BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Each Showing Their Trump Cards



"My goodness! Senior Sister Yanran's 'Green Wood Sword' has already reached perfection!"

"How is it that Senior Sister Yanran's 'Green Wood Sword' seems far more powerful than even some of the elders'?!"

Just a single move of the Low Xuan Class 'Green Wood Sword' unleashed an energy surge that sent the surrounding spectator disciples tumbling in all directions.

Xiao Yan let out a shout, circulating the Dou Qi within his body as a terrifying fire-attribute energy erupted forth.

"Since you're using your old move, I'll respond with the same."

Octane Blast-Ten Thousand Beast Collapsing Fist!

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!! Ear-splitting beastly roars erupted from Xiao Yan's fist. A mass of blood- red flames condensed around his right fist. Just as he had done three years ago, he punched straight toward the gigantic green wind sword.

"Holy shit! This guy's insane! He's trying to block it with his bare fist!"

The blood-red fist slammed heavily into the tip of the wind sword. In the next instant, a fiery mad lion burst forth from the point of impact. The terrifying flaming lion shattered all the Dou Qi, and a hidden force transmitted through Nalan Yanran's weapon into her body.

Nalan Yanran's expression remained calm as she sensed the incoming hidden force. Xiao Yan's punch was something she had simulated in her mind countless times, constantly seeking a way to counter it.

She narrowed her eyes and, retreating swiftly, withdrew her sword. Leveraging the inherent speed of wind-attribute Dou Qi, she fully unleashed her agility, using softness to overcome hardness. By retreating, she dissipated the force and nullified the impact of the erupting hidden force.

The instant she retreated, Nalan Yanran stretched out her left hand and waved her jade-like palm. The whirlwind from the shattered 'Green Wood Sword' rapidly condensed into numerous small wind swords in the air, all stabbing toward Xiao Yan.

Taking advantage of the gap in Xiao Yan's attack, she recreated the broken Dou Technique in another form. She had long anticipated that Xiao Yan would be able to break through the 'Green Wood Sword'.

One could only wonder how many times Nalan Yanran had rehearsed this battle in her mind.

Xiao Yan drew out his Heavy Xuan Ruler and thrust it diagonally into the ground with great force as he saw countless wind blades flying toward him like a rain of swords blanketing the sky.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The innumerable wind blades struck the Heavy Xuan Ruler one after another like wind swords. The powerful impact force pushed Xiao Yan backward, his feet leaving two deep grooves in the ground.

"Break!" Xiao Yan let out a cry as he violently swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand, instantly shattering all the wind swords.

"This kid is formidable even in cultivation!" Fa Ma looked at this brief exchange in shock. This wasn't some weakling like Mu Zhan, but the Little Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect!

Mu Zhan, observing the battle from afar, was equally dumbfounded. He was not only astonished by Nalan Yanran's terrifying strength but even more shocked by Xiao Yan's monstrous talent. How could he be so exceptional in both alchemy and cultivation? Did he have forty-eight hours in a day?

"Their strength seems evenly matched," he murmured.

"No, look more carefully," Mu Chen, who was at the Dou King realm, said in a deep voice. Crack! Crack! Crack! With a resounding snap, the sword in Nalan Yanran's hand shattered inch by inch, destroyed by the hidden force from Xiao Yan!

The disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect witnessed this scene and felt their hearts shatter along with the sword. The weapon of their goddess Nalan Yanran was actually broken in that brief exchange!

"Don't worry. What Yanran gained from the Gate of Life and Death wasn't merely an increase in cultivation," First Elder Yun Leng calmly stroked his beard and said. "She is the most powerful genius in the history of our Misty Cloud Sect and will lead us back to glory."

Nalan Yanran saw the broken sword in her hand and remained silent. She simply stored the shattered sword back into her storage ring and drew out a sword with a black scabbard and black hilt.

She took a deep breath as Dou Qi armor enveloped her entire body. A set of cyan and red Dou Qi armor covered her from head to toe. Her cultivation had actually reached the 8-star Dou Grandmaster stage!!

However, Xiao Yan had anticipated this. After all, Nalan Yanran had not only obtained a Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill but also the Four Lines White Spirit Pill he had refined. Half of her rapid advancement was thanks to him.

'If I accidentally lose, half the credit goes to me,' Xiao Yan mused to himself.

