"Wind's Peak – Dazzling Sunset!"
From the sky came a delicate yet firm shout, and the terrifying energy fluctuation finally erupted.
A sharp wave of sword qi, like the coming of doomsday, blasted down from the sky, sweeping toward Xiao Yan with overwhelming force.
However, Nalan Yanran also understood that the energy shockwave from this clash would be devastating.
She quickly executed a High-Grade Black Class movement technique, her graceful figure rapidly retreating at high speed.
The solid stone floor, under the pressure of the sharp sword qi, actually cracked open, with fissures stretching all the way to the far end of the plaza.
Below, the disciples of Yun Lan Sect, sensing the terrifying sword qi from above, quickly circulated their Dou Qi. Streams of Dou Qi surged from within them.
Finally, with the help of a secret fusion technique, they formed a massive energy shield that covered more than half the plaza to protect themselves.
"It's actually Wind's Peak! I didn't expect Yun Yun to even teach her that. But with her current strength, she can only unleash half of this Dou Technique's power."
Looking up at the sword qi falling like a blazing sun, Jia Xingtian muttered, clearly well-versed in the Dou Techniques of Yun Lan Sect.
"Heh, compared to that girl, I'm more concerned about that Xiao clan brat. Although his Earth Class Dou Technique is of a higher Class than Nalan Yanran's Dazzling Sunset, I'm afraid he can't even bring out one-tenth of its power. Plus, their Dou Qi levels and techniques differ greatly. This time, he might really lose."
Fa Ma lightly stroked his beard, smiling as he watched Xiao Yan unleash a desperate strike.
"Indeed. And where there's treasure, there's greed. It seems some people already have their eyes on his Earth Class Dou Technique."
Hai Bodong chuckled lightly and glanced around. Many eyes had already turned greedy.
Though most understood that for this Xiao clan brat to possess such a technique, there must be a powerful force behind him, many were still tempted to take a gamble.
Or perhaps they thought he had simply gotten lucky and inherited a legacy, and wanted to take the Dou Technique for themselves.
On the plaza below, as the two Dou Techniques clashed, the fiery great ruler and the blazing sun-like sword light collided.
Under countless tense gazes, crimson and light-blue streams of light flashed rapidly across the sky.
Finally, around ten meters from the ground, they collided fiercely like two meteors crashing into one another.
Boom!
The deafening blast from the collision of Dou Techniques echoed across the entire Yun Lan Mountain!
The thunderous explosion roared above the vast plaza, shaking the hearts of everyone present with fear and awe.
After the blast came the explosive energy collision that bloomed like a volcanic eruption.
The two energies, each strong enough to kill a Dou Ling, met in the air for only an instant before violently releasing the terrifying power hidden within.
Instantly, a wild gale appeared above the plaza, howling past at breakneck speed.
The energy shockwaves bursting from the sky, carrying horrifying might, swept in all directions!
Xiao Yan, being the closest to the impact point and without the aid of the Purple Cloud Wings from the original novel, was the first to be struck by the shockwave.
Having completely exhausted his Dou Qi to unleash Flame Splitting Tsunami, he could no longer even maintain his Dou Qi armor and had no strength left to resist the violent energy.
Struck head-on, his chest visibly dented, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth.
His body shot backward at great speed, crashing heavily into the defensive shield set up by the Yun Lan Sect disciples.
However, at that moment, a faint white energy suddenly surged from his body, blocking the remainder of the shockwave for him.
As for Nalan Yanran, although she was airborne and had managed to distance herself slightly using the Floating Willow Movement Technique, she was still caught by part of the shockwave.
A mouthful of blood spurted from her lips as well, and her entire body was sent flying backward.
"Bang!"
After knocking both of them flying, the energy shockwave swiftly crashed into the protective shield set up by the Yun Lan Sect disciples.
However, they had clearly underestimated the terrifying force born from the clash of the two energies. The relatively fragile shields were instantly and utterly destroyed by the overwhelming impact.
Some of the weaker Yun Lan Sect disciples turned pale, coughing up mouthfuls of blood on the spot.
High above, Yun Yun naturally wouldn't sit idly by while her disciples' lives were in danger.
With a graceful wave of her jade-like hand, a surge of azure energy shot out, condensing into a barrier before the disciples and easily blocking the seemingly unstoppable energy shockwave.
As the dust gradually settled, the condition of the two combatants came into view under the worried and curious gazes of the crowd.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was on one knee, completely drained of strength. The Dou Crystal within him had dimmed to near extinction, completely devoid of Dou Qi. Combined with his severe injuries, even lifting a single finger seemed beyond him.
As for Nalan Yanran, she was like drifting catkins in a storm.
Borrowing the faint currents of wind, her body swayed lightly and gracefully in mid-air, narrowly evading wave after wave of incoming energy shockwaves.
However, the range and number of shockwaves were simply too overwhelming.
After dodging over a dozen of them, she finally grew exhausted. Her movements slowed just slightly—and at that moment, a shockwave struck her body head-on.
Her delicate face turned pale, and another mouthful of blood involuntarily burst from her lips.
"Could this end in a draw?"
Seeing this scene, one elder of the Yun Lan Sect couldn't quite accept the current situation and frowned as he spoke.
Another elder turned to Yun Leng beside him and said, "Grand Elder, this doesn't seem to be going in our favor."
Yun Leng frowned deeply, slowly stroking his beard. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low voice, "Let's observe a bit longer. Try to avoid letting Yanran lose. Otherwise, in front of so many powerful figures, where would Yun Lan Sect's dignity go?"
"What are you suggesting, Grand Elder?"
The nearby white-robed elders were momentarily stunned, then their brows furrowed slightly.
"Just keep watching. The Sect Master is still present."
Waving his hand, Yun Leng said nothing further.
On the platform, Yun Yun's beautiful brows furrowed as she watched the unfolding scene, clearly unable to accept such an outcome.
However, when she sensed a familiar energy suddenly emerging from Xiao Yan's body, her expression changed drastically.
"Hm? That energy just now…"
Sensing the white energy with his soul perception, Fa Ma's aged face suddenly showed a look of shock, as if recalling something from the past.
"That energy... from that sixth-tier alchemist from before?!"
As a peak Dou Huang, Jia Xingtian naturally sensed the sudden emergence of that strange power. After a moment of reflection, an image of a black-robed alchemist he had once cooperated with surfaced in his mind. He exclaimed in surprise.
