Chapter 125: The Ruthless Xiao Yan
"So fast!" Nalan Yanran's eyes contracted. Xiao Yan's speed was absurdly fast! Even her wind- attribute Dou Qi at full burst couldn't match his speed!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Ah!!" Mo Cheng didn't have time to react. A miserable scream followed by the sickening sound of cracking bones echoed through the hall. The sound was so piercing that it made everyone's skin crawl. There was no doubt that Xiao Yan's heavy punch had shattered Mo Cheng's nasal bone!
Such a bone-breaking sound made everyone shudder. A 5-star Dou Spirit like Mo Cheng had his nose bone shattered by a single punch from Xiao Yan, a mere 3-star Dou Grandmaster!
Who would believe such a thing!
"His physical strength is terrifying!" Ge Ye noticed the key point. Xiao Yan's punch wasn't just the power of the Mad Lion Chant Dou Technique, but also relied on his most basic physical strength. It was the combination of the Dou Technique and his powerful physique that resulted in that terrifying punch.
"The blood-red flame that appeared on his body is very special. It can enhance his physical attributes." Nalan Yanran narrowed her eyes. As Yun Yun's direct disciple, her observational skills had improved over the years.
She immediately noticed that the blood-red flame Xiao Yan used to instantly defeat Mo Li and now to deal with Mo Cheng was the key. It could enhance his physical strength!
"Could it be a Heavenly Flame? I heard from Father that Xiao Yan is also a 1st-tier alchemist," Nalan Yanran muttered to herself.
"Impossible. Even Elder Gu He, a 6th-tier alchemist, couldn't obtain a Heavenly Flame. How could a 1st-tier alchemist like him possibly possess one?" Ge Ye shook his head. He refused to believe that Xiao Yan could possess a Heavenly Flame that even Gu He didn't have. He merely speculated that it was some kind of special fire seed.
He would rather believe Xiao Yan had innate superhuman strength than accept that he possessed a Heavenly Flame.
A series of cracking sounds followed as Mo Cheng slowly stood up with a ferocious expression. He twisted his crooked nose back into place, and it miraculously began to heal right before everyone's eyes.
Without a doubt, Mo Cheng had indeed transplanted some magical beast parts onto his body, granting himself extraordinary regenerative abilities.
"Your little bit of strength is useless against me! Green Wind Claw!" Mo Cheng transformed into a gust of wind and charged forward, his Dou Qi wildly surging. His right hand actually transformed into a huge wind claw, intending to pierce through Xiao Yan's chest with a single
move.
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curled up. He advanced instead of retreating. His right fist clenched as the muscles in his arm instantly bulged with a menacing appearance. Inwardly, he roared: 'Octane Blast-Ten Thousand Beast Collapsing Fist!'
Mo Cheng was, after all, a powerful 5-star Dou Spirit. His cultivation was a whole realm higher than Xiao Yan's. The moment this Dou Spirit expert made a move, an overwhelming aura surged forth, saturating the entire hall with his powerful Dou Qi.
However, Xiao Yan, bolstered by the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, was far from an ordinary Dou Grandmaster. Especially after refining the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and tempering his body with its power with the help of the Eight-Winged Flame Tiger, his physique had become extraordinarily formidable.
Xiao Yan's fist heavily collided with Mo Cheng's wind claw with a resounding bang. Terrifying gusts of wind swept through the entire hall.
Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes. He had fought Xiao Yan once before when his strength was only at the 2-star Dou Spirit stage. Although he hadn't used his full strength at that time, he was still a former Dou Emperor after all. His strength shouldn't be inferior to a 5-star Dou Spirit. Mo Cheng was definitely no match for Xiao Yan now that his strength had increased even further.
"So strong! He's actually evenly matched with the First Elder?!"
Xiao Yan let out a cold laugh. He had almost cultivated the Octane Blast to perfection. Its power was comparable to a Di Class Dou Technique. Coupled with the enhancement from the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, even if Mo Cheng's cultivation was a whole realm higher, it still wouldn't be enough!
'Hidden Force, erupt!'
Roar roar roar!! The roar of ten thousand beasts erupted from his fist as blood-red flames burst out, drowning the wind-attribute energy. A massive tiger-like beast formed from the flames opened its bloody maw and swallowed the giant wind claw whole!
