Just as Xiao Yan was starting to panic, a calm voice rang in his ears, soothing his agitated heart once again...
Chapter 122 Appearance
Only after hearing Xiao Fan's reminder did Xiao Yan realize what was happening.
As Elder Yao had mentioned before, the Five-Round Fire Technique is divided into five levels. Mastering each level allows one to control a different type of flame and conjure a fire spirit.
The five fire spirits are a wolf, a leopard, a tiger, a lion, and a dragon.
Furthermore, when the five elements are gathered, they can be fused into the Five-Round Fire Array. This Five-Round Fire Array is already a high-level Earth-rank combat skill. Moreover, if four of the flames that constitute the fire element are exotic flames, its power can be comparable to a Heaven-rank combat skill.
Although Xiao Yan mastered the Five-Round Fire Technique and successfully condensed five fire spirits, he forgot something.
His current strength is simply insufficient to support him in fully unleashing this terrifying move.
If Xiao Fan hadn't reminded him at the crucial moment, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit would have been completely drained before the Five Flame Needles could even be formed. Without the energy source for his fighting techniques, he might have even injure himself.
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's reminder, Xiao Yan secretly exclaimed how close he had come to disaster. He then used his familiarity with flames to summon the Azure Water Flame, replacing one of the wolf-shaped fire spirits. The power emanating from the entire formation instantly diminished considerably.
However, there are still four different types of strange flames among them, and even with Xiao Yan's strength, he still cannot fully utilize them.
"Roar!"
Just then, a purple fiery lion galloped from behind Xiao Yan and pounced towards the center of the formation.
"Brother!"
As Xiao Yan sensed the familiar fluctuations emanating from the Purple Flame Lion, a smile appeared on his face. He understood Xiao Fan's plan. The moment the Purple Flame Lion under Xiao Fan's control leaped into the formation, the strange fire lion spirit that Xiao Yan had originally condensed also instantly dissipated.
The formation, which originally possessed five different types of fire spirits, was instantly weakened, leaving only three of them.
Despite this, Xiao Yan still felt the pressure emanating from the formation, but fortunately, after two reductions, the current energy expenditure was within his tolerance range...
Although Xiao Yan's action was complex, his coordination with Xiao Fan was completed in an instant.
Xiao Fan realized that Xiao Yan was using five different kinds of fire spirits and immediately understood the danger involved. He immediately used his voice to stop Xiao Yan and used purple fire to condense a fire lion to help Xiao Yan avoid the crisis.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan was already very familiar with the Five-Wheel Fire Technique, and his strength far surpassed Xiao Yan's. This allowed him to use purple fire to condense the spirit of the fire lion during this crisis, helping Xiao Yan reduce the power of his fighting technique.
As the five fire spirits merged, a huge disc slowly emerged from beneath their bodies, emanating a terrifying energy fluctuation. Although Xiao Yan had reduced two of the original five different flames, diminishing the power of this fighting technique, his control over flames had already reached an extremely terrifying level thanks to the Five Wheels of Fire Control Technique.
The power of the flames it can unleash is terrifying. The Five-Round Fire Array, composed of several different flames, has already surpassed the Destruction Fire Lotus in Xiao Yan's hands...
On the other side, Huang Qing and the other two looked at the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Yan. Lian Shan showed a hint of surprise. They did not expect that Xiao Yan, who seemed to have just broken through to the Dou Zong level, would be able to unleash such terrifying power.
"Hmph, you're quite interesting. No wonder Feng Qing'er died at your hands..."
"
Huang Qing felt the terrifying power and scorching aura emanating from Xiao Yan, and even he felt a trace of fear. However, relying on his peak Dou Zong strength, Huang Qing did not believe that he and two clansmen would actually be defeated by Xiao Yan.
"Demon Phoenix Bell, suppress it!"
Huang Qing let out a cold shout, summoning back the consciousness of the other two Heavenly Demon Phoenixes. An ancient Demon Phoenix Bell emerged from behind him, enveloping Xiao Yan's location.
