Chapter 261: The Great Sky Battle

Far in the horizon, four auras of Battle Emperor level spread across the sky, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly. The azure sky was torn apart by the violent auras, shattering the lazy clouds. In Salt City, everyone was trembling slightly under the intertwined and overwhelming auras. The terrifying pressure made it feel as if they were carrying a thousand pounds, making their breathing somewhat heavy.

“Green Menace, hahaha, I never thought you would be chased around like this! If this gets back, they will laugh you to death!” The huge triangular pupils of the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor stared at Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong opposite him, his massive mouth opening and closing, emitting a deafening roar.

“You bastard, White Fang, I have someone with me and didn’t want to get tangled up with them. Was I supposed to stand there and wait for them to attack?” Floating beside the head of the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor, the woman in green clothes couldn’t help but angrily retort.

“Hehe.” Laughing, the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor wagged his enormous tail, his triangular pupils flickering, glancing at the green-scaled girl in the woman’s arms. In his thunderous voice, a hint of seriousness emerged: “Is it really the Tri-flower Green Snake Pupils?”

“Mm, your senses are correct, it is!” Mentioning this, joy flashed in the eyes of the woman in green, nodding, she smiled.

“That’s good…” Hearing this, the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor clearly sighed in relief. He once again swept his gaze towards Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong, then suddenly stopped, staring at Xiao Yan, who was enveloped in a pale white flame. In astonishment, he said, “It’s strange, why do I feel that the aura from this person is somewhat familiar?”

“You also feel that way?” The woman in green blinked in surprise, examining Xiao Yan, “I was also lured out of hiding because of the seemingly familiar aura on him. But I’ve encountered too many strong people, so I can’t remember exactly whose aura it resembles.”

“The white flame on his body, it should be a ‘Heavenly Flame,’ right? But I don’t know which one. Tsk, such a lucky guy,” the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor said in surprise.

“Yes, it is indeed a Heavenly Flame, extremely terrifying. My Wooden Prison has no effect on him at all,” the woman in green nodded, her voice deep.

“Hehe, I haven’t been to the Jia Ma Empire for many years. I didn’t expect such a strong person to emerge here,” the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor laughed in surprise.

“Alright, stop talking. With such a commotion, the Yun Lian Sect and the old monster of the Jia Ma Royal Family probably already noticed. If we linger any longer, they’ll come and cause trouble,” the woman in green said solemnly.

“Mm, understood, nagging woman.” The giant tail of the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor swayed, then he added with some regret, “But it’s a pity. I came here to challenge the Queen Medusa, only to find out she failed to evolve. Ah, such a perfect woman, it felt like she appeared just for this Emperor.”

“White Fang, stop lusting after her. Don’t you remember how miserably she beat you last time?” The woman in green rolled her eyes, speaking helplessly.

“Hehe, I just like her violence,” the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor shook his large head, laughing, “Alright, you take the others and go first. I’ll hold them off. Meet me at the old place in ten minutes.”

“Mm, be careful, these two aren’t easy to deal with.” Nodding, the woman in green instructed, her wings fluttering lightly, shooting towards the distant horizon.

“Don’t worry, in terms of flying speed, no one among the Battle Emperors can match me,” the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor wagged his tail, grinning smugly at the departing woman in green.

“Want to leave? Leave the people behind!” Seeing the woman in green dart away, Xiao Yan’s face darkened, his Purple Cloud Wings flaring, and he shot forward.

“Hehe, your opponent is me.” Seeing Xiao Yan trying to fly over, the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor chuckled, his eight wings vibrating, his massive body instantly appearing in Xiao Yan’s path. His snake tail swung, the terrifying power warping the space around it.

Sensing the terrifying power of the snake tail, Xiao Yan’s face changed, not daring to block it. He twisted his body, dodging the attack, but was still blocked from pursuing.

“Damn it! Old Hai, attack!” Xiao Yan cursed, dodging the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor’s continuous attacks, shouting to Hai Bodong.

