By now, Nalan Yanran had barely any Dou Qi left in her Dou Crystal.
But with a Tier 3 High-Grade Demonic Weapon in hand, she could once again unleash attacks at the Da Dou Shi level—and with the power of a high-level Da Dou Shi!
Of course, the sustained attacks a Demonic Weapon unleashed using its Magic Core's energy could only rival ordinary attacks from someone of the same level who was not using a Dou Technique.
That power came from pure energy output.
Its might was probably considerably weaker than the Dou Techniques the two had used earlier.
So relying on this alone to defeat Xiao Yan, who had expended considerable energy but suffered little injury, was hardly a sure bet.
However, a Demonic Weapon's strengths did not end there.
Besides steadily consuming energy, a Demonic Weapon had another mode of use: an all-out burst!
An all-out burst meant releasing all the energy within the Magic Core at once, driving the artifact patterns to their limits—or even overloading them—to unleash an attack comparable to an all-out strike from someone of the same level!
For instance, if Nalan Yanran released all the Magic Core energy in her Tier 3 High-Grade Demonic Weapon, the resulting attack would almost equal a seven- or eight-star high-level Da Dou Shi unleashing a Profound Tier Low Grade Dou Technique with all their strength!
That was even more terrifying than the Flame Splitting Wave Ruler Xiao Yan had unleashed with his low-level Da Dou Shi strength, a technique he could not yet fully control!
As one of the few people on the Dou Qi Continent with extensive exposure to Demonic Weapons, Xiao Yan understood them better than anyone else.
Thus, his expression was now exceedingly grave.
Xiao Yan did not choose to rush forward and interrupt
