Chapter 161 Great Elder
"Looks like you're very confident?" Guan Xun's smile held a hint of provocation. "Then... you'd better be careful."
The voice just fell.
With a flick of her wrist, she appeared behind the Grand Elder like a ghost. With a wave of her hand, the black mist instantly condensed into a thick, soft ribbon that wrapped around her entire arm.
She gripped it tightly, the ribbon flashing with a cold light, instantly becoming as sharp as a knife, and then slashed down fiercely forward!
"boom!"
The elder reacted quickly; the instant he noticed the ribbon slashing down from behind, he turned and swung his arm, striking with the long whip in his hand.
The whip was entirely green, and wherever it passed, it stirred up gusts of wind. When it collided with the ribbon, it directly ripped the ribbon apart!
The strong winds around them even caused the black mist that had been spreading out from the ribbons to ripple.
Guan Xun lightly touched the ground with his toes and retreated to the edge of the roof. His gaze swept over the emerald green spiritual energy on the long whip, and he was secretly surprised.
The elemental advantage is truly powerful; the ribbon was destroyed so easily. However, the biggest reason is probably the difference in level.
If she were on the same level as this old man, she wouldn't have been the one to be defeated.
In fact, Guan Xun was still a bit pessimistic. At the moment when the two clashed, the elder's arm holding the whip trembled slightly, and he involuntarily took a half-inch back.
However, the movement is so subtle that it is difficult to notice without careful observation.
The elder gritted his teeth, his jaws tightening instantly. Despite having a counter-attribute and being far stronger than his opponent, even a simple attack could affect him.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping fiercely across the room. He already had a plan to finish the battle quickly, as the current situation at the banquet hall did not allow him to linger.
Thinking this, he clenched his fists tightly, countless veins bulging from his taut muscles, and his spiritual energy surged several times over.
A burst of light flashed from the soles of his feet, and his body swayed, leaving only a blur in the air, before he had already darted in front of Guan Xun.
Emerald green spiritual energy surged from his hand, instantly covering the entire whip. All the power in his body was concentrated in that arm, and then he swung his shoulder heavily!
The long whip swept across the air, creating a wave of emerald light, and the powerful force instantly blew off the blue stone tiles on the roof.
With a loud crash, the roof tiles shattered in mid-air and crashed down onto the banquet hall.
Faced with such a fierce close-range attack, Guan Xun's eyes turned slightly cold. She leaned back and her spiritual whip lashed out half an inch from her face.
The force swept her hair up, and the moment it touched the spiritual light, it was forcibly cut off and dissipated into the air.
Seeing that his attack had missed, the elder's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, and a stiff and eerie smile appeared on his lips, revealing a chilling malice.
"I'll send you on your way now..."
As he raised his right arm and swung the long whip down again, the spiritual power in his left hand had already condensed into a ball of light radiating intense energy fluctuations in his palm, which he then slammed down on Guan Xun's head.
Caught between two attacks, there was no way to retreat.
"Have you forgotten something?" Guan Xun asked softly with a cold glint in his eyes.
Her outstretched hand was positioned precisely in the back of the elder's knee. She slowly moved her four fingers, and black spiritual energy mist surged out of her palm once again!
The intertwined threads rapidly coalesced, and what took shape was no longer a ribbon, but a short-handled sickle shaped like a crescent moon.
The moment the opponent attacked, she suddenly hooked her wrist back, and the cold light of her scythe flashed as she slashed down at the back of the elder's feet.
The sudden turn of events caused the Grand Elder's face to contort in horror. A look of shock flashed across his eyes as he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to protect his entire body. His movements became even more ferocious as he slammed his hand down!
"Bang bang bang!"
The spiritual energy exploded repeatedly, blasting the entire house to pieces before it collapsed with a crash, raising clouds of dust.
Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of everyone present, who stopped what they were doing.
The confrontation between those two determined who would become the clan leader.
If the Grand Elder wins, the left's struggles will be futile; otherwise...
No, no one would believe that the Grand Elder would be defeated by a little girl, given the vast difference in their cultivation levels.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a tall figure in a deep purple robe could be seen standing steadily on the ruins.
It is the Grand Elder.
A moment of silence followed, then a burst of cheers erupted.
The Second Elder was already covered in wounds, and seeing this, he felt a chill in his heart; the hope he had placed in that woman was completely shattered.
He clenched his teeth, lowered his eyes, glanced at the group who had successfully rescued the clan leader and the young lady, and gestured for them to leave quickly.
Once back down the slope, the right wing will no longer be able to act rashly.
"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities."
The elder stared coldly at the ruins. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. "Third brother, your elder brother has avenged you. Rest in peace."
Just as his murderous intent was gradually waning, a few faint noises came from beneath the ruins.
He's still alive?!
He immediately became alert, raised his hand, and prepared to swing his long whip in that direction.
However, as the planks were being pried open, a small snake emerged from within. It peered around, then nimbly left the ruins and coiled itself on the high platform.
"Sigh..." Then, a soft sigh suddenly rang out.
A ball of dark flame suddenly burst forth from under the ruins, instantly burning all the debris within a few meters to ashes.
Guan Xun slowly stood up, her entire body enveloped in dark flames. She walked forward step by step, and everything she touched was burned to ashes by the flames.
The intense heat made everyone present feel slightly hot, and they all involuntarily took a few steps back.
How could this person survive the Grand Elder's attack unscathed?!
Everyone was shocked.
The Grand Elder's face twisted into a bizarre expression as he watched the other party approach step by step. He unconsciously shook his head: "Impossible... How could he be completely unharmed under such an attack!"
His breathing became heavy, and a chilling killing intent surged forth once more. He roared angrily and once again gathered spiritual power to unleash a powerful attack.
But before he could make a move, the figure in front of him flashed slightly and appeared in front of him in an instant.
A chill instantly spread from the depths of my heart to my limbs, and my blood almost froze into ice.
The dark flames leaped and danced, rushing towards him and quickly igniting the spiritual energy around him. In the blink of an eye, he was already trapped in a sea of fire, and the more he mobilized his spiritual energy, the more fiercely the fire burned.
Scorched by the flames, he could no longer see anything in front of him, only hearing a few sighs in his ear.
"Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to do it."
His casual tone carried a hint of regret, yet also a hidden mockery.
Guan Xun turned to the side, a slight smile playing on his lips, and glanced at the crowd below, whose expressions varied: "Among you from the right wing, who else wants to seize the position of clan leader?"
