The Mystic Ice Spear was shrouded in icy energy, with black flames occasionally appearing and bringing an extremely unreasonable heat. The fierce, beast-like force bent the spear into an exaggerated arc, and the sound of wind breaking through the air made Yao Sheng, who wanted to close in, feel his hair stand on end.

The stinging sensation around his pores made Yao Sheng clearly feel the power of Xiao Yuan's sweeping attack.

Xiao Yuan's ability to create distance at such close range clearly surprised Yao Sheng. Feeling the oppressive wind coming towards him, he sneered, tapped his toes, and his body suddenly rose into the air. His two daggers flashed and stabbed downwards.

"Bite!"

The two daggers stabbed heavily into the Mystic Ice Spear that had just swept past beneath him. Amidst the sparks flying, a powerful force erupted, and by virtue of his superior Dou Qi, he actually managed to suppress the Mystic Ice Spear.

Although daggers are not good at direct attacks, Yao Sheng ultimately has an advantage over Xiao Yuan in terms of Dou Qi. With the amplification of his Dou Qi, the small and agile dagger was able to suppress the Mystic Ice Spear containing extremely strong power. This is the benefit of a higher level and greater strength.

With his twin daggers striking the Mystic Ice Spear, Yao Sheng bent his arms and, using the force of the spear, flipped his body in mid-air. Then, he kicked off the ground with his feet, his figure like a hawk hunting its prey, shooting straight at Xiao Yuan's head with lightning speed. The sharp twin daggers in his hands carried a chilling wind that made one's skin crawl.

Faced with Yao Sheng's sudden and ruthless attack, Xiao Yuan remained fearless. The sweeping spear was forcefully pulled back, and with a twist of her waist and a swing of her arms, she directly drew the spear in her hands upward in an arc trajectory filled with black ice mist.

Wherever the arc of ice mist passed, the air, which had become damp due to Yao Sheng's Dou Qi, was directly frozen into black ice crystals. Under the impact of the two's energy, the ice crystals shattered and scattered on the ground.

Yao Sheng was quite surprised that his attack failed. His body twisted strangely in mid-air like a fish in water, and the Mystic Ice Spear narrowly grazed his body and flew away.

As his attack was dodged, Xiao Yuan stepped to the side while retracting his spear, twisting his body and thrusting the spear out again. At the same time, Yao Sheng had already landed on the ground, and his two daggers crossed. Surprisingly, the overlapping part of the daggers blocked Xiao Yuan's straight thrust, and he slid backward with the force of the impact.

The exchange between the two was short but extremely dangerous. If either of them made the slightest mistake, the Mystic Ice Spear and dagger would inflict serious injuries on the other.

Many people in the square were not strong enough to see through the trick, they only felt that the two figures were moving quickly and their weapons were clashing, making some dense sounds.

Bai Cheng's expression turned slightly serious. With his strength, it was not difficult for him to see that Xiao Yuan's spear technique was extremely skillful. In the previous battle, he had used a long spear, but due to his emotions, he had not been able to objectively analyze Xiao Yuan's level. But now that he had calmed down and thought about it, Xiao Yuan's spear technique was indeed quite exquisite. With the strength of Two-Star Dou Ling, he was able to hold his own against Yao Sheng, which was truly unbelievable.

Of course, this does not mean that Yao Sheng's strength is inferior to Bai Cheng's. In fact, his performance is mainly due to the restraint of his Dou Qi.

Ice Attribute Douqi and Heavenly Flames are quite effective against Water Attribute Douqi, which prevents Yao Sheng's attacks from reaching a normal level. In addition, the Heavenly Flames amplifies the attack power, so this imbalance gives Xiao Yuan some advantage.

In the arena, Yao Sheng gently rubbed the two daggers in his hands, his gaze turning to Xiao Yuan with a more solemn expression. In the previous lightning-fast exchange, the latter's extremely rich combat experience had not allowed him to gain the slightest advantage.

"He blocked them all!" Yao Sheng's eyes flashed as his mind raced. "His reaction and combat experience are no less than mine. My advantage now is that my actual level is higher than his. So, I'll use my level to overwhelm him!"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Yao Sheng's body trembled slightly. Instantly, a black Dou Qi with a slightly fishy smell surged out of his body. The Dou Qi swirled around him. This black Dou Qi was quite strange, and it seemed to be somewhat viscous. As it wriggled, faint black water droplets detached from it and fell onto the floor, forming small water stains.

