Chapter 323: [Qilin] Jiang Lin vs [Tiger Leopard] Yuan Bao!
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a terrifying rumbling sound came from above Yun Lan Sect, immediately causing the people from all forces below to look up in attention!
"What?!!"
"What is that?!!"
"An enemy attack?!!"
A dazzling fireball, blazing with intense flames, rapidly expanded and fell from the sky, creating chaos among the crowd below as the terrifying roar of the explosion reverberated!
"Hmm?!" A woman in green robes, standing directly above the Yun Lan Sect square, looked up at the rapidly descending red fireball with a slight frown. Her blue eyes flickered with a trace of seriousness. Just as she was about to summon her douqi and rise to intercept, a voice suddenly echoed in her heart. She then silently remained seated at the front and quietly watched the fireball plummeting from the sky.
In the crowd surrounding the square, Hai Bo Dong frowned slightly. He looked up at the fireball falling like a cannonball. His heart stirred slightly, but when his gaze shifted to Xiao Yan in the center of the square, who made no movement, he hesitated. As he hesitated, the light ball plunged directly down from the sky!
Bang!
The fireball exploded a thousand meters from the ground, instantly splitting into five or six smaller fireballs!
"See? I told you it would come on its own." Xiao Yan, who was actually quite nervous internally, forced himself to appear calm, slamming the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer into the ground beside him. To his response, boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fires fell from the sky one after another, landing with immense force just five meters around Xiao Yan! The surrounding people only felt their ears ringing with thunder, their legs shaking slightly, and then saw flashes of firelight in the dust cloud!
"Damn! If it weren't for trusting Brother Lin's accuracy, I would have thought I'd be smashed to death!" Inside the smoke, Xiao Yan's heart trembled. With every flash of light and thunder shaking the air, his heart jumped. He didn't doubt that these fireball pieces could have easily killed him if they had fallen directly on him! Thankfully, he could unconditionally trust Jiang Lin's accuracy.
Though Xiao Yan was still worried about being crushed by the falling fireballs, he maintained his composure, mocking, "This time, I'm late, it won't happen again."
Jiang Lin, still high above in the sky, was overseeing everything: "..."
So, you want to act cool now?
Buzz!
Surrounded by six long fireball parts, Xiao Yan's douqi surged, creating a swirling red and blue aura around him. The whirlwind swept through the dust, and as Xiao Yan's figure became faintly visible to the outside world, the shadow in the dust coolly said, "Armor! Combine!"
Then, in the midst of the misty dust, the swirling red and blue douqi connected with the fireball parts embedded in the rubble, and with a sharp click, the six long pillars in the dust disassembled. In a perfectly coordinated manner, they attached themselves to the black figure!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of metal clanging together echoed like jade beads falling on a plate, as numerous armor pieces flew up. Even without the assistance of Medicine Dust's spiritual power, Xiao Yan perfectly attached his armor, because now he was a Great Dou Master! His douqi's quality and strength allowed him to move the fine armor pieces and complete this elegant transformation!
Moreover, beneath Xiao Yan's black clothing, he wore a special outfit. As long as the energy circuits in the armor operated, the components of the Heavenly Fire Armor would find their positions on their own!
Countless armor pieces spun around Xiao Yan, and he used his spiritual power to sense the differences, then matched them to the corresponding numbered sections of the armor.
The chest armor, leg armor, arm armor, and even the hard red-gold wings unfolded behind him like sheathed wings!
"I know this battle doesn't really have much significance," Xiao Yan said, as the dust settled in the energy vortex. The black-red armor gleamed as he raised his wrist. A few black figures flashed through the air, and with a sharp click, Xiao Yan flexed his gauntlet. A black figure landed in the sky above him, and the streamlined, black-and-red battle helmet appeared on his head. With a click, the faceplate descended, merging with the chest armor, and the red patterns connected. Two red lights lit up behind the fire-patterned faceplate!
"But I'm not here because of you. If I lose, I, Xiao Yan, will admit I'm inferior and unworthy of you, a proud daughter of the heavens. But if I win, I need you to lower that proud head and apologize to my father. From that moment on, we will have no further connection."
With his fire-patterned black armor stepping out from the rubble, Xiao Yan drew the heavily flower-engraved heavy hammer and walked forward with heavy steps, heading directly toward the sword-wielding girl in green armor.
"Regardless of win or lose, I will apologize to Uncle Xiao. My goal has already been achieved, and the rest is meaningless," said Nalan Yanran, fully armored, in a rare moment of speaking such words. Her Qīng Lán battle armor didn't have a faceplate, so Xiao Yan could clearly see her expression—one of indifference, with a touch of complexity, but mostly a cold and determined will.
In that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly understood something, chuckling lightly, and dragged his heavy Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer. He softly said to the front-facing Nalan Yanran, "I think I understand you now. Acting recklessly is the privilege of the strong, but right now, you're just not strong enough."
"Since that's the case, let's have a battle of strength. You consider yourself strong, and my purpose here has now become very simple."
"That is to tell you…"
"Please~ you're really weak."
Swish!
The Qīng Lán sword moved, cutting through the air like a rainbow. A light blue wind blade slashed straight at the fire-patterned black armor!
Boom!
The fire-patterned black armor, dragging the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer with one hand, suddenly erupted with thunder beneath his feet, shifting sideways instantly. Then, with a thunderous rumble, he made a Z-shaped advance, dodging the next two wind blades, and with a swing of the Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer, he struck fiercely at the green-armored girl!
Boom!
Two-star Great Dou Master Xiao Yan vs. Four-star Great Dou Master Nalan Yanran!
[Qilin] Jiang Lin vs. [Tiger Leopard] Yuan Bao!
