"This gamble, I'm seeing it through to the end."
Looking at Zhang Yuan's handsome face, Ya Fei lightly pressed her alluring crimson lips together, an unusual shimmer appearing in her peach blossom eyes.
"Brat, you really dared to come out." Jia Lie Bi looked at Zhang Yuan's extraordinary bearing and secretly cursed the Xiao Clan for their absurd luck, yet the chill in his heart only deepened. "Last night, you made big promises in front of everyone. Do you dare to honor them today?"
"Why wouldn't I?" Zhang Yuan replied calmly. "How does Clan Leader Jia Lie intend to seek justice for your useless son?"
Jia Lie Bi clenched his fists tightly and said coldly, "My son's way of expressing admiration toward a Xiao Clan woman may have been somewhat crude, but it did not warrant you striking so ruthlessly."
"No matter how incompetent he is, he is still my son. As his father, I cannot simply do nothing."
"Ten moves!"
Jia Lie Bi raised his hand and shouted sternly, "So that no one says I bully the young with the strong, I will give you ten moves. After that, no matter the outcome, all grudges are settled. Everyone present can bear witness."
"Do you dare?"
Zhang Yuan nodded indifferently. "As you wish."
"Xiao Zhan, you are not planning to interfere, are you?" Jia Lie Bi looked toward Xiao Zhan with a threatening tone. "If you act, I trust Brother Ao Ba Pa would not mind exchanging pointers with you."
Ao Ba Pa wore a gentle smile and was about to speak in coordination with Jia Lie Bi.
But Xiao Zhan did not even spare him a glance. He stepped back directly, yielding the field to Zhang Yuan and Jia Lie Bi.
Very few people knew about Zhang Yuan breaking through to Da Dou Shi, but Xiao Yan had already informed him in advance.
He also knew that Zhang Yuan, even as a Peak Dou Shi, had the strength to kill a late-stage Da Dou Shi. Now that he had broken through, there was even less to worry about.
As long as it was not a life-and-death battle, Xiao Zhan had no intention of stopping it.
The smile on Ao Ba Pa's face stiffened slightly, and he could only say, "Brother Xiao is magnanimous."
"Hmph." Jia Lie Bi let out a cold laugh and raised his hand, signaling the Jia Lie Clan members to retreat.
"Still laughing? I'll make you cry in a moment."
Jia Lie Bi stomped the ground. Dou Qi instantly surged over his entire body, forming a blue-green Dou Qi Armor.
Whoosh!
Without any prelude, his figure turned into a raging gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Zhang Yuan and struck out with a palm.
Very few people present could clearly see his movements. To them, it was as if he blinked and Jia Lie Bi was already in front of Zhang Yuan, palm thrusting forward.
Green Dou Qi transformed into violent wind, compressing the air around Zhang Yuan and restricting his movement.
This palm strike carried terrifying, tearing force, all concentrated in Jia Lie Bi's left hand, its target Zhang Yuan's head.
This was the strongest Dou Technique of the Jia Lie Clan. Mid Xuan Class Dou Technique, Gale Severing Palm.
"Ah!"
Some of the weaker Xiao Clan juniors cried out in shock.
No one expected Jia Lie Bi to go all out from the very start and strike with lethal intent.
They seemed to already see Zhang Yuan's head being smashed apart.
'Brat, go to the underworld and repent for your arrogance,' Jia Lie Bi laughed wildly in his heart as he fully circulated his Qi Method and mobilized his Dou Crystal.
But in the next instant, his pupils shrank violently as the sound of a heavy impact rang out.
Zhang Yuan took a step back, causing the palm aimed at his head to instead slam into his chest.
At the same time, a silver-purple Dou Qi Armor appeared over Zhang Yuan's entire body, forcibly tanking Jia Lie Bi's Dou Technique.
Zhang Yuan had no intention of hiding his true cultivation. Once he returned to the army, it would be exposed anyway. There was no need to play weak.
"Dou Qi Armor. Da Dou Shi!"
The Xiao Clan juniors erupted in shock, and immediately after, their eyes filled with admiration.
The smile on Xun'er's face deepened slightly as she subtly straightened her posture, pride swelling for the man she had chosen.
Gu Ni let out a sigh of amazement. Ya Fei had already been informed beforehand, but seeing it with her own eyes still made her heart tremble.
Zhang Yuan's figure etched itself deeply into her heart. It felt as though she was witnessing the rise of a peerless powerhouse.
Ao Ba Pa's expression froze, then a fierce killing intent flashed deep in his eyes. 'This child absolutely could not be allowed to live.'
The most shocked of all was Jia Lie Bi. He never expected his opponent to also be a Da Dou Shi.