As Yao Sheng unleashed his Dou Qi, an oppressive aura was immediately generated, instantly enveloping half the arena. Under this pressure, those of lower levels would experience a reduction in both speed and Dou Qi recovery. This was a common tactic used by higher-level opponents against lower-level ones.

Of course, this oppressive aura had little effect on Xiao Yuan. His Dou Qi, mutated after absorbing the Heavenly Flames, could completely shield him from this oppressive aura.

Similarly, black Dou Qi slowly spread out from Xiao Yuan's body, and an oppressive aura generated by the Dou Qi also surged out, occupying a small corner of the arena, while the rest of the arena was completely occupied by Yao Sheng's extremely domineering aura.

In the clash of auras, Xiao Yuan appeared to be completely suppressed, which was the difference caused by their true strength. Although Xiao Yuan's combat power was not weak, it did not play a significant role in this kind of aura clash.

"No matter how powerful you are, this is the difference in level." Looking at Xiao Yuan, who seemed somewhat "miserable" in the clash of auras, Yao Sheng couldn't help but laugh smugly.

Using power to intimidate others? Anyone can do that! Xiao Yuan glanced indifferently at the smug Yao Sheng, his hands slowly forming a strange hand seal. A moment later, a soft shout echoed in his mind, "Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, Yin-Yang Change!"

As the shout fell, surging black and white flames burst forth from Xiao Yuan's body, turning him into a fire figure. In an instant, the flames retreated back into his body like lightning. However, as the flames returned to his body, Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi surged instantly, his black hair moved without wind, and because of the surge in his Dou Qi, his aura also rose accordingly. For a moment, he was able to occupy half of the field with Yao Sheng.

Five-Star Dou Ling?! Yao Sheng's expression changed slightly as Xiao Yuan reversed the oppressive aura. While inwardly surprised that Xiao Yuan had actually used a second secret technique to enhance his strength, he sneered disdainfully, "Just a heretical method!"

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan responded with a cold laugh, unleashing the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. The sheer power of his Dou Qi in any of his Qi Mansion was now comparable to Yao Sheng's. Now, it was his turn to overwhelm him with sheer force! Swoosh! Xiao Yuan casually flicked his spear, and the sound of wind breaking filled the air. Despite being only Five-Star Dou Ling enhanced by a secret technique, his aura completely rivaled that of Yao Sheng, a veteran powerhouse who had already advanced to Seven-Star Dou Ling.

Among the crowd, some people couldn't help but admire Xiao Yuan. After all, no matter what method he used, if his combat power was strong enough, he could win people's respect. This was an unchanging law in the Douqi Continent!

However, Xiao Yuan's outstanding performance greatly displeased Yao Sheng, who was being used as a background character. At that moment, his gaze towards Xiao Yuan turned much colder. He slightly rotated his toes, and a barely perceptible black light gathered at the soles of his feet. A moment later, he suddenly tapped the ground with his toes, and with a whoosh, he instantly closed in on Xiao Yuan.

"Hiss, hiss"

Upon entering the attack range, Yao Sheng did not hesitate at all. His arms trembled rapidly, and his two daggers, like two venomous snakes, drew afterimages in mid-air as they viciously stabbed towards Xiao Yuan's entire body.

"Ding, ding, ding"

Xiao Yuan calmly wielded his spear, his footwork light and agile. His Mystic Ice Spear thrust out precisely, hitting all the afterimages of the countless daggers that were thrusting towards him. A series of crisp clanging sounds rang out like music.

With his hand gripping the Mystic Ice Spear tightly, veins bulged on Xiao Yuan's arm. The spear was wielded like a black Xiao Yuan, winding and circling around him, isolating him from all attacks.

At this moment, the advantage of the long spear became apparent. Within a three-meter radius of Xiao Yuan, the spear could always appear in time, and even if Yao Sheng attacked with all his might, he was still helpless against Xiao Yuan.

Such a high-density attack was extremely exhausting for Yao Sheng. After about five minutes of this storm-like attack, it finally began to slow down. A moment later, the afterimage of the dagger disappeared, and the pressure on the Mystic Ice Spear also eased instantly.

However, how could Xiao Yuan let go of such a great opportunity to pursue? He straightened his back and thrust his spear out, aiming straight for Yao Sheng's throat.

Feeling the coldness in his throat, Yao Sheng's hair stood on end. He immediately retreated rapidly, as if he were on a skateboard. At the same time, he put away his two daggers, and then moved his hands. A dense black Dou Qi surged out from his body, enveloping his entire body.

