Chapter 1035

"Xiao Yan, you want to take Xun'er away, then today I will, on behalf of the clan's Elder, see just what strength you really have!"

Looking at Xiao Yan opposite him, Gu Yao let out a cold shout, and at the moment the last syllable fell, the sky ahead suddenly turned icy.

His black-and-white dual-colored hair suddenly fluttered without wind!

At the same time, Gu Yao's figure, like a ghost, instantly vanished from its spot.

And at the instant Gu Yao's figure disappeared, Xiao Yan's face opposite him was completely overtaken by solemnity.

This time his opponent is three minor levels above him.

Moreover, the opponent is a genius of the Ancient Clan, surely not lacking high-level combat techniques.

If he is overconfident and careless, the outcome will probably be extremely miserable!

Because Xiao Yan knows clearly, if he today loses to Gu Yao, then he will not be able to walk out of the Ancient Clan intact today.

However, although Xiao Yan has repeatedly suffered losses at Lin Feng's hands, he is also no ordinary person.

Looking at the swiftly approaching Gu Yao opposite him, he clenched his fists, and his fighting qi surged out unreservedly at this moment.

In an instant, all of Xiao Yan's bones crackled with the surge of fighting qi.

At the same time, he shouted: "I walked out of the Jia Ma Empire; in these ten years, I have roamed the continent, encountered countless foes, hovered between life and death an unknown number of times. What I have paid is countless times more than what you, so-called genius, have."

Although I lack the Dou Emperor's bloodline, you, a waste who relies solely on bloodline, if you want to abolish me, you must be prepared to pay a price of blood!

As his words fell, the vast fighting qi, carrying a scorching gust, caused the temperature around, which had been lowered by Gu Yao's icy aura, to rise again.

As the shout fell, yellow flame fighting qi rapidly condensed on Xiao Yan's right fist.

Then his right arm jerked strangely, bringing up an extraordinarily strong gust, and without flourish he slammed it straight at the space before him.

However, just as Xiao Yan was about to strike, a slender hand suddenly protruded from the void.

Then that hand brought forth a keen, blade-like force, striking Xiao Yan's right fist with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

Upon contact, a terrifying shockwave of force burst out instantly, and wide cracks several zhang across spread rapidly across the floor beneath their feet.

At the same time, the powerful gust swept everywhere, shattering some stone slabs on the square directly into dust!

And after Gu Yao caught the previous fist, he immediately sneered: "You have endured many hardships, so what? I bear the most noble Dou Emperor bloodline of heaven and earth, the cultivation methods and combat techniques I practice are all true transmissions of the Ancient Clan, and my fighting qi cultivation far surpasses yours. And you, a scion of the declining Xiao Clan, what right do you have to contend with me?"

"Boom!"

At the same instant that the cold shout fell, the scorching force on Xiao Yan's fist suddenly condensed, and then dark gray chunks of cold ice, followed by a suddenly arising chill, continually appeared in this heaven and earth.

And under the cover of this extreme cold aura, Xiao Yan felt that the temperature of his strange fire was also affected in many ways.

"Mr. Lin Feng, who do you think has a greater chance of winning between these two?"

Just as the two fighters exchanged techniques back and forth in the sky above the platform, Huo Zhi, sitting in the row before Lin Feng, suddenly turned around and began to ask.

"Hehe, I actually hope Xiao Yan isn't killed so quickly, otherwise our later entry into the Tian Mu would be boring."

As the former's words fell, Hun Ya, sitting not far beside Huo Zhi, suddenly opened his mouth with a sinister laugh.

And looking at the former's appearance, it was obvious he didn't regard Xiao Yan at all.

Seeing this, Lin Feng helplessly shook his head and then said: "Then it depends on whether Gu Yao is willing to lower his pride. If Xiao Yan does not use the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Change and just fights Gu Yao like this, Gu Yao will surely win."

"But if Xiao Yan uses the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Change and Gu Yao does not employ any means to quickly boost his strength, then I feel Xiao Yan will win."

Having said that, Lin Feng immediately narrowed his eyes, scanning the sky above, and added: "After all, Xiao Yan is no pushover. He certainly has some high-level combat techniques. Moreover, his cultivation method is also of the same heavenly rank, and with the aid of his strange fire, Xiao Yan might actually be able to defeat Gu Yao."

