259. Defeated and routed
Which is stronger, an eight-star Dou Zong's direct punch or the defensive Dou Techniques of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?
Xiao Yan answered with action, delivering a straightforward punch that struck the massive black bell where Feng Qing'er was hiding.
clang!
The deep, resonant sound of the bell echoed between Xiao Yan and Hei Zhong!
The Demon Emperor Bell vibrated and hummed under Xiao Yan's punch, its dark light flashing incessantly on its surface.
The invisible brute force that erupted between Xiao Yan and the Demon Phoenix Zhong stirred up all the rubble and dust in the area.
Despite its terrifying momentum, the Demon Phoenix Bell remained suspended in mid-air.
It's not broken!
The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is renowned for its defensive fighting techniques, which require pure Heavenly Phoenix blood to activate. These techniques withstood Xiao Yan's offensive.
At the moment of impact, a thunderous bell-like sound suddenly rang out, and the enormous sound waves, as if they were tangible, spread wildly from the surface of the giant bell. The violent fluctuations even stirred up and churned the dark clouds in the sky.
Sonic counterattack! This is also the strength of this fighting technique; it can not only defend but also counterattack! Moreover, it is a rather strange sonic attack that specifically targets the soul.
Seeing the reliable defensive capabilities of the Demon Phoenix Bell, Venerable Lei's anxiety subsided somewhat. Even he needed two to three years to create a single Thunder-Accumulating Pearl, so naturally he didn't want to give it away to Venerable Feng for nothing.
What he didn't know was that the actual situation was somewhat different from what he saw.
An ordinary person would likely be affected by the sonic waves from the Demon Phoenix Bell's recoil. However, Xiao Yan possessed not only the strength of an eight-star Dou Zong but also the soul power of a seventh-grade alchemist.
Before the sound waves emitted by the Demon Phoenix Bell could affect Xiao Yan's soul, they were forcefully suppressed by Xiao Yan, who ignored the impact!
Inside the Demon Phoenix Bell, Feng Qing'er's face was already somewhat pale. Although the Demon Phoenix Bell hadn't shattered from the previous attack, her fighting spirit was being rapidly depleted.
Even with the Demon Phoenix Bell blocking the way, the immense power released by Xiao Yan still caused a surge within Feng Qing'er's body.
"Can I really pull through?" A sense of helplessness crossed Feng Qing'er's mind.
Never before had five breaths felt so long to her.
But the next moment, another impact came. Xiao Yan held a giant ruler made entirely of Dou Qi and slashed down at Hei Zhong with ruthless force.
The Heavenly Ruler, domineering!
This time, Xiao Yan did not use his signature Xuan Heavy Ruler, nor did he use a different kind of fire to enhance the Heavenly Desolation Ruler. He believed that even if the elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were here, they would not be able to recognize him so easily.
What Xiao Yan didn't know was that his worries were unnecessary. Although the elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion were focused on observing the battle, their inner shock was beyond measure, and they had no mind to judge the fighting techniques Xiao Yan was using.
Because that seemingly indestructible defensive fighting technique of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, which had caused them all considerable trouble, had actually shattered under Xiao Yan's attack. Their proud and talented young girl was now in a precarious situation.
The flames wrapped around the black bell were immediately suppressed and extinguished, and the jet-black bell was shattered into pieces.
Feng Qing'er's body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, and she could no longer suppress the blood, which spurted out of her mouth.
At this moment, Feng Qing'er was no longer as arrogant as before, but fell from mid-air like a kite with a broken string.
Her face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. Combined with her breathtakingly beautiful appearance, she was incredibly pitiful at that moment.
Many people present, upon seeing Feng Qing'er in this state, couldn't help but feel an urge to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.
The next moment, Xiao Yan showed no mercy and kicked Feng Qing'er back to the ground. He then threw a large ruler, which pierced straight down towards Feng Qing'er, finally landing about half a foot away from her head.
The large ruler exerted terrifying force, plunging straight into the ground and even causing several cracks.
Xiao Yan landed back on the ground. At this moment, only two people were standing on the huge Four Directions Pavilion Tournament stage—Xiao Yan and Mu Qingluan.
At this moment, the Fenglei Mountains were completely silent!
He really did it!
Within ten breaths, apart from Mu Qingluan, a teammate who also came from the Starfall Pavilion, no one else was able to stand up.
Within ten breaths, they eliminated dozens of young geniuses, winning the championship of this Four Directions Pavilion Tournament in the most ruthless way.
The ghost-shaped mask that Xiao Yan wore further amplified the shock he brought to everyone.
Anyone who has ever stepped onto the stage and directly experienced the pressure from Xiao Yan feels it is terrifying!
Such geniuses are extremely rare, even in the Central Plains where powerful figures abound.
At this moment, the onlookers were more concerned about Xiao Yan's age; no one could imagine that such a young man could have accomplished all of this.
Xiao Yan walked to Feng Qing'er's side. Suddenly, Feng Qing'er, who seemed to be exhausted, forcibly gathered a burst of seven-colored energy and once again grabbed at Xiao Yan with her five claws.
A jade-like hand came toward Xiao Yan's face, but given Xiao Yan's strength, such a sneak attack was nothing to fear.
Xiao Yan easily grabbed Feng Qing'er's hand and lifted her up.
"Who exactly are you?" Feng Qing'er's noble and aloof face was filled with resentment.
"Miss Feng, you're still planning a sneak attack? I suggest you go find a man and obediently become his plaything," Xiao Yan said coldly, devoid of any emotion.
"You...you'd better not fall into my hands!" Even though she was under Xiao Yan's control at this moment, Feng Qing'er was unwilling to give in.
"Hmph." Xiao Yan snorted coldly and crushed Feng Qing'er's hand bones with force.
"Ah!" Feng Qing'er screamed in agony, her forehead covered in cold sweat. This act also broke the hearts of many of Feng Qing'er's admirers, but they dared not step forward out of fear of Xiao Yan's intimidation.
"Boy, put her down!" Thunder Venerable's voice, as loud as thunder, rang out, and the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to surge in accordance with Thunder Venerable's will.
No matter the reason, Venerable Lei would not stand idly by and watch Feng Qing'er get hurt.
Venerable Huangquan was also furious. He stood up from his seat and pointed at Venerable Feng, saying, "Feng Xian, what do you have to say now?!"
"Are you going to tell me now that this high-level Dou Zong is also a young man trained by your Starfall Pavilion?"
With his full strength at stake, Xiao Yan could no longer conceal his cultivation level from the Venerable Ones.
However, due to the strength of Venerable Feng, Venerable Huangquan and Venerable Lei have not yet made a direct move.
Venerable Wind remained calmly seated in his position, neither commenting nor denying, as if none of this concerned him.
Xiao Yan looked at Feng Qing'er, whose struggles in his hands had weakened, and sneered as he threw her to Lei Zun Zhe on the high platform.
He then pulled the large ruler, formed from condensed battle qi, from the ground and raised it, pointing it diagonally at Venerable Huangquan on the stands.
Xiao Yan lowered his voice and said, "Since Venerable Huangquan thinks there's a problem, why not come down and try it yourself!"
