One Man, One Palm, Suppressing Two Emperors!

High in the sky, figures clashed in chaotic battle after chaotic battle. The elders of Jia Nan Academy were still fiercely fighting the people Han Feng had brought.

Yao Lao had taken control of Xiao Yan's body and was locked in a stalemate with Fan Lao.

Suddenly, a white-clad figure appeared on the horizon. Looking at the chaotic battle in the sky, his gaze narrowed slightly before finally locking onto Fan Lao.

"Daring to lay a hand on someone from my Xiao Family? You're courting death!"

With a thunderous step, the figure crossed dozens of zhang. After only a few steps, his voice had barely arrived when he himself appeared before everyone.

Xiao Lin did not waste words. He directly struck out with his left palm, then fiercely clenched his hand at Fan Lao.

Crack!

An incomparably crisp sound rang out, like ice shattering, and even the space around Fan Lao rippled.

Fan Lao, the Blood Sect's sect master, was a four-star Dou Emperor. In the Black Corner Region, he could indeed be considered a formidable figure.

Yet Xiao Lin crushed him with sheer force. Their realms differed by a full realm and a half, and Xiao Lin simply steamrolled him, leaving Fan Lao with no chance to fight back.

Fan Lao's face turned deathly pale. He had no time to resist before a mouthful of blood mixed with shattered organs sprayed from his mouth.

Azure gusts surged from Xiao Lin's palm and, in an exceedingly brief instant, enveloped the heavily injured Fan Lao.

At once, shrill screams echoed across the vast plains...

"Grandfather?" Xiao Yan was both delighted and shocked. Delighted at their reunion after so long, shocked that the old man's cultivation had advanced so rapidly. How had he already reached such a level?!

Elsewhere, Fan Lao's screams also interrupted the battle between Mr. Gold and Silver and Su Qian.

"Hehe, perhaps Han Feng killed him for treasure and attacked Fan Lao!"

Grand Elder Su Qian's eyes flickered as he spoke coldly, seeking to unsettle the people Han Feng had brought.

"Hehe, Old Su, there's no need for you to sow discord. Before we set out, we had already received our payment from Han Feng. We only need to hold you lot back for a while."

Mr. Gold and Silver formed a pincer formation from front and rear, surrounding Grand Elder Su Qian as they chuckled.

"Is that so? Unfortunately, you've missed your best chance to leave."

At that moment, a light voice drifted over from afar. Xiao Lin and Xiao Yan arrived at the main battlefield, one before the other.

The others were all desperadoes of the Black Corner Region and knew little about what had happened in other nations.

But Grand Elder Su Qian of Jia Nan Academy was different. He knew of the changes that had taken place in the Jia Ma Empire and had heard of Xiao Lin's legends. He had even seen his portrait.

Now, Xiao Lin and Xiao Yan stood one before the other, their faces bearing considerable resemblance. Their true identities needed no explanation.

"This old man has come from the Jia Ma Empire to see a junior of my Xiao Family. I did not expect to happen upon this scene. Grand Elder Su Qian, do you require this old man's aid?"

Xiao Lin stood with his hands behind his back, suspended high in the air, carrying an ethereal air as though he might drift away and ascend at any moment.

"If the Xiao Family Supreme Elder is willing to assist, I would be immensely grateful. My Jia Nan Academy shall certainly regard the Xiao Family as an ally!"

"Ha ha, good!" Hearing Grand Elder Su Qian's promise, Xiao Lin's lips curved up slightly.

Mr. Gold and Silver and the other experts were no fools. Though they did not recognize this man in white, he could stand in the sky without using Dou Qi Wings, and Old Su was treating him with such sincerity. He was clearly no ordinary person.

Their group had already shown professional integrity by helping Han Feng hold them off for so long. Now that the other side had gained another Dou Zong, the pressure had suddenly increased.

"When in doubt, retreat!"

Mr. Gold and Silver exchanged a glance. Dou Qi burst from their bodies and blasted toward Grand Elder Su Qian, while they used the force to fly backward, actually attempting to flee!

