Chapter 1294: The Position of Sect Leader

A titanic giant, a hundred zhang tall, towered between heaven and earth. Vast Dou Qi, as boundless as the sea, emanated from within the giant, forming a thick cloud of mist. As it breathed in and out, thunder rumbled through the wind.

“Drink!” The face of the Demonic Blossom Tyrant was ashen, but his eyes were filled with a sinister coldness. His gaze locked onto Xiao Yan who was in the distant sky. From his throat, a low, harsh command burst forth: “Die for me!”

The seal in the hands of the Demonic Blossom Tyrant changed. The towering giant took a step forward, and with this single step, gales began to rage across the heavens. The roiling clouds made the very world tremble and shake.

*Boom!*

The giant stepped forward, its massive hand gripping so tightly that it seemed to seize all the energy within the world. Suddenly, blinding brilliance burst forth from its fist. With a swing, the space around it shattered, and the terrifying wind surged ruthlessly toward Xiao Yan who hovered in the sky far away.

As if guided by the energies of the world, monstrous gales coiled around the giant’s fist. Even the square on the ground cracked open with gaps as wide as arms due to the pressure. Such an awe-inspiring attack was truly worthy of a Six-Star Dou Zun-level powerhouse…

Under the immense pressure of this formidable energy giant, many weak disciples of the Flower Sect turned pale. Battles of this caliber were rare sights for them. The terrifying might, which could easily lay waste to entire mountain ranges with a single move, made their hearts tremble.

“This Demonic Blossom Tyrant is really putting everything on the line…” Some elders of the Flower Sect, maintaining their defensive Dou Qi, felt a chill in their hearts. They did not expect Xiao Yan, at the mere Two-Star Dou Zun level, to force the Demonic Blossom Tyrant to such extremes. Indeed, he was a disciple of Yao Chen.

On the square, Yun Yun’s beautiful face showed a hint of worry. Though she always believed in Xiao Yan’s abilities, anyone would be anxious when faced with such a powerful offensive from the Demonic Blossom Tyrant.

*Woo…*

Xiao Yan floated in the sky, his bone wings slowly flapping. The powerful wind pressure, even from a distance, pressed his clothes tightly against his body. The sound of the wind whistled like thunder beside his ears, as if capable of shattering eardrums.

“Is this the full power strike of a Six-Star Dou Zun?”

Exhaling softly, Xiao Yan muttered to himself. Then, raising his hand, a palm-sized destructive fire lotus slowly rotated. Despite its delicate petals, it contained true, destructive power.

“Go…”

With a light raise of his hand, Xiao Yan smiled. The fire lotus shot out, leaving a resplendent trail of flame as it charged towards the titanic giant.

“Break it for me!”

Seeing the approaching fire lotus, the Demonic Blossom Tyrant did not dare to delay. Changing his hand seal, the giant roared to the heavens, sending out terrifying sound waves that formed a colossal hurricane. The giant gripped the hurricane, and, under countless shocked gazes, took a massive step forward, swinging the hurricane to collide ferociously with the tiny fire lotus!

The collision resulted in a momentary silence, as if the entire world had frozen in place.

The momentary quiet was broken by a deafening explosion that echoed through the sky. The mountains trembled from the shockwave, reminiscent of heavenly thunder.

Following the explosion, a fiery storm swept the heavens and earth. Under the ravaging flames, the vast giant’s Dou Qi surged like water. But as soon as this energy touched the blaze, it evaporated into nothing.

*Boom!*

The fiery storm crashed into the giant’s body, making its vast Dou Qi rapidly dissipate.

“Explode!”

Taking a deep breath of the blazing air, Xiao Yan retreated quickly while shouting fiercely. As his shout faded, the devastating fiery storm finally burst forth, releasing its full power.

*Bam!*

A terrifying wave of fire slammed into the giant, pushing it back repeatedly. Its once solid form began to fade into the void.

*Peng peng peng!*

The fire wave, imbued with destructive power, spread out, the horrifying heat instantly evaporating all moisture in the environment. Under successive attacks, the giant’s form became more and more illusory until, with a muffled explosion, it shattered into nothingness.

*Puff!*

“How can this be?”

