Chapter 781: Fighting Many Alone
"Xiao Yan, what do you intend to do?"
The two Mulan Elders did not dare to make any unusual movements. They stared at Xiao Yan"s hand-claw wrapped around the tiger-headed Elder"s throat. At this moment, the latter only needed to use a little strength to kill the Elder on the spot. They could only cry out sternly in the fear of harming their companion.
"Nothing, I am merely getting rid of the problem at its roots." Xiao Yan faintly smiled. His voice was quite calm.
However, it was these calm words that caused the hearts of the three Mulan Elders to sink. Although they had taken precautions, they did not expect Xiao Yan to actually take such a big risk and come to the three army alliance"s grounds to launch a sneak attack on them.
"If you kill him, you will completely become enemies with our Mulan Valley. At that time, it is likely that the situation will turn into one where we won"t give up until you die!" The Mulan Elder on the left side studied Xiao Yan with dark, solemn eyes while he spoke in a ferocious manner.
"My Yan Alliance was nearly eliminated by all of you. Isn"t it a little too late to say this?" Xiao Yan"s faint smile remained on his face, but now contained some denseness. His hand tightened slightly while he said this. The tiger-headed Elder"s face immediately turned red. He widened his mouth and started panting.
The two Mulan Elders" faces twitched. They finally inhaled a deep breath of air a moment later. They suppressed the fury within their hearts and one of them said, "Xiao Yan, as long as you let him off, I swear that the Mulan Valley will no longer find trouble with the Jia Ma Empire and the Yan Alliance. What do you say?"
"Nothing." Xiao Yan continued to smile as he replied.
The eyes of the two Mulan Elders shrank. Their hands, which were behind their backs, suddenly began to form seals without leaving any traces. Their mouths, however, used a deep voice to speak, "If you aren"t satisfied, we can use our Mulan Valley"s "Three Beast Savage Skill" to exchange for his life. How is it? This Qi Method of ours is a Di cla.s.s Middle level Qi Method. You have personally experience just what its strength is like."
"Three Beast Savage Skill?" Xiao Yan"s eyes moved slightly upon hearing these words. The eyes of the two Mulan Elders flashed with joy that was difficult to detect. However, they did not have time to speak before Xiao Yan laughed, "I am indeed very interested in this Qi Method. However, he must die!"
Xiao Yan"s eyes suddenly became dark, cold at the end of his words. A jade-green flame suddenly surged from his hand. His middle finger immediately pierced forward and penetrated the throat of the tiger-headed Elder under the cover the the fire glow.
Grug! Grug! Gurg! Gurg!
A pillar of blood suddenly shot out and eventually left a piercing, bright-red blood stain in the snow-white tent.
The two Mulan Elders blankly stared at the tiger-headed Elder, whose life force was swiftly disappearing. The latter"s body was slowly falling in a flaccid manner. The eyes of the two Mulan Elders immediately split. If they were given a little more time, they would be able to forcefully circulate the "Three Beast Savage Skill". As long as they placed their combined strength into the tiger-headed Elder"s body, breaking through Xiao Yan"s clamped hand would definitely have been extremely easy. However… they lacked just a little…
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d Xiao Yan. The old me will turn your bone into ashes today!"
A furious savage roar suddenly sounded as powerful Dou Qi suddenly surged out from the bodies of the two Elders. The momentum that was created by the Dou Qi blew away the enormous tent. The figure inside was immediately revealed to the eyes of the experts from the Mulan Valley who were patrolling in the sky.
Xiao Yan"s expression was also ice-cold. The liquid blood on his hand had already been vaporized by the flame. With the help of his sharp Spiritual Perception, he naturally understood what these two old fellows were doing in secret. However, for them to a.s.sume that this could delay him, did they really think that he was some inexperienced little fellow who had just left home?
"Capture him! Regardless of whether he is dead or alive!" One of the Mulan Valley Elder"s finger pointed at Xiao Yan while his furious roar resounded over the entire camp. The death of the tiger-headed Elder would be an extremely serious blow to their Mulan Valley. Having lost him, it was no longer possible to use the "Three Beast Savage Skill" and having lost the "Three Beast Savage Skill", the Mulan Valley had lost the ability to frighten those factions within their empire that were looking at them with ill intent. This was definitely fatal to their Mulan Valley.
