On the Brink of Battle
"Admire the Heavenly Flames? Heh, if you want to steal Heavenly Flames, just say so. You're here to see Xiao Ming because of his Heavenly Flames, aren't you? Beating around the bush doesn't suit your status."
Su Qian flicked his sleeve, his gaze sweeping over the group of strangely dressed people behind Han Feng. His hand, hidden within his sleeve, tightened slightly, and he said calmly:
"However, you truly live up to your title of Medicine Emperor. You were able to invite the leaders of forces like the Blood Sect, the Earth Flame Gate, and the Eight Gates. In the entire Black Corner Region, you probably have the same level of influence."
"Hehe, the Great Elder is certainly a straightforward person."
Han Feng smiled, then sighed and said:
"Since the Great Elder has guessed my purpose, please be accommodating. As long as you hand over the Heavenly Flames to me, I will do my best to fulfill any conditions you set."
"Elder Xiao Ming, you heard what I just said. I am a disciple of the Venerable Yao. If you hand over the Heavenly Flames you obtained, I will give you the advanced alchemy inheritance you need. How about that? I believe you also know that at this point, Jia Nan Academy can't offer you much help."
"You want my Heavenly Flames? Even if Venerable Yao himself said that, I wouldn't give him any face. You don't even know if you're qualified to say that."
Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Xiao Ming's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Are you worthy?
Upon hearing this, Han Feng's smile faded slightly, and his gentle gaze gradually turned cold.
"Hmph! Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame Han Feng for taking it by force."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep blue flame, as clear as liquid, suddenly rose from his body, slowly radiating intense heat.
"Heavenly Flames?!"
As soon as the deep blue flames appeared, a commotion arose among the people behind Han Feng.
They never expected that Han Feng would possess such Supreme Treasure as a Heavenly Flames.
"Very well, since that's the case, then you will all stay here today! It's time to add more corpses of powerful individuals to the Undead Tree outside Peace Town!"
Looking at the deep blue flames rising from Han Feng's body, Su Qian sneered.
"Hehe, Great Elder, there's no need to intimidate me. Although I don't know why the five of you are gathered here, there are definitely more of us!"
Han Feng smiled, and upon hearing this, the powerful figures behind him intensified their auras, sending more than twenty rays of light of various colors soaring into the sky.
Han Feng's gaze towards Xiao Ming was filled with fervor. "And once I obtain your Heavenly Flames, after I complete my breakthrough, you'll be the ones who should be afraid! Hahahaha!"
Su Qian's face was filled with coldness. He slowly extended his hands from his sleeves, clenched them slightly, and the space around him trembled violently. He said in a chilling tone:
"You can grab it first, but with these chickens and dogs? Ha, call out everyone else."
"Hehe, I know that we Dou Emperor Dou Wang are no match for Great Elder Su Qian, who is Dou Zong, so I have prepared a special gift for you."
Han Feng took a slight step back, let out a cold laugh, and then turned around respectfully, saying, "Mr. Gong Heng, Mr. Gold and Silver, please show yourselves!"
"Han Feng, I'm taking your place this time, so don't forget what you promised me."
As Han Feng's voice fell, a soft laugh suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, the space rippled, and a refined middle-aged man dressed in light blue clothing appeared in the sky like a ghost.
An overwhelming aura emanated from him.
Upon seeing the blue figure appear in the sky, Su Qian and the others' expressions changed slightly.
This is a Dou Zong expert! Xiao Ming's information was indeed correct!
"Don't worry, as long as I obtain the Heavenly Flames, I will gladly offer Mr. Gong Heng the Seventh-Rank Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill he needs!"
"Haha, Han Feng, I hope you don't forget our things, otherwise..."
As soon as Han Feng finished speaking, two loud laughs suddenly rang out. Then, the space rippled repeatedly, and two figures, one in gold and one in silver, appeared not far from the refined man in blue.
One wore a golden robe, the other a silver robe. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that their faces were almost identical, both with white hair and beards, and their features were as if they had been molded from the same mold.
"Of course, I'll prepare the Breaking Sect Pill." Han Feng smiled and nodded slightly at them.
"You want to get involved in this too? Cultivation is not easy; I advise you not to create trouble for yourselves."
Looking at the three people who had just appeared not far away, Su Qian said calmly.
The Dou Zong Gong Heng named Gong Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent. The old man in a golden robe next to him smiled at Su Qian and said...
"I was asked to do this, and everyone got what they wanted; there's nothing I can do about it."
"Old Man Su, I suggest you give the Heavenly Flames to Han Feng. After all, there are only six of you right now. If a fight breaks out, there probably won't be enough for us to share."
The silver-robed elder chuckled with a somewhat sarcastic tone, his voice mirroring that of the gold-robed elder.
"Hey, you can't reason with a damned devil, you think you can outnumber him? Where are the elders of the Jia Nan Academy?"
Su Qian shouted loudly, and as his voice fell, the people of the Black Corner Region in the sky instantly turned extremely ugly, and they all looked to the east.
On the eastern horizon, some dark dots can be faintly seen as far as the eye can see.
The black dot rapidly expanded, and within seconds, it transformed into a large group of figures, appearing in everyone's sight.
A series of whooshing sounds filled the air, and then nearly thirty figures with Dou Qi Wings flashed over, stopping on Su Qian's side, staring menacingly at Han Feng and his group from the Black Corner Region.
"Great Elder! Vice Dean! Are we not late?" An old man in white robes flew to Su Qian's side and asked.
"Hehe, Qin Xuan, you've arrived at just the right time, not late at all!"
Su Qian and the others were in a good mood, but the people from the Black Corner Region looked increasingly grim.
Under the watchful eyes of the numerous elders of the Jia Nan Academy, they couldn't help but twitch their lips.
"Damn it, why did they react so quickly, as if they had expected this! This isn't normal!"
"This is troublesome. They have nearly forty people, while we only have twenty-odd. They outnumber us by a large margin."
"Damn it, Han Feng didn't tell us we'd be fighting so many powerful opponents."
Han Feng's expression was no longer as composed as before. He also sensed that the current situation seemed somewhat strange, and the sounds coming from his ears made him even more irritated.
Suppressing his agitation, Han Feng waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please calm down. We have two Dou Zong fighters on our side, so the advantage is in our hands!"
Upon hearing this, the people in the Black Corner Region also felt that it made sense and gradually quieted down.
"Great Elder Su Qian, Elder Xiao Ming, I'll ask you one last time: will you hand over the Heavenly Flames or not?" As the conversation dragged on, Han Feng's patience gradually wore thin. He glared at Su Qian and the others opposite him and asked fiercely.
