Xiao Yan was stunned, feeling the cool breeze on his scalp. He mechanically looked at the wig that had fallen to the ground, his eyes wide, his expression blank, as if he had suffered a major blow.
Muffled sounds came from among the Yunlan Sect disciples. Many of them had their shoulders shaking, struggling to hold back their laughter.
"Pfft..." Nalan Yanran couldn't hold back and let out a light sound.
She immediately covered her mouth with her left hand, but her already curved eyes betrayed her, revealing the fact that she was laughing very hard.
She finally understood why Xiao Yan kept pressing his head with his left hand during his fight with her.
So that's how it was!
Seeing her trying to laugh but not daring to, Nalan Jie said with a cold face, striking her down: "This shows that he was concerned about his image and defeated you while still retaining a lot of strength."
"Uh..." Nalan Yanran's smile suddenly froze.
The sadness, it seemed, was even greater.
The Yunlan Sect disciples had received special training and knew that in many situations, a uniformly expressionless face could put greater psychological pressure on opponents, so they generally wouldn't laugh in serious settings, unless they really couldn't help it.
Xiao Yan's shiny, bald head reflected the light under the sun, and more than half of the people burst into laughter.
These laughs entered Xiao Yan's ears, making him wish he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
This Three-Year Agreement, he won, but it seemed he also lost.
He turned his head to look at the culprit who caused all this.
"Yun Leng, you're seeking death!" Xiao Yan roared furiously, his face contorted.
Qing Meng felt his anger and burst out from his head with a "whoosh" sound.
The fiercely burning azure and bone-white intertwined flames seemed to form Xiao Yan's hair.
A two-headed Chibi Amon stood on top of his head, its chubby little face full of anger.
"Meng!"
It raised its fat, short little hand, and an exquisite Fire Lotus, half the size of its own head, appeared in its right hand.
This was a three-colored Fire Lotus composed of the Azure Lotus Core Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's beast flame.
Although it lacked the infusion of Yao Chen's power and relied solely on Xiao Yan's slightly weaker strength, the fusion of flames increased its destructive power geometrically based on the number of flames.
Especially for Heavenly Flames, each additional Heavenly Flame fused into it resulted in a particularly massive geometric increase in its destructive power. Of course, the corresponding difficulty also increased geometrically, as did the required skills and spirit power.
Originally, with Xiao Yan's current ability, he was not capable of unleashing such a Fire Lotus, and forcibly using it would only backfire. However, with Qing Meng now, all difficulties could be resolved.
The Fire Lotus, composed of two Heavenly Flames and one beast flame, was already capable of threatening a Dou King.
While activating the Fire Lotus, Xiao Yan also took a pill that temporarily boosted his strength, allowing his Dou Qi to reach close to the Dou Spirit level.
The exquisite Fire Lotus emitted destructive energy fluctuations and flew towards Yun Leng with an unstoppable momentum.
Even Dou Emperor powerhouses like Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma felt a strong threat from that small Fire Lotus.
"What kind of Dou Technique is this?" Fa Ma's face changed dramatically. "Fusing flames, he actually dares to do such a crazy thing?"
"What is that little doll on Xiao Yan's head? Some kind of secret technique?" Jia Xingtian asked somewhat confusedly.
"Unclear, it seems to be related to flames."
Locked onto by the Fire Lotus, Yun Leng, as the primary target of the Fire Lotus, had an even more horrified look in his eyes.
He hadn't previously believed that Xiao Yan was the powerhouse who fought in Salt City, merely treating it as an excuse.
But now, it seemed there was a slight possibility that he had accidentally hit the mark. That tiny Fire Lotus gave him a fatal threat.
"Profound Rock Shield!"
As Yun Leng rapidly retreated, he formed hand seals. A large amount of Dou Qi surged out, combining with the earth-attribute energy in the world to form a massive rock shield several meters thick. On the rock shield, there were also patterns of long swords piercing through clouds.
"Meng!" Qing Meng happily shouted.
The destructive power of the Fire Lotus erupted, and the terrifying force instantly slammed onto the rock shield. The thick rock shield didn't resist for long before it shattered inch by inch, disintegrating into its most primitive energy and disappearing.