It was because of this reason that the two Mulan Elders were so furious at this moment.
Many human figures shot into the campsite after the Mulan Valley"s Elder furiously roared. They swiftly appeared on the middle area. Numerous dense, cold eyes from the ground, the sky, and the top of the tents were staring intently at Xiao Yan. Their eyes were filled with a dark and chilly killing intent that seemed intent on tearing Xiao Yan"s corpse into ten thousand pieces.
Xiao Yan"s face also changed slightly when he saw so many experts. With his Spiritual Perception, he could sense that there were three elite Dou Huangs present. Adding the two Mulan Elders, there was a total of five elite Dou Huangs. If they were to join hands, even Xiao Yan would be forced to temporarily seek shelter.
Of course, it was not that Xiao Yan did not want to flee but there was nowhere to do so. These experts from the Mulan Valley were extremely experienced in combat. They had sealed off all the escape route he could take the moment they appeared. Hence, he could only forcefully charge through if he wanted to flee.
Xiao Yan suddenly crouched down while this thought flashed through his heart. He ruthlessly broke a finger of the tiger-headed Elder in front of the stunned gazes of the people around him. He obtained the Storage Ring on it. He stuffed it into his breast pocket as his feet stomped on the ground. His body suddenly shot to the sky.
"Stop him! Stop him now! Regardless of whether he is dead or alive! Anyone who kills him will be promoted to an external valley Elder!"
The two Mulan Elders were momentarily stunned because of Xiao Yan"s action. By the time they had recovered, they suddenly became like a cat that had its tail stepped on. They immediately jumped and shouted in a raving manner.
The reward that the two Mulan Elders promised seemed to possess a great allure in the eyes of these experts from the Mulan Valley. The eyes of those experts in the sky immediately turned red. Each of them let out an inflamed roar as they crazily charged toward Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan flapped the fire wings on his back as he dodged the head-on attack of an elite Dou Huang. His expression was dark and cold as he struck violently toward the head of an expert Dou w.a.n.g by the side. Flame surged immediately and the punch hit the latter. His head became like watermelon that burst apart immediately.
After killing an expert Dou w.a.n.g with a single punch, Xiao Yan"s face was covered with some blood. His dark-black eyes gradually revealed a bloodthirsty, ferocious look as he once again violently charged forward and rushed toward the exit of the campsite with all his might.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The fist that was covered by the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame violently collided with an expert Dou Huang. A powerful energy wind exploded from the spot where the two collided. Xiao Yan"s shoulders trembled while that expert Dou Huang, whose strength was around that of one star, seemed to have received a heavy blow as he flew back. In the end, he spat out two mouthfuls of fresh blood. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Xiao Yan whose entire body was covered with fresh blood. It was likely that he did not expect to be defeated so miserably after just one exchange in the hands of Xiao Yan, who seemed like someone in the same cla.s.s as him.
Although this punch of Xiao Yan might have shaken and injured that Dou Huang, the latter had managed to quietly stop his speed for an instant. It was during this instant that the two Mulan Elders, who had been staring at Xiao Yan with pernicious eyes, suddenly rose. One was at the front while the other was at his back. Their mouths emitted a mad angry roar as a b.l.o.o.d.y glow gathered on their fists. The b.l.o.o.d.y glow finally transformed into a savage bear head and a savage lion head!
"Fierce Bear Ground Splitting Fist!"
"Lion Inch Force!"
Xiao Yan"s expression was solemn as he sensed the sharp, bloodthirsty attacks from his front and back. They had basically locked all of his retreat routes. His face also became slightly solemn as his hand seal moved and a circular dark-green fire ring swept in all directions with his body at the middle.
"Fire Ring Explode!"
A low roar sounded and the swiftly spreading jade-green fire ring ruthlessly collided with the fierce attacks of the two Mulan Elders. Immediately, a clear energy explosion resounded across this sky like thunder.
