Chapter 79: New Dou Technique, Lotuses Bloom with Every Step!
Unlike what Nalan Yanran, who was watching the battle from behind, perceived, Xiao Yan's hands, which were gripping the Heavy Xuan Ruler tightly, had been nearly numbed by the shock as early as the first collision. But in order to obtain the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, he could not just give up like this; he didn't stop after one strike and immediately slashed down several more times.
On the other side, the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger, which was clashing head-on with Xiao Yan's Earth-tier Dou Technique, was also having a hard time. In just the first move, a ruler mark had been left on its pride and joy, the golden horn. Facing the several strikes that Xiao Yan slashed over immediately after, the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger quickly changed its horn into claws, using its left and right tiger claws in turn to receive Xiao Yan's attacks.
After the massive power spiraled out of control, although the man and the tiger were once again entangled in battle, they both held back some power compared to before, clearly saving their strength, waiting for the other to reveal a flaw.
This can't go on! The Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger was the first to realize this. Relying on its speed advantage of being able to transform its body into lightning, the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger moved rapidly, attempting to drag Xiao Yan into a mobile battle it was more adept at.
As it turned out, Xiao Yan was not to be outdone; the cyan-red flames exploded again and again under his feet, greatly increasing Xiao Yan's speed. This was a small technique Xiao Yan had created himself; it didn't count as a proper Dou Technique, and its inspiration came from the movement Dou Technique "Explosive Steps" that Yun Yun had given him in the original work.

Although the Dou Technique itself was not very presentable, because it used Heavenly Flame, the effect was not bad at all—simple, brutal, but effective! It had no other shortcomings except for the fact that he lost a pair of shoes every time he used it.
The man and the tiger moved rapidly within a radius of several miles. The blast winds generated by their repeated collisions destroyed all the mountain rocks and trees along the way, gradually revealing the bare gravel and soil.
The Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger was somewhat surprised that Xiao Yan could actually keep up with its speed, but it no longer felt the anxiety it had at the beginning.
Through the collisions during this period, it had also gradually figured out Xiao Yan's strength.
Although Xiao Yan had erupted with attack power not inferior to its own under the enhancement of the Heavenly Flame and Dou Technique, his disadvantage of low cultivation was being exposed bit by bit; its soul, which was far stronger than its peers in the outside world, allowed it to sense this very clearly.
Hmph! Even if you are fierce now, what's the use? When your Dou Qi is exhausted in a moment, let's see how I tear you apart alive! The Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger thought sinisterly, and a cruel smile could not help but appear at the corners of its mouth.
Xiao Yan was naturally aware that his Dou Qi would be exhausted faster, but his strongest Dou Technique currently could not suppress this magical beast before him, and as for the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus—
Xiao Yan glanced at the Yin-Yang Dual Flames not far away and had no intention of using it at all, because that would blow both himself and Nalan Yanran to the Western Heaven!
And so, just as the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger thought, Xiao Yan gradually revealed an anxious expression, and his movements in wielding the Heavy Xuan Ruler became somewhat flustered. But hidden beneath all this, the Heavenly Flame that had been exploding under Xiao Yan's feet gradually underwent some unusual changes.
Time passed second by second. The magical beasts within dozens of miles, after sensing the battle between the man and the tiger, all retreated a considerable distance, watching from afar. Even Nalan Yanran quietly moved back quite a bit to avoid being implicated by the aftermath of the battle between Xiao Yan and the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger.
The land within several miles had been completely plowed over by the two. The Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger estimated that Xiao Yan's Dou Qi should be almost exhausted, so it quickly increased the intensity of its attacks.
"Haha, you freak, kid, you are finished!" The Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger felt that victory was already in its grasp and laughed mockingly and arrogantly.
"Is that so?" Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. One could see that the exploding fireballs that had been continuous on the soles of his two feet suddenly changed, and in their place were lotus flowers, one after another!
This was not something Xiao Yan had created just for looks; these were fire lotuses that could draw upon the energy of the earth fire!
After these lotus flowers appeared, Xiao Yan, whose aura had been continuously declining, immediately had his momentum surge. The moment each step fell, a new lotus flower would generate and bloom under Xiao Yan's feet. The massive earth fire energy flowed into Xiao Yan's body through the fire lotus in the blink of an eye, and then exploded rapidly the moment Xiao Yan lifted his foot, turning into the driving force for Xiao Yan's advance!
"What the hell is this?" This scene, which exceeded common sense, forced the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger, which had originally been stuttering, to speak much more fluently.
Seeing the damned fire lotuses rapidly replenishing Xiao Yan's power, the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger dared not run anymore and stopped immediately.
But the fire lotuses under Xiao Yan's feet did not disappear because his footsteps had stopped; instead, they formed a larger fire lotus under Xiao Yan's feet, causing Xiao Yan's aura to grow further.
Facing the Golden-Horned Thunder Tiger's astonished gaze, a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth: "Don't you think it's easier to condense fire lotuses while standing still?"
As early as when he was at the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan had the idea of creating a Dou Technique that could draw upon earth fire energy to enhance himself. After so many days had passed, the many days of pondering finally erupted with dazzling brilliance today!
