Chapter 127: The Ruthless Xiao Yan

"So fast!" Nalan Yanran's gaze contracted—Xiao Yan's speed was absurdly fast! Even she, with her full-powered wind-attribute Dou Qi burst, couldn't match Xiao Yan's speed!

"Ah!" Mo Cheng had no time to react at all. A miserable scream rang out, and the crack-crack of shattering bones was piercingly sharp. Everyone couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end—without a doubt, Xiao Yan's heavy punch had shattered Mo Cheng's nasal bone!

The sound of shattering bones made everyone shiver involuntarily. Mo Cheng, at the Five Star Dou Ling realm, had his nasal bone shattered by a single punch from Xiao Yan, a Three Star Great Dou Shi!

Who would believe it if you told them!

"His body's strength is terrifying!" Ge Ye noticed the key point. Xiao Yan's punch just now wasn't only the power of the Mad Lion Chant Dou Technique, but also relied on the most basic physical strength. Dou Technique combined with a powerful body—that was what created that terrifying punch's power.

"The blood-red flame appearing on his body is very special; it can enhance physical quality." Nalan Yanran narrowed her eyes. Worthy of being Yun Yun's Qin Zi Chuan Di Zi, having followed Yun Yun for several years, her eye for such things was decent.

At a glance she saw that the blood-red flame Xiao Yan had used to instantly kill Mo Li and now to deal with Mo Cheng was the key—it could enhance Xiao Yan's physical strength!

"Could it be a Strange Flame? I heard from my father that Xiao Yan is still a First-Rank Alchemist." Nalan Yanran muttered to herself.

"It can't be a Strange Flame. Even Elder Gu He, a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, hasn't been able to obtain one—how could a First-Rank Alchemist like him possibly have one?" Ge Ye shook his head. He simply couldn't believe Xiao Yan could possess a Strange Flame that even Gu He didn't have; he only guessed it was some kind of special fire seed.

He'd rather believe Xiao Yan was born with divine strength than believe Xiao Yan possessed a Strange Flame.

With several cracking sounds, Mo Cheng slowly stood up with a ferocious expression. He twisted his crooked nose, and the nose actually recovered to its original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Without a doubt, Mo Cheng had indeed transplanted parts of some magical beasts onto his own body, making his body's recovery ability astonishing.

"That little force of yours is useless against me! Green Wind Claw!" Mo Cheng transformed into a gust of fierce wind and surged upward, Dou Qi raging wildly. His right hand actually materialized into a giant wind claw, intending to pierce through Xiao Yan's chest in one strike.

The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth lifted. Instead of retreating, he advanced. His right fist clenched tight, the muscles on his arm instantly turning ferocious, and he roared inwardly: "Eight Extreme Collapse—Ten Thousand Beasts Collapse Fist!"

Mo Cheng was, after all, a Five Star Dou Ling powerhouse, his Cultivation Realm a full major rank above Xiao Yan's. The moment a Dou Ling powerhouse struck, his Spiritual Pressure surged boundlessly, and the entire Hall was filled with a powerful Dou Qi.

But Xiao Yan, empowered by the force of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spiritual Flame, was by no means an ordinary Great Dou Shi either. Especially when Refining the Ten Thousand Beasts Spiritual Flame, with the help of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger he borrowed the Ten Thousand Beasts Spiritual Flame to temper his body, making his physique extraordinarily powerful.

With a bang, Xiao Yan's fist collided heavily with Mo Cheng's wind claw, and the terrifying blast of force swept through the entire Hall.

Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes. Back when his strength was only Two Star Dou Ling, he had once battled Xiao Yan. Although he hadn't used his full power that time, he had after all once been a Dou Huang—his strength wouldn't be beneath Five Star Dou Ling. Now that Xiao Yan's strength had grown once more, Mo Cheng was absolutely no match for Xiao Yan.

"So strong! He's actually evenly matched with the Grand Elder?!"

Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh. He had nearly cultivated the Eight Extreme Collapse to Great Completion, its power comparable to an Earth Class Dou Technique. Combined with the empowerment of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spiritual Flame, even an opponent a full major Rank above him in Cultivation Realm wouldn't be enough!

"Hidden force—explode!"

Roar-roar-roar!! The howls of ten thousand beasts burst forth from the fist, blood-red flames erupting instantly, drowning out the wind-attribute energy. A tiger beast opened its bloody maw and swallowed the giant wind claw whole!

