Chapter 1204 - 1202: Group Battle
The people from various Prominent Families around saw that both sides were determined to fight, they immediately retreated, clearing a large area in the center of the altar to make room for Xia Lalan and others to do battle. They all wanted to know on what basis Xia Lalan dared to challenge the top sixteen experts; this was simply seeking death!
Similarly, Gu Nanshan and Kong Lifeng also moved to the side, smiles on their faces, thinking to themselves that once Xia Lalan got beaten to death by these people, the expressions on the Xia Family members would be absolutely priceless!
At this time, every member of the Xia Family had their hearts in their mouths, worrying about Xia Lalan. They simply could not understand why Xia Lalan would make such a crazy move. They wanted to go up and pull Xia Lalan back, but since the words had already been spoken, even if they wanted to do so, they couldn’t, and helplessly, they could only watch with anxious faces, hoping that Xia Lalan could just survive...
After the arena was cleared, Xia Lalan and Gu Shengwu and others were ready to clash. On one side were sixteen people, and on the other side just Xia Lalan alone. However, Xia Lalan did not feel the slightest bit of nervousness at this moment. On the contrary, she was full of excitement. Ever since she lost the halo of the number one prodigy, her formidable strength had been forgotten by most people. And today, she was going to prove to everyone with real strength that she, Xia Lalan, had returned, and she was still the number one prodigy of the Hidden World!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The experts from the Gu Family and Kong Family, seeing Xia Lalan so confident by herself, were all extremely angry and erupted with their respective powers. In an instant, Elemental Gang Qi of various colors emerged, whipping up tempestuous winds in the area!
Consider that here stood sixteen experts beyond the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, and once these people unleashed their own auras simultaneously, it was a sight of sheer terror. Even though the Song Family and Xia Tong chose not to take action, the mere combined momentum of ten people from the Gu and Kong Families at this moment was still alarmingly astonishing!
Within a few hundred meters, different Gang Qis mixed together, instantly forming a Gang Qi Storm in the area. Under their control, this rolling multicolored Gang Qi Storm pressed towards Xia Lalan!
In their eyes, they didn’t even need to lift a finger to deal with Xia Lalan; just the pressure of the aura alone could suppress Xia Lalan without her having any power to fight back. Even more exaggeratedly, they believed that just this terrifying aura could crush Xia Lalan to death. To dare to challenge them with merely early-stage Transcendent Realm strength, this was the price!
Seeing this tumbling Gang Qi Storm rushing towards Xia Lalan, everyone around was stunned and began to worry for Xia Lalan. No one had expected that the Kong Family and Xia Family would use such a method to deal with Xia Lalan. Such an approach was excessive, but they didn’t have the standing to say anything now. In the Hidden World, strength is respected, and with their weaker power, they didn’t dare to stand up for Xia Lalan.
Similarly, the members of the Xia Family felt their hearts nearly stopping, thinking how Xia Lalan could be so foolish. Without the opponents even making a move, this Gang Qi Storm was something that someone at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm couldn’t withstand. Now, Xia Lalan was in big trouble, big trouble...
However, just when everyone thought that something terrible would definitely happen to Xia Lalan, the unexpected occurred!
Is this it?
Seeing that several people from the opposing side joined forces to use the Gang Qi Storm, trying to suppress her with it, Xia Lalan’s face revealed a hint of a smile, followed by the release of her own aura without any hesitation.
In an instant, winds were howling and Gang Qi Clouds gathered around Xia Lalan, and very dense White Gang Qi emerged, enveloping her entirely. Then, these clouds of White Gang Qi suddenly swelled like an explosion, spreading outwards and instantly overpowering the combined Gang Qi Storm unleashed by the ten experts from the Gu and Kong Families! It shattered the Gang Qi Storm and simultaneously charged towards Gu Shengwu and the others!
In that instant, everyone was dumbfounded, as no one had predicted such an outcome!
How is this possible!
How could Xia Lalan possibly!
How... how could her strength be so terrifying!
...
The sight left onlookers nearly dropping their eyes out of shock, some even involuntarily grabbed their own hair, unable to fathom how Xia Lalan’s strength could be so terrifying. They thought Xia Lalan was crippled before, so how could she suddenly become so powerful? Just what in the world is going on? Such strength is simply too terrifying, even a typical expert of the Infinitesimal Realm wouldn’t possess such frightening power...
At the same time, Gu Nanshan and Kong Lifeng were also stunned, like petrified figures, their eyes widened, unable to believe the reality before them. Xia Lalan becoming a cripple was known to all, so how could she suddenly become so fearsome? This was simply too inconceivable. They stared at Xia Lalan as if they had seen her wrong, it was impossible for anyone to become this powerful in such a short period of time!
