Chapter 345: The Furious Yun Shan, Xiao Yan's Strength Skyrockets from Being Toyed With!
The flames burning on Xiao Yan's hands were none other than the Nether Poison Flame and the Xuan Huang Flame. The moment these two Heavenly Flames appeared, the eerie black mist around him abruptly retreated by several meters.
Now, a five meter wide space had been cleared around Xiao Yan, restoring the air to normal. Though he was still surrounded by darkness, he no longer felt the suffocating pressure.
"As expected, these black mists fear Heavenly Flames. Teacher was right about that!"
"These Hall of Souls members are spiritual beings they are naturally terrified of Heavenly Flames, just like the ones I fought back in New Mo City."
Seeing this, a smile crept onto Xiao Yan's lips.
If these black mists couldn't approach him, then escaping this place might actually be possible.
For a mere Da Dou Shi (Great Fighter), it was impossible to see clearly in this thick darkness.
But Xiao Yan was different.
The moment his eyes ignited with the two colored flames, his vision sharpened drastically.
However, what entered his sight made him shudder in terror.
Within this endless black mist, countless pitch black figures darted around like ghosts.
Each time they flashed past, blood splattered through the air
The entire scene was like hell on earth.
And yet, amidst this nightmarish slaughter, there was one place that remained calm and untouched
The sky above.
There, a man and a woman stood hand in hand, gazing indifferently at the chaos below.
Their cold, emotionless expressions sent a chill down Xiao Yan's spine.
They were Wu Tian and Medusa.
Although the slaughter of the Yun Lan Sect disciples had nothing to do with them, their utter indifference made Xiao Yan feel that they were too cold blooded!
But then again...
Had he even thought about saving these people?
Watching Wu Tian manipulate everything and toy with him, Xiao Yan's anger burned intensely.
But he knew
He was just an ant.
Escaping was the smartest choice.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan steadied his emotions.
The wings on his back suddenly changed color, now glowing with interwoven yellow and green, as he darted into the distance at full speed.
But
Just as he had barely gotten far, he froze in place.
A terrifying aura suddenly appeared right ahead of him.
And then, a figure in white robes emerged from the darkness.
The man took a deep breath, his voice filled with sinister malice.
"Little bastard..."
"You came to my Yun Lan Sect, pulled out some broken jade, and caused the entire sect to be annihilated in an instant."
"You think this sect master will let you live?"
It was Yun Shan.
The sect master of Yun Lan Sect.
Once filled with confidence, he now hated Xiao Yan to the core.
So
The Hall of Souls had come for the Xiao Clan's jade all along.
This jade must have been something immensely important.
The moment Xiao Yan revealed it, the Hall of Souls immediately decided to silence everyone.
In an instant, thousands of Yun Lan Sect members were wiped out.
If Xiao Yan had never shown that jade, the Hall of Souls would have never attacked them
Because in their eyes, the Yun Lan Sect was nothing more than a bunch of clowns.
But now?
Because of this damn brat, his sect had been completely massacred!
The Yun Lan Sect was now a river of blood.
The grand staircase leading to the main hall was flooded with crimson, a small river of blood flowing down the mountain, staining the once clear waters a deep red.
At this moment, only a few survivors remained from the Yun Lan Sect.
Among them
Nalan Yanran, who had survived only because she had refused the Hall of Souls' power enhancement in the Life and Death Gate.
Dan King Gu He, who had been too busy refining pills to notice the disaster.
And lastly
A mysterious red clad woman, her face still veiled beneath her wedding attire.
And why were they still alive?
Because a crimson flame had been protecting them.
But
It wasn't Wu Tian's Heavenly Flame.
It was Medusa's crimson fire.
She was a queen, known for being cold blooded and ruthless
But now?
She had met the man destined for her.
And for his friends, she chose to protect them.
She understood her husband well.
Wu Tian had already rejected Nalan Yanran, so she knew they would only remain as friends.
As for Gu He, a Sixth Tier Alchemist, his skills would prove valuable in the future.
And as for the red clad woman…
That was non negotiable.
Even if Medusa hadn't intervened, her husband definitely would have.
So
It was better to act first, and prove herself as the dignified, kind, and virtuous main wife.
Wu Tian, watching all this, smiled with satisfaction.
A woman like this was truly enough for him.
But then again
If my wife insists on letting me take more… that's a different story.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan stared in horror at Yun Shan, who was now charging at him with killing intent.
A Dou Zong (Dou Ancestor) was coming for his life.
And he was just a Great Fighter!
Even with Heavenly Flames, how could he possibly stand against this madman?!
Just as panic overtook his mind
His Dou Qi suddenly surged.
A terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from within him
His entire strength skyrocketed!
Feeling the power surging inside him, Xiao Yan blinked in confusion.
"What… What the hell is going on?!"
He had used no secret techniques
So why did he suddenly become so strong?!
Wait
His eyes snapped toward the sky.
There, the man he despised most was smiling at him with a familiar 'kind and benevolent' expression.
At that moment, Xiao Yan understood everything.
Wu Tian was toying with him again.
This sudden surge of power
It was all because of him.
Indeed, Wu Tian was manipulating him.
As a being formed from Heavenly Flames, Wu Tian had the ability to control lesser flames at will.
And since Xiao Yan's flames were inferior, Wu Tian could force them to release their full power.
But
There was one problem.
The Xuan Huang Flame was fine.
But the Nether Poison Flame?
That was a poisonous Heavenly Flame!
Now that it had been fully activated, what would happen to Xiao Yan?!
Well…
His lips had already turned blue.
His once black hair had turned green.
And in mere moments, his entire skin had turned an eerie shade of green
He looked like a damn grass spirit.
"Hah… So this is a secret technique to temporarily boost strength? The side effects look terrible, but I must admit… it's impressive."
Yun Shan narrowed his eyes at Xiao Yan's sudden power increase, then grinned savagely.
"But even if you grow stronger "
"Before a Dou Zong, all tricks are meaningless."
"Even if I die today "
"I will drag you down with me, you little bastard!!!"
Xiao Yan: "…"
