380. The Struggle Begins
Upon hearing this, Fan Yin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and for the first time, genuine displeasure was revealed on her breathtakingly beautiful face. Looking at the figure in mid-air, Fan Yin said, "If I remember correctly, you must at least defeat all the younger generation of Yin Valley."
"Indeed, just half a month ago, all the young generation in your Sound Valley with the strength of a Dou Huang were defeated by me!"
Xiao Yan looked up and saw three figures in mid-air. The one in the lead was a young man dressed in a neat and tidy outfit, with a cascade of black hair, exuding a flamboyant and unrestrained air. His Dou Qi was incredibly powerful, with no intention of hiding it, clearly indicating that he had already reached the Dou Zun realm! His brows and eyes revealed a heroic spirit, but Xiao Yan always felt that this person still had a somewhat immature feeling.
He held a pale gold spear in his hand, with four golden blades encircling the lower part of the spearhead. The sharp golden blades guarded the spear tip, which reflected a dazzling light.
Behind the young man were two elderly men, their figures shrouded in large black cloaks, their auras concealed, seemingly merely serving as his shadows. However, these two showed no abnormality under the young man's Dou Zun-level Dou Qi, indicating their strength surpassed his—they were definitely Dou Zun level experts as well!
Xiao Yan was inwardly amazed: What a powerful lineup! He even found it strange that there were just too many Dou Zun experts in Zhongzhou. He had already encountered six in such a short time! Even a single Dou Zun expert could practically roam freely in Zhongzhou!
Xiao Yan immediately looked at Qing Lin, whose eyebrows were also furrowed, her green eyes fixed on the two old men in mid-air. One of the old men seemed to sense something and smiled slightly at Xiao Yan and Qing Lin.
With just a glance, Xiao Yan felt a sudden dizziness wash over him. Qing Lin was also startled, exclaiming softly, "Young Master, these two are definitely stronger than me!"
Even without Qing Lin's words, Xiao Yan had more or less guessed it. If the old man protecting the young man was that powerful, then let alone sneaking into the Sound Valley's fighting pavilion unnoticed, it wouldn't be impossible for him to completely wipe out the Sound Valley.
The two old men behind the person in front of him were of unfathomable strength, no wonder Yin Gu was so troubled.
Of course, Xiao Yan still had a question: this young man was so strong, and he had a terrifyingly powerful protector, so why would he be interested in the Sound Valley fighting techniques? And why would he fight with the people of Sound Valley? Since he could enter without anyone noticing, leaving shouldn't be difficult for him either. However, given the current tense situation, no one could answer Xiao Yan's questions.
The young man's eyes were full of confidence: "The half-month period has passed. You said that the strongest fighting force of the younger generation in Yin Valley needed ten days to awaken, and now I've given you that time!"
Having said that, the young man picked up his golden spear and pointed it at Qin Shiyin, who was standing next to Fan Yin: "Looks like it's your turn to play with me today."
"If you lose, then get out of the Sound Valley!" Fan Yin said coldly.
The young man laughed heartily, "If anyone in the Sound Valley can defeat me, Lei Jingxiao, then so be it!"
"Of course, if you search the entire Sound Valley and find no one who can rival me, then spread the word that the younger generation of Sound Valley are all useless good-for-nothings!"
Lei Jingxiao's words clearly enraged the people of Yin Valley, but at this moment, they only glared at him angrily, and no one directly attacked him. They were obviously wary of Lei Jingxiao's strength and the two unfathomable elders protecting him.
Fan Yin's expression didn't change much at this moment. She simply said to Qin Shiyin, the woman in yellow beside her, "Be careful."
Qin Shiyin nodded and leaped up as well, her pretty face still cold and expressionless: "Yin Gu, Qin Shiyin."
Lei Jingxiao smiled: "I never bully people. You only have the strength of a nine-star Dou Zong, so I will fight you with the strength of a nine-star Dou Zong!"
Lei Jingxiao moved his palms, forming several complex and profound hand seals. His Dou Zun level Dou Qi also strangely retreated from his body. After half an incense stick's time, the intensity of his Dou Qi actually reached the level of a nine-star Dou Zong.
At this moment, Qin Tan whispered to Xiao Yan, "So, Brother Xiao Yan, what do you think of this person's strength compared to yours?"
Xiao Yan looked at Lei Jingxiao in mid-air and said seriously, "He's very strong. I'm no match for him!"
Qin Tan chuckled, "It seems Brother Xiao Yan still doesn't trust me enough. You, after all, defeated a Dou Zun with the strength of a Dou Zong!"
Xiao Yan replied calmly, "It was just luck."
Although Qin Tan appeared extremely eager, Xiao Yan was not the type to reveal everything based on a single set of words, so naturally he couldn't possibly tell Qin Tan anything of real value.
"But you're right about one thing, he is indeed very, very strong!" Qin Tan said, looking at Lei Jingxiao in mid-air. "That day he was like this too, completely suppressing his battle qi, and defeated seventeen young disciples of the Sound Valley!"
"Including you?"
Qin Tan gave a wry smile: "More than that, I was the last to fight, and he only needed five moves to render me immobile. Moreover, I know that he was just playing around with the first four moves!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. Although he had never seen Qin Tan make a move before, the latter was, after all, a core disciple of the Sound Valley. To be completely defeated in five moves by someone of the same level was indeed astonishing! No wonder the Sound Valley members looked extremely tense when he arrived; they were probably worried about what was happening before them.
Regardless, Yin Valley is a prominent and influential force in Zhongzhou. If it were to be suppressed like this by a young man, it would indeed be a disgrace. No wonder Yin Valley is cutting off communication with the outside world; until this matter is resolved, they certainly won't let the outside world know what's going on here.
At the same time, Xiao Yan also noticed that no one seemed too worried at the moment, including Qin Tan, who had personally fought Lei Jingxiao. They were clearly very confident in Qin Shiyin, who was going to fight.
After suppressing his fighting spirit, Lei Jingxiao slightly twisted his neck, grinned, and moved his golden spear. Crimson flames rose up, the firelight shooting into the sky, and the spear also changed to a golden-red color.
A jade flute also slipped into Qin Shiyin's palm. Emerald green battle qi swirled around it. The jade flute looked thin and fragile, but now, with the support of the Nine Star Dou Zong battle qi, it could break through gold and rocks!
"bring it on!"