Seeing Huang Qing's actions, the other two Heavenly Demon Phoenixes did not hesitate at all. The Demon Phoenix Bell in front of them emitted even more terrifying energy fluctuations, and even the physical form of the Demon Phoenix Bell seemed to solidify a bit, surrounding Xiao Yan, who was in the middle of the three.
"Suppression!"
As the three moved, the three Demon Phoenix Bells descended upon Xiao Yan's location, sealing the energy within them.
"Break the Five-Wheel Fire Formation!"
Feeling the suppressing power of the three people and the gradually increasing pressure in the surrounding space, Xiao Yan couldn't care less about anything else. Looking at the Five-Round Fire Array that had taken shape in front of him, he roared and waved his hand. The Five-Round Fire Array instantly spread out, and terrifying energy spread outwards along the edges of the Five-Round Fire Array.
A spatial fold, resembling ripples in water, was covered with a dark crack that gradually spread outwards. Following the spatial crack, five flames erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations, resembling a giant disc that continuously annihilated everything in its path.
"Bang bang bang!"
In the blink of an eye, within the area covered by the three Demon Phoenix Bells, energy exploded violently, constantly impacting the bells' seal. Amidst the energy collisions, the three Demon Phoenix Bells trembled continuously, unleashing terrifying sound waves, and resounding chimes emanated from them…
"Damn it! The energy of the strange fire within is far too terrifying. The phantom of the Demon Phoenix Bell that we possess is simply not enough to resist it!"
Feeling the trembling phantom of the Demon Phoenix Bell in his hand, which was even cracking slightly, one of the other two Heavenly Demon Phoenixes showed a worried look on his face and slowly spoke. Although he did not say it explicitly, the look in his eyes as he glanced at Huang Qing clearly meant to remind her to give up the suppression.
"Shut up!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Qing's face contorted with rage. The three of them, even working together, couldn't defeat a human at the Dou Zong realm. If word got out, Huang Qing's career in the execution team would be over.
"Using your essence blood, we must suppress Xiao Yan today and bring our target back. If we succeed, all your expenses will be on me, and I will reward you handsomely!"
Huang Qing showed a hint of heartache on her face, but she was extremely decisive and directly addressed the two of them, making a promise.
Immediately, a bluish-red hue appeared on Huang Qing's face, and a drop of bluish-red blood, exuding a strong and violent aura, was spat out from Huang Qing's mouth, landing on the illusory image of the Demon Phoenix Bell in front of her. The Demon Phoenix Bell, which was originally on the verge of collapse, became stable again.
Seeing this, and witnessing Huang Qing's actions, the other two knew they had no choice but to help today. Otherwise, even a slight refusal would likely not only fail to bring them any benefits but also subject them to Huang Qing's retaliation...
Without further hesitation, the two of them released their blue and red blood, which merged into the Demon Phoenix Bell. The Demon Phoenix Bell, which had been weak and teetering on the verge of collapse, instantly became as solid as a rock, suppressing the energy fluctuations that Xiao Yan had unleashed.
"Humph!"
At the center of the three, feeling the increasing spatial compression, Xiao Yan showed a hint of regret on his face.
If it weren't for his own lack of strength preventing him from fully unleashing the Five-Round Blazing Fire Formation, Xiao Yan was confident that once the Five-Round Blazing Fire Formation, formed from the five different kinds of strange fire, appeared, even the current suppression wouldn't be able to stop him. Unfortunately...
Thinking about this, Xiao Yan felt even more that his strength as a Dou Zong was incredibly weak...
Seeing Xiao Yan's exhaustion, Huang Qing's face showed a hint of excitement.
"Hahaha, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Just tell me the whereabouts of the other two, and I promise I'll go easy on you..."
"hehe........."
Faced with Huang Qing's question, Xiao Yan snorted twice and then stopped talking. He stuck the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand into the ground, sat back without any regard for his image, and said, "Senior brother, I can't take it anymore. I'm leaving it to you."
