Nie Yuan never expected that Xiao Yan would dare to take the initiative to attack him.
but.
Upon realizing the overwhelming force of the enemy's offensive, he immediately understood Xiao Yan's plan.
Nie Yuan smirked, clenched his right fist, and slammed it out to meet the descending force.
His black sleeves suddenly billowed up, followed by a terrifying burst of fiery battle aura emanating from his fist, causing the surrounding temperature to rise abruptly.
The moment that aura burst forth, the surrounding air seemed to be filled, becoming exceptionally thick and stagnant.
Xiao Yan suddenly felt short of breath, as if he were stuck in a swamp and unable to move.
A fierce gust of wind blew the brim of his black robe over, revealing his face filled with terror and astonishment.
Xiao Yan never imagined that the sneaky person was actually a Dou Huang powerhouse.
[Ding! Xiao Yan is experiencing a depressed mood; mood value +99]
[Ding! Yao Chen is shocked; emotion value +99]
The old alchemist was also surprised. He was very confident in his soul power, after all, he was a powerful alchemist.
But to his utter surprise, someone was able to hide their strength right under his nose.
He wouldn't have seen through it if the other party hadn't intervened.
If Yao Lao had known beforehand that the opponent was a Dou Huang, he definitely wouldn't have ordered Xiao Yan to take action.
Right now, they've really tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
"Do not resist."
Yao Lao reminded Xiao Yan, and white flames surged from the ring on Xiao Yan's hand, quickly entering Xiao Yan's body.
The next instant, white flames appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes, and his aura suddenly surged.
At that moment, Nie Yuan's fiery aura descended.
boom!
Having his body temporarily taken over, Yao Lao had no time to retaliate and could only focus on defense.
The powerful force pushed Xiao Yan backward, smashing through several walls.
The clash of their fighting spirits unleashed a violent burst of energy that swept wildly through the surrounding buildings.
Dust and smoke rose, and the sound of houses collapsing rang out one after another.
"teacher..."
Xiao Yan noticed that Yao Lao's power had disappeared, and a sense of worry arose in his heart.
"I'm fine. You're lucky, kid. Someone's here to help you."
The old doctor chuckled twice and quietly disappeared.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was a little confused until a figure in black robes landed in front of him.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why did you still come to the snake-people's city? Don't you know what death means?"
A familiar voice, tinged with reproach yet mixed with concern, quietly entered Xiao Yan's ears.
Xiao Yan's spirits lifted, and his face lit up with joy. "Yunzhi? Is that you?"
Previously in the Monster Mountain Range, the other party left without saying goodbye, and he thought he would never have the chance to see them again.
I never expected to run into you here.
Now Xiao Yan understood why the other party had suddenly helped him in the desert.
"Stop talking, this isn't the place to talk. I'll distract you, and you take this opportunity to leave, run as far away as you can, understand?!"
Yun Yun, with her back to Xiao Yan, spoke rapidly.
She felt she had overestimated this guy's courage in the Monster Mountain Range, but now it seemed she had underestimated him.
"No, I won't leave unless I get the Strange Flame."
Xiao Yan refused the other party's kindness without even thinking, as the strange fire was too important to him.
Not only does he need a different kind of fire as an alchemist, but his cultivation technique, the Burning Technique, also requires a different kind of fire to level up.
"Strange Fire?"
Yun Yun turned around, and beneath the hood, a look of astonishment appeared on her delicate face. "You, a Dou Shi, want something like that? Are you crazy? Forget about refining it, you might be burned to death by the strange fire if you even get close!"
Xiao Yan revealed a confident smile, "You don't need to worry about that. I have a plan. Anyway, I definitely won't leave until I get the Strange Fire." A look of determination flashed across Yun Yun's brows.
As the conversation progressed, the dust that had been stirred up earlier slowly settled.
As the dust and mist gradually cleared, a blazing flame pierced through the void.
Whoosh!
The longsword in her hand was wrapped in a cyan wind-attribute battle aura. As Yun Yun slashed out, it transformed into a wind blade, splitting the fireball in two.
Just as Nie Yuan was about to charge forward, he suddenly stopped and dodged to the side.
The next second, a turquoise wind blade shot out from in front, grazing his body and disappearing into the ground, leaving a crack more than a meter long.
The moment the wind blade appeared, Nie Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
The dust settled, revealing a street.
Two people dressed in black robes looked at each other.
On both sides were houses that had been reduced to ruins, and on the broken walls and in mid-air, the gazes of many figures were looking in this direction.
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed as he quickly thought things through. Then, he covered his face with his hat and rushed toward the nearby ruins.
His teacher had told him before that if he climbed further up, he would see the strange fire.
With Yunzhi helping to stall the other side, now is a good opportunity.
The instant Xiao Yan moved, Nie Yuan also discerned his intentions and moved as well.
He knew very well that once Medusa decided to evolve, she would use an array to seal off the surroundings.
Therefore, in order to obtain the Strange Flame and acquire Medusa's emotional value...
He had to get close to Medusa before the barrier rose.
Take a step forward.
Nie Yuan lifted off the ground, crimson battle aura wings appearing on his back, supporting his body as he rushed towards the ruins.
Whoosh!
Just then, a wind blade carrying a sharp aura shot from the side.
Flames erupted from Nie Yuan's body, then materialized, forming a suit of armor that covered his body.
Clang!
The wind blades struck the red crystal-like armor, producing a crisp sound like metal clashing against metal.
The echoes reverberate through these ruins.
Yun Yun's sword-wielding arm hung down, the tip of the sword pointing towards the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.
The Gama Empire doesn't have many Douhuang-level experts.
In her memory, her husband Nie Yuan was one of the fire-attribute Dou Huangs.
but.
Nie Yuan was hit by Queen Medusa's Serpent Seal Curse, and his strength is currently at the Great Dou Master level, so he definitely hasn't recovered yet.
Who is this fire-attribute Dou Huang who suddenly appeared?
"For the sake of our friendship in the Monster Mountain Range, Yunzhi, stop him for me!"
Xiao Yan rushed forward a few steps, but was stopped again. Realizing that he could not overcome the gap between himself and the Dou Huang with his own strength, he quickly asked for help.
Upon hearing this, Nie Yuan lightly touched a rooftop with his toes and stopped, turning around to look at the figure.
Even without the name Yunzhi, he knew that the person inside was Yunyun.
As the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, a powerful Dou Huang... you... Yun Yun!
What choice would you make?!
At this moment, Nie Yuan was not in a hurry. It seemed that something else had appeared that he cared more about than the strange fire.
This thing is not an object, but a person's choice.
Standing still, Yun Yun slightly raised her black robe, her gaze shooting out from under the brim of her hat as she looked upwards.
A figure clad in flame armor stood atop the roof, a solitary full moon hanging behind his head.
The other person was backlit by the moonlight, and despite the presence of fiery battle aura, only the outline of a chin and tightly pursed lips could be vaguely discerned.
It seems like the other party is waiting for something.
Yun Yun was slightly stunned, somewhat confused by the answer she had come up with. Why did she have this feeling?
Not far away, Xiao Yan was still urging them on.
Yun Yun tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword and raised it toward the figure whose back was to the full moon.
