Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 168

The invisible fire python instantly emerged from the black tower, its body several tens of feet in size, and coiled around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"This...this strange fire actually has a physical form!"

Han Feng stared in shock at the enormous fire python that had broken free of its seal, then exclaimed, "This...it's actually this kind of strange fire!"

With Han Feng's discerning eye, he could naturally recognize that what was sealed within the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was the Fallen Heart Flame, known as a cheat code for cultivation.

Without thinking, he temporarily put Xiao Fan out of his mind. In his opinion, this was just Xiao Fan's nonsense. No one knew what he had done, and no one had any evidence.

The sudden eruption of strange fire attracted all the elders in the inner courtyard.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, then thrust the tips of their spears directly into Fan Lao's throat.

A generation of Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) thus met his unfortunate end here.

Han Feng looked at the increasingly cold Fan Lao, gave Xiao Fan a deep look, and then said nothing more, landing beside the Black Corner Region expert not far away.

Now that Fan Lao is dead, he is no longer of any use to him. What excites him most at this moment is the strange fire that is about to break free from its seal.

"Haha, Han Feng, why don't we take advantage of these old guys in the inner courtyard sealing their strange flames and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

An elderly man with gray hair and a wrinkled face walked up to Han Feng and looked at the group of elders in the inner courtyard with a sinister expression.

His tone was filled with intense killing intent.

"Hehe, Elder Duan, don't be impatient. Let's wait until they're both exhausted."

Han Feng ignored the old man's suggestion and spoke instead.

This person had a deep conflict with the Inner Court, so he always tried to kill them. But Han Feng was different. Even if he succeeded in vying for the Strange Flame, he would only have a conflict with the Inner Court, not a blood feud.

After all, the Inner Court could tolerate Han Feng stealing the Strange Flame, but if it caused the death of many of the Inner Court elders, then it would be an irreconcilable feud.

Even Han Feng didn't want to take that risk.

Outside the Black Tower, the Grand Elder and his group landed around it. Because the anti-flight formation had not yet been lifted, the elders landed around the Black Tower and formed a thousand layers of seals again, trying to reseal the strange fire.

However, after the initial sealing and the subsequent fierce battle with the people of the Black Corner Region, these elders had already expended a great deal of energy. At this moment, it was practically impossible for them to reseal the strange fire, which had already recovered some of its strength.

"Quickly, give it your all, it'll be done soon!"

The Grand Elder looked at the thousand-layered seal that was about to solidify, his expression full of worry.

"boom!"

As expected, the seal formed by the elders was easily torn apart by the fire python at this moment!

The strange fire has been completely unsealed!

Chapter 250 Battle of Fire

"boom!"

The seal set up by the elders of the inner courtyard was easily torn apart by the attack of the invisible fire python.

The inner court elder, who was already in poor condition due to the battle, coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

"It happened."

The Grand Elder looked at the torn seal and stared at the strange fire that had emerged from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower with a grim expression. He waved his hand to rescue several elders who were too close to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, and could only watch helplessly as the fire python rampaged out of it.

After the fire python emerged from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, its body, several tens of feet in size, instantly came into the view of the group of powerful figures in the Black Corner Region.

Looking at the creature that had almost solidified into a tangible form, resembling a magical beast.

A hint of surprise flashed across Han Feng's face.

"This strange fire has actually grown to this level!"

Such a powerful strange fire is not an easy thing to subdue and devour.

The fire python that emerged from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, its eyes, usually filled with ferocity, now flashed with a hint of greed, as it sized up Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Han Feng.

All three possessed strange flames. If he could devour these flames, he would also gain a significant boost. At this moment, the positions of hunter and prey seemed to have shifted.

"Heh, it's nothing but a beast, yet it dares to try and devour me?"

Han Feng sensed the human-like greed in the fire python's eyes and felt a little disdainful. How dare a mere ball of flame defy the heavens?

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan also sensed the fire python's gaze, and Xiao Fan was immediately alarmed.

Back when I was inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, this flame seemed to be extremely hostile towards me. Now that it has broken free of its seal, I have to be even more careful.

Knowing the original plot, he didn't want to end up like Xiao Yan, being devoured by the giant fire python and sealed away for two years.

To prevent any accidents, he took out the Five Directions Anti-Air Formation at the beginning, in order to first repel the group from the Black Corner Region and then find an opportunity to subdue the Strange Fire.

With Fan Lao dead, the morale of the Black Corner Region was at its lowest point. With just a little more effort, they could be forced to withdraw.