The explosive fire-attribute power caused the air to heat up rapidly. The scorching air, carrying swirling dust, scattered, engulfing the nearby Yun Leng.
A few seconds later, a figure flew backward from the scalding smoke and dust. He stumbled back several steps on the ground before finally stabilizing himself.
He spat out a large amount of fresh blood with a "wow," his aura weakened, clearly already severely injured.
At this moment, Yun Leng looked utterly miserable. Half of his hair and beard were burned off, and large areas of his skin were scalded, with ugly blisters.
"Meng!"
Looking at its achievement, Qing Meng happily stood on one leg and spun around on Xiao Yan's bald head.
Yun Leng's miserable state stunned everyone around him.
Yun Leng was the Great Elder of the Yunlan Sect, a high-level Dou King, and the third strongest person after Old Sect Leader Yun Shan and the current Sect Master Yun Yun!
If not for the Yunlan Sect only having one Sect Master participating in the Top Ten Powerhouses ranking of the Jia Ma Empire, Yun Leng would certainly have a spot on that list. Yet, such a powerhouse was severely injured by a single blow from Xiao Yan!
Nalan Jie's heart ached even more. What a good son-in-law! If only he had known, he would have tied his granddaughter up and dragged her over to apologize.
Mu Chen no longer had the heart to mock Nalan Jie, staring blankly at the deep pit in the center of the square. He felt that if it were him, he would probably be lying there already.
He glanced at Mu Zhan behind him, whose eyes were almost popping out, and shook his head. Before, he often used Yan Xiao as an example, treating him as "someone else's child" to educate Mu Zhan. Now that he thought about it, he was wrong...
He couldn't even beat this himself!
A bitter expression appeared on Nalan Yanran's face. Although she knew Xiao Yan had held back during their fight, she hadn't expected him to hold back so much.
If that move had been directed at her, she would probably have ended up without even a corpse.
At this moment, all the laughter that had erupted because of Xiao Yan's bald head came to an abrupt halt.
Whether one's head is bald or not isn't really important, as long as you have the strength to make everyone shut up.
"Stop him! Don't let him run away, Mo Cheng was definitely killed by him!" The severely injured Yun Leng screamed hysterically.
Several Dou King Elders of the Yunlan Sect exchanged glances and simultaneously flew into the sky.
The three of them didn't dare to get too far away. They were confident they could block that Fire Lotus if they worked together, but if they were alone, Yun Leng was a cautionary tale.
The guests who came to watch the battle had previously thought the Yunlan Sect was shameless. Mo Cheng was of the Dou Spirit level, and holding a small Dou Grandmaster accountable for his death was simply ridiculous.
But Xiao Yan's performance made them feel that the suspicion about Mo Cheng seemed to have some truth to it after all.
Three Dou King powerhouses pressed towards Xiao Yan.
One said: "Give up resisting. Stay obediently in the Yunlan Sect and wait for the Sect Master to return to make a decision."
"Your Fire Lotus attack just now was indeed powerful. None of us individually would be your match, but if we join forces, we can even fight a Dou Emperor powerhouse," another Elder added.
"The Sect Master is not someone who doesn't distinguish right from wrong. If you are truly innocent, she won't do anything to you."
Xiao Yan looked at them, his face cold, saying nothing.
Jia Xingtian was about to step in to help when he saw Hai Bodong unfold his wings behind him and soar into the sky.
At the same time, he shouted emphatically: "Xiao Yan is my brother, who dares to touch him?"
Jia Xingtian was stunned, thinking to himself, Old Hai, you've lost all shame, actually calling a young man many years your junior 'brother'...
But after a second thought, he felt that Xiao Yan indeed seemed to have the qualifications to call them brothers.
No longer hesitating, he also flew forward and said loudly:
"Yunlan Sect's actions are probably inappropriate, aren't they? Right now, it's just your suspicion. Flames of the same color don't prove anything."
The aura of the two great Dou Emperors forced the three Elders of the Yunlan Sect to retreat.
Yun Leng's expression changed. He hesitated for a moment, then took out a whistle and blew it.
