"Yanran, who is this guy?" Shen Xiang asked.
Yan Yanran originally didn't know who the person who came to her rescue was, but she quickly guessed that this was Shen Xiang, who was rumored to be missing in the Ten Heavens Holy Mountain! She heard about the Dragon Subduing Sect a few days ago, and that it had occupied a dragon vein. At that time, she suspected that the Dragon Subduing Sect was the one established by Shen Xiang.
Now that Shen Xiang appeared in front of her, she was certain that the Dragon Subduing Gate in the Evil Dragon Burial Ground must have been established by Shen Xiang.
"A son of the city lord!" Yan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally planned to kill this guy and leave.
Shen Xiang released his divine power and quickly found the City Lord's Mansion in the city. Then he aimed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and picked up the man in the golden robe.
"snort!"
Shen Xiang's snort was like thunder, generating a very strong impact force. The man in the golden robe was blown away by this powerful force and flew straight towards the City Lord's Mansion in the distance. He passed through many buildings along the way and finally crashed into the door plaque of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Pack up and come with me to find Sister Lan!" Shen Xiang said.
Yan Yanran looked at Chen Xiang with charming eyes, and a smile appeared on her face, but then her face darkened again: "Lan Lan is in trouble, and I don't know where she is now! What happened between Lan Lan and me is a long story!"
Yan Yanran let out a long howl, calling back many birds and beasts, putting them into the mysterious beast bag, then she packed up briefly and walked out of the shop with Shen Xiang.
Just as they stepped out of the shop, they saw a large group of people surrounding them. These people were all wearing armor and were quite powerful. It was obvious at a glance that they were from the City Lord's Mansion.
Then a luxurious carriage slowly drove over. Yan Yanran pulled Chen Xiang's hand and suddenly clenched it tightly. She whispered: "The City Lord is here. The King's City is no longer controlled by the Human King Clan. You have to be careful."
Shen Xiang was very surprised that the City of Kings was not controlled by the Human King Clan. However, he was not worried about the city lord now, because the city lord had only survived the fourth or fifth calamity of Nirvana and was not a threat to him at all.
"You are the one who hurt my son?" The city lord asked calmly while sitting in the carriage, his voice carrying a hint of anger, and he looked like he could slap Shen Xiang to death with just one slap.
"That's right, you don't need to thank me for sparing your life. The reason why I beat him at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was to lure you out!" Shen Xiang said lightly.
"How dare you! Capture him!" The city lord was angry. Although his strength was not top-notch, many powerful people would give him some face if he relied on his connections.
Shen Xiang sneered, and he stretched out his arms and groaned softly. Those who were rushing towards him were suddenly blocked by something, and it was as if they had hit a solid wall.
"So you bunch of minions, don't bother me, get out of my way!" Shen Xiang shouted loudly, and a gust of wind gushed out of his mouth, transforming into golden dragons, with fangs and claws bared, covering the soldiers everywhere. The dragon's energy was like a real dragon, entwining these soldiers and biting them into a bloody mess.
"How dare you resist in front of me!" The city lord shouted angrily, and he was seen controlling the carriage and rushing towards Shen Xiang.
"I am the mayor of the City of Kings. If you resist me, you will become the enemy of many forces in the City of Kings. You are an ungrateful person." As the carriage drove over, the mayor sneered with disdain.
Yan Yanran was not worried about Shen Xiang at all. As a guy who could come out alive from the Ten Days Holy Mountain, she didn't need to worry about him at all.
Several horses suddenly neighed, and these strong horses crashed into a transparent wall, with their heads broken and bleeding. If the city lord had not used his strong internal energy to stabilize the carriage, the carriage would have fallen apart.
"You're asking for death. I'm just worried that I don't have anything to practice with!" A golden light suddenly shot out from between Shen Xiang's eyebrows, and his powerful divine power suddenly emerged. Then his body was burning with flames, and the flames shot out from his body, turning into a fire dragon, flying towards the carriage in front.
The city lord was horrified because he found himself in a seal, surrounded by invisible walls. He couldn't even release his power. He suddenly realized that the man in front of him was very strong and had strange means of releasing power.
The raging fire released by Shen Xiang wrapped around the carriage, turning it into a fireball that burned in the air, while the city lord was wailing madly inside. If you look closely, it feels a lot like the scene in the Alchemist!
That's right, Shen Xiang was using the Heavenly Refining Technique!
The art of Tianlian can refine everything in the world, of course including humans. Shen Xiang is certainly not trying to refine humans into pills now, he is not at that level yet, but he can still refine the city lord to death.
A great battle broke out here, alarming many people, and the city lord himself even went into battle. However, when many powerful men arrived, they saw a strange sight in the sky: a huge ball of flame was floating in the air, burning fiercely, just like the one burning medicinal materials in an alchemy furnace.
The magic furnace that Shen Xiang released now was very huge, and could accommodate a carriage! His flames were very terrifying, and people with similar strength to him could hardly resist the fire of heaven and earth that he had released with all his strength. In just a few strokes, the city lord was severely burned.
The carriage and other things were all impurities and were soon melted away. The true qi and the flesh in the city master's body gradually separated. The smelted true qi turned into a ball of white mist and rose to the top of the alchemy furnace, while the flesh turned into white ash containing pure energy and merged with the true qi.
Shen Xiang didn't expect that he could really refine a person into a pill, but he still felt that something was missing, and it was also difficult to control.
boom!
With a loud bang, many cracks appeared on the ground in the center of the City of Kings. Shen Xiang's huge alchemy furnace exploded. This was the self-detonation of a powerful man who had achieved Nirvana. The power was immense. Many shops were affected. If it weren't for the magic furnace that blocked it, there would have been countless casualties!
The City of Kings was immediately shaken. The central area was shrouded in a thick layer of true energy and filled with white mist. A large number of powerful people rushed to the area.
"Hurry up!" Shen Xiang pulled Yan Yanran, took shrinking steps, and disappeared in the smoke.
Yan Yanran witnessed all of this with her own eyes. She had seen Shen Xiang use the magic furnace to refine pills. Even though she was not proficient in alchemy, she could see that Shen Xiang was refining the City Lord as if he were a pill, and he almost succeeded, but in the end he couldn't control himself and the furnace exploded!
If Shen Xiang had beaten the city lord into a meat paste with one palm, Yan Yanran might not have been surprised, but the fact that he had refined the city lord to death made her shocked. She did not expect that Shen Xiang actually had the incredible ability to refine a living person into pills. If this were to be spread out, he would definitely be hunted down by all walks of life, because this was something that heaven and earth could not tolerate.
Shen Xiang originally just intended to refine that guy to death, but later he suddenly felt that he could succeed, so he gave it a try. Who knew it really worked, but he was worried about being discovered, so he didn't want to continue, which eventually led to the explosion of the furnace.