"Xiao Yan, once this sword is unsheathed, even I can't fully control it," Nalan Yanran said with a hint of hesitation.

Xiao Yan rested the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his shoulder with a resounding clang. He replied, "I didn't mind selling you medicinal pills to increase your cultivation. Do you think I'd be afraid of a mere sword? My Heavy Xuan Ruler is no ordinary weapon either. I'd feel bad if you didn't have a formidable weapon to match."

"Since when did you become such a worrywart? Hurry up; Xun Er is still waiting for me to return to the academy."

Nalan Yanran naturally remembered Xun Er. After all, Xun Er had been sitting beside Xiao Yan back then. Her striking beauty and temperament had left a deep impression on her.

She no longer hesitated and grasped the hilt of the sword.

With a clear sword cry, Nalan Yanran unsheathed her sword. A black-colored sword with a silver dragon running down its center instantly emerged from its sheath.

Nalan Yanran's entire demeanor transformed the moment the black sword was unsheathed. She was suddenly enveloped in a murderous aura that sent chills down one's spine. The surrounding cyan whirlwinds transformed into streaks of black killing intent that circled around her body like something tangible. Each streak exuded a ruthless and merciless energy that made people feel as if they were drenched in blood!

"Impossible! A black sword with a silver dragon! That sword is-!" Jia Xing Tian's expression changed dramatically. A black sword with a silver dragon reminded him of a legendary figure's weapon!

Fa Ma's eyes grew solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Mm, that should be the 'Cloud Slaying Black Sword' wielded by Yun Po Tian. It's rumored to be a killing sword forged from the Monster Core of a Rank 8 magical beast."

At this moment, Hai Bodong glanced at the calmly smiling First Elder Yun Leng on the field. No wonder this fellow was so composed and had even sent out invitations to the entire Jia Ma Empire to witness this event. It turned out that Nalan Yanran had received Yun Po Tian's inheritance from the Gate of Life and Death!

He intended to use Nalan Yanran to intimidate the entire Jia Ma Empire. This Yun Leng had no small ambitions!

'I worked so hard collecting Heavenly Flames to evolve the Flame Mantra to the Di Class, while this girl obtains a Di Class Qi Method just by entering a sect's secret realm once. It's really unfair,' Xiao Yan thought to himself. What concerned him more was the quality of Dou Qi that Nalan Yanran was now emanating.

It was definitely not something a High Xuan Class Qi Method could produce, especially that black sword intent. The Qi Method Nalan Yanran was now cultivating likely surpassed even the one Yun Yun cultivated.

The unsheathing of the black sword made one's blood run cold. This wasn't merely a sword but rather a weapon that seemed to have emerged from the depths of hell itself. When Nalan Yanran grasped this black sword, it appeared to simultaneously activate the Qi Method she cultivated, transforming her into a dark, luminous figure filled with killing intent and then/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

aura of death.

It was evident that, much like the Flame Splitting Tsunami, the black sword in her hand was a set with the Qi Method and Dou Technique she cultivated!

"Truly worthy of being Yun Po Tian's companion sword. Its killing intent is overwhelming and terrifying beyond compare." Upon seeing the black sword unsheathed, countless Dou Spirits and even Dou Kings felt a chill run down their spines. This was the true terror of the Misty Cloud Sect, the depth of their foundation.

The Misty Cloud Sect had indeed been glorious in the past!

Xiao Yan set aside his dismissive gaze upon witnessing Nalan Yanran's imposing aura. Undoubtedly, this girl had grown immensely after being defeated by him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to obtain Yun Po Tian's legacy. In all these years, only

she had managed to obtain it within the Misty Cloud Sect!

"Very well then, I won't play around with you anymore."

Mad Lion Chant-Blood Fury, Beast Transformation!

ROAR!! The Ten Thousand Beast Flame surged out from every cell in Xiao Yan's body. In an instant, blood-red flames enveloped him entirely, forming the image of a raging blood-red

lion.

His muscles rapidly bulged as if all the power sealed within him was suddenly unleashed at

this moment.

The Ten Thousand Beast Flame was fully activated. His hair stood on end like steel needles, revealing a pair of ferocious fangs. His jet-black, pearl-like pupils transformed into beast- like eyes.

"A Heavenly Flame!! This is the power of a Heavenly Flame!!"
