A Dou Wang Descends, the Spinning Red Lotus!

A Dou Wang Descends, the Spinning Red Lotus!

"Rumble!"

Beneath the roiling sea of fire clouds, vast Dou Qi spread outward in ripples.

"Dou Qi Materialization?" Ruo Lin sucked in a cold breath.

She had never expected a mere Wutan City to have a Dou Ling expert. She had underestimated the Xiao Family.

"Your family has a Dou Ling?" Even Luo Bu could not remain composed.

"No!" Xiao Yu replied blankly.

"Crash!"

The surging fire clouds shattered apart, and the nearly tangible Dou Qi slowly dispersed.

The youth atop the pavilion revealed a slender, handsome face.

"X-Xiao Yan?!"

Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning's cries from behind them made Ruo Lin and the others stop breathing.

"W-What did you say?" Ruo Lin's voice trembled.

The newly advanced Dou Ling on the pavilion roof was Xiao Yan?

"Whoosh!"

Sensing several auras below, Xiao Yan curled his lips slightly and his figure flickered.

He moved with lightning speed, leaving a string of afterimages in his wake.

"You..."

Staring at Xiao Yan, who had appeared before her, Ruo Lin's face was full of astonishment. "You're Xiao Yan?"

Seeing Xiao Yan nod with a smile, even the normally refined Ruo Lin could not help blurting out a curse.

"He's fucking fifteen?!"

A fifteen-year-old Dou Ling!

Who would believe that? Seeing Luo Bu and Ge Ci standing silent as cicadas in winter, Xiao Yu could not help mocking them. "Luo Bu, weren't you usually pretty impressive? Why aren't you acting tough now?"

"I..." Luo Bu's face turned ashen.

This was a Dou Ling!

Even those freaks from the academy would be sent flying with a single slap from Xiao Yan! "Xiao Yu, did this guy cause trouble for you?"

"More than that!"

Xiao Ning immediately complained, "My sister already said it wasn't necessary, but he still wanted us to stand under the blazing sun for half an hour—including Xun Er!"

Oh? Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over Luo Bu, frightening him into feeling as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I don't want this to happen a second time."

Hearing Xiao Yan's indifferent voice, Luo Bu abruptly let out a breath of relief and nodded frantically.

Having calmed herself, Ruo Lin was just about to say something.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yan raised his brow in surprise, sat down cross-legged, and began circulating the Dou Qi within his body.

"You're breaking through again?"

Ruo Lin froze. "You just broke through to Dou Ling, and you're about to advance again?"

Xiao Yan closed his eyes without a word as the feedback from the Fallen Heart Flame appeared once more.

"What a despair-inducing cultivation speed!" Everyone looked on with envy.

This monster must join Jia Nan Academy, whatever the cost! Ruo Lin thought to herself.

Time slowly passed.

Suddenly.

A green streak of light shot violently toward the Xiao Family from the distant horizon.

"A Dou Wang?" Ruo Lin's beautiful eyes grew solemn.

She could feel the intense fury carried within the Dou Qi sweeping toward them.

"Xiao Yu, did your family offend a Dou Wang?" Ruo Lin asked gravely.

"I don't know." Xiao Yu shook her head in confusion. The Xiao Family lived in such a remote place—how could they possibly have had the chance to encounter a Dou Wang? "Could it be him?" Xiao Yu lowered her head in shock.

Other than this youth, who looked harmless but was actually ruthless and decisive.

No one in the Xiao Family would dare provoke a Dou Wang.

"Boom!"

Standing in the air above the Xiao Family, a dignified figure flapped his emerald-green Wings and roared furiously.

"Who is the Xiao Family head? I am Zuo Xiu Hua, head of the Zuo Family! Get out here!"

The immense waves of sound rolled forth almost tangibly, making Xiao Yan's tightly shut eyes crease slightly.

"Bang!"

Xiao Zhan leaped into the air and landed atop a roof. He clasped his hands solemnly. "I am Xiao Zhan, head of the Xiao Family. I did not know a Dou Wang expert would personally arrive, and failed to welcome you from afar..."

"Cut the bullshit!" Zuo Xiu Hua roared again, causing blood to seep from Xiao Zhan's nose and mouth.

"Where is your son, Xiao Yan? Tell him to get the hell out here! Otherwise, I'll make your entire Xiao Family accompany him in death!"

So it really was him! Xiao Yu shot Xiao Yan an angry glare.

Why did he have to offend a Dou Wang for no reason? Was a Dou Wang someone he could afford to provoke?

Xiao Zhan's expression darkened as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Senior Dou Wang, my son Xiao Yan left Wutan City half an hour ago. Whatever you want with him, I will bear it alone!"

