A deep green Dou Qi storm, with Feng Qing'er at its core, suddenly erupted, with silver lightning flickering within the storm.
The Dou Qi storm quickly expanded to over ten yards in size, and the energy pressure emanating from it made the onlookers' eyes widen.
They couldn't imagine that Feng Qing'er could create such a vast and mighty storm just by using the Dou Qi within her body.
The storm generated a suction force, pulling at the surrounding silver trees, and the ground constantly trembled, with cracks appearing.
"Is this Miss Feng's true strength?"
"Terrifying! No wonder she's the most promising of the younger generation in the Four Pavilions."
"I feel like I'll be torn to pieces by the storm in the next second. Fighting Miss Feng is just too devastating."
Streams of Dou Qi light appeared as everyone tried to resist the suction force, their hearts filled with shock.
Keep in mind, they weren't even being specifically targeted by Feng Qing'er.
"The sharpness of the wind and the ferocity of the lightning are almost perfectly fused. Hiss... This is going to be a tough fight."
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and suddenly noticed a streak of colorful light shooting towards him.
The colorful light was charged with lightning power and moved at incredible speed.
Xiao Yan quickly changed his hand seals, causing the space in front of him to slightly distort. After the light passed through, its direction shifted, grazing his shoulder.
But even in that brief moment, Xiao Yan's hairs stood on end.
The colorful light turned out to be a ribbon made of multicolored silk. After passing Xiao Yan, it seemed to have a life of its own as it turned around and shot back at him.
Xiao Yan took a few steps to the side, ignited flames in his hand, and decisively reached out to grab the ribbon as it passed by.
The ribbon suddenly tightened, and a bell-like sound emerged from the storm.
The two of them began to wrestle with the ribbon as a link.
However, facing two Dou Ancestor-level experts, the ribbon was clearly under too much strain, and cracks began to appear, eventually splitting apart from the middle.
In the next moment.
A large number of colorful ribbons surged out from the storm, along with Feng Qing'er's cold and sharp command, "Rainbow Phoenix Light!"
The sound of "whoosh whoosh" was incessant as countless colorful ribbons covered the sky and came sweeping toward Xiao Yan.
Looking at the overwhelming scene, Xiao Yan's right hand grasped empty air, and a faint light flashed from his ring. The Heavy Black Ruler then fell into his palm.
"Six Merging Roamer Ruler!"
He wielded the Heavy Black Ruler, creating illusions of it, with continuous impacts transmitted through the ruler to his hand, and the urgent sound of collisions echoed in his ears.
The tremendous force from Xiao Yan's body was transmitted through his feet into the ground, causing cracks to appear around him. His body continued to sink, with his knees submerged in the dirt.
From the perspective of the onlookers, they realized that Xiao Yan's figure had vanished.
Screech!
Feng Qing'er formed hand seals, and countless ribbons coiled back into the air, quickly forming a gigantic colorful phoenix that was about ten yards in size.
The Dou Qi storm surrounding her body dissipated, revealing her form. Feng Qing'er pointed at the colorful phoenix, and a drop of crimson blood shot from her fingertip, landing on the phoenix.
"Wind Killing Finger!"
Suspended in mid-air, Feng Qing'er's skirt fluttered, resembling a goddess, her demeanor noble and proud.
She pointed at the pit where Xiao Yan had vanished, as if a celestial being was passing judgment.
The crowd, who had been captivated by Feng Qing'er's beauty, was suddenly alarmed upon hearing her words, their expressions showing shock.
"Wind Killing Finger, one of the most powerful Dou Techniques of the Wind Lightning Pavilion!"
"To make Miss Feng use this move so quickly, she must be truly enraged."
"It seems that the outcome will be determined by this move."
The crowd held their breath and became fully focused.
Even the four elders in the stands had their expressions slightly tense and were exceptionally attentive.
A beam of light shot from the phoenix's mouth, piercing through the air and landing in the pit.
Boom!
The ground trembled, and dirt was thrown into the air.