The black Dou Qi continued to spread, eventually forming a massive ball of Dou Qi Dou Qi that rhythmically contracted and expanded, as if it were brewing something.

Seeing Yao Sheng's somewhat strange behavior, Xiao Yuan immediately became vigilant. He then gathered his Dou Qi, and a black ice crystal storm quickly formed at the tip of his spear, which he then shot towards the black Dou Qi ball formed by Yao Sheng.

"Black Water World!"

At this moment, a deep shout suddenly came from the black Dou Qi. Immediately afterward, the black Dou Qi aura began to spin rapidly, and a whistling sound echoed throughout the entire arena.

Furthermore, as it rotated, countless black liquids shot out from it, instantly covering almost the entire arena.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan didn't hold back. With a jolt, a surge of cold air erupted from his body, instantly freezing the surrounding water into ice! In an instant, the black ice layer began to spread from Xiao Yuan's feet. As the hand seals in Xiao Yuan's hands changed, it actually turned around and surrounded Yao Sheng at an even faster speed. Then, to everyone's astonishment, it directly froze Yao Sheng, who had not yet emerged from the black Dou Qi ball, inside.

Huh? Everyone stared at this scene in astonishment, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.

Is this the Black Water World? Are you sure it's not the Mystic Ice World?

Within the black Dou Qi, Yao Sheng felt his Dou Qi circulation slow down, and his expression turned quite grim.

He never expected that the Black Water World he had created would be used against him by Xiao Yuan! Moreover, what he couldn't understand the most was that even if Xiao Yuan used a secret technique, he could only raise his strength to the level of Five-Star Dou Ling. His combat power was astonishing, which was normal, but to say that he could freeze his Blackwater Dou Qi was something that even an eight- Dou Ling's Ice Attribute Douqi couldn't do! What made Xiao Yuan think he could do that? Yao Sheng was very puzzled and furious.

Xiao Yuan was not surprised at all by this.

During their previous encounter, he had already tested Yao Sheng's Black Water Dou Qi. Even though Yao Sheng's Black Water Battle Qi was quite special, possessing a strange corrosiveness and stickiness, under the scorching heat of the Heavenly Flames, it would only evaporate into the purest water vapor, which would then be directly frozen by the Ice Attribute Douqi! As for the remaining impurities, they would be burned into nothingness by the terrifying high temperature.

This is similar to using distillation to separate substances with high boiling points.

Well, let's give the natives of the Douqi Continent a little scientific shock.

As for the black ice layer on the ground, it wasn't because of Yao Sheng's black liquid that it turned into black ice; it was simply because Xiao Yuan's Ice Attribute Douqi was black.

Click!

Suddenly, the sound of ice cracking rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the ice layer enveloping the black Dou Qi had developed some cracks. Clearly, Yao Sheng had used some real techniques to break the ice layer's restraints.

Xiao Yuan was not surprised by this. Yao Sheng was not weak. Judging from the intensity of his attack, he seemed to have used his trump card. Breaking the ice layer was just a matter of putting in a little more effort.

However, this amount of time is more than enough to determine the winner!

The next moment, the spear in Xiao Yuan's hand exploded in front of him, turning into a sky full of black ice mist. As Xiao Yuan's hand seals changed, Ice Attribute Douqi surged out of his body and poured into the black ice mist.

As Dou Qi was injected, the black ice mist began to surge violently, and a huge figure gradually took shape from it!

Mystic Ice Dragon Flight!

As a soft shout resounded in Xiao Yuan's heart, a soul-stirring dragon roar suddenly exploded from the black ice mist like thunder. A Mystic Ice Giant Dragon rushed out from it and headed straight for the ice layer that was about to shatter and was wrapped in black Dou Qi.

As Yao Sheng broke through the ice and burst forth, the Mystic Ice Giant Dragon, spewing black icy mist, arrived before him! Boom! In the next instant, before Yao Sheng could even react, the Mystic Ice Giant Dragon slammed into his arms, unleashing a terrifying force and bone-chilling cold!

"Pfft!"

A sharp pain shot through his chest, and Yao Sheng's horrified face flushed an unusual red. After a moment, he could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. His body was thrown backward as if struck by a heavy blow, finally crashing heavily to the ground. The ground where he landed cracked and then completely collapsed.

In the moments before he lost consciousness, he saw Xiao Yuan's indifferent eyes. At the same time, Xiao Yuan's calm voice struck him like a heavy hammer, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"You lost."
