"Alliance Leader Xiao, you should know that the cost of asking for my help is very high!"
"And I must get the goods first!"
Mo Tian Xing smiled seemingly pleasantly, but he was actually a sinister and cunning person.
Xiao Yan's eyebrows twitched, but he looked at Su Qian, who had been severely injured by Mo Tian Xing, and secretly weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
Yao Chen "Give him the pill! This person can ambush and severely injure Su Qian; he can also immediately turn his spearhead against us. We still need his strength for the Heavenly Flame"
After hearing Yao Chen's analysis, Xiao Yan made a decisive judgment, took out a delicate wooden box from his Spatial Ring, and threw it to Mo Tian Xing.
"Ts-ts~ As expected, it's the Zong Breaking Pill!"
"Alliance Leader Xiao is indeed generous with his assistance!"
After Mo Tian Xing opened the wooden box and checked the pill to confirm it was correct, an excited smile appeared on his face.
"Please, Sect Master Mo, suppress the elders of Jia Nan Academy."
Xiao Yan respectfully gave a salute.
Hearing this, the members of Jia Nan Academy's expressions grew heavy.
"Grand Elder, you..."
"Still not dead!"
After taking a pill, Su Qian's pale face regained some color, but the injuries from being ambushed by a fellow Dou Ancestor were severe.
"Hmph! Sect Master Mo of the Black Emperor Sect, it's surprising that you, a well-known Dou Ancestor, would resort to such despicable tactics as ambushing!"
In response to Su Qian's scorn, Mo Tian Xing only smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Grand Elder. In the Black-Corner Region, ambushing is not considered a derogatory term."
"You!"
Su Qian was momentarily speechless; truly, someone who has no shame is invincible under heaven.
Xiao Yan looked embarrassed; clearly, he still had some sense of dignity, but now was not the time to dwell on such minor issues. Taking advantage of Mo Tian Xing's presence, he flew toward the sealed Fallen Heart Flame.
"Stop!"
In a fit of rage, Su Qian unleashed a mighty palm strike, and the immense Dou Qi surged like a tidal wave.
"Bang!"
Mo Tian Xing countered with a palm strike from afar, not only overpowering Su Qian's Dou Qi but also causing Su Qian to retreat repeatedly from the residual force. His strength was already superior to Su Qian's, and with Su Qian injured, the gap was even greater.
"Grand Elder!"
Seeing this, Hu Gan and the other elders rushed to provide assistance.
"Take care of yourselves first!"
The Gold and Silver Elders, along with the Yan Alliance experts, firmly blocked Hu Gan and the others.
"Only knowing brute force, little girl, let this Sect Master have a go at you!"
Fan Lao actively attacked Zi Yan. In his view, Zi Yan seemed to possess some kind of powerful bloodline power, which was perfect for his blood technique to absorb.
"Old geezer, take this punch!"
Zi Yan, unafraid, swung her small fists with terrifying brute force, directly challenging Fan Lao.
The two fought fiercely again!
Xiao Yan successfully approached the sealing formation and looked at the bound, coiled, and invisible fire serpent within. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It seems that Jia Nan Academy's people have already exhausted the Fallen Heart Flame quite a bit before this."
Just as Xiao Yan was about to break the seal, Yao Chen's voice echoed in his mind again: "Xiao Yan, you're still too young. The Fallen Heart Flame is deliberately pretending to be weak. In reality, once you break the seal, you'll face a powerful counterattack from it!"
"Hiss~ The Fallen Heart Flame is so cunning?"
Xiao Yan was immediately startled and retracted his hand.
Yao Chen: "Hehe! Don't worry, with me here, no matter how cunning the Heavenly Flame is, it won't be of any use. Relax your body, and let me take over!"
Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with a pale white fire, and his entire aura surged wildly.
"!!!"
"!!!"
Everyone from Jia Nan Academy and the Yan Alliance at the scene was shocked.
"This kid is actually a Dou Ancestor too?"
Su Qian was astonished.
"Yan Alliance Xiao Yan. It seems he does have some skills. No wonder he dares to be so arrogant in the Black-Corner Region."
Mo Tian Xing's eyes revealed a hint of wariness.
"The final trump card is finally revealed, huh?"
Yun Tianming, observing from the shadows, also locked onto the rapidly surging Soul Power of the opponent.
The pale white flames in Xiao Yan's hands looked no different from before on the surface, but only those with sharp senses would know that this was the genuine Chilling Bone Flame, whose power was several dozen times greater than the fire Xiao Yan used previously!
"Hiss?!"
Even the Fallen Heart Flame, which had been concealing its strength, felt a tremendous threat from the pale white flames. It could no longer hold back and frantically tried to break free from the seal to escape.
"Trying to escape now? It's too late!"
"Chilling Bone Fire Sealing Technique!"
This was a special fire technique created by Yao Chen, based on the Chilling Bone Flame, forming a vast Ice and Fire Seal Network. And not only did Yao Chen take action, but his attack was also a full-force strike comparable to a 4 Star Dou Ancestor!
The Fallen Heart Flame had deliberately not broken the seal, feigning weakness to deceive everyone. However, it did not expect that this trick would not escape the eyes of Yao Chen, a former Dou Venerate peak expert. At the crucial moment, bound by the seal, the Fallen Heart Flame could not avoid Yao Chen's full-power strike.
"Buzz—!!!"
Everyone saw a flash of cold white light, and the spreading cold wave forced both sides in the battle to use Dou Qi for defense. However, shockingly, the cold air that came into contact with Dou Qi turned into extremely hot flames, creating a literal ice-and-fire duality!
"Extreme cold and extreme heat coexist, the flame is pale white, with a skeletal form. Could it be the Chilling Bone Flame, ranked eleventh in the legendary Heavenly Flame Ranking?"
"Isn't that the Heavenly Flame of the Medicine Sovereign, who is known as the number one Alchemist of the Dou Qi Continent?"
"Who exactly is this Xiao Yan?"
Su Qian furrowed his brows. Coming from the Central Plains, he had often heard the legends of the Medicine Sovereign in his youth.
As the white mist dissipated, what appeared before everyone was a completely frozen invisible fire serpent.
"Heavenly Flame."
"Just like that, it was subdued?"
"This strength is terrifyingly powerful!"
Everyone was shocked and horrified by the sight.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed: "As expected of my master! This move is so impressive!"
Yao Chen's voice sounded somewhat weak: "Now, quickly seize the source Fire Seed of the Fallen Heart Flame!"
"Haha! Finally, my Heavenly Flame is within reach!"
With victory so close, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile proudly as he reached for the tiny Fire Seed within the invisible fire serpent.
At that moment, something completely unexpected happened.
"Boom——!"
Thunder roared as wings of lightning streaked through the air with such speed that it created a series of sonic booms! (Motionless Thunder Roar + Dou Qi Wings + Flying Dou Technique)
"What?!"
Yao Chen, possessing powerful Soul Power, was startled by the sudden and astonishing speed. To protect the physically vulnerable Xiao Yan, he had no choice but to wrap himself in the Chilling Bone Flame to form a defensive barrier.
However, the expected attack did not appear. Instead, a figure moving too fast for the naked eye to see swiftly passed over the frozen invisible fire serpent and accurately extracted the hidden source Fire Seed of the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Thank you, Alliance Leader Xiao, for assisting in sealing the Heavenly Flame. As Mentor of Jia Nan Academy, I Yun Tianming, expresses my gratitude!"
