A terrifying blood-red aura swept across the entire square.

  Xiao Yan personally demonstrated to everyone present that Heavenly Fmes were not just tools for alchemy; they possessed special abilities that only heaven ah could bestow!

  "What kind of fme is this?! It actually turns a person into a magical beast!!" Liu Ling's face was bathed in the crimson glow, his eyes filled with horror. Could it be that Xiao Yan had taken a reverse Body Transformation Pill?!

  Gu He's expression was grave as he recalled a certain Heavenly Fme. He said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, the Heavenly Fme Xiao Yan obtained is the Ten Thousa Fme. It's said that this Heavenly Fme is the fire of magical beasts and purify a magical beast's bloodline, enhang their physique. But I never expected that a human cultivator refining it could transform their body to resemble that of a magical beast!"

  The Body Transformation Pill was a high-grade tier 7 medial pill precisely because it could grant magical beasts, who had strong bodies but weak cultivation talent, the bined advantages of both humans as. That's what made it worthy of being a high-grade tier 7 pill.

  And now, Xiao Yan was like a human-shaped magical beast! Wasn't that equivalent to a magical beast that had taken the Body Transformation Pill?! He possessed the best of both worlds!

  It was as if the Heavenly Fme came with a plimentary high-grade tier 7 medial pill! No wonder Queen Medusa wasn't willing to exge a Heavenly Fme for a Body Transformation Pill. Even if she didn't use it for her own evolution, the value of a Heavenly Fme far surpassed that of any tier 7 medial pill!

  In an instant, the situation in the arena became uable once again.

  First Elder Yun Leng's face darkened instantly. He could never have imagihat an alchemist—often ridiculed as a soft-footed shrimp, weakling, or drone—could possess suidable strength!

  Yun Yun csped her hands tightly as she watched the inteandoff in the square, suddenly unsure of whom she should be more worried about!

  After activating the Ten Thousa Fme and undergoi transformation, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with ragiions that he no longer suppressed. Fire wings unfurled behind him as he stomped heavily on the ground. The pza floor shattered instantly as a blood-red afterimage appeared before Nan Yanran, and his right hand brought the Heavy Xuan Ruler crashing down!

  Nan Yanran's eyes fshed as she swiftly dodged to the side. The Heavy Xuan Ruler smashed into the ground and created a massive crater with a thunderous boom.

  "What ferocious power! This sirike is parable to that of a low-star Dou King. His physical strength must have reached that of a peak Rank 4 magical beast!"

  In that instant, Nan Yanran appeared behind Xiao Yan and unched a swift attack. A fsh of sword light streaked by in the blink of an eye.

  Just this single ray of sword light caused the hearts of all the Misty Cloud Sect disciples present to skip a beat, as if it had sshed across their own throats.

  They subsciously touched their necks.

  The sword thrust aimed directly at Xiao Yan's back, actually targeting his heart. From the moment Nan Yanran grasped the bck sword, her demeanor had ged. Yun Po Tian's Di Css Qi Method had made her ruthless and merciless. Every sword strike was aimed at a vital point.

  In that split sed, something Nan Yanran hadn't anticipated occurred. Xiao Yan actually reacted! He gently turned his body and used the hilt of the Heavy Xuan Ruler to collide with the sword tip, defleg the strike!

  This skillful maneuver caused even Dou Emperors like Yun Yun and Hai Bodong to feel a jolt in their hearts. How was this possible?!

  "It's his Spiritual Strength. Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength doesn't seem like that of a tier 5 alchemist; I feel it has reached tier 6. Moreover, his application of Spiritual Strength is simply astonishing," Fa Ma said in a deep voice.

  Xiao Yan's fire wings trembled as a mass of blood-red fmes surged toward Nan Yanran. Her jade-like hand gripped her sword and cleaved the fmes apart with a horizontal ssh, but Xiao Yan's figure had already vanished entirely.

  The sed, a bck ruler swept horizontally toward her from the side. Nan Yanran crossed her sword and sheath to block with a g, and her figure drifted backward to dissipate the force.

  Xiao Yan grinned, baring his teeth. He hefted the Heavy Xuan Ruler and pursued her with a fp of his fire wings. Upon catg up, he brought the ruler crashing down on her.

