" Mountain and River Seal!"
With a low shout in his heart, Xiao Yan immediately pushed his hands forward fiercely, and the handprint between his palms shot towards the rapidly falling spear in the sky. It swelled in the wind and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a huge handprint tens of feet long. Purple flames condensed on it, and its rugged aura made people feel an inexplicable sense of heaviness.
"This is... the Eight Great Techniques of the Gu Clan's Eight Emperor Seal Techniques?!"
"How did it end up in Xiao Yan's hands?"
In that instant, the Xiao Lei brothers on the stands, as well as all the elders in the elders' seats, all turned their astonished gazes toward Xiao Yan, who was unleashing the Mountain and River Seal in the arena, and each of them felt a sense of disbelief.
"Hmph, I told you long ago that this boy harbored disloyal intentions and should not be allowed to live. Now, you should believe me, right?"
However, Xiao Dingtian, upon seeing this scene, was not angry at all. Instead, a smug look appeared on his face. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Mingyuan and the others, then sneered.
"We can't judge things by appearances alone. Xiao Yan once said that he had seen the Zhao Clan family attack the Ouyang Clan. Perhaps he intervened to save them, and it just so happens that the other party was a member of the Gu Clan. To assume that everyone who reports back has ulterior motives is rather womanly."
Faced with Xiao Dingtian's sneer, Xiao Mingyuan and the others, though seemingly troubled, were also somewhat at a loss. At the crucial moment, it was the Grand Elder who silenced them with a single sentence, and only then did the latter reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
" The Eight Emperor Seal Techniques, huh? Today, let me witness the power of this Gu Clan's secret technique!"
His gaze returned to the arena. As Xiao Yan unleashed the Mountain and River Seal, Xiao Feng's expression finally turned solemn. He had naturally heard of the fame of this Dou Technique, and now that he had seen it, how could he be careless? Without any hesitation, he let out a low shout and took a heavy step forward, desperately mobilizing the few remaining Origin Qi within his body. Immediately afterward, the azure light on the rapidly descending spear intensified slightly.
Below, on the ground, Xiao Yan's expression was unusually calm. He had gained considerable insights into the Mountain and River Seal during his cultivation period. With this seal combined with the previous six seals, all seals were interconnected, and its power was comparable to High Intent Grade Dou Technique. He believed that even Xiao Feng in his prime would not dare to be careless. Now that he had made another move, the victory was already secured!
Of course, Xiao Yan used the Mountain and River Seal at this time partly to win, which was indeed a good thing, but more importantly, he also hoped to take this opportunity to test and see how well he controlled the Eight Emperor Seal Techniques.
The spear pierced the air like a falling meteor, heading straight for Xiao Yan below. The fiery handprint swelled in the wind, like a fiery banner sweeping across the void, violently distorting the invisible world around it. Then, it collided heavily with the spearhead!
"Bang!"
A deafening roar suddenly resounded, and energy ripples swept across the area once more. The two energies continuously eroded each other in the void. At the point of contact, the invisible void twisted drastically until it finally exploded with a bang.
This time, under the powerful suppression of the hand seals, the spear finally began to tremble violently out of control. Even with Xiao Feng's best efforts to support it, after the previous exertion, the sense of powerlessness in the face of Xiao Yan's attack was particularly clear.
On the battle platform, the stalemate between the two sides lasted only a few breaths. Then, under everyone's gaze, a clear cracking sound suddenly came from the spearhead that was colliding with the hand seal, and the next moment, it exploded with a bang!
"Pfft!"
Xiao Feng's face turned pale, and he staggered backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His aura finally completely collapsed.
At this point, the battle has come to a complete end.
However...
"What happened?!"
In the arena, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed. He focused all his energy on controlling the giant handprint that continued to blast forward, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It was still too much of a stretch!"
Even though Xiao Yan had used all his strength to try to control the handprint that was continuing to strike forward, the latter remained completely unmoved and continued to erupt.
"Damn it! Stop it right now!"
With a fierce determination, Xiao Yan bit his tongue, causing a spurt of blood to fly out. He then touched the blood with his fingertip, and with a thought, an invisible ripple of energy spread out along the invisible void...
"Buzzing..."
In the void, as the enormous handprint paused, within a grand hall of the Xiao Clan, a flash of multicolored light disappeared from inside a perfectly transparent crystal sphere...
At the same time, Xiao Yan, who saw the Mountain and River Seal finally stop, gradually let out a breath and quickly dispersed the terrifying thing.
On the elders' platform, many people watched the scene unfold, their expressions complex. Then, Xiao Mingyuan strode forward with a broad smile, raised his head, and announced in a loud voice:
" Xiao Yan this battle!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of everyone present in the vast martial arts arena froze for a moment, and the atmosphere in the arena solidified for a split second. Then, a sudden uproar arose. On the martial arts arena, Xiao Yan and Xiao Feng, their faces pale, looked at each other from afar. Neither of them had much emotion because of this so-called victory or defeat. In the light, their fighting spirit was still as fervent and intense as before.
On the stands, Xiao Xuan ignored the cheering crowd around him, moved swiftly, and appeared on the martial arts arena in the blink of an eye, catching Xiao Yan who was about to collapse.
This battle wasn't a true all-out effort, but the intensity of the fighting was unlike anything seen before. Every punch landed with a visceral impact, the force of the blows was palpable, and the two equally skilled Dou Technique made this battle just as exciting as, if not more so than, any of their previous encounters. It was truly spectacular. Moreover, the Mountain and River Seal that Xiao Yan ultimately unleashed was terrifyingly powerful. If it hadn't been withdrawn in the end, Xiao Feng would likely have been severely injured, if not killed.
After the battle ended, both of them were exhausted and unable to stand on the stage any longer, so they had to be taken back by others. The rest of the matter naturally fell on the shoulders of the elders on the stage, among whom Xiao Dingtian was the most frustrated.
Somewhere on the high platform, Xiao Shaojun and the curvaceous Xiao Siyu watched the scene unfold. Only after Xiao Yan and the other person were carried off the stage did the latter say calmly:
"If I remember correctly, Xiao Lei once said that in the battle with his brothers, Xiao Yan's final Dou Technique was Heavenly Flames resembling a lotus flower. He didn't use that move today."
"Hehe, everyone has their own trump cards. Unless it's a matter of life and death, who would reveal their true strength to others? But now that you mention it, I'm even more curious about him. Even you couldn't gain Huo Zhu's approval, yet you ended up following him."
Xiao Shaojun turned to look at the woman and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Siyu couldn't help but glare at the person in front of her, then her expression shifted, and she slowly said:
"I'm curious too, but let's wait and see. We'll find out sooner or later."
