Elder Tongxuan slowly descended beside Xiao Yan. Looking at the slowly spinning Five-Colored Fire Lotus in Xiao Yan's hand, he sighed softly and extended his withered palm. "Give it to me. Gu Yao has already lost."
The brutality in Xiao Yan's eyes gradually faded. He slowly straightened up, turned to look at Elder Tongxuan, hesitated for a moment, then finally handed the Fire Lotus over to him.
Taking the Fire Lotus, the elder merely gave it a light squeeze. The lotus silently shattered, and the rampant destructive power it had contained vanished completely without causing the slightest disturbance.
"Whew..."
Having finished everything, Elder Tongxuan secretly let out a breath of relief. Though he had dealt with the Destruction - Fire Lotus with apparent ease, had he acted any later, the thing might have leveled the entire plaza.
And Gu Yao, who had been at the heart of the explosion, likely would not even have left behind ashes!
After resolving this major problem, the old man lightly waved his sleeve. A gentle energy enveloped Xiao Yan, restoring some color to his slightly pale face after his massive expenditure of Dou Qi.
"Gu Yao, you have lost this match!" Elder Tongxuan turned his gaze toward Gu Yao, who was half-reclining on the ground, his face still pale and body rigid, and calmly announced the final result.
Gu Yao's body suddenly trembled. Coming back to his senses, he scrambled to his feet in a sorry state. Though he had already been utterly defeated by Xiao Yan in reality, the pride he had been born with made it impossible for him to accept it right away. He had actually lost to the descendant of a clan that had completely fallen into ruin!
Elder Tongxuan did not give Gu Yao a chance to continue arguing.
