179: Gold and silver!
Boom! Boom!
In the valley, two powerful Auras, as heavy as mountains and as vast as the sea, shot up into the sky.
The several Elders present, along with Han Yue, Yan Hao, and others, suddenly felt a strong pressure surge towards them like a tide.
Their breathing became heavy.
Their hearts felt oppressed.
The Dou Ling around them had their backs half-bent, their bodies trembling slightly, barely managing to stand without being crushed.
As for the Da Dou Shi, whose Realm was weaker, they were even worse off, all kneeling on the ground.
"They finally decided to come out. These two old geezers, always acting high and mighty."
Also in the valley, Han Beng felt this pressure, and his whole body was somewhat uncomfortable.
But his expression was one of a light smile.
"The Gold and Silver Duo have been famous in the Black-Corner Region for a long time. They both Cultivate the same Cultivation Technique, and their Dou Qi, though different in origin, converges to the same goal. Together, they can even hold their own against a Dou Zong. With them making a move, taking down Lin Xiu is absolutely a sure thing."
Han Beng actually held some hope for that middle-aged man; after all, he was a Dou Huang who had been famous for a long time.
It was just a pity that the speed of his defeat exceeded his expectations.
Sensing the powerful Aura, Lin Xiu's charging figure paused, his brows furrowing slightly, and his gaze lifted slightly towards the direction from which the Aura erupted.
Not far away, two figures, one dressed in gold and the other in silver, floated in mid-air, their bodies supported by Dou Qi wings.
"Elder Jin, Elder Yin, help!"
"Save me!"
Seeing the two appear, those who had been defeated by Lin Xiu seemed to see hope.
"Lin Xiu, kneel now, and this old man can spare your life for now."
The silver-robed Elder's face was stern, and his tone was authoritative, like he was issuing a command.
His eyes, like lightning, enveloped Lin Xiu's figure.
A faint pressure surged towards Lin Xiu.
"Oh no, it's The Gold and Silver Duo!"
"How could they be here?!"
"This is big trouble now. The Grand Elder can't even tell who would win against them for a while, and Lin Xiu has only just entered the Dou Huang Realm. He's no match for them at all."
"We'll find a chance to stall them later, to buy Lin Xiu an opportunity to escape. He has an advantage in speed, so maybe he can flee back to the academy."
The four Elders' faces turned pale, and their eyes held a hint of helplessness.
If it weren't for The Gold and Silver Duo appearing, who could have imagined these two would be ambushing here?
However, this also explained where their confidence in setting up this trap came from.
Evidently, it was the two old men before them!
"Two old geezers who are about to kick the bucket dare to tell me to kneel! What are you two?"
With his Soul Power at the Spirit Realm erupting, Lin Xiu directly ignored the pressure released by the other party.
He paid no attention to The Gold and Silver Duo's twitching faces, but instead cast a chilling gaze at the few people who had been knocked down earlier, "Dare to lay a hand on Zi Yan? Today, even if a Dou Zong were present, you would still die!"
Those few people heard the resolute killing intent in Lin Xiu's voice, their bodies trembled violently, and their eyes were filled with terror.
One by one, they scrambled to their feet, preparing to flee in various directions.
However.
When it came to speed, below the Dou Zong Realm, Lin Xiu feared no one; even if the opponent Cultivated Three Thousand Lightning Movement, he didn't care.
To Cultivate Three Thousand Lightning Movement to Perfection at his Realm, unless one was a true Genius, it was absolutely impossible.
"Bastard!"
"Kid, how dare you!"
The Gold and Silver Duo were greatly surprised. Seeing Lin Xiu still dare to make a move, both of them couldn't help but be furious.
But the attacks they launched were far slower than Lin Xiu's speed in creating afterimages.
Almost in a single breath, several wails echoed through the valley.
The lightning glow dimmed slightly, and Lin Xiu's figure appeared in one spot.
In front of him, the black ash remaining on the ground announced that someone might have been there not long ago.
"Not only do I dare to kill people right in front of you, I also dare to slaughter both of you!"