Wild and violent energy swiftly spread. The fire ring gradually disappeared but Xiao Yan still sensed two hidden force striking toward him. The ruthless attacks, which were targeted at his chest and back, caused his throat to emit a soft groan.
While Xiao Yan was injured, the two Mulan Elders were also blasted by the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame until fresh blood dripped down from their fists. Clearly, both parties had suffered some injuries during this head-on collision.
Xiao Yan had yet to have the time to catch his breath after temporarily forcing the two Mulan Elders back when over ten powerful forces suddenly shot over from all directions. They aimed at all the fatal points on Xiao Yan"s body as they wrapped around him. Clearly, after having suffered the sharp close range attack from Xiao Yan, these experts from the Mulan Valley began to avoid a close range battle. Instead, they chose to rely on their powerful Dou Qi to put off Xiao Yan"s movement.
Xiao Yan could ignore these Dou Qi attacks if there was only one of them. However, with so many of them attacking in an orderly manner, even he could not just allow them to hit him as they wanted to. Hence, he swiftly used the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame to form a jade-green fire armor on the surface of his body.
Some of the Dou Qi pillars might have been scattered by Xiao Yan but there were still over ten of them that smashed against the fire armor. The energy wave that was formed from the intense explosion caused a great tremor to appear within Xiao Yan"s body.
"Dammit… I will be held back by them in this place if this continues!" These Dou Qi pillars might not injure Xiao Yan too much, but they caused his speed to be reduced. By borrowing this reduced speed, the two Mulan Elders and the other few elite Dou Huangs had already completed the nursing of their auras. Their eyes revealed a fierce glint while they stared at Xiao Yan. Powerful Dou Skills were swiftly being agglomerated.
Xiao Yan"s heart sank as he sensed the many powerful Dou Skills that were being gathered around him. Just as he was about to go all out and prepare to blast these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to death with the "Angry Buddha Lotus Flame" once again, a ray of light suddenly rushed over from the distant sky. Within a couple of flashes, it went on a rampage and charged into this chaotic sky. A graceful lovely figure twisted before appearing in front of Xiao Yan. She extended her delicate hand and the Dou Qi pillars that rushed from all over the place disappeared into nothing.
The black figure turned her head, revealing a calm and exquisitely bewitching face. It was surprisingly Medusa!
Her eyes swept over Xiao Yan"s blood covered body and immediately sensed his somewhat chaotic aura. Her bewitching, long pupils revealed a dark, cold killing intent.
"Next, leave them to me. I will let these two old fellows pay the price."
Chapter 782: Rich Reward
Xiao Yan studied Medusa, who had appeared in front of him, and sighed in relief. The other party had too many experts. If he were to charge forcefully with all his strength, he would naturally be able to leave. However, that was on the precondition that he used the "Angry Buddha Lotus Flame" and killed a bunch of people. Once he used the "Angry Buddha Lotus Flame", Xiao Yan would feel extremely weak. If any other situation occurred during this period, he would no longer have much ability to defend himself.
"Are you done over on your side?" Xiao Yan"s eyes swept in all direction as he quickly asked.
"Yes. Yes. Yes… Yes." Medusa nodded indifferently. She did not waste too much strength in dealing with Yan Luo Tian. It was actually so smooth that it had exceeded her expectations. However, it was worthy of his Dou Zong strength to allow that fellow to die when he was having the most fun.
"You should leave first. I will take care of things behind. If we delay a little longer, it is likely that the experts from the Gold Geese Sect will charge over." Medusa turned her head and spoke to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding. He did not say any unnecessary words as his body moved and charged out of the encirclement.
Medusa"s sudden appearance undoubtedly caused the Mulan Valley experts" faces to become much uglier. After nearly a year of exchanging blows, they were extremely clear of just how powerful the former was. In the past, the three Mulan Elders were able to fight with her a little with the help of the "Three Beast Savage Skill". Now that one of the three was missing, the Qi Method had completely lost its effect. It was undoubtedly impossible for them to rely on their strength at the peak of the Dou Huang cla.s.s to exchange blows with Medusa.
Medusa"s pretty eyes indifferently swept over the two Mulan Elders. She clenched her delicate hand and a seven colored snake sword flashed and appeared. A fierce glow appeared in her eyes. Her body moved. It rushed toward the two people in a ghost-like manner.