Eight explosive sounds rang out as Mo Cheng was sent flying with a single punch! The immense force transmitted through his body caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"First Elder!!"
"Impossible! The 5-star Dou Spirit Mo Cheng is no match for a mere Dou Grandmaster brat!!!"
Thud thud thud!! Mo Cheng staggered back several steps. His entire right hand had completely disintegrated. The Ten Thousand Beast Flame had burned away his flesh, while the hidden force of the Octane Blast had even shattered his bones!
Integrating the Ten Thousand Beast Flame with Xiao Yan's body further evolved the Octane Blast! The current Octane Blast was no longer comparable to an entry-level Di Class Dou Technique; it was equivalent to a full-fledged one!
There was a vast, nearly insurmountable gap between a mere Intermediate Xuan Class Dou Technique and a Di Class Dou Technique!
Nalan Yanran, who was watching from the side, had a look of disbelief in her beautiful eyes.
'Di Class...'
Without a doubt, she too had realized that the Dou Technique Xiao Yan just used was definitely at the Di Class level!
This was the magic of Di Class Dou Techniques. They could even bridge the gap in cultivation levels.
Your cultivation might be higher, but my Dou Technique is stronger!
Yun Po Tian had naturally left behind Di Class Dou Techniques for the Misty Cloud Sect, and Nalan Yanran was qualified to cultivate them. But being able to cultivate them and completely mastering them were two different matters. At present, she had only just learned the prerequisite moves of a Di Class Dou Technique, just enough to be considered at the entry- level. She was still very, very far from reaching a minor level of mastery.
Nalan Yanran had originally thought that possessing a Di Class Dou Technique would surely allow her to defeat Xiao Yan, but it turned out he knew one too.
'Just how did he cultivate during these three years!'
Gritting his teeth, Mo Cheng took a vial of magical beast blood from his storage ring. He poured it onto his severed arm, and a sharp, bone-piercing pain drilled into his heart. The next second, his arm miraculously regenerated and sprouted a new limb.
However, this arm was covered in pitch-black scales, four or five times thicker than a normal arm, with fingers more like sharp claws.
"The arm of a Rank 4 Black Armored Dragon. This kind of ferocious beast possesses the ability to absorb blood and regenerate severed limbs. You have transplanted its arm bones into your own arm." Xiao Yan, who had thoroughly read the various books in his storage ring, recognized at a glance what kind of magical beast Mo Cheng's arm belonged to. "Heh heh heh, you know quite a bit." Mo Cheng didn't deny it. With a tearing sound, eight grayish-white bone spikes suddenly grew out of his back, waving in the air like spider legs. "The legs of a Gray Bone Spider, the back armor of an Iron-Backed Crocodile, the ears of a Wind Galloping Ox... You've really transformed yourself into something that's neither human nor beast." Xiao Yan shook his head with a look of disgust upon seeing Mo Cheng's appearance.
At this moment, everyone present shuddered internally. Whether they were from other Yan City clans or Mo Clan disciples, they all felt a chill run down their spines.
They couldn't help but wonder upon seeing Mo Cheng like this:
Is he even human anymore?
"Hahaha, with these magical beast transplants, I, Mo Cheng, am unkillable!" Mo Cheng's
voice had even become hoarse.
"Unkillable? Your brain must be fried. Didn't these magical beasts die all the same?" Xiao Yan
had no desire to waste any more words with this monstrosity. The Mad Lion Chant erupted with Blood Fury as he took a step forward.
"Kill!" Mo Cheng let out a fierce cry and stopped speaking. He swung his various magical beast parts and charged at Xiao Yan with a long howl.
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curled up as his eyes narrowed. He had a good method for
dealing with magical beasts.
'Soul Impact!'
The Spiritual Strength of a 5th-tier alchemist burst forth from his body. Mo Cheng's mind exploded with a 'dong' sound, instantly blinding him and causing him to lose control of his
body.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yan appeared behind Mo Cheng, grabbing the bone spikes on his back with one hand and stomping on his back with one foot. With a series of snapping sounds, Xiao Yan actually directly pulled out the bone spikes from his back! "Ah ah ah!!!" Mo Cheng's agonized screams echoed throughout the entire hall.
