Wang Chen was always ruthless in his actions, and once he made a move, it had to draw blood. A cruel glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the somewhat panicked Mu Qingluan.
He even secretly hoped that Venerable Feng would slow down his attack, so that he could enjoy the feeling of the dagger piercing Mu Qingluan's snow-white skin.
Just as Wang Chen was lost in thought, he found a large hand appear beside him and easily grabbed his head.
His flawless sneak attack and assassination attempt were completely anticipated by this person.
A sharp pain shot through Wang Chen's skull, reminding him that this was no illusion, and that the daggers in his hands had already been knocked away.
"So strong!" This was Wang Chen's only thought in his panic.
"Senior brother, this is Wang Chen from the Yellow Springs Pavilion. He's extremely ruthless. Give him a good beating!" Mu Qingluan, who was being protected by Xiao Yan, shouted with a smile.
Xiao Yan nodded and said in a low voice, "Okay!"
With a swift, horizontal palm strike, he landed squarely on Wang Chen's chin, the blow sending a buzzing sound through Wang Chen's head.
At the same time, Wang Chen's jaw dislocated, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Yan had been observing Wang Chen's actions the whole time. He had been plotting to ambush Mu Qingluan, and Xiao Yan had never liked such a ruthless person.
No matter what, Wang Chen was a genius of the Yellow Springs Pavilion. Although he was caught off guard by Xiao Yan's appearance at first, he still gathered black fighting spirit and attacked Xiao Yan's throat and groin like a venomous snake.
Seeing Wang Chen's counterattack, Xiao Yan snorted coldly and thrust his right knee into Wang Chen's chest. Wang Chen's sternum cracked with a clear sound, and he flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Before Wang Chen could fly very far, Xiao Yan had already arrived above him and pressed down on Wang Chen's head. The airborne Wang Chen was immediately forced back to the ground, his entire head pressed against the earth. With each forceful movement, Wang Chen's head was rubbed against the battle platform, leaving trails of bright red blood.
Everyone on the competition stage stared in disbelief at what was happening. This was Wang Chen! A genius nurtured by the Yellow Springs Pavilion, someone who could be compared to Mu Qingluan, Feng Qing'er, and others.
But at this moment, he was being completely tortured and killed by the masked mystery man, without any power to fight back.
Wang Chen couldn't admit defeat at this point, since his jaw had been dislocated by Xiao Yan from the beginning, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"You ruthless brat, die!" A furious roar came from the viewing platform.
A jet-black light suddenly burst forth, and black battle qi, like a black rainbow, shot towards Xiao Yan's head. The attack directly tore through the surrounding space, causing everyone on the competition stage to feel a sense of unease.
Even Xiao Yan's expression changed immediately upon facing this attack. This attack was extremely dangerous; it was an attack at the Dou Zun level!
Just then, a figure swept past like a gust of wind and blocked Xiao Yan's path.
"Old man Feng!"
With the appearance of Venerable Wind, Xiao Yan also gave up his plan to activate the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame.
The Wind Venerable remained silent, simply waving his hand. An invisible wall of wind formed before him, completely blocking the Yellow Spring Venerable's attack. The power of wind element flowed within the wind wall, as if even space itself trembled under its force.
"Huang Quan, how dare you make a move without authorization during the assembly?" Venerable Feng's voice was calm and firm, his gaze fixed on Venerable Huang Quan.
Venerable Huangquan's face darkened: "Feng Xian, what about your Starfall Pavilion? This guy's strength is clearly not that of a Dou Huang!"
Venerable Feng scoffed, "Does that mean people from my Starfall Pavilion are too strong to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament?"
Venerable Huangquan also shielded Wang Chen to the side, his face cold: "With his strength, he's probably not some young man at all. Isn't he an elder of your Starfall Pavilion in disguise?"
"What a joke! You can find a way to verify it after the competition." Venerable Wind showed no sign of backing down from Venerable Yellow Springs.
Venerable Huangquan immediately changed the subject: "Then what about this guy deliberately harming the people of my Huangquan Pavilion?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan lowered his voice and replied, "He didn't say he was admitting defeat."
At this moment, Venerable Huangquan's originally pale face regained some color in anger at Xiao Yan's words: "Wang Chen's jaw was dislocated by you the first time, how can he admit defeat?"
Venerable Feng also said, "When Qingluan was ambushed by Wang Chen, I didn't intervene. This is a competition for young people, how could you have the nerve to interfere?"
At this moment, Venerable Huangquan was also furious. The reason why Venerable Feng was lying peacefully to one side was entirely because of the arrangement of this mysterious masked person.
This person could suppress Wang Chen effortlessly, so what else did he have to worry about? His own hasty action was the first thing he did to make a mistake.
Venerable Feng smiled calmly: "Moreover, you and I both know very well that Wang Chen's injuries are minor and do not affect his fundamental health."
At this moment, Venerable Huangquan was also staring fiercely at Xiao Yan. Venerable Feng was right; Xiao Yan's attack just now was extremely insulting and made Wang Chen look very humiliated. However, he controlled the force so that Wang Chen only looked miserable without being seriously injured. Even if Venerable Huangquan wanted to stand up for Wang Chen, he would not be in the right.
"Very well, I'll remember you, brat!" Venerable Huangquan waved his sleeve: "I cherish the fact that my disciple acted in a moment of crisis. Therefore, Huangquan Pavilion concedes defeat in this Four Directions Pavilion Tournament."
After saying that, he took Wang Chen and flew to the viewing platform.
Seeing Venerable Huangquan leave, Venerable Feng gestured to Xiao Yan and Mu Qingluan before also leaving the competition stage, as the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament was not yet over.
However, when Venerable Feng returned to his seat, Venerable Huang Quan and Venerable Lei both looked rather grim. After all, given Xiao Yan's demonstrated combat prowess, he was likely doomed to lose the bet.
The fact that Venerable Wind appeared to be being manipulated was all part of a scheme!
However, neither of them believed that Xiao Yan was really the same age as Feng Qing'er and the others. They felt there must be some trickery involved, and if they could prove it, the bet would no longer be valid.
The Sword Venerable beside him chuckled, secretly casting a look of admiration at the Wind Venerable. He hadn't participated in the bet; the bigger the commotion, the more entertaining it would be for him.
On the competition stage, although the competition has restarted, everyone is watching Xiao Yan and Mu Qingluan with predatory eyes.
Based on their performance just now, if they don't eliminate Xiao Yan first, they have absolutely no chance.
Looking at the crowd surrounding her and Xiao Yan, Mu Qingluan asked Xiao Yan, "Senior brother, with so many people, is there any chance of winning?"
Xiao Yan replied confidently, "Don't worry, I guarantee we'll win."
