Chapter 259 Two-Colored Fire Lotus
"Haha, Mr. Xie Bi Yan, you are a powerful and renowned man after all. You have to see the situation clearly. You don't really think that your Three Kingdoms coalition can leave so easily?" Xiao Ling chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
He knew clearly that the people of the Izumo Empire were known for their ruthless methods, and the other two countries were not easy to deal with either. Today he had already destroyed their plan of the three-nation alliance. If he let them leave so easily, there was no guarantee that they would not come up with some new conspiracy behind the scenes.
If Xiao Ling left, the Gama Empire would find it difficult to withstand the offensive of the Three Kingdoms Alliance with its existing strength. Xiao Ling knew in his heart that although the Gama Empire had certain strength, it was still slightly weak in front of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
Moreover, Xie Biyan's body and soul that reached the four-star Dou Zong level, Yan Luotian's body and soul, and the Golden Goose Sect's Sky Goose Nine-Line Wings, etc...
These are the precious resources accumulated by the three major sects over the years. Xiao Ling has long coveted these resources, so how could he let them go easily?
Seeing that Xiao Ling had become his strong backer, Jia Xingtian, who had been mocked by Xie Bi Yan before, couldn't help but sneer at him. There was a hint of pride in his tone: "Xie Bi Yan, if you had known this day would come, why were you so arrogant? Now it seems that this day next year may be your death day."
He was full of confidence in Xiao Ling's strength. The strength Xiao Ling had just demonstrated was clearly beyond Xie Biyan's ability to deal with. Jia Xingtian was certain that with Xiao Ling, the chances of the Jia Ma Empire's victory would greatly increase.
Even Xingtian felt that Xie Bi Yan might not be able to survive more than three moves at Xiao Ling's hands.
"Do you think you have me defeated?" Xie Bi Yan was unhappy. He considered himself a powerful man with status after all. Xiao Ling and Jia Xingtian's words made him feel that his dignity was challenged.
The smug look on Xingtian's face made him even more furious. He had previously looked down upon a guy who had just broken through to Dou Zong level, but now he had become so arrogant because he had found a backer.
"Xian'er, get started." Xiao Ling didn't want to waste any more words with Xie Bi Yan, so he gave the Little Medical Fairy a concise order.
The Little Medical Fairy responded immediately, and a thick purple poisonous aura quickly spread around her body. The poison was so strong that even Xie Bi Yan, a Dou Zong who had been playing with poisons for many years, couldn't help but change his face.
At this moment, the pent-up anger in Xiao Yixiang's heart finally found an outlet to vent.
Previously, Xie Biyan and the others' behavior seriously hindered her from supporting Qinglin, which made her very unhappy. Now, she decided to go all out, using the first level of the "Blood Flame Burning Spirit Art" and using the original poison gas of the Evil Poison Body to directly attack Xie Biyan without any reservation.
"Sect Master Yan Luotian, the three elders of Mulan Valley, take action quickly!" Xie Bi Yan shouted and led the three elders of Mulan to attack Xiao Yixiang, while completely ignoring Xiao Ling.
They planned to work together to repel Xiao Yixian and then take the opportunity to escape from the scene.
In their opinion, fighting with Xiao Ling, the Iron Protector who could easily defeat a Dou Zong three-star, would undoubtedly be courting death.
However, reality is often much crueler than imagined.
Xiao Yixian is not an ordinary Dou Zong strongman, her strength has reached the realm of four-star Dou Zong. Now, she has used the first level of Blood Flame Burning Spirit Art. Although it is not as effective as the second level, it is still no problem to increase the Dou Zong's combat power by one or two stars. She has also released the original poison gas of the Evil Poison Body, and her attack power has increased by many times than before.
Therefore, the offensive of the three elders, Yan Luotian, Xie Bi Yan and Mulan, did not achieve the expected effect. Instead, they were blocked by the poisonous gas of Xiao Yixiang and could hardly move forward.
