Chapter 137 You are a Dou Zun?!
All the disciples of Yunlan Sect looked at Yunshan as he casually completed the ninety steps, and then looked at the last ten steps, including Nalan Yanran lying in Yunyun's arms.
But just as Yunshan's foot was about to land, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
At that very moment, he felt as if the air around him was suddenly tightened by an invisible hand!
The pressure, which was originally as gentle as a stream, suddenly turned into a raging torrent!
If the pressure of the first ninety steps was like a gentle breeze, then from the ninetieth step onwards, it was like Mount Tai collapsing! Like the sky falling and the earth collapsing!
"Um?"
The movement at the foot of Yunshan suddenly stopped, and the pale blue battle qi cocoon suddenly exploded, creating a ripple that blocked the sudden heavy pressure by half an inch.
He opened his eyes wide and looked down at his feet. The paving stones that had just left footprints had now been pressed into a hole a foot deep.
He was actually forced inside!
This was by no means something he did intentionally.
"What happened?"
Yun Ling's smug expression froze. The next moment, he glared at Xiao Yan, veins bulging on his face.
He felt a pressure that was completely different from before!
Xiao Yan remained standing in place, his body beneath the black robe motionless, but a faint glint of sharpness flashed in his dark eyes.
He didn't speak, but the sudden surge of pressure said it all.
They're starting to unleash their true power!
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer: Old man, a mere one-star Dou Zong dares to speak so arrogantly, how laughable.
Yunshan was furious at his calm and collected demeanor, but dared not lash out because of the many disciples present.
Step 91.
When Yunshan's feet landed, there was no longer any composure as before.
Because that's twice the power!
Everyone could see that the pale blue battle aura was surging violently around him, like boiling water, and a trace of sweat was even seeping from his temples. He could also clearly feel that every inch of his skin was being pierced by thousands of steel needles. The pressure was no longer a general suppression, but had transformed into countless sharp energy energies, drilling into his pores and trying to tear apart his battle aura defense.
"You little brat, you're asking for it!"
Yun Shan cursed under his breath, his fighting spirit surging as he tried to force his way through this obstacle. But after taking only half an inch forward, the pressure suddenly doubled! This time, the pressure wasn't targeting his physical body, but was aimed directly at his soul!
He felt a sharp pain in his mind, and his vision blurred for a moment. He knelt down, but although he managed to steady himself in time, his usually straight spine bent slightly.
"Old Sect Master!" Yun Ling exclaimed in surprise, his smugness turning into complete panic.
Yun Yun's heart leaped into her throat. She instinctively stood up, but was stopped by Xiao Yan's gaze.
Xiao Yan shook his head at her, his eyes serious: "This is our bet. The old sect leader hasn't admitted defeat yet. If you step forward like this, he will only be more furious."
Upon hearing this, Yunshan's eyes widened suddenly.
What's the difference between this brat's nonsense and roasting him over a fire?
He finally understood that Xiao Yan's easy first ninety steps of the hundred-step challenge were just a prelude to making him fall harder at the highest point!
"Damn little beast!"
Yunshan cursed under his breath, but he had already been lifted up and faced with the gazes of the disciples, he had no choice but to take another step forward as agreed.
Step 92.
The force pressed down with double the power!
His breathing had become heavy, and fine cracks appeared on his light blue battle aura armor. With each step he took forward, it felt as if he were dragging an invisible mountain. The floor tiles under his feet cracked inch by inch, splitting open in all directions like a spider web, with pebbles flying everywhere.
Xiao Yan could see that his knuckles were white from his clenched fists, and even his fingernails were digging into his palms.
Yunshan is almost unable to withstand the pressure!
"Xiao Yan—" Yun Shan gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse like a broken gong, "You dare!"
Xiao Yan didn't respond, but his calm eyes, like the deepest, coldest pool, reflected the figure of the Cloud Mountain Wolf Fox—
The old man, Yunshan, was not just like an ordinary centenarian! He was even more struggling than that, as if he were on his deathbed, bending over and moving forward with difficulty, each step taking more than ten minutes!
At this moment, the joy on the faces of the elders and disciples around them, as well as the joy on the face of the Grand Elder Yunling, all turned into an expression of disbelief. At this moment, they almost stopped breathing.
Step 93.
Step 94.
Step 95!
By this time, the pressure was surging like a tsunami, and Yunshan's fighting spirit was completely chaotic. The pale blue light flickered, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
No one could believe that Xiao Yan had just broken through to the Dou Zong realm.
Danwang Guhe's lips twitched.
His teacher was only a beginner Dou Zong, yet he ate a ton of food.
Looking back at Yunshan.
His hair was already soaked with sweat and stuck to his aged face. Where was the majesty of a veteran fighting master?
He could even sense that if he took another step, Xiao Yan's power would increase further.
This kid's soul power is like an endless abyss, threatening to completely devour him.
"Pfft..." A breath of turbid air escaped from Yunshan's throat, tinged with a faint trace of blood.
