Cliff Fall

Before everyone's eyes, what had originally been a seven-versus-seven match had unexpectedly turned into five against three. Though the Iron Chain Bridge still stood before them, everyone knew that this time, they were competing in aerial combat.

Xiao Yan's opponent looked to be only around twenty years old. At such a young age, reaching the Dou Emperor realm on a plane that was not one of the three Super Lower Planes was enough to show his extraordinary talent.

"Uncle, why are you joining in the fun too? Wouldn't it be better for you to obediently remain a local emperor in a Lower Plane?" The man opposite him beat his wings, tracing a graceful arc through the air, while the longsword in his hand stabbed toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's Eternal Ancient Flame Ruler appeared in his hand as well, and the two weapons collided in a burst of firelight. Xiao Yan felt utterly stifled. No matter what, he had been a genius of the Battle Qi Continent, yet after arriving on this continent, people had called him uncle again and again. Xiao Feng was one thing—a little brat—but now even someone more than ten years younger than him was calling him uncle. Where was he supposed to put his face?

What mattered in aerial combat was balance and how to borrow force. Xiao Yan gripped the Eternal Ancient Flame Ruler tightly and could not help glancing toward the other two battlefields.

Xiao Yan estimated that Xiao Wanqing's multicolored wings were at least a high-grade Heaven-tier battle skill. Both her speed and balance were excellent. Her weapon was a white spear that glimmered with a faint silvery-white sheen. As a former Emperor Sovereign expert, Xiao Wanqing's responses and attacks were all perfectly measured. Even while fighting two alone, she faintly held the upper hand. The expressions of her two opponents darkened as well. Like Xiao Yan, they had received a thorough welcome from the Xue Clan nobles. Their yearning for noble status was no less than Huang Lin's group.

Xiao Yuting, however, was not having such an easy time. Her battle skill was also above the Heaven tier, far stronger than those of her opponents. But what she excelled in was poison arts, and her close-combat ability was not particularly strong. If her opponents had not feared her poison techniques, Xiao Yuting would have long since been defeated. Even so, she would not be able to hold on much longer if this continued.

Bang! A longsword collided with a massive ruler. Both men retreated a step. Xiao Yan was somewhat worried, but he knew his opponent was no simple figure either. Their strength was already affected in the sky, so Xiao Yan did not dare lower his guard.

Just then, trouble arose on Xiao Yuting's side. When Xiao Yuting inflicted poison upon her opponent, she was also struck by his palm, nearly losing her balance in flight.

"Yuting!" Xiao Wanqing forced back her opponents and called out.

"You hold your opponents back. I'll kill her, then come help you," one of the men fighting Xiao Yuting said.

Xiao Yuting had just used her poison on another man's hand. At this moment, that man's arm had turned black. That arm was likely completely ruined.

"If you want me dead, you'll have to throw away half your life too." Xiao Yuting looked at the man flying toward her. A dagger appeared in her hand, with several droplets of water still clinging to its blade.

"I forgot to tell you—I'm actually an alchemist too. My flame can resist all kinds of poison," the man flying toward her said. A cluster of bewitching red flames appeared in his hand.

"Is that so? You're nothing but trash." Xiao Yuting struck first before he could attack her.

Cliff Fall

"Get lost!" Seeing that Xiao Yuting was in dire straits, Xiao Wanqing repeatedly unleashed killing moves. Yet her opponents clung to her like flies, refusing to let go.

Xiao Yan knew that the best outcome now would be for him to defeat his opponent first and go aid Xiao Yuting. He no longer hesitated. An ancient pressure spread outward.

"Moo, moo..." Xiao Yan used his soul battle skill, Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath. However, he did not direct it at his own opponent, but at the person attacking Xiao Yuting.

The man attacking Xiao Yuting was caught off guard by Xiao Yan's soul battle skill, and Xiao Yuting's dagger pierced into his body. At that moment, he actually chose to self-destruct. His body began to swell and expand.

"Yuting, get away!" Xiao Wanqing cried.

But she was still one step too late. Xiao Yuting was struck by the force of her opponent's self-destruction, and her body dropped straight downward.

Seeing this, Huang Lin wanted to rescue her, but Xue Liang blocked his path.

"Didn't we agree? Life and death are determined by fate."

"You still have time to help others while fighting me? Since you care about her so much, go down and keep her company." Xiao Yan's opponent sneered. He unleashed his own soul attack as well. Caught unprepared, Xiao Yan lost his balance and gradually began to fall. Yet the man was still unsatisfied and launched another attack from above him.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuting were like two birds with broken wings, falling straight toward the mountain ravine.

"Get lost!" Seeing that both Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuting had been defeated, Huang Feng glared furiously at Xue Liang.

"Does your Xiao Clan intend to break the rules of the game?" Xue Liang said.

"You four, surround Xiao Wanqing. Today, you must capture her alive or kill her," Xue Liang told the four men.

Xiao Wanqing could handle two opponents alone with ease, and fighting three would only be barely manageable. But now, surrounded and attacked by four people, she gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Just then, several piercing sounds of wind came from afar. Xue Liang's expression changed. "Damn it, retreat! The Xiao Clan elders are here."

Xue Liang led more than ten disciples in green robes as they retreated toward a stretch of woodland.

But the four people besieging Xiao Wanqing were a step too slow. They were directly smashed into the cliffs on either side by a powerful blast of force.

"Elder Xiao Xuan!" Huang Feng and his Dragon-Phoenix Army immediately addressed the leading old man.

"How is the situation? The Xue Clan people actually came to our territory again to cause trouble." The old man called Xiao Xuan asked.

"Yuting and someone from a Lower Plane were knocked off the cliff," Huang Feng said helplessly.

"Something's wrong! Miss Wanqing flew into the mountain ravine by herself," a disciple said.

"Outrageous! Is that a place she can go down to?" Elder Xiao Xuan roared in anger.

"Huang Feng, escort them to the branch division. I'll go search." With that, the old man spread his flying battle skill and flew downward as well.

On the World-Creation Continent, only those who reached the Battle Immortal realm could fly freely. Thus, flying battle skills could be said to be the most widespread battle skills on the continent, as well as the most popular.
