255. Deliberate sneak attack
In that short time, Xiao Yan had secretly scanned everyone present. The strongest person besides himself was Feng Qing'er, who was currently fighting Mu Qingluan.
He already possesses the strength of a one-star Dou Zong, and it's clear that he still has some hidden strength.
Mu Qingluan appears to be evenly matched with Feng Qing'er, but there is actually a certain gap between them. The reason they seem evenly matched now is probably because Feng Qing'er wants to conserve her strength and hasn't gone all out yet.
Xiao Yan thought: If it's just these people, it won't be difficult to deal with them, and it won't expose my strength.
Xiao Yan is currently hiding in the crowd, appearing to be fighting normally in the midst of the chaotic battle.
After all, obtaining the demon core still required Mu Qingluan's help, and that little girl was Feng Zunzhe's disciple, so Xiao Yan was willing to help her if she wanted to fight Feng Qing'er.
In order not to affect the battle situation over there, Xiao Yan is currently lingering in the crowd, but his actions are still being closely watched.
The three Venerables on the high platform had long since focused their attention on Xiao Yan, but even they couldn't discern anything about him.
The Starfall Pavilion made a grand attempt to change its long-standing rules, all in an effort to send Xiao Yan to the competition stage. Although Xiao Yan wore a ferocious mask, his strength and performance were only those of a nine-star Dou Huang.
The three Venerables have examined it repeatedly and found nothing strange. In fact, Xiao Yan's combat details are exactly the strength of a nine-star Dou Huang!
"Could it be that Venerable Wind really just wants one of his young disciples to go up on stage and experience it?"
Venerable Huangquan and Venerable Lei exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
They all originally thought that the young man sent to the stage by Venerable Feng should at least be different, or even stronger than Mu Qingluan, they could accept it, but now it seems that he is too ordinary and somewhat abnormal.
Venerable Wind, however, smiled without revealing any trace of worry, lying back in his chair without the slightest concern. In his eyes, the outcome of this battle was not in any suspense whatsoever.
Xiao Yan's soul power was already formidable, and he also had a design specifically for concealing his strength. As long as he didn't go all out, even a Dou Zun wouldn't be able to see through his true strength.
"Azure Phoenix Feathers!"
"The phoenix soars a hundred miles in the wind!"
"The wind strings produce a sound!"
At this moment, Feng Qing'er's expression was also somewhat unpleasant; Mu Qingluan had acted rather irrationally today.
From the very first exchange, they went all out, showing no mercy, unleashing one high-level combat technique after another, which momentarily threw Feng Qing'er's rhythm into disarray.
"Does this crazy woman really not care about the Starfall Pavilion's performance anymore?"
The Four Directions Pavilion Tournament always eliminates those with average strength first, and then the Four Directions Pavilion's top contenders face off in the final round.
However, today Mu Qingluan was attacking her relentlessly, disregarding everything else. Previously, she had accidentally had her hair ribbon shattered by Mu Qingluan's wind attribute attack, and now Feng Qing'er's long black hair was disheveled and hanging down.
Feng Qing'er was also burning with nameless anger. When had she ever been so embarrassed when fighting against the younger generation?
At this moment, Feng Qing'er could no longer suppress her anger. Even if it meant paying a price, she was unwilling to let Mu Qingluan go. Feng Qing'er gritted her teeth and said, "Mu Qingluan, you've brought this upon yourself. Don't blame me!"
"Wind-Slaying Finger!"
Feng Qing'er floated in the sky, her colorful dress fluttering, like a goddess, noble and proud. She pointed her jade hand at the blue figure that had been entangled with her and let out a cold shout!
As the shout fell, the figure of a colorful phoenix appeared behind him, and immediately let out a loud crane's cry. A powerful and terrifying beam of cyan-silver light quickly formed in the phoenix's mouth. In an instant, it shrank rapidly, turning into a beam of light only the size of a palm, and with a whoosh, it shot out!
As the beam of light shot out, Feng Qing'er's icy voice echoed across the sky, causing some people to change color slightly.
"Wind Kill Finger, one of the most powerful fighting techniques of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion"
As Feng Qing'er's voice fell, gasps of astonishment rippled through the square, clearly indicating that she was no stranger to this magnificent finger strike.
On the stands, the several Venerable Ones also slightly adjusted their postures, focusing some of their attention on the battle.
After all, the battle has progressed to the point where several people are needed to help. Although it is said to be a fair duel, there are likely future leaders of several major forces on the field, so they cannot be allowed to perish in such a competition.
However, the Wind Venerable, who was in the most urgent situation, sat calmly in his chair, not activating any of his battle qi, and seemed completely unconcerned, which puzzled the other three.
At this moment, Mu Qingluan's black hair fluttered in the wind, her eyes showing no panic, but rather a stubborn determination to not admit defeat. Facing Feng Qing'er's Wind Killing Finger, she remained calm and composed, taking a deep breath, circulating her internal fighting spirit, and a cyan wind-attribute fighting spirit slowly condensed around her.
With a gentle wave of her hands, the wind-attribute battle aura in the air responded to her call, forming tiny yet sharp wind blades. These wind blades spun with her movements, like a group of elegant dancers gracefully performing under her direction.
"Wind Blade Dance!" Mu Qingluan shouted softly, her voice carrying an undeniable determination.
In an instant, the wind blades seemed to come alive, spinning rapidly around Mu Qingluan and forming a huge vortex of wind blades.
Then, the cyan-silver light crashed directly into the vortex of wind blades, with a continuous clanging sound.
The intensity of the attacks from both sides had brought many battles on the arena to a halt, with everyone dodging and enjoying this clash of titans.
Mu Qingluan's attack was indeed quite good, but Feng Qing'er's Wind Killing Finger was even more ruthless, and the wind blade vortex was broken at an extremely fast speed.
The domineering silver light relentlessly assaulted the area, and at this most critical moment, a figure in the arena trembled, transformed into a black rainbow, and streaked past, heading straight for Mu Qingluan.
The battle aura was as black as ink, and at the tip of the black rainbow were two black, chilling daggers, emanating a piercing coldness.
Although this attack was not as strong as Feng Qing'er's Wind Kill Finger, it was more cunning. At this moment, Mu Qingluan was still struggling to defend against Feng Qing'er's attack. Although she sensed the sneak attack from this side, she had no strength left to resist.
The person who launched the sneak attack was Wang Chen from the Yellow Springs Pavilion. Venerable Yellow Springs had instructed Wang Chen to stop the Starfall Pavilion from winning the championship, and Wang Chen himself hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.
Mu Qingluan could not block his powerful sneak attack unless Venerable Feng himself intervened.
If Venerable Wind makes a move, then Starfall Pavilion will have to withdraw from the competition!
"Mu Qingluan, let's see what you're going to do!"
