The deep blue flame looked extremely mystical, spreading slowly like clear seawater as it rose, with faint ripples resembling water waves… The moment this deep blue flame appeared, the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame within Xiao Yan’s body began to stir violently. This kind of disturbance was not unfamiliar to him, for whenever different kinds of Heavenly Flames met, such a special fluctuation would occur between them. Furthermore, this deep blue flame was not unfamiliar to Xiao Yan; he had seen it on Han Xue years ago.
“Sea Heart Flame, the fifteenth ranked Heavenly Flame on the Flame Rankings,” Xiao Yan’s gaze fixed intently on the deep blue flame around the black-robed figure. After a moment, his voice became somewhat heavy, “Is that Han Xue’s Sea Heart Flame?”
Back then, when Han Xue was rescued by the Soul Sect, he lost the Sea Heart Flame upon his reappearance. He said that it was taken away by the Soul Sect. And now, this person who suddenly appeared was also from the Soul Sect, so it was obvious that this Heavenly Flame must be the Sea Heart Flame that Han Xue had lost!
“Hehe, good eyesight,” the black-robed figure did not deny this, and smiled lightly. Under the black robe, a pair of glowing, intense eyes watched Xiao Yan, “I know that you have more than one Heavenly Flame in your body. I came here not to capture you and bring you back to the Soul Sect; that’s the job of others. My ultimate goal is the cultivation method you practice!”
“The cultivation method that can make different Heavenly Flames fuse!”
Feeling the scorching gaze beneath the black robe, Xiao Yan’s heart suddenly filled with an uncontrollable killing intent. The Burning Decree was his greatest secret, and anyone who dared to touch it must be killed!
“This is Holy Pill City, the hands of the Soul Sect are indeed far-reaching.” Xiao Yan sneered coldly, while Dou Qi within his body surged like a flood, roaring and surging, putting his entire being on high alert. The black-robed figure before him could appear here silently, showing that his strength must be terrifying. At least from him, Xiao Yan felt a sense of danger and had to be cautious.
“That cultivation method originally belonged to me, it just happened to be secretly taken away by Old Medicine Dust. Now, I’m just here to reclaim what belongs to me,” the black-robed figure laughed softly, lifting his head slightly. In the moonlight, a somewhat pale chin could be seen.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s eyes immediately narrowed. He knew that the Burning Decree was obtained by Old Medicine Dust in a broken ruin, and it was said that countless experts were attracted to it. Although he didn’t see it himself, he could guess that, to obtain what was inside, a fierce battle must have erupted.
“I know there are two Battle Sect-level experts here, but I’ve set up a Soul Binding Mirror over this courtyard, so they won’t be able to find us for a while.” The black-robed figure’s sleeves moved slightly, and a bony hand, dry as if wrapped in skin, slowly emerged. Clenching his fist, a deep blue flame instantly condensed into a ball.
“Hand over the cultivation method, and I will spare your life tonight.”
Xiao Yan sneered, and a flash of silver light burst from his feet, and he instantly appeared on the wall of the small courtyard. A green flame swirled out, fiercely striking the invisible barrier.
*Boom!*
A low sound resounded, but Xiao Yan’s punch did not break the invisible barrier, only causing ripples to spread across it.
“If you still insist, do you think you are Old Medicine Dust?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s actions, the black-robed figure’s voice turned cold, and he casually swung his sleeve, forming the deep blue flame into a blue fiery spear. With a flick, it tore through the air, turning into a blue shadow, and shot straight at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan’s face turned icy, and his figure trembled, followed by the rumble of thunder. His figure vanished instantly, dodging the blue fiery spear.
“Binding Sea Net.”
Seeing Xiao Yan disappear, the black-robed figure swiftly grabbed the air behind him. A hissing sound echoed, and deep blue fire lines shot out from his fingers, quickly weaving into a fiery net, enveloping the area.
*Sizzle!*
As the fiery net fell, a large, heavy ruler, enveloped in green flames, tore through the air, and then slashed down with great force, cutting into the deep blue fiery net.
*Swish!*
When the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame collided with the Sea Heart Flame, a hissing sound erupted, and the two Heavenly Flames began to fiercely corrode each other.
“Break!” As the corrosion continued, Xiao Yan’s eyes turned cold, and the green flames surged, forcibly tearing the deep blue fiery net apart.
Tearing through the net, Xiao Yan leaped back, and during his retreat, the green flames on his hands split into two, becoming the Green Lotus Earth Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame, then merging once again. In a matter of breaths, a beautifully crafted green fire lotus appeared.
