Battle Fan Lao Again

Fan Lao's voice, filled with chilling killing intent, resounded through the sky, attracting the attention of many.

Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates, was startled and pushed back the three Dou Wang elders in front of him. He glanced in the direction of Fan Lao and then saw Xiao Yuan, who was dressed in white and had Mystic Ice Wings on his back.

Sensing the familiar aura of Dou Qi, a look of astonishment flashed in Yuan Yi's eyes.

The young man's aura was extremely similar to that of the mysterious Ice Emperor, clearly indicating that they had cultivated the same technique! At such a young age, to have already reached the Dou Wang level, his talent was not much weaker than the Ice Emperor's, suggesting a close relationship between the two! If this Fan Lao threatened the young man's life, would the Ice Emperor reappear? Yuan Yi pondered this, no longer in a hurry to defeat the three Dou Wang elders before him. The conditions Han Feng offered were not enough to make him risk his life; if he could slack off, he naturally wouldn't exert any extra effort.

If the timing is right later, I might have to save that young man's life. This opportunity could give me a chance to connect with the mysterious Ice Emperor. The fact that he could cultivate two such young geniuses means that they must have extremely powerful backgrounds! Moreover, the potential of these two young men alone is enough for him to extend an olive branch.

On the other side, Fan Lao's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of murderous intent.

If it weren't for that damned Dou Emperor with Ice Attribute Douqi, I wouldn't have been seriously injured, and my son wouldn't have been killed without even a complete corpse.

Clearly, although Fan Lao did not know who killed his son Fan Ling, he had already pinned the blame on Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan naturally saw this as well, and immediately sneered, "Old man, are you tired of living?"

"Arrogant brat, die before this sect!"

Fan Lao hearing Xiao Yuan's almost insulting words, Fan Lao's anger intensified. His furious roar shook the heavens, and in a flash, he transformed into a scarlet figure, appearing behind Xiao Yuan.

Upon smelling the nauseating stench of blood emanating from behind him, Xiao Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. Immediately, a flash of azure lightning appeared beneath his feet, and he instantly appeared a hundred meters away.

"Three Thousand Lightning Movement? Ling'er's death was indeed related to you!"

Seeing the movement Dou Technique Xiao Yuan displayed, Fan Lao immediately recognized it as the Three Thousand Lightning Movement from the Black Seal City Auction. His eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at Xiao Yuan! "A piece of trash with weak Dou Qi, so what if he's dead? You ruined your main account, can't you just create a new one?"

Xiao Yuan sneered, and then a pair of purplish-black wings popped out from his back, overlapping with Mystic Ice Wings. With a flap of his wings, he disappeared from the spot again.

The afterimage left behind was torn to shreds by the suddenly appearing Fan Lao.

"Three elders, leave this old bastard to me. You go and assist the other elders!" Xiao Yuan waved to the three elders who were rushing towards him to help him, then turned his gaze to Fan Lao and sneered, "Old bastard, killing me won't be that easy. Are you prepared to die?"

"Good! Very good!" With a slight flap of his crimson Douqi Wings, Fan Lao suddenly laughed, the venom in his laughter sending chills down one's spine. "Once I capture you, I won't let you die too easily. I will raise you as a blood slave, providing you with the freshest blood every day and night. Otherwise, I would be letting down my dead son!"

"Old dog, why don't you try?" Upon hearing this, a cold glint gradually appeared in Xiao Yuan's dark eyes as he sneered.

Given Fan Lao's status, being called "old thing" and "old dog" by Xiao Yuan was enough to enrage him. He secretly resolved to make Xiao Yuan wish he were dead! His withered palms spun slightly, and surging crimson Dou Qi qi, like fresh blood, flowed out in strands, eventually forming thousands of blood threads that swirled around Fan Lao's body, whistling rapidly.

Sensing the terrifying aura gradually rising within Fan Lao's body, Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he, Dou Wang, had faced Dou Huang expert, but he was very confident! A few days ago, he followed Zi Yan on a treasure hunt and obtained the Yin Yang Water-Fire Lotus. After refining it, he absorbed the Yin-Yang Origin Qi, which greatly enhanced Xiao Yuan's Yin Yang Dual Flames. According to Xiao Yuan's previous senses, it was no weaker than Han Feng's Sea Heart Flame.

The Heavenly Flames has a significant restraining effect on Fan Lao's cold and yin-attribute Dou Qi. In other words, when the two fight, Xiao Yuan's attack will be amplified, while Fan Lao's attack will be weakened. With this disparity, Fan Lao actually has no chance of killing Xiao Yuan! In the sky, amidst the extremely chaotic battlefield, the confrontation between Xiao Yuan and Fan Lao naturally attracted the attention of countless Inner Academy students in the distance. Everyone's expression changed immediately. They didn't know the situation, but judging from the current appearance, it seemed that Xiao Yuan had stepped forward to share a powerful enemy with the Inner Academy! Therefore, many people felt a sense of admiration for Xiao Yuan. Having cultivated in the Inner Academy for so many years, they had developed a deep affection for this place. Now that a powerful enemy had attacked, they naturally felt a sense of shared hatred and a desire to fight together. However, due to their strength and other reasons, they could only watch helplessly as the battle began.