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the lion-shaped fire spirit that had been condensed into the Five-Round Fire Array instantly unleashed a terrifying aura and leaped down from the array plate.
As the lion-shaped fire spirit leaped down, a fire lion spirit remained on the original array plate, maintaining the operation of the Five-Round Fire Array.
"Roar~"
The Fire Lion leaped off the array plate, looked at the three Demon Phoenix Bells surrounding it, let out a roar, and then with a whoosh, pounced on the Demon Phoenix Bells formed by the two weaker Heavenly Demon Phoenixes. A cold glint flashed on the sharp claws in its hands, and a dark spatial rift instantly appeared.
"boom!"
"Click~ Click~"
"How can it be!"
Seeing the fire spirit crack the Demon Phoenix Bell with a single blow, Huang Qing felt his smile vanish instantly, and a bead of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Shhhhh!"
However, while Huang Qing was stunned, the fire spirit continued to attack the two Heavenly Demon Phoenixes' Demon Phoenix Bells, and the two Demon Phoenix Bells were already covered with dense cracks.
"Crack~ Boom!"
Finally, the Fire Spirit struck down with its claw once more, and the two Demon Phoenix Bells instantly shattered into countless fragments.
The terrifying energy fluctuations that had been suppressed within Huang Qing and the other two suddenly erupted and spread outwards.
The scorching flames roared out instantly, and many of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples around were unable to dodge in time and were directly blasted into serious injury by this terrifying energy.
The buildings surrounding the square were completely reduced to ruins under the onslaught of this terrifying energy.
"This...this is definitely not a power you can unleash!"
Sensing the energy fluctuations at the scene, Huang Qing's face revealed a hint of annoyance and an extremely rare sense of panic.
His eyes kept looking around, as if he was checking something.
"Are you looking for me?"
Just then, a figure carrying a girl slowly walked from a distance. Behind him were buildings reduced to ruins by the terrifying energy impact, and... two corpses of Heavenly Demon Phoenixes lying in pools of blood.
Chapter 123 Feng Lei Zi
"this............"
Upon sensing the two clansmen who had lost their life force, Huang Qing's face showed a hint of surprise.
He never imagined that in just one encounter, two of his clansmen would die at the hands of the other.
Seeing Xiao Fan carrying a little girl on his back, Huang Qing's gaze locked onto Zi Yan behind him. Sensing the repulsive aura emanating from her, Huang Qing immediately recognized her as their target...
"The Ancient Dragon of the Void..."
Looking at the sleeping Zi Yan on Xiao Fan's back, Huang Qing's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, but then, thinking of Xiao Fan's cultivation level, all his plans turned to ashes.
"A Dou Zun! You're actually a Dou Zun!"
Huang Qing sensed the aura emanating from Xiao Fan and a hint of resentment appeared on her face.
No wonder the three of them, even when they joined forces, failed to suppress Xiao Yan. Instead, the fire spirit controlled by him directly shattered the Demon Phoenix Bell.
So it seems that this Dou Zun intervened and secretly helped Xiao Yan, causing their suppression to fail and even resulting in the deaths of two clansmen...
The disciples of Fenglei Pavilion who had been surrounding him exchanged bewildered glances upon seeing Xiao Fan's appearance and sensing the terrifying aura emanating from him.
If the opponent were just a high-level Dou Zong, or even a peak Dou Zong expert, they could have mustered their fighting spirit and fought to the death. However... no one told them that this person's strength was actually that of a Dou Zun!
A Dou Zun—this is the pinnacle of strength on the Dou Qi Continent. Even their Pavilion Master, Lei Zun, wouldn't dare guarantee a kill. After all, at the Dou Zun level, if someone is determined to escape, unless their strength completely overwhelms them, a life-or-death battle is rare...
Given the disparity in strength between them and their opponents, no matter how many people they had, it would be utterly ineffective in the eyes of the enemy...
"Did I let you go?"
As Xiao Fan sensed the retreating disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion around him, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
