Fan Lao: Brat, I'll Kill You Today!

The sudden laughter abruptly silenced the cheers that had been echoing throughout the arena. Countless trainees stared in astonishment at the large group of people that had suddenly appeared in the sky, all somewhat confused about what was going on.

In the sky, Su Qian stared grimly at the group that appeared after breaking through the Space Barrier. His gaze lingered on the man in the core position, dressed in an alchemist's robe. His eyes narrowed, and he sneered:

"Who do we have here? It turns out to be Medicine Emperor Han Feng of the Black-Corner Region."

"Hehe, Great Elder, you're too kind. That name was just a casual gift from a friend in the Black-Corner Region, so please don't take it seriously."

The man called Han Feng smiled slightly at Su Qian, his thin lips curving into a faint smile.

"Han Feng, this is Jia Nan Academy's territory. What do you want by coming here uninvited?"

Hu Qian's expression also turned quite ugly because of the appearance of Han Feng and the others. He flashed behind Su Qian and shouted at Han Feng.

"Is he Han Feng?"

On the ground, Xiao Yan was startled when he heard the name. He then said in a low voice in surprise, his eyes constantly scanning this alchemy master who could be considered his senior brother.

"Can you feel it? This guy seems to have Heavenly Flames within him too!"

Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice from the side.

"Heavenly Flames?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's gaze sharpened, and the way he looked at Han Feng changed.

If he could obtain the Fallen Heart Flame and the Heavenly Flames within Han Feng's body, he would be able to possess all three Heavenly Flames, thus greatly increasing his chances of helping his teacher revive! Xiao Yan thought to himself, but he suppressed his aura to the point that it was almost imperceptible.

After all, the men Han Feng brought were all quite strong; even one of them would be difficult to deal with. It was best to conceal their presence and wait for his master's revival! In the sky, Han Feng smiled gently, his gaze sweeping over the shattered tip of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. His voice was warm and gentle as he said with a smile:

"The Heavenly Flames is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It is too cruel of you to seal it here. As alchemists, fire can even be said to be a kind of faith in our hearts. Therefore, Han Feng would like to ask the Great Elder to release this Heavenly Flames and not to do such a thing as imprisonment."

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, not only did Su Qian and the others' expressions turn extremely strange, but the group behind him also looked puzzled. For the people of the Black-Corner Region, killing was commonplace, let alone this so-called imprisonment. Moreover, the most important thing was that the imprisoned thing was not human at all, but just a ball of flame, although this ball of flame possessed some intelligence.

"What a ridiculous excuse. Do you really think the people of the Jia Nan Academy are three-year-olds?" Hu Qian sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the sound of wind breaking filled the air. Soon, about twenty figures with Douqi Wings on their backs flashed up and stared menacingly at Han Feng and his group opposite them.

"If you want to steal the Heavenly Flames, just say so directly. Beating around the bush is not in line with your status."

Su Qian flicked his sleeve, his gaze suddenly sweeping over the group of strangely dressed people behind Han Feng. His hand in his sleeve tightened slightly, and he said indifferently, "Heh, as expected of the Medicine Emperor, you can even invite the leaders of forces like the Blood Sect, the Earth Flame Sect, and the Eight Gates. You probably have the same influence in the Black-Corner Region."

"Hehe, Great Elder is truly a straightforward person." Han Feng smiled, then sighed and said, "Since Great Elder has guessed my purpose, then please be accommodating. You should know how important the Heavenly Flames is to us alchemists. As long as you can hand over the Heavenly Flames to me, I will do my best to fulfill whatever conditions you set."

Su Qian's lips curled into a mocking smile. With a flick of his sleeve, he sneered, "Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are, Han Feng? If it were your teacher, Venerable Yao, who said this, I would really have to consider it. But you, you should continue to cultivate for several more decades. The reason why Jia Nan Academy has been able to stand tall on the Douqi Continent for so many years is not because of any empty reputation!"

The smile on Han Feng's face faded slightly, and his once gentle gaze gradually turned cold.

"Since the Great Elder doesn't want to hand it over, then don't blame Han Feng for forcibly taking it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep blue flame, as clear as liquid, suddenly rose from his body, and a scorching heat slowly emanated from it.

