Chapter 239: Gu He Appears

Chapter 239: Gu He Appears

In the square, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran were still in a deadlock, but many perceptive people could see that Xiao Yan was the one at a disadvantage.

This was mostly based on the fighting style and the Dou Qi attribute.

The wind attribute was flexible, changeable, and accurate in attack, so Xiao Yan's powerful attacks were hardly effective.

Nalan Yanran's ordinary attacks were light and fast, and although they were not very powerful, they also caused Xiao Yan a lot of trouble.

...

In the huge stone square, tyrannical Dou Qi and sword flashes shot out from time to time, leaving deep marks visible on the surrounding hard ground.

Everyone held their breath at this moment, their eyes twitched with the flickering of the two silhouettes, and the increasingly intense battle made many people's hearts rise to their throats.

Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran with an ugly face, after a long time of fighting, his Dou Qi recovery speed was not fast enough to keep up, and although Nalan Yanran's Dou Qi was also consumed, she seemed much better than him.

This was not only due to his attack form but also due to his desire to end the battle quickly which caused him to use too much Dou Qi.

He couldn't use Heavenly Flame, so, if he continued like this, sooner or later he would be the first to run out of Dou Qi and lose the match!

Moreover, Nalan Yanran had many long-range attack methods in the form of Xuan Dou Techniques, which she was using to surround and attack him. With her strength, even if her opponent was someone who exceeded her cultivation by two or three stars, they would still be unable to dodge her attacks so effortlessly. Furthermore, he was unable to use the Heavenly Flame. If this continued, he would be the first to run out of Dou Qi and ultimately lose the competition!

His eyes were gloomy as he stared at Nalan Yanran, who was not far away, his lips were bitten by his sharp teeth, and tasting the rust-flavored blood in his mouth, Xiao Yan bitterly thought in his heart, 'I must not lose this competition, Master, I want to use the Heavenly Flame!'

Immediately after, Yao Lao's old voice rang out, 'Oh, that's all? You can use it if you want, with that cousin of yours nearby, as well as those two Snake-People, even if you are discovered, in my opinion, your safety won't be a problem."

"Mhm..."

With a sudden leap backwards, Xiao Yan retreated into the distance. He held the ruler's hilt with both hands, his feet apart, raising the Heavy Xuan Ruler perpendicular to his body. Threads of earthy yellow flames spread around the Heavy Xuan Ruler as an extremely violent aura spread out. The surrounding energy of heaven and earth seemed to boil and gather into it.

"Nalan Yanran, one move will determine the winner!"

Nalan Yanran gasped lightly, her chest, still covered by the pale green armor, rippled. And her slightly tousled pink hair was plastered to her forehead from sweat.

Having to suppress Xiao Yan, who was also in the Dou Grandmaster realm and was extremely formidable in battle, Nalan Yanran also depleted much Dou Qi, not to mention the numerous wounds Xiao Yan inflicted on her.

Hearing Xiao Yan's shout, her gaze was somewhat dazed, and with a wave of her hands, her Dou Technique was released, summoning the energy of heaven and earth to gather around her.

Taking a deep breath, she removed the hairpin from her head, causing her pink hair to spill like a waterfall over her buttocks, and her slender hand gripped the hilt of the longsword tightly.

"The winner... will be decided by this attack!"

A mysterious aura emanated from her body, her long hair behind her billowing in the wind, as her delicate body floated and soared skyward.

At the same time, the energy around her also grew, and a light greenish wave spread out from her body.

The longsword swung, its blade pointed at Xiao Yan, and as the sword trembled, the glow on it increased as if it was a second sun in the sky.

Above the Misty Cloud Sect's square, the energy in the heaven and earth began to boil dramatically like boiling water, with the almost materialized streams of energy gathering around the two of them.

On one side, on the ground, Xiao Yan's expression was cold and gloomy as he held the Heavy Xuan Ruler, with its yellow flames surrounding him and the violent aura of a Heavenly Flame spreading out.

On the other side, in the sky, Nalan Yanran held the longsword in her slender hand, the blade of her sword pointed at Xiao Yan, her beautiful face glowed, looking holy, and her aura emanated like a blazing sun.

Outside the square, an uproar resounded among the Misty Cloud Sect disciples, who gawked at the two people preparing their attacks in the square.

"What's with that guy? This gathering of energy from heaven and earth... isn't this the rumored precursor before the release of a Di Dou Technique!?" Someone gasped.

"Di Dou Technique! Master Xiao Ming gave this to him?" Some people looked in the direction where Xiao Ming was standing with a puzzled expression, with Xiao Ming's status as a sixth-tier Alchemist and the strength of a Dou Ancestor, there seemed to be no problem in acquiring a Di Dou Technique.

...

Hai Bodong and the others also looked at Xiao Ming curiously.

Xiao Ming knew what they were thinking, but did not bother to explain.

Xiao Yan cultivated the Dou Techniques he had given to the Clan, such as those 'Hundred Flames Strike' and 'Blazing Steps', but they were all Xuan Class.

He had not given the family any Di Dou Techniques too early, and the ones he had given them were five wind, wood, and ice attribute Di Dou Techniques of relatively clean origins that he delivered before heading to the Imperial Capital.

Obviously, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to cultivate those Dou Techniques, so he should now be using a Di Dou Technique given by Yao Lao.

Seeing that Xiao Ming did not say anything, Hai Bodong and the others turned their gazes back to the square.

Looking at the two people who were accumulating energy, Yun Yun's pretty face was quite calm, but her slender jade hand resting in front of her abdomen had been squeezed until it ended up with a red mark, her gaze slowly shifting from Xiao Yan to Nalan Yanran, there was a hint of worry hidden in her beautiful eyes.

'That flame of Xiao Yan's seems to be something peculiar, even I feel a throb when I see it. We may lose the duel, but nothing must happen to Yanran. If her life is in danger, I will save her!'

At this moment, two wind breaking sounds were suddenly heard in the sky, and two figures appeared on the top of a huge tree around the square.

After the two figures appeared, those who were on top of the trees on the other side, such as Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bodong, glanced over, and when their eyes fell on the middle-aged man dressed in a light green robe with a vaguely attractive face, they were stunned. Then, laughter could be heard as they greeted him one after another. It could be seen from this what kind of status this person had in the Jia Ma Empire, that even Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bodong were so polite.

The person who arrived was none other than the Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire, Gu He, and following closely behind him was his disciple.

At this moment, Gu He's face was very unpleasant, and he did not even pay attention to the greetings of Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bodong, whom he normally treated cautiously, but just stared at Xiao Yan on the square, or to be precise, at the Heavenly Flame in his hand.

Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian were confused by his strange behavior.

A moment later, Gu He gritted his teeth and said, "That's the Wind Fury Dragon Flame!"

Hearing Gu He say this, Yun Yun's face suddenly changed. Wasn't this the name of the Heavenly Flame that had been stolen from Gu He? How could it be in Xiao Yan's hand? Could it be that he was the black-robed person who had stolen Gu He's Heavenly Flame?

Looking at the black robe on Xiao Yan's body, Yun Yun felt that what she was thinking was probably correct.

Seeing Xiao Ming out of the corner of her eye, Yun Yun bit her lips. 'No, we should ask about this matter later!'

Although the Misty Cloud Sect had always wanted to maintain good relations with Xiao Ming and was willing to give some benefits, this did not mean that they could let go of the person who had attacked their Elder!