Now, Xiao Yuan, who had stepped forward, had undoubtedly become a source of hope for them. Deafening cheers erupted from the numerous students in the distance, instantly surpassing Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and others in prestige! Suddenly hearing the Xiao Yuan cheers, Xiao Yuan was startled. He glanced sideways in the direction of the sound, and seeing the fervor and reverence on the students' faces, he was momentarily speechless, but then his blood boiled. Hadn't he cultivated for years so that he could step forward when needed? "I will make sure you lose all your prestige in their eyes. A mere Dou Wang, you really think you can turn the world upside down?"

Seeing this, Fan Lao smiled coldly, then suddenly waved his hand. Instantly, the blood-red energy threads that were swirling around him swept out in an overwhelming manner, with sharp, whistling sounds constantly breaking the air.

The overwhelming crimson energy threads almost completely covered all of Xiao Yuan's hiding space. Fan Lao also knew how amazing the agility of someone who had cultivated "Three Thousand Lightning Movement" was. Therefore, his first move was to restrict Xiao Yuan's speed!

Looking at the overwhelming energy blood threads, Xiao Yuan showed no panic whatsoever. He calmly stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers, and a surge of black and white flames burst forth, finally enveloping his body tightly.

The appearance of the black and white flames immediately changed Fan Lao's expression. With his experience, he could naturally tell at a glance that the strange flames were Heavenly Flames. However, the attack had already begun, and no matter what kind of attack the opponent used, he could only continue.

Moreover, the hatred of killing one's son must be avenged. At present, Xiao Yuan is only Three-Star Dou Wang. He still has Heavenly Flames, and it is impossible for him to cross a major realm to deal with him!

The overwhelming blood threads pierced through space like lightning, appearing in front of Xiao Yuan in the blink of an eye. However, when the blood threads were still three meters away from Xiao Yuan, the scorching temperature suddenly erupted, and the blood threads, which were originally biased towards yin and cold, were instantly melted into nothingness!

However, although the Heavenly Flames had some restraining effect on the cold blood threads, the blood threads were overwhelming and seemed to have no end in sight. Therefore, Xiao Yuan's flames were gradually retreating as the blood threads kept rushing towards him.

As the flames on Xiao Yuan's body gradually receded, Fan Lao revealed a cold smile. With a wave of his hand, the countless blood threads twisted strangely, then intertwined with each other, finally forming a blood sphere net. Inside the net was Xiao Yuan, who was "stubbornly resisting"!

"So what if you have Heavenly Flames? With your strength, you are not enough to deal with our sect."

With a sinister smile, Fan Lao looked at Xiao Yuan, who was "bitterly" persisting amidst the blood-red erosion, clenched his fist, and blood-red energy condensed, solidifying into a Blood-colored Spear that gleamed with a cold light a moment later.

"You little bastard, die!"

A venomous glint appeared on Fan Lao's lips. He sneered and suddenly flicked his arm. Instantly, the Blood-colored Spear tore through space like lightning, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind, and shot towards Xiao Yuan in the blood sphere net.

However, the smile on Fan Lao's face froze the next moment.

Within the blood sphere net, Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile. Immediately afterward, his hands flew across the field, forming hand seals. The black and white flames that had enveloped his body suddenly erupted, incinerating the blood sphere net into nothingness and melting the Blood-colored Spear into wisps of blood vapor right before Xiao Yuan's eyes, causing it to dissipate.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan's aura surged from Three-Star Dou Wang to a six- Dou Wang.

If it were the Yin Yang Dual Flames of the past, they probably wouldn't have been able to help Xiao Yuan raise his strength to the Five Star Dou Wang. However, after the Yin Yang Dual Flames were strengthened, the effect of using the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was obviously much better.

Sensing Xiao Yuan's surging aura, Fan Lao's expression grew increasingly grim.

With this strength, combined with the Heavenly Flames, it's enough to fight him head-on!

But Fan Lao was, after all, a veteran powerhouse in the Black-Corner Region, and naturally he would not be intimidated so easily. He immediately activated his Dou Qi and charged directly at Xiao Yuan.

This time, Xiao Yuan didn't dodge. Through the previous test, he was confident. Although he had only used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, a secret technique to enhance his strength, it was enough to deal with Fan Lao! Black and white flames frantically condensed on his palm. As he clenched his fist, it transformed into a vortex of flames. Xiao Yuan flashed and met Fan Lao's attack head-on. He threw a punch, and the vortex of flames on his fist was blasted out, directly hitting Fan Lao's withered palm.

