hand gently stretched out and with a puff, a green-colored flame suddenly appeared under the supervision of everyone present.
"This is ..." Although some of the Misty Cloud Sect's ordinary disciples were unaffected after the appearance of the green-colored flames, the elders as well as Gu He and the other strong people in the tree suddenly widened their eyes. This was especially true for the Fa Ma group. The familiar feeling in their hearts grew stronger.
The longsword moving in the sky suddenly stopped. Nalan Yanran bit her lips with the back of her teeth. Both of his hands held a long sword that repeatedly danced with all his might. The frightening energy contained within him was something that caused him trouble controlling it.
At a certain moment, the energy on the long sword was brewed to its peak state. Finally, Nalan Yanran stopped suppressing him. Her pretty face looked solemn and after a clear shout, the eye-piercing sunlight that had already reflected the long sword began to expand abruptly. In an instant, the intense light on the sword actually hid the light from the sun in the sky!
Wind’s Peak: Dazzling Sunset!
A soft shout fell from the sky and a terrifying energy fluctuation was finally released. A sharp sword aura shot out explosively towards Xiao Yan from all directions in the sky like a falling storm. The hard and hard ground completely cracked under the pressure of this sharp sword aura, forming a line of cracks that spread to the edge of the open ground.
Sensing the terrifying sword arua in the sky, the Misty Cloud Sect disciples hurriedly placed their hands in each other's hands. Waves of Dou Qi rose from within their bodies and finally formed an enormous energy cover that enveloped over half a square. Only by relying on it did they manage to release the pressure created from the sword aura in the sky.
"This is actually ‘Wind’s Peak’. It was truly unexpected that Yun Yun had even taught him this. However, with his abilities, he could not even display twenty or thirty percent of his strength. " Jia Xing Tian muttered as he raised his head and watched the sword aura that was like a falling sun.
"Maybe it's time for this little boy .." Jia Xing Tian turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan on the battlefield. He had yet to say everything he wanted when his eyes suddenly shrank. He noticed that Xiao Yan suddenly took out a pale purple Yaowan (Danwan). He threw it in his mouth and chewed it a little. Immediately, he widened his mouth and a cluster of purple flames spewed out and stopped in Xiao Yan's left hand.
TL: Yaowan/Danwan is a pill that is not an appropriate medicinal pill. They also have no treatment effect or very little.
"This post ..." Jia Xing Tian's gaze stared intently at Xiao Yan who was spewing out Purple Flame. His eyes narrowed until he almost became a straight line. That day, in the plaza of the Imperial family, that young man called Yan Xiao had also done this.
Jia Xing Tian slowly turned his head and exchanged glances with Fa Ma. Their expressions were both very strange and interesting. It seemed that they had finally confirmed something: "Yan Xiao is Xiao Yan!"
Of course, Fa Ma, Jia Xing Tian was not the only one who discovered something because of this action. Nalan Jie, Mu Zhan, and the others on the large tree were also stunned at this moment.
In fact, the most important people are not a few of them. Instead, it was a person who was suspended in midair and had just displayed this terrifying Dou Technique. Nalan Yanran!
