Chapter 193: The Final Card
Under the gazes of countless eyes filled with various emotions, the black-robed elder beside Xiao Yan was at this moment madly circulating his Qi Method within his body. The hand seals in his hands suddenly changed, and an equally vast and formidable energy abruptly surged into the sky!
'Open Mountain Seal!'
As Ling Ying's low shout echoed in his heart, an enormous energy handprint several meters large suddenly appeared!
At the instant this energy handprint manifested, the entire space of the Misty Cloud Sect and even the entire Misty Cloud Mountain began to ripple rapidly like waves.
The surrounding natural energy shot straight into the clouds!
This terrifying energy fluctuation shocked everyone to their core!
"He's mobilizing the energy of the world! Di Class? No, not just that!"
"Such terrifying world energy absolutely isn't as simple as a Low Di Class Dou Technique!!" Jia Xing Tian and the other Dou Emperors widened their eyes, revealing expressions of shock and fear.
As veteran elite Dou Emperors or even peak Dou Emperors, they had more or less cultivated or seen Low Di Class Dou Techniques, but Intermediate or High Di Class Dou Techniques-they had never seen them at all!
Generally speaking, it was very difficult for someone who has just entered the Dou Emperor realm to possess Di Class Dou Techniques. Only the older generation of Dou Emperors or even peak Dou Emperors might possibly learn Low Di Class Dou Techniques.
As for Intermediate and High Di Class Dou Techniques, those were basically in the realm of Dou Ancestors. Even a 9-star Dou Ancestor would keep a High Di Class Dou Technique as a hidden trump card; those were ultimate moves!
Unless one was a Dou Emperor from a major faction, one simply wouldn't come into contact with Intermediate Di Class or higher Dou Techniques!
Xiao Yan looked at Ling Ying in astonishment, his eyes narrowing. Being the closest to Ling Ying, he sensed it most clearly. He could be one hundred percent certain that this was a High Di Class Dou Technique!
After all, he himself had cultivated a Low Di Class Qi Method and the Flame Splitting
Tsunami. His storage ring even contained High Di Class Dou Techniques, but they just weren't suitable for him to cultivate.
No wonder even Hun Huzi was wary of the forces behind Xun Er. The peak Dou Emperor Ling Ying had actually cultivated a High Di Class Dou Technique! This faction was even more unfathomable than he had imagined!
Boom!
Ling Ying slammed his palm toward the ground. Instantly, the natural energy of the entire Misty Cloud Mountain seemed to follow his attack, simultaneously blasting toward the mountain!
The ground shook and the mountain trembled with a loud rumble. The entire Misty Cloud Mountain seemed about to collapse. Amidst the rumbling, rocks rolled and sand flew; mountains crumbled and the earth cracked.
"What's happening?" The sudden earth splitting startled many people at the foot of Misty Cloud Mountain! Especially those still climbing the stairs and those shopping and strolling in Misty Cloud City. They fell on their butts as they stared blankly at the Misty Cloud Sect atop the mountain!
"What on earth is going on?! Is it an earthquake?!"
It was just like the Dou Technique Ling Ying used-Open Mountain Seal! A single palm could split a mountain!
Of course, with Ling Ying's peak Dou Emperor strength, shattering an ordinary tall mountain with one palm might be no problem, but Misty Cloud Mountain was protected by the sect- protecting grand formation.
However, Ling Ying's intention wasn't to destroy Misty Cloud Mountain but to break the sect-protecting grand formation!
Crashing sounds rang out one after another. At the same time, all the nodes of the grand formation covering the entire Misty Cloud Sect were struck!
"Urgh!" Gu He as the strongest among them and standing right on the dueling square bore the brunt of it. A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth as he suffered backlash!
"Master!" Liu Ling hurriedly supported the injured Gu He.
"I'm fine. It's just a bit of backlash from the formation being broken." Gu He immediately took a tier 5 pill to recover from his injuries.
He looked with surprise at Ling Ying, whose figure was concealed by a black robe, and his eyes showed some apprehension as he glanced toward the palanquin where Xiao Yan was.
'No wonder his alchemy skills have improved so quickly.' Gu He now believed that there must be a major faction behind Xiao Yan!