Yunshan, however, kept the blood in his mouth.
He stopped.
They were five steps away from Xiao Yan.
But these five steps seemed farther to him than the distance from Yunlan Mountain to Zhongzhou.
Yunshan raised his head, staring intently at the tall figure a hundred paces away. His eyes were filled with shock, anger, and a hint of horror that he himself was unwilling to admit. If he continued walking, he might die!
What kind of monster is this boy?!
Xiao Yan looked at him and finally spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying immense power: "Old Sect Master, there are still five steps to go, why don't you try harder?!"
The sound, when it reached Yunshan's ears, was like the most piercing mockery.
He abruptly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, unable to hold back any longer! A surge of frenzied fighting spirit exploded from his body: "You little beast!! You're asking for death!!"
A furious roar tore through the council hall, and the pale blue battle aura surrounding Yunshan suddenly exploded, like a powder keg being ignited, instantly transforming into a storm that blotted out the sky.
The air was torn apart by a sharp whistling sound. The pebbles underfoot and the wood chips above turned to dust in the torrent of fighting spirit. Even the beams on the ceiling snapped and crashed to the ground!
The entire council hall, spanning a kilometer in width, was on the verge of collapse under the constant pressure, compounded by Yunshan's sudden burst of fighting skill!
This is his trump card, the full power unleashed by a Dou Zong!
Like a streak of blue lightning, he ignored the terrifying pressure and charged forward!
Step 96!
Step 97!
The two-step leap was completed almost instantly.
Yun Shan's figure had closed in to within three steps of Xiao Yan. His aged face was twisted with extreme anger, and the ball of Dou Qi gathered in his palm shone with a dazzling blue light, clearly intending to kill Xiao Yan on the spot!
Yunyun screamed, "Master! No!"
Before Yun Yun could finish speaking, Yun Leng's eyes widened in shame. He instinctively tried to rush forward to help, but the aftershock sent him flying backward, crashing into a stone pillar and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Gu He's pupils contracted sharply; he could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from Yun Shan!
"Does this old bastard want to destroy the entire Yunlan Sect? Is he planning to take everyone down with him?!"
He was not only sweating profusely as he looked at Xiao Yan, who was still standing in the same spot.
Just as Yunshan's Dou Qi palm was about to touch Xiao Yan's clothes, "Crack!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking suddenly rang out.
It didn't come from Xiao Yan, but from Yun Shan himself.
His forward momentum suddenly halted, as if he had crashed into an invisible wall of bronze and iron.
The originally violent pale blue battle aura suddenly dissipated three steps away from Xiao Yan, vanishing without a trace like a punctured balloon.
"Thump!"
Another dull, loud bang.
Yunshan's knees slammed into the ground without warning, creating two deep craters in the hard bluestone floor tiles, sending fragments of stone flying everywhere.
He fell to his knees with a thud, his upper body lurching forward half a foot due to inertia. His hands braced on the ground, his knuckles turning white from the effort, but he could no longer move forward.
"Ugh—" A suppressed groan escaped his throat, his aged body trembled violently, and his clothes on his back were instantly soaked with cold sweat. You could even see the veins bulging under his skin, marks left by the invisible pressure that had forced him to be crushed.
The fighting spirit that was as raging as a raging torrent just moments before was now flowing out of his body like a receding tide, making it impossible for him to even stand.
The entire council chamber was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
How could the old sect leader, who had just unleashed a world-destroying aura, kneel down in front of Xiao Yan?
Yun Yun covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief.
She knew her master's strength better than anyone else.
But how could he not even take five steps, and even kneel down in public?
Yunling lay on the ground, forgetting the pain, staring blankly at the gray-robed figure kneeling on the ground, her mind a complete blank.
The old sect leader—knelt down? The old sect leader he had revered his whole life actually knelt down before a young boy?
Gu He gasped. He finally understood that Xiao Yan's previous composure was not arrogance, but absolute confidence.
"Master, you've been hiding your true strength."
To be able to make a Dou Zong kneel down in public without even lifting a hand is something even a high-level Dou Zong cannot do!
This kind of power has long surpassed the scope of the Dou Zong realm!
Yunshan's hand, which was supporting him on the ground, trembled slightly. He slowly raised his head, his gray hair sticking messily to his sweaty face.
The face that was originally wrinkle-free was now covered in wrinkles again, and the old man's eyes were filled with extreme shock, as if he had seen the most unbelievable sight in the world.
He could clearly feel that, starting from the ninety-eighth step, the force that was suppressing him suddenly crossed the level of Dou Zong.
It was a more powerful and vast force, each strand carrying an aura that made his soul tremble.
That was a realm he had only ever seen described in ancient books!
He stared intently at the black-robed youth in front of him, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
After a long while, he finally mustered all his strength and managed to squeeze out a hoarse, distorted sentence:
"You—you are—a Dou Zun?!"