Some of the weaker individuals struggled to maintain their footing and fell to the ground.
Is Xiao Yan okay?
With curiosity, the crowd looked into the pit. As the dust settled, the situation inside became visible.
The terrifying beam of light stopped in front of a beautifully blooming Fire Lotus.
Xiao Yan held the flame with one hand, pressing forward to extinguish the beam while sending the Fire Lotus out.
"He actually withstood the Wind Killing Finger."
Venerable Lei was somewhat incredulous. As one of the top killing moves of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, he was well aware of the power of the Wind Killing Finger.
He originally planned for Feng Qing'er to use this move to win first place in the current tournament.
However, not only did she not use it against Mu Qing Luan, but it was also blocked by a brash young man.
"Old friend's insight is still as sharp as ever."
Venerable Feng was slightly distracted. He knew that this Fire Lotus was definitely not Yao Chen's work.
So, it's highly likely that this kid developed it on his own. Such insight must have been noticed by the old friend in that remote little city in the Northwest.
It's a combination of fate's play and a bit of the old friend's foresight.
Boom!
The Fire Lotus exploded halfway through, sending shockwaves that dispersed the colorful phoenix.
Feng Qing'er immediately raised a shield, but against the terrifying Fire Lotus, it didn't hold for long before shattering.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"I underestimated you."
Standing on the back of the colorful phoenix, Feng Qing'er bit her jade finger hard and then pressed it onto the phoenix's back, saying, "From now on, I won't hold back. Bloodline Devouring Spirit!"
With a cold command, a red glow erupted from her palm, enveloping the entire colorful phoenix. The phoenix then quickly shrank and transformed into a red light that she absorbed into her mouth.
Feng Qing'er's body trembled slightly, and a pair of colorful phoenix wings unfolded from her back. At the same time, her aura surged dramatically.
In an instant, Feng Qing'er's rank increased from 1 Star Dou Ancestor to 3 Star.
"Damn, this is going to be a huge problem. My Sky Fire Three Mysterious Changes doesn't have a follow-up."
Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine. With Sky Fire Three Mysterious Changes, he was only at 2 Star Dou Ancestor.
"But giving up without fighting until the last moment is not my style."
Xiao Yan looked up at the colorful phoenix wings in the sky. Flames ignited on his arm, covering the Heavy Black Ruler like a liquid.
"Celestial Phoenix Sacred Image, Devour the Heavens and Earth!"
Feng Qing'er's eyes were devoid of any emotion as she raised her arm and pointed towards Xiao Yan.
Immediately, the illusory black phoenix behind her flapped its wings and charged towards Xiao Yan as if revived.
"Flame Devouring Wave Ruler!"
Xiao Yan gripped the Heavy Black Ruler with both hands, raising it above his head as flames surged high, reaching over ten yards.
As he swung his arms, the black ruler covered in flames descended, and a terrifying wave of flames erupted from the ruler.
In an instant, the flames collided with the black phoenix.
Buzz!
The two forces clashed, creating ripples of energy that generated a whirlwind spreading outwards.
The onlookers' clothes were flapping loudly, their eyes squinting against the fierce wind. They had to shield their eyes with their hands to see the activity in the square through their fingers.
"No wonder you had to personally conceal her aura; it turns out she's from the Heaven Demon Phoenix."
Venerable Feng narrowed his eyes, flashing with dangerous light, and looked towards Venerable Lei.
"Heh, to force Qing'er to this extent, this Xiao Yan is indeed impressive."
Venerable Lei smiled as if he felt nothing, "Venerable Feng, I advise you not to be impulsive. You might not fear my Wind Lightning Pavilion, but the Heaven Demon Phoenix—I'm sure no one in the Central Plains is unaware of how domineering that race is."
"So, you are threatening me?"
Venerable Feng suddenly smiled, "If anything were to happen to Xiao Yan today, the Falling Star Pavilion will officially declare war on your Wind Lightning Pavilion!"