Moreover, this faction was much larger than the Misty Cloud Sect.
Among those present, only Hai Bodong wasn't surprised by Xiao Yan's methods, because he had long 'known' that Xiao Yan had the backing of a major faction.
Therefore, when Xiao Yan wanted to confront the Misty Cloud Sect, he stood calmly by his side.
Breaking the Misty Cloud Sect's sect-protecting grand formation with a single palm startled many of the disciples present. When they came back to their senses, the Covering Sun Cloud Formation above their heads had already disappeared, leaving only a mass of white mist protecting Yun Shan.
Ling Ying raised his head to look at Yun Shan, who was surrounded by the Green Lotus Core Flame, and mockingly said, "I didn't expect the famed Misty Cloud Sect of the Jia Ma Empire to be in such a state. Thousands of people in the entire sect actually joined hands to deal with a boy not even twenty years old! You've truly thrown away all the face that Yun Po Tian earned for the Misty Cloud Sect across the continent back in the day!"
"What a pity. The once-glorious Misty Cloud Sect now can only barely produce a 1-star Dou Ancestor, and his strength is mediocre at that. Compared to Yun Po Tian back then, it's truly a
far cry."
Yun Shan waved his large hand, and the condensed white energy erupted, breaking free from Medusa's Green Lotus Core Flame's restraints.
Standing in mid-air, he looked at Ling Ying and said in a deep voice, "You must be an expert from the Central Plains? May I know which faction you belong to? Though I've been in seclusion for a long time, I still know a thing or two about the factions on the continent."
"That, I cannot reveal," Ling Ying spread his hands, then his expression turned somewhat solemn as he said in a heavy voice, "But I'll give you a word of advice. Don't think that becoming a Dou Ancestor allows you to do as you please. It's best if you don't recklessly make a move against this little fellow. Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it in the future!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Though now it seems you truly can't do anything to him anyway."
A pair of black-colored Dou Qi wings appeared behind Ling Ying as he and Medusa surrounded Yun Shan from front and back.
Although Ling Ying was only at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, he had the advantage of following Xun Er for many years and had obtained some powerful Dou Techniques and Qi Methods. His strength was much greater than Jia Xing Tian's. Coupled with Queen Medusa controlling the Green Lotus Core Flame, even though Yun Shan was a Dou Ancestor, it was hard to say who would win or lose.
With a ringing sound, Yun Shan drew out a cyan sharp sword. This was a weapon he had forged himself, a powerful peak Rank 6 weapon.
As energies surged, the three almost simultaneously made their moves in the next second. Medusa's eyes narrowed, and the Green Lotus Core Flame instantly transformed into numerous fire snakes that pounced toward Yun Shan from all directions.
Ling Ying concealed his figure, ready to launch a fatal strike at any moment.
Bursts of sharp energy collisions erupted in the sky. Even though Yun Shan was a 1-star Dou Ancestor, facing Queen Medusa, who possessed a Heavenly Flame, and Ling Ying, who could launch a sneak attack at any time, the higher-leveled Yun Shan found himself overwhelmed and actually fell into a disadvantage.
Xiao Yan propped his face with his hand as he lay on the palanquin, watching the fierce battle in the sky. The aftershocks of the battle turned into gusts of wind that blew over, causing the palanquin to creak rhythmically as it swayed, making him feel a little sleepy!
'It seems there's really no need for me to make a move.' Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Nalan Yanran not far behind him. At this moment, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes were also
watching the battle above the clouds in surprise.
"Hey," Xiao Yan called out.
"Uh?" Only then did Nalan Yanran snap out of her daze. She didn't know why Xiao Yan was
calling her.
"Does your Misty Cloud Sect have any other trump cards?"
??? Nalan Yanran was stunned. Now that you've caused such a commotion in the Misty Cloud Sect,
you want me to provide you with intelligence?
She rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I don't know."
She really didn't know. After all, she had only joined the Misty Cloud Sect for eight years and
had been the Little Sect Master for just one or two years. The strongest person she knew was
Yun Shan.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, revealing a sly smile as he looked at Yun Shan, who was being beaten. He silently said in his heart, 'Then it seems Yun Shan has only one last card left.'
