Battle Rhythm

What would happen when Xiao Yan, a six-star Dou Zun, clashed head-on with a Spirit Clan expert of the same level?

It was completely one-sided!

The Spirit Clan's six-star Dou Zun had barely met the attack when Xiao Yan's Mountain Opening Seal sent him flying. Xiao Yan's offense was always fierce, and the Spirit Clan Dou Zun had not been ready for it from the start.

Xiao Yan's physical strength had also been enhanced time and again. After being tempered by Pill Lightning through Heavenly Lightning Soul Forging, it was on an entirely different level.

Even so, Xiao Yan felt a twinge of regret. If he had Wei Jiangyuan's speed and could strike first despite moving second, that Spirit Clan man might have suffered badly under his Emperor Seal Art.

As it was, Xiao Yan had seized the initiative, but the Spirit Clan Dou Zun had reacted in time. He had been knocked back, yet he had neutralized most of the force.

From that exchange and the reaction of his companion, Xiao Yan could tell that although the Spirit Clan Dou Zun before him was middle-aged and genuinely a six-star Dou Zun, neither man had fought his way to that rank one punch at a time. They were fundamentally different from experts forged in real battles.

That weakness might not show in a simple sparring match, but in a fight to the death, they would never match others of the same rank.

With that clear, an idea for handling the fight began to take shape in Xiao Yan's mind. His thoughts did not slow his hands in the slightest.

The other Spirit Clan man grew wary. This fellow, who appeared to be only a three-star Dou Zun, was nowhere near as easy to deal with as he had imagined.
