In the sky, two figures eerily appeared; one in a golden robe and the other in a silver one. On closer inspection, it was evident that their faces were almost identical, both with white hair and beards, and their features seemed to be stamped from the same mold. The reputation of these two was not unfamiliar even to the elders of the inner academy, hence their expressions changed. These so-called Gold and Silver Sages were the top two experts on the Blacklist of the Black-Corner Region. Being twin brothers, and practicing the exact same cultivation techniques, they were only comparable to peak Battle Emperors when apart. However, if they fought together, they could even challenge Battle Sects, giving them a significant chance of victory. Thus, their renown was very high among the powerful in the Black-Corner Region, and even the inner academy’s elders had heard of them.
“Do you also wish to meddle in this matter?” Su Qian asked in a grim tone.
“Commissioned by others, we come for our own interests. There’s no way around it,” the golden-robed elder smiled at Su Qian.
“Old Su, I suggest you hand over the Heavenly Flame to Han Feng. If your Headmaster were here, we wouldn’t agree to this transaction. But unfortunately, that old man has been missing for so long. We don’t know if he’s dead or what,” the silver-robed elder laughed in a harsh tone, his voice matching that of the golden-robed elder.
“Heh, you’re dreaming. I want to see just how extraordinary the legendary Gold and Silver Sages are, who can fight opponents of a higher rank when they work together. Even without the Headmaster, you won’t get away with your insolence!” Su Qian sneered.
“If that’s the case, then your inner academy might not have enough strong people,” the golden-robed elder chuckled. Although Han Feng’s side had fewer people, they more than made up for it in strength, easily fighting two or even three academy elders at once.
Su Qian’s face turned cold, and he didn’t bother with more idle talk. He twirled his palms, and a torrent of majestic Dou Qi surged out, making the space quiver.
“Grand Elder Su Qian, I will ask you one last time. Will you hand over the Heavenly Flame, or not?” Han Feng, losing his patience, looked at Su Qian and said flatly.
Su Qian remained expressionless. In response to Han Feng’s question, he simply waved his sleeve, and a powerful stream of Dou Qi shot out, heading straight for Han Feng!
“Humph!” Su Qian’s first move caused Han Feng’s expression to turn cold. With a snort, he flicked his fingers, and a deep blue flame appeared in his palm. With a gentle wave, it collided fiercely with the Dou Qi.
“Boom!” A low explosion sounded, and the energy ripples sent Han Feng retreating a step before stabilizing. Despite having the aid of the Heavenly Flame, Su Qian was still a Battle Sect, and in a direct clash, the former couldn’t gain an advantage.
Without pausing, Su Qian’s figure turned into a lightning bolt, shooting towards Han Feng.
“Haha, Old Su, let us play for a while,” the golden and silver-robed figures flashed in front of Han Feng, smiling at the approaching Su Qian. Then, they tightly clasped their hands, and a powerful pale green Dou Qi shot out.
Darting to avoid the surging pale green Dou Qi, Su Qian reappeared in front of the two sages. Instantly, the three of them engaged in a fierce battle, with continuous sounds like thunder echoing in the chaotic blur of afterimages.
Seeing Su Qian occupied by the Gold and Silver Sages, Han Feng turned his gaze to Hu Gan and the others, waving his hand. He turned to the large group behind him and smiled, “Everyone, please take care of the others. I’ll go down and break the seal.”
“Just some Dou Wangs, leave it to us. Besides, I’ve never tasted the blood of the inner academy’s elders,” the Blood Sect Leader Fan Lao glared at Hu Gan and the others, revealing slightly sharp teeth. Since his son had mysteriously died in the Black-Corner Region and the murderer had not been found, Fan Lao’s already sinister nature had become even more unpredictable, and he often took lives and blood, extremely cruel.
“Haha, thank you all. After success, Han Feng will surely reward you generously,” Han Feng bowed to Fan Lao and the others, and the deep blue Dou Qi wings on his back fluttered as he descended towards the Blazing Sky Pillar Tower.
“Stop them!” Seeing this, Hu Gan waved his hand, and nearly thirty academy experts rushed out, blocking Han Feng’s path.
“Tsk tsk, your opponents are us,” over a dozen figures exuding a strong stench of blood appeared, forming a standoff with the academy experts.
Han Feng smirked, changed direction, and continued descending towards the Blazing Sky Pillar Tower. The moment the academy’s experts moved, the peak experts of the Black-Corner Region surged forward, colliding violently with them, quickly splitting the group.
The battle in the sky was sudden and intense. The students far away didn’t know exactly what was happening, but the continuous explosions of energy made their faces change. They could guess that the mysterious intruders meant harm.
Even though they knew this, the students, unable to help in the sky, could only watch and pray for the academy elders to drive off the intruders.
After the battle started, Han Feng flew towards the Blazing Sky Pillar Tower, and as he prepared to act, a sharp wind sound suddenly rang out overhead!
Frowning, Han Feng avoided the attack with a flap of his wings and looked up, seeing Hu Gan glaring at him with icy eyes.
“Don’t think about getting the Heavenly Flame!” Hu Gan’s mighty Dou Qi rapidly condensed as he spoke gravely.
“Alone, you can’t stop me,” Han Feng said, slightly surprised that Hu Gan had left the main battle, and then smiled. With his power and the aid of the Heavenly Flame, he was almost unrivaled among Battle Emperors. Even though Hu Gan was a peak Battle Emperor, Han Feng wasn’t overly concerned.
“Then let’s try,” Hu Gan sneered, and without further ado, his aura surged, enveloping Han Feng. Instantly, the two blurred into a ferocious battle.
Thus, the sky was plunged into complete chaos, filled with explosive battles. On the ground, Xiao Yan watched the chaos in the sky, dumbfounded. Su Qian was held up by the Gold and Silver Sages, and Hu Gan was in a fierce battle with Han Feng. The elders were each facing two or three enemies, and surprisingly, they were holding their own, showing the gap between Dou Wangs and Battle Emperors.
Dazed by the chaotic battle, Xiao Yan asked internally, “Teacher, what should we do now?”
“We can only wait. In such a battle, you can’t break the seal alone without becoming a target,” replied the Medicine Elder.
Nodding, Xiao Yan hid himself again under the cover of flames. Just as he concealed himself, a sharp gale shot from the sky, forcing him to dodge. Though he avoided the attack, he revealed himself. Thankfully, no one attacked him, but he couldn’t stay in the turbulent sky. Wrapping himself in bluish-green Dou Qi, he prepared to retreat.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to retreat, Fan Lao, in the middle of a fierce battle with three Dou Wangs, glanced over. His eyes suddenly fixed, and he recognized the figure wrapped in bluish-green Dou Qi. It was the back of the murderer he had extracted from his dead son’s blood!
Roaring in anger, Fan Lao’s red Dou Qi surged, pushing the three Dou Wangs back. Flapping his bloody wings, he shot towards Xiao Yan, his furious roar echoing across the sky.
“Little bastard, I’ve finally found you! You’ll die for my son!”
