After Xiao Lin "struggled" to sweep three opponents and was helped off the arena stage, Yun Shan, who had watched the entire performance, rolled his eyes secretly.
Act, just keep on acting!
However, he ultimately didn't say anything. After all, Xiao Lin truly did achieve a one-versus-three victory, didn't he?
With this, the Dou Wang battle was also won by the Jia Ma Empire's side.
16+3, and adding the 8 points from earlier, the Jia Ma Empire was now leading the Luo Yan Empire by a wide margin with 27 points. Next, naturally, was the even more critical Dou Huang battle!
Only, at the thought that the Jia Ma Empire could currently only produce two Dou Huang powerhouses, everyone's expressions were not very good. The only piece of good news was likely that the Luo Yan Empire did not have a Nine-Star Dou Huang.
Since Yan Luotian broke through to the Dou Zong realm, the strongest expert in the Dou Huang realm on the Luo Yan Empire's side was the Imperial Ancestor, Yan Nanfei, an Eight-Star Dou Huang!
Additionally, the remaining two Dou Huangs of the Luo Yan Empire were one Six-Star and one Five-Star. To be honest, if Hai Bodong could have come, the Jia Ma Empire would have won the Dou Huang battle without any suspense!
Because on the Jia Ma Empire's side, Jia Xingtian was a Nine-Star, and Fa Ma was a Six-Star.
Although Hai Bodong was a Four-Star two years ago, his combat power in the Dou Huang realm was significantly stronger than an ordinary Four-Star. Even if he faced the Luo Yan Empire's Six-Star Dou Huang, he wouldn't necessarily lose.
However, now that Hai Bodong was absent, everything was uncertain. Soon, the Dou Huang battle between the Jia Ma Empire and the Luo Yan Empire began.
Jia Xingtian did not disappoint as a peak Nine-Star Dou Huang powerhouse. In a direct confrontation, he powerfully defeated the Luo Yan Empire's Imperial Ancestor, the Eight-Star Dou Huang Yan Nanfei.
In the subsequent gauntlet match, he exhausted everything, forcibly taking the Luo Yan Empire's Six-Star Dou Huang expert down with him as they both fell off the arena stage. Finally, it was left to Fa Ma, a Six-Star Dou Huang, to duel the Luo Yan Empire's Five-Star Dou Huang.
As an alchemist, although Fa Ma's combat power wasn't considered very strong, he still managed to narrowly defeat his opponent in the end. With this, even though the Jia Ma Empire was short one person, they still defeated the Luo Yan Empire in the Dou Huang battle!
32+2, even though the Jia Ma Empire was missing one Dou Huang powerhouse, the score was still calculated based on the number of people defeated. Since only Jia Xingtian was eliminated on their side, they were naturally counted as having two remaining.
As the Dou Huang battle concluded, the Jia Ma Empire had accumulated 61 points!
However, despite the Jia Ma Empire's points leading by a wide margin now, one must realize that the base points for the Dou Zong battle were 64 points!
In other words, the key to deciding victory or defeat actually lay in the Dou Zong realm. This was also the reason why, even up until now, the Luo Yan Empire's side did not appear overly anxious.
After all, in their view, as long as Yan Luotian defeated Yun Shan, all the previous point gaps would be directly wiped out. It could only be said that what determines a country's strength, as expected, must be the high-end combat power!
Not long after the Dou Huang battle ended, the Luo Yan Empire's Dou Zong powerhouse, Yan Luotian, had already landed on the arena stage.
"Yun Shan, it's truly rare. I didn't expect that you actually broke through to the Dou Zong realm as well. I thought you would be stuck at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Huang for your entire life! But this is fine too, it allows me to defeat you fair and square!"
Having just stepped onto the arena, Yan Luotian had already begun to talk tough.
The two of them could be considered old rivals.
As the Sect Masters of the strongest sects within their respective empires, hadn't they always been each other's adversaries?
However, there was one thing Yan Luotian said correctly. If it hadn't been for Xiao Lin's intervention, Yun Shan would still have been stuck at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Huang even after the main plot began.
At that time, Yun Shan had been driven nearly mad by that bottleneck!
But the current Yun Shan, having broken through to the Dou Zong realm, was in the most high-spirited period of his life.
"Yan Luotian, you are as conceited as ever! I could suppress you in the past, and I can still suppress you now!"
Stepping onto the arena stage, Yun Shan confronted Yan Luotian head-on.
It was clear that the grievance between the two ran deep.
"Hmph, such boastful words!"
Yun Shan's words clearly displeased Yan Luotian.
Shortly after their standoff began, the two collided.
Both Yun Shan and Yan Luotian had broken through after the last Sect Grand Meeting. Therefore, their current realms were similar, both possessing the cultivation of a One-Star Dou Zong. Thus, victory or defeat would depend on their individual methods and techniques.
At the same time, by coincidence, both Yun Shan and Yan Luotian specialized in Wind Attribute Dou Techniques!
"Spear of the Wind God!"
"Ten Thousand Winds Binding!"
Two great Wind Attribute Dou Techniques clashed just like that.
A long spear of wind tore through the void. However, what it faced were countless wind ribbons like silk, binding it firmly in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The violent collision caused fierce winds to rage in all directions. The biting gales blew so hard that the surrounding spectators could hardly keep their eyes open.
The clash of Wind Attribute Dou Techniques directly caused the very sky to change color. Those below the Dou Wang level were now almost unable to see the exchange between Yun Shan and Yan Luotian clearly.
At this moment, everyone felt as if they were submerged in an ocean of wind!
"Wind's Peak: Dazzling Sunset!"
A spiral of wind appeared high in the sky.
At its very center, it looked as if a sun was falling.
This was the signature Wind Attribute Dou Technique of the Yun Lan Sect.
"Wrath of the Wind Dragon!"
Seeing Yun Shan unleash another Wind Attribute Dou Technique, Yan Luotian showed no weakness and retaliated in kind.
A giant dragon of wind condensed high in the air, let out a roar, and charged toward the dazzling light at the center of the wind spiral.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, the clouds filling the sky were scattered by the two Wind Attribute Dou Techniques.
The arena below even saw the appearance of crisscrossing ravines caused by the power of the wind. If Yun Shan and Yan Luotian hadn't moved their battlefield into the sky, it was estimated that even the spectators would have been affected.
This was the result of a battle between Dou Zong powerhouses!
By now, as they bombarded each other with Wind Attribute Dou Techniques again and again, various wounds of different sizes had appeared on both Yun Shan and Yan Luotian's bodies. These were torn open by the wild winds that acted like sharp blades!
However, it was clear that neither of them cared in the slightest.
Their gazes remained locked onto one another.
In this battle, they were no longer fighting just for the empires behind them, but also for themselves! Having competed for so many years, they had both decided to settle the score once and for all today.
"Hahaha, delightful! Yun Shan, today you will surely fall by my hand!"
"Yan Luotian, those are exactly the words I wanted to say to you!"
With that, both of their gazes froze, and they charged at each other once more.
Dou Zong powerhouses no longer needed to rely on Dou Qi Wings to stand proudly in the void.
"Boom!"
After a wave of collision, the two figures crossed paths and flew past each other.
