Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

Now, facing the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, what choice should he make?

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Ye Cong's forehead. He glanced at the expressionless Mo Cheng, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. I am Ye Cong, the head of the Ye family. Although you are a third-grade alchemist, my Ye family is not afraid of you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction: "Who else is in cahoots with the Mo family!"

Upon hearing this, the hall erupted in response. Apart from a very few who remained silent, the heads of the smaller families and several third-grade alchemists all spoke up.

Xiao Yan memorized the faces of these people one by one, then slowly stood up. Chen Yang and Yun Yun remained seated beside him, not saying a word the entire time.

The others seemed to have completely ignored the existence of these two people, even Nalan Yanran, who was familiar with Yun Yun.

This was naturally because Chen Yang used the methods of a Dou Zong powerhouse to deceive their senses about the two of them. The purpose was simple—as mentioned before, Xiao Yan would be the main character today, and the two of them were just there to watch the show!

"Xiao Yan, what do you want to do?"

"We can settle our grievances in six months. To drag the Mohist school into this is not gentlemanly behavior!"

For some reason, Nalan Yanran sensed a very dangerous aura emanating from Xiao Yan. She subconsciously believed that Mo Cheng, the Grand Elder of the Mo family, was no match for Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan completely ignored Nalan Yanran and instead declared loudly, "Mo Cheng, the Grand Elder of the Mo Clan, captured individuals with exceptional talent, transplanted their special abilities, and conducted human experiments, transplanting the bodies of magical beasts onto humans. His crimes are unforgivable!"

"Elder Mo Cheng, do you acknowledge what I've said?" Xiao Yan asked loudly, looking at Mo Cheng after he finished speaking.

"Nonsense, young man. I will forgive you for framing me because you are young. You should leave now!" Mo Cheng shook his head, looking kind and benevolent. Anyone who didn't know better would really think he was a kind old man.

"That's right, you brat, what are you up to by slandering Elder Mo Cheng like this?"

"The Grand Elder is kind-hearted and won't blame you, so hurry up and thank him."

A group of brainwashed members of the Mo Cheng faction shouted in unison.

"Whether you admit it or not is not important to me. Killing you is what matters to me!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand and wiped his storage ring. The Xuan Heavy Ruler immediately appeared in his hand. Then, Xiao Yan's powerful aura suddenly burst out, revealing his strength as a three-star Dou Ling.

"Three...three-star Battle Spirit???"

"How is that possible???"

"Two and a half years ago, he was just a useless third-stage Dou Qi cultivator. In just two and a half years, he broke through to a three-star Dou Ling! This is impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"

Ge Ye stared in disbelief at the power Xiao Yan had unleashed.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran was completely dumbfounded.

Only four words remained in her mind: "Three-Star Battle Spirit!"

Seeing this, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache: "Sigh, I hope that once this matter is over, Yanran won't be so discouraged that she'll give up on herself!"

Chen Yang reached out and grabbed her slender hand: "Don't worry, your disciple isn't so easily discouraged."

After saying that, Chen Yang thought to himself, "She'll only regret it."

……

As Xiao Yan unleashed his three-star Dou Ling strength, chaos erupted in the hall. Mo Cheng, his previous kind demeanor vanished: "Boy, I must say, at such a young age, you possess the strength of a three-star Dou Ling, which indeed surpasses all the young geniuses of the Jia Ma Empire. It's just a pity, though, that this young genius will perish here today!"

The secrets of the Mo family must never be known to anyone, so Mo Cheng will absolutely not let Xiao Yan leave alive today.

And Nalan Yanran must become a daughter-in-law of the Mo family today. As for Ge Ye... hehe...

With that thought in mind, Mo Cheng charged straight towards Xiao Yan...

Chapter 66 Yun Yun: When do I need to explain to you, Ge Ye, who I want to kill?

"A mere five-star Dou Ling!"

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Looking at Mo Cheng charging towards him, Xiao Yan immediately used the most proficient fighting technique he had mastered.

The "Eight Extremes Collapse" theory emphasizes that the stronger one's physical body and the more internal energy one possesses, the greater the damage one can inflict on an enemy.

