. In the jungle, Xiao Yan was desperately fleeing.
Although he didn't know what had become of his teacher, he knew that staying would only be a burden to him.
As Xiao Yan ran for his life, suddenly...
"Junior brother, stop running! You can't escape my grasp... I promised you I'd reunite with that old man, and I won't break my promise!"
Xiao Yan looked up at the voice and saw the figure standing in mid-air across from him.
"How could it be you! Teacher..."
Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. He had never expected Han Feng to catch up so quickly. Could it be that the teacher had...
Impossible!
Seeing Xiao Yan's terrified expression below, Han Feng's eyes flashed with joy.
Knowing that the old man Yao Chen had actually passed on the complete Burning Art to the young man before him, Han Feng was filled with jealousy.
"Little thing, I'll take you to see that old man right now!" He
extended his right hand, and an invisible force instantly enveloped Xiao Yan.
Seeing the opponent's direct attack, Xiao Yan initially wanted to dodge... Unfortunately, at that moment, he felt as if a mountain had been crushed upon him, unable to even move a finger!
"This... is this the power of a Dou Huang?"
Veins bulged in his neck, his face flushed crimson, but Xiao Yan remained unable to move an inch.
But just as he felt certain death, all the pressure suddenly vanished...
Plop!
His body suddenly relaxed, and the already exhausted Xiao Yan fell directly to the ground.
However, his eyes were fixed on the sky, on the black figure that suddenly appeared above him, facing Han Feng from a distance.
"Oh my god! Another Dou Huang!"
Mo Tang, sensing the pressure from afar, turned his gaze and saw Han Feng and the suddenly appearing black figure.
Sensing the figure, surprisingly no weaker than Han Feng, Mo Tang stroked his chin and thought to himself, "This must be Ling Ying, the one Xiao Xun'er sent to protect Xiao Yan..."
Dou Huang Ling Ying, a high-level Dou Huang, even though he still lacked Han Feng's strength, with him around, protecting Xiao Yan shouldn't be a problem.
"This is getting interesting..."
Powerful figures appeared one after another, and the situation was becoming increasingly exciting.
Xiao Yan was worthy of being the protagonist of the original novel, the son of Dou Qi Continent's destiny. Look at the powerful guardians surrounding him. It was a relief that he hadn't been foolish enough to attack him himself.
"Who are you?!"
Han Feng's eyes fixed on the black-robed figure in the sky. The powerful aura emanating from the figure made his face turn pale.
He had thought today's outcome was a sure thing, but he hadn't expected such a twist!
"You can call me Ling Ying."
The black-robed figure lowered his head slightly, revealing a dark, aged face. He offered Xiao Yan a reassuring smile as he spoke.
Frowning, Han Feng looked at Ling Ying and said, "My friend, I'm Han Feng, a peak-level sixth-grade alchemist. If you don't interfere with what happened today, I'd like to offer you a sixth-grade Imperial Pill!"
The Imperial Pill, a sixth-grade elixir capable of instantly increasing the strength of a Dou Huang by one star, was a temptation no Dou Huang could resist.
Han Feng's willingness to make such a promise suggested he was wary of this unexpected Dou Huang.
More importantly, Han Feng didn't want this sudden appearance to disrupt his plans.
If he let Yao Lao escape, he thought he could just flee into the wilderness...
Ling Ying chuckled, looked at Han Feng, and said, "As expected of the Medicine Emperor, you're generous. But, alas..."
"I've been ordered to take this little fellow named Xiao Yan away unharmed today."
Han Feng's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Ling Ying, saying, "It seems you're determined to go against me?"
Ling Ying didn't say a word, but his attitude spoke volumes.
Han Feng, furious, spread his hands, and a violent surge of Dou Qi emanated from them...
"Then die!"
"Sea Flame Halberd!"
A flaming halberd composed entirely of sea heart flames instantly took shape between Han Feng's hands. He thrust his palms forward, and instantly, the massive flaming trident, stretching across the sky, shot out, transforming into a fiery dragon-like beam that slammed straight into Ling Ying!
"Shadow Clone!"
Ling Ying gazed at the flaming trident, his face filled with solemnity.
With a roar, his figure suddenly split into countless black shadows, covering the entire sky.
The vast sky was covered by black shadows, even blocking out the pouring sunlight!
Han Feng's Sea Flame Halberd was like a flaming dragon, directly breaking through the boundless darkness, but it did not harm Ling Ying's body at all.
Taking this opportunity, Ling Ying's eyes flashed coldly, and she clasped her hands together at Han Feng from a distance.
"Ten Thousand Shadow Binding!"
As the voice fell, the darkness that filled the sky suddenly surged, and a vast expanse of black silk spewed out from it, entwining with each other, and then bound Han Feng.
"Let's go!"
Ling Ying's figure suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yan below, and then she grabbed his shoulders, spreading her fighting spirit wings, and prepared to leave.
"How can it be so easy!"
Han Feng suddenly roared in the sky, and then saw that his body, which had been entangled by the black shadows, suddenly erupted with scorching blue flames, and then broke free in an instant!
"What trouble..." Ling Ying's face turned ugly, and she had to let go of Xiao Yan and prepare to fight Han Feng again.
Han Feng, having escaped from the Shadow Binding, looked at Ling Ying with a gloomy look in his eyes. He whispered, "I didn't expect you to have such a method, but this is enough!"
As he finished speaking, the seals in Han Feng's hands suddenly shifted, and a surge of Dou Qi surged forth from his body. This Dou Qi was so powerful that it far surpassed that of an ordinary peak Dou Huang!
"Is this... a secret technique to enhance strength?" Ling Ying's face grew increasingly solemn.
It seemed Han Feng was truly prepared to kill...
"Little one, you'd better stay away. Han Feng looks like he's ready to fight to the death. From now on, I won't be able to take care of you..."
Xiao Yan nodded palely, barely managing to calm himself. "Don't worry, senior, I'll take care of myself. Be careful!"
With that, he staggered away.
However, his actions did make Han Feng's lips curl slightly, and then...
"Light Seal!"
A dazzling beam of light cut through the space. Indistinctly, a huge handprint appeared in the beam, like the sun falling from the sky, carrying a terrifying and creepy energy.
Such a terrifying energy fluctuation made Ling Ying's face gradually gloomy.
His palm slowly extended from his sleeve, and the dark energy mist rapidly condensed in the palm of his hand. In a blink of an eye, it condensed into a black spear over two meters long.
"Demon Snake Bite!"
The spear in his hand brought up a huge streak of light that was over ten feet long and shot towards the light seal.
But at this moment, a black shadow that had been hidden for a long time suddenly flew out from the forest, and then before Xiao Yan could react, it flashed past him in an instant...
