Chapter 117: We, the Yun Lan Sect's Elites
At the moment when this Dou Ling shouted, the other two Dou Ling also charged toward Xiao Yan simultaneously.
There was no need for this Dou Ling to warn them; the moment Xiao Yan displayed that speed, the two were already stunned. Not to mention that he had even repelled one of their own!
Who could do something like that? If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought it was pure nonsense!
Although they didn't understand why Xiao Yan possessed such extraordinary speed and power, considering that he was only a Dou Shi right now, if they allowed him to continue growing, the consequences would be unimaginable! He had to be eliminated before he could grow any further!
Today, he must die here!!!
(Xiao Yan! Dodge quickly!)
Yao Chen immediately ordered in his mind, and Xiao Yan swiftly moved backward, evading the sudden attack from the two Dou Ling. As they refocused their attention on Xiao Yan, Yao Chen issued another command.
(Use the Lion Tiger Gold Shattering Roar!!!)
Lion Tiger Gold Shattering Roar! A high-level sound wave Dou Technique of the Xuan Class that Xiao Yan had learned from Yao Chen.
Over the past two months, Xiao Yan had gained more than just the Purple Flame from the Crystal Wing Lion King. He had also spent several days learning this sound wave Dou Technique, which contained the anger-filled roar of the Crystal Wing Lion King!
Roar!!!
A thunderous, soul-shaking sound wave erupted from Xiao Yan's mouth, sweeping toward the three Dou Ling. It caused their hearts to feel as if struck by a heavy blow, and their consciousness momentarily became blurred!
Yao Chen would not let such a golden opportunity go to waste!
(Go, Xiao Yan! Press the advantage! Use the Purple Flame Vortex!!!)
(Huh?)
Xiao Yan, who had been focused on awaiting Yao Chen's orders, suddenly froze, his face twitching awkwardly.
(Um… Senior Yao, what exactly is the Purple Flame Vortex?)
Hearing this, Yao Chen immediately rolled her eyes.
"We were in the middle of a good fight, and you suddenly ask about this?!"
(Idiot! Only know the Dou Techniques you've learned, right?) Yao Chen scolded him, (Just throw your Purple Flame in a vortex shape, and it'll work!)
(Oh right!)
Xiao Yan suddenly realized, and then immediately rose to his feet, grabbing his wrist with one hand and turning the other hand into a claw. Violent purple flames surged from his palm and quickly reached their peak.
(Once more! Go, Xiao Yan! Press the advantage! Use the Purple Flame Vortex!!!)
Following Yao Chen's command, Xiao Yan threw the purple flames from his hand toward the three Dou Ling. Upon contact, the flames exploded, and the purple flame vortex surrounded the three of them. The flames burned their bodies, while the violent energy within the flames relentlessly ravaged their minds.
"Damn it! Heavenly Flame?!"
"How could this kid have Heavenly Flame?!!"
"Don't be fooled! It's just Beast Flame! Hurry and break out!!"
As the three Dou Ling regained their senses and realized they were surrounded by the purple flames, they immediately used their Dou Qi to shield themselves and rushed out of the vortex.
What they saw next was Xiao Yan pulling out the Heavy Xuan Ruler from his storage ring. A powerful aura that had gathered around him radiated outward.
The might was terrifying! It made the three Dou Ling's pupils contract in fear!
Without a doubt, Xiao Yan's next attack would far exceed their expectations!
(Last strike! Killshot!!!)
"Flame Splitting Tsunami!!!"
Xiao Yan roared, swinging the Heavy Xuan Ruler.
Buzz!!!!
Accompanied by the buzzing sound, one of the Dou Ling felt his vision suddenly overwhelmed by a flash of white light. When his sight cleared, Xiao Yan, holding the Heavy Xuan Ruler, was slightly panting.
Looking at the sunlight pouring into the dim stronghold, the Dou Ling realized that more than half of the stronghold had been destroyed!
Although this attack was powerful, the Dou Ling could clearly see that the cost to Xiao Yan was not small.
Seizing the opportunity, they would kill Xiao Yan!
Understanding this, he immediately turned to the other two Dou Ling.
"Hey! Let's go together…"
The Dou Ling's words stopped abruptly as he looked down at the two half-bodies in front of him, their waists perfectly severed, with no blood spilling out, and their upper bodies completely gone.
This sight left the Dou Ling's mind in a state of blankness.
What… happened?
Where are my teammates? Where are my comrades?
The Dou Ling slowly lowered his head. His mind slowly started to recover, and his eyes filled with terror as he belatedly let out a cry of despair.
"Ahhhh!!! My legs! My legs!!!"
His upper body was propped up against a pile of bricks and rubble, but his lower body had completely disappeared without a trace! Not only that, even his forearms were completely gone! Pain surged through his mind all at once, tormenting him to the point that he wished for death!!!
As the Dou Ling screamed, Xiao Yan crouched on one knee, taking a Qi recovery pill from his storage ring and swallowing it, panting as he looked at the now clear wolf head mercenary stronghold, sunlight streaming through the open spaces.
The Flame Splitting Tsunami was undoubtedly incredibly powerful, but the toll it took on the body was also undeniable. If Xiao Yan used it again, he would truly collapse.
Just as Xiao Yan was thinking this, Yao Chen was also observing the situation.
Whoosh~~~ My disciple really is terrifying. Who would believe that he is only a mere Dou Shi right now?
On the other hand, commanding such a disciple who listens to my every order is quite fun, almost like being a beast tamer.
Once Xiao Yan caught his breath, he slowly stood up, lifting the Heavy Xuan Ruler as he walked toward the Dou Ling who was still howling in agony, his eyes cold and solemn.
It was clear that Xiao Yan wasn't the type to enjoy torturing others.
This Dou Ling had only survived that last attack by pure accident; Xiao Yan hadn't intended for him to suffer so much.
"Now, let me give you peace."
Xiao Yan raised the Heavy Xuan Ruler high, his black eyes flashing with an extreme killing intent, causing the Dou Ling to immediately stop his cries and use all his strength to yell desperately.
"Yun Ying! Save me…"
Thud!
The Dou Ling's voice stopped abruptly as his head shattered, leaving Xiao Yan staring blankly at the headless corpse.
The person he had called was…
Clap, clap, clap!
Suddenly, applause rang from a nearby corner, causing Xiao Yan's eyes to snap open. He quickly turned to look.
What he saw was a young black-haired woman, who had somehow seated herself at the main seat of the hall. Her crimson eyes looked down at Xiao Yan with a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
So beautiful!
Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart!
Before this, the only person who could make Xiao Yan feel this awe in terms of beauty was Yao Chen!
But this woman's beauty even surpassed Yao Chen's! It was more than just appearance—it was as though her very soul could draw you in!
While Xiao Yan stood frozen in place, the woman slowly opened her mouth, speaking in a voice that was utterly captivating.
"I initially took on this bounty just out of boredom, but I didn't expect that this seemingly dull task would turn out to be far more interesting than I could have imagined."
Hearing the woman's enchanting voice, Xiao Yan stood stunned for a long time, until Yao Chen's voice came from within his mind.
(Xiao Yan, snap out of it.) Yao Chen's voice was low, his heart already sinking. (This woman… she's a Dou Huang.)
Dou Huang?!!
Xiao Yan immediately snapped back to reality, gripping the Heavy Xuan Ruler tightly as his body tensed, his heart shaking uncontrollably.
At this moment, the woman spoke again.
"Nice to meet you, Xiao Yan." She gently turned her face to the side, gazing at Xiao Yan with a soft smile, "I'm Yun Ying. My current rank is Nine-Star Dou Huang. I look forward to working with you~"
