It has to be said that after Zi Yan awakened, her strength was already close to that of a Dou Zong. Her battle with Feng Qing'er was a great pleasure for Lin Yan and Xiao Yan, with Lin Yan exclaiming that it was incredibly exciting.
"Feng Qing'er is still hiding her true abilities..."
Xiao Fan watched as Feng Qing'er and Zi Yan locked in a stalemate, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. His strength and understanding of Feng Qing'er far surpassed that of others, so he naturally knew that although Feng Qing'er had only just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, when she exerted her full strength, with the support of the Demon Phoenix Saint Statue and the Demon Phoenix Bell, her combat power was already comparable to a five-star Dou Zong. Yet, she was fighting Zi Yan to a standstill, clearly holding back her strength.
Xiao Yan, standing to the side, vaguely sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on where it came from. As for Lin Yan... he continued to watch the battle between Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er with a cheerful expression. After all, for a battle maniac like him, such a battle between evenly matched strong opponents was extremely rare.
Finally, after Zi Yan was struck by Feng Qing'er's palm again, her fist slammed into Feng Qing'er's stomach. Feng Qing'er then leaned back, and whether it was due to a miscontrolling error on her part, the Demon Phoenix Bell that had been suppressing the space seemed to have run out of steam and trembled slightly, its suppressive power weakening a bit.
"good chance!"
Upon seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Zi Yan's eyes. After being beaten for so long, she was now ready to take revenge.
The Ancient Dragon of the Void activated its innate skill, and Zi Yan's body, aided by Feng Qing'er's palm strike, directly pierced into the void, then appeared above Feng Qing'er's head. A punch, accompanied by a whistling sound, fell towards Feng Qing'er's head.
"Finally caught you!"
Seeing Zi Yan's actions, Feng Qing'er showed no surprise, but rather a hint of excitement. A dazzling energy gathered in her eyes, carrying an unparalleled aura, and shot towards Zi Yan's heart.
"The Demon Phoenix Sacred Line!"
Noticing the burst of energy beams from Feng Qing'er's pupils, Zi Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. She then subconsciously wanted to dive into the void again to hide, but found that the Demon Phoenix Bell, which seemed to have run out of steam and lost its ability to suppress space, had now sealed the space again.
Zi Yan tried to mobilize her battle qi again, but she could no longer escape the range of the swaying holy lines.
Chapter 113 Exposure of Essence and Blood
"laugh!"
At this critical moment, a faint rumble of thunder sounded, and then Zi Yan felt a strong hand pull her over.
"boom!"
Immediately afterward, a powerful sound of energy colliding rang out, and Zi Yan's body was uncontrollably pushed back several steps.
"Xiao Yan?"
Zi Yan looked closely and saw that Xiao Yan had one hand behind him to shield himself, and the other hand was holding the Xuan Heavy Ruler, blocking the attack that Feng Qing'er had just launched.
"Shh!"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and the golden, dazzling wings on his back retracted into his body before turning his gaze to Feng Qing'er.
Just now, thanks to the flying combat technique his senior brother had created for him, plus the Three Thousand Thunderbolts, Xiao Yan was able to block Feng Qing'er's attack in time.
Although his senior brother told him that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan could no longer detect the original aura of this flying combat technique after his modification, Xiao Yan was still a little apprehensive in front of Feng Qing'er. After blocking Feng Qing'er's attack, he immediately put away the flying combat technique.
"Three thousand thunderbolts!?"
Sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Yan, Feng Qing'er's face revealed a hint of anger.
"Well, Xiao Yan, you actually dared to steal my Wind and Thunder Pavilion's Three Thousand Thunder Movement!"
Feng Qing'er was already quite annoyed that her long-prepared killing move had been blocked by Xiao Yan, but seeing that Xiao Yan had actually stolen the Three Thousand Thunder Movements of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Feng Qing'er's face became even more furious, and all the excitement in her heart turned into unwilling killing intent.
Her beautiful eyes glared at Xiao Yan, filled with boundless rage.