"In front of this Xiao, don't even think about running."

Xiao Lin smiled faintly. With several leaps, he directly appeared along Mr. Gold and Silver's escape route.

Then he struck out with one hand, his five fingers tightly clenched as he pressed down. Between the gaps of those five fingers,

wisps of azure drifted out, while within his palm, space twisted so chaotically that even light was swallowed.

Naturally, the golden and silver figures would not surrender without a fight. Yet the enormous palm stretched across the sky, blotting out heaven and earth!

Though both sides were Dou Zongs, this white-clad man's strength surpassed Su Qian's by an unknown extent. The moment the powerful Dou Qi palm made contact, it directly slammed the Gold and Silver Elders down from the sky.

At the same time, wisps of azure breeze bared their fangs, their sharpness fully revealed. They sliced across the pair's Dou Qi shields, leaving one large gash after another.

"This opponent is tough. Fight him with everything we have!"

The Gold and Silver Elders looked grim as they diverted Dou Qi to reinforce their shields, lest those wisps of azure energy ambush them directly.

However, a massive Dou Qi hand suddenly condensed high in the air, directly forming a Dou Qi hand hundreds of zhang wide!

The Dou Qi within Xiao Lin flowed like rivers, vanishing at a visible rate as it continuously solidified the Dou Qi hand in the sky. Its lines and veins were all clearly visible, as though it were a true hand of flesh and blood!

Boom!

It descended in suppression, carrying an unstoppable momentum, directly suppressing the Gold and Silver Elders!

Dust and smoke rose everywhere. A deep crater dozens of li wide appeared on the black plains, and at its center was that nearly tangible Dou Qi hand!

Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether they were from Jia Nan Academy or among those Han Feng had brought, whether strong experts like Dou Zong Su Qian or ordinary elders,

all sharply drew in a breath, their gazes fixed on the white-clad figure in the sky!

One man, one palm, suppressing two Emperors!

This man's strength was terrifying beyond measure!

Seeing that Xiao Lin had dealt with the two toughest opponents, Grand Elder Su Qian's eyes flashed coldly. He suddenly waved his hand and said:

"Don't let a single one of them escape!"

For a time, screams rang out without end. With Dou Zong Su Qian personally taking action, there were no surprises. Aside from a mere handful who managed to escape, everyone else was defeated on the spot.

After that strike, Xiao Lin did not continue attacking. Instead, he circulated his cultivation method to recover his Dou Qi, standing in the sky as he watched Jia Nan Academy's counterattack.

Once the dust settled, Grand Elder Su Qian came to Xiao Lin's side and cupped his hands in thanks. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he asked:

"Many thanks to the Xiao Family Supreme Elder. But may I ask what brings you to the Black Corner Region in such leisure?"

"Elder Su Qian, do you know of the Sect Tournament in the Northwest? I came this time to bring back some talented younger members of my clan and establish a sect."

Xiao Lin answered thus.

Hearing this, Su Qian outwardly showed a look of realization and nodded lightly. Then he suddenly asked:

"Did the Xiao Family Supreme Elder happen to see some people chasing after a fire serpent?"

Only after thinking seriously for a moment did Xiao Lin reply:

"On my way here, I truly did not encounter the fire serpent Elder Su Qian mentioned. Has something happened?"

Grand Elder Su Qian's eyes flickered slightly. It was unclear whether he believed Xiao Lin, but he still told him everything about Jia Nan Academy, the Heavenly Flames' rampage, and Han Feng leading men here.

"Han Feng has gone too far. Once your academy's headmaster returns, will he still get away with this? He's truly been blinded by greed."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin decisively took the moral high ground and criticized Han Feng.

"Alas, who knows when the headmaster will return. As for the Heavenly Flames and Han Feng, I can no longer sense their auras at all..."

Perhaps believing that Xiao Lin truly had nothing to do with the Heavenly Flames, Grand Elder Su Qian let out a long sigh and spoke with a bitter expression.
