260. Dealing with the Underworld
Instead of being angry, Venerable Huangquan laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, only a terrifying chill.
Xiao Yan's actions once again surprised and shocked everyone.
Behind Xiao Yan, Mu Qingluan instinctively covered her lips with her hand. She was clearly shocked by Xiao Yan's arrogant act.
Mu Qingluan couldn't help but murmur, "Teacher, where did you find such a fearless senior brother?"
Having just escaped Xiao Yan's control, Feng Qing'er even began to doubt her ears when she heard Xiao Yan declare war on the Yellow Spring Venerable. Although she hated Xiao Yan to the core at this moment, she did not expect that he would dare to challenge the Yellow Spring Venerable so soon.
"What a fool!" Feng Qing'er cursed inwardly.
No matter how arrogant Xiao Yan's previous actions and words were, they were ultimately limited to the competition among the younger generation. Now, he has taken the initiative to challenge the Dou Zun of Huang Quan Pavilion, and his courage far surpasses that of all the young people present.
He had only provoked a Dou Zun, and even if Feng Zun wanted to protect him, there was no longer a suitable reason for him to do so.
After all, it was Xiao Yan who took the initiative to provoke him first, and tens of thousands of people on the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range witnessed it firsthand. At this moment, even if Venerable Huangquan were to attack Xiao Yan, there would be nothing to criticize.
However, Venerable Huangquan did not rush to attack Xiao Yan. Instead, he asked Venerable Feng, "Venerable Feng, is this how you usually teach your disciples?"
At this moment, both the Sword Venerable and the Thunder Venerable sat in their seats, seemingly unconcerned.
Originally, Lei Zun Zhe had some reservations about Xiao Yan humiliating Feng Qing'er, but compared to what was happening now, those reservations were nothing at all.
Venerable Wind seemed oblivious to what had just transpired, simply replying, "Since this brat shows no respect for his elders, then Venerable Yellow Springs shall punish him accordingly."
Sword Venerable and Thunder Venerable, who were standing to the side, were also taken aback by Wind Venerable's answer. Wind Venerable's actions had once again greatly surprised them.
He seemed completely indifferent, but now that Venerable Huangquan had received Venerable Feng's words, it was perfectly justified for him to take action against a junior like Xiao Yan.
It can be said that as long as Venerable Huangquan doesn't kill Xiao Yan directly, Venerable Feng can no longer protect him.
Sword Venerable looked at Thunder Venerable with some confusion, while Thunder Venerable helplessly shrugged, indicating that he didn't understand either.
What they truly couldn't understand was: where did Venerable Wind get such confidence?
Although Venerable Huangquan is not as strong as Venerable Feng, he is still a genuine two-star Dou Zun.
Although they hadn't fully grasped Xiao Yan's strength, they roughly knew from their previous encounters that he was only at the level of a high-star Dou Zong.
The gap between a high-star Dou Zong and a two-star Dou Zun is like an insurmountable chasm; Xiao Yan has no chance of remaining undefeated in a fight.
The Wind Venerable painstakingly planned this situation; if in the end he only wanted his subordinates to be crippled by the Yellow Spring Venerable, it doesn't seem reasonable at all.
The two Venerables, Sword and Thunder, racked their brains but couldn't figure out how this mysterious person in the audience could resist Venerable Yellow Springs if Venerable Wind didn't make a move.
Having obtained Venerable Wind's consent, Venerable Yellow Springs revealed a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
"Alright, alright, no matter who you are, I'm going to teach you how to be polite to your elders today, on behalf of your teacher."
Xiao Yan, however, remained unconcerned by Huang Quan's reprimand, saying, "You have neither the right nor the ability to teach me a lesson on behalf of my teacher."
If Xiao Yan's actions earlier were merely a provocation against Venerable Huangquan, this now borders on insult.
The onlookers had become somewhat numb to the situation; they couldn't imagine what Xiao Yan wouldn't dare to do. Even if Xiao Yan were to fight three Venerables in the next moment, they would find it quite reasonable.
At this moment, Venerable Huangquan had no other expression on his face. If one did not know him, one might even think that he was particularly calm.
However, the gathering of heaven and earth energy around him revealed his unease at this moment. Xiao Yan had truly angered this Dou Zun with his actions.
Unlike the other pavilions that value their reputation, the Yellow Springs Pavilion has a poor reputation. However, this is a choice made by Venerable Yellow Springs himself, as bad reputation is also a form of fame.
At this moment, Xiao Yan dared to humiliate him in such a way. If he did not respond, he would have no place to stand in Zhongzhou in the future.
There is no possibility of this matter being resolved amicably today!
"Kid, I don't know what kind of fame you need, but using me as a stepping stone is the worst decision you've ever made!"
Before Venerable Huangquan could finish speaking, he had already appeared in front of Xiao Yan like a black streak of light.
Huang Quan Venerable threw a simple punch, but Xiao Yan felt as if the power of heaven and earth was rushing towards him, and the vast energy of heaven and earth roared in like waves.
A Dou Zun powerhouse can already mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to a basic extent. To fight against him is like fighting against heaven and earth. One star after Dou Zun is like heaven and earth!
Xiao Yan's eyes were extremely solemn at this moment. Fighting a Dou Zun expert could be life-threatening if he was not careful.
He blocked with both hands, and the black vortex on his right hand flashed and disappeared.
The surging, violent energy sent Xiao Yan flying with a single punch, the immense force causing him to stagger backward in mid-air.
The attack hit its mark, but the Yellow Spring Venerable's expression did not improve, because he felt that although he had struck Xiao Yan, most of the power of the attack had been absorbed by a strange entity.
"Something's strange..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Huangquan reappeared in front of Xiao Yan. His right thumb suddenly turned black, with dark battle qi swirling around it. His five fingers curled up and down like five wild ink dragons, aiming straight for Xiao Yan's head.
Yin Jiao Claw!
Before Venerable Huangquan launched his attack, the fire-attribute Dou Qi beside Xiao Yan suddenly became frenzied, and his original strength as an eight-star Dou Zong suddenly reached the level of a nine-star peak Dou Zong.
Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, Red Lotus Transformation!
As his internal fighting spirit increased, Xiao Yan reversed the fighting spirit ruler in his hand and threw it at the pursuing Venerable Huang Quan!
Heavenly Ruler, Shattered Abyss!
The Heavenly Desolation Ruler, which had been invincible before, was instantly crushed when it touched the five fingers of the Yellow Spring Venerable.
However, with this collision, the five fingers of Venerable Huangquan also paused, and Xiao Yan used the energy that burst out in the middle to quickly retreat.
However, a Dou Zun expert is not so easy to deal with. Huang Quan Zun's left hand was like a black rainbow, slashing horizontally towards Xiao Yan's head!