"You?"

Zuo Xiu Hua's face twisted. "Can an ant like you repay my grandson's life? Unless I wipe out your Xiao Family, the hatred in my heart will never be quelled!"

"Boom!"

With a flip of Zuo Xiu Hua's palm, roaring Dou Qi condensed into an enormous emerald-green tiger.

"Wood Spirit Tiger's Roar!"

The Dou Qi tiger pounced down wildly, carrying a mountain-crushing, sea-parting momentum as though it would pulverize the entire Xiao Family.

"The Xiao Family is finished!" A trace of schadenfreude flashed through Luo Bu's eyes.

A genius?

A monster? Once you were dead, you would all become ashes! "Zuo Xiu Hua, your grandson raped and abducted women everywhere. He deserved to die, yet you still have the nerve to seek revenge?"

A deep, cold snort rang out, and a giant cloud hand crushed the emerald tiger in its grasp.

"A Dou Wang?" Ruo Lin and the others cried out again.

What kind of place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers was this tiny Wutan City?

It had actually attracted two Dou Wangs!

"Bang!"

The Dou Qi beneath his feet exploded as Mittel Tengshan shot into the sky and faced Zuo Xiu Hua with a hearty laugh.

He had been worrying over how to make Xiao Yan owe him a great favor.

And now, the opportunity had come!

"Mittel Tengshan?"

Zuo Xiu Hua roared in fury, "This matter began because of your Mite'er Family. I did not go looking for you, yet you attacked me first? If you do not wish to become enemies with my Zuo Family, move aside!"

Mittel Tengshan smiled leisurely. "Zuo Xiu Hua, with this old man here today, you will not lay a finger on anyone from the Xiao Family."

"Mittel Tengshan, you're courting death!"

Zuo Xiu Hua frantically drove his violent Dou Qi, raising his hand and releasing over a hundred green streaks of light.

Every one of those streaks was enough to kill a Dou Ling! Zuo Xiu Hua and Mittel Tengshan collided fiercely, and clusters of dazzling Dou Qi light exploded in the sky, drawing the shocked gazes of everyone in the city.

"Yan'er!"

Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth and landed beside Xiao Yan, overwhelmed with anxiety.

"Your Xiao Family actually knows a Dou Wang?" Luo Bu was both envious and jealous.

Even in the chaotic Black-Corner Region, an expert of that level possessed considerable influence.

"Clan Leader!"

The appearance of more than a dozen Dou Ling Elders stunned Ruo Lin and the others once again.

However.

The gap between Dou Lings and Dou Wangs was like an insurmountable chasm.

Because Dou Wangs could fly! Thus, though the dozen or so Dou Ling Elders possessed abundant Dou Qi, they could only watch anxiously.

"Dan Yang Wood Seal!"

Zuo Xiu Hua let out a hoarse roar as brilliant green light flared from his right palm, transforming into a wooden seal.

"Bang!"

The wooden seal tore through Mittel Tengshan's defenses and slammed into his chest with unstoppable force.

Mittel Tengshan immediately retreated, flapping his illusory Wings while coughing up blood.

"That old Dou Wang is finished!" The excitement in Luo Bu's eyes grew even stronger, and he could no longer be bothered to hide it.

Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Clan Leader Teng Shan, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please leave at once!"

Mittel Tengshan's gaze darkened as his trembling aged right hand struggled to gather Dou Qi.

Yet anyone could see that he was already at the end of his strength.

"Mittel Tengshan, do you truly think I, Zuo Xiu Hua, fear you?"

Zuo Xiu Hua gave a sinister smile. "The Mite'er Family's reputation was built entirely by Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong! Without him, your Mite'er Family has nothing but an empty name!"

"Even if I destroy your Mite'er Family, the Jia Ma Empire will merely have one less Dou Wang!"

"Mittel Tengshan, you brought this upon yourself!"

Zuo Xiu Hua raised his right hand with a vicious grin. The Dou Qi throughout his body surged out, forming a massive emerald sphere of light that radiated astonishing Dou Qi with a thunderous rumble.

"This is bad!" Mittel Tengshan's expression turned grim.

With his strength, he naturally could not contend against Zuo Xiu Hua. But if he fled now, the Mite'er Family would never be able to hold its head high in the Jia Ma Empire again.

Just as he was caught between advancing and retreating, preparing to fight to the death.

A calm voice carrying a trace of chill sounded behind him.

"Clan Leader Teng Shan, leave the rest to me."

Rumble!

Scorching Heavenly Flames erupted like a volcano, spreading out from Xiao Yan's body before gathering together.

In an instant.

A massive dark crimson fire lotus materialized with a thunderous roar as it spun!
