Chapter 324: Two-Star Great Dou Master Xiao Yan vs. Four-Star Great Dou Master Nalan Yanran!
Boom!
The Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer and the Qing Lan Sword violently collided, but after a brief hesitation, the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer, with its unmatched and terrifying power, directly sent the green-armored girl flying. As the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer wielded by the Fire-patterned Black Armor spun around and was about to strike down, it missed, sending debris flying. The green-armored girl, using the momentum, flipped backward and landed firmly about ten meters away on a stone slab, her sword-arm trembling slightly.
"What?!!"
"It's not over in one strike?"
"Xiao Yan actually withstood it?"
Some people in the crowd, just snapping out of their amazement at the dazzling Fire-patterned Black Armor, were deeply shocked by the sight of Xiao Yan's strike sending the green-armored girl flying.
"Clearly, Xiao Yan follows the path of power, so it's normal for him to send Nalan Yanran flying. But Nalan Yanran actually chose to take the full-on strike from such a heavy warrior. That was rather unwise," an equipment master in the crowd analyzed, shaking his head.
Even Xiao Yan himself was almost under the illusion that he could smash her with a single blow: 'That woman is so fragile?'
However, some in the crowd had a different opinion. Yuan Bao looked at Hai Bo Dong and the others beside him, then grinned, "I'm saying, could it be... Nalan Yanran is testing Xiao Yan's strength?"
"By the way, where's Junior Brother? The fight has already started, but he's nowhere to be found," Yuan Bao added as the "sponsor" of Nalan Yanran. He knew her fighting style well, having always been aware of Xiao Yan's potential. While making the Qing Lan Armor, he had made sure to supply enough materials. However, even with the most ample materials, Nalan Yanran needed to know where her limits lay.
This "Three-Year Agreement" that had caught the attention of all forces within the Jia Ma Empire had, in fact, been subtly altered by Jiang Lin into a technical showcase of the Jia Ma Refining Guild.
If before, no one had a clear understanding of the full armor under the Feather Wing, then now, the battle between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran would certainly refresh everyone's understanding of combat across the Jia Ma Empire!
This peak battle of the Great Dou Master stage would inevitably drive all forces into a frenzy! Just like...
When Jiang Lin first arrived at the Refining Guild and shocked the entire Jia Ma Imperial City with the Feather Wing!
"A body at the late second stage..." The green-armored girl rubbed her slightly numbed wrist. The energy cultivation level of the Fire-patterned Black Armor was that of a Two-Star Great Dou Master, which was a very impressive realm. After all, she had a three-year head start and had consumed various opportunities, yet she was only a Four-Star Great Dou Master! What really surprised her, however, was that the Fire-patterned Black Armor's physical realm wasn't far behind either!
The green-armored girl herself was at the early second stage, but thinking of the legendary refining master behind the Fire-patterned Black Armor who could send out bagfuls of body refining crystals, she calmed her heart slightly.
"Second stage body?" Xiao Yan, within the Fire-patterned Black Armor, slightly raised an eyebrow. He realized that his strength was barely superior to Nalan Yanran's, with his second-stage physical body combined with his Two-Star Great Dou Master cultivation, barely overpowering Nalan Yanran! Without Nalan Yanran's Four-Star Great Dou Master douqi support, she would at least need to reach the second stage of body training to maintain her composure!
Xiao Yan knew the terrifying power of "dual cultivation of body and technique." With the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer's gravity and hardness, he could probably heavily injure other Great Dou Masters of the same rank with a single blow! Xiao Yan initially thought he might enjoy the sensation of beating someone like Jiang Lin did with a single punch, but it wasn't quite the same. His first battle as a Great Dou Master was against Nalan Yanran, who was also a dual cultivator.
"Powerful strength, but that's where it ends." The green-armored girl's sword pointed at the Qing Lan Sword, which immediately lit up with a blue glow. At the same time, the luxurious and graceful double-layered douqi armor on her body shone with cloud-like patterns, seemingly resonating with her wind-type douqi!
"Douqi resonance! I heard that only Five-Star Xuan Qi can achieve this! To achieve douqi resonance at the Four-Star level, it's obvious that Yuan Bao has recently broken through!" From afar, an equipment master recognized the elegant symbols on Nalan Yanran's armor. This douqi resonance technique wasn't common, and Yun Yun's Four-Leaf Green Cicada Wing used douqi resonance to specialize in wind-type douqi energy. Yuan Bao had obviously learned some essence from it.
Swish!
The green-armored girl's figure flickered, turning into an afterimage as she instantly charged toward the Fire-patterned Black Armor! Her speed was so fast, it almost looked like a blue light arrow flying close to the ground. The distance of a hundred meters was crossed in the blink of an eye, and just as the Fire-patterned Black Armor's heart skipped a beat, the sword light flashed, and the Fire-patterned Black Armor only managed to create a spark with a sharp clang! However, when the Fire-patterned Black Armor tried to counterattack, the heavy Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer couldn't land on her; it only hit her afterimage!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
For a moment, the Fire-patterned Black Armor was surrounded by blue afterimages, with fire flashing sporadically!
"That speed doesn't seem like something a Great Dou Master could have." Hai Bo Dong raised an eyebrow from afar, and instinctively looked up at the woman in green robes sitting on the high platform. There sat someone whose presence could make over ninety percent of the Jia Ma Empire's Dou Kings feel helpless.
Wind-type Dou Kings in previous battles were known for their extreme speed but weren't outstanding in attacks. Yun Yun was able to secure her position as Sect Leader of Yun Lan Sect with her Three-Star Dou King cultivation because she wielded the Six-Star Xuan Qi Yun Lan Sword! With the Yun Lan Sword's collaboration, she could unleash the super-fast and deadly move, "Windfall: The Extreme of Wind," which almost decapitated the Six-Star Magic Beast, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!
How many human Dou Kings had defenses stronger than the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's crystal-tipped horns?
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King survived only because Yun Yun wasn't fast enough, and the beast's instincts managed to react. However, with the Four-Leaf Green Cicada Wing developed by Hu Lei and Jiang Lin, Yun Yun's speed was pushed to a level capable of transforming into a qualitative change!
When Medicine Dust saw the green rainbow flash in the Tager Desert, even he felt a moment of despair: unable to outrun it, unable to catch up, and the opponent had a one-hit-kill explosive skill!
If the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King took another sword, Yun Yun's sword would certainly be faster, decapitating the beast before it could react!
Boom!
Surrounded by countless afterimages, Xiao Yan decisively abandoned the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer, stepped on the explosive steps he learned from Jiang Lin, and relying on his powerful alchemist's spiritual perception, he predicted the position of the afterimage and punched directly!
Boom!
