The Combined Technique of Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao

"Scorching Blazing Wind."

Che Shuai's chest swelled, his cheeks puffing out like a toad's, before he suddenly spat out a gale condensed from spiritual energy.

The wind contained flickers of fire, carrying a pressure that threatened to grind everything in its path to dust.

"A Low-grade Profound-tier martial skill."

Ning Fan murmured to himself.

It was not weak.

But if they intended to use a Low-grade Profound-tier skill as a trump card, it was clearly insufficient. Sure enough, the next moment, Lu Qing'an made her move.

"Wildfire Palm!"

Lu Qing'an struck her palm forward. Her target was not Ning Fan or Yun Qingyao, but the swirling gale directly in front of her.

The storm was ignited by the flames surging from her palm, becoming as unstoppable as willow catkins set ablaze.

The scorching gale was utterly transformed into a sea of fire.

It directly reached the level of a Middle-grade Profound-tier technique.

And it was no ordinary Middle-grade skill; the terrifying power of this firestorm was clearly twice what a cultivator of the Profound Extreme Realm should be able to unleash!

This was a combined martial skill!

The grade had been elevated.

The power was not diminished!

Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering with gravity. Even if they went all out, facing this move would require immense effort.

Ning Fan moved his fingers, preparing to unleash his strongest martial skill-the Beginningless Seal.

Yun Qingyao followed suit without hesitation.

As their fingers danced, two mysterious seals appeared before them, accompanied by an ancient, weathered aura.

"That technique!?"

Gu Qing'an and Che Shuai's eyes grew solemn.

That was the martial skill Ning Fan had comprehended from the ancient ruins. It was the very move he had used to defeat Zhao Qi. Its power was not to be underestimated.

However, Gu Qing'an and Che Shuai remained confident in their combined technique.

"Die!"

With a fierce roar, the flaming gale enveloped Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao.

Both Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao formed the Seal of Man before them.

Just as they were about to thrust their seals forward, something changed.

The two seals generated a faint, almost imperceptible suction force.

The spiritual energy flowing between Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao seemed to form a bond-a state where they were intrinsically linked.

This was the same state Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai had achieved when executing their own combined technique.

Yun Qingyao and Ning Fan exchanged another look.

The next moment, the two seals merged. Some of the patterns fused while others extended into each other, making the seal before them far more complex.

The aura radiating from it grew infinitely more majestic.

"Seal of the Human Emperor!!"

"Boom--"

As Ning Fan whispered these words, an epiphany struck him. The combined seal blasted forward violently.

"What?!"

Shock filled Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai's eyes. A combined martial skill was their signature move; how could Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao possibly execute one as well?

What puzzled them even more was the underlying principle of it.

Combined techniques usually required compatible skills, like their own wind and fire. But Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao had simply executed identical techniques.

Identical techniques.

Performed by two separate people.

And yet, they had achieved a near-perfect union!

This skill was truly divine!

Before their astonishment could fully settle, the Seal of the Human Emperor impacted the flaming gale, instantly tearing a massive hole through the heart of the storm. The seal then continued its trajectory, hurtling toward Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai.

Sensing danger, the two retreated frantically.

Just as their feet left the ground, the Seal of the Human Emperor struck the earth and exploded. A terrifying storm of spiritual energy swept across the ground, sending Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai soaring into the air before they crashed heavily to the ground.

Thud-Thud-

Two impacts rang out in succession. After landing, Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai could no longer move, their bodies struggling in vain to rise.

"We... we won!?"

All the Changming Peak disciples who witnessed the scene murmured to themselves. Even with the enemy incapacitated, they struggled to believe that Ning Fan and Yun Qingyao had actually defeated two Ranking Disciples from Qi Hua Peak!

They had overcome such a massive gap in cultivation!

After several breaths, the Changming Peak disciples erupted into cheers, their elation undisguised.

Where there was joy, there was naturally misery.

Even now, Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai could not accept their defeat. They had thought this would be a simple, routine mission.

They had never expected to capsize in a ditch.

No.

They could not fail. If they failed, Lu Qing'an's status on Qi Hua Peak, and her standing in the eyes of her Peak Master and Chief Disciple, would plummet.

There would be no recovering from this.

Their only hope now lay with Chen Chen and Yu Gu.

If they could defeat their opponents, they might still snatch Yu Qingqing back. Even if they lost face, they would at least have completed their orders.

Thinking this, Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai used their remaining strength to turn their heads. But what they saw made their eyes widen in horror.

They saw Li Yunqi circle behind Chen Chen, kick him in the waist, and knock him to the ground.

As for Yu Gu...

She was already lying motionless.

"How is this possible..."

Lu Qing'an and Che Shuai found it impossible to believe. Li Yunqi and Gu Mingyue had previously been soundly defeated by Chen Chen and Yu Gu.

Yet now, they had dispatched them with ease.

"Wait."

"That martial technique Li Yunqi used."

Lu Qing'an suddenly realized the truth. The skill Li Yunqi had used was something she had never seen before. Clearly, it was a move Ning Fan had brought back from the ancient ruins.

In other words, their entire failure could be laid at Ning Fan's feet.

Ning Fan.

Ning Fan!!!

Lu Qing'an turned her head, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at the young man not far away. Ning Fan seemed to sense the gaze and looked back.

He narrowed his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and began walking toward Lu Qing'an step by step.

"What... what do you want to do?!"

Fear finally surfaced in Lu Qing'an's eyes.

"Junior Brother Ning."

"Shouldn't we teach that wretched Qi Hua Peak a lesson?"

Li Yunqi stepped on Chen Chen's back and looked at Ning Fan with a malicious grin.

"Indeed. We must."

"A thorough lesson."

Ning Fan nodded.

Just as they were about to act, a voice slowly echoed through the area.

"Stop. Hold your hands."

Ning Fan and Li Yunqi turned toward the sound.

-It was Lin Yu.