“Hold him off for a moment!” Hai Bodong growled, forming hand seals, his sleeves quivering. A cold energy surged out of his body, instantly enveloping the entire area. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and in a few moments, a fierce wind howled, forming a snow-white icy blade. A gust of wind gradually formed a vortex, expanding to over ten meters wide.

The fierce wind howled, sharp icy blades shooting into it, forming a tornado covered in sharp ice blades, appearing in the sky.

With his own strength, creating such a fierce icy storm, even with Hai Bodong’s power, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Xiao Yan, move!” Shouting, seeing Xiao Yan retreat, Hai Bodong waved his sleeve, the massive icy storm roaring towards the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor.

“Heh, impressive, but I’m a six-star Battle Emperor. How can your two-star strength compete with me? Haha!” Seeing the icy storm, the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor laughed, his head shaking. Black flames erupted from his body, continuously pouring out, forming a black energy Eight-winged Black Snake above his head.

Swinging his massive tail, the black flame-formed snake shot out, colliding with the white icy storm. At the point of collision, tiny black cracks formed in the space.

**Boom!** The two terrifying energies clashed, exploding in the sky. The sound of the explosion could be heard even a kilometer away.

The instant of the explosion, a wave of energy rippled out, pushing both Hai Bodong and the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor back.

“Haha, with such expenditure, even if you’re a Battle Emperor, you can’t do it many more times, can you?” Seeing the sweat on Hai Bodong’s face, the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor roared.

“Eight Extremes Collapse!” Before the laughter had died down, the triangular pupils of the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor contracted, his black scales oddly tightening, a faint black oil seeping out, enveloping his massive body.

Xiao Yan’s figure suddenly appeared at the waist of the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor, his fist, enveloped in pale white flames, tightly clenched, smashing down with a fierce wind. At this moment, the wide black sleeves seemed to become as hard as steel.

**Boom!** The fist struck the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor’s body, but Xiao Yan’s face turned grim. The Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor’s body became as slippery as an eel. The punch hit the oily film and slid off.

However, part of the punch still hit the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor, the intense heat from the white flames causing the snake scales to curl.

“Ouch, that hurts!” The pain made the Eight-winged Black Snake Emperor’s massive body shrink, his tail lashing out, slamming into Xiao Yan’s back, sending him flying like a ball.

*Pfft…* The force on his back made Xiao Yan spit out a mouthful of blood, his wings rapidly flapping to steady himself.

*Sigh, after all, it’s not my own power. It’s hard to control,* Xiao Yan wiped the blood from his mouth, sighing inwardly.

“Are you okay?” Flying beside Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong asked.

“I’m fine.” Xiao Yan shook his head, anxiously looking at the distant horizon. During the delay, the woman in green had long since disappeared.

“What now? He can’t kill us, but with his speed, it’s not hard to hold us back.” Hai Bodong sighed, “And his attributes counter mine, his scales are incredibly defensive. If not for your Heavenly Flame, that punch wouldn’t have done much.”

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his breathing ragged.

“We don’t have powerful skills. It’s hard to repel him,” Hai Bodong sighed.

Xiao Yan was silent. The Bone Chilling Spirit Flame belonged to the Pharmacist Elder, so Xiao Yan’s control was far less flexible. Moreover, the spiritual power allowing him to fight a Battle Emperor was entirely the Elder’s. It was just that Xiao Yan was the conduit.

Even Eight Extremes Collapse had little effect. Xiao Yan’s last card was the Earth-class skill: Flame Parting Wave Scales!

Placing his hand on his shoulder, Xiao Yan touched the cold black ruler on his back. As he prepared to use his last card, his gaze fell on the Bone Chilling Spirit Flame on his left hand. After a moment of silence, a nearly crazy idea arose from the depths of his heart, growing uncontrollably.

“Perhaps this will be even more terrifying…”
