Dou Wang Expert? How Is That Possible!

Nalan Yanran could not be bothered to keep arguing with Xiao Yun. No matter what, this engagement had to be called off today.

She then turned her gaze to Xiao Yan, her tone carrying an overbearing force that brooked no refusal. "Xiao Yan, you must sign the agreement on this marriage contract. Otherwise, this matter will not be easy to settle today."

Yet Xiao Yan sat there without speaking, his face revealing no particular expression. He merely clenched his fist slightly.

The elders exchanged glances. Though none of them spoke, they had all been observing Xiao Yun's attitude just now.

Since Xiao Yun had made it clear that he disliked Nalan Yanran, they naturally knew which side to take.

The Second Elder was the first to speak. "Miss Nalan, I think we should forget about this. This marriage agreement was personally arranged by Old Master Nalan back then. If you wish to break it off, you must at least give us a convincing reason."

The Third Elder followed up as well. "Exactly. You come to our door with a fourth-grade medicinal pill and demand to dissolve the engagement. If word gets out, outsiders will think the Xiao Clan is easy to bully."

"Miss Nalan, please return. We will not sign this agreement to dissolve the engagement. Signing it would be an insult to the Xiao Clan."

Though the First Elder did not speak, he nodded in agreement.

Nalan Yanran's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this. She had not expected these mere Xiao Clan elders to dare stand up and oppose her.

In her expectations, she had come to break off the engagement under the name of the Misty Cloud Sect, and the Xiao Clan should have meekly agreed. Even if anyone was dissatisfied, they should not have dared say so to her face.

Yet the situation before her had completely exceeded her expectations. Every one of these elders had an unexpectedly unyielding attitude.

"You... you dare defy the Misty Cloud Sect's wishes?" Nalan Yanran's voice carried a trace of anger.

The Second Elder merely smiled at those words. "Miss Nalan, you cannot put it that way. The Misty Cloud Sect is the Misty Cloud Sect, and your desire to break off the engagement is your own matter. Those are two different things."

"You may break off the engagement if you wish, but asking our Xiao Clan to sign this agreement is something we cannot comply with."

Nalan Yanran flew into a rage upon hearing that, then turned her gaze toward Xiao Yun.

"You! Get out of this young lady's sight!" Nalan Yanran pointed at Xiao Yun and angrily berated him.

"This is none of your business! If you do not get out, be careful or I'll cripple you!"

Xiao Yun chuckled upon hearing that, his face filled with disdain.

"Cripple me? With you?"

Seeing his attitude, Nalan Yanran became even more furious. As the personal disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect's leader, wherever she went, people fawned over her and treated her with respect. When had she ever been looked down upon by a piece of trash like this?

"A piece of trash with Two-Stage Dou Qi dares speak to me in that tone?"

"You really won't give up until you see the coffin! I have no choice but to teach you a lesson!"

The instant her words fell, Nalan Yanran's aura erupted violently, shocking many people in the hall.

Sensing that pressure, the younger members of the Xiao Clan all retreated several steps, concern appearing on their faces.

After all, the pressure of a Dou Zhe was still immensely oppressive to the Xiao Clan's younger generation.

However, just as Nalan Yanran was about to make her move, she suddenly paused. After giving it some thought, she said, "Forget it. I am a Dou Zhe, after all. If I bully a piece of trash with Two-Stage Dou Qi, my reputation will suffer if word gets out."

"You attack first. I'll give you one move, so no one can accuse me of bullying the weak."

"If you know what is good for you, get lost and stop being an eyesore."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yun nearly lost his composure. This woman was actually letting him attack first?

This woman truly did not know how the word death was written.

"You're sure you want me to attack first?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Enough nonsense. If I tell you to attack, then attack. If I move within one move, I'll consider it my loss."

Ge Ye had originally intended to stop her, but seeing Nalan Yanran's absolute confidence, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

In his eyes, Xiao Yun was nothing more than trash. Even if there was something strange about him, he could not possibly pose any threat to Nalan Yanran.

However, seeing Nalan Yanran's confident look, Xiao Yun did not stand on ceremony with her.

"Then I won't hold back."

After he spoke, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm. It was not particularly fast, looking like an ordinary, unremarkable strike.

But the instant that palm shot out, an incomparably terrifying aura burst forth from his body.

Ge Ye's expression changed instantly. Shock filled his face as he cried out like he had been struck by lightning, "Not good! Dodge!"

Nalan Yanran was still standing where she was, waiting for Xiao Yun to make his move. When she heard Ge Ye's alarmed cry, she froze in confusion.

She instinctively tried to dodge, but her body could not keep up with her reaction.

That palm had already arrived before her. The palm wind, wrapped in terrifying Dou Qi, rushed straight at her face, and Nalan Yanran felt as if even her breathing had stopped.

Just as the palm was about to strike her face, it suddenly stopped less than an inch away.

That terrifying Dou Qi howled past her cheek, shattering the tables and chairs behind her into pieces.

Nalan Yanran's face turned deathly pale. She stood frozen in place, not daring to move at all.

She could even feel that if the palm had advanced even the slightest bit farther, her head would likely have shattered into fragments just like the table behind her.

"You..."

Nalan Yanran opened her mouth, but even her voice trembled as she spoke.

Looking at the youth before her, whom she had just considered trash, Nalan Yanran's mind went completely blank.

Was this really the worthless trash from the rumors?

Two-Stage Dou Qi?

What a joke!

She had felt the oppressive force of that aura clearly just now. It was absolutely not power that a Dou Zhe could unleash. It was even far stronger than an ordinary Dou Shi.

"What? Why are you spacing out?" Xiao Yun withdrew his palm and spoke unhurriedly.

"Didn't you say you would let me have one move? I've already used my move. What do you think?"

Nalan Yanran's face was filled with shock after he threw those words back at her.

She was the dignified personal disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, yet she had been frightened stiff by a Xiao Clan piece of trash. If this got out, how could she ever face anyone again?

Yet the terrifying aura from that instant had been far too powerful. Even now, her legs still felt weak.

"You... what is your true strength?" Nalan Yanran asked through gritted teeth.

Ge Ye had already hurried to Nalan Yanran's side, his expression turning exceptionally grim.

He stared at Xiao Yun in shock, and the astonishment in his heart was no less than Nalan Yanran's.

This youth's strength was definitely above his own, perhaps even far above it.

How could a junior of the Xiao Clan possess such formidable strength?

"Yanran, I'm afraid we won't be leaving anytime soon today," Ge Ye said in a low voice.
