Chapter 46
The giant python formed from the Falling Heart Flame suddenly halted, forcibly stopping in midair and refusing to take another step forward no matter what.
It then abruptly turned around and charged toward Han Feng and the others at tremendous speed.
Blocked by the Falling Heart Flame's massive body, they had no idea there was a man in white ahead who had actually scared the Falling Heart Flame into retreating.
"Roar!"
The Falling Heart Flame roared, and wave after wave of Soul Flame suddenly appeared within Han Feng and the many people beside him.
"What's going on?!"
Han Feng's body shuddered violently. The vast Dou Qi around him rapidly fell into disorder, and he clutched his chest with an ugly expression.
It was not just him. The many experts beside him all had unsteady auras and clutched their chests as well.
The Falling Heart Flame's most troublesome attack was its undetectable Heartfire.
After all, the inside of the human body was always the most vulnerable and vital place. Even a slight injury there could drastically weaken a person's condition.
Thus, the instant the Heartfire appeared, Han Feng swiftly gathered a massive amount of Dou Qi to suppress it.
However, what Han Feng and the others could not understand was why that damned Falling Heart Flame had suddenly retreated and caught them off guard with its full-force outbreak.
The Falling Heart Flame rushed past Han Feng and the others. Yet at that moment, First Elder Su Qian led his people in pursuit once more.
First Elder Su Qian was overjoyed. He had not expected the Falling Heart Flame to fly back, and Dou Zong-level power suddenly erupted from his body.
Before they could make a move, however, Han Feng's people caught up.
"Today, the Falling Heart Flame has broken free. Treasures belong to those capable of claiming them. Whoever wins today gets the Heavenly Flame."
"Dou Zongs are indeed formidable, but in the Black Corner Region, they are not truly invincible."
Two sinister laughs rang out as a golden figure and a silver figure appeared.
Two figures strangely emerged in the sky, one clad in a golden robe and the other in a silver robe. Upon closer inspection, however, one could see that their faces were almost completely identical.
Both had white hair and white beards, and even their features seemed as though they had been carved from the same mold.
These two were the renowned Mr. Gold and Silver, the top experts ranked first and second on the Black List of the Black Corner Region.
As twin brothers who cultivated identical techniques, their individual strength was only comparable to peak Dou Emperors when they fought separately.
But when they fought together, they complemented one another. Even against a Dou Zong, they had a considerable chance of victory.
Because of this, the two of them possessed an exceptionally formidable reputation among the experts of the Black Corner Region.
"Mr. Gold and Silver!" Su Qian looked at them, a trace of pressure in his eyes.
"You want to interfere in this as well?" Su Qian slowly asked in a gloomy voice.
"We were entrusted by someone, and each of us has something to gain. There's nothing to be done about it."
The gold-robed Old Man smiled at Su Qian as he spoke.
"Old Su, I say you should just hand the Heavenly Flame over to Han Feng. If your headmaster were here, we would not have accepted this deal. But unfortunately, that old fellow has been missing for so many years. Who knows whether he's dead or what."
The silver-robed Old Man laughed with a somewhat cutting tone. Even his voice and manner of speaking were identical to those of the gold-robed Old Man.
The giant python formed from the Falling Heart Flame seized an opening while the group confronted one another and shot away.
"Please stop him!" Han Feng left behind those words and gave chase.
The many figures beside him also moved to block the people from Jia Nan Academy.
Elsewhere, Xiao Lin changed his outfit and covered his face before appearing again. After all, he was robbing someone else's treasure, so it would not do to use his real identity.
Dressed entirely in black and with his face concealed, he watched the people of Jia Nan Academy battle those Han Feng had brought. Only a few figures managed to break through the encirclement and chase after the Falling Heart Flame.
Xiao Lin flew close to the ground, quickly bypassing the main battlefield and catching up with Han Feng and the others.
"This Falling Heart Flame is really slippery. It actually sensed my realm and refused to pass by my side, choosing to retreat along the same route instead."
Xiao Lin looked ahead. Besides Han Feng at the very front, another figure followed closely behind. He sensed a familiar aura and recognized the person as his grandson Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
Behind Xiao Yan was another figure whose entire body brimmed with bloody aura. Killing intent filled him as he charged toward Xiao Yan.
At the same time, he roared furiously, "Little bastard, you were hard enough to find. Go accompany my son in death!"
With that, several streaks of blood-red Dou Qi blasted out, directly holding Xiao Yan back.
"Good grandson, you fight him for a while. I'll go deal with Han Feng and the Falling Heart Flame."
Xiao Lin was clad entirely in black, sticking close to the ground. His powerful spiritual strength ensured that nothing would go wrong.
Besides, the ground of the Black Corner Region was entirely black. Unless one looked closely, it seemed impossible to recognize him.
"Fifteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, Sea Heart Flame. Fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, Falling Heart Flame. This time, the harvest is quite good."
Xiao Lin followed them all the way. After he and Han Feng reached an uninhabited area, a Half-step Dou Zong aura suddenly erupted from Han Feng's body. He then took out a pile of medicinal pills from his storage ring and tossed them into his mouth.
In an instant, Han Feng's aura crossed into the Dou Zong realm and surged toward two-star Dou Zong, eventually climbing to the level of perfected four-star Dou Zong!
At the same time, his speed soared. The Falling Heart Flame had already expended much of its power while breaking through the seal, and during its escape, it had inflicted Heartfire upon Han Feng and many other experts. It was severely weakened.
With one side rising and the other falling, the difference between them was immense.
The exhausted Falling Heart Flame entered the broad black plains below. With a flash, Han Feng appeared before it.
"Once I consume you, I'll be able to solve everything!"
Han Feng's pupils had turned somewhat blood-red. Clearly, the powerful medicinal force was raging within his body, making his entire body tremble.
Blue flames surged from Han Feng's body like a vast ocean, rushing toward the Falling Heart Flame.
The power of the Sea Heart Flame continued to clash with that of the Falling Heart Flame. After roughly dozens of breaths, the giant python formed from the Falling Heart Flame finally collapsed onto the ground, completely drained.
At that moment, the corners of Han Feng's mouth abruptly curled upward.
"Old bastard, do you see this? I'm the one who gets the last laugh!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Yet although the giant python formed from the Falling Heart Flame lay weakly on the ground—
It revealed an extremely human-like look of mockery. Before Han Feng's laughter could end—
A black figure burst from the ground. Looking at the man and the flame, he wasted no words and pressed down with both hands.
Upon entering the Dou Zong realm, one gained the qualification to touch and sense the power of space, though one could not wield it.
Only by advancing further and becoming a Dou Zun could one completely control the power of space.
Xiao Lin possessed nine-star Dou Zong cultivation and was very close to becoming a Dou Zun. As his hands pressed down separately, one could clearly see the light beneath his palms seeming to bend.
"Who is it?!"
Han Feng suddenly turned around. The Sea Heart Flame surged from his body as it prepared to pounce on Xiao Lin.
However, the gap between their realms was simply too great. Xiao Lin remained calm and directly suppressed him. Han Feng resisted for several exchanges, but was ultimately slapped unconscious.
"You even unleashed the Sea Heart Flame one last time. I really ought to thank you for thoroughly drawing everyone's attention away from me."
"Medicine Emperor Han Feng of the Black Corner Region seized Jia Nan Academy's Falling Heart Flame and vanished without a trace, suspected of having found a place to enter seclusion and cultivate..."