Eight explosive booms—Mo Cheng was sent flying by a single punch! His entire body had the powerful force transmitted into it, and he wildly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Grand Elder!!"

"Impossible! Mo Cheng actually lost to a Great Dou Shi youngster!!!"

Thud-thud-thud!! Mo Cheng retreated wildly several steps, his entire right hand gone. The Ten Thousand Beasts Spiritual Flame had burned away the SpiritFlesh, and the hidden force of the Eight Extreme Collapse had even shattered his bones!

A body fused with the Ten Thousand Beasts Spiritual Flame had even evolved the Eight Extreme Collapse Dou Technique once more! The current Eight Extreme Collapse was no longer simply comparable to an entry-level Earth Class Dou Technique—it was fully equivalent to an Earth Class Dou Technique!

There was an insurmountable gulf between a mere Heavenly Grade Mid Rank Dou Technique and an Earth Class Dou Technique!

Beside them, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment, her face full of disbelief.

"Earth Class..." Without a doubt, she had seen it too—the power of the Dou Technique Xiao Yan had just displayed was absolutely at Earth Class!

Earth Class Dou Techniques possessed exactly this kind of magic: they could even smooth out the gap in Cultivation Realm. Your Cultivation Realm is higher than mine, but my Dou Technique is stronger than yours!

Yun Potian had of course left Earth Class Dou Techniques behind for Yun Lan Sect, and Nalan Yanran also had the qualifications to cultivate them. But being able to cultivate and truly mastering them were two entirely different matters. She had now only just learned the prerequisite moves of the Earth Class Dou Technique—equivalent to entry level. She was still very, very far from Minor Completion.

Originally Nalan Yanran had thought that possessing an Earth Class Dou Technique would definitely allow her to defeat Xiao Yan, but it turned out he knew one too.

"Just how did he cultivate during these three years!"

Mo Cheng gritted his teeth fiercely, took out a bottle of magical beast fresh blood from his Na Ring and poured it on his severed arm. A piercing, bone-chilling pain drilled into his heart. The next second, Mo Cheng's severed arm actually regenerated, and another arm grew out.

However, this arm was covered in pitch-black scales, four or five times thicker than a normal arm, and its five fingers looked more like sharp claws.

"The arm of a Fourth Rank magical beast, the Black Armor Dragon. This kind of Fierce Beast possesses the ability to regenerate severed limbs through blood-sucking. You transplanted the Black Armor Dragon's arm and exotic bone onto your own arm." Xiao Yan, worthy of having thoroughly read all kinds of books in the Na Ring, recognized at a glance what kind of magical beast Mo Cheng's arm came from.

"Hehehe, you know quite a lot." Mo Cheng didn't deny it. With a tearing sound, eight grayish-white bone spears suddenly grew from his back, swaying in the air like spider legs.

"Ash Bone Spider legs, Iron-Back Crocodile carapace, Wind Steed Bull ears—you really have remodeled yourself into something neither fully human nor fully beast." Shaking his head, Xiao Yan looked at Mo Cheng's appearance with utter disgust.

At this moment, everyone present shuddered inwardly—whether they were people from the other families of Yan City or other Disciples of the Mo Family, they all felt a chill run through their hearts.

Seeing Mo Cheng in this state, they couldn't help but wonder internally—is this still a person?

"Hahaha, with these magical beast exotic bones, I, Mo Cheng, am unkillable!" Mo Cheng's voice had even become hoarse.

"Unkillable? Your brain must be fried. Haven't these magical beasts all died?" Xiao Yan didn't want to waste words with this monster. The Mad Lion Chant erupted with Xue Nuo, and he stepped forward.

"Kill!" Mo Cheng let out a sharp roar, no longer saying more. With a long howl, he brandished his various magical beast parts and lunged at Xiao Yan.

The corner of his mouth lifting, Xiao Yan's gaze sharpened. When dealing with magical beasts, he had a good method.

"Soul Shock!"

The Soul Force of a Fifth-Rank Alchemist burst forth from his body. With a boom that exploded in Mo Cheng's mind, his vision instantly went white and he lost control of his entire body.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yan's body appeared behind Mo Cheng. He grabbed one of the bone spears on Mo Cheng's back and stomped on his back. With a series of cracking sounds, Xiao Yan actually pulled the bone spears out of Mo Cheng's back directly!

"Aaaahhh!!!" Mo Cheng's miserable screams echoed throughout the entire Hall.