Boom! Flames erupted, sending up wave after wave of heat. Fan Lao's figure retreated a few steps in mid-air, looking down at his palm, which was already charred, his face turning ferocious.

"Old dog, come on again!"

Xiao Yuan appeared like a ghost beside Fan Lao, his body covered in black and white flames. His fist, accompanied by gusts of sharp wind, slammed towards Fan Lao.

Fan Lao naturally couldn't be careless either. His withered hands moved rapidly, and a surge of blood-red energy suddenly erupted from Fan Lao's body, finally condensing into a circular energy shield as viscous as blood on his left side.

"Bang!"

Xiao Yuan's fist, accompanied by a low sonic boom, slammed hard into the viscous blood-red energy shield. Instantly, a muffled sound rang out, and ripples spread across the blood-red energy shield.

The terrifying force contained in the fist directly compressed the blood-red energy shield into a dangerous arc. However, just when the fist was only half an inch away from Fan Lao's face, the force was finally completely neutralized by the blood-red energy shield. Immediately, with a "bang" sound, the compressed energy shield rebounded violently.

However, Xiao Yuan was naturally familiar with this defensive method that could deflect attacks, and immediately his other fist followed. Then, Xiao Yuan's fists seemed to be two pile drivers, continuously pounding out! If this defensive method that deflects attacks is broken, the caster will inevitably suffer a backlash.

Although with Fan Lao's strength, even if he were to suffer a backlash, it wouldn't cause too much damage, it would still slow down his Dou Qi for a moment. That was exactly the moment Xiao Yuan wanted!

Although Fan Lao did not underestimate Xiao Yuan, he still underestimated the latter's keen reaction to combat. Therefore, before he could react, the heavy punch, comparable to that of a magical beast of the same level, combined with the Heavenly Flames, directly shattered Fan Lao's energy shield.

Fan Lao's face turned pale, and he groaned. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yuan lunged forward, his fists covered in Heavenly Flames pouring down on Fan Lao's chest like a storm!

Each punch brought a booming sound like the beating of a war drum. The terrifying force and the extreme heat of the Heavenly Flames directly shattered the defensive Dou Qi on Fan Lao's chest, and the blood-stained robe on his chest was charred black.

As for Fan Lao's chest, it was also torn open, with a burnt aroma emanating from it.

"Puff!"

The surging Dou Qi in his chest caused Fan Lao to involuntarily spit out a mouthful of blood. However, as soon as the blood was spat out, it turned into a blood arrow that shot straight at Xiao Yuan's face.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan's feet flashed with a blue light, and a thunderous sound rang out. His figure appeared behind Fan Lao, and with a flap of his wings, he kicked Fan Lao in the back.

Wind Eagle Leg! What was once Yellow Rank High Level Dou Technique, now unleashed by Xiao Yuan, was enough to reach the level of Mysterious Rank Dou Techniques. With the amplification of the Heavenly Flames and Xiao Yuan's own power, its power was naturally remarkable, and it immediately kicked Fan Lao away.

Without bothering with any more words, Fan Lao flew out and, before his figure could even stop, he quickly formed hand seals. As his blood energy surged, a set of dark red armor, resembling congealed blood, appeared on his body.

"Blood Devouring Armor!"

The blood-red armor had just been formed when Xiao Yuan's figure flashed to Fan Lao's side again, and his fist, carrying terrifying energy, slammed down wildly.

"Clang, clang!"

The fist, enveloped in Heavenly Flames, slammed heavily onto the blood-black armor, producing a series of sounds like metal clashing. The armor's defensive capabilities were clearly extremely strong; it remained unbroken even under Xiao Yuan's whirlwind-like attacks.

Fan Lao's body kept retreating in the sky. Although his armor blocked a lot of the power, the residual force still made him retreat rapidly. In this environment where countless people were watching, he was actually beaten so badly by a young man of the Dou Wang Stage, which made his face even more gloomy and angry.

Countless students in the distance were extremely shocked as they watched Xiao Yuan display his divine power in the sky. In recent days, Xiao Yuan had not shown himself, and everyone's understanding of his strength was still at the level of defeating Yao Sheng, Seven-Star Dou Ling. Now, seeing Xiao Yuan, with the demeanor of Dou Wang, actually defeating a Dou Huang expert, they were naturally extremely shocked and in awe!

"Clang!"

Another powerful punch slammed into the armor, finally shattering it completely. Before Xiao Yuan could press his advantage, an even more surging and concentrated surge of blood energy erupted from Fan Lao's body. The force of this energy was so strong that it sent Xiao Yuan flying backward! Just as Xiao Yuan was about to regain his footing, a deep, sinister shout suddenly exploded in his ears:

"Blood Demon Hand!"
