Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance — Chapter 24

It was the high-grade Yellow-tier Dou Technique, the Heart-Shattering Palm!

The next moment, as Xiao Yu activated the Heart-Shattering Palm, her palm technique became exceptionally fierce.

Streams of force shot toward Xiao Yi.

Only after Xiao Yu used a Dou Technique did Xiao Yi's aura finally erupt, red Dou Qi coiling around him.

In an instant, Xiao Yi's speed increased considerably.

His footwork shifted without pause, and his figure slid half a foot sideways like a ghost, easily evading Xiao Yu's Heart-Shattering Palm.

"Cousin Xiao Yu, isn't your speed a little too slow..."

"Is this all you learned at Canaan Academy?"

Xiao Yi even smiled faintly at Xiao Yu as he teased her.

Yet Xiao Yu was completely unconcerned, the corners of her lips lifting slightly.

"Foolish boy, it seems you've reached the Dou Practitioner realm these past few years, but your mind still hasn't matured!"

Xiao Yu snorted coldly.

The Fine-Iron Steel Sword in her hand suddenly changed direction. With a flash of her body, she swung viciously at Xiao Yi's thigh.

Judging by her stance, Xiao Yu was determined to avenge Xiao Ning's broken leg today!

However, Xiao Yi remained utterly unhurried. A cold glint flashed.

The Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear abruptly appeared in Xiao Yi's hand.

Bang!

Xiao Yu's Fine-Iron Steel Sword struck fiercely against the shaft of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in Xiao Yi's hand.

A thunderous clang rang out.

How could a steel sword forged from fine iron compare to the Formation-Breaking Spear in Xiao Yi's hand, forged from mysterious meteoric iron?

At the very moment of impact, the steel sword in Xiao Yu's hand shattered instantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu froze briefly before visibly flushing red with rage.

"Xiao Yi!"

"Then let me show you what I truly learned at Canaan Academy!"

"Low-grade Mystic-tier Dou Technique, Blood Python Ice-Soul Palm!"

As Xiao Yu once more mobilized the Dou Qi within her body, a phantom image of a python slowly emerged behind her the next moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan abruptly rose to his feet. "Nonsense! How can such a high-level Dou Technique be used in a family tournament?"

The First Elder stood as well. "Clan Leader, rest assured. Yu'er knows her limits..."

On the arena, Xiao Yi looked at the python phantom behind Xiao Yu and murmured softly, "Low-grade Mystic-tier... interesting..."

The next moment, Dou Qi began circulating around Xiao Yi's body, and his red Dou Qi started to appear along the spear in his hand.

"Dragon Abyss Sky-Breaking Art, First Art, Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art!"

Xiao Yi activated a Dou Technique as well. An Earth-tier Dou Technique was anything but ordinary.

At that moment, Xiao Yi's entire body was enveloped in crimson light.

Seeing this, panic appeared on the First Elder's previously calm face. "Clan Leader, this is only a family match. Xiao Yi is getting serious, isn't he?"

The First Elder was neither foolish nor blind. From the sheer aura alone, he could tell that Xiao Yi's Dou Technique was even more powerful!

He feared that Xiao Yi would harm his precious granddaughter, Xiao Yu.

Yet Xiao Zhan merely smiled faintly. "First Elder, rest assured. Yi'er knows his limits..."

On the arena.

As the Dou Qi within Xiao Yu's body circulated, the enormous python behind her became increasingly distinct.

Meanwhile, streams of red Dou Qi had long since gathered at the tip of Xiao Yi's Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear.

A phantom dragon head flickered in and out of view.

Moreover, when that dragon head phantom appeared, even the sky overhead seemed to change color slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan could not help but freeze.

"This Dou Technique is terrifying! From the looks of it, it may be a high-grade Mystic-tier Dou Technique!"

"Yi'er has never left Wutan City. Where did he obtain such a terrifying Dou Technique?"

Yet the next moment, both Xiao Yi and Xiao Yu had finished gathering their power.

At the same time, they unleashed their Dou Techniques at one another.

Xiao Yu's palms struck out continuously, sending gusts of palm force infused with icy energy flying toward Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi casually swung the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in his hand, and a crimson slash shot forth in response, with a faint dragon shadow coiling around it.

This was the first time Xiao Yi had truly used the Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art.

Seeing the crimson slash he had released, Xiao Yi helplessly shook his head and murmured:

"Is this the might of an Earth-tier Dou Technique? Although I can cultivate it now, the power I can unleash is still far too weak..."

As Xiao Yi's words fell, the two great Dou Techniques in the air had already collided.

In that instant, Xiao Yi's crimson slash directly tore apart all of Xiao Yu's Blood Python Palm attacks.

Moreover, its power did not diminish in the slightest as it rapidly slashed toward Xiao Yu.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu froze completely in place.

She had never imagined that the low-grade Mystic-tier Dou Technique she was so proud of would be so utterly vulnerable before Xiao Yi.

Boom!

A massive explosion rang out, and countless clouds of dust instantly rose across the entire arena.

Seeing this, the First Elder on the viewing platform sprang to his feet and roared:

"Xiao Yi! This is a family match. How could you strike so heavily!"

As soon as the First Elder finished speaking, he prepared to leap onto the arena and personally check on Xiao Yu.

After all, in everyone else's eyes, the Dou Technique Xiao Yi had unleashed had already struck Xiao Yu.

With the power of that technique, even if she did not die from being hit, she would be severely injured.

Thus, the First Elder cared only about Xiao Yu's condition.

However, Xiao Zhan raised a hand and directly stopped the First Elder.

"First Elder, why are you so flustered over a match between juniors?"

"You should trust that Yi'er is a person who knows his limits!"

At that moment, the First Elder could no longer care about anything else. "Knows his limits? Wasn't my grandson Xiao Ning's leg also Xiao Yi's handiwork?"

Just then, the dust on the arena gradually dispersed.

The figures of Xiao Yi and Xiao Yu returned to everyone's sight.

When they looked over, they found that, contrary to what they had expected, Xiao Yu was not injured.

Only her clothes had been torn apart by the powerful shockwave.

Seeing Xiao Yu's thigh exposed by her torn clothing, Xiao Yi could not help but smile faintly. "Cousin Xiao Yu, after all these years, your legs are still as splendid as ever!"

In a panic, Xiao Yu hurriedly covered her torn clothes and glared furiously at Xiao Yi.

"You!"

But aside from being angry, Xiao Yu could do nothing now.

She knew very well that although she and Xiao Yi were both three-star Dou Practitioners, and although she had cultivated at Canaan Academy for many years,

she was still no match for Xiao Yi!

After all, if Xiao Yi had not deliberately avoided her with that Dou Technique just now, there was a strong chance she would have died here today.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was unharmed, the First Elder finally relaxed and let out a long breath.

Xiao Zhan's face was full of smiles as he looked at the First Elder.

"See? I told you Yi'er knows his limits!"

"If the First Elder had disregarded his status and rushed onto the arena just now, wouldn't that have been disgraceful?"

Xiao Zhan took the opportunity to lecture the First Elder.

Although Xiao Yu had not been injured, the First Elder's expression was extremely unpleasant.

After all, Xiao Yu had returned home to teach Xiao Yi a lesson, yet not only had she failed to achieve her goal,

she had even helped Xiao Yi show off magnificently before the entire clan.
