Gu He arrived

This is determined by the fighting style and the Dou Qi Attribute.

The Wind Attribute is inherently flexible and versatile, and its attacks are sharp, making it difficult for Xiao Yan's powerful attacks to be effective.

Na Lan Yan Ran's normal attacks were swift and agile; although not very powerful, they still caused Xiao Yan considerable trouble.

On the vast bluestone plaza, powerful Dou Qi and sharp sword energy continuously burst forth, leaving clearly visible deep marks on the surrounding hard floor.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes following the shifting figures that appeared and disappeared. The increasingly intense and heated battle made many people's hearts leap into their throats.

Xiao Yan looked at Na Lan Yan Ran with a grim expression. After a long battle, his Dou Qi recovery speed was starting to fall behind. Although Na Lan Yan Ran's Dou Qi had also been depleted, she looked much better than him!

Besides his movement technique, this was also due to his desire for a quick victory, which resulted in him unleashing too much Dou Qi.

Moreover, Na Lan Yan Ran has many ranged attack methods, all of which are Profound Tier Dou Technique. She keeps kiting him. With Na Lan Yan Ran's strength, she can use these Dou Skills. Even if the opponent is a strong person two or three stars above her, it is impossible for him to defend against them so easily. He can't use Heavenly Flames. If this continues, he will eventually run out of Dou Qi first and lose the competition!

With a dark gaze fixed on Na Lan Yan Ran not far away, Xiao Yan bit his lip until it bled, tasting the metallic flavor of blood in his mouth. He thought bitterly, "I absolutely cannot lose this match! Teacher, I want to use my Heavenly Flames!"

Immediately, Yao Chen's aged voice rang out, "Sigh, fine, use it if you want. With your clansman and those two Snake People Race, even if you're discovered, your safety shouldn't be a problem."

"Um..."

Suddenly leaping backward, Xiao Yan retreated to a distance. He gripped the handle of the Heavy Xuan Ruler with both hands, spread his feet apart, and raised it perpendicular to his body. Wisps of earthy yellow flames swirled around the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and an extremely violent Aura spread out. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy) seemed to boil, all gathering towards the Heavy Xuan Ruler.

"Na Lan Yan Ran, let's settle this with one move!"

Na Lan Yan Ran was breathing heavily, her chest, still covered by light blue armor, heaving. Her slightly disheveled black hair was stuck to her smooth forehead with sweat.

To suppress Xiao Yan, who was also at the Da Dou Shi level and possessed extremely strong combat power, Na Lan Yan Ran also expended a great deal of energy, and Xiao Yan also inflicted many injuries on her.

Hearing Xiao Yan's shout, her gaze froze for a moment. When the Dou Skill was released, it drew upon the Heaven and Earth Energy to enhance it. This was... Earth Tier Dou Technique!

She took a deep breath, removed the hairpin from her head, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, reaching all the way to her shapely buttocks. Her fair hands gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

Let's decide... the outcome!

A mysterious Aura emanated from her body, her long hair moved without wind, and her delicate body slowly floated into the sky.

At the same time, the surrounding energy also boiled, and rings of light blue ripples spread out from within the body.

With a swing of his longsword, the blade pointed at Xiao Yan. As the sword trembled, sunlight slowly gathered from the sky. In just a moment, the sword shone brightly, like a second sun in the sky.

Above the Misty Cloud Sect plaza, the energy between heaven and earth began to boil rapidly, like boiling water, with almost tangible energy streams gathering around Xiao Yan and Na Lan Yan Ran.

On the ground, Xiao Yan's expression was cold and gloomy. He held the Heavy Xuan Ruler, which was as big as a door panel, horizontally. Earthy yellow flames swirled around it, and the violent Aura of the Heavenly Flames spread out.

In the sky, Na Lan Yan Ran held a sword in her delicate hand, its blade pointing at Xiao Yan. Her fair face, illuminated by the light, had a somewhat sacred quality, and she exuded a fiery Aura, like a blazing sun.

Meanwhile, outside the arena, a commotion arose among the Misty Cloud Sect Disciples, who stared in disbelief at the two figures gathering their strength on the plaza.

"What's wrong with that kid? Energy gathering... Isn't this the prelude to the release of a legendary Earth Tier Dou Technique?" someone exclaimed in astonishment.

"Earth Tier Dou Technique! Could this have been given to him by Master Xiao Ming?" Some people looked towards Xiao Ming's location with puzzled expressions. Given Xiao Ming's status as Grade Six Alchemist and his strength Dou Zong, obtaining Earth Tier Dou Technique seemed like no problem for him.

Hai Bodong and the others also looked at Xiao Ming with curiosity.

Xiao Ming knew what they were thinking, but he was too lazy to explain.

Xiao Yan did indeed practice the Dou Skill he gave to his family, such as the Hundred Severing Slash and the Flame Steps, but those were all at the Xuan Tier.

He hadn't given Earth Tier Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills to his family before; he only gave them five Wind, Wood, and Ice Attribute Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills with relatively clean backgrounds when he came to the Imperial Capital a few days ago.

Xiao Yan obviously wouldn't cultivate these things; he's probably using the Earth Tier Dou Technique that Old Man Yao gave him.

Seeing that Xiao Ming remained silent, Hai Bodong and the others turned their attention back to the arena.

Watching the two gathering their strength, Yun Yun's pretty face remained calm, but her slender hands, resting on her lower abdomen, had already left red marks. Her gaze slowly shifted from Xiao Yan to Na Lan Yan Ran, a hint of worry appearing in her beautiful eyes.

"Xiao Yan's flames seem rather peculiar; even I feel a chill run down my spine. Fine, I can lose the duel, but Yan Ran must not be harmed. If her life is in danger, I must act first to save Yan Ran!"

Just then, two whooshing sounds suddenly rang out in the sky, and two figures abruptly appeared atop a towering tree surrounding the square.

After the two figures appeared, Jia Xingtian and the others on the top of the tree all turned their gazes over. When their eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the light blue robe with a surprisingly handsome face, they were all taken aback. Immediately, a series of greetings and laughter erupted. This showed what kind of status this man held in the Jia Ma Empire, that even Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong treated him with such courtesy.

The newcomer was none other than Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire, followed closely by his disciple.

At this moment, Gu He's expression was very unpleasant. He ignored the greetings from Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong, whom he usually treated with great care. He just stared intently at Xiao Yan on the field, or more precisely, at the Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hand.

This left Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian completely bewildered.

After a long pause, Gu He gritted his teeth and said, "That's Wind Fury Dragon Flame!"

Upon hearing Gu He's words, Yun Yun's expression changed drastically.

Isn't this the name of the Heavenly Flames that Gu He was robbed of? How did it end up in Xiao Yan's hands? Could it be that the person in black robes was the one who stole Gu He's Heavenly Flames?

Looking at Xiao Yan's black robe, Yun Yun felt that her guess was probably correct.

"No, we have to get to the bottom of this later!"

Although the Misty Cloud Sect has always wanted to maintain a good relationship with Xiao Ming and is willing to offer some benefits, it doesn't mean they can let go of the person who attacked their elder!

Otherwise, if word gets out, their Misty Cloud Sect will fall apart!
