311. Fighting Two Solo Masters
The Yellow Spring Venerable wanted to fight Xiao Yan, but how could Xiao Yan possibly let him have his way?
The devouring power on his right hand erupted, completely engulfing the Yellow Spring Venerable's attack, which was then pulled into the vortex abyss of Xiao Yan's right hand. At the same moment, Xiao Yan's soul power was also fully condensed. Xiao Yan had never encountered any attack methods involving soul power before, so he simply used the simplest method of alchemist combat: condensing his soul power and then unleashing it all!
Although soul power is formless and colorless, it is still a form of energy. A terrifying pressure pressed down, and the ground beneath the feet of Venerable Huangquan cracked open like a spider web due to this attack.
Venerable Huangquan didn't know Xiao Yan was an alchemist, and even if he did, he wouldn't have guessed that Xiao Yan's soul power was this strong. Sensing Xiao Yan's soul power, Venerable Huangquan's face paled; it was already comparable to the soul power of some eighth-grade alchemists he had seen!
"What kind of freak is Xiao Yan?" Venerable Huangquan cursed through gritted teeth. While Dou Qi could be enhanced through secret techniques, Venerable Huangquan had already guessed that Xiao Yan's three-stage power surge was most likely due to the Burning Flame Valley's secret technique—the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame! However, soul power couldn't be forcibly enhanced through any secret technique. Venerable Huangquan suddenly had a terrifying guess: Could Xiao Yan be an eighth-grade alchemist?
A twenty-three-year-old eighth-grade alchemist is definitely a powerful figure he can't afford to offend! However, seeing the soul power attack before him, Venerable Huangquan knew that reconciliation was no longer an option. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to kill Xiao Yan!
A dead eighth-grade alchemist has no appeal whatsoever!
"Shadow of the Underworld!"
Inky black battle aura flowed from the Yellow Spring Venerable's body, giving it a sticky feel at first glance. Countless black shadows danced from his blades, leaving trails of black energy that chilled the very bones!
Two completely different energies collided in mid-air, the violent shock even temporarily swallowing up sound. The clash of energies caused this space to be shattered by the battle between Xiao Yan and Venerable Huang Quan.
The aftershocks of energy spread out, and even Venerable Huangquan couldn't completely withstand them, feeling a sweet taste in his throat. This kind of straightforward and simple clash is the ultimate test of fundamentals, and Venerable Huangquan believed that Xiao Yan's injuries were definitely more severe than his own! He also took a rare breath; Xiao Yan's attack was too fierce and too sudden.
"Huang Quan, you can't fight like this, slow down!" Lei Zun Zhe shouted to him as he took the opportunity.
Xiao Yan's simple and decisive Emperor Seal Technique had already caused Lei Zun to suffer a hidden loss. The power Xiao Yan was currently displaying was no less than that of either of them. Lei Zun didn't have the energy to investigate why Xiao Yan had suddenly gained such strength; they simply needed to take Xiao Yan extremely seriously. He was definitely not some inexperienced brat they could easily manipulate. Such a fierce battle could easily result in death.
If Venerable Huangquan and Xiao Yan were to both suffer heavy losses, with one dying and the other severely injured, that would be exactly the scene Venerable Lei would want to see. However, judging from the current situation, it is more likely that Venerable Huangquan will continue to be overconfident, and Xiao Yan will easily kill him. In that case, Venerable Lei would be under too much pressure, so he spoke up to remind him.
Venerable Huangquan was also indignant at this moment. He was completely stunned by Xiao Yan's attack and replied, "Do you think...?!"
Before he could even finish speaking, Xiao Yan had already broken through the energy ripples and appeared before him! Dressed in black and radiating killing intent, Xiao Yan seemed like a demon leaping out of the flames. For a moment, a sense of fear involuntarily welled up within the Yellow Spring Venerable, and he failed to react in time.
"Thunderclouds gather like dragons!"
Lei Zun Zhe, who was on the side, saw it even more clearly and came to Huang Quan Zun Zhe's aid immediately. The thunder dragon danced ferociously, and lightning suddenly shone on its body, containing the most violent energy in the thunder attribute battle qi!
"Huang Quan!" Seeing Huang Quan's stunned expression, Lei Zun immediately called out a reminder. His eyes revealed undisguised disdain; Huang Quan was a classic example of bluster masking weakness! Among the four Venerables of the Four Directions Pavilion, his fearsome reputation was the greatest, yet in actual life-or-death battles, he was also the most easily discouraged, consistently the weakest in terms of strength. Having been around for so many years, Huang Quan Pavilion had rarely emerged victorious in battles, thus always holding the last place among the Four Directions Pavilions!
However, he now had to protect Venerable Huangquan. Venerable Lei understood that Xiao Yan's current outburst was only due to the unsustainable nature of his secret technique, a forced release. Therefore, he had to forcefully suppress both of them. Once a stalemate began, he would eventually be defeated due to his inferior strength. So, the most important thing right now was to prevent Xiao Yan from succeeding. If he killed Venerable Huangquan directly, things would only get more complicated!
Lei Zun Zhe went all out, his magnificent lightning dragon taking shape and lunging at Xiao Yan. Huang Quan Zun Zhe reacted immediately and began to retreat. If Xiao Yan was only held back by Lei Zun Zhe for a short while, he could immediately launch a counterattack!
Xiao Yan seemed to completely ignore the thunder dragon released by Lei Zunzhe, showing no intention of defending it. His speed remained undiminished, and he directly approached Huang Quan Zunzhe. The killing intent in Xiao Yan's pure black eyes even chilled Huang Quan Zunzhe to the bone, and at the same time, the thunder dragon arrived!
How will Xiao Yan deal with Lei Zun Zhe's attack?
A mysterious and eerie black flame seemed to ignite instantly on Xiao Yan's right hand. A phantom of a black flame bloomed behind him, its shape indistinct, only vaguely resembling a burning flame. However, it possessed a captivating pull, giving one the feeling of being devoured upon even a glance.
Xiao Yan has now forcibly raised his strength to the Dou Zun realm through a secret technique, and is finally able to fully utilize the devouring ability contained in the Dou Sheng arm.
"Void Devours the Heavens!"
Xiao Yan stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the hideous head of the thunder dragon. The thunder dragon, which should have exploded, paused for a moment. The Thunder Venerable felt that the thunder dragon he had released had lost its connection with him for that instant!
Then the light of the thunder dragon disappeared, vanishing completely from Xiao Yan's hand. Before Lei Zun Zhe could even figure out what had happened, his full-force attack had disappeared in the most bizarre way? And his help did not stop Xiao Yan's progress at all. Xiao Yan had managed to swallow the full-force attack of a Dou Zun expert!
Huang Quan Venerable no longer had a chance to escape, as Xiao Yan unleashed the raging Red Lotus Heart Flame, sweeping in with overwhelming force!
