185: Volleying, half-step Dou Zong Han Feng

The surrounding crowd pointed at Lin Xiu, whispering to the people next to them, discussing in low voices.

Their words were mostly not optimistic.

Han Yue, holding Zi Yan in her arms, heard the discussions of those people, and her expression turned slightly cold.

"A bunch of short-sighted fools, sitting in a well and looking at the sky, they don't know how big the gap between a true Genius and an ordinary person is. If they knew that Lin Xiu alone could suppress Elder Yin, they probably wouldn't think this way."

She murmured in her heart, a little anticipation stirring within her.

When her junior displays his strength later, this group of people will surely be shocked.

The discussions didn't last too long; as Lin Xiu made his move, they vanished without a trace.

Chirp! Chirp!

Lightning flashed, carrying Lin Xiu's figure, like an instant shift, appearing before Han Feng in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

A gasp of surprise rang out from the surroundings, clearly startled by Lin Xiu's speed.

This speed was already comparable to a Dou Zong.

Sometimes, a speed advantage can be particularly important, even affecting the balance of victory and defeat.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats as they looked at Han Feng.

With such fast speed, could he react in time?

"I knew you had perfected the Three Thousand Lightning Movement; would I not be prepared?"

Without the slightest panic on his face, Han Feng saw Lin Xiu appear, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly.

"Radiant Seal!"

A dazzling beam of light lit up above Han Feng's head, and a massive handprint emerged within it, descending directly towards Lin Xiu.

The handprint was like a solar flare falling from the sky, carrying a terrifying energy.

Boom!

Lin Xiu's figure was covered by the handprint, falling vertically, and a loud bang erupted upon contact with the ground.

"He lost too quickly."

"He didn't even last a single move against the Medicine Emperor; where did this kid get the nerve to challenge him?"

"Just by looking at that handprint from afar, I felt a tightness in my chest and difficulty breathing."

The onlookers whispered incessantly.

This was Maple City after all, Han Feng's territory, and everyone's fear and respect for Han Feng came from their bones.

Moreover, the strength of both sides was evident; after taking a close-range hit, unless Lin Xiu possessed a Demonic Beast-like physique,

Otherwise, he would definitely be injured, perhaps even severely.

However.

After some low murmuring, these people realized that Pharmacist Emperor Han Feng had not become relaxed; on the contrary, his expression was still tense.

Upon noticing this, many people felt strange.

Because many people could feel the power within that handprint from afar, how could a newly advanced Dou Huang, struck at such close range, remain completely unharmed?

In mid-air, Han Feng suddenly moved a distance to the side, and the next moment he moved, a bolt of lightning swiftly streaked past.

The wind generated by the extreme speed made Han Feng's robes flap noisily.

And just as Han Feng dodged, he felt a pressure coming from his side.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, a clenched fist appeared, smashing fiercely towards his face.

Sea-blue Dou Qi, like seawater, covered Han Feng's entire body. He crossed his arms, blocking the fist that was aimed at his face.

Boom!

The ground shook again, emitting a loud sound.

Only this time, the figure suspended in the air was replaced by a young man.

His wings were primarily azure, interspersed with silver patterns, surrounded by wind, with visible electric arcs leaping on them.

There was a world of difference compared to the sea-blue Dou Qi wings.

Before everyone could exclaim in admiration, they saw the young man swoop down.

"Roar!"

A Dragon roar seemed to be heard, and a Thunder Dragon descended from the sky, smashing into the bamboo courtyard.

Powerful Qi surged, and dirt flew.

Large swathes of bamboo forest shattered into fragments, scattering in all directions.

On the rooftops, many figures leaned back, falling to the ground to take cover.

When the commotion subsided, everyone cautiously climbed back onto the eaves.

"Such a powerful attack!"

"As expected of someone from Canaan Academy; a single student's Fighting Skill has such terrifying power."

"Could Han Feng really be defeated by a newly advanced Dou Huang?"

Everyone looked at the smoke-filled area; the dust was dissipating, revealing a scene of devastation within.

"Han Feng is at the Peak of Dou Huang, so he shouldn't be killed by a single punch from Lin Xiu."

An Elder looked at Su Qian, with a questioning tone.

"His aura has weakened somewhat; he's injured, but not severely."

With his Dou Zong Realm perception, Su Qian could sense the movements below.

He murmured softly, "How did Lin Xiu's strength get so much greater? It seems that as his power increases, his strength also grows. The Starlight Body Tempering Art doesn't seem to have this characteristic."

Not having personally witnessed Lin Xiu's battle with Elder Yin, Su Qian's understanding of Lin Xiu's combat power was incomplete.

This time, he gained some insight.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"The temperature is rising; an exotic flame? Han Feng seems to be getting serious."

Suddenly, Su Qian's eyes narrowed, and his expression became focused as he sensed the rising heat in the air, pulling back his thoughts.

With the Flame Soul Separation Technique, he wasn't worried about how much trouble an exotic flame could cause Lin Xiu.

Just then, Su Qian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his expression became concentrated.

The surrounding crowd also sensed something and held their breath.

Large patches of blue flames rose from the dust, spreading outwards, constantly surging like waves.

Above the waves, a figure stood erect.

The Dou Qi wings behind him slowly dissipated, and his feet actually trod on the Void Realm, his figure not falling.

"Lin Xiu, you've forced me to fully display my strength, which is indeed quite impressive. As a reward, I will personally end your life!"

Han Feng spoke indifferently.

"Lin Xiu..."

A trace of worry flashed in Su Qian's eyes; just as he spoke a name, he saw Lin Xiu raise a hand towards him.

"Grand Elder, don't worry. A half-step Dou Zong is still not a Dou Zong. I can kill him!"

Lin Xiu's gaze remained fixed on Han Feng, but there was no panic on his face.

After all.

Compared to Medusa, Han Feng's half-step Dou Zong was far less threatening.

The onlookers, hearing Lin Xiu's words, couldn't help but widen their eyes, wondering if this young man truly understood the gap between a Dou Zong and a Dou Huang.

This was not just about the Realm of strength.

More importantly, after reaching Dou Zong, one could walk on the Void Realm as if on flat ground, and their agility and reaction speed were far beyond what could be achieved by relying on Dou Qi wings.

"You look down on a half-step Dou Zong? At least it's enough to deal with you. I hope you can still be so stubborn later, you little bastard."

Han Feng's palm flipped, and a substantial mass of Dou Qi energy gathered in his palm.

Terrifying energy seeped out, causing the surrounding space to subtly tremble.

The nearby crowd silently distanced themselves, and the Elders of the Academy also frowned.

This energy was much stronger than that of a Dou Huang, and also a bit higher than that of the so-called Elder Yin.

Splash!

The sound of waves crashing on the shore emanated, and Han Feng, dragging a sea of flames, swept towards Lin Xiu.

Flames surged, one wave covering another.

In the area near the center of Maple City, the moisture in the air seemed to be sucked dry.

Some people broke out in large amounts of sweat, their mouths dry, and when they breathed, their lungs felt like they were on fire, filled with a parched pain.

Lin Xiu did not dodge or evade; a surge of flame erupted, covering his body.

The faint flame was almost colorless.

"Fallen Heart Flame?"

Han Feng's pupils contracted, and then a great joy surged forth; this kid's luck was actually so good, he actually obtained the Fallen Heart Flame?

Excellent!

As long as he dealt with him, he wouldn't have to search for the Fallen Heart Flame within the Academy.
