The Battle Through Heaven
Xiao Gate, Xiao Yan
Wu Hao cheered gleefully resounded nonstop within the valley, causing quite a number of people to be astonished.
The first person to recover from his shock was the extremely sensitive Xiao Yu by this name. Pleasant disbelief instantly surged onto his pale white face.
” May I know which friend has intervened? This matter concerns the grudges of the Demon Flame Valley and my Jia Nan Academy. It has nothing to do with outsiders! ” Xie Zhen's body also hurriedly retreated as he immediately shouted in a deep voice. The moment the scream came out of his mouth, the sight quickly swept across the sky.
’’ He he, Wu Hao, it's been a long time since we last met. It was unexpected until I finally saw you in such a miserable state when I saw you! ” A clear laugh appeared out of nowhere not long after Xie Zhen's shout sounded. It lingered in the air before it finally echoed over the valley.
’’Everyone in the valley suddenly raised their heads when they heard this laugh. They saw a black-robed young man flapping green fire wings on his back as he stood in the sky.
’’ Xiao Yan .. This is really him. We were completely saved this time ... ” Xiao Yu sighed in relief when she saw that familiar face. His pale white face also showed a smile as if he had released a heavy burden.
” Instructor Xiao Yu, who is he? ” Some of the young instructors beside Xiao Yu asked in a soft voice that was somewhat uncertain. They were all junior instructors of the Jia Nan Academy. They were chosen not long ago. Thus, they did not really recognize Xiao Yan's name. Moreover, those two years were not a short time. Therefore, they were momentarily unable to clearly remember the meaning represented by this name.
The few young students at the side also revealed uncertain gazes. Before they could voice their question, a young lady who seemed to remember something suddenly exclaimed, ” Xiao Yan? That Senior Xiao Yan from the Inner Academy? Founder ‘Pan’s Gate’? ’
The cry by the young lady immediately exploded among this group like a bomb. Everyone raised their heads in surprise. They stared at the black-robed young man in the sky. Most of them could retell the various events of Xiao Yan in the Inner Academy in reverse. Most of the people adopted admiration for this senior who could fight with an expert Dou Huang at his age. Adding the presence of ‘Pan’s Gate’ and ‘Xiao Gate’, leaving a legendary taste for the reputation of their founder Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan only shrugged his shoulders while observing the many dumbfounded gazes below. After which, the fire wings on his back slowly disappeared. His body moved and gently floated before finally appearing in front of Wu Hao. He pressed his hand on the Heavy Xuan Ruler and smiled at the latter. ’Not bad, you have reached the Dou Wang class.’
Wu Hao struggled to stand up. He observed the familiar face, which was within close range, and his tense heart finally relaxed. As long as this person appeared, he knew that/that today's matter would end successfully. Wu Hao had always held the greatest confidence in Xiao Yan. During the few years when they became acquainted, he had witnessed quite a number of miracles happen.
’You fellow. It has been two years since you disappeared.. ” Wu Hao rubbed a trail of blood from the corner of his mouth and let out some intense cough. The fist immediately smashed into Xiao Yan's chest. His cold and sharp face was filled with a rare smile.
Xiao Yan faintly smiled. He handed the medicinal pill to Wu Hao and patted his shoulder. He laughed, ” Eat. You'll be fine after resting on the side. Leave the rest here for me. ’
Xiao Yan's gaze shifted back as he spoke. After which, he landed on top of a tall red-clothed outfit. He gently laughed, ‘’Are you okay?’
Xiao Yu involuntarily felt his nose turn sour as he felt Xiao Yan's gentle gaze. His eyes were filled with fog. It was a long time later before he clenched his silver teeth and said, ” Don't let these people go. This time, three students had died at their hands. ’
” Relax, nothing left. ” Xiao Yan gently laughed and nodded.
Xiao Yu involuntarily rolled his eyes when he heard this trivial answer by Xiao Yan. He immediately turned his head and actually saw an unusual flicker in the eyes of quite a number of female students due to this person's answer.
’’ Tsk tsk, arrogant tone. People in ‘Black-Corner’ Region who can talk to the old me in such a way do not include young people like you! ’Xie Zhen's eyes that were a short distance away turned cold as he laughed in a dark manner.
Xiao Yan completely ignored Xie Zhen's laughter. He turned his body and his eyes glanced at Xie Zhen. After that, he slowly stepped forward. His hand randomly grabbed the handle of the ruler as he passed by the Heavy Xuan Ruler. The huge object was randomly lifted by him as he slowly walked towards Xie Zhen.
Xie Zhen's eyes became even darker when he saw Xiao Yan's action. By sensing his aura, he could tell that/that black-robed young man in front of him was also an elite Dou Haung. However, this latter level was clearly inferior to him.
’It looks like the Jia Nan Academy really only produced some arrogant and ignorant people.’ Xie Zhen involuntarily laughed after being looked down upon by someone of a lower level. A powerful Dou Qi suddenly surged out from his body. White Dou Qi was like ice cold as it caused ice shavings to appear on the ground. His big hands stiffened. His fingernails looked extremely sharp as they were dyed by that cold white air.