"Heavenly Flames?!"

As soon as the deep blue flames appeared, gasps of surprise echoed across the sky. With everyone's sharp eyesight, they were naturally able to discern the true nature of Han Feng's flames at a glance.

Xiao Yan's gaze, which had been fixed on the sky, suddenly narrowed at that moment. He gasped and asked in surprise, "This is... the Sea Heart Flame?"

"Yes, judging from its color and shape, it is undoubtedly the Sea Heart Flame!"

Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement, raising an eyebrow as he gazed at the Black-Corner Region's forces in the sky.

Blood Sect Master Fan Lao and Eight Gates Sect Master Yuan Yi are both acquaintances! Speaking of which, it seems that old man Fan Lao's aura hasn't improved at all. It looks like he's just recovered from his injuries! Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan's eyes began to turn malicious. Now that he has broken through to the Dou Wang Stage, with the advantages brought by his secret techniques, Heavenly Flames, and cultivation methods, he might actually be able to keep this Fan Lao here!

However, neither Xiao Yuan nor Xiao Yan noticed that while their attention was drawn to the Heavenly Flames and the people in the air, a faint glow flashed on the black, ancient Storage Ring on Xiao Yan's finger.

"Han Feng, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, when the dean returns, none of you present will escape!"

In mid-air, looking at the deep blue flames rising from Han Feng's body, Su Qian shouted sharply.

"Hehe, Great Elder, there's no need to threaten me. Your Dean hasn't shown up for so many years, who knows where he's gone?"

Han Feng smiled, his gaze fixed on the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda with intense intensity.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan below showed a strange expression. Jia Nan Academy's Dean Mang Tianchi had broken through to the Dou Zun level a long time ago. Even if Han Feng took down the Fallen Heart Flame, he would only break through to the Dou Zong. In the hands of Dou Zun expert, wouldn't he be easily manipulated?

"Moreover, once I obtain this Heavenly Flames, even if it comes looking for me in the future, it's uncertain who will be unlucky! Therefore, I also advise the Great Elder to hand over the Heavenly Flames. The Great Elder should know what kind of people we in the Black-Corner Region are. You don't want this Inner Academy to be completely destroyed, do you?"

At this moment, a half-smile appeared on Han Feng's face, and his words clearly carried a hint of threat.

Su Qian's face turned ashen upon hearing this. He took a deep breath, slowly extended his palms from his sleeves, and with a slight clench, the space around him trembled violently. He said coldly:

"It's been many years since I last made a move. Today, I'll see if you have the right to say that!"

"Elders, heed my command: Protect the Heavenly Flames at all costs!"

Su Qian suddenly let out a low shout, the sound like thunder, echoing across the sky.

"Protect the Heavenly Flames at all costs!"

All the academy's experts roared in unison, and in an instant, powerful auras surged into the sky! "Stubborn fool, the Dou Zong is indeed powerful, but he is not truly invincible. In my Black-Corner Region, there are still people who can rival you!" Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Su Qian's body, Han Feng took a step back, sneered, and then turned around respectfully, saying, "Gold Silver Gentlemen, please show yourself!"

"Haha, Han Feng, do you know the price for asking us to help? I hope you can come up with the money in the end, otherwise..." As soon as Han Feng finished speaking, two loud laughs suddenly rang out. Then, the space rippled, and two figures, one in gold and one in silver, appeared in the sky like ghosts.

Upon seeing the golden and silver figures appear in the sky, Su Qian and the others' expressions changed drastically! "I didn't expect even you guys to be invited!"

Two figures appeared strangely in the sky, one in a golden robe and the other in 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.

Even the elders of the Inner Academy were familiar with the reputation of these two, so their expressions changed. These so-called Gold Silver Gentlemen were the top two experts on the Black-Corner Region's Black Ranking. Because they were twin brothers and cultivated the same techniques, their strength was only comparable to Dou Huang Peak expert if they were separated. However, if they fought together, they would complement each other and have a good chance of winning even against Dou Zong expert. Therefore, their reputation was extremely well-known among the experts in the Black-Corner Region, and even the elders of the Inner Academy had heard of them.

"You want to get involved in this too?"

Su Qian spoke slowly, his voice somber.