With Xiao Yan’s current strength, combining two Heavenly Flames into a single fire lotus was already something he could do effortlessly.
As the fire lotus took shape, Xiao Yan snapped his fingers, and the lotus soared, leaving a beautiful flame trail, rushing toward the black-robed figure.
With the fire lotus launched, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and a demonic puppet appeared, charging fearlessly at the black-robed figure under Xiao Yan’s command. His figure retreated again, appearing at the invisible barrier, raining punches at a single point, causing the Soul Binding Mirror to constantly ripple.
“Not bad martial arts, able to fuse with Heavenly Flames. It seems that cultivation method has brought you quite a bit of benefit.” The black-robed figure sneered, and his fingers, coated with deep blue flames, moved swiftly in the air, forming a deep blue fireball. The fireball then opened a crack and swallowed the green fire lotus.
Immediately after the deep blue fireball swallowed the green fire lotus, a powerful explosion sounded inside, and the fireball burst open, the green flames flaring wildly, wreaking havoc in the once orderly courtyard.
As the green flames approached the black-robed figure within a few feet, the Sea Heart Flame surrounding him automatically repelled them, so even the Buddha Anger Fire Lotus did not cause any damage to the black-robed figure, demonstrating his terrifying strength.
After resisting the fire lotus, the black-robed figure flicked his fingers, sending dozens of deep blue fire lines, which tightly bound the charging demonic puppet, preventing it from breaking free.
“With your strength, you can’t break the soul barrier I set up,” the black-robed figure said indifferently, easily dealing with the fire lotus and the demonic puppet, watching Xiao Yan strike the soul barrier with all his might.
*Boom!*
Xiao Yan’s fists slammed into the barrier, and his face turned even more sullen as he saw the rapidly spreading ripples. He hadn’t expected this mysterious black-robed figure to be so strong. According to his estimation, this person’s strength was at least at the level of a three-star or even four-star Dou Zun!
Despite his grim expression, Xiao Yan did not lose his composure. While the black-robed figure was strong, he was no pushover either, capable of putting up a decent fight.
“I don’t have much time. If you keep insisting, I won’t hesitate to use lethal force,” the black-robed figure said indifferently, stepping lightly in the air and slowly approaching Xiao Yan. Here in Holy Pill City, he couldn’t be too ostentatious, or he would attract unwanted attention from the Dan Tower.
Watching the black-robed figure slowly approach, Xiao Yan’s face turned colder, and he flicked his finger, sending a green flame shooting at the demon puppet, shattering the binding lines. The demon puppet, freed, rushed back to Xiao Yan, standing protectively in front of him like a tower.
Freeing the demon puppet, Xiao Yan opened his mouth, spewing out green flames, which split into the Green Lotus Earth Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame. Tapping the black storage ring on his finger, the bone-chilling White Bone Spirit Flame also appeared.
“Haha, three kinds of Heavenly Flames, impressive, very impressive. The rumors are true, it seems I’ve hit a big prize,” the black-robed figure was slightly surprised seeing the three Heavenly Flames, then laughed, clenching his palm, and a deep blue flame burst forth, enveloping him, looking like a mighty fire god, full of power.
Xiao Yan’s eyes turned cold, and he took a deep breath, a grayish-white flame slowly rising from his throat.
“Life-Forming Flame…”
Seeing the grayish-white flame, Xiao Yan’s eyes filled with cold determination, and with a wave of his hand, he merged the four flames together in front of the black-robed figure’s astonished gaze.
“You’re courting death?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s madness, the black-robed figure’s face changed slightly, and he lunged, becoming a black blur, charging at Xiao Yan with a gush of deep blue flames from his palm.
The speed of the black-robed figure was astonishing, as if he merged into the space, instantly appearing in front of Xiao Yan, his hand lashing out to grab Xiao Yan’s head.
Sensing the ferocious attack, Xiao Yan prepared to use Three Thousand Thunder Movements to dodge, but a faint cracking sound suddenly echoed in the courtyard. His gaze shifted, and he found that the invisible barrier had shattered into countless tiny fragments of spiritual energy.
As the spirit barrier shattered, a vast aura swept down from the starry sky, and a weathered, calm voice slowly filled the night air.
“Dan Tower’s territory, the Soul Sect has no right to run wild here…”
At the sound of the voice, the black-robed figure’s face abruptly changed, and he looked up at the sky, his voice hoarse, “Xuan Kong Zi?”
