"This kid... what... what is he going to do?!"
Offstage, Li Chengxu, who clearly saw Xiao Yan's movements, suddenly twitched his old face, staring at the scene unfolding in disbelief.
He simply couldn't believe that Xiao Yan actually possessed two different kinds of Heavenly Flames. Moreover, just now, he had even slapped the two Heavenly Flames together in an extremely exaggerated manner. Wasn't this behavior tantamount to courting death?
If it weren't for Xiao Yan's calm demeanor, he probably would have already made his move.
"What exactly is this kid trying to do?"
With his old eyes fixed on Xiao Yan in the arena, Li Chengxu was filled with shock. His gaze was fixed on the dazzling flames that kept shooting out sparks between Xiao Yan's hands. Although the flames looked gorgeous, everyone knew that once those two Heavenly Flames exploded, their power would probably make even the Origin King present tremble.
"Elder, what exactly is Xiao Yan planning to do?"
Because the changes in the scene were so astonishing, even the other elders of Burning Flame Valley could not see the true situation under the dazzling light. They could only sense that an extremely large amount of energy was rapidly gathering between Xiao Yan's hands. Although that energy had not yet fully condensed, it had already made them feel uneasy.
At the same time, the other Origin King below the stage also changed their expressions. The aura in the arena was so strong that even they felt a faint pressure. The people present were all well-known powerhouses in the Far Southern Land, and naturally they would not be foolish enough to ignore this situation, nor would they be arrogant just because the other party was a junior.
Although Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan's cultivation levels were still relatively weak at the moment, they were both very clear that these two could not be treated with ordinary standards. If anyone dared to underestimate them, even Origin King would likely suffer a setback at their hands.
As time passed, a beautiful pale blue Fire Lotus slowly condensed in Xiao Yan's hand, illuminated by the firelight. At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure finally descended upon the plaza.
"What a terrifying aura!"
"Is this really something Origin Return Realm kid could do?"
The moment the invisible aura of pressure swept across the plaza, all the powerful figures present instantly changed their expressions, and everyone was shocked. Li Chengxu's Elder Zhang became especially solemn. If it were just these two, it wouldn't be a big deal, but there were still many disciples of his Burning Flame Valley present, so he naturally couldn't take this matter lightly.
"Elders of Burning Flame Valley, heed my command! Immediately reinforce the formation; we must not allow this battle to affect the disciples outside the arena!"
At a command, all the elders of Burning Flame Valley nodded hurriedly, and even the deacons stepped forward one after another, solemnly pouring all the Origin Qi in their bodies into the array that covered the entire square. Instantly, golden light shone brightly on it, and the dense aura made outsiders relax a little.
With the protection of the formation, the people outside finally felt more at ease. Almost at the same time, Xiao Yan and Qin Yan inside the arena each sent forward their huge fire spears above their heads and the Fire Lotus in their hands.
An awe-inspiring aura erupted instantly. The musket's sharp and domineering power easily tore through the void, and waves of fire swept outwards continuously. Even the already shattered floor melted at a visible speed under this terrifying heat.
Such an attack would probably be too much for even an ordinary Origin King to easily withstand!
In contrast, the Fire Lotus that comes into view appears as calm and serene as autumn water.
The pale blue Fire Lotus slowly rotated in the void, appearing quite graceful and seemingly harmless. However, wherever it passed, the void silently collapsed, leaving nothing but emptiness beneath the Fire Lotus.
Then, amidst the tense and anxious anticipation of the powerful figures outside the arena, the Fire Lotus and the fire spear in the arena finally collided with a deafening roar.
"Buzz!"
The heavens and earth trembled, followed by a buzzing sound and an invisible wave of energy. In the blink of an eye, the void and the earth collapsed completely. The defensive array, which was filled with golden light, began to shake violently. The intense flames within were no longer something that the array could stop. The Burning Flame Valley stewards who were constantly supplying energy to the array suddenly turned pale. As their Origin Qi dissipated, they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Without the help of these stewards, the power of the defensive array immediately became weaker. Even with the combined efforts of the elders of Burning Flame Valley, the array shook more and more violently, and the constantly surging power within it was terrifying. Every collision between the energy and the array made the hearts of those present tremble.
Until a certain moment, when the energy within the formation completely exploded, the terrifying aftershocks of energy once again slammed into the formation.
"Click!"
With a crisp cracking sound, everyone present's pupils suddenly contracted, and Li Chengxu's old face changed drastically in an instant. Before he could make a move, a terrifying wave of flames broke through the defensive array in the next moment, sweeping across the sky and in all directions above the square.
The raging flames threatened to engulf everything, and the terrifyingly high temperature rapidly melted the nearby stone platform. The group of Origin King below the platform hurriedly mobilized their Origin Qi to resist this terrifying power while retreating rapidly backward.
"Oh no!"
Li Chengxu's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but shout out, but it was too late. The terrifying wave of flames swept wildly across the square, and no one could stop the energy anymore. All the disciples of the Burning Flame Valley turned pale, staring in terror at the approaching flames of destruction. Their bodies were no longer under their control, and they could only stand there dumbfounded, waiting to die.
"Sigh, you two brats, you're going to ruin my Burning Flame Valley!"
However, at that very moment, a sigh suddenly echoed between heaven and earth. Almost simultaneously, everyone present was shocked to see that the raging wave of flames instantly froze in mid-air as soon as those words were uttered. Then, an invisible force descended from heaven and earth.
The invisible energy transformed into two giant hands, seemingly possessing heaven-defying power. They actually gathered the scattered flame energy together again in an extremely strange way. The terrifying energy rapidly contracted, and the destructive aura that had enveloped everyone's heads vanished in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the energy returned to Xiao Yan and Qin Yan's bodies.
This scene shocked everyone present, and their faces showed disbelief. But just as they were stunned, the elders of Burning Flame Valley seemed to suddenly remember something. Their eyes lit up with joy, and their confusion vanished instantly, replaced by the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.
"Valley Master! The Valley Master has appeared!"
"The Valley Master has made his move!"
"Valley Master, you're finally back!"
The elders of Burning Flame Valley, including Li Chengxu, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley would appear at this critical moment and save all the Burning Flame Valley disciples present with heaven-defying methods!
