*Bam!* Above the sky, two figures abruptly collided, fists and feet meeting. A thunderous explosion echoed through the heavens.
The moment they touched, they quickly retreated, one of them with slightly disordered steps, clearly having suffered a small disadvantage in the fierce exchange.
“Hehe, Elder Su Qian, do you really think I’m still the same Han Feng from back then?” Han Feng, lightly stepping on the void, stabilized himself and sneered at Su Qian, who was staggering back nearby.
“I didn’t expect you to have improved so much in these few years. But to defeat an old man like me, your little tricks are still lacking,” Su Qian replied calmly, though he had the upper hand.
“Old man, that was just a warm-up. You really think those are my only tricks? If I hadn’t lost the ‘Sea Heart Flame,’ it would take no effort to kill you!” Han Feng shook his head, but as his mocking words fell, a sudden burst of potent, fiery energy erupted in the distance. The sheer intensity of this energy made even Han Feng’s face change slightly, and he quickly turned to look. His pupils constricted abruptly, “Xiao Yan!”
In the direction of Han Feng’s gaze, a black-robed youth hovered in the air, his hands interweaving two flames of different colors. As they merged, bursts of violent, terrifying energy exploded—something Han Feng was all too familiar with. He had been injured by Xiao Yan’s strange fire technique, leading to his near-death experience. Seeing it now sent a shudder down his spine. He knew Xiao Yan’s Fire Lotus technique was lethal, even against a Battle Sect.
Just as Han Feng sensed Xiao Yan’s movement, Mo Tian Xing, who was battling the Little Healer Immortal, also felt it. He swiftly turned his gaze, and upon seeing the source of the energy, his expression changed. Already pinned down by the Little Healer Immortal, if Xiao Yan joined the fight, it would be a dire situation for him.
“Han Feng, stop him!” Remembering the terrifying consequences of being ambushed, Mo Tian Xing shivered. Trapped by the Little Healer Immortal, he could only shout at Han Feng furiously.
Upon hearing Mo Tian Xing’s command, Han Feng’s brows furrowed. He gritted his teeth, “These three trash, not even able to stall one person…”
With that, he turned and prepared to rush toward Xiao Yan.
“Do you think I don’t exist?” As Han Feng moved, a figure flashed in front of him. Su Qian smiled.
“Get out of the way, old coot!” Han Feng’s face turned cold as he swung his sleeve, sending a surge of potent Dou Qi hurtling toward Su Qian.
Su Qian stepped back slightly, and with a flick of his finger, his soft robe turned as hard as gold, directly countering the incoming Dou Qi. A loud explosion shattered it, and then he transformed into a streak of lightning, charging at Han Feng, pinning him down once more.
Enraged, Han Feng unleashed all his formidable Dou Qi. With a sweep of his arms, huge waves of Dou Qi resembling giant swords swept across the sky, causing the surrounding mountains to crumble under their force.
As Xiao Yan and the others engaged in their fierce battle, the commotion drew the attention of many. Soon, some Black-Corner Region strongmen arrived, but when they saw the sky-splitting battle, they retreated cautiously, fearing being caught in such a high-level fight, which could be deadly.
As the battle intensified, more and more people were drawn to it. Many began to understand the reason behind the intense fighting. Apart from the allure of the Bodhi Transforming Body Fluid, what else could cause so many Battle Sects to unleash their full power?
Though many guessed the cause of the fight, the waves of terrifying Dou Qi pressure coming from the sky made even the greediest quietly retreat. They had no place in such a battle, and so, these spectators could only watch the rare, intense fight from a safe distance.
…
In the sky, Xiao Yan focused intently on merging the two different fires in his palm. With his current strength, creating the Buddha’s Anger Fire Lotus was second nature. Under his control, the Jade Green Flame and the Fallen Star Flame were rapidly fusing.
*Boom!* A graceful figure flashed by, her palm delivering a terrifying force that pierced through space. The force landed on Qi Shan’s pale face.
*Pfft!* The impact turned Qi Shan’s face crimson, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Even his chest caved in from the force. He was severely wounded, and under the stunned gazes of many, he crashed into the forest, his fate unknown.
After defeating Qi Shan, Zi Yan exhaled, her chest rising and falling with her breath. A purple light burst from her body, and within this glow, her mature, alluring figure began to shrink. In just a few blinks, the mature beauty transformed back into a little girl.
Her face pale, she wiped the sweat from her brow and looked toward Xiao Yan, who now held a fully formed jade green fire lotus in his palm. The lotus floated, rotating gently, emitting a faint glow that hid a destructive power.
Seeing the lotus form, Xiao Yan sighed in relief. He raised his head, smiled at Zi Yan, and flicked his finger, sending a pill flying to her. She swallowed it without hesitation, landing beside Xiao Yan, her eyes warily scanning the spectators.
“Good job,” Xiao Yan patted her head, smiling. Then, he looked at Mo Tian Xing and Han Feng, his voice echoing across the mountains, “Elder Mo, Han Feng, who wants to take a hit?”
Xiao Yan’s words caused both Mo Tian Xing and Han Feng to pale. Their opponents were formidable, and they couldn’t afford to be distracted. If Xiao Yan used his dangerous Fire Lotus technique, they might meet a grim fate, or even be killed by a counter-attack.
Mo Tian Xing, after a moment’s thought, broke free from the Little Healer Immortal and shouted, “Master Xiao, don’t be rash.”
Xiao Yan glanced at him, smiling, “Elder Mo, do you want to continue?”
Mo Tian Xing surveyed the area, his heart sinking. He hadn’t expected Xiao Yan to dispatch the three elders of the Devil Flame Valley so quickly, making the situation dire. He was already at a slight disadvantage against the Little Healer Immortal, and adding Xiao Yan with his unpredictable moves would surely lead to defeat.
With a heavy sigh, Mo Tian Xing bowed to Xiao Yan, “As expected of the Master of the Hall of Xia. Today, the Black Emperor Clan will no longer interfere.”
His declaration caused a stir. All eyes turned to the black-robed youth. A single word had driven a Battle Sect back, confirming the rumors of the powerful and feared abilities of the Master of the Hall of Xia.
Han Feng, hearing this, his face darkened. Without Mo Tian Xing to restrain the Little Healer Immortal, how could he handle two Battle Sects and the ever-watchful Xiao Yan?