Previously, Xiao Yan's physical body had already reached the peak of the Dou Wang level. After being forged by the strange fire, it even seemed to surpass the Dou Wang level and rival ordinary sixth-order magical beasts.

Mo Cheng relied on his cultivation level being two stars higher than Xiao Yan's, so he didn't use any fighting techniques in this attack. He simply used ordinary Dou Ling level Dou Qi. In his opinion, Xiao Yan, who was so young, had already cultivated to the three-star Dou Ling level and become a third-grade alchemist. He must lack combat experience.

If I act hastily, I'm sure I can subdue the opponent, but the result will be...

"boom!"

Relying on his strong physical body and the fact that this was his first battle after his cultivation technique evolved, Xiao Yan had no scruples and went all out.

The moment their arms touched, Mo Cheng felt as if he were fighting a top-tier fifth-order magical beast. The terrifying power and defense emanating from its body made his punch feel like he was hitting a high-grade material.

As a terrifying force struck his opponent's arm, Mo Cheng was sent flying backward, crashing into a large number of tables and chairs.

"Elder!"

"Elder Mo!"

"..."

The onlookers were dumbfounded when they saw this scene: a three-star Dou Ling sent a five-star Dou Ling flying with a single punch.

"Cough cough..." Mo Cheng coughed violently, struggling to get up and looking at Xiao Yan with a sinister gaze. "Boy, you do have some skill, but this is your strongest attack, isn't it? Next, I'll let you taste the high-level fighting techniques of my Mo family!!!"

Mo Cheng gritted his teeth, then waved his hand, his fighting spirit condensing into a long spear, which he was about to attack Xiao Yan.

However, upon seeing this, Xiao Yan merely smiled slightly, then clenched his right fist tightly: "Explode!"

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Eight low, booming sounds rang out in the hall. Mo Cheng's clothes on his chest and back exploded with eight holes, and dark red blood flowed from his seven orifices in the blink of an eye, making him look extremely miserable.

"Pfft..." Mo Cheng's battle qi spear quietly dissipated, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, then swayed and fell to the ground.

"Elder Mo!!!" Ye Cong screamed in fright when he saw this scene. He was even faster than the head of the Mo family. He rushed forward and hugged Mo Cheng, shouting as if his father was about to die.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you...you really want to risk offending the Yunlan Sect to kill me?" Mo Cheng looked at Xiao Yan with fear in his eyes, but in order to survive, he still brought up the Yunlan Sect.

"Hahaha... Elder Mo, are you joking? Although my relationship with the Yunlan Sect is not exactly irreconcilable, it's not exactly good either. You, a former elder who left the Yunlan Sect long ago, are far superior to me, who is a three-star Dou Ling at less than eighteen years old. The Yunlan Sect should know who they should choose!" Xiao Yan was extremely arrogant, relying on Yun Yun being his sister-in-law.

Chen Yang and Yun Yun listened to Xiao Yan's arrogant remarks and shook their heads helplessly.

"That brat, Yao Lao didn't beat him enough!" Chen Yang rolled his eyes, and Xiao Yan, who could hear Chen Yang's words, immediately felt a tightness in his balls and quickly restrained himself.

"Elder Mo, it's time to go!" Xiao Yan said, holding the Xuan Heavy Ruler and about to strike down at Mo Cheng, but at that moment, a figure blocked Mo Cheng's way.

"Stop!" Ge Ye shouted at Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, Elder Mo Cheng has made great contributions to our Yunlan Sect. You and our Yunlan Sect have not reached the point of being irreconcilable enemies. Please, for the sake of the Sect Master, spare Mo Cheng!"

“Steward Ge Ye…” Xiao Yan looked at Ge Ye, his brows furrowing slightly. He really couldn’t just cut Ge Ye off, after all, his sister-in-law was watching from behind.

“Xiao Yan, I broke through to the Dou Ling realm a few days ago and have been promoted to elder of the Yunlan Sect!” Ge Ye suddenly said.

"Yes, Deacon Ge Ye!" Xiao Yan sneered inwardly upon hearing this. This Ge Ye was so tactless and might even be colluding with Mo Cheng. He figured this elder position would only last until today.

“You…” Ge Ye was furious, but he knew he was no match for Xiao Yan, so his anger was just impotent rage.

