How arrogant!
Making such a boast during such a competition surprised even the most revered figures in the stands.
It's impossible that Venerable Wind didn't tell the people on the field about the importance of this match, yet he still dared to make such a boast, which shows his extreme confidence in his own strength.
Xiao Yan's actions were far too arrogant, to the point that even Sword Venerable was thinking to himself: If such a person was trained by Yellow Spring Venerable, then that would make perfect sense.
However, the fact that he came from the Wind Venerable's school is somewhat puzzling, since the Wind Venerable is a man of such character and would not do such a thing.
However, at this moment, Venerable Feng looked at Xiao Yan on the competition stage with a smile on his lips. He knew that Xiao Yan was still a young man, and naturally had some pride in his heart.
So what if my own child is a little arrogant?
Back when Yao Chen won the Alchemist Tournament, he was also full of vigor and ambition. Not to mention that Xiao Yan's current actions were a decision made after discussing it with him earlier.
Xiao Yan's arrogant remarks brought the atmosphere in the entire mountain range to its peak. No matter what the outcome of today's match is, this mysterious person from the Starfall Pavilion will surely become famous throughout the Central Plains!
"Excellent! This Four Directions Pavilion Conference was truly worthwhile!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is how a young man should be!"
"I really want to know what's underneath that mask; I really want to marry a genius like that!"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking on the competition stage, he began to act.
At this point in the competition, there were still 62 people left. He had to eliminate all 60 remaining people within ten breaths.
With his full power unleashed, Xiao Yan slammed his right foot into the ground, pushing his physical strength to its limit.
The solid ground beneath his feet shattered with a crash, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear rapidly around Xiao Yan.
An invisible force also spread out; this was an attack launched by Xiao Yan using the power of an eighth-level collapse.
Such an attack would be considered extremely crude by experts, but against opponents who were generally only at the level of Dou Huang, even the slightest movement of an eight-star Dou Zong was extremely difficult to withstand.
They were still caught up in Xiao Yan's arrogant words and didn't expect the attack to come so quickly.
The aftershock of the immense force knocked nearly a third of the people to the ground. Xiao Yan's kick shattered the arena into pieces, as the arena itself was only designed to withstand attacks from low-star Dou Zong.
After everyone lost their balance and were knocked down, streams of azure battle energy flowed out, directly sweeping them off the arena.
It was Mu Qingluan, who was behind Xiao Yan, who made the move. She looked at Xiao Yan's back and still found it hard to believe.
So strong!
Mu Qingluan knew her teacher's temperament well. From the beginning, she had guessed that Xiao Yan's strength was above Feng Qing'er's. She hadn't expected that her guess had greatly underestimated her senior brother; he was simply not on the same level as anyone else here.
In the blink of an eye, only forty-one people remained.
The next moment, a ruler made entirely of Dou Qi appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. Dou Qi surged violently within Xiao Yan's body, and he raised his hand and swung it three times.
Three beams of Dou Qi, each over ten feet long, were cleaved out by Xiao Yan.
Flames divide and devour waves!
Everyone reacted immediately after the surprise attack, using all their fighting skills to fight back. However, without exception, they were all blasted away after the collision.
These young geniuses, if prepared, might have been able to withstand Xiao Yan's attacks. However, Xiao Yan's repeated assaults had affected their mental state. With the strength of a Dou Huang, facing an eight-star Dou Zong who wasn't holding back was already incredibly stressful.
On the high platform, a dozen or so streaks of azure light flew down, enveloping more than ten people with relatively weak strength.
Venerable Feng intervened. Xiao Yan's attack was still too powerful for these Dou Huangs. This was just a competition; there was no need for anyone to die. Venerable Feng took the initiative to protect them.
Five breaths later, only three people remained.
Besides Xiao Yan and Mu Qingluan, only Feng Qing'er, the strongest member of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, remains.
As soon as Xiao Yan made his move, a surge of powerful Dou Qi erupted from Feng Qing'er's body, and then transformed into a giant phoenix phantom in the air behind her.
This phoenix was entirely black, giving it an eerie feel. Its phoenix eyes stared at Xiao Yan from afar, and a strange sense of pressure descended from the sky!
"The Sacred Elephant Phoenix Bell!"
Feng Qing'er's jade-like hands flashed out a dazzling array of hand seals, and then a cold shout suddenly came from her small mouth.
As the shout fell, the enormous, illusory black phoenix behind him seemed to come back to life, raising its head to let out a sharp phoenix cry, and a sudden burst of dark light enveloped Feng Qing'er's body.
After enveloping Feng Qing'er's body, the powerful dark light writhed and, after a moment, condensed into a massive black bell that was over ten feet long!
This giant bell is extremely large and entirely black. On its surface is carved a black phoenix soaring high, with thick, eerie black flames constantly emanating from its body. This giant bell is quite peculiar; although it is clearly formed from energy, it looks more real than any physical object. Even the black light flowing over it is exactly the same as that of a real object.
The sudden appearance of the jet-black bell caused quite a stir. The ruler-like light that had eliminated everyone only made the bell shine with a dark brilliance, without actually breaking it.
"Heavenly Demon Phoenix?" The three people on the stands, besides Thunder Venerable, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at the same time.
Although Feng Qing'er's identity shocked the three Venerables, at this moment, Venerable Lei no longer had the mind to boast about anything.
The mysterious person brought by Venerable Wind was far too strong for the young people participating in the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament.
Even now, he is still unsure of that person's strength; he can only say that the Starfall Pavilion has hidden itself too well.
The Four Directions Pavilion Tournament, which Fenglei Pavilion had originally considered a sure thing, has now encountered unexpected twists and turns, making him extremely nervous.
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix holds a status on the continent comparable to that of the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace, making it a behemoth. The Demon Phoenix Bell itself is an extremely important combat skill within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, possessing astonishing defensive power.
Lei Zun Zhe had no idea whether he could withstand Xiao Yan for even five breaths.
Xiao Yan looked at the enormous black bell in the sky, as stable as a mountain, and smiled beneath his mask.
He threw a straight punch at Hei Zhong!
