Chapter 336: Xiao Yan's Shamelessness Trying to Burn a Skirt with Heavenly Flame?
Xiao Yan watched as the golden and cyan radiance bloomed before him, a sly smirk curling at the corner of his lips.
The Mysterious Yellow Flame he had concealed within his Heavy Ruler was his trump card. As an Heavenly Flame, harming an opponent was ridiculously easy.
Especially when that opponent was an unprepared woman. The explosion's impact gave Xiao Yan absolute confidence that he had won this Three Year Agreement battle!
However, as he observed the disciples of Yun Lan Sect and the surrounding crowd, he suddenly felt something was off.
Their gazes weren't filled with shock or fear but rather held a mocking amusement.
It was like a group of spectators watching a clown perform on stage…
Wait
Did that mean they were treating him as a mere joke?!
A terrible premonition surged through Xiao Yan's heart as his eyes snapped toward the explosion site.
As the brilliant light faded, a single black silhouette remained standing within the dust cloud. It was none other than his Heavy Ruler, which had embedded itself into the cyan stone floor, leaving behind deep, web like cracks.
The sheer force of the explosion had been immensely powerful.
But
The real question was… where was his opponent?!
Where was that wretched woman?!
Nalan Yanran, who should have been exposed before the crowd where was she?!
Xiao Yan's face changed instantly.
"Not good!"
Just as the thought struck him, he suddenly felt a shadow looming over him.
He looked up abruptly.
And in that moment, his throat clenched, and he swallowed hard in disbelief!
Because right there blocking out the sun, floating effortlessly in the sky was none other than Nalan Yanran!
She was completely unharmed.
Her silky black hair danced in the wind, and her long dress fluttered gently, making her look like an immortal fairy descending from the heavens.
But what truly shook Xiao Yan to his core was the cyan wings extending from her back
Not a flying Dou Technique.
But real, solid, Dou Qi Wings!
An absurd thought raced through Xiao Yan's mind
Nalan Yanran had already reached the Dou Wang level?!
Impossible!
How could she, with just three years of training, have become a Dou Wang?!
Xiao Yan had endured countless near death battles, trained under Yao Lao's relentless guidance, and absorbed two monstrous Heavenly Flames
And yet, he had only reached the peak of the Nine Star Da Dou Shi realm.
But Nalan Yanran…?
Had she been toying with him this entire fight?!
Realizing this, Xiao Yan's face twisted in rage.
So all this time, she was just playing with him?
"A Dou Wang?"
Even Yao Lao, who had been watching in the shadows, was shocked.
"She reached Dou Wang in just three years? Is the Yun Lan Sect's 'Gate of Life and Death' really this miraculous?"
Xiao Yan, however, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"So what if she's a Dou Wang?! I, Xiao Yan, will not back down!"
Yao Lao: …Are you serious?!
You might not fear death, but I don't want to get dragged down with you!
Seeing no point in holding back, Xiao Yan revealed his own trump card.
With a powerful flap of his back, a pair of emerald green wings burst forth!
"Dou Qi Wings?!"
The disciples of Yun Lan Sect gasped in shock.
"No, those aren't real Dou Qi Wings. It's just a rare flying Dou Technique. Looks like he had some lucky encounters!"
The sect's elders calmly explained.
"Oh~ so it's fake?!"
Xiao Yan: …Your whole family is fake!
Under the dazzling rays of the setting sun, Xiao Yan levitated midair, his gaze locking onto Nalan Yanran as he smirked.
"I must admit, I didn't expect you to be a Dou Wang already. But…"
As he spoke, a golden yellow flame suddenly ignited in his palm.
"But I, Xiao Yan, am not afraid. Today, we fight to the death!"
Below, Gu He's eyes widened in shock.
That golden yellow flame
A Heavenly Flame?!
Gu He's expression twitched uncontrollably.
As a Sixth Tier Alchemist, he didn't even own a single Heavenly Flame…
Yet this brat had one?!
This was an insult to his existence!
If this weren't a formal duel, he would have pinned Xiao Yan to the ground and beaten him until he coughed up the flame!
Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes flickered with caution.
The reputation of Heavenly Flames was well known throughout the continent.
She still remembered the battle between Jia Ma Empire and the Snake People Tribe, all because of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Had it not been for Wu Tian, who was righteous, kind, elegant, heroic, powerful, wise, charismatic, and absolutely flawless…
The Jia Ma Empire would have fallen that day.
It was because Wu Tian wielded the Green Lotus Core Flame that he had managed to force Jia Xingtian, a Dou Huang Peak expert, into a humiliating defeat.
And now
Xiao Yan also had a Heavenly Flame?!
Even though Xiao Yan was only a Da Dou Shi, while she was a Dou Wang, she still didn't dare underestimate him.
Not because of his strength, but because of the nature of his flame
It was too troublesome.
Especially for a woman like her…
If she weren't careful and got hit by that flame…
Her clothes might burn away!
The thought sent a shiver down Nalan Yanran's spine.
Unlike Jia Xingtian, who was an old monster with no shame, she was a dignified lady!
If her delicate body were to be exposed before so many people…
She would rather die on the spot!
At that moment, Nalan Yanran hesitated.
She wanted to continue fighting.
But she also feared that Xiao Yan might aim for her clothes…
After all
Xiao Yan clearly had the intent to disgrace her!
He had no honor!
He was shameless enough to try burning her dress with his Heavenly Flame!
Yet, despite this realization, no one could interfere.
This was their Three Year Agreement.
If anyone stepped in, the duel would be invalid, and their engagement would remain unbroken.
That was the last thing either of them wanted!
So
This was their own battle for dignity.
Watching the scene unfold, Yun Shan smirked coldly.
No matter who won
Both of them were just clowns in his grand scheme.
Nalan Yanran's gaze turned sharp as she focused on Xiao Yan.
A soft wind swept through the air, carrying a few fallen leaves across the vast square.
After a long moment of silence
Nalan Yanran finally moved.
Her piercing gaze locked onto Xiao Yan with a look of pure disgust.
Then, with a delicate motion, she reached up and slowly removed the jade green ribbon binding her long hair.
As her silky black hair cascaded down, framing her snowy shoulders and slender waist, the scene was so breathtaking that it felt as though moonlight had been scattered across the battlefield…