After all, they only came because of the benefits promised by Han Feng. Once they realized that things were not going to work, they would naturally give up. After all, the gap between them had widened even further after Fan Lao's death, and their chances of succeeding were extremely slim.

Xiao Fan never expected that just as construction was about to begin, the sealed strange fire suddenly broke free and caused considerable injuries to the elders of the inner courtyard.

This time, the difference in strength between the two sides became strangely evenly matched once again.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, then looked at the fire python coiled around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower without making a move.

However, when Xiao Fan and the others did not move, the fire python turned its gaze to them.

"It seems he's targeting us first."

Xiao Fan sensed something was wrong as he felt the fire python's gaze.

Sure enough, the next moment, the huge body of the fire python rushed towards the location where Xiao Fan and the other person were.

"Hmph, since you've come to us, we won't be polite."

Xiao Fan gave a low shout, then said to Xiao Yan in an almost imperceptible voice, "Junior brother, since its target is us, let's take this opportunity to subdue it directly."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and gripped the Xuanzhong Ruler tightly in his hand.

The moment Xiao Fan and his companion prepared, the giant fire python had already rushed to within a short distance of them.

"grumble!"

The giant python raised its massive head and roared to the sky, letting out a sharp hiss. Then, to everyone's horror, flames rained down from the sky, engulfing the area where Xiao Fan and his companion were.

Everyone who looked at the trails of flame that filled the sky felt a sense of insignificance.

Xiao Fan frowned as he sensed the flames filling the sky. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame surged into his eyes, allowing him to clearly perceive the fire elemental power permeating the surrounding world.

"laugh!"

A faint rumble of thunder sounded, and Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan's bodies instantly transformed into silver streaks, dodging the attack of the fire pythons crashing down from the sky.

"Die to me!"

Holding the enormous Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand, Xiao Yan transformed into a blue fire figure, landing above the fire python's head and forcefully swinging it down.

Sensing Xiao Yan's attack, a hint of mockery flashed in the fire python's eyes. It raised its head and clashed fiercely with the Xuan Heavy Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand.

"boom!"

The attack that could easily injure a Dou Wang landed on the fire python's head, but left not a single mark.

On the contrary, Xiao Yan's figure was directly knocked back dozens of meters by the force of the fire python.

Calming his chaotic breathing, Xiao Yan looked at the almost unharmed fire python with a grim expression.

"Don't rush. What you see now is only its form. Its true form is hidden within this enormous body. Only by damaging its essence can you have a chance to suppress it."

The old man's calm voice came from Xiao Yan's heart and reached Xiao Yan's ears.

With Yao Lao's hint, Xiao Yan nodded slightly and then carefully observed the fire python's body.

Xiao Yan was knocked back by the attack. Xiao Fan reached out and obtained the Thousand Flame Spear. He then dodged and landed on the back of the fire python.

Azure flames swirled around the tip of the spear as Xiao Fan thrust it downwards with all his might, aiming at the scales on the back of the fire python.

"grumble!"

As Xiao Fan's Thousand Flame Spear pierced the fire python's back, the fire python let out a roar, its massive body tumbling and twisting incessantly, trying to throw Xiao Fan off.

Xiao Fan gripped the spear that was now wedged into the gaps in the fire python's scales, and lay prone, letting it roll around as it pleased.

After rolling around for a while, seemingly realizing that it had no effect, the fire python let out a sharp roar, and then invisible, eerie flames spread out from the gaps in its scales, gradually covering its entire body.

Sensing the flames emanating from the fire python, Xiao Fan immediately moved away from his spot as a silver streak.

After all, the invisible flames of the Fallen Heart Flame could appear strangely inside the body, and even Xiao Fan dared not get too involved with them.

"Brother, let me help you!"

Not far away, Xiao Yan rushed back into the battlefield, landed next to Xiao Fan, and told him what Yao Lao had told him about the fallen Heart Flame Origin.

Xiao Fan nodded, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Eyes covered by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame carefully observed the fire python's enormous body, trying to find its hidden origin.

Among the group of people watching the battle not far away, Han Feng's inner flames were also stirring, and he looked excitedly at Xiao Fan and the others fighting not far away.

Chapter 251 The Origin of Flame (Part 1)

Han Feng looked at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame erupting from Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"They're actually two Azure Lotus Earth Core Flames?"

Although different types of flames are not necessarily unique, the probability of the same type of flame appearing at the same time is quite small.
