Chapter 215: Xiao Yan's Trump Cards

"Catch this! This is a pill from Mentor Yun!"

Liu Qing distributed the pills given by Yun Tianming to Lin Xiu Ya and the others.

"Mentor Yun's pill!"

Lin Xiu Ya and the others looked delighted. After taking the pills, their injuries quickly healed.

"Damn! A high-level alchemist from Jia Nan Academy?"

Xiao Yan's face darkened at the sight. Even for him, fighting five at once would be tricky.

"Yan Alliance killed my younger sister, blood for blood!"

Liu Qing, wielding the mountain-splitting spear, charged at Xiao Yan, followed closely by Lin Xiu Ya and the others.

"I regret the accidental killing of students."

Xiao Yan sighed deeply, and the Dou Qi within him suddenly surged rapidly, his aura rising from a 3-Star Dou King to a 7-Star Dou King in one breath!

"Sky Fire Three Mysterious Changes!"

This was a secret technique infused with Rank 7 Beast Flame, combined with the Chilling Bone Flame (sub-flame).

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Within ten moves, he defeated Lin Xiu Ya and the other four with overwhelming force.

"Old Su, are these the elites of your Jia Nan Academy?"

"Even together, the five of them aren't a match for our Alliance Leader Xiao."

The Gold and Silver Elders mocked sarcastically.

"Damn it!"

Su Qian's face was grim as he glanced at the battlefield. At this moment, all the elders of Jia Nan Academy were being held back by the strongmen of the Yan Alliance, and no one could stop Xiao Yan.

"Damn it. This guy's secret technique is too strong!"

The flame knife in Lin Yan's hand was frozen into ice shards by the Chilling Bone Flame.

"I'm going all out against you!!"

Liu Qing, with blood in his mouth, recklessly charged at Xiao Yan again.

"Stubborn fool."

A trace of impatience flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He didn't want to kill needlessly, but that didn't mean he will keep ignoring someone trying to kill him.

"Slash!"

The Heavy Black Ruler, imbued with a morbid white flame, slashed down, directly cutting Liu Qing's mountain-splitting spear in half, and the immense impact sent him flying.

"Liu Qing!"

Lin Xiu Ya and Yan Hao, struggling with their injuries, flew over to catch him but were also hit by Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame, causing them both to spit blood.

"I don't want to fight a woman. Can you step aside?"

Xiao Yan's gaze shifted to the last remaining person, Han Yue, who stood there with long silver hair, looking quite graceful and beautiful.

Han Yue bit her lip and stubbornly shouted, "As a member of Jia Nan Academy, I, Han Yue, will stand and fight with everyone!"

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Xiao Yan's Dou Qi Wings flapped as he flew swiftly towards Han Yue, about to slash her.

But at that moment, a playful girl's voice rang in his ears.

"Bullying my junior sister? You're asking for death!"

"Hmm?!"

Xiao Yan instinctively turned and slashed, only to see a little girl who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old. This made him reflexively reduce his strength by a third, but Yao Chen's shocked voice echoed in his mind 'Be careful! This girl's power is terrifying!'

Xiao Yan shuddered; it was the first time he'd heard Old Yao sound so urgent. Instinctively, he enveloped his body in Dou Qi, forming a dense, white armor.

"Bang!"

The girl moved incredibly fast, not only skillfully dodging Xiao Yan's Heavy Black Ruler but also landing a punch on his stomach with her small, tender fist.

"Guh?!"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The immense force sent him flying.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan!"

Seeing the newcomer, Han Yue's face lit up with joy.

"You all go heal your wounds, leave this guy to me!"

"Hehe~ I just advanced successfully, perfect timing to test my strength!"

Zi Yan raised her small fist, her aura already at the Dou Emperor level.

Cough cough

Xiao Yan was sent flying a hundred feet away, his white armor shattered into pieces, and three of his ribs were broken. He quickly swallowed a pill, and his pale complexion improved a bit. If not for Old Yao's warning, he might have been killed by that punch. Even with his full defense, he couldn't avoid the heavy blow.

"What, what is this situation?"

"That little girl is actually a Dou Emperor-level expert?"

Xiao Yan raised his head, staring at Zi Yan in shock.

Yao Chen ' Be careful! Despite her appearance, her true form should be a Magic Beast! Her physical strength alone might even rival that of a high-level Dou Emperor who practices body techniques!'

"What's happening?"

The Gold and Silver Elders were startled, and Su Qian seized the opportunity to punch them away.

"Well done, Zi Yan!"

"After this battle, you can pick anything you want from the inner courtyard's herb storeroom!"

Su Qian was overjoyed. Usually troubled by Zi Yan's habit of stealing precious herbs, he now wished he could treat her like a treasured guest.

"Hmph, now you see how formidable I am, Old Su!"

Zi Yan said proudly, then turned her gaze to Xiao Yan. "I'm going to knock you out!"*

"Little friend, it's not tasty to eat raw herbs. How about I make you some delicious pill candies instead?"

Xiao Yan forced a friendly smile, looking like a creepy uncle trying to lure a little girl.

"No need! Someone already makes delicious pills for me!"

Zi Yan refused without a second thought.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curse inwardly: Damn! Who's the bastard that got ahead of me?

Yao Chen said sternly 'Stop fooling around, Xiao Yan! This little girl is tricky, and the Gold and Silver Elders are about to reach their limit.'

Startled, Xiao Yan instinctively looked towards the Gold and Silver Elders.

He saw that despite their combined efforts, they were gradually losing ground under Su Qian's frenzied attacks. The gap between a peak Dou Emperor and a Dou Ancestor was still immense. Even working together, the Gold and Silver Elders could only hold out temporarily.

"There's no other way. Looks like I have to use a trump card!"

Xiao Yan took out a communication jade token and crushed it.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire area.

"Hiss~ This aura... a Dou Ancestor expert?!"

Everyone's faces changed drastically.

"Oh? It's actually him. I didn't expect Xiao Yan to call this person over."

Hiding in the shadows, Yun Tianming, with his Soul Perception, quickly recognized the newcomer.

A few years ago, when he infiltrated the Black-Corner Region to assassinate Han Feng, a Dou Ancestor expert arrived after the battle, hoping to take advantage. Yun Tianming had foreseen this and retreated decisively to avoid a fierce battle.

"Die!"

Su Qian focused his power to finish off the Gold and Silver Elders in one blow, but unexpectedly, a twisted space appeared behind him. A large hand emerged and struck him heavily from behind!

"Ugh!"

Caught off guard, Su Qian was hit, coughing up blood and severely injured!

"Well~ As expected of the Grand Elder of Jia Nan Academy, you managed to avoid a fatal blow at the crucial moment?"

From the twisted space emerged an elderly man in a yellow robe with a kindly smile. Many from the Black-Corner Region recognized his identity.

"Black Emperor Sect Master, Mo Tian Xing?!"

"The Alliance Leader Xiao actually called out a Dou Ancestor expert?"

The members of the Yan Alliance were greatly astonished, as even they were unaware that Xiao Yan had this hidden trump card.
