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!"
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!