As the giant exploded, the Demonic Blossom Tyrant spat a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of disbelief. But there was no time to be horrified. The wave of destructive fire, having driven the giant back, now moved swiftly toward him. If hit, the Demonic Blossom Tyrant would disintegrate in an instant…

Swallowing his shock, the Demonic Blossom Tyrant gritted his teeth, channeling all his Dou Qi, and transformed into a flash of lightning, retreating at an incredible speed.

In a blink, he broke through the defensive Dou Qi barrier around the square. The fire wave, in front of the stunned Flower Sect elders, followed closely, crashing down with a heavy strike.

*Boom!*

The great defensive barrier shook violently, rippling rapidly, but fortunately, it did not collapse. Just as the Flower Sect elders breathed a sigh of relief, another wave of destructive fire spread out, smashing like a giant hammer into the Dou Qi shield.

*Creak!*

This time, the defensive barrier reached its limit. With a crack, it shattered open. Without the barrier, the fire wave expanded unrestrainedly. Seeing this, the faces of the Flower Sect disciples surrounding the square turned deathly pale.

*Sigh…*

Just as the fire wave was about to engulf the expansive square, a elderly sigh echoed in the sky. A figure suddenly appeared, waving its sleeves, emitting invisible ripples. These ripples collided with the fire wave, causing the two forces to erode each other until they dissipated.

“Great Elder!”

Seeing this sudden intervention, joy and surprise appeared on the faces of some Flower Sect elders.

“Xiao Yan, did you want to destroy my Flower Sect?” The white-haired old woman who had suddenly appeared in the sky looked at Xiao Yan in the distance, speaking with a tinge of helplessness.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan, who was a bit pale, felt embarrassed. He could sense the terrifying strength of this elder and dared not be disrespectful. Bowing slightly, he replied, “It was truly unavoidable. I hope you do not blame me, Granny.”

After speaking, he first took a few pills from his storage ring and swallowed them. Then, he turned his gaze to Hua Jin, who was now pale with fear. Her gaze, directed at Xiao Yan, was as if she had seen a ghost. She had never imagined that Xiao Yan could unleash such a devastating attack that even the Demonic Blossom Tyrant could not withstand.

*Shi!*

In the distance, the disheveled figure of the Demonic Blossom Tyrant returned, his face dark as he stood in the sky, traces of blood still visible at the corner of his mouth. He knew that leaving the square meant he had already forfeited. In front of so many people, he, the Demonic Blossom Tyrant, had been defeated by a Two-Star Dou Zun-level youth!

His lips twitched, and his face grew even more sinister. The gazes from all directions, like needles, made him feel deeply uncomfortable.

In the sky, Xiao Yan cast a glance at the Demonic Blossom Tyrant and ignored him. Slowly, he descended, looking at the pale Hua Jin. Saying nothing, he waved his hand, and four unusual flames appeared again…

“I admit defeat!”

Seeing the four flames reappear, Hua Jin, who was already pale, turned even paler. The Six-Star Dou Zun-level strength of the Demonic Blossom Tyrant couldn’t withstand it, let alone her. She could likely not even escape. She immediately screamed her submission.

Hearing her scream, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, opening his mouth to swallow the four unusual flames. With his current strength, he could not continuously release two destructive fire lotuses. It seemed this woman was indeed frightened by the Demonic Blossom Tyrant’s end.

Seeing Hua Jin’s surrender, the Flower Sect elders shook their heads slightly. Today’s match was truly a joke: a Four-Star and a Six-Star Dou Zun defeated by a Two-Star Dou Zun. If this were to get out, it would be a laughing matter.

“Not in vain…”

Xiao Yan turned his head, looking at the stunned Yun Yun, her lips slightly parted and her flawless face full of disbelief. He coughed lightly and smiled.

“Still so prone to showing off…”

Yun Yun, seeing the same tinge of paleness on Xiao Yan’s face, couldn’t help but glare at him, her tone a mixture of scolding and a different kind of… joy.

In the sky, the Flower Sect’s Great Elder sighed softly, turning to Hua Jin and said indifferently, “Since you’ve lost, give the Sect Leader’s jade tablet to Yun Yun.”

Hearing this, Hua Jin’s hand tightened, but she couldn’t back out in front of so many people. Gritting her teeth, she took the jade tablet from her storage ring and flung it to Yun Yun.

The Flower Sect’s Great Elder smiled at Yun Yun and said, “I trust the former Sect Leader’s judgment. Yun Yun, from today onward, you are the new Sect Leader of the Flower Sect…”