"Oh, Mr. Lin Feng, aren't you enemies with Xiao Yan? How come you're starting to speak up for him?"

Upon hearing the former's words, the pretty face hidden beneath Huo Zhi's veil immediately broke into a smile, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

And Lin Feng shook his head, then chuckled lightly: "Precisely because I am enemies with him, I must view him objectively, without mixing in other factors, neither arrogant nor rash. Otherwise, that would be courting death!"

Upon hearing that, Huo Zhi lightly nodded, indicating agreement with the former's words.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin Feng, you overthink it. Xiao Yan is merely a descendant of the Xiao Clan that our Soul Clan once beat to the point of losing direction. And our Soul Clan back then could beat his ancestors to the point of doubting life. This time, we can do the same!"

As the former's words fell, Hun Ya beside Huo Zhi immediately burst into laughter laced with killing intent.

At the same time, Xiao Yan in the distance also used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Change, his power surging violently to a level comparable to Gu Yao's.

Seeing that, Gu Yao, after furrowing his brow, unable to lower his face, could only abandon the secret technique and continue fighting Xiao Yan.

As for Xiao Yan, he continued to launch fierce attacks with a grin, causing Gu Yao to begin feeling strained.

At the same time, Lin Feng, seeing Hun Ya's contempt for Xiao Yan, reminded: "Mr. Hun Ya, don't underestimate the Xiao Clan; although they may fall short of your Soul Clan, Xiao Yan has an outstanding ancestor."

"If the opponent enters the Tian Mu and sees the Xiao Clan's last patriarch, Xiao Xuan, hehe, then perhaps within the entire Tian Mu, whoever he wants dead will die."

"This"

Upon hearing the former's reminder, the smile on Hun Ya's face vanished immediately, his brows slightly furrowed, and he began to hesitate.

After all, what Lin Feng said made perfect sense; in the outside world, Xiao Yan cannot compare to his background.

But if one reaches the Tian Mu, the situation undergoes a complete 180-degree turn.

Although his Soul Clan also has some forefathers buried in the Tian Mu.

But those forefathers' strength in life was evidently inferior to that of their clan leader Xiao Xuan, whom they all greatly feared.

If they were to enter the Tian Mu thus arrogantly, then if Xiao Xuan takes offense at their Soul Clan members bullying the Xiao Clan's sole genius before him,

then he and Hun Li, these two Soul Clan individuals entering the Tian Mu, would be in danger.

"No, if it truly is as Lin Feng said—that Xiao Yan defeats Gu Yao and gains the qualification to enter the Tian Mu—then we must act more discreetly. After all, Xiao Xuan previously did not interfere with our Soul Clan's people entering the Tian Mu, so it's not guaranteed that he would stand by and watch me bully the Xiao Clan's sole genius."

Thinking of this, not only Hun Ya, but also Hun Li beside the former, began to feel uneasy in his heart.

And Lin Feng, seeing that the two ahead had prepared themselves mentally, gave a faint smile and said no more.

After all, his kind reminder to Hun Ya and Hun Li was entirely to prevent them from dying too quickly, so they could continue to oppose Xiao Yan while alive.

And now that the plan has succeeded, it is naturally time for him to retire after achieving his goal.

However, that fire youngster, upon seeing that Lin Feng knew of Tian Mu, immediately felt a little curious.

As for that thing, people outside the ancient seven clans basically don't know that Tian Mu exists.

However, I didn't expect that, judging from Lin Feng's tone, it was obvious he knew very well what this thing does.

Quick, look! Xiao Yan actually summoned five kinds of strange fire!

Just as Huo Zhi felt puzzled in his heart, the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into exclamations.

Whoosh!

Lin Feng, Huo Zhi, Hun Ya, and others heard the movements of the people around them; instantly they gave up continuing the talk and turned their gaze toward the distant sky.

Immediately afterward, they saw Xiao Yan staring intently at the space in front of him.

In the sky before him, the five strange flames—Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Volcanic Stone Flame, Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, and Bone Spirit Cold Flame—appeared simultaneously and, under Xiao Yan's strong pressure, began to slowly merge.

At the same time, he frantically tapped his feet in the air to dodge Gu Yao's attacks.

