Gu Yao and Xiao Yan were both facing a powerful attack unleashed by their opponent. The onlookers, besides being ready to come to their rescue at any moment, all shared the same question: between Xiao Yan and Gu Yao, who was stronger?
Gu Yao is a prodigy nurtured by the ancient clan, a renowned Asura Commander of the Black Ice Army, and a future pillar of the ancient clan! Xiao Yan is an absolute dark horse from the Northwest Region, who recently personally killed Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, impressing many elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan with his performance. Now, Xiao Yan has the Starfall Pavilion and the entire Heavenly Phoenix Clan standing behind him. It's impossible to judge who is stronger without seeing the outcome of their battle.
At first, many people thought that Gu Yao, already a four-star Dou Zun, and Xiao Yan, only a nine-star Dou Zong, would be able to achieve victory due to the difference in their raw strength. However, once Xiao Yan unleashed his Four-Colored Fire Lotus, no one dared to definitively say that Xiao Yan would defeat Gu Yao.
At this moment, the vortex in front of Xiao Yan seemed to be about to completely devour the Ancient Demon's finger. The black light representing annihilation seemed unable to escape the attraction of Xiao Yan's devouring ability. However, besides the energy, the Ancient Demon's finger also contained a simple and direct powerful force! Although the four-colored flame pillars were extremely hot, they also continuously emitted water mist after colliding with the cyan-black tortoise shell released by the Ancient Demon.
A draw?
A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Golden flames roared within the four-colored pillars of light, and the seemingly impregnable dark blue-green Dou Qi tortoise shell began to burn, accompanied by a hollow howl. Then, crimson flames surged into the tortoise shell. Gu Yao stared at the crimson Lotus Karmic Flame before him, his heart filled with disbelief: Could he really be no match for Xiao Yan?
Then, the crimson sea of fire engulfed him completely, while the azure and blue flames continued their relentless advance, encircling the ancient demon. The terrifying heat of these strange flames meant that even drying someone out wouldn't be a difficult task. At this moment, the ancient demon's battle qi was severely depleted; seeing the surging, dazzling flames, he was momentarily stunned, unable to react. Fortunately, the three figures arrived beside him almost instantly.
However, the residual power of the Ancient Demon's Finger was still too strong. Although the beam of light containing death energy was absorbed by the Devouring Power, Xiao Yan still could not completely control the residual power of the Heaven-Rank Battle Technique. He was directly knocked back and sent flying. A bloody and sweet feeling rushed up in Xiao Yan's throat, but he still managed to forcefully suppress it.
On the other side, the two elders of the ancient clan and Mu Que simultaneously brought Xiao Yan's sea of fire under control, and easily pulled Gu Yao out of the inferno. Apart from his somewhat tattered clothes, Gu Yao was not seriously injured, as the onlookers were all focused on him and did not subject him to too much burning pain.
However, at this moment, Gu Yao's proud eyes were filled with resentment. Xiao Yan stood in mid-air, looking at Gu Yao from afar without saying a word, but Xiao Yan's firm gaze had already said everything: Gu Yao had lost!
"Xiao Yan, you actually let Xun'er help you, you don't even have the courage to fight me fairly, despicable!" Although Gu Yao did not have fire-attribute fighting spirit, his eyes seemed to burn at this moment. It was his extreme unwillingness to lose to Xiao Yan, and even more so, his heart-wrenching jealousy that Xun'er helped Xiao Yan!
At this moment, Xiao Yan stood against the wind, his body as straight as a black spear! Looking at the unconvinced Gu Yao, Xiao Yan laughed heartily: "Fairness? You dare talk to me about fairness?"
"I come from the Xiao family of Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire. The strongest member of my family is only a Great Dou Master. You were born into an ancient clan, which has never lacked Dou Zun or Dou Sheng experts. Is that fair?"
"I left home at eighteen and have struggled to get to where I am today. I've faced life-or-death crises several times. Growing up in an ancient clan, you've probably never lacked the protection of your elders. Life-or-death crises are just a distant concept for you. Is that fair?"
"You're using your clan's Heavenly Rank combat technique to try and decide the outcome of our battle in one move, hoping to crush me with your superior skill. Is that fair?"
"You provoked me into a battle with your Dou Zun strength, but my true strength is only a nine-star Dou Zong. Gu Yao, tell me, is this fair?"
Xiao Yan continued to ask questions, leaving Gu Yao speechless for a moment. He found himself unable to refute Xiao Yan's words. Xiao Yan pointed directly at Gu Yao and said loudly, "Are the so-called geniuses of the ancient clans simply those who feel entitled when things are going their way, but cry foul when things are going their way?"
"Ancient demon!" Xiao Yan sneered. "If you didn't have the identity of an ancient clan, do you think you could leave Starfall Pavilion alive today?"
At this moment, Gu Yao was also blushing with embarrassment after hearing Xiao Yan's words. His pride could no longer be contained, and he broke free from the support of the Gu Clan elders, coming to stand before Xiao Yan. Gu Yao's teeth were grinding together, his eyes fixed intently on Xiao Yan!
"Alright, alright, Xiao Yan, right? I'll remember you!"
"Being born into an ancient clan is an advantage in itself. Even if you feel it's unfair, you'd better keep it to yourself! I'll be waiting for you in the ancient clan, and then I'll show you what utter defeat is. I will personally end your life!"
Xiao Yan's eyes remained unmoved as he coldly stated, "The situation will not change next time we meet!"
Gu Yao was exceptionally proud, and Xiao Yan was equally proud deep down. His strength, which he had accumulated over so many years, was the source of his pride! He believed that in another two or three years, he would definitely be able to defeat Gu Yao with his own strength, and at that time he would prove that he was the one most worthy of Xun'er!
Xun'er then came to Xiao Yan's side, her jade-like hand gently taking his large hand and channeling streams of golden Dou Qi into his severely depleted body. Xiao Yan smiled at Xun'er in front of him, his free hand lightly stroking her hair.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I have to leave again soon." Xun'er's eyes were full of affection for Xiao Yan. After transferring her Dou Qi, she gently tidied up Xiao Yan's clothes, which were a little messy from the fierce battle.
Xiao Yan gently pulled Xun'er into his arms. Xun'er sensed the different nature of Xiao Yan's embrace and obediently returned the hug. At this moment, her love surpassed everything, and shyness could no longer restrain Xun'er's actions.
"Xun'er, when can I go to the Ancient Clan?" Xiao Yan finally asked seriously.
Xun'er smiled sweetly: "As long as you miss me, you can!"
