Aotian did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent. After all, Chen Qiao's strength was already extremely terrifying, and now he was demonstrating such formidable martial arts. If Aotian were careless, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking this, Aotian suddenly formed hand seals with both hands, continuously changing into various gestures. Mysterious seals began to coalesce around him.
These seals seemed to possess their own life, appearing quite spiritual.
"Gather!"
With Aotian's loud shout, those mysterious seals immediately converged in front of him, transforming into a Giant Finger.
The Giant Finger had intricate veins running through it, as if it were born from the heavens and earth, appearing extremely profound. On the Giant Finger, complex and mysterious runes were scattered about, giving it an aura of destruction that could annihilate everything.
Unfortunately, the Giant Finger was only half-formed; if it were complete, its power would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.
This martial art was the Annihilation Finger, taught to Aotian by his mother.
According to Aotian's estimation, although he had only grasped part of the cultivation method for the Annihilation Finger, its power was sufficient to rival some advanced martial arts.
"Annihilation Finger!"
Aotian shouted in his heart, and then the Giant Finger hovering in the air charged towards Small Azure Mountain with a momentum that could destroy everything.
In the astonished gazes of everyone present, the Giant Finger collided violently with Small Azure Mountain. Suddenly, a tremendous sound echoed, causing everyone’s eardrums to buzz.
Following that, a terrifying wave of energy spread from the point of impact, forcing those nearby to stagger back several steps.
The trees around were even snapped in half by that overwhelming force, making the scene exceptionally striking.
Meanwhile, the Giant Finger and Small Azure Mountain were locked in a stalemate, seemingly unable to overcome each other.
The four disciples of Azure Cloud Sect were filled with shock upon witnessing this outcome.
They were well aware of the formidable strength of the Grand Protector, but even this powerful figure seemed unable to do anything against the young man before him, which naturally left the four feeling anxious and fearful.
However, upon seeing the stalemate in the Battle Situation, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They knew that the Grand Protector was harnessing Earth Attribute Mystical Power. Although this type of Mystical Energy was not the most powerful in terms of attack, it was undoubtedly one of the most terrifying in terms of endurance.
As far as they knew, only Water Attribute Mystical Energy could consistently outlast Earth Attribute Mystical Energy. However, it was clear that Aotian was not utilizing Water Attribute Mystical Energy, which indicated that if time dragged on, Aotian would inevitably be defeated.
Of course, this was merely the perspective of the four youths. As for Chen Qiao, who was directly involved, he felt utterly distressed.
Although Chen Qiao believed his strength lay in endurance, the opponent's power was simply too bizarre.
He noticed that the Giant Finger was continuously assimilating the power of the Small Azure Mountain. If this continued, it would not be Aotian who would lose, but he himself.
Yet, Chen Qiao had no ability to stop the assimilation power contained within the Giant Finger. Thus, he could only watch helplessly as the energy within the Giant Finger grew increasingly terrifying while that within the Small Azure Mountain became more and more fragile.
Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on Aotian's serious face as he shouted:
"Break!"
Instantly, it seemed as though the energy within the Giant Finger had surged dramatically and began to slowly press forward.
The surface of the Small Azure Mountain started to show cracks spreading out. As all of its power was assimilated by the Giant Finger, it finally could not withstand the pressure and shattered into nothingness in mid-air.
The Giant Finger showed no signs of stopping; it resembled a finger of a demon god, intent on destroying everything in existence. It pressed down directly towards Chen Qiao.
In an instant, Chen Qiao felt an overwhelming pressure enveloping him completely under a massive shadow.
The four disciples of Azure Cloud Sect watching from the side couldn't help but gasp in shock. Just as they were about to rush over to help, Niu Geng blocked their path.
The four youths from the Azure Cloud Sect only possessed Innate Peak cultivation. Faced with Niu Geng, who had the strength of the Human Spirit Realm, they were naturally helpless and could only look at Chen Qiao with great concern.
Chen Qiao also felt a hint of fear creeping into his heart, but it was impossible for him to give up struggling.
Suddenly, the Mystical Energy within Chen Qiao surged violently, transforming into a defensive Light Shield that firmly surrounded him to resist the attack of the Giant Finger.
Earth, in itself, symbolizes the bearing of all things. Therefore, the defensive power of Earth Attribute Mystical Power is exceptionally strong. Among all types of Mystical Energy, very few can surpass Earth Attribute Mystical Power in terms of defense.
Thus, Chen Qiao did not believe that the Giant Finger launched by Aotian could break through his defense.
With a loud crash, the Giant Finger inevitably struck against the defensive Light Shield, causing it to tremble violently several times but not completely shatter.
Although the assimilation power within the Giant Finger formed by the Transformation Technique could assimilate all attacking forces, it was limited to offensive power. If this force were to desperately defend itself, even Transformation Technique would not be able to assimilate it.
Of course, this was mainly because Aotian had only managed to cultivate the Dragon God Transformation Technique to an intermediate level. If he had mastered it completely, he would certainly be able to assimilate even defensive powers. However, that was not the case now.