However, the latter was also not stupid; upon seeing the five Strange Flames before Xiao Yan merging more and more smoothly, he immediately gave up pursuing Xiao Yan.

He stopped his body; the black mist filled with the aura of annihilation then surged out wildly from inside his body.

Huh, Xiao Yan's movements—could he also be trying to learn like Lin Feng, merging multiple strange fires into a fire lotus?

Looking at Xiao Yan's movements in the sky, some spectators who knew Lin Feng had once used a battle skill that merged multiple strange fires into a fire lotus exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng gazed at the distant sky, saw Xiao Yan's actions, and lightly stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "So Xiao Yan has finally learned this battle skill, huh? Well, it doesn't matter anyway—once I absorb that Nine Nether Gold Ancestor Flame, my strength will increase tremendously."

"By then, I won't believe that Xiao Yan can still catch up to me."

Thinking this, Lin Feng tilted his head slightly, leaned fully back in his chair, and gazed with interest at the sky where Gu Yao and Xiao Yan were.

"Go!"

At the same time, Xiao Yan, who had condensed a five-colored fire lotus, grasped the lotus emanating a strong aura of destruction and hurled it forcefully at Gu Yao.

Moreover, the latter was also not willing to be outdone; he immediately pointed his finger, and a black energy finger, slightly smaller than the previous Gu Qingyang's, shot out from the black clouds and fiercely jabbed at Xiao Yan.

Accompanying their movements, the fire lotus burning with five kinds of strange fire in the sky and the finger filled with an aura of annihilation silently streaked across the horizon, finally colliding violently.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the five-colored fire lotus exploded without warning, releasing a tremendous roar.

At the same time, the large amount of Strange Fire compressed within it all exploded out in an instant.

It turned into a towering wave of fire that swept through the entire space inside the spatial barrier set up by the three ancient clan elders.

Even those splendid fire waves were only about ten meters away from the guests in the front row of the VIP seats.

If it weren't for the three ancient clan elders having set up the spatial barrier in advance, these guests would have had to personally fend off those fire waves.

Nevertheless, even so, the younger generation of various ancient races in the front row were also frightened quite a bit.

At the same time, the finger filled with an aura of annihilation in the sky was instantly blown apart into countless black specks of light, which slowly dissipated.

"Pfft!"

But soon, Xiao Yan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood without any warning, and then his entire aura instantly waned.

Immediately afterward, the former's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

And Xiao Yan's unconscious body, like a bird with broken wings, fell straight down into the sea of fire below.

However, the figure of Gu Yao opposite was, amidst the raging colorful fire waves, completely swallowed and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"Xiao Yan brother is injured—quickly open the spatial barrier; he is a guest of our ancient clan, we cannot allow any mistake!"

Seeing Xiao Yan vomit blood, Gu Xun'er's heart tightened instantly, and she quickly rose to say to the three elders:

"Miss, please wait a moment; once the fire waves inside subside, we will immediately lift the barrier. Moreover, Gu Yao is also inside, so we are not in a rush either."

In response to their lady's request, the three elders exchanged glances, and one immediately stepped forward to explain:

"That's different—Gu Yao can..."

The anxious Gu Xun'er stopped mid-sentence, seeming to realize her words were inappropriate, and immediately ceased speaking.

After rephrasing her words, she exclaimed: "Whether it's Xiao Yan brother or Gu Yao, they are both important people—how could we just watch from outside? To be safe, we should pull both of them out."

"As for those fire waves, we'll just let them slowly dissipate inside the barrier."

"Um, then we'll follow the miss's orders."

Considering that Gu Yao is an eight-grade bloodline genius of their clan, the three elders thought for a moment and then agreed with the former's suggestion.

Thinking of this, the Elder in front who was responsible for shouting immediately darted forward, swiftly passing through the barrier and entering the five-colored sea of fire, disappearing before everyone's eyes.

"Whoosh!"

However, soon the former's figure reappeared, and, passing through the spatial barrier, brought out a young man clad in shattered armor, his whole body pitch black.

After Su Zi and the others observed carefully, they realized that this person was none other than the previously imposing Gu Yao.

However, he now looks extremely embarrassed, with none of his former might remaining.