"Stop her! Quick…"
The expressions of the two Mulan Elders drastically changed when they saw Medusa"s action as they hurriedly cried out. They clearly understood that with the current strength of the both of them, it was impossible for them to be a match with Medusa. Having lost the "Three Beast Savage Skill", they were just ordinary peak Dou Huangs.
The surrounding Mulan Valley"s experts hesitated for a moment after hearing the cry of the two Mulan Elders. After which, they could only grit their teeth and charge at Medusa. The Dou Qi within their bodies was unleashed to their limit as numerous sharp air tearing sounds appeared in the sky.
Medusa"s face did not change even a little in the face of the attacks that were rus.h.i.+ng over from all directions. Her hand formed a seal and a countless number of seven colored energy pillars surged out of her body. After which, they appeared like a countless number of enormous seven colored snakes as they rushed out and collided with the many attacks. Unceasing thunder-like explosions resounded over the camp.
When the energy explosion waves spread through the air, the faces of the weaker experts from the Mulan Valley turned pale, and they immediately hurried back in shock.
The many experts that surrounded and attacked Medusa did not pose the slightest hindrance to her. The strength of a Dou Zong was indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Yan undoubtedly appeared miserable when compared to her. In name, he might be able to fight with an elite Dou Zong by using all of his strength, but this was on the precondition that he must exhaust all his strength. Moreover, after the fight, he would enter a weakened state even if he was lucky to avoid serious injuries. Regardless of what kind of powerful Dou Skill Xiao Yan possessed, his actual strength was merely that of a one star Dou Huang. There was still an extremely large gap to a genuine elite Dou Zong.
The combined strength of all the experts from the Mulan Valley did not cause Medusa"s body to show any signs of slowing. Hence, after a couple of flashes, she appeared beside the two Mulan Elders, who were swiftly withdrawing. Her exquisitely bewitching face revealed a dense, cold expression.
The faces of the two Mulan Elder changed when they saw Medusa charging through the hinderance of so many experts in such a swift manner. Their bodies moved back as they let out a sudden furious roar. Both of their hands immediately overlapped one another and a rich blood-colored energy agglomerated on their fists. An instant later, tyrannical blood-red wings were created and violently smashed toward Medusa.
Medusa moved her delicate hand as her gaze indifferently observed the two people who were struggling on the brink of death. It gently collided with the fists of the two people. Immediately, a seven colored energy poured out in all directions.
Grug! Grug! Grug! Grug! Grug! Grug! Grug! Grug! Grug!
This collision might have appeared gentle, but the bodies of the two Mulan Elders shook intensely. They appeared to have received a heavy blow as their bodies were dragged on the ground as they shot back. Fresh blood splattered wildly from their mouths.
"Without the "Three Beast Savage Skill," you aren"t people who can even last one exchange with this Queen!" Medusa could not help but coldly chuckle when she saw the two Mulan Elder"s miserable manner after merely one strike.
The faces of the two Mulan Elders were shocked as their feet rubbed against the ground, forming a long scar. Their bodies had just stabilized when they split and fled without any prior agreement.
A seven colored golden glow instantly arrived just as the two figures were about to move. It carried a sharp sword glow and penetrated the body of one of them, turning into a b.l.o.o.d.y arrow.
The eyes of the final Mulan Elder glanced toward the blood arrow that was shot. The shock in his heart became denser. He did not expect that they would be killed as easily as a chicken in Medusa"s hands despite their strength. The strength of a Dou Zong was indeed frightening.
The fleeing speed of that Mulan Elder suddenly increased with the urge of the shock within his heart. However, at this moment, his body abruptly stiffened. The trauma on his face also paused at this moment. He lowered his head slowly with some difficulty only to see a sharp sword tip being revealed, carrying the bright-red traces of blood.
The life force in his eyes swiftly scattered as the fresh blood dripped down from the sword. Finally, the Mulan Elder"s body fell in front of the many stunned gazes around.
