NABC 310. Full Power Burst
310. Full Power Burst
Instead of being angry, Venerable Huangquan laughed as he looked at Xiao Yan. After releasing the three flames, Xiao Yan's strength had been forcibly raised to the peak of the One-Star Dou Zun realm through a secret technique. However, Xiao Yan had already used this move on the Wind and Thunder Mountains. Venerable Huangquan was indeed shocked when he first saw it, and after weighing his options, he didn't even dare to continue fighting Xiao Yan.
However, subsequent events made him keenly aware that Xiao Yan was definitely bluffing. While secret techniques could indeed enhance strength, most had significant side effects. Moreover, these techniques ultimately depleted his power; Xiao Yan, only a Dou Zong, couldn't withstand the Dou Qi of a Dou Zun.
Seeing Xiao Yan use this move again, Venerable Huangquan and Venerable Lei stopped. They were powerful figures who dominated their respective regions, and they couldn't possibly be frightened by Xiao Yan's same move.
"Boy, don't you have any new tricks up your sleeve?" Venerable Huangquan sneered.
In his eyes, Xiao Yan was now just a clown, and he was no longer in a hurry to capture him.
To the Yellow Springs Venerable's utter surprise, the so-called clown charged directly at him the next moment, followed by a punch accompanied by a wave of purplish-red flames. The Yellow Springs Venerable's protective battle aura didn't even have time to stop Xiao Yan for a single breath before it was shattered by Xiao Yan's attack.
Then there was the mighty Venerable Huangquan, who was sent flying hundreds of feet away by Xiao Yan's punch the very first moment they clashed!
The many powerful figures of the Yellow Springs Pavilion were stunned. With the combined forces of the three factions, the pressure on them wasn't great to begin with, so they also focused some of their attention on their own Pavilion Master. They all knew that their Pavilion Master and Xiao Yan had clashed on the Wind and Thunder Mountains, and they all believed that Xiao Yan had only gained a slight advantage due to his junior status. In a true, real battle, a junior like Xiao Yan was probably not even worthy of fighting their Pavilion Master!
But now they even unconsciously rubbed their eyes, preferring to believe they were seeing things. The Yellow Spring Venerable had actually suffered another defeat at Xiao Yan's hands in the most embarrassing way!
Wang Chen of Huangquan Pavilion saw Xiao Yan's figure in mid-air, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. He gritted his teeth and said, "What trick are you playing now?"
Wang Chen never believed that a fellow member of the Starfall Pavilion could be so much stronger than him, so he always believed that Xiao Yan was just a trick played by the Starfall Pavilion. But in just over ten days, Xiao Yan's strength had actually increased to the point where he could directly send his teacher flying?
Lei Zun Zhe was also startled. He realized that Xiao Yan's attack just now was not at the level of a fake Dou Zun at all; it was definitely the work of a genuine Dou Zun expert.
"This kid was hiding his strength back then?" Thunder Venerable exclaimed inwardly.
There was no time to verify the answer for him. The waves of fire, like several burning and surging fire dragons, swept towards Thunder Venerable!
"Hmph!" Venerable Lei snorted coldly. He was surprised by Xiao Yan's sudden increase in strength, but he would never be as arrogant as Venerable Huang Quan. In his opinion, Xiao Yan's strength was absolutely not enough to defeat Venerable Huang Quan in one blow. It was only because the latter was too arrogant and underestimated his opponent.
Lightning erupted from Thunder Venerable's hand, slashing towards the fire dragon released by Xiao Yan. In the instant the flames and lightning intertwined, Xiao Yan roared again, "Swallow!"
A black vortex bloomed in Xiao Yan's hand, emanating an ancient aura that seemed to devour the heavens and earth, even causing Lei Zun to momentarily lose his senses. Then, both the lightning and the flames were completely absorbed into the vortex in Xiao Yan's hand, leaving only an unfathomable void within, from which not a single ray of light leaked out.
"What the hell is this?!" Thunder Venerable didn't recall Xiao Yan displaying such a bizarre ability in the Wind and Thunder Mountains!
Xiao Yan showed no intention of giving Lei Zun a chance to breathe. The vortex blazed with light, and violent Dou Qi surged forth. This was the arm that had once borne the Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking. Even if only the residual devouring ability remained, it was still an absolute trump card!
Xiao Yan had no intention of continuing to entangle with his opponent; he only wanted to quickly vent his anger!
Thunder roared around Lei Zunzhe, dazzling lightning swirling around him, his eyes blazing with brilliant light. His aura surged, almost reaching the level of a four-star Dou Zun at the early stage!
Lightning formed a huge ball of lightning around him, almost completely neutralizing Xiao Yan's battle qi attack. However, the battle qi attack also gave Xiao Yan an opening to exploit. Xiao Yan's body disappeared from the spot, and his true form had arrived in front of Thunder Venerable!
Under the cover of lightning, an energy seal had already formed in Xiao Yan's hand, and an ancient and powerful aura emanated from it. Thunder Venerable was also taken aback when he saw the seal; it seemed somewhat familiar.
Then the light seal directly pierced through the lightning sphere! Emperor Seal Technique, Mountain-Splitting Seal!
Before leaving, Xun'er had warned Xiao Yan not to use the Emperor Seal Technique casually, as it might cause some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Xiao Yan did not use it again after arriving in Zhongzhou. He only used it now with the help of Lei Zunzhe's cover.
Since it's going to be used, there's no reason to only use it once. Xiao Yan's hand seals moved so fast that afterimages flew by, and then a small energy hand seal appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, which he then blasted down at Thunder Venerable!
The Imperial Seal Decree, Overturning the Sea Seal!
A beam of light shot from behind, aiming for Xiao Yan's neck. Huang Quan Venerable, being a genuine peak two-star Dou Zun, was naturally not going to be defeated by Xiao Yan in a single blow. He had already recovered and was waiting for an opportunity. And now, this was the perfect opportunity he had been waiting for!
The moment Xiao Yan ignited the crimson flames in his hand, the blade in Huang Quan Venerable's hand faltered, and his body began to burn on its own. Red Lotus Karmic Flame, Heart Flame Burning! This was a seed Xiao Yan had already planted, but for a Dou Zun expert, the effect of a single Heart Flame Burning was not as strong as it was now, hindering his attack.
An invisible energy was gathering and roaring above Xiao Yan's head, causing the space around him to shatter repeatedly. This was the soul power enhanced by the Soul Transference Technique, reaching a level comparable to a Dou Zun expert!
The Yellow Spring Venerable's pupils also shrank suddenly. His powerful soul force made his proud stealth impossible to hide. He felt that he had been completely locked onto by Xiao Yan's attack!
"I'll risk it all!" Dark-attribute battle qi erupted within the Yellow Spring Venerable's body. He then swung his two sharp blades in opposite directions, sending energy light blades, like shadowy crosses, toward Xiao Yan.
Then he saw Xiao Yan rushing up to him. A black vortex was swirling in Xiao Yan's right hand, emanating a terrifying attraction!
