Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-803

A seven colored sword glow and the black python-like metal chains crossed
each other in a lightning-like manner in the sky. They erupted into a
soul-stirring clear sound as glaring sparks splashed about.

Medusa’s body withdrew. Her face was also quite solemn. After having
swallowed a couple of spiritual bodies, the strength of Protector Tie had
clearly increased. These wild and violent attacks had caused Medusa’s
hands to become slightly numb.

Protector Tie’s body stood in the empty sky. His gaze was dark and
vicious as he looked at Medusa. His mouth emitted a strange laugh that
was filled with killing intent. Protector Tie did not give Medusa even a
moment to catch her breath. His hand moved and the black-colored
enormous-python-like chains emitted the whizz of pressurized wind as it
swept across the sky. Finally, it swung violently toward Medusa.

A cold glint flashed across Medusa’s eyes when she was faced with this
fast attack by Protector Tie. Powerful Dou Qi was circulated in her body
to the maximum. A bright seven colored glow seeped out of her body. She
looked like a seven colored light figure against the sky. An enormous
sword glow over a hundred feet long swung out each time the longsword in
her hand was waved. A soul-stirring energy explosion erupted each time
the sword glow and the black python-like chain collided. This momentum
was indeed worthy of being a battle between elite Dou Zongs.

Xiao Yan’s expression, who was outside of the battleground, grew
increasingly more pale as the battle between Medusa and Protector Tie
truly entered an intense phase. As his expression paled, an intense
fluctuation of frightening energy slowly agglomerated. It was formed
within the swift moving hand seal.

The heart of Zi Yan by the side was filled with anxiety upon seeing Xiao
Yan’s face. She clearly knew that if one failed to successfully unleash
such powerful Dou Qi, there was the chance of a backlash occurring.
Should that happen, it was not surprising for one to suffer serious
injuries if one was lucky and might even die should it be more serious.

Although she was anxious, she did not dare to open her mouth and
interrupt. She could only do her best to help protect him. Should anyone
come over and interrupt at this moment, it would be a fatal blow for Xiao
Yan.

While Xiao Yan was solemnly waiting, the frightening energy that was
agglomerating in Xiao Yan’s hand seal suddenly became chaotic. A low
muffled sound was also emitted from his throat.

Zi Yan’s heart immediately became tense upon hearing the muffled sound.
She turned her head to take a look only to see Xiao Yan’s tight frown.
His face was filled with a solemn expression. Clearly, he had felt great
difficulty using this Dou Skill, which possessed frightening power.

The minimum requirement to use the ‘Sea Flipping Seal’ was that one
must possess the strength of a Dou Huang. Xiao Yan’s strength had only
just reached this stage. Normally speaking, if it was not because of him
being different from an ordinary expert Dou Huang, it was likely that he
would not have the qualification to use the ‘Sea Flipping Seal’ with
his strength. After all, the Dou Qi required for a Dou Technique with
such a frightening strength was really too terrifying. Moreover, the
degree of precision that one would need to control the Dou Qi was also
quite harsh.

Xiao Yan had indeed met quite some trouble at this moment. Although he
had once practiced for a period of time in the small valley, there was
still quite some risk when he wanted to use it as he desired in a battle.
One example was this time around…

Xiao Yan could only do his best to spread his mind upon sensing the
somewhat sporadic flight of powerful Dou Qi within his body. He could
only try to control it from escaping in all directions. After which, he
hurriedly controlled and circulated that escaping energy along the
determined veins. In this way, the exhaustion of his mind was unusually
great. However, the formation of the hand seals in the outside world must
be maintained with the same rhythm as that of the circulation of Dou Qi.
Such precise control caused even the current Xiao Yan to scramble. If his
Spiritual Strength was not stronger than ordinary people, it was likely
that he would have failed now because of his insufficient control.

Even though this was the case, the collaboration between Xiao Yan’s
hand seal and the Dou Qi gradually showed some signs of disorder after he
forcefully maintained it for awhile. Some Dou Qi that his mind had lost
control of began to randomly charge about. Even with the degree of
strength of Xiao Yan’s veins, it still emitted a slight twitching pain.

“Dammit, nothing must go wrong this time around…”

Xiao Yan tightly clenched his teeth. He forcefully endured the faint
tiredness that was emitted from his mind as he forcefully used his mind
to control the agreement between the Dou Qi and the transformation of his
hand seals. Under this anxiety, the situation had turned increasingly
worst. Finally, the Dou Qi within his body had begun to run about in a
chaotic matter.

Xiao Yan’s expression finally changed upon sensing the chaos within his
body. If this were to continue, not only would he fail to use the ‘Sea
Flipping Seal’ but he would also end up seriously injured due to the
backlash.

The chaos in Xiao Yan’s heart had just flashed and appeared when he
suppressed it as quick as possible. As long as there was even a slight
mistake at this moment, it was likely that he would completely fail.
Currently, he was no longer that ignorant young man from back then. Being
unusually rich in combat experience, he clearly understood the importance
of remaining calm at such a moment.

Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air. He slowly suppressed the anxiety
within his heart and gradually withdrew his focused mind. He actually
ceased controlling the chaotic Dou Qi that was causing a mess in his
body. It was as though he was a third party who was calmly observing the
chaotic Dou Qi that was spreading in all directions. At the same time,
the change of his hand seals quietly slowed.

Xiao Yan had completely calmed down following the increased focus of his
mind. Under this extreme calm, he appeared to have entered a mysterious
condition. His ears had become completely calm.

“Withdraw!”

A low cry suddenly sounded deep within his heart. Threads of thin, almost
hair-like, mental threads flashed out in a lightning-like manner in all
directions. Finally, they grabbed the chaotic Dou Qi that was seeping
out. All of them were like numerous small streams that agglomerated from
all directions before finally gathering together.

Xiao Yan’s mind was distributed in a manner that was not the least bit
inefficient. Under this kind of extremely calm condition, almost every
thread of his mind had unleashed its maximum effect. In this way, the
disorder from the earlier rush of Dou Qi immediately disappeared…

When the Dou Qi within his body was completely controlled, the tight
frown on Xiao Yan’s brows slowly relaxed. The speed which his hand
seals changed suddenly sped up. Afterimages flew. A moment later, the
hand seals suddenly stiffened on a strange seal!

Xiao Yan’s hand seal was one with his thumbs pointing at him. All of
his ten fingers were in a half-wounded condition in a snake-like manner.
His index fingers faced each other, giving people a mysterious feeling at
a glance.

Xiao Yan’s hand seal solidified. His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.
A piercing glow shot out in a substance-like manner, causing Zi Yan’s
heart to beat violently by his side.

Powerful Dou Qi within Xiao Yan’s body flowed along his Qi Paths and
arrived at this hand while the hand seal solidified. A bright jade-green
glow immediately erupted from his hand. A layer of strange jade-green
crystal followed Xiao Yan’s hand seal, and surged out while the light
glow spread. In merely a moment, a palm-sized jade-crystal, with a hand
seal shape, adhered to his hand.

The space around Xiao Yan suddenly fluctuated the moment the jade-crystal
hand seal appeared. The powerful force that spread out caused even Zi
Yan’s heart to feel pressure.

The frightening energy that suddenly appeared also aroused the
surrounding experts attention. Immediately, numerous shocked gazes were
shot over. Finally, they focused onto Xiao Yan’s hand. Everyone’s
expression drastically changed as they sensed the frightening energy that
was contained in that crystal hand seal.

This kind of frightening energy was something that would cause even an
expert Dou Huang to feel genuine fear.

It was naturally difficult for the appearance of the jade crystal hand
seal to escape the attention of Medusa and Protector Tie. This was
especially when they had sensed the terrifying energy that even a Dou
Zong would not dare to easily slight. Their faces changed as their gazes
were instantly thrown to the position where the energy was transmitted
from. The both of them were stunned when they saw that the frightening
energy was created by Xiao Yan.

“Cai Lin, move aside!”

Xiao Yan sternly cried out. A glint flickered in Xiao Yan’s eyes as
they were suddenly thrown toward Protector Tie.

Medusa hesitated for a moment upon hearing this. She vaguely nodded and a
seven colored glow flashed from her body. Immediately, she transformed
into a light figure that swiftly withdrew.

“Sea Flipping Seal!”

Medusa’s body had just withdrawn when Xiao Yan’s heart suddenly
emitted a cold cry. He curled his thumb and his hand seal violently
pushed forward. A jade-crystal hand-seal-shaped layer immediately left
his hand. Finally, it transformed into a palm-sized crystal glow that
rushed toward Protector Tie in a lightning-like manner.

Protector Tie was startled upon seeing the bright glow being shot over.
He was just about to withdraw when he was shocked to discover that the
bright glow was already locked onto his aura…

“This… what is this Dou Technique? How can that brat be able to use
it given his Dou Huang strength?”

Protector Tie’s eyes were tightly focused on the crystal glow that shot
over. His expression gradually became solemn upon sensing the frightening
energy that was contained within it. He discovered that he seemed to have
underestimated this young man since the very beginning…

A dense black fog surged out of Protector Tie’s body. The surging
energy contained within the black fog caused the air to fluctuate.

The jade-green crystal rushed through the sky. In an instant, it appeared
in front of the black fog. At this moment, Protector Tie was finally able
to clearly see just what this crystal glow was…

“Crystal seal?”

Protector Tie intently frowned upon seeing this thing. His gaze
immediately swept past the shape that was formed by the hand seal and was
momentarily startled. Disbelief surfaced within his eyes. He
involuntarily and sharply cried out, “It is actually the ‘God Seal
Skill’?”

A short distance away, Xiao Yan’s entire body trembled upon hearing
this involuntary cry by Protector Tie. The killing intent in his eyes
soared. This fellow was actually able to recognize the ‘Sea Flipping
Skill’?