At this moment, Xiao Ling's figure suddenly appeared like a ghost. He waved his hand and performed the first move of the Great Wild Prison Heaven Finger. This attack was unstoppable and directly knocked one of the three elders of Mulan, the bear-headed old man who used the power of the Three Wild Beasts to reach the Dou Zong level, hundreds of feet away.
Xiao Ling's attack was precise and swift, directly destroying the three people's Three Wild Beasts Formation, because this skill not only requires accurate positioning, but also relies on a certain distance to achieve maximum effectiveness.
"Old Three!" Seeing Elder Bearhead being knocked away, the other two elders of Mulan Valley exclaimed, and they immediately realized the severity of the situation. They quickly flapped their wings, trying to fly to Elder Bearhead, hoping to reunite with him so that they could organize their joint attack formation again.
But Xiao Ling would not let their plan succeed. Just when they flew halfway, a golden light streaked across the sky, and then two heads fell from the sky, blood gushing out from their necks like a fountain, dyeing the sky red.
Xie Bi Yan witnessed the rapid demise of the three Mulan elders, and a sense of panic surged in his heart.
"Xiao Ling! Are you really going to be so ruthless?!" His voice was filled with anger and despair, "We are all Dou Zong level figures, why do you have to do things so ruthlessly?"
However, what answered him was Xiao Yixian's fierce attack. Xiao Ling did not intervene in the battle between Xiao Yixian and Xie Biyan immediately, but chose to let Xiao Yixian fight first.
Xiao Yixiong had just made a breakthrough recently, and this battle was a great opportunity for her to train and consolidate her new realm.
Xiao Yixian's attacks were like a violent storm, and each of her attacks was full of power and precision, making it difficult for Xie Biyan to resist. Xiao Ling watched from the side, ready to attack at any time, but he hoped that Xiao Yixian could improve herself through this battle.
Yan Luotian realized that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him, so he decided to use his advantage in speed to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible. As for the so-called alliance, he didn't take it to heart. For him, saving his own life was the most important thing.
He quickly spread out his broad golden wings, and fluttered them violently, stirring up a violent gust of wind. With the help of this gust of wind, Yan Luotian flew rapidly towards the distant sky like a golden lightning, trying to escape from this chaotic battlefield.
The commotion caused by Yan Luotian naturally did not escape Xiao Ling's perception. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He would not let Yan Luotian escape like this.
The moment Yan Luotian flapped his wings, Xiao Ling's figure disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared in front of Yan Luotian and slapped out with one palm, bringing with it an invisible wave.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Yan Luotian was like being hit by a huge hammer. His golden fighting spirit wings were shattered by this blow, and his body fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
"Wow."
A rusty taste surged up Yan Luotian's throat, the sweet smell of blood. He felt bright red blood involuntarily flowing out of the corners of his mouth, dripping down his chin and staining his clothes red.
He lost control of his body and fell straight to the ground like a heavy stone. With a dull thud, he hit the hard ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust. The dust spread quickly like a cloud, enveloping his body and blurring his vision.
Then, Xiao Ling slowly walked to Yan Luotian's side. His figure seemed particularly tall in the dust, like a winner looking down at a loser. His eyes were cold and emotionless, as if he was examining an insignificant ant.
Yan Luotian felt Xiao Ling approaching, and a feeling of unwillingness surged in his heart. He tried to struggle to stand up and show his last dignity. But the severe pain in his body and the loss of strength made his attempt futile. His limbs felt heavy as a thousand pounds, and every attempt only brought a deeper sense of powerlessness.
The dust gradually dispersed, revealing Yan Luotian's embarrassed figure. His golden fighting wings were already broken, and his once majestic figure was now only covered with scars. Xiao Ling's figure cast a long shadow in the afterglow of the setting sun, covering Yan Luotian's body, like the shadow of fate, which could not be escaped.