“Xiao Yan, Mo Cheng was once an elder of my Yunlan Sect. If he really committed such a heinous crime, the sect will investigate and deal with it impartially. Your abuse of power will be blamed by your teacher.” Nalan Yanran also stepped forward at this time, but not to plead for Mo Cheng.

Her words conveyed an impression of being considerate of Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan glanced at Nalan Yanran with some surprise.

Without the fuel of hatred, Xiao Yan's feelings towards Nalan Yanran weren't so bad. With his intelligence, he could naturally tell that Nalan Yanran was thinking of him.

From her perspective, she was unaware that Yun Yun was supporting her, so saying this was the right thing to do. Moreover, since she was speaking in the name of the young sect leader, if Xiao Yan was telling the truth, Mo Cheng would definitely not escape death!

On the other side, Yun Yun also gave Nalan Yanran a strange look. Why was her disciple suddenly thinking about Xiao Yan?

Shouldn't she be hoping that Xiao Yan will offend the Yunlan Sect to death and then be killed by the Yunlan Sect?

"Young men admire love, and young women do too!"

"Xiao Yan's display of strength today, while severely humiliating Nalan Yanran, has also stirred some affection in her towards him, which is quite normal!"

In the original novel, Nalan Yan regretted it later, but now it's just happening a little earlier.

"what???"

Yunyun, a complete novice in love, couldn't understand it at all. How could relationships be like this?

……

Just as Xiao Yan was lost in thought because of Nalan Yanran's words, Mo Cheng's left arm behind Ge Ye suddenly transformed into the arm of a demonic beast: "Since we're all going to die anyway, I might as well kill everyone here today and then frame the snake people. Die, all of you!"

Mo Cheng roared, his voice filled with the howls of a demonic beast, his eyes bloodshot, and he had lost all human appearance.

"Roar!" Mo Cheng roared, and with one claw, he killed Ye Cong, who was holding him, and then pounced on Ge Ye.

"Uncle Ge, be careful!" Nalan Yanran shouted, but it was too late to draw her sword.

"What is Elder Mo doing?" Ge Ye was startled and quickly jumped back to avoid it, only to see Mo Cheng heading straight for Nalan Yanran.

Xiao Yan looked at the incredibly fast Mo Cheng and the stunned Nalan Yanran, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He recalled the insults Nalan Yanran had inflicted on him and his father in the past, and thought that as long as he remained still, Nalan Yanran would be seriously injured even if she didn't die. Of course, this was assuming that his sister-in-law and Yang Ge didn't intervene.

But... do I really want to watch Nalan Yanran die here because of a mere Mo Cheng?

Even if the engagement between the two is over, she is still the granddaughter of the Nalan family, her sister-in-law's disciple, and this woman just reminded her of that...

'Sigh... Oh well...'

A bitter look flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, but he still decided to take action to save Nalan Yanran.

……

At this moment, Yun Yun saw Mo Cheng heading straight for her beloved disciple and was about to step in to save him, but Chen Yang pressed her down.

"Xiao Yan will make a move!" Chen Yang said quickly.

“He…” Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan, unable to believe that he would save Yanran. She knew how hard Xiao Yan had been cultivating during this period, and more than half of that hard work was for Nalan Yanran.

But at this moment...

"Duang!"

Just as Yun Yun hesitated, Xiao Yan placed the Xuan Heavy Ruler between Nalan Yanran and Mo Cheng, easily blocking Mo Cheng's deadly claw attack.

"The person who saved me... was Xiao Yan???" Nalan Yanran couldn't believe that the person who saved her was actually the boy who hated her to the core?

"I don't want to hurt my sister-in-law's feelings!" Xiao Yan said calmly, then kicked Mo Cheng.

“Sister-in-law… Sister-in-law???” Nalan Yanran was stunned upon hearing this. The Nalan family and the Xiao family had no other relatives.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had already pounced on Mo Cheng, his superb ruler technique forcing Mo Cheng to retreat step by step. Just as Xiao Yan was about to use the Flame Splitting Wave Ruler to send Mo Cheng and the rest of the Mo family's followers away, Yun Yun's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Xiao Yan, let me handle this person!"
