221: Earth-level high-level fighting skills created by Lin Xiu

Aside from the Sect Master and a few Elders, the other members of the Three Sect Alliance were already kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably from fear.

Yun Yun gazed at the black mist in the sky, her jade hands tightly clenched, her nails digging into her palms, but she seemed to feel no pain.

"A Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill, this is not far from a Heaven Rank Fighting Skill."

She felt her body swaying, as if she could collapse at any moment.

She had originally planned to go to the Central Plains to improve her strength, and then return to the Gama Empire to rebuild the Yunlan Sect once she became powerful.

But now, all those plans and arrangements were irrelevant.

She could almost start thinking about what to say when she met her teacher later.

"Teacher..."

Just then, a clear yet bewildered voice came through.

A moon-white figure sped from a distance, her Dou Qi wings flapping behind her as she rushed over.

"Yanran, you've come out of the Gate of Life and Death?"

Yun Yun was stunned as she saw the beautiful figure revealed after the sword light dissipated.

"Teacher, what happened to the Yunlan Sect?"

After Nalan Yanran nodded, she asked her biggest question.

She had only been in seclusion for a few years, but why did it feel like a very long time had passed, and the Yunlan Sect was almost gone?

"Yanran, the Yunlan Sect is finished. You, I, we will probably be gone soon too."

The joy that had appeared due to Nalan Yanran's emergence quickly receded. Yun Yun looked up at the sky, a bitter smile on her lips.

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran felt a tingling sensation in her scalp, and her heart was filled with shock.

Was her teacher really not joking with her?

After her defeat to Xiao Yan, she resolutely chose to enter the Gate of Life and Death, enduring countless trials, and after several years, she finally emerged, possessing the Peak strength of a Dou Wang.

She had been thinking it was time to find an opportunity to fight Xiao Yan again.

But what had she just heard?

Gone?!

Not only was the Yunlan Sect going to be gone, but she too would be gone, and even her teacher couldn't change the outcome?

"Teacher, I'm dreaming, right? Tell me, I'm really dreaming, aren't I?"

Nalan Yanran's voice trembled, unable to accept this reality.

If coming out of seclusion meant death, then what was the meaning of all the hardship and sweat she had put in these past few years?

"I know this truth is cruel, but that's how it is. That's a Fighting Skill comparable to a Di-Rank High-Rank, being unleashed by three Dou Zong powerhouses. We can't resist it."

Yun Yun pulled her Disciple into her arms, her palm resting on Nalan Yanran's somewhat thin shoulder. It wasn't hard to imagine how much hardship Yanran had endured these past few years, and she felt a deep sense of unease.

If she hadn't agreed back then, and Yanran hadn't gone to the Xiao Family to annul the engagement, would they not be in this situation today?

A Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill? Three Dou Zongs?

Every word that fell into Nalan Yanran's ears made her delicate body tremble.

She had only been in seclusion for a few years, but why did it feel like decades had passed?

When did Dou Zongs become so easily seen in the Gama Empire?

And a Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill, was this really not a joke?

"Teacher, who is fighting them? Is it the Ancestral Master?"

Nalan Yanran looked up, her red-rimmed eyes fixed on Yun Yun.

"No, it's Lin Xiu."

Yun Yun shook her head.

"Who is he?"

Nalan Yanran was slightly startled, a little confused.

Yun Yun didn't speak. Explaining this matter would be a long story, and now was clearly not the right time.

"Oh, if you ask me, can't you have a little faith in Lin Xiu? You spent half a year with him, don't you understand Lin Xiu?"

Zi Yan picked her ears, feeling very strange listening from the side.

If this continues, are you two planning to reveal your deepest secrets to each other before you die?

Zi Yan didn't know about the matters between Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, and Yun Yun.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have spoken, but would have silently watched the two of them pour out their grievances and innermost thoughts.

That scene would surely be very interesting.

"Do you think Lin Xiu can still turn the tide? That's a Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill! Do you understand the meaning of Di-Rank High-Rank?"

Nalan Yanran looked at Zi Yan's small stature, thinking she was just a little girl and therefore didn't quite understand the meaning of the words 'Di-Rank'.

"Nonsense. Lin Xiu knows not dozens, but certainly more than a dozen Di-Rank Fighting Skills. I often spar with him, how could I not understand?"

With her arms crossed, Zi Yan's expression was a little displeased, wanting to punch this newly appeared woman.

"She is a Dou Huang."

Yun Yun pulled Nalan Yanran's hand and whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran's pupils constricted, and she took a deep breath, her chest rising and bumping hard against her teacher's chest.

Fortunately, both were quite soft, so no one was hurt.

Seeing that Zi Yan, who was most familiar with Lin Xiu and had a very close relationship with him, wasn't panicking, Yun Yun's expression softened a little.

"Does he really have a way?"

She looked at the faint, flickering figure in the black mist.

"Venerable Skyfire can perceive the outside situation and quickly reminded him, worried that the young man might be fearless and not understand the principle of 'where there's life, there's hope'."

"No need. I also want to see how powerful a Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill truly is."

Lin Xiu did not accept his suggestion.

"No, Lin Xiu, a Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill is definitely not an ordinary Fighting Skill. Although the Five Round Li Fire Method can unleash power comparable to a Heaven Rank Fighting Skill, the prerequisite is that you must possess Fire Spirits condensed from four types of Heavenly Flames. You only have the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame now, which is completely insufficient. It would be very difficult to even unleash Di-Rank High-Rank power."

Yao Tianhuo thought Lin Xiu was overly confident in his Fighting Skill and couldn't help but feel a drumbeat in his heart.

Although the Five Round Li Fire Method was his own creation, he knew its actual power best.

Even the claim of being comparable to a Heaven Rank Fighting Skill was something he had boasted about.

Because even at his Peak during his lifetime, Yao Tianhuo had not controlled two types of Heavenly Flames, and the flames that condensed Fire Spirits were just ordinary Beast Flames.

He wished he could slap himself twice. If he hadn't boasted back then, would Lin Xiu have listened and left now?

"Venerable Skyfire, you've misunderstood. I didn't plan to use the Five Round Li Fire Method. What I'm really going to use is a Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill that I created myself."

Lin Xiu's tone was calm, without any fluctuations, as if he was stating something extremely ordinary.

Hmm?!

However, Yao Tianhuo, upon hearing this, almost had his brain crash, his Soul nearly unable to suppress the fierce Soul.

I didn't hear wrong, did I?

A Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill, created by him?

Heavens, how long has this little fellow been Cultivating, and he can already create a Di-Rank Fighting Skill? And a Di-Rank High-Rank one at that?

A string of words choked in Yao Tianhuo's heart, and he felt an urge to vent them.

Just as he was about to severely scold Lin Xiu, planning to wake him up with a tirade, he suddenly stopped.

Because in his perception, the Aura of this world suddenly changed.

The surrounding Void Realm trembled, and the Dou Qi floating in the air, at this moment, was like gunpowder with a lit fuse, beginning to boil.

"This, this..."

Having created the Five Round Li Fire Method, Yao Tianhuo had often used it. When he activated the Formation with five Fire Spirits, similar fluctuations to this situation would appear.

And in this state, the Five Round Li Fire Method indeed possessed the power of a Di-Rank High-Rank Fighting Skill.

Now, Lin Xiu seemed to have achieved it too. His opening move had the shadow of the Five Round Li Fire Method, yet it was also somewhat different.
