Chapter 240: Victory and Defeat

As soon as Gu He appeared, Xiao Ming began to observe his expression, and as soon as he gritted his teeth and uttered the words 'Wind Fury Dragon Flame', Xiao Ming knew that Xiao Yan had been recognized.

Similarly, the change in Yun Yun's face did not escape his observation, so he knew that the Misty Cloud Sect would definitely not let Xiao Yan go easily.

Even if he was here, things would not change.

After all, the Jia Ma Empire's number one Sect also wanted to have a face, and with Xiao Yan's act of snatching the Heavenly Flame and almost killing Gu He, the Misty Cloud Sect was bound to seek justice.

Moreover, the Misty Cloud Sect's strength was actually not that bad if they were serious, other than the Former Sect Leader Yun Shan, if Yun Yun took over the Sect's great protection formation, she could also have a combat power close to that of a Dou Ancestor.

If they did not ask Xiao Yan for explanations, then Xiao Ming would really doubt that the Misty Cloud Sect had a backbone.

Taking a step back, even if they couldn't win, they would still have to show their attitude.

Gu He's words also fell on the ears of Xiao Yi Xian, who with her finger began to gently tickle Xiao Ming's palm.

"It seems that this Xiao Yan has been discovered, what shall we do next? Shall we take him away directly?"

These words were not heard by Yun Yun and the others in the slightest.

"No need, with his Master nearby, nothing will happen to him."

The act of directly taking Xiao Yan away was something Xiao Ming could do, however, that would not be in line with his goal.

...

The execution of a Di Dou Technique required the consumption of a large amount of Dou Qi, and to end it all in one go, Xiao Yan even mobilized the remaining Dou Qi within his Dou Qi Crystal, as well as squeezing all the Dou Qi energy out of every inch of his flesh and blood, thus, while enduring the extreme pain of having his body squeezed, his body began to tremble slightly.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"

Gritting his teeth and with his eyes reddening, Xiao Yan waved the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand inch by inch. A yellow light shone from the ruler, and a moment later, a fierce earth-yellow aura shot out from it.

On the field, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was almost exhausted, so he could only curl up with an ugly face and hide under the Heavy Xuan Ruler, using its tough body to resist the impact.

Above the square, Nalan Yanran was in a precarious situation. She had nowhere to hide and fell to the ground, only able to use what little Dou Qi she had left to execute her agility-based Dou Technique to dodge the incoming attacks.

As the glow dissipated and the energy subsided, smoke filled the square, and all eyes were riveted on it, awaiting the final outcome.

"Little Sect Leader..."

When the smoke cleared, it could be seen that Nalan Yanran's pale green Dou Qi armor had dissipated, and the moon-white dress covering her body had been torn, however, no intimate parts were exposed, only patches of red, swollen, and burnt skin. Her pretty face was pale, her small mouth slightly panting. She stood in the middle of the square with the longsword in her hand, her delicate body trembling, but her face was full of stubbornness. She refused to fall no matter what.

Not far away, Xiao Yan, who came out from under the Heavy Xuan Ruler's body, also looked very uncomfortable. Most of his robe was half torn and he had bruises all over his body. After getting out, he leaned on the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and just like Nalan Yanran, he was staggering but refused to fall down.

At this moment, neither of them had the strength to fight again due to the consequences caused by their previous attacks.

The entire crowd couldn't help but look at each other as they watched such a scene.

"Is this a draw?"

"I don't think so, let's take our time and wait, both of them are not seriously injured, let's see who goes down first."

After a few moments, a thud was heard and a figure fell to the ground - the winner was decided!

"Little Sect Leader... Little Sect Leader...!"

Looking at the fallen figure, all of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples had ugly faces as the fallen figure was Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Yan had refined his physique, and if Nalan Yanran wanted to compete with him in terms of who could endure the longest standing time, then she was naturally at a disadvantage.

With a bit of anger, Yun Leng slapped the stone platform hard with his palm. His face was ashen. He was already unhappy with that brat Xiao Yan, and now that Nalan Yanran had lost, it would definitely be a blow to his Misty Cloud Sect's reputation, which made him even more unhappy.

"First Elder, now what? Yanran... has already lost." A Misty Cloud Sect Elder asked with a bitter smile.

"What else can we do? Let's prepare to announce..." Indeed, losing to a Clan with a Dou Ancestor wouldn't make the Misty Cloud Sect lose much face. Now that everyone was watching and Xiao Ming was present, Yun Leng had no intention of playing tricks and was ready to announce the result when suddenly a voice transmitted directly into his ears, and the content made him pale on the spot.