"I was asked to do this, and we each got what we wanted. There's nothing I can do about it."

The old man in the golden robe smiled at Su Qian and said.

"Old Man Su, I suggest you give the Heavenly Flames to Han Feng. If your dean were here, we wouldn't agree to this deal. But it's a pity that the old guy has been out of contact for so many years. We don't know if he's dead or what."

The silver-robed elder chuckled with a somewhat sarcastic tone, which was identical to that of the gold-robed elder.

"Heh, wishful thinking. I'd like to see just how amazing the Gold Silver Duo are, who are rumored to be able to fight opponents of higher levels when they join forces. Even if the Dean isn't here, it's not your place to act so arrogantly!"

Su Qian sneered, and with a flick of his sleeve, a vast amount of Dou Qi erupted. The powerful aura caused the expressions of the people from the Black-Corner Region to change slightly.

"In that case, your Inner Academy might not have enough strong experts."

The old man in the golden robe chuckled. Although Han Feng's side had fewer people, their strength far surpassed that of the academy's elders. In a real battle, they could each fight two or even three opponents. Su Qian's face was icy cold, but he was too lazy to say anything more. He slightly rotated his palms, and a powerful Dou Qi burst out from his palms, causing the space to tremble slightly.

"Great Elder Su Qian, I'll ask you one last time: will you hand over the Heavenly Flames or not?"

As the back-and-forth continued, Han Feng's patience gradually wore thin. Looking at Su Qian and the others, he asked indifferently.

Su Qian remained expressionless. Facing Han Feng's question, he merely flicked his sleeve, and a powerful beam of Dou Qi shot out from his sleeve, heading straight for Han Feng! "Hmph!"

Su Qian's initiative caused Han Feng's expression to gradually turn cold. With a cold snort, he flicked his finger, and a ball of deep blue flame appeared in his palm. Finally, with a gentle wave, it collided fiercely with the stream of Dou Qi.

"Bang!"

A deep explosion rang out, and the energy ripples that spread outwards forced Han Feng to take a step back before he could regain his footing. Although he had the help of the Heavenly Flames, Su Qian was, after all, a Dou Zong expert. In a head-on collision, Han Feng would not gain any advantage.

With a single strike, Su Qian's figure didn't pause at all, transforming into a bolt of lightning and shooting towards Han Feng instantly.

"Hehe, Old Man Su, let's have some fun!"

Two figures, one in gold and one in silver, instantly appeared in front of Han Feng. They grinned at Su Qian, who was hurtling towards them, and then the two clasped hands tightly, unleashing a powerful burst of light green Dou Qi.

Twisting his body to avoid the incoming streak of pale green Dou Qi, Su Qian moved and appeared in front of the Gold Silver Duo. Instantly, the three palm winds clashed, and the deep, muffled palm winds, like thunder, echoed continuously in the dazzling afterimages.

Seeing that Su Qian was being entangled by the Gold Silver Duo, Han Feng turned his gaze to Hu Qian and the others, waved his hand, and smiled at the large group of people behind him, "Next, I'll trouble you all to stop the others. I'll go down and break the seal."

"They're just some Dou Wang, we can handle that. Besides, I've never tasted the blood of the Inner Academy Elder."

The Blood Sect Master Fan Lao, stared at Hu Qian and the others with a sinister look, grinning to reveal his slightly sharp teeth. Ever since his only son was killed in the Black-Corner Region and he had been searching for the murderer for a long time without success, Fan Lao's already sinister nature had become even more unpredictable. It was said that when he was recuperating in the Blood Sect, he would kill people and drink blood at the drop of a hat, and was extremely cruel.

"Hehe, then thank you all very much. Han Feng will definitely repay you handsomely after this is done."

Han Feng cupped his hands in greeting to Fan Lao and the others, his deep blue Douqi Wings on his back fluttered slightly, and then he was about to descend towards the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.

"Stop them!"

Seeing this, Hu Qian waved his hand, and immediately more than thirty academy experts behind him rushed out in a overwhelming wave, blocking Han Feng's path.

"Heh heh, your opponent is us."

A dozen or so figures, carrying a strong aura of blood, flashed out and eventually confronted the academy's powerful members.