It was only now that the two of them finally realized why Xia Lalan was so confident before; it turns out that she was already such a formidable expert. They found it truly strange: how did Xia Lalan recover her strength, and more so, her power surged to such an extent. They thought it was just too unbelievable...
Meanwhile, Song Wuya’s mind buzzed in realization. All the children had been taught so well by Lin Feng, and there must certainly be some kind of connection between Xia Lalan and Lin Feng. After understanding these matters, he felt a surge of relief in his heart, thankful that he did not signal the Song Family members to attack Xia Lalan at the last moment; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Even without Lin Feng, Xia Lalan’s individual strength is already terrifying to the extreme. The ability of a single person to suppress the Gang Qi Storm of sixteen people speaks volumes of her immense power. At least among the younger generation in the Hidden World, absolutely no one could compare to Xia Lalan! He couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Xia Yuntian, thinking this Xia Yuntian almost doomed the Song Family. Xia Lalan had recovered her strength but did not notify them, catching him off guard.
But when he saw the astonishment on Xia Yuntian’s face, he immediately understood everything—Yuntian was also unaware of Xia Lalan’s recovery of strength...
In fact, Xia Yuntian indeed didn’t know, his expression was no different from the others. He, too, did not know when Xia Lalan had regained her strength, and to such an explosive extent. Now witnessing Xia Lalan’s sudden burst of power, he was dumbfounded, never having anticipated such an event!
Suddenly, Xia Yuntian’s gaze turned to Lin Feng, connecting to what Lin Feng had said earlier, he finally understood one thing: Xia Lalan’s recovery of strength was definitely with Lin Feng’s help, and no one else knew about it. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but marvel at the miraculous Lin Feng. Xia Lalan’s issues were previously unsolvable by anyone, and he never imagined that Lin Feng could cure Xia Lalan. This was indeed too unfathomable...
When the Xia Family members saw Xia Lalan’s strength recovered and even surged to such an extent, they were at first stunned, then smiles appeared on their faces, happy for Xia Lalan. Back in the day, Xia Lalan was the number one talent among the younger generation of the Hidden World, and now she had finally returned. With Xia Lalan, the Xia Family’s grand competition would definitely be without issues this time!
How could this be possible!
She... She has recovered her strength!
When did she regain her strength? Did she chance upon a miraculous fortuity?
...
Gu Shengwu and the others who were battling Xia Lalan never expected such a turn of events, and for a moment, they were dumbstruck. They now finally understood why Xia Lalan challenged them; her strength was already so exaggerated. They thought, wasn’t Xia Lalan crippled, and no one in the Hidden World could help, a fact that had been widely known back then? How could it be that she is suddenly cured?
But now, Xia Lalan’s momentum had already turned the tide, and they had no time to think too much, immediately exploding with power, rushing towards Xia Lalan! With Xia Lalan’s strength now so formidable, they no longer had any reason to hold back. Suddenly, they all unleashed their full strengths, colorful Elemental Gang Qi turning the surroundings into a world of Elemental Gang Qi, and the Gang Qi Storms ravaging the area, all converging towards Xia Lalan!
Previously, Xia Lalan was the first talent among the younger generation of the Hidden World, and this status was already oppressive enough for them. Now, with her strength restored, and she dares to challenge them single-handedly, it was something they couldn’t tolerate. If a group of them couldn’t defeat Xia Lalan alone, they would lose too much face! So, as they made their moves, none of them held back, all hoping to quickly defeat Xia Lalan to show her their prowess!
In an instant, the ten people from the Gu and Kong Families surrounded Xia Lalan at the center. Gu Shengwu and Kong He exchanged a glance, both rushing forward from different directions to strike at Xia Lalan!
At this moment, Gu Shengwu suddenly erupted with unprecedented speed, not even waiting to get close to Xia Lalan, a hugely powerful Fist Aura shot forth, morphing as it sailed, turning into a colossal white dragon head, attacking Xia Lalan along with a deafening roar. The strength of one Half-Step to Minute Subtlety was indeed not to be underestimated, and the power of this Fist Aura was nothing short of terrifying. Should it hit Xia Lalan, she would probably be torn to shreds in an instant!
On the other side, Kong He also initiated his attack. A flicker of his right hand and a blade of Gang Qi shot towards Xia Lalan. The immense blade stretched for dozens of meters, as if intending to split Tiandu itself. Equally a Half-Step to Minute Subtlety expert, the power of this move was naturally not weak; without any exaggeration, it could blast open a small mountain in an instant!
Similarly, the others assaulting Xia Lalan made their moves at this moment, various kinds of Fist Aura and Sword Gang, with immense oppressive power, bombarded Xia Lalan. Remember, these were attacks from ten ultimate experts, the Fist Aura and Sword Gang forming a massive net without any gaps, leaving no room to dodge in such a scenario...
