Chapter 409: Xiao Yixian Takes A!

  "Nan Yanran, today’s duel ends in my defeat. However, reement is far from over. Three years from now, I, Xiao Yan, will asd Yunn Mountain once again!"

  The hoarse voice of "Xiao Yan" echoed across the vast pza, reag everyone’s ears.

  "What’s going on? Why did Xiao Yan suddenly cede? Just moments ago, he seemed to have the upper hand!"

  "From his earlier performance, even if Nan Yanran’s move is much strohan her Wind’s Final Su Glow, he shouldn’t have to cede ht!"

  "Judging by Xiao Yan’s tone, he seems unwilling to accept this oute. Could there be more to this situation?"

  Hearing Xiao Yan’s admission of defeat, the invited powerhouses watg the duel couldn’t help but murmur among themselves in fusion.

  Amid the puzzled gazes directed at him, "Xiao Yan" suddenly sprouted massive, bone-white wings from his back, lifting himself into the air. Without looking back, he flew away from the Yu.

  "What is the meaning of this? Why has he chosen not to fight?"

  Nan Yanran, seeing Xiao Yan’s as, looked more bewildered than anyone else present.

  At this moment, she had already eled over half of her Dou Qi energy into her Sky Severing Sword Teique. The energy had reached its peak, and even she could no longer suppress it.

  With Xiao Yan g, she redirected the energy toward the vast, blue sky. In an instant, a thin crack was carved into the void itself.

  “Damn it! Though he ceded, he didn’t show any clear signs of defeat. This will lead others to specute that our Yu pressured him into submission…”

  "Xiao family brat, stht there!"

  Watg Xiao Yan fly away from the pza, Xiao Yixian grew increasingly furious.

  A cold shout echoed across the pza as Xiao Yixian’s figure transformed into a streak of white light and disappeared from where she stood.

  In the moment, she reappeared in front of Xiao Yan, blog his path.

  "You io stop me?" Xiao Yan’s sharp gaze fixed on the suddenly appearing Xiao Yixian, his brows furrowing.

  "Xiao Yan has already ceded, so why is she chasing after him now? Could it be that his cession truly hides something deeper?"

  "It’s possible. sidering this girl’s incredible strength, it’s natural for Xiao Yan to feel intimidated and not dare to fight her."

  "Perhaps his remark about ahree years wasn’t directed at Nan Yanran but was a veiled warning to this poison-cultivating girl!"

  Hearing this, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma were the first to grow suspicious.

  "Isn’t she the sed disciple taken in by Elder Gu He? Her seniority is on par with Senior Brother Liu."

  "Judging by her speed and the aura she unleashed, she’s no ordinary figure!"

  Many spectators, unaware of Xiao Yixian’s true strength, were simply astonished by her terrifying speed.

  "Xiao Yan, do you think you just leave like this?" Xiao Yixian’s icy voice cut through the air.

  "What do you want?"

  "Xiao Yan" looked serious. This seemingly 17-year-old girl in front of him gave him aremely dangerous feeling.

  "You vowed before the duel to let life ah be decided by fate, yet every time you’ve relied on the power of another’s soul to fight. And now, without any expnation, you simply cede, leaving those unaware of the truth to specute. Your shamelessness knows no bounds!"

  Xiao Yixian sneered. "Since you won’t expin yourself, allow me to help you!"

  "The power of another’s soul? What does she mean by that?"

  Xiao Yixian’s words weren’t loud, but they were clear enough to be heard by everyone present. Many were puzzled by her accusation.

  "I had my suspis about this before, but it seemed too far-fetched. Now it seems that the soul of that legendary senior may truly reside within Xiao Yan!"

  Fa Ma’s deep-set eyes gleamed as he gazed expetly at "Xiao Yan." He was the first to uand the implication behind Xiao Yixian’s words.

  As for everyone else, they remained filled with fusion and bewilderment, including Nan Yanran, who inwardly pondered in surprise:

  "What does Sister Xian’er mean by her words? Whose soul power did Xiao Yan borrow?"

  At this moment, under tless watchful gazes, the intercepted "Xiao Yan" wore an expression of deep plexity. Just as he was about to offer an expnation, Xiao Yixian's palm suddenly radiated a terrifying yer of gray Dou Qi energy and struck directly toward "Xiao Yan's" chest.

  Her palm moved as fast as lightning, but before most people could eveer what was happening, "Xiao Yan" swiftly raised his hand to meet her attack head-on.

  "Boom!"

  When "Xiao Yan's" palm collided with Xiao Yixian's, the surrounding space at the point of impact began to fracture. A powerful shockwave of energy erupted, its massive pressure f some of the ordinary disciples of the Yu in the pza to colpse onto the ground.

  Oher side, Liu Ling quickly geed yers of protective energy to shield Qing Lin from the ining shockwave.

  Seeing the terrifying energy fluctuation caused by the csh between "Xiao Yan" and Xiao Yixian, Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and Hai Bodong were left in plete shock.

  "The sheer destructive power and momentum of their casual exge... These two must have reached the Dou Aor realm!"

  "Dou Aor... This girl is Gu He's disciple. If even his disciple has reached the Dou Aor realm, then what must Gu He's cultivation level be now?"

  "A sect possessing two Dou Aor experts... Unimaginable!"

  "Don’t fet, Yun Shan's lifespan hasn’t ended yet. If he’s still alive, it’s highly likely he could break through to the Dou Aor realm as well. That means the Yu now potentially has three Dou Aor powerhouses."

  The trio on the high ptform, upon finishing their specutions, wore expressions of unease.

  Jia Xingtian, in particur, looked extremely troubled. The Yu was a sect of the Jia Ma Empire, and he was the guardian of the Jia Ma imperial family. With the Yu now possessing such strength, the imperial family's power would be utterly insignifit in their eyes.

  "All disciples, evacuate the pza immediately!"

  Following the energy csh, Yun Leng and the other Yu elders quickly ahe evacuation of the remaining disciples.

  Nan Jie, Mu , and other spectators also left their stos, flying to hover over a bamboo forest outside the pza.

  "Yanran, keep your distance for now a Xian’er hahis matter!"

  Liu Ling, while guiding Qing Lin toward an outer ptform he grand hall, shouted toward Nan Yanran, who was staring bnkly at the events unfolding in the sky.
