"However, perhaps it was because joy begets sorrow. What we hoped for did not happen. After his cultivation reached the peak of the Origin King level, he did not advance at all. At the beginning, we thought it was just a process of settling down, but … it was not like that. Even when the grand elder personally investigated him, he was unable to discover anything strange …"
Xiao Mingyuan sighed deeply. He raised his head again and looked at Xiao Xuan in the sky with a complicated expression. Who would have thought that after putting in so much effort, it would end up like this?
Xiao Yan softly laughed when he heard these words. He had also experienced such a situation when he was young. Now that he thought about it, the feeling of having the hopes of the entire clan turn into a bubble with a bang was something that he could understand a little. After all, it was just as Xiao Mingyuan had said earlier. This world was one where the strong preyed on the weak.
As for the first elder, it was naturally impossible for him to see anything. The Returnance Art was a Cultivation Method, and there was nothing wrong with Xiao Xuan's body. Even if his body was cut open, it would be impossible to discover anything strange.
"It was also after that that his prestige in the clan grew even lower. Even the elders in the clan rarely paid attention to him, and even those who originally supported him treated him like strangers. Some of them even ridiculed him a little. If it wasn't for his calm nature, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to continue staying in the clan."
Xiao Yan only smiled in response. It was just some side talk. They had long since treated it as nothing, so it naturally would not affect them. Now that the Returnance Art was complete, he did not want to imagine what kind of interesting expressions those people would have when they saw Xiao Xuan break through to the Origin Ancestor level.
While the two of them were talking, the atmosphere in the arena, which had gradually solidified, finally exploded at this moment!
"Chi!"
In the sky, Xiao Feng suddenly clenched his fist. Streams of wind gathered in his palm and swirled around, transforming into an illusory spear. Cool wind gathered on the spear, occasionally emitting the sound of rushing wind.
A chill surged within Xiao Feng's eyes as the long spear condensed. The long spear in his hand suddenly shook and a sharp rushing wind sound appeared. Immediately, the body of the spear twisted and directly drew an invisible dragon in the empty space. It was accompanied by a shockingly frightening wind pressure. With a roar, it wrapped around the long spear and shot explosively towards Xiao Xuan!
Xiao Xuan calmly gazed at the invisible spear rushing towards him. He lifted his right hand, and the Genesis Qi in his body began to circulate without hesitation. With a thought, an invisible sword rapidly materialized in the air in front of him. Genesis Qi rapidly poured into it, and he slashed out with the sword!
Buzz!
Two invisible forces suddenly collided in the void, and a low explosion immediately rang out. Waves of wind swept out, and the giant dragon and sword were completely buried in the wind and waves.
Immediately after, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out again. Xiao Feng's body suddenly shot out from the huge wind and waves. He held a long spear in his hand and stabbed towards Xiao Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan, let's settle the old score between you and me here!"
Xiao Feng laughed angrily. His body jerked, and an afterimage remained where he was. When he reappeared, he was already not far in front of Xiao Xuan. His long spear danced, and the wind wildly danced. The sharp sound of the wind turned into countless spear shadows that ruthlessly shot towards every part of Xiao Xuan's body!
Below, Xiao Yan scrunched his brows when he heard Xiao Feng's words. He cast a surprised look at Xiao Mingyuan and asked in a puzzled voice, "What?
"What's this? So there was already a conflict between my ancestor and Xiao Feng before this?"
"This … not necessarily. If we want to talk about it in detail, it was because of Xiao Chuhang."
"It's him again …"
Xiao Yan, who originally didn't have a good impression of Xiao Chuhang, felt even more disgusted with him.
Regarding this, Xiao Mingyuan knew that he could only smile bitterly and say,
"Xiao Feng and his brother lost their parents when they were young. Since they grew up, they had suffered a lot. As the elder brother, Xiao Feng doted on his younger brother a lot. Ever since he became the heir of the Xiao clan, he was even more so …"
"But because of this, when Xiao Xuan was valued by the upper echelons of the clan, Xiao Feng, as the heir, was given the cold shoulder. Xiao Chuhang felt that it was unfair, so he took advantage of Xiao Xuan's breakthrough to barge in. However, because Xiao Xuan's cultivation coincidentally broke through at that time, he was heavily injured by the backlash, which resulted in a conflict between him and Xiao Feng. After that, the two of them were unable to clash due to the obstruction of the upper echelons of the clan. Xiao Chuhang was also punished and focused on cultivation, which allowed him to break through the shackles of the Origin Sect. In the end, this could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Xiao Mingyuan slowly shook his head as he looked at the cold face of Xiao Feng in the sky. If he only cared about his strength as the heir of the Xiao Clan, he wouldn't be able to go far.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that Xiao Chuhang was reaping what he sowed. He raised his head and looked at the battle in the sky.
Xiao Xuan's expression didn't change in the face of Xiao Feng's fierce attack. With a twist of his wrist, countless sword images rapidly appeared around him. As he retreated, the sword images also pierced forward, colliding with the countless spears and blocking the former's attacks.
