254: So, are you threatening me?

A deep cyan Fighting Qi storm, with Feng Qing'er at its core, suddenly rose, interspersed with flashing silver lightning within the storm.

The Fighting Qi storm instantly expanded to dozens of feet, and the energy pressure emanating from it made the onlookers widen their eyes.

They couldn't imagine that Feng Qing'er could create such a vast and majestic storm simply by relying on the Fighting Qi within her body.

A suction force emerged from the storm, pulling at the surrounding silver trees, and the ground constantly trembled, with cracks appearing.

“Is this Miss Feng’s true strength?”

“It's terrifying. As expected of the most promising young talent in the Four Pavilions.”

“I feel like I'd be torn to shreds the next second if I faced that storm. Fighting Miss Feng is simply too tragic.”

Streaks of Fighting Qi light emerged, everyone resisting the suction force, their hearts filled with shock.

One must know, they weren't even Feng Qing'er's specific targets.

“The keenness of wind and the ferocity of lightning, achieved in an almost perfect Fusion. Hiss... this will be a tough battle.”

Xiao Yan inhaled sharply, suddenly catching a glimpse of a ray of colorful light shooting towards him.

That colorful ray was filled with lightning power and moved at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao Yan quickly changed his hand seals, and the Void Realm in front of him subtly twisted. After the colorful ray passed through, its direction shifted, grazing his shoulder.

But even in that brief moment, it made Xiao Yan's hair stand on end.

The colorful ray was actually composed of a colorful silk ribbon. After passing Xiao Yan, it seemed to possess Life Qi and turned back to shoot at him again.

Xiao Yan took a few steps to the side, flames igniting on his hand. When the ribbon passed by, he decisively reached out and grabbed it.

The colorful ribbon suddenly tightened, and a bell sound rang out from the storm.

The two began to compete in strength, using the colorful ribbon as a link.

However, facing two Dou Zong experts, the colorful ribbon was clearly somewhat overwhelmed. With fine cracks appearing, it broke in the middle.

The next second.

A large number of colorful ribbons, along with Feng Qing'er's sharp, delicate shout, erupted from the storm, “Colorful Phoenix Returns to Origin!”

Only the incessant “whoosh whoosh” sounds could be heard as countless colorful silk ribbons, like a sky-covering torrent, swept towards Xiao Yan.

Gazing at this grand scene, Xiao Yan made a grasping motion with his right hand. A faint light flashed from his ring, and immediately after, the Mysterious Heavy Ruler landed in his palm.

“Six Harmonies Roaming Body Ruler!”

He wielded the Mysterious Heavy Ruler into a blur of illusions, continuous impacts transmitting along the ruler to his hand, and the rapid sound of collisions echoed in his ears.

A terrifying force from Xiao Yan's body traveled through his feet into the ground. Cracks appeared on the ground around him, his body constantly sinking, his knees submerged in the mud.

From the perspective of the onlookers, everyone found that Xiao Yan's figure had disappeared.

Caw!

Feng Qing'er formed hand seals, and countless colorful ribbons rolled back, returning to mid-air. In an instant, they condensed into a colorful Phoenix, dozens of feet in size.

The Fighting Qi storm surrounding her body dissipated, revealing her figure. Feng Qing'er pointed a finger at the colorful Phoenix, and a drop of crimson blood shot from her fingertip, landing on the colorful Phoenix's body.

“Wind Kill Finger!”

Suspended in mid-air, Feng Qing'er's skirt fluttered, like a goddess, her demeanor noble and arrogant.

She pointed a finger at the pit where Xiao Yan had disappeared, as if a celestial maiden was passing judgment.

The onlookers, who had been mesmerized by Feng Qing'er's beauty, were suddenly startled and showed expressions of horror upon hearing her words.

“Wind Kill Finger, one of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's most destructive Fighting Skills!”

“For Miss Feng to use this move so quickly, she is truly angry.”

“It's likely that the outcome will be decided in this one move.”

Everyone held their breath, becoming fully focused.

Even the four Venerables in the stands had slightly solemn expressions, paying extra attention.

