Chapter 50: Xiao Yan and Yanran, First Display of Strength!

"Xiao Family, Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yan's voice resounded across the square, his Aura as powerful as a great bell.

Today, he, Xiao Yan, must wash away his humiliation!

"Nalan Family, Nalan Yanran."

Nalan Yanran's voice was clear. She summoned her newly forged pair of swords named "Shattering Wind," standing tall and elegant with sword in hand.

In today's battle, Yun Yun, Gu He, and everyone from her Family were watching; she absolutely could not lose!

She had dared to break free from her shackles back then, and she would not regret or shrink back now!

"Xiao Yan, let today's battle settle our grievances from three years ago! I hope you realize that I, Nalan Yanran, have never regretted the broken engagement!"

Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh.

Three years had allowed Nalan Yanran to grow into a graceful young woman; the person even Xiao Xun Er had once teased as a beauty was now even more stunning.

However, Nalan Yanran's excellence and poise were like a poisonous thorn pierced into Xiao Yan's heart.

"Enough talk, let's begin!" he said.

The atmosphere between the two was subtle.

On the high platform, Yun Shan frowned and flew down, looking at Xiao Yan.

"I am Yun Shan, the previous Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect. I shall preside over today's Three-Year Agreement!

In this match, you should stop once the point is made."

Xiao Yan didn't even give Yun Shan a glance. He looked at Nalan Yanran's determined face and picked up the xuan heavy ruler standing on the ground, his Battle Intent fully exposed.

"Life and death are up to fate!"

His sharp shout carried an unconscious irritability.

Yun Shan was taken aback. "Young man, the thing a Cultivator should avoid most is impetuousness..."

Before he could finish, he realized this was the business of the younger generation, so he could only silently fly back up and withdraw from their conversation.

Nalan Yanran didn't care at all. She smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a radiant fighting intent.

She had never expected Xiao Yan to hold back against her for any reason.

After all, she wouldn't underestimate her enemy or show weakness either!

"Then come and fight!" she said.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out!

...

Boom!

Xiao Yan made the first Move. He lifted the giant ruler, his foot stomping hard on the ground. Amidst a loud explosion, a pitch-black shadow shot violently toward Nalan Yanran!

Nalan Yanran raised her sword and slashed horizontally, her sword energy fully revealed.

"Green Wood Sword Qi!"

As the massive sword energy struck, Xiao Yan raised the xuan heavy ruler and blocked with force!

Cough—

The expected collapse of the Sword Qi did not happen. Instead, Xiao Yan was shaken by this seemingly simple Sword Qi.

!

Xiao Yan became a bit more cautious.

He hadn't expected that after three years, Nalan Yanran would have made such massive progress. She was completely different from those Cultivators piled up with Medicinal Pills; she had integrated hidden force into a simple strike and executed it to the limit!

Xiao Yan specialized in close combat. Before coming, he had specifically researched some Dou Techniques practiced by Cloud Mist Sect Disciples, such as movement techniques like Flying Catkin, as well as many sword-related techniques. As a Personal Disciple, Nalan Yanran had certainly received the true teachings of the Cloud Mist Sect's Sect Master.

Xiao Yan rapidly closed the distance with Nalan Yanran, attempting to figure out her Moves thoroughly.

The two became locked in combat, inseparable.

Clang—

The xuan heavy ruler and the Shattering Wind longsword collided repeatedly, letting out crisp ringing sounds.

The occasional energy aftershocks even spread toward the outside of the square, forcing the many Disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect to gather together and work together to raise a barrier to block the spreading energy waves.

Shortly after the battle began, two different types of armor quickly covered parts of their bodies.

Nalan Yanran's armor was more delicate, form-fitting, and emitted a faint green light.

Xiao Yan's armor was relatively coarse.

Holy crap! Dou Qi Armor! Both of them are actually Great Dou Masters!"

"I'm not surprised Senior Sister Nalan is a Great Dou Master, but I didn't expect this Xiao Yan to be one too..."