Yan Luotian forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying. His voice was obviously trembling as he pleaded to Xiao Ling: "Ahem, Master Xiao Ling, if you can spare my life, our Jinyan Sect is willing to pay any price and guarantee that you will be satisfied." His eyes were filled with fear and despair as he tried to use the Jinyan Sect's wealth to exchange for his own life.
However, Xiao Ling just glanced at him with contempt, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "Master Yan Luotian, do you think I need your guarantee? After I deal with you, I will go to the Jinyan Sect to take what I want. Isn't it more direct?"
Xiao Ling shook his head and decided not to waste any more words with Yan Luotian. He stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and Yan Luotian's body floated up and was then firmly grasped in Xiao Ling's hand.
In order to ensure the integrity of Yan Luotian's body, Xiao Ling used a Soul Palace Soul Binding Technique that he had learned from the memory of the guardian Wu. His palm emitted a faint light, and with a slight wave, Yan Luotian's soul was slowly pulled out of his body.
During this process, Yan Luotian let out a heart-wrenching scream, which was full of pain and fear, as if it was the wail from the depths of his soul. However, Xiao Ling's face did not fluctuate at all, and his eyes were calm and focused.
This was the first time that Xiao Ling used this technique. Although his technique was a little unfamiliar, it was Yan Luotian who was suffering after all, so it did not affect the result.
After a while, Yan Luotian's soul was forcibly pulled out of his body by Xiao Ling. Although Yan Luotian's soul screamed miserably and kept cursing Xiao Ling during the process, Xiao Ling didn't care about it at all. After throwing this guy into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he became obedient.
He skillfully took out a specially made porcelain bottle from his arms and quickly put the struggling and twisted soul into the bottle. He then covered the mouth of the bottle with a thin film made of Fallen Heart Flame to block Yan Luotian's voice.
Then, Xiao Ling, without any hesitation, quickly put Yan Luotian's body and storage ring, as well as the storage ring left by the three elders of Mulan, into his own storage space.
The movements were smooth and quick, giving the illusion that he had already mastered them. There was a sense of ease in his movements, as if all this was just a daily routine for him.
If this scene was witnessed by others, they would definitely exclaim in surprise: "Wow, how many spoils of war must he have handled to be so skilled?"
After finishing the matters at hand, Xiao Ling's attention once again turned to the battle between Xiao Yixiang and Xie Biyan.
At this time, Xie Bi Yan was already at a disadvantage. His movements became a little slower and his body was covered with scars. These wounds were gradually covered by an unusual purple color. It was obvious that the poison of the Little Medical Fairy was corroding his body.
His expression was abnormal, no longer as calm as usual, but with a hint of fear and despair. He had obviously realized that he had been poisoned by the Little Medical Fairy.
Xiao Yixian was like a judge who controlled life and death. Each of her attacks was precise and deadly. Purple poisonous fighting spirit surrounded her like a venomous snake, ready to give Xie Biyan a fatal blow at any time. There was no mercy in her eyes, only coldness and determination towards the enemy.
Every struggle of Xie Bi Yan seemed in vain. Although his fighting spirit was still strong, in front of Xiao Yixiang's poisonous gas, it was like an eroded rock, gradually losing its original hardness.
Xie Biyan's body was shaking violently, and every difficult breath was accompanied by a painful groan. His eyes wandered across the battlefield and finally fell on Xiao Ling, realizing that his accomplices Yan Luotian and Mulan Sanlao had been killed.
An unspeakable fear spread in his heart. He knew that he was in a desperate situation and the balance of the battle had completely tilted.
Xiao Ling quietly observed the progress of the battle. He knew that Xiao Yixian had completely gained the upper hand and the outcome of this battle was no longer in suspense. A trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He was pleased with Xiao Yixian's growth and improvement in strength.
Although Xiao Yixiang had the advantage, it was not easy to end the battle quickly.
Xiao Ling knew clearly that Xie Bi Yan was not without a trump card. He remembered that Xie Bi Yan had a powerful blood demon scorpion king sealed in his body, and this scorpion king had reached the level of Dou Zong.