Han Feng chuckled, turned his body, and continued to descend towards the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. Just as the thirty-odd academy experts made a move, the dozen or so peak experts from the Black-Corner Region in front of them also flashed by, and then, carrying an unparalleled force, they crashed into them. After a series of flashes, they divided this large group of academy experts into more than ten battle groups.

The battle in the sky broke out extremely suddenly. The students in the distance were unaware of the exact events unfolding in the sky. However, the continuous energy explosions that followed the battle caused their expressions to change slightly. By now, they could guess that the people who had suddenly appeared were definitely up to no good.

Even knowing this, some students wanted to lend a hand, but the battle in the sky was beyond their reach. Therefore, they could only watch the chaotic battle that broke out in the sky and pray that the elders of the Inner Academy could drive away these uninvited guests.

After the battle in the sky began, Han Feng flapped his wings and appeared on the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. Looking at the energy membrane below that emitted a dark light, he was about to make a move when a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out above him! Frowning slightly, Han Feng flapped his wings to avoid the attack of the strong wind, and slowly looked up, only to see Hu Qian staring at him with an icy expression.

"Don't even think about messing with the Heavenly Flames!"

With powerful Dou Qi rapidly gathering in his hand, Hu Qian voice.

"You alone are probably no match for me."

Looking at Hu Qian, who had actually broken away from the main battle circle, Han Feng was slightly surprised, then smiled and said that with his strength and the help of the Heavenly Flames, he was almost unmatched among the Dou Emperor. Therefore, although Hu Qian's strength was at the Dou Huang Peak, the latter did not have much fear of him.

"Then let's give it a try."

Hu Qian sneered and, without wasting words, unleashed a powerful aura from his body. Instantly, his Dou Qi qi surged and enveloped Han Feng, whose brows were slightly furrowed. The two of them became blurry figures and began to fight.

Thus, the sky above was completely engulfed in chaotic battle. As far as the eye could see, there was almost nothing but intense fighting, with the sounds of energy explosions crackling and popping like firecrackers.

On the ground, Xiao Yan stared in astonishment at the chaotic battle in the sky. Su Qian had been restrained by the so-called Gold Silver Duo, Hu Qian was also engaged in a fierce battle with Han Feng, and the elders were being forcibly held back by the sect leaders of the Blood Sect and other forces, who were fighting two or even three against one. Moreover, they were able to maintain the upper hand even when outnumbered. It has to be said that the gap between Dou Wang expert and Dou Emperor is not small.

Somewhere in the sky, Fan Lao, the sect leader of the Blood Sect, who was having a great time fighting three Dou Wang expert, had already gained a certain advantage. Perhaps because he was traumatized by Xiao Yuan before, Fan Lao went all out when he made his move, which put the three Dou Wang level elders under great pressure.

Slightly dizzy from the dazzling battle, Xiao Yan could only turn to look at Xiao Yuan, shaking his head with a wry smile, "Brother, things aren't looking good!"

"Yes, if this continues, the elders won't be able to hold on. Take care of yourself and wait for the teacher to recover. I have to make my move!"

Looking at the three elders being suppressed by Fan Lao, Xiao Yuan frowned. After giving Xiao Yan a brief instruction, he flashed forward, his Douqi Wings suddenly popping out. With a flap of his black ice crystal wings, Xiao Yuan appeared behind Fan Lao. He reached out and clenched his fist, and Mystic Ice Douqi surged out in front of him, condensing into a small ice crystal vortex, which smashed towards Fan Lao!

"Roll!"

Bloodshot eyes gathered, and a roar filled with anger and killing intent burst forth from Fan Lao's mouth. A powerful crimson battle Dou Qi suddenly surged out, and the three Dou Wang elders were caught off guard and were forced to retreat.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Lao turned around and punched Xiao Yuan!

Click!

With a sound of ice crystals shattering, Xiao Yuan's body was also shaken and sent flying backward.

"Black Ice Attribute Douqi?"

Fan Lao stared at the sky filled with shattered black ice crystals, and was first taken aback. Then, looking at the somewhat familiar white-clad figure, an image of a white-dressed woman holding a Mystic Ice Dragon Spear appeared in his mind.

The next moment, his face darkened, and his chilling voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth. "Boy, this sect will kill you today!"