"Feng Qing'er, I acquired this Three Thousand Thunderclaps technique at an auction house. How can that be considered stealing it? A low-rank Earth-level movement technique is right in front of you. Are you really going to give it up?!"
Xiao Yan listened to Feng Qing'er's words, his expression unchanged, but he tightened his grip on the Xuanzhong Ruler.
"Besides, we have no grudge against you. With us here, you can forget about harming Ziyan today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan looked at Feng Qing'er defiantly, a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yan's attitude, Feng Qing'er didn't say anything more. Having finally encountered a young Taixu Ancient Dragon, she was naturally unwilling to give up so easily at this moment.
Without hesitation, Feng Qing'er charged towards Xiao Yan. The Demon Phoenix Bell that had been suppressing the void was now retrieved by her and hovered above her head.
Seeing Feng Qing'er's actions, Xiao Yan gently pushed Zi Yan back, gripped the Xuan Heavy Ruler, and immediately went to meet her.
"laugh!"
Now that the Three Thousand Thunderbolts had been exposed, Xiao Yan no longer concealed it. He transformed into a bolt of lightning, arriving above Feng Qing'er's head before she could react. The Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand was enveloped in strange fire, and he smashed it down towards Feng Qing'er's head.
"boom!"
Feng Qing'er felt the attack from above and showed a hint of disdain on her face. The Demon Phoenix Bell above her head trembled slightly, emitting a dazzling light, and intercepted all of Xiao Yan's attacks.
"What a sturdy clock!"
Xiao Yan struck the Demon Phoenix Bell with his attack, but the bell showed no signs of breaking. Instead, the energy from the counterattack made Xiao Yan's arm go numb.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan's attacks were all blocked by the Demon Phoenix Bell, Feng Qing'er revealed a proud expression, her chin held high, and her eyes were full of disdain.
"Do you really think anyone can break my clan's Demon Phoenix Bell?" Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan as if he were an ant.
“A thief like you who steals fighting techniques should be killed directly according to the rules of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. However, since you have a past with Venerable Wind, I will simply cripple your fighting spirit so that you can no longer use the Three Thousand Thunder Strike.”
Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan with arrogance in her eyes, as if Xiao Yan was an insignificant little person in her eyes, and that crushing Xiao Yan would be as easy as crushing an insect.
"In that case, I, Xiao, will gladly accept your challenge!"
Facing the arrogant Feng Qing'er, Xiao Yan didn't say anything more. Ever since he auctioned off the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's corpse, Xiao Yan had already prepared himself to face the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Moreover, he had now revealed the Three Thousand Thunder Techniques to Feng Qing'er, and given Feng Qing'er's killing intent towards Zi Yan, a peaceful resolution between the two was impossible...
"boom!"
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the strange fire within his body roared out, and his strength, originally that of a one-star Dou Zong, rose to two-star Dou Zong under the enhancement of the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations...
"The boost to strength from the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations is becoming less and less significant..."
Feeling that his strength had only increased by a little over one star after becoming a Dou Zong, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.
"It seems we still need to go to the Burning Flame Valley as soon as possible to obtain the complete Heavenly Fire Three Mysteries..."
As Xiao Yan used the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations, facing Feng Qing'er, the strange fire within Xiao Yan roared out, enveloping the Xuan Heavy Ruler, and charged towards Feng Qing'er.
Faced with the threat of the strange fire, even Feng Qing'er dared not underestimate it. Although she said she looked down on Xiao Yan, as a fellow Dou Zong, and with Xiao Yan also possessing a strange fire, she became serious.
"Demon Phoenix Icon!"
In Feng Qing'er's eyes, dazzling energy shimmered, and the Demon Phoenix Saint Image she had used when facing Zi Yan reappeared behind her.
The instant the Demon Phoenix Saint Statue appeared, a jade bottle suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's hand without warning within his storage ring. The seals on the jade bottle were completely shattered, and a violent, bloody aura emanated from it.
"not good!"