Aotian was not worried about this; while it was indeed difficult for him to break through Chen Qiao's defense with just his own strength, he remembered that the Giant Finger had previously assimilated the power of the Small Azure Mountain.
Aotian did not believe that with the power of Annihilation Finger combined with Chen Qiao's Azure Mountain Suppression Seal, he would still be unable to break through a mere layer of defense.
Seeing that the Giant Finger's strike had not shattered his defense, Chen Qiao felt a sense of relief in his heart.
However, before he could make any move, he suddenly sensed an overwhelming force pouring down from the Giant Finger like an ocean.
Chen Qiao was instantly alarmed and shouted in panic:
"Impossible! This can't be! How could you possess such terrifying power?!"
Aotian was not surprised by the situation. He knew that the terrifying energy contained in Annihilation Finger had fully manifested in Chen Qiao's sight.
Feeling the increasingly powerful force outside the defensive Light Shield, Chen Qiao felt the pressure on him growing heavier, especially on his chest, as if a large stone was pressing down on him.
Suddenly, he noticed a crack appearing on the defensive Light Shield. His face changed dramatically, and he shouted:
"No!"
However, the appearance of this crack seemed to announce Chen Qiao's defensive failure. The power from the Giant Finger surged into the Light Shield through the crack like a tidal wave.
Soon, the crack widened until it was crushed by the Giant Finger.
With the final defense shattered, the power from the Giant Finger inevitably struck Chen Qiao.
In an instant, he was sent flying, blood spraying through the air. His body crashed through several giant trees before finally stopping against the trunk of an ancient tree.
However, he lay on the ground, his chest rising and falling slightly. Clearly, Chen Qiao was seriously injured this time.
Seeing that his finger had not completely killed Chen Qiao, Aotian was somewhat surprised but understood it was within reason.
After all, his Annihilation Finger had consumed a lot of power when breaking through Chen Qiao's defensive Light Shield. As a result, the force striking Chen Qiao had its limits.
Moreover, Chen Qiao was a warrior of the Human Spirit Realm, whose internal defenses and vitality were incomparable to those of a Half-Step Human Spirit warrior.
Thus, it was naturally unlikely for Aotian to kill Chen Qiao with just one finger.
However, this outcome was still favorable; after all, they were on the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect. If he had truly killed the Azure Cloud Sect Grand Protector here, it would have been impossible to resolve that situation.
Aotian knew very well that although he had killed Murong Qian, who was merely a Half-Step Human Spirit warrior, his value could not be compared to that of Chen Qiao.
Chen Qiao is a genuine Spirit Realm Martial Artist. If I were to kill Chen Qiao, it would be like cutting the flesh of the Azure Cloud Sect. At that point, it would definitely provoke the wrath of the Azure Cloud Sect, and even Xuantian Academy might not be able to protect me.
Moreover, whether the higher-ups of the academy would come forward to cover for me is still uncertain.
Therefore, seeing that Chen Qiao was only heavily injured and not dead, Aotian couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief deep down.
"Great Protector! Great Protector!"
The four youths from the Azure Cloud Sect rushed forward in panic upon seeing Chen Qiao lying on the ground like a dead dog, anxiously calling out.
With the support of the four youths, Chen Qiao slowly stood up, his gaze icy as he stared at Aotian, and said in a deep voice:
"Truly worthy of being the fourth-ranked figure in the Inner Courtyard Rankings of Xuantian Academy, your reputation is well-deserved!"
Aotian chuckled lightly and replied:
"Hehe, Great Protector, you flatter me. I just wonder if you still intend to continue investigating me?"
Chen Qiao narrowed his eyes and said:
"I'm puzzled. It's just a mere investigation; why are you so resistant? I believe you understand that with your identity as an Inner Academy Student of Xuantian Academy, we at Azure Cloud Sect won't make things too difficult for you. However, your reaction is so intense that it makes me suspect that you are the one who killed Murong Qian!"
A sudden shock ran through Aotian, but his expression remained calm as he coldly replied:
"Are you forcing me to kill you?"
Chen Qiao stared at Aotian for a while before suddenly bursting into laughter, a hint of madness hidden within his laughter:
"Kid, I've already confirmed that you are the one who killed Murong Qian!”
Aotian's expression darkened in an instant, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Chen Qiao.
"What's wrong? Did I hit the nail on the head?!" Chen Qiao sneered.
Aotian understood that it would be difficult to hide the matter of him and Niu Geng killing Murong Qian any longer.
Chen Qiao had already concluded that he was responsible. As long as he reported back to Azure Cloud Sect, they would surely focus their attention on him. With their terrifying intelligence network, uncovering the truth would not be difficult.
Niu Geng also approached Aotian, his cold gaze fixed on Chen Qiao, and asked Aotian, "Boss, why not just bury them all here? That way, the clues for Azure Cloud Sect's investigation will naturally be cut off."
Upon hearing Niu Geng's words, Aotian couldn't help but feel surprised. He hadn't expected this usually honest and straightforward guy to be so ruthless in battle.
Niu Geng's words were clearly heard by Chen Qiao, who mocked them, saying, "Are you really sure you've got me cornered?"
As he spoke, he brushed his hand over his Storage Ring...