Completely ignoring The Gold and Silver Duo's murderous gazes, the lightning glow under Lin Xiu's feet lit up again.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three Thousand Lightning Movement!
In a blink of an eye, Lin Xiu's figure appeared in front of the closer silver-robed Elder.
"Dragon Soaring the Four Seas Strike!"
Lin Xiu's low roar came from his throat.
In his Dantian.
The Chaos nebula trembled slightly, and immense energy roared, rushing into his Meridians and surging towards his arm.
Wind and lightning alternated, firelight surged.
A giant Dragon figure, wreathed in firelight and lightning, emerged, enveloping Lin Xiu's arm.
At his clenched fist, a ferocious Dragon head roared.
Boom!
The silver-robed Elder's Dou Qi surged, his robes puffed out, and he met Lin Xiu with a punch.
Energy erupted, and circles of energy ripples appeared where the two clashed.
Everyone's eyes only saw a flash of silver light.
"What?! He actually managed to send Elder Yin flying with a direct hit?"
Han Beng's eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets.
He ran his fingers through his hair, clutching his head tightly.
The scene he witnessed with his own eyes made it completely impossible for him to accept.
Elder Yin was a top-tier expert in the Black-Corner Region who had been at the Peak of Dou Huang for many years.
Such a person, with formidable strength, had long been deeply ingrained in the hearts of those who roamed the Black-Corner Region.
Yet now, what they saw was Elder Yin, facing a One-Star Dou Huang in his early twenties, actually being sent flying.
Various exclamations echoed through the valley.
The four Elders, as well as Han Yue, Yan Hao, and others, their eyelids twitched.
Especially the latter.
Han Yue and the others knew that Lin Xiu always fought tough battles and was skilled at fighting above his Realm.
However, a One-Star Dou Huang sending a Nine-Star Dou Huang Peak flying.
This was a bit too outrageous.
After all.
This was a Dou Huang, not a so-called Fighter or Dou Master.
The stronger the strength, the higher the Realm, the greater the gap between each level.
How come, when it came to their junior brother, this theory seemed completely insufficient?
Han Yue felt a bit ashamed, her mood complex.
In contrast, the four Elders breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the outcome could still be reversed.
"Are you alright?"
Elder Jin's facial muscles twitched; he too was startled by what he saw.
"I'm fine."
The silver-robed Elder's clothes were covered in dust, making him look somewhat dishevelled, "This kid is indeed as Han Feng said, he possesses a strange strength. His actual strength isn't that great; it's likely because the Cultivation Technique he Cultivates is more Advanced, and his Dou Qi is probably close to that of an ordinary Three-Star Dou Huang."
Elder Jin nodded his chin slightly, "Then let's both make a move. Let's resolve this quickly to avoid any further complications."
"Mm."
Elder Yin responded.
Having spent their lives in the Black-Corner Region, both of them knew very well that talk of bullying the young or the weak was utterly foolish.
As long as the opponent could be dealt with, whether it was honorable or not didn't matter.
"Not good, they're going to team up against Lin Xiu! Go help!"
The Elder noticed The Gold and Silver Duo's movements, his expression changed, and they all rushed forward.
As a result, the four Elders, facing Elder Yin, were sent flying back, spitting blood, after just one palm strike.
The four Elders looked horrified.
"Do you really think this old man is a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch? Don't you even bother to look at yourselves in a puddle of your own urine."
Elder Yin glanced at them disdainfully, then ignored them and rushed towards Lin Xiu and Elder Jin, who were entangled in battle.
The four Elders' faces were ashen, and their impression of Lin Xiu unconsciously rose a few more notches.
The four of them together couldn't withstand one palm from the opponent, yet Lin Xiu could send him flying.
"Today, even if it means sacrificing our lives, we must protect Lin Xiu and ensure his escape."
One Elder's tone was resolute and firm, prompting the other three Elders to nod in agreement.
Such an excellent Genius student must not lose his life here today.
Given Lin Xiu time, in due course, he might even reach the strength of Old Dean back then.
