Chapter 322: The Appointment of Yun Lan!
"Here you go, this is the Fog Lan Array identifier. You two fly low, and I'll join you shortly."
Feeling that the time was right, Jiang Lin handed over two tokens marked with the word "Lan" to Xiao Yi Xian and Mr. Yao, then with the black-red iron pillar in hand, he spread his six golden wings and soared into the sky, flames rising as he shot upwards!
Once Jiang Lin took off, Mr. Yao smiled and shook his head, then, with Xiao Yi Xian, they boarded the "Royal Eagle," which had already reached the strength of a third-tier magical beast, and flew low towards Yun Lan Sect.
"To be honest, this kid has really spread his influence well over the past year or two." On the back of the Lan Eagle, Mr. Yao looked down at the glowing Lan tokens in his hand. The craftsmanship of these tokens was clearly not Jiang Lin's work, but rather something from Yun Lan Sect.
The Lan tokens would prevent the Fog Lan Array from suppressing them, and with the identity of the Lan Eagle, the Yun Lan Sect members would not take action against them. Jiang Lin had thought of everything.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin continued to rise into the sky with the black-red iron pillar in hand, until he broke through the clouds. Once above the clouds, he slowed his ascent and stopped beneath the vast blue sky.
"The higher the sky, the more scarce the energy becomes. The buoyancy provided by the douqi weakens, and the higher you go, the greater the energy consumption. Eventually, it feels like gravity takes effect, and you can't fly out anymore." Above the clouds, Jiang Lin's six-winged heavy sword released a rich, fiery glow. If he were to turn off his fiery wings now, he would fall under a special "gravity" and crash down until he reached an area with enough energy to float again.
If the world filled with violent douqi was an ocean, then the starry sky beyond it would be weak water, offering no buoyancy, only resistance.
"If it weren't for the propulsion principle of the Feather Blade Wings, even a Dou Huang wouldn't be able to fly at this height," Jiang Lin muttered as he glanced at the vast sky, then looked down at the Yun Lan Sect below. He was now directly above it—or rather, directly above where Xiao Yan was!
Grabbing the black-red iron pillar in his hand with one hand, he spread the other in front of him, using his douqi to manifest a splendid fire lotus in his palm. After adjusting his position, he confirmed it was the right spot, then released the iron pillar.
"With the propulsion principle of the Feather Blade Wings at this height, this would be quite fun if we threw bombs onto someone's sect." Jiang Lin watched as the black-red iron pillar slowly descended through the clouds, gradually accelerating and turning red as its internal energy triggered. Its wings unfolded, entering a denser energy zone and stabilizing its speed before transforming into a fireball that fell fiercely towards the ground!
"This entrance ceremony will definitely shake the entire place. I almost got slapped to death by that old senior for this moment." Jiang Lin smiled faintly as he watched the fireball falling below, then spread his arms, his golden wings spreading and releasing light. Under the pull of gravity, Jiang Lin leaned backward and began free-falling, plummeting once again from above the clouds after releasing the black-red iron pillar!
Below the clouds, in the square of Yun Lan Sect, Xiao Yan silently watched the woman in green armor standing a hundred meters ahead of him. Her expression was complex, as in this moment, that familiar face made the connection between the Yan Xiao and Xiao Yan seem like the same person.
"Unexpected... The one who took the Medicinal Pill Contest victory, the Yan Xiao, is actually the one who made a three-year agreement with Yun Lan Sect's proud daughter... Xiao Yan." From a tree on the edge of the square, the old Nalan, with white hair, sighed, almost sounding like a passerby.
"Huh? Why didn't my little junior brother come? And where's Xiao Yan's armor? With the power of that Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer, it probably won't be able to stop my Qīng Lán set," Yao Fatty muttered to himself, scanning the crowd, looking for Jiang Lin's figure. Though the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer was slightly overpowered, Yao Fatty didn't comment, because to truly unleash the full power of the weapon, Xiao Yan needed sufficient strength.
In Xiao Yan's hands, the six-tier Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer could already unleash the power of a fourth-tier artifact, and that was impressive. But beyond that, the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer was just too heavy. Even if it were made of seventh-tier materials, it would still be difficult for Xiao Yan to break a fourth-tier artifact.
Therefore, in terms of hardness, Yao Fatty believed neither Xiao Yan nor Nalan Yanran could challenge the full potential of the fourth-tier Qīng Lán sword. Only a fifth-tier expert could potentially damage a fourth-tier artifact!
"I didn't expect it to be you." At the edge of Yun Lan Square, Nalan Yanran stood up slowly, wearing her Qīng Lán battle armor. Four light blue wings crossed behind her knees, and she held a slender blue sword.
Qīng Lán battle armor, Qīng Lán wings, Qīng Lán sword.
The aura of a Great Dou Master spread from Nalan Yanran's body. The thick yet light blue douqi armor merged with the beautiful cloud patterns, forming a new double-layered battle armor! The Qīng Lán as armor, the Qīng Sha as clothing, dual defense with physical energy!
This was the real douqi armor! Douqi and armor perfectly fused, with both physical and magical defenses! Traditional douqi armor was nothing more than a douqi shield!
"I didn't really want to use these," Nalan Yanran said, slightly turning her body. She gently wiped the blade of the Qīng Lán sword, then shook her head at the giant pillar-wielding young man in front of her.
"But you still chose to use them." Xiao Yan, holding the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer, gave Nalan Yanran a fatal illusion. He knew it wasn't an illusion—the sharpness of the Qīng Lán sword could easily cut through his energy armor!
"A free set of artifacts, why not take it?" Nalan Yanran gave Xiao Yan a complicated smile. "Put on your armor, or you might not even get a second move."
Xiao Yan suddenly looked up at the sky, a smile curling on his lips.
"No rush. Let the bullets fly for a while."
Boom!