Upon noticing the jade bottle appear out of nowhere, Xiao Yan cried out in alarm and quickly put it away, wrapping it tightly with his strange fire to isolate its aura.
In the distance, Xiao Fan watched this familiar scene and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Junior brother, the first whetstone... the Heavenly Phoenix Clan... has arrived..."
Poor Xiao Yan thought that the first whetstone Xiao Fan prepared for him was Feng Qing'er, but little did he know that she was the descendant of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Clan, one of the three great magical beast families in Zhongzhou.
"Xiao Yan!"
Feng Qing'er also sensed the aura within the jade bottle, and a look of surprise and anger appeared on her face.
"What's inside that jade bottle!?"
Before she could finish speaking, Feng Qing'er continued, her tone firm: "How dare you desecrate the corpses of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan members?! The corpses of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan members must be collected in the clan's forbidden area. Your actions will surely result in the entire Heavenly Phoenix Clan hunting you down!"
Upon hearing Feng Qing'er's words, Xiao Yan's expression instantly darkened...
Chapter 114 Feng Qing'er's Death
When Feng Qing'er and Zi Yan were fighting, Xiao Yan felt the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Essence Blood in his storage ring boil a bit. However, Xiao Yan thought that there would be no effect because of the storage ring, so he only slightly strengthened the seal on the jade bottle and put it away again without paying much attention to it.
He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's essence blood, which had been peacefully residing within the storage ring, would be attracted after Feng Qing'er used the Demon Phoenix Saint Image, suddenly appearing outside. Furthermore, the seal on the jade bottle was directly broken...
In this way, the fact that he possesses the essence blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix can probably no longer be hidden.
As expected, Xiao Yan felt a surge of killing intent when he heard Feng Qing'er's angry rebuke.
Now that Feng Qing'er knows that she has cultivated the Three Thousand Thunder Movements and possesses the essence blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, if she is allowed to leave like this, she will probably face a double pursuit from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's gaze towards Feng Qing'er was filled with a hint of killing intent.
However, the killing intent in Xiao Yan's mind immediately dissipated. Regardless, obtaining the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's essence blood and the Three Thousand Thunderbolts was purely by chance, not something he intentionally coveted. With Venerable Feng present, he might still be able to maneuver somewhat, but if he were to truly kill Feng Qing'er here, he would completely offend both the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan...
However, the most urgent task is to deal with Feng Qing'er first.
Xiao Yan made up his mind instantly and had no intention of delaying any longer. He put away the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand and looked at Feng Qing'er not far away. Xiao Yan's eyes were solemn and several strange flames roared out from his body.
"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Tortoise Spirit Earth Flame, appear!"
Looking at Feng Qing'er not far away, Xiao Yan's eyes were indifferent. The three different flames continued to merge and slowly dissolve in front of Xiao Yan.
As Feng Qing'er sensed the increasingly agitated aura emanating from Xiao Yan, a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes. Not wanting to give Xiao Yan another chance, she flapped the wings of the Demon Phoenix Saint Statue behind her, and Feng Qing'er's figure instantly closed in on Xiao Yan.
"Shh!"
Xiao Yan looked at Feng Qing'er, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He unfolded his folded golden wings again, and with a flap of his wings, he instantly widened the distance between himself and Feng Qing'er.
Despite the terrifying speed of the Three Thousand Thunderbolts and the golden wings, Feng Qing'er could not match Xiao Yan's speed and could only watch helplessly as he escaped her attack range.
As the two continued their chase, the three-colored flames in Xiao Yan's palm gradually merged, forming a fire lotus exuding an aura of destruction...
Feng Qing'er felt the fire lotus appearing in Xiao Yan's palm, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, even a hint of disbelief.
She couldn't accept that a kid with no background could unleash such terrifying power!
"Destroy the Fire Lotus, go!"
Faced with Feng Qing'er's doubts, Xiao Yan showed no mercy. The fire lotus in his hand flew towards Feng Qing'er, radiating destructive power, and exploded in front of her in the blink of an eye.