  Although Nan Yanran's speed surpassed his, she was not a Dou King after all. She couldn't fly without a flying-type Dou Teique, allowing him to seize air superiority.

  g sounds echoed tinuously from the square as a figure shrouded in bck sword energy and a blood-red silhouette taogether, their forms blurring into mere afterimages as they unleashed fierce strikes against one another.

  Boom, boom, boom!

  Explosions boomed repeatedly; the surface of the square had long been rendered unreizable. It was now marred by the deep pits smashed by Xiao Yan and the sword marks carved by Nan Yanran.

  "Expand the barrier! All sword formation disciples, retreat! Leave the square immediately!!"

  Everyone hurriedly retreated. The Misty Cloud Sect's dueling square, which was twice the size of a football field, was actually insuffit for the battle betweewo!

  Their fight had escated from the scale of Dou Grandmasters to that of Dou Spirits, even reag the peak level of Dou Spirits!

  One was the Little Sect Leader who had ehe Gate of Life ah and ied Yun Po Tian's legacy, while the other was the Little Leader who possessed the Ten Thousa Fme and tier 6 Spiritual Strength.

  "Thousand Wind Ssh!"

  Nan Yanran's eyes sharpened as she swiftly spun the bck sword in her delicate hand. A spiraling sword energy formed from densed bck wind-attribute Dou Qi took shape at the sword tip in an instant. A light cry rang out as she leaped high from the ground. The sharp sword energies iwiransf into a thin bck- lihat emitted a pierg soni as it shot toward Xiao Yan with lightning-like speed.

  A faint smile pyed on Xiao Yan's lips as he saw Nan Yanran actually jump into the air to attack him. He advanced rather than dodge, fpping his wings violently as he charged straight at her.

  Nan Yanran's sword pierced through all defenses, spilling fresh blood. Xiao Yan's left shoulder had been impaled! Scalding hot blood stained his chest.

  One must know that Xiao Yan possessed the enhas of the Ten Thousa Fme and the prote of the Mad Lion t, along with Dou Qi Armor. Ordinary attacks couldn't pee his tough body. Yet, his shoulder was still pierced uhis sword strike!

  The sed, a thunderous boom resounded as a figure was violently smmed from mid-air into the ground.

  Xiao Yan clearly had no cept of going easy on the fairer sex and ruthlessly traded injury for injury. The Heavy Xuan Ruler smmed down brutally on Nan Yanran's body.

  He then smiled faintly as he looked at his pierced shoulder. The Ten Thousa Fme fred up, and a searing pain transmitted back as it cauterized the wound!

  Gazing down from above, Xiao Yan said, "You should surrender. With the enha of the Ten Thousa Fme, my vitality is even more resilient than that of ordinary magical beasts. But you have a human body. If we tinue like this, sooner or ter all your bones will be shattered. It'll be troublesome if I 't heal you then."

  The hearts of everyone present skipped a beat. Xiao Yan's fighting style was simply too ferocious. He brazenly exged injuries with Nan Yanran, relying on the enha of the Ten Thousa Fme. Though he ierced by a sword, he had also sent Nan Yanran flying with a heavy blow.

  Xiao Yan was like a thick-skinned, brawny tank, while Nan Yanran could at most be sidered an assassin. How could she tend with him like this?!

  The dust cleared with a whoosh. Nan Yanran stood in the ter of the rge pit, looking up at Xiao Yan. After being pummeled by the Heavy Xuan Ruler a flying, blood streamed from her forehead, tinuously dripping onto her clothes and staining them red. However, Nan Yanran didn't even furrow her brows at this moment.

  Not only did she not furrow her brows, she even revealed a faint smile. That blood-stained smile actually had a unique charm to it.

  Suddenly, with a buzzing sound, the silver dragon on her bck sword emitted a white light that enveloped her entirely. To everyone's astonishment, the wounds that had left her battered and bruised after Xiao Yan's attack began visibly healing right before their eyes!

  "Hmm?! What kind of power is this?!"

  "Did she secretly e a medial pill just now?"

  Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. As an alchemist, he could say with certainty that this was definitely not the effect of any medial pill. Nan Yanran must have obtained something else withie of Life ah!

  'This power... Why does it seem a bit simir to that thing?' Xiao Yan furrowed his brows deeply, a strange glint fshing through his eyes.
