187: Chapter 187 Xiao Yan: A Palm Technique Descending from the Sky! Gu Han Unleashes His Fury

"Swish!"

The longsword sliced through only air as Yan Tiange's afterimage dissipated. When he reappeared, he was behind Gu Han, striking out with a palm strike that had been building momentum for a long time.

Bang!

Without even turning his head, Gu Han blocked the longsword behind him with a giant hand, while the Dou Qi in his body surged out to condense into an ice prism.

"Boom!"

Dou Qi surged from Yan Tiange's hand, turning into a blast of energy that instantly shattered the ice mirror.

Gu Han's figure had already vanished, leaving only a longsword in place, emitting sword qi.

The ice shards from the shattered mirror seemed to come alive, swerving to attack Yan Tiange from all sides.

"Boom!"

Yan Tiange condensed a barrier around himself, blocking all the ice.

The moment the barrier vanished, he felt a scalp-numbing chill coming from above.

Gu Han descended from the sky, the cold energy in his hands surging as it condensed into an ice palm several dozen feet in size.

"What a move, a palm technique from the heavens!" Xiao Yan murmured softly.

Bang!

The giant palm fell, but it only struck and shattered an afterimage.

Yan Tiange's speed was astonishing; he appeared behind Gu Han instantly and stomped down.

"Boom!"

Gu Han waved his hand to condense an ice wall, which Yan Tiange easily crushed underfoot.

"Sword, come!"

Gu Han raised his hand, summoning the distant longsword back to him, and immediately condensed a cold sword glow to slash out.

The sword qi obscured the view, but again, it passed right through Yan Tiange's body; it was clearly still an afterimage.

Yan Tiange himself had already reached Gu Han's side and thrown a punch.

"Bang!"

Gu Han pressed his palms together, condensing an ice wall at his side.

After blocking Yan Tiange's strike, the ice wall shattered, and Gu Han's figure retreated explosively.

It was clear that this was a contest focused on speed, and Gu Han was falling behind.

"Your sect's Great Elder has cultivated my sect's secret technique to a very high level," Yan Luotian sent a voice transmission to Yun Shan. "He is indeed a genius, but unfortunately, he's not enough to face our Golden Goose Sect's Great Elder."

Gu Han cultivated the Heavenly Goose Six Line Wings, while Yan Tiange cultivated the complete version, the Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose.

Although the former had mastered his version more thoroughly while the latter had only reached the proficiency level, it was still enough to create a suppression.

"You're celebrating too early," Yun Shan's tone was calm, showing no concern that his Great Elder might be in mortal danger.

Yan Luotian felt puzzled, but then he sensed a change in the situation within the barrier.

After dodging one of Yan Luotian's attacks, a layer of black flames suddenly appeared on the wings on Gu Han's back.

The originally blue and white wings turned into a rich tricolor of black, white, and blue.

Following this, Gu Han's speed increased again, and he began to suppress Yan Tiange in return.

The situation that followed was identical to before, only the roles of Gu Han and Yan Tiange were reversed.

"Hiss, Great Elder Gu Han is suppressing Yan Tiange?"

"And in the field of speed, which the other party is best at."

"Furthermore, it seems he's still using the Golden Goose Sect's secret technique."

"Is this what a peerless genius is? His cultivation realm is lower, and the secret technique he learned is a level lower, yet with higher mastery, he can reverse the suppression in speed."

"..."

Many people could see that Gu Han was calling upon the power of a Heavenly Flame to boost his speed and suppress Yan Tiange.

But the Heavenly Flame was a power Gu Han controlled himself, an inherent advantage, just like Yan Tiange having a higher cultivation and the more complete Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose.

"Bang"

Gu Han grew faster and faster, his hands and feet infused with the power of ice, and his physical strength was even superior to Yan Tiange's.

As he attacked relentlessly, Yan Tiange began to feel the strain and noticed that his body's movements seemed to be slowing down.

Yan Luotian's eyes narrowed as he sent a voice transmission to Yan Tiange: "Great Elder, there's something wrong with that kid's Dou Qi."

"What a devious fellow."

With the Sect Leader's reminder, Yan Tiange immediately formed hand seals to activate the wings on his back. His speed surged instantly, and after narrowly avoiding Gu Han's fist, he retreated a hundred feet.

