Battle Through the Heavens: Top Talent

Chapter 81 Fan Lao, Dead!

As the two figures collided, a powerful energy erupted from the two of them, forming terrifying shockwaves visible to the naked eye that spread in all directions.

The blood-red figure crashed to the ground again like a kite with a broken string, creating a large crater. Fortunately, the passersby fled the scene immediately after seeing Xiao Yun make his move, thus preventing a lucky spectator from being randomly killed.

"This...this is impossible!" A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Fan Lao's mouth. He stared at Xiao Yun in disbelief, and said with some fear, "You, you've broken through to the Dou Huang level!?"

Two and a half years ago, his cultivation level was a five-star Dou Huang, while Xiao Yun was only a three-star Dou Wang. If it weren't for the existence of the latter's strange fire, he could have easily crushed him. Now, he is still a five-star Dou Huang, but the boy in mid-air has actually caught up with him and also become a Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Xiao Yun! All our grudges stem from you killing my son! If you hadn't killed my son, I wouldn't have become your enemy!" Fan Lao's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of fear, but he still spoke fiercely.

"Hahaha, I won't offend others unless they offend me. Your son tried to kill me, so I killed him! You tried to kill me back then too, but nothing I said will change anything, I'll still kill you!" With a cold laugh, Xiao Yun's hand still held a blue flame as he attacked Fan Lao below.

"Damn little bastard! You think you can kill me so easily? Even if I die, I, Fan Lao, will bite off a piece of your flesh!" With a roar, the fear in Fan Lao's eyes faded, and madness filled his eyes. Overwhelming blood-red battle qi surged out of his body, condensing into a sea of ​​blood dozens of meters high around him, completely enveloping his figure.

"Master Yao, bring out my weapon."

With a clenched fist, a blood-red spear flashed into his hand, its shaft wreathed in cyan flames. Xiao Yun swung the spear, sending dozens of giant palms of cyan fire crashing into the sea of ​​blood.

The giant azure fire palm swept out, covering the sky and earth, while the sea of ​​blood shrank rapidly like a mouse seeing a cat. The thick smell of blood also dissipated quickly. In the blink of an eye, the originally huge sea of ​​blood shrank into a blood stream, revealing Fan Lao's blood-red figure.

"Damn that strange fire! Damn that Xiao Yun!" A furious roar escaped Fan Lao's throat. This Blood Sea technique was a method he had used to dominate the Black Corner Region for many years. Not only could it conceal his figure, but it was also like a domain, greatly enhancing the recovery of his battle qi when one was inside it. With this technique, he could even fight against a peak Dou Huang.

But now he has encountered Xiao Yun, who controls a different kind of fire, and is naturally able to defeat him. Xiao Yun was able to defeat him when he was a Dou Wang, and now that their cultivation levels are equal, he is being suppressed even more.

"call out!"

As the sea of ​​blood dissipated, Fan Lao finally realized the gap between himself and Xiao Yun. He unleashed a burst of blood-red battle qi in an attempt to repel the latter, and then fled the City of Twilight without looking back.

"You think you can escape?" With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Yun burned away the blood-red battle aura. Watching Fan Lao's fleeing figure, Xiao Yun's body trembled slightly. A flash of silver light passed by, and his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly crossing a thousand meters and arriving above Fan Lao.

"Just wait to die." Azure flames condensed on the spearhead, instantly tearing through the air and piercing towards Fan Lao's chest. Fan Lao panicked and dodged, but the spear still pierced through his shoulder.

Azure flames instantly clung to his body, and terrifying power emanated from the spear. Fan Lao could no longer maintain his form and, like a meteorite, smashed the ground, creating another large crater.

With another flash, he appeared on the ground, and Fan Lao stood up, knowing he couldn't escape. His blood-red battle aura surged, and he gripped a long spear in his hand.

"Die!" Xiao Yun fired one shot after another, each aimed at a vital spot, while Fan Lao could only hastily defend himself. Moreover, due to the injury on his left shoulder and the difference in strength between him and Xiao Yun, it seemed that he could die at any moment under Xiao Yun's storm of attacks.

The two exchanged more than ten blows, but Xiao Yun's spear was faster in the end. Before Fan Lao could react, Xiao Yun's spear pierced the latter's throat.

"Coo coo coo..."

Looking at the boy in front of him, Fan Lao clutched his throat, his eyes wide, as if he wanted to say something more, but because his throat was pierced, blood kept gushing from his mouth, and he collapsed and died without uttering a last word.

"May you rest in peace, Sect Leader Fan."

Xiao Yun revealed a warm smile, waved his hand, and the storage ring in Fan Lao's hand flew into his palm. Then, he struck out with his palm, and blue flames surged out, directly incinerating Fan Lao's body into a pile of ashes, which scattered with the wind.

Gazing at the ashes scattered by the wind, Xiao Yun felt no emotion whatsoever. The flames surged, burning all the blood in the storage ring until it was completely consumed, and then he put it in his hand.

The streets were deserted by then, and Xiao Yun didn't say anything about "the killer is Xiao Yun." He flashed away and flew into the distance.

……

As evening fell, the setting sun shone like blood. After killing Fan Lao, Xiao Yun rushed towards Canaan Academy without stopping.

"We've finally arrived." Gazing at the town that was faintly visible ahead, Xiao Yun grinned, revealing a bright smile. He increased his flying speed again and quickly approached the town.

That small town, Peace Town, was the first gateway to Canaan Academy.

A moment later, Xiao Yun arrived at the entrance of the town. Before he could fly into the city, a blood-red figure shot out from below.

"Halt!"

A voice carrying with it aura came from the air, and a tall, white-haired old man flashed in front of Xiao Yun, blocking his path.

"Haha, so it's Elder Wu." Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yun smiled and bowed slightly.

The old man was Wu Tianlang, the law enforcement elder of Canaan Academy. He had helped Xiao Yun a lot when Xiao Yun was training in the law enforcement team, and he was also friends with Elder Huo.

"Huh? You, who are you?" Elder Wu felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Xiao Yun's face. He racked his brain, trying to recall what he saw, and after a long while, he asked with surprise and uncertainty, "Xiao Yun? Is that you?"

It's no wonder Elder Wu didn't recognize Xiao Yun. Since leaving the enforcement team, he had rarely been in contact with him. Moreover, Xiao Yun had disappeared for two years, and his physique had changed dramatically. He had grown from 1.6 meters tall to 1.8 meters tall. If someone didn't know him well, it would indeed be difficult for them to recognize him at first glance.

"Haha, Elder Wu, I've only been out adventuring for a while, and you don't recognize me?"

Upon seeing Xiao Yun nod in agreement, Elder Wu's face instantly lit up with joy. In his heart, Xiao Yun was someone he had watched grow up. When Xiao Yun went missing, he accompanied Old Man Huo to the Jia Ma Empire to look for him.

"Hahaha, so you're still alive! I knew you had great luck on your side, how could you die so easily?"