The seven colored snake sword in Medusa"s hand slowly disappeared. Her eyes were cold and indifferent as she slowly swept them around. Following the sweeping motion of her gaze, the surrounding experts from the Mulan Valley hurriedly withdrew with traumatized faces. In their hearts, Medusa was just like a fierce G.o.d who had just killed two experts at the peak of the Dou Huang cla.s.s within a short couple of exchanges. This skill was really vicious…
Medusa withdrew her gaze and lowered her body. She pulled off the Storage Ring on that Mulan Elder"s hand in front of the countless number of people. After which she slowly walked back and removed the Storage Ring from the other Elder. Only after doing this did she slowly ascend into the sky. Her body transformed into a ray of light that rushed out of the camp.
Not a single expert from the Mulan Valley dared to stop Medusa as she walked off in an extremely arrogant manner. This was because they knew that they did not have the slightest ability to retaliate in the hands of an elite Dou Zong.
The Mulan Valley had undoubtedly suffered terrible losses tonight. Through the hands of Xiao Yan and Medusa, blood flowed like river over the entire camp…
Medusa was unhindered as she charged out of the camp. She saw Xiao Yan still in the air outside the camp. The latter had clearly sighed in relief when he saw her. He swiftly said, "Let"s hurry and leave. The experts from the Gold Geese Sect are about to arrive."
Medusa"s eyes drifted toward the western side when she heard his words. Numerous ray of lights filled with furious roars were swiftly rus.h.i.+ng over from that direction. Clearly, the people from the Gold Geese Sect had discovered that their sect leader had already died.
Medusa slightly nodded. Her body moved and appeared beside Xiao Yan. She immediately extended her delicate hand and grabbed Xiao Yan"s wrist in front of Xiao Yan"s stunned eyes. The both of them seemed to be like falling stars in the sky as they rushed out of the city in a lightning-like manner.
With the frightening aura of Medusa spreading, the experts who were guarding the city wall did not dare to act carelessly despite the great shock and anger in their hearts. Hence, they could only watch as the two rushed out of the city and disappeared into the distant night sky.
A majestic aura suddenly spread from the middle of the city where the Poison Sect was located after Xiao Yan and Medusa left the city. However, after this aura discovered that it could not catch up with them, it could only "unwillingly" withdraw.
Two human figures slowly came to a stop in the night sky far from the city. They sighed in relief when they saw that there were no pursuers.
Xiao Yan exhaled for a long time as a smile surfaced on his face. Tonight was really stimulating… the death of two elite Dou Zongs was sufficient to cause the Gold Geese Sect and the Mulan Valley to become crazy. In the future, they would likely no longer have the courage to come and attack the Jia Ma Empire.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Yan turned his head, and looked at Medusa, whose delicate hand was gently pus.h.i.+ng away a thread of black hair that was on her forehead. His voice was soft as he asked and his concerned tone could not be hidden.
"As long as that Little Fairy Doctor doesn"t intervene, no one in the city can stop me." Medusa shook her head slightly when she heard Xiao Yan"s words. Without realizing it, the coldness in her pretty eyes quietly disappeared.
Xiao Yan smiled. He was just about to speak when a commotion was transmitted from the mountain forest below. A large number of human figures rose into the sky. At a glance, these were not their pursuers, but Hai Bodong"s group who had been lying in ambush here.
Hai Bodong"s group heaved a sigh of relief after having revealed themselves and seeing that Xiao Yan and Medusa were fine. The former smiled and asked, "How is it? We just saw that the city has turned chaotic and were just about to charge in to receive the both of you."
"We were successful. The final hidden danger had been completely removed." Xiao Yan grinned and nodded as he replied.
A joy that was difficult to hide surged onto the faces of Hai Bodong and the others when they heard this. They exchanged looks with each other and emitted a cheer.
Xiao Yan also laughed when he saw that everyone was so excited. He took out the Storage Ring that he had stuffed in his breast pocket and placed with it a little. After which, he inserted his Spiritual Strength into it. He flipped his hand a moment latter and a scroll that was made of dense white beast bones appeared in it. Atop the beast bones were a couple of blood characters that appeared to be formed from fresh blood that flashed in a glaring manner.
"Three Beast Savage Skill! Is this it?"