The Cloud Mist Sect Disciples outside the barrier were discussing fervently.

A Great Dou Master at this age was enough to make countless Outer Sect Disciples look up in awe!

...

At the seating area of the arena.

Jia Xingtian said indifferently, "This Xiao Yan doesn't look like a loser at all. Nalan Jie, your granddaughter has a real fight on her hands!"

Fama also said, "His Soul Power is indeed somewhat unfathomable..."

A thoughtful look flashed in Nalan Jie's eyes, but his voice carried a hint of determination.

"My granddaughter will not lose."

Ya Fei, sitting in the row behind him, couldn't help but ask softly, "Could it be that Clan Chief Nalan gave Young Miss Yanran some Magic Treasure?"

Nalan Jie recalled the news from his attendants that after Nalan Yanran met Gu He, she practiced her sword day and night in the martial arts field.

Although much time had passed, it was still fresh in his memory.

"I didn't give her anything. Whether she can reclaim her glory depends entirely on herself..." Nalan Jie didn't say much more, his eyes fixed tightly on the stage.

On the other side.

Yun Yun also softly asked Gu He, "That boy is quite formidable."

"I wonder if Yanran can..."

Gu He held her fair hand, comforting her uneasy heart. "I left a trump card for Yanran, you can rest assured."

Yun Yun felt a bit more at ease. She was indeed letting her concern cloud her judgment, almost forgetting how much preparation the two of them had made for Nalan Yanran before the match.

"Are you talking about that sword manual? It is indeed powerful."

"There must be a master pointing the way behind this Xiao Yan. Otherwise, even if he regained his talent for cultivation, it would be impossible for him to break through to Great Dou Master and form Dou Qi Armor by today."

"But... he should know that not only does he have a master, our Yanran has one too!"

"Gu He, you are that girl Yanran's greatest trump card." Yun Yun watched the match, pouring out the thoughts in her heart.

Gu He smiled slightly. As his Soul perception spread out, the movements of Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's battle were revealed in his eyes as clearly as a movie.

"Let's keep watching," he said.

...

"As expected, you are also a Great Dou Master."

To Xiao Yan's surprise, Nalan Yanran wasn't shocked; her expression merely became a bit more solemn.

He didn't know that Nalan Yanran had seen him with a Heavenly Flame in Mo City, and she already had a psychological expectation for his comeback.

"Heh, over these three years, I have endured countless tortures and pains just to defeat you!"

"I must win this battle!"

Xiao Yan gave a loud shout, his Aura suddenly surging as the power of a Three-Star Great Dou Master poured out.

A wisp of Beast Fire rose in his hand. Instantly, the mysterious black giant ruler was dyed with crimson flames, as if a scorching firelight was attached to it.

"I, Nalan Yanran, also do not regret my decision!"

She pulled off the silk scarf binding her long black hair. As if releasing an energy Seal, her Aura surged instantly, also reaching the level of a Three-Star Great Dou Master.

She deployed her Flight Dou Technique, her green wings slicing through the air as she flew into the sky.

The Shattering Wind sword originally emitted a faint glow in her hand, but as she raised it toward the sky, the tip of the sword burst with a golden light like the sun.

Dazzling and brilliant!

"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!!"

"Wind's Extreme: Falling Sun!"

Two shouts brought forth two powerful waves of Dou Qi might.

As the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler was swung, an incomparably massive torch that seemed to touch the sky appeared out of thin air.

And the Shattering Wind sword pointed to the azure sky, its momentum reaching the clouds, and in an instant, the light blossomed grandly!

Boom—!

The massive energy aftershocks were comparable to a gale sweeping the coast, making the energy protective shield tremble. Many Elders of the Cloud Mist Sect hurriedly acted to stabilize it.

Yet this terrifying attack was unexpectedly not the end!

Powerful experts could see through the clouds of dust kicked up by the broken blue bricks on the field that Nalan Yanran's attack was still continuing!
