The Curtain Falls
Just as the young man flew out, Xiao Yan used extraordinary footwork, like a swimming dragon, to instantly break free of the encirclement and appear first at the spot where the young man was about to fall.
After skillfully locating the Fire Crystal Card for transfer, Xiao Yan released Xiao Xun'er, letting her retreat behind him, and then glanced at the remaining four people.
The eye technique is indeed very powerful, but its flaws are also quite obvious. Once the opponent is in the blind spot of vision, it will become completely ineffective.
The young man who looked like the captain suddenly stomped on the ground and instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Xiao Yan.
This person used some unknown Dou Technique; not only was his speed incredibly fast, but his body also left a noticeable layer of charred black marks on the ground.
A scorching gust of air rushed towards him, and as Xiao Yan watched, the tall young man's five fingers formed into claws, fiercely slashing towards him.
This person possesses the strength of Dou Ling) and unleashed High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique that he had cultivated for many years, enough to easily defeat an ordinary four- or five- Dou Ling.
Under Xiao Yan's focused gaze, he could already predict the trajectory of the attack, but this time he did not dodge. He just stood there, as if he had no time to react.
"It's over." The young man smiled coldly, his Dou Qi surging wildly, and an even hotter temperature erupted from his five fingers, increasing his speed once again.
Just as the youth's attack was about to land on Xiao Yan, he suddenly felt as if his entire palm had been plunged into a deep-sea whirlpool, unable to advance even an inch further.
The young man frowned and immediately increased his strength, but because of the great force, he was affected by the vortex and found it difficult to maintain his balance.
Immediately, the youth's five fingers, moving with incredible speed, plunged deep into the ground, easily embedding themselves in the rock under immense force.
Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly. As Da Dou Shi, he could already release his Dou Qi. With the help of his special armor, he could easily unleash the Void Vortex Force without any special movements.
It appears to have no defenses whatsoever, but breaking through it is extremely difficult.
In particular, the young man's Dou Qi attribute is fire, which is exactly what counters the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, so even powerful Dou Technique can only be used at less than 50% of their potential.
Just as the young man stumbled and fell in front of Xiao Yan, a sharp sound suddenly pierced the air.
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow, gleaming with cold light, shot straight toward Xiao Yan. With such close coordination, let alone an ordinary Da Dou Shi, even some experienced Dou Ling experts would have their chests pierced by this arrow.
Xiao Yan stepped on the shoulder of the young man in front of him, and his arms quickly drew a circle in front of him. Amidst the surging of Dou Qi powerful Dou Qi, a circular ripple barrier seemed to form.
The arrow arrived in front of the circular ripple barrier in the blink of an eye, and then crashed into it. The arrow, which was as fast as a meteor, was slowed down slightly by the obstruction.
Xiao Yan's arms moved continuously, creating ripples that greatly reduced the power of the incoming arrow.
This is the essence of the Cosmic Life-and-Death Way.
Even the strongest attack will eventually be worn down if its power is gradually diminished.
Especially now that Xiao Yan has the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to assist him, it is not only of great help in alchemy, but also has endless uses in refining attack power.
The archer was dumbfounded. It was the first time he had ever seen Da Dou Shi block his arrow. Undeterred, he fired three more arrows in quick succession, each one faster than the last, aimed at Xiao Yan's arm, chest, and calf respectively.
The last arrow was the fastest and most powerful, almost capable of striking first despite being launched later.
Xiao Yan frowned, but simply increased the size of the circle he was drawing and continuously increased the speed.
In the past, he cultivated on his own, and even if he didn't cultivate well, it wasn't a big problem.
With such excellent sparring partners, their mastery of Dou Technique improves rapidly under such life-or-death pressure.
The scope of the Cosmic Life-and-Death Way is not only broader, but its ability to eliminate decay is also enhanced.
When the three arrows struck the ripples formed by the circle, their speed decreased significantly. Immediately afterward, a burst of icy white energy erupted, freezing all four arrows solid, which then turned into ice shards with a bang.
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, and under the somewhat dumbfounded gaze of the archery youth, he bent his fingers into a bow, gathering all his energy into the string. "You shot me four arrows, I'll return the favor with one."
With a deep shout, a small arrow, no bigger than a palm, shot out suddenly, as fast as a streak of light.
Although the young archer was stunned into thought, his teammate was very clear-headed. One of the overweight young men slammed his hands on the ground.
A yellowish-brown light flashed, and a thick earthen wall, as thick as a city wall, instantly rose from the ground, blocking their path.
The moment the wall appeared, the arrow struck it.
With a soft "thud," the small arrow pierced through the wall several meters thick as easily as if it were tofu, and then pierced the young archer's shoulder.
A spray of blood exploded behind the wall with a bang.
The young man cried out in pain, but quickly retrieved a hemostatic pill and applied it to the wound. However, he could no longer draw his bow and shoot an arrow.
Just then, the earth thumped, and a burly, dark-skinned youth from the White Fiend Team, as strong as a black bear, took advantage of the gap to arrive in front of Xiao Yan.
The dark-skinned youth's muscles were taut like iron blocks; even before his fist arrived, his violent energy had already stirred up a hurricane.
The fist, shrouded in black mist, fell like a meteor, its force compressing the air in its path and creating visible distorted ripples!
All the rubble within a ten-zhang radius was suspended in mid-air, and spiderweb-like cracks on the ground rapidly spread to Xiao Yan's feet. This was a strike powerful enough to split mountains and shatter monuments.
Xiao Yan made no attempt to resist, allowing the opponent's attack to land on him with a muffled thunderous sound.
Upon landing a punch, the dark-skinned youth was greatly encouraged, his Dou Qi surging wildly within him. His fists rained down on Xiao Yan's exquisite white armor.
This was the first time he had ever encountered such a sturdy sandbag!
"Stop! The freshmen have won this year's Fire Energy Hunting Tournament."
Just as the young man was having a good time, a withered hand suddenly pressed down hard on his shoulder, and an old voice came from behind him.
The young man frowned, glanced at Xiao Xun'er not far away, then turned to the elder who was blocking his way, and replied in his gruff voice, "The battle is not over yet."
"If this continues, someone will die." The old man lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the young Dou Ling on the ground who was already vomiting blood.
"This..." The dark-skinned youth followed the old man's gaze and gasped in astonishment.
The captain, who was hit, seemed fine, but lying flat on his back looked like he was about to die?
The old man was also very puzzled, wondering what method Xiao Yan had used to transfer the force of the attack that was falling on him to the young Dou Ling he was standing on.
Xiao Yan patted off the dust that wasn't actually on his armor, smiled, and turned to walk towards Xiao Xun'er.
