Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 348 You for your daughter, I for my girl (Alliance Leader plus more)

Inner courtyard, arena.

In the inner courtyard, the control over private fights is actually quite strict. It seems that Xiao Yan's previous fight with the Dou Ling beside Liu Fei had already violated the rules to a certain extent. If it weren't for this person who started the trouble first, he would probably have been severely punished.

Therefore, in order to avoid being criticized by the elders for such things, Liu Qing took the initiative to invite Xiao Yan to the arena for a competition. In this way, even if the elders arrived, they would never easily interfere with the fight between the two.

As expected, since Elder Liu still needed to inspect the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, he rushed over after asking questions and naturally became the Elder Huo that Xiao Yan was most familiar with.
"What?!"

After hearing the whole story, Elder Huo's expression became extremely interesting. He stared at the two figures standing opposite each other on the field in astonishment.

"You mean, that kid Xiao Yan took the initiative to accept the duel from Liu Qing?"

"Ah."

Hun Ruoruo, who had been obediently following Xiao Yan's instructions and standing by, nodded immediately and chuckled:
"Senior Brother specifically said that if it was Elder Huo who came, he would let Ruoruo tell you the whole story in advance."

Hearing this, Elder Huo's expression changed again. He sighed deeply, and became as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Oh, this kid is really confused. With his ability, if he just stayed in the inner courtyard and practiced for a while, beating up Liu Qing would be like a joke. Why would he jump out now to compete with him?"

Among all the elders, Elder Huo was definitely the one who knew Xiao Yan best. It was because of this that he understood the terrifying potential of this seemingly frivolous but actually humble and introverted young man.

But no matter what, he is really too young.
It seemed that Liu Qing had already reached the graduation age of nearly 24, which made him more than five years older than Xiao Yan!
As for the way of spiritual practice, twenty has been regarded as the golden age for rapid advancement since ancient times. How can such a long gap be filled so easily?

Hun Ruoruo looked at the old man beside her whose beard was flying due to impatience, and couldn't help revealing a cunning look. She gently stirred up her fighting spirit and plucked the long white beard -

"hiss!!"

Elder Huo gasped in pain, and came back to his senses almost reflexively, looking around for the figure of a certain little ancestor.

However, when he saw a small tuft of white beard dancing in Hun Ruoruo's palm, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then the veins on his forehead popped out.

"You are so rude, girl! I don't even have many hairs left on my beard!"

"You're still needed to host the competition, Grandpa Elder. Being distracted isn't a good habit~"

"Hmm? Girl, judging from your attitude, it seems you're not worried about that boy at all."

"whee."

Hun Ruoruo smiled playfully and said with certainty, "Senior Brother will definitely win!"

Seeing Hun Ruoruo's firm attitude, Elder Huo, who had originally had no hope, suddenly felt a little suspicious.

This girl actually thinks so highly of Xiao Yan?

Elder Huo, who knew the true strength of the girl in front of him, naturally knew what kind of judgment ability a Douhuang powerhouse whose cultivation was far superior to his and who knew Xiao Yan inside and out had. Her words were definitely of extremely high reference value!
Thinking of this, Elder Huo secretly kept a watchful eye, took a deep look at the seemingly powerless and pretty girl, then quickly flew to the front of the stage and presided over the battle on the ring.

"Is this all that Senior Brother asked me to explain?"

After Elder Huo left, Hun Ruoruo blinked and then revealed a smile that was inexplicable.

"That's not what Ruoruo said herself."

After Elder Huo briefly reiterated the rules, the battle between Xiao Yan and Liu Qing completely ignited the atmosphere of everyone in the field.

Countless students who learned about this duel rushed over with an unprecedented momentum!

"Xiao Yan, don't say I don't respect you. Once you show me the ability to make me draw my gun, I will not hold back."

On the ring, Liu Qing knocked on the gun behind him, making a crisp buzzing sound like metal colliding, and then said in a deep voice:

"From the current perspective, with your strength as a four-star Dou Ling, I'm afraid you're still not qualified enough."

Liu Qing's tone did not contain any disparaging meaning, as if he was simply stating a fact.

However, not only did the onlookers not make any noise, even Elder Huo couldn't help but nod secretly, obviously agreeing with this.

Those who can make Liu Qing draw his gun are all people whose strength and character are highly recognized by him. The word "Ba" does not only mean a domineering style, but also a kind of mentality and momentum that can move forward indomitable!
Looking at all the enemies of the same generation that Xiao Yan had encountered, perhaps only Nalan Yanran had the rudiments of this kind of artistic conception.

"No need to say more. You're doing this for your daughter, and I'm doing this for the girl I care about. There's no distinction between you and me, right or wrong."

Xiao Yan smiled, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if moving without wind.
"please."

Looking at the energy and blood power rising into the sky, Liu Qing stepped on the ground, and the fighting spirit instantly swept out like a tide. The sharp and domineering momentum instantly formed a rivalry with it.

"Okay! In that case, let me fight to my heart's content!" Liu Qing laughed loudly and stopped talking nonsense. The fighting spirit filled with a faint golden light completely dyed the ground red and gold. Then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, he attacked brazenly!
Seeing that domineering figure burst out, a trace of surprise also flashed across Liu Fei's affectionate eyes in the spectator seats.