A beam of light shot out from the colorful Phoenix's mouth, whooshing out, traversing space, and landing in the pit.

Boom!

The ground trembled, and dirt flew up.

Some weaker individuals, under this impact, even struggled to stand steady and plopped down onto the ground.

Was Xiao Yan alright?

Everyone looked towards the pit with curiosity. After the dust settled, the situation inside was revealed.

The terrifying beam of light stopped before a beautiful Fire Lotus.

Xiao Yan, holding the flames with one hand, pressed forward, annihilating the beam of light and simultaneously sending out the Fire Lotus.

“He actually withstood the Wind Kill Finger.”

Venerable Lei was somewhat incredulous. As one of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's few great killing moves, he was very clear about the power of the Wind Kill Finger.

He had originally planned for Feng Qing'er to use this move to win first place in this conference.

As a result, not only did she not use it on Mu Qingluan, but it was also blocked by some greenhorn.

“My old friend's vision is as sharp as ever.”

Venerable Feng was slightly lost in thought. He knew very well that this Fire Lotus move was definitely not Yao Chen's handiwork.

Therefore, there was a high probability that this young man had figured it out himself. Such Comprehension Ability, to be discovered by his old friend in a remote small city in the Northwest Region.

It was both the capriciousness of fate and a part of his old friend's discerning eye.

Boom!

Mid-flight, the Fire Lotus exploded, and the surging Qi waves dispersed the colorful Phoenix.

Feng Qing'er had already erected a light shield at the first opportunity, but facing the terrifying Fire Lotus, it didn't hold up for long before shattering.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.

“I underestimated you.”

Feng Qing'er stood on the back of the colorful Phoenix, biting her jade finger hard with her pearly teeth. She then pressed it onto the colorful Phoenix's back, “Next, I will no longer hold back. Bloodline Devouring Spirit!”

As her cold shout fell, a red light erupted from her palm, enveloping the entire colorful Phoenix. After that, the colorful Phoenix rapidly shrank, transforming into a red light that she absorbed into her mouth.

Feng Qing'er's delicate body trembled, and a pair of colorful Phoenix wings unfurled behind her. At the same time, her aura also rose steadily.

In an instant, Feng Qing'er advanced from a One Star Dou Zong to a Three Star Dou Zong.

“Damn, this is big trouble. My Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations has no follow-up.”

Xiao Yan felt his scalp tingle. Even with the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, he was only a Two Star Dou Zong.

“However, giving up without fighting to the last moment is not my character.”

Xiao Yan gazed at the seven-colored Phoenix wings in the sky. Flames ignited on his arm, covering the Mysterious Heavy Ruler like liquid.

“Demon Phoenix Avatar, Devouring Heaven and Earth!”

Feng Qing'er's eyes no longer held any trace of emotion. She raised her arm and pointed at Xiao Yan.

Immediately, the illusory black Phoenix appearing behind her flapped its wings, rushing towards Xiao Yan as if resurrected.

“Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!”

Xiao Yan gripped the Mysterious Heavy Ruler with both hands, raising it above his head. The flames surged, reaching over dozens of feet high.

As he waved his hands, the black ruler covered in flames descended, and a terrifying ribbon of flames shot out from the ruler's body.

In an instant, the flames and the black Phoenix collided.

Buzz!

The two energies were in a stalemate, and circles of energy ripples erupted at the collision point, unleashing a hurricane that swept in all directions.

The onlookers' clothes rustled, and they couldn't even open their eyes, having to shield them with their palms and peer through their fingers to see the commotion in the square.

“No wonder you personally concealed her aura. So she's from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.”

Venerable Feng narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashing, as he looked at Venerable Lei.

“Hehe, to force Qing'er to this extent, this Xiao Yan is indeed impressive.”

Venerable Lei chuckled, as if he felt nothing, “Venerable Feng, I advise you not to be impulsive. You may not fear my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, I believe no one in the Central Plains would not know how overbearing this clan is.”

“So, you're threatening me?”

Venerable Feng suddenly smiled, “If Xiao Yan suffers any mishap today, Starfall Pavilion will officially declare war on your Wind and Thunder Pavilion!”