Xie Biyan used the blood and flesh of the Blood Demon Scorpion King to strengthen himself, sealed his soul, and cultivated a secret method called "Blood Soul Art". If Xie Biyan really used this "Blood Soul Art" to break through to Dou Zong Five Star, then the battle would undoubtedly become a waste of time, and Xiao Ling didn't plan to stay here any longer.
Xiao Ling had made up his mind. He no longer hesitated and acted quickly. He flipped his palm and a small two-color fire lotus quickly condensed in his palm. This fire lotus was formed by the fusion of two powerful flames, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Starfish Flame. It was colorful and dangerous.
He carefully controlled the power of the Fire Lotus to ensure that it would not blow Scorpion Rock to pieces. Because he deliberately restrained his power, the Fire Lotus formed much faster than usual. There was no lengthy casting process and it took shape almost instantly.
Xiao Ling flicked his wrist, and the two-colored fire lotus flew like an arrow from a bow, heading straight for Xiebi Rock. The fire lotus drew a graceful arc in the air, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted by the fiery power, bringing up a heat wave.
Xie Biyan felt the heat and pressure coming towards him, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He knew that Xiao Ling's attack was very powerful, and even he didn't dare to take it easily.
Due to the entanglement of Xiao Yixiang, Xie Bi Yan was caught off guard and could only hastily condense a thick black protective shield on the surface of his body to try to resist Xiao Ling's attack.
At the same time, when Xiao Yixiang saw the two-colored fire lotus wielded by Xiao Ling, she immediately retreated without hesitation.
She was familiar with Xiao Ling's self-created Fire Lotus fighting skill, and knew that even if Xiao Ling did not use his full strength, its power should not be underestimated. She did not want to be affected by this power due to a momentary negligence, which would be counterproductive.
The fire lotus drew a dazzling trajectory in the air and hit Xie Biyan's protective shield directly. Under the impact of the fire lotus, the black protective shield was like glass hit by a giant hammer, and cracks appeared instantly. Xie Biyan's face changed. He could feel the pressure of that power. His protective shield seemed fragile in front of this power.
The surrounding air became distorted due to the high temperature of the fire lotus, and waves of heat spread out in all directions, making everything around blurry. The collision of the fire lotus and the protective shield made a deafening roar, as if even the sky was shaking.
Witnessing this scene, Xie Biyan's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He hurriedly hummed, mobilized the black fighting spirit in his body, and injected it into his energy shield frantically. Since Xiao Yixian had temporarily retreated, he was able to strengthen his defense with all his strength.
Unfortunately, the two-color fire lotus that Xiao Ling rubbed out by hand, even if it was a smaller version, was by no means an easy opponent. The power it contained was the result of Xiao Ling's careful control and should not be underestimated.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the confrontation between the Fire Lotus and the Energy Shield reached its climax. Finally, after a violent fluctuation, a huge crack appeared on the Energy Shield, and the two-color Fire Lotus was like a ferocious beast, breaking through its restraints and fiercely slamming into Xie Biyan in front of his horrified eyes.
At the moment of the explosion, a powerful energy wave spread out from the Scorpion Rock, forming a small mushroom cloud. Although its scale was not as shocking as the Emperor Seal Technique that Xiao Ling had used before, the damage and sound it caused were equally astonishing.
The surrounding air was compressed by the shock wave of the explosion, making a sharp whistling sound. The ground cracked in the violent vibration, and dust and gravel were thrown into the air, and then fell under the action of gravity. The blue light of the fire lotus was particularly dazzling in the explosion, illuminating everything around it.
Xie Biyan's figure was at the center of the explosion, and was completely engulfed by the force. His screams were almost indistinguishable in the explosion, and only the black fighting spirit struggled in the flames, and was eventually engulfed by the power of the two-color fire lotus.
Everyone present fixed their eyes on the area where Xie Biyan was. Their breathing seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air was filled with tension and anticipation. They were all wondering what the outcome of this thrilling duel would be.
