With a single move from Xiao Yan, even the ground seemed to begin trembling.
A surging torrent of lava crashed down, aimed directly at Gu Xing!
Among the many spectators, some were merely young people who had come to watch the excitement. By now, they could already feel the heat scorching their breath. Some even needed nearby clansmen to shield them slightly. This showed just how terrifying Xiao Yan's attack was!
There was no longer a trace of radiance on Gu Xing's body. He looked like a crumbling statue, yet he neither dodged nor retreated. He thrust both palms forward fiercely. The movement seemed slow, but it contained immense power capable of splitting mountains and shattering the earth!
Boom!
The first torrent of lava slammed fiercely into Gu Xing's palms, which resembled barren stone! A deafening explosion rang out as the dark-red magma was forcibly split apart by those massive earth-yellow palms. The raging fire flow was diverted to both sides, forming two scorching waterfalls behind Gu Xing, while flying sparks scattered like a crimson meteor shower.
However, this was only the beginning!
The reason Xiao Yan's Ninefold Crimson Tide was called "Ninefold" lay in its terror: a single attack that came in an unending succession of waves, each one stronger than the last! Almost the instant the first torrent was diverted, a second, thicker and more concentrated torrent of lava followed close behind! It was more ferocious and even more powerful!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out without pause. Gu Xing's body shook violently beneath the savage barrage of energy, while the earth-yellow glow on his surface rapidly dimmed at a visible rate.
"What a tyrannical Dou Technique!"
"But Gu Xing still hasn't shown any sign of defeat."