"Big brother, he actually chose to attack proactively?"

In her opinion, with Liu Qing's strength and status, he should not choose to attack first. This action may seem like a test, but in fact, in terms of mentality, it undoubtedly shows that he attaches great importance to the enemy.

Touching her cheek, which had mostly subsided but still felt excruciating pain, Liu Fei couldn't help but feel resentful. She stared intently at the figure standing shoulder to shoulder with Elder Huo in the distance and whispered:

"Just wait. No matter what, Big Brother will never lose. Just watch how your little lover is trampled underfoot."

After saying that, just when Liu Fei was about to look away, the girl who was clenching her fist to cheer Xiao Yan up turned her head and met her gaze for some reason.

The girl tilted her head and then showed a sweet smile that made her feel ashamed.

Returning his attention to the field, Xiao Yan threw several punches in succession, which collided with Liu Qing's giant hand that was like an eagle's claw. The strange power like that of a prehistoric beast made Liu Qing's foundation shaky, and he suddenly turned into a stream of light and retreated!
"boom!"

As the sound of the arena collapsing and cracking rang out, Liu Qing gasped slightly and looked at the trembling paws in shock, with a heavy feeling in his heart.

What a terrifying power
In his perception, every punch of Xiao Yan was as powerful as a mid-to-high-level Xuan-level fighting skill!
And in his impression, there is only one person who possesses such terrifying power, and that person has become the nightmare of everyone on the inner courtyard strong list.

"There's something strange about this kid's body!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Qing suddenly urged his fighting spirit, pouring it all into his hands, which then burst out with an extremely dazzling light.

"Xiao Yan, if you want to defeat me with melee combat, you're still a long way off. However, today I'm determined to test whether your body, which is said to be as strong as a rock, can withstand my fighting skills."

With a distant shout, Liu Qing's fighting spirit swept through his ten fingers, and then turned into spiral spikes like sharp blades, slashing down fiercely.

"Big Coffin Splitting Claw!"

As soon as this fighting skill was used, there were bursts of exclamations in the arena. It was obvious that everyone was very familiar with Liu Qing's fighting skill, which was considered the strongest in close combat.

"Well done!"

Xiao Yan let out a long roar and did not choose to fight back with his fighting spirit. Instead, he slowly built up his strength again and then punched out.

A faint white light evaporated from the heavy fist, bringing with it gusts of strong wind. Beneath its plain appearance, it actually contained a terrifying and heart-pounding fist intent.

In an instant, the originally clear weather with dense clouds seemed to be affected by Xiao Yan's fist intent, and the clouds also dissipated a little.

This is called a punch to the sky!
The heavy fist and the palm claw collided with each other in an instant, raising countless dust and sweeping away the barrier, and even causing faint ripples.

"Is this the power of heaven and earth?"

Liu Qing, who was originally evenly matched with Xiao Yan, could not help but change his expression after sensing the momentum gradually gathering from the opponent's punch. He cried out in horror:
"You, you are the Dou Wang?!"

"Let's call it half."

Xiao Yan grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth, and then his eyes became fierce. The power of heaven and earth that had been gathering in his body suddenly burst out, instantly blasting Liu Qing away!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

There was a crackling sound, and Liu Qing staggered. His feet broke countless stone slabs in a row as if out of control, before he finally managed to control his body.

He struggled to get up, and when he saw the ravine that stretched for dozens of meters in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath, and his heart trembled slightly for a moment.

Liu Qing is at a disadvantage!
Seeing this scene, everyone on the field had a stiff face and could hardly believe their eyes.

How could the peerless expert ranked third on the power list actually be at a disadvantage in a competition with a freshman?
Even if it is the field that the other party is best at, this is absolutely impossible to happen!

"This boy"

Elder Huo's face was solemn, and a trace of doubt flashed across his deep old eyes.
"How on earth did he manage to mobilize the power of heaven and earth with his Dou Ling cultivation?"

With Elder Huo's Douhuang-level cultivation, he could see at a glance the state in which Xiao Yan had previously mobilized the power of heaven and earth. Apart from the Douwang-level cultivation, only fighting skills above the Earth Rank could have such power!
Could it be that this guy was using some cover-up method to secretly perform earth-level fighting skills?

With this thought, Elder Huo turned his gaze to the girl watching the battle beside him. After seeing her cheering and jumping for joy, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly and retracted the thought of asking questions.

It's probably harder to get information from this girl than to ask that guy directly.
"Good explosive power, but lacking stamina. If you can't repel the enemy with one palm strike, then you should consider retreating."

Xiao Yan casually waved his hands and slowly stepped forward, then smiled faintly and said, "The warm-up is almost over. If you don't draw your gun now, you really won't have a chance."

I originally wanted to finish writing it in one go, but it’s obviously a bit impossible. I’ll continue to update tomorrow.

　In addition, I would like to thank the leader Hiiiibikiii. I have always forgotten to write the note to thank the leader. I will make up for it for you all in every update in the future!