” Brat, today, the old me will allow you to see what it means to say that/it is always someone better than you. Don't assume that/that you can see everyone in the world is nothing just because your talent is acceptable. ’’ Xie Zhen laughing loudly. His feet suddenly stepped on the ground and his body suddenly shot out. His two claws danced and caused the air to be torn apart. The sharp sound of the wind blowing caused quite a number of the hearts of the relaxed people to become anxious once again.
A strange expression flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes when he heard Xie Zhen's words. He immediately took a step and leaned his body forward in a strange manner. One could only see sharp hand claws that contained a chill moving along Xiao Yan's chest. It flew past while carrying a sharp wind.
” Your speed is still fine ... ” Xiao Yan randomly dodged this quick attack by Xie Zhen as he spoke in a weak tone.
The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth curled up as he watched Xie Zhen suddenly change his attacking attitude with a pair of irregular old-like eyes. His fists suddenly stiffened before charging forward. Finally, it collided with Xie Zhen's hand claws.
Xiao Yan's fist suddenly opened when his hands and claws collided. His palm trembled violently and a heat hidden force suddenly surged out from it!
’’ Bang! ’’
There was a low muffled sound. Xiao Yan's body did not move while Xie Zhen's feet rubbed against the ground as he quickly took ten steps back. Only then did he stabilize his body. He shouted in surprise, ” You hid your strength? ’
Xie Zhen could not be blamed for being so dumbfounded. Instantly when his fists and claws collided, the ice cold Dou Qi within his body was suppressed by Xiao Yan until it could not be released. Moreover, that strange power had finally invaded his body, causing the insides of his body to become completely chaotic.
Seeing that/it Xiao Yan steadily had the upper hand in his fight with Xie Zhen, the disciples of the Jia Nan Academy became overjoyed. Low cheers immediately sounded. Although quite a number of rumors about Xiao Yan spread during these two years, none of them had personally witnessed his strength. Therefore, most people still felt worried in their hearts even when Xiao Yan appeared. However, such worries instantly vanished after the lightning-like exchange earlier.
” This person ... his strength is even stronger than two years ago ... ” Wu Hao involuntarily laughed before sighing softly when he saw this exchange.
A smile filled Xiao Yu's face. In his heart, it seemed as long as this person appeared, any kind of desperate situation would be easily resolved.
The Little Fairy Doctor and the others stood at the top of the valley and looked down at the battle that was taking place in the valley from their high vantage point. The assassins of the «Demon Flame Valley» around them had already fallen to the ground dead. Mai Di and the young lady called Mo Ling at the side were somewhat dumbfounded as they watched the inside of the valley. Xiao Yan was actually able to obtain the upper hand in a battle with an expert Dou Huang. This is quite surprising to them. After all, they similarly did not see Xiao Yan fight back. The battles that their ears were familiar with were things they had just heard. Hearing about it was a very different concept when compared to the level of shock that came from personally witnessing the power.
The faces of the people from the Demon Flame Valley had become extremely ugly compared to the joy contained in the expressions of Wu Hao's group. It was unexpected that/that even the Fourth Elder was unable to gain the upper hand in his struggle with this person. Where did this little boy come from?
Xiao Yan's five fingers gently rotated before he once again clenched them. He sensed the Dou Qi that seemed to be commanded by his arm and could not help but smile. Five months of traveling through the mountain forest and killing many Magical Beasts had indeed caused the Dou Qi in his body to become even purer. He had also clearly become more familiar with this kind of melee combat.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes. Silver light appeared under his feet before he immediately disappeared in a strange manner.
Xie Zhen's eyes stiffened when he saw Xiao Yan suddenly disappear. His body immediately rushed back. However, his body had just moved when a black figure appeared behind him in a ghost-like fashion. The fist that contained hot power ferociously crashed into the latter's back.
Xie Zhen, at the same time, violently threw a punch behind him in conditional reflexes when Xiao Yan's fist was about to reach his target. The two fists immediately collided.
A cold smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yan's face when they collided. Jade green flames surged out from his body in all directions.
’’ Bang! ’’
Powerful Dou Qi which contained hot flames ruthlessly flowed towards Xie Zhen from all directions like flames sweeping through the meadow.
’’ Grug! ’’
The terrifying wind that suddenly came caused Xie Zhen's face to change drastically. The bone on his wrist emitted a slight cracking sound. Immediately, a mouthful of fresh blood involuntarily spat out. His body flew forward, splitting the ground before colliding with the boulder.
’” Who are you? ”
Xie Zhen exclaimed in a hoarse voice. Shock finally appeared on his face after receiving a heavy blow.
” ‘Xiao Gate’ Xiao Yan. ’’
An extremely ferocious jade green flame was burning within the valley. A soft and gentle voice gently floated into Xie Zhen's ears, only to cause that person's eyes to suddenly shrink!