Even if only 1-Star, it was still the same realm as his own.
He could not afford to be careless.
Jia Lie Bi's gaze sharpened as he gathered his focus.
But in the very next moment, his pupils shrank again.
Zhang Yuan endured his attack head-on and twisted his body, kicking out with a single leg.
Low Xuan Class Dou Technique, Furious Thunder Blast.
With Dou Qi amplification, it could be unleashed through hands or feet, its power depending on the user.
The thunderclap also carried a certain sonic shock effect.
Boom!
Thunder roared explosively, causing Jia Lie Bi to momentarily lose focus. When he snapped back, he saw Zhang Yuan's leg, wrapped in purple lightning, already about to strike his Dantian.
"Condense!"
Jia Lie Bi immediately withdrew his attack and fully circulated his Qi Method, gathering Dou Qi before his Dantian to reinforce his Dou Qi Armor.
Yet when Zhang Yuan's kick landed, he still felt an overwhelming force crashing into him, nearly shattering the armor.
Pfft!
Jia Lie Bi spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward by the impact.
Before he could even land, Zhang Yuan, bathed in lightning, was already chasing after him.
High Huang Class Movement Dou Technique, Divine Step Chasing Lightning.
When perfectly mastered, a Dou Shi could contend with a Da Dou Shi.
After perfecting it, Zhang Yuan subtly infused his Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, pushing its speed beyond even Low Xuan Class movement techniques, allowing him to kill low-level Da Dou Shi.
Now, with Da Dou Shi cultivation and subtle enhancement from Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, his speed was even more terrifying.
Boom!
Zhang Yuan punched forward, striking Jia Lie Bi's right chest armor and sending him flying in another direction.
He immediately pursued again, this time smashing into Jia Lie Bi's left chest.
Left arm. Right arm.
Left leg. Right leg.
Crack!
The Dou Qi Armor on Jia Lie Bi's body shattered completely as Zhang Yuan caught up once more and threw another punch.
"Ah!"
Jia Lie Bi's internal Dou Qi spiraled out of control. He was forced to reinforce his body with both hands, barely blocking Zhang Yuan's Dou Technique, only to be blasted away again.
Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered. Without anyone noticing, he injected a trace of Nine Dragon Lightning Flame through Jia Lie Bi's wounds.
Just as Zhang Yuan was about to continue the assault, Jia Lie Qing appeared beside Jia Lie Bi, striking out to clash directly with Zhang Yuan. Wind and thunder collided, erupting with terrifying power.
Jia Lie Qing grabbed Jia Lie Bi and used the shockwave to retreat into the midst of the Jia Lie Clan members, staring ahead with vigilance.
Zhang Yuan was pushed back three zhang. He landed lightly, casually flicking his sleeve and saying calmly, "What's this? Beat the young one, and the older comes out. Beat the older, and now the elder appears?"
Pfft!
Jia Lie Bi, enraged beyond restraint, spat another mouthful of blood and nearly lost consciousness.
Zhang Yuan did not let him off. He said indifferently, "Jia Lie Bi, didn't you say you would give me ten moves? Why did you stop after just one? Even counting the six moves I gave you, that's only seven."
"You!"
Jia Lie Bi raised a trembling finger toward Zhang Yuan, spat another mouthful of blood, and completely passed out.
"How boring." Zhang Yuan looked at Jia Lie Qing. "Now, do you want to fight?"
Jia Lie Qing's face was ashen. Holding Jia Lie Bi, he said, "My Jia Lie Clan admits defeat. Last night's matter is hereby settled. We take our leave."
He ordered two disciples to carry Jia Lie Bi and immediately led his people out of the Xiao Clan.
Ao Ba Pa, seeing this, offered Xiao Zhan a half-mocking congratulations and also departed with his men.
"Cousin Zhang Yuan is amazing!"
"Cousin Zhang Yuan is too strong!"
"Heavens, Cousin is only sixteen and already a Da Dou Shi!"
"He didn't just reach Da Dou Shi. He crushed the Jia Lie Clan Leader."
"I think even the Clan Leader might not be stronger than Cousin."
"I think Cousin is already the number one of our Xiao Clan."
The Xiao Clan juniors erupted into cheers, sounds that were unbearably grating to the Jia Lie and Ao Ba Clan members as they left.
The Xiao Clan guards and elite disciples did not shout, but their smiles were impossible to hide.
Who could have imagined that Zhang Yuan was not only a 1-Star Da Dou Shi, but could violently suppress a 3-Star Da Dou Shi like Jia Lie Bi.
The Xiao Clan was truly about to rise.
