BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 408: Xiao Yan Admits Defeat! Another Three Years?

“Xiao Yan, what are you still dazing for? This battle is already decided. You’re still young. If you couldn’t catch up with this girl in three years, what’s stopping you from trying again for another three years?”

In the past, Xiao Yan would always take Yao Lao’s advice to heart, but in this moment, as Yao Lao’s anxious words rang out, Xiao Yan remained motionless, his gaze still locked on the increasingly radiant white light in the sky.

“This is strange. What is Xiao Yan doing? Nalan Yanran has almost completed her charge, and he hasn’t made any move!” Seeing Xiao Yan’s strange lack of action, Jia Xingtian couldn’t help but comment in surprise.

“If he’s staying so calm, maybe he already has a plan. Let’s wait and see!” Fa Ma, who was confident in Xiao Yan’s strength, replied without hesitation.

“Calm? Collected? Confident? Fa Ma, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Hearing these words, Hai Bodong, sitting next to Fa Ma, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly. From his vantage point, he could clearly see Xiao Yan’s expression. In his eyes, there was no calmness or confidence at all—only dazedness, and even a hint of terror.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Nalan Yanran’s longsword shone even more brightly. The already blinding white light surged further, until the light from the sword completely overshadowed the sun in the sky.

“Wind Extreme: Sunset Glory!”

A shout rang out from the sky, and terrifying waves of energy exploded. A fierce sword aura shot down like a meteor from the heavens, sweeping across the battlefield with devastating force. The ground beneath the energy’s pressure cracked, deep fissures spreading across the entire arena.

Feeling the immense power of the sword aura above, the Yun Lan Sect disciples hurriedly activated their Dou Qi. Streams of energy poured out from them, forming a massive protective shield that covered most of the arena. Only then did they manage to block the immense pressure of the sword’s energy.

“This is terrifying...”

Under the overwhelming pressure of the sword energy, Xiao Yan, still somewhat disoriented, finally snapped out of his trance. However, by then, the dazzling sword aura filled his vision, and it was already too late for him to dodge.

“Leave it to me, Xiao Yan…”

Seeing Xiao Yan finally return to his senses, Yao Lao quickly urged him.

“Mm!”

As soon as Yao Lao’s words fell, Xiao Yan immediately closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils gleamed with a layer of white light.

With a soft push of his palm, a massive white energy shield, brimming with immense power, rapidly formed in front of him.

“Eh?”

“Xiao Yan’s move doesn’t seem like a Dou Technique at all. It’s just a simple energy explosion creating a shield!”

“Is he really confident enough to use something like this to block Nalan Yanran’s high-level Xuan-class Dou Technique?”

“If he’s doing it, then there must be a reason. If you don’t understand, don’t jump to conclusions!”

As Xiao Yan conjured the shield, some of the ordinary experts sitting on the stone platform began discussing.

The three strongest figures at the top, however, were immediately alerted to a chilling presence emanating from a stone seat beneath them as Xiao Yan formed the shield.

“It’s her… Why did she suddenly exude such killing intent?”

“Her cultivation shouldn’t be enough to target someone like Xiao Yan…”

Sensing the cold aura radiating from Xiao Yixian, Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and Hai Bodong grew slightly tense.

Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Yixian had already stood up from her seat. Clenching her delicate fists tightly, her gaze never leaving the scene below.

Earlier, when Xiao Yan’s aura shifted, Xiao Yixian had instinctively risen to her feet. Had she seen Xiao Yan prepare only a defensive shield, she would have already rushed onto the arena.

In the next moment, under the watchful eyes of all, Nalan Yanran’s sword aura slammed into the white energy shield with a mighty crash.

Boom!

When the sword aura struck the energy shield, a thunderous roar erupted across the vast square, like the wrath of a thunder god, causing people’s hearts to tremble in fear.

After the massive roar, the collision of terrifying energies followed. A gust of wind suddenly appeared in the sky above the arena, howling fiercely.

At the point of contact, even the air itself was distorted and blurred by the powerful energy collision.

When the tumult subsided, the young man at the center of the disturbance was still standing there, seemingly unaffected. Even the shield he had formed in front of his palm showed no signs of damage.

“To casually form an energy shield and still be able to block such a powerful attack, this Xiao Yan is no ordinary Dou Wang!” Jia Xingtian remarked.

“Elder, looking at this situation, even though Nalan Yanran’s cultivation has now broken through to Dou Wang, she might still lose to this Xiao Yan!” A Yun Lan Sect elder behind Yun Leng spoke with some worry.

“Indeed, but in this situation, we can’t help Nalan Yanran win, and with so many powerful experts watching, we have no room to intervene.” Yun Leng sighed helplessly.

In the sky, seeing that her strike had failed to damage Xiao Yan’s shield, Nalan Yanran’s expression became serious.

“Looks like I’ll have to use the Earth-tier advanced Dou Technique my master taught me.”

“Sky-Splitting Sword Technique…”

As Nalan Yanran mentally invoked the technique, a massive surge of energy gathered on her longsword.

At that moment, Nalan Yanran felt her Dou Qi being drawn into the sword at an observable rate. In the blink of an eye, nearly 30% of her Dou Qi had been drained, and the surrounding energy fluctuations in the air became far more intense than before.

“All Yun Lan Sect disciples, listen up! Quickly disperse and leave the arena!” Realizing the severity of the situation, Yun Leng urgently ordered the ordinary disciples to evacuate.

“This guy... If he doesn’t admit defeat and continues relying on someone else’s soul power to fight against Yanran, I’ll step in and pull out the soul hidden by your side!” Xiao Yixian murmured, her brows furrowing slightly as she observed the situation.

However, just as the thought of exposing Yao Lao’s soul surfaced in her mind, Xiao Yan’s hoarse voice sounded.

“Nalan Yanran, today’s match, I, Xiao, admit defeat. But our agreement is not over. Three years from now, I will return to Yun Lan Mountain!”