He circulated his Dou Qi for an internal inspection and found many strands of Ice Attribute Dou Qi that didn't belong to him within his meridians. This was the culprit hindering his Dou Qi circulation and restricting his movements.

Clearly, during the continuous head-on clashes, Gu Han had quietly injected Ice Attribute Dou Qi with a sealing effect into his body.

"Yan Luotian, your sect's Great Elder is fighting ours with a huge advantage in Flying Dou Techniques and cultivation, and yet you're still offering guidance from the sidelines?" Yun Shan sneered, speaking aloud so everyone would know what was happening.

"A Two-Star Dou Zong directing a Seven-Star Dou Huang on how to fight a Two-Star Dou Wang... even storybooks wouldn't dare write such a thing, yet it's happening right before my eyes."

"Is it that our sect's Great Elder is too powerful, or is your Golden Goose Sect just too useless?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people below began to whisper among themselves.

Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators present were from the Jia Ma Empire and were already hostile toward the Golden Goose Sect. Now, they made no effort to hide the contempt and mockery in their eyes.

Yan Luotian's face instantly turned ashen, and a flash of anger and killing intent crossed his eyes. "Great Elder, don't hold back. End this quickly."

Yan Tiange's expression was even more unsightly. Even without Yan Luotian's prompt, he had already resorted to drastic measures.

His hands quickly formed seals, and Dou Qi surged on the wings on his back, taking on a blood-red hue.

Not only that, but wind-attribute Dou Qi also reinforced Yan Tiange's body, making him look like a sharp sword.

Boom!

What sounded like a sonic boom rang out as Yan Luotian's figure vanished instantly, crossing hundreds of feet in a heartbeat to strike at Gu Han's chest.

Pfft.

Yan Luotian's hand passed right through Gu Han's body.

That figure had sounded like a solid entity just a moment ago.

"Eh!?"

The expressions of Yun Yun, Colorful Glass, and the others changed slightly.

The speed Yan Luotian displayed was such that even they might be caught off guard by a sneak attack if they weren't careful.

"No need to worry, it's an energy body," Yao Lao's voice sounded in their ears.

Colorful Glass's eyes flickered as she contacted Cai Die via telepathy: "Yao Lao has arrived."

Meanwhile, inside the energy barrier, Yan Luotian spoke with a cold sneer, "This elder admits you are a genius. If given a few more years to grow, I would be no match for you."

"But at least for now, this elder can still kill you."

That was a Blood Escape reinforcement secret technique that could only be performed with the complete Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose and the Golden Goose Sect's core cultivation method.

After using it, he would be weakened for a period, but the speed he could display now was something even an ordinary Dou Zong couldn't keep up with.

A mere Two-Star Dou Wang like Gu Han naturally couldn't cope with it.

However, he didn't hear a cry of pain from Gu Han; instead, he heard Yan Luotian's anxious voice: "Great Elder, run!"

Run!?

Yan Tiange instinctively tried to move, but found his hand couldn't be withdrawn, as if it were frozen solid.

Only then did he realize that the body of the Gu Han in front of him was changing, eventually turning into an ice sculpture.

"When did this happen!?" Yan Tiange's pupils dilated.

Gu Han actually possessed a method to condense an ice-attribute energy clone.

Moreover, he had condensed it without being noticed and managed to escape right under his nose.

The key was the escape; if he had noticed earlier, he would have surely been able to react.

At the same time, he felt a terrifying surge of energy from behind.

"Water-Fire Cold Transformation Seal!"

This time, Gu Han also used fire-attribute natural energy.

Since he controlled a Heavenly Flame, he could summon fire-attribute energy at will.

Both water-attribute and fire-attribute natural energy were transformed into cold qi, making the power of this seal infinitely close to an earth tier mid-rank Dou Technique.

Within the energy barrier, the natural energy rioted once more with immense momentum, and even the energy barrier created by the two Dou Zongs suffered a violent impact.

"Not good!" Yan Luotian's expression became extremely grim, and he immediately sent a voice transmission to Gu Han: "Gu Han, spare our sect's Great Elder. I'll agree to any conditions you have, even if you want the complete Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose."

Hearing this, Gu Han had no intention of holding back.

He only wanted Yan Tiange dead!