Xiao Xuan had lived for a thousand years and had experienced countless bloody battles. Compared to Xiao Feng, who had been peacefully cultivating in the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuan's battle experience was extremely rich. If the two of them were to fight, the latter would definitely not be Xiao Xuan's match.
The chilliness in Xiao Feng's eyes grew even colder when he saw that Xiao Xuan was actually so calm. He waved his large sleeve and wrapped it around the spear handle. His entire body supported the spear as he shot forward while a hurricane whistled. Even space itself was forcefully torn apart as a huge crack was formed along the way.
"Chi!"
The spear darted out like a bolt of lightning, but just as it was about to hit Xiao Xuan's chest, the latter quickly lifted his hands and formed a seal with his fingertips. Genesis Qi circulated and a cool breeze gathered, turning into an invisible sword in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, incomparably sharp sword qi surged out, causing the surrounding space to hum and distort.
"Huh?"
A wisp of surprise instantly appeared on Xiao Mingyuan's old face when he noticed the sharp sword qi. Although Xiao Xuanfeng's aura was strong, it had to be said that it was even more shocking to be able to utilize the power of the wind to emit such sharp and domineering sword qi!
"Clang!"
The invisible spear collided with the sword body, producing a crisp sound of collision. At the same time, the sword qi on the spear shot out along both sides of the spear body, tearing through space and heading straight for Xiao Feng's face.
"Hmph!"
As the sword qi shot over, Xiao Feng's expression changed. He couldn't care about the spear anymore. He waved his sleeves and released the spear body. An invisible gust of wind covered his sleeves and blocked the sword qi. At the same time, Xiao Xuan twisted his wrist, and the invisible sword in front of him collided with the invisible spear. Then, the invisible spear suddenly shattered with a crack, turning into countless whirlwinds that scattered in all directions.
"Prince Xiao Feng, since your weapon has been destroyed, I believe that this battle should have come to an end."
With a faint smile, Xiao Xuan retreated and landed on the ground below. When Xiao Feng returned to his senses, he had already seen the shattered spear. When he looked at Xiao Xuan again, his face had completely darkened.
"If you want to end this battle, you have to defeat me!"
With a low roar, Xiao Feng's body in the air shook violently. Genesis Qi surged out from his body, and in the void around him, distorted invisible curtains rapidly formed. Then, he raised his hands to his chest and interlocked his fingers in a seal. Gusts of wind also gathered above his head.
"This is … the Wind God's Fury!"
Xiao Yan's expression instantly changed when he saw this scene in the empty space. The seal that Xiao Feng was using was no different from the one that Xiao Chuhang had used in Xiao City earlier. It was undoubtedly the Wind God's Fury. However, it was fine if it was merely the battle earlier. Once the Wind God's Fury was used, it was likely that Xiao Xuan would have difficulty enduring it given his current cultivation!
"Xiao Feng, this battle doesn't have much meaning to begin with. Why are you still entangling yourself? You should know that you will be severely punished if you injure your clansmen for no reason!"
Whether it was because of the guilt he felt towards Xiao Xuan or because of Xiao Yan's existence, Xiao Mingyuan's tone was even harsher. However, how could Xiao Feng be willing to stop so easily?
"Third elder, until now, I have never admitted defeat, nor have I exhausted my strength. Therefore, the battle hasn't ended, and it can't be considered as injuring someone for no reason!"
"Xiao Xuan, if you want to end this battle, one of us must fall!"
"Wind … God's Fury!"
A vast and mighty pressure that was filled with a majestic aura spread apart. The expressions of the surrounding guards changed drastically. Numerous figures swiftly withdrew. Even some of the Elders, who were observing the battle from afar, nodded their heads slightly in response to this pressure. Regardless of how overbearing Xiao Feng's character was, there was no need to say anything about his strength. This was something that no one could deny.
"Buzz!"
Below, Xiao Yan took a step forward and blocked in front of Xiao Xuan. A powerful pressure that was not inferior to the former spread out. Immediately, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically. Just Xiao Feng's pressure alone was already so shocking. If Xiao Yan was added, the result would be unimaginable if the two of them clashed.
"Is he going to attack …"
Staring at Xiao Yan, who was about to attack, a cold light flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes. The aura on his body also became increasingly powerful.
However, in the next moment, just as Xiao Yan was about to attack …
"Huh?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. Just as he turned his head, Xiao Xuan's hand stopped him once again. Xiao Xuan's face was still calm. Before Xiao Yan could speak, Xiao Xuan slowly said,
"You have had a hard time along the way. Rest well. Let me end my own battle."
After saying that, Xiao Xuan took a dozen steps forward without caring about the expression on Xiao Yan's face. Then, under the gazes of the surrounding people, he slowly raised his right hand. As he put two fingers together, Xiao Mingyuan's expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and looked over. At this moment, a huge tornado had formed above Xiao Xuan's head in the blink of an eye, and then …
With a wave of his sword finger, the huge tornado above Xiao Xuan's head turned into a huge illusory image in the blink of an eye under the disbelieving gazes of everyone present. This illusory image was …
Fury of the Wind God!
