263. Corpse decay in the Yellow Springs
With the strength of a Dou Zong, Xiao Yan has actually managed to injure a Dou Zun expert. Everything he has accomplished so far is enough to make him famous in Zhongzhou.
The question now is: can he withstand the subsequent retaliation from Venerable Huangquan? No one can remain calm after being humiliated like this by a junior, especially one as ruthless as Venerable Huangquan, one of the Four Venerables.
However, the mood of many spectators has changed. Unlike before when they were just watching for fun, most people now hope that Xiao Yan can leave safely today.
Hopefully, we can see him truly become famous throughout the Central Plains through this Four Directions Pavilion Conference. Many people still enjoy the story of his youthful spirit and carefree life.
Seeing Huang Quan Venerable's aura constantly rising in the arena, everyone secretly worried for Xiao Yan. The battle was likely to become increasingly fierce. A moment's carelessness could result in bloodshed!
Sword Venerable's expression turned somewhat serious: "Huang Quan is about to go berserk. Wind Venerable, are you not prepared to make a move?"
If Venerable Wind's intention was to use this conference to make his disciple famous, then the current situation has perfectly achieved that goal.
Next, Venerable Feng should have found a reason to protect his disciple, but Venerables Jian and Lei looked at Venerable Feng and he still showed no intention of making a move!
Venerable Wind simply smiled mysteriously and calmly and said, "Please sit down, both of you. This show is far from over."
At this moment, Venerable Feng's heart was not as calm as it appeared; he had truly begun to feel jealous of Elder Yao.
Even with the strength Xiao Yan has displayed so far, there's not a single flaw to be found. Moreover, Xiao Yan also possesses the hidden identity of a seventh-grade alchemist; among the younger generation of Zhongzhou, where can one find a match for him?
Moreover, Venerable Feng knew that Xiao Yan possessed three different kinds of strange flames, but he had never used them due to his status. How strong would Xiao Yan be in his prime? Could he truly rival a Dou Zun? Venerable Feng himself no longer had the answer.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was facing Venerable Huang Quan. Venerable Huang Quan was no longer in a hurry to launch an attack; he simply stood still, accumulating strength.
Everyone knew that Venerable Huang Quan's next attack would be earth-shattering!
After fighting Xiao Yan multiple times, he still suffered losses, which was unacceptable to Venerable Huangquan. He had to regain his lost face as soon as possible.
After Xiao Yan used the Fusion Form of the Heavenly Desolation Ruler for the first time, his internal Dou Qi was greatly depleted. Although the difference between an eight-star Dou Zun and a two-star Dou Zun may seem small, their actual strength is still worlds apart.
Just now, Xiao Yan had used his secret techniques, devouring abilities, fighting skills, and soul power in turn, and being able to injure Venerable Huang Quan was his biggest gain.
His only remaining trump card is the Fire Lotus, but once he uses it, the situation will be difficult to control. Secondly, the first time Jun Lin used the Heavenly Desolation Ruler, the burden it placed on Xiao Yan was considerable, and it's not suitable for him to forcibly use the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus now.
Xiao Yan also relaxed his body again. Facing a Dou Zun powerhouse, he had done enough to achieve this level.
Even though Xiao Yan wasn't making any move, Venerable Huangquan didn't dare to relax his guard in the slightest.
The two remained silent for a while, but as time passed, Venerable Huangquan grew increasingly impatient.
The last vestiges of his rationality were slowly being eroded. Xiao Yan's attack was indeed sharp, and he was still injured despite his heavy defenses. But this also meant that Xiao Yan, as a Dou Zong, would have to pay a heavy price to launch such an attack!
At the very least, his fighting spirit reserves are insufficient to support him in such high-intensity combat for an extended period.
All the signs at the scene indicated that Venerable Huangquan's guess was correct.
A hint of cruelty finally surfaced in his eyes. He no longer suppressed it, and a putrid aura emanated from his body, making anyone who even slightly sensed it want to vomit.
"The corpses of the dead are rotting in the underworld!"
A black figure split off directly from the body of Venerable Huangquan. The figure that appeared was seven parts similar to Venerable Huangquan, but its whole body was gray.
At this moment, the figure smiled strangely at Xiao Yan's position, and then, as if teleporting, arrived directly in front of Xiao Yan.
Seeing this bizarre scene, Xiao Yan instinctively knew something was wrong, and his fighting spirit surged forth as he tried to quickly leave the area. To his surprise, the gray figure expanded violently as if being inflated, and then exploded.
The stench of death and decay quickly spread from the center, completely enveloping Xiao Yan.
However, when Venerable Huangquan's intervention proved effective, he secretly realized something was wrong.
Because of the intense fight between the two, he was also gathering his strength in place, so his attack this time was definitely more terrifying than all his previous attacks.
If it were a casual attack, Venerable Feng could have stopped it. But after preparing for so long, even a four-star Dou Zun like Venerable Feng couldn't completely block the attack in such a rush. He was extremely confident that he could severely injure the person before him.
However, Venerable Huangquan did not really intend to kill Xiao Yan directly. Although he hated Xiao Yan to the bone, killing him in public would inevitably cause a costly fight between the two pavilions.
It's no wonder that Venerable Feng would go mad if such a talented person died by his own hand.
However, if Xiao Yan is only injured, then considering the cause and effect, Venerable Feng will have no choice but to accept this loss.
He hadn't expected that Venerable Wind would remain completely inactive! In that case, this genius from the Starfall Pavilion might very well die at his hands.
On the stands, Sword Venerable's eyebrows twitched twice, and when he looked at Wind Venerable, the latter remained calmly seated in his position.
They all knew perfectly well that the Yellow Spring Corpse Rot was one of the Yellow Spring Venerable's most treasured skills, and even they dared not treat it lightly.
While Sword Venerable and Thunder Venerable could disregard Xiao Yan's life or death, Yellow Spring Venerable could only rush forward again, secretly hoping that Xiao Yan could still survive.
Most of his outbursts were three parts real and seven parts fake; he didn't want to face a truly insane four-star Dou Zun.
Then, a powerful aura emanated from the center of the explosion, and the surrounding space seemed to be compressed by an invisible force, making the air heavy.
An aura completely different from that of Venerable Huangquan spread like a tide, forcing everyone's internal fighting spirit to slow down.
Lei Zun and Jian Zun could no longer sit still; they both stared intently at the center of the putrid aura.
The two exclaimed in unison, "Battle Master!"
