I'm Not a Dou Wang, but I'll Kill You All the Same!

The Dou Qi of a Dou Wang and more than a dozen Dou Lings raged violently through the courtyard.

Bai Yi and Chai Family Eldest had gone pale, while Jia Liebi had collapsed limply to his knees.

"May I ask who Your Excellency is, and what brings you here?" Bai Yi swallowed with difficulty and cupped his fists.

He deliberately displayed his Second Grade Alchemist badge, hoping to draw the other party's attention.

"Xiao Family. Xiao Yan."

As Xiao Yan's indifferent voice fell, every hair on Bai Yi's body stood on end.

"You're Xiao Yan?" Bai Yi shrieked in terror.

Hadn't Jia Liebi said that the Xiao Family brat was only fifteen? How could he have condensed Dou Qi Wings?

No!

As he stared at the gorgeous Fire Wings behind Xiao Yan, the fear on Bai Yi's face steadily grew.

"A Heavenly Flame?!"

Whoosh!

The Skeleton Demon Fish Beast Fire within Bai Yi's body shrank into a terrified ball.

When a Heavenly Flame appeared, all flames bowed in worship!

Bang!

Another corpse crashed down. Chai Family Third's mangled body madly assaulted Bai Yi's nerves.

"Third Brother!"

The moment Chai Family Eldest cried out in grief, Xiao Yan flashed down, his right fist surging with dual-colored flames.

"Your third brother tore down our family's gate and tried to kill my family."

"Since he didn't apologize, you can do it in his place."

Xiao Yan's right fist struck Chai Family Eldest's abdomen. More than a dozen brilliant flames erupted with a roar, blasting the ground beneath his feet into dust.

Bang!

That strike, comparable to one from a Dou Wang, tore Chai Family Eldest's body directly into pieces.

Profound Fire Mirror Secret Technique.

Profound Fire Collapse Force!

"Y-you're a Dou Wang?" Even Jia Liebi's voice trembled.

Whoosh!

With an indifferent expression, Xiao Yan flashed forward and seized Jia Liebi by the throat.

"Xiao Yan, kill him!" Xiao Yu shouted sharply.

"You can't..."

Before Jia Liebi could finish, his neck snapped with a crack beneath Xiao Yan's hand.

"I'm not a Dou Wang."

Under the terrified gazes of the Jia Lie Clan members, Xiao Yan flung Jia Liebi's corpse more than ten meters away.

"I'll kill you all the same."

As the most powerful existence on the Dou Qi Continent, Heavenly Flames had an unimaginably high baseline.

Even Yao Lao, a Dou Zong, had nearly lost half his life when subduing the Bone Chilling Flame.

Although Xiao Yan's previous level of Dou Qi had been insufficient to fully unleash the power of a Heavenly Flame, dealing with mere Dou Lings was as easy as eating and drinking.

Thud!

Bai Yi dropped tremblingly to his knees and cupped his fists in fear. "Young Friend Xiao Yan... no, Senior Xiao Yan! I have no grudge against the Xiao Family. It was all because of Jia Lie—"

"Is that what you call an apology?"

Flames surged from Xiao Yan's body as he raised Bai Yi coldly into the air.

"Only when you experience the same pain as my clansmen will it count as an apology."

Whoosh!

The scorching Fallen Heart Flame erupted, engulfing Bai Yi.

"Argh!"

Bai Yi's face twisted as he struggled and resisted miserably, yet the flesh on his body vanished at a visible rate.

"Hm?"

Just as Bai Yi's body was about to disappear, the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire surged out, forming a ferocious beast head.

It devoured and refined the precious Beast Flame within Bai Yi's body, transferring it into Xiao Yan.

Boom!

Boom!

Xiao Yan's Dou Qi rose two levels in succession, and the aura of a Three Star Great Dou Shi was fully revealed.

"A Three Star Great Dou Shi?"

Mittel Tengshan's eyelid twitched. So this was how Xiao Yan had gained his strength!

"Heavenly Flames truly are wondrous things. If I could possess one as well..."

Just thinking about it made Mittel Tengshan feel that the thought was laughable.

Pill King Gu He had traveled through countless nations for the sake of a single Heavenly Flame.

Even if there truly was one, would it ever fall into his hands?

"Just one Heavenly Flame can allow a Great Dou Shi to possess strength comparable to a Dou Ling. If two Heavenly Flames are fused, they might even rival a Dou Wang!" Mittel Tengshan thought to himself.

And this was merely the tip of what Xiao Yan had displayed. If both Heavenly Flames erupted at full force, even he would have to keep his distance.

"Yan'er!"

Xiao Zhan and several Elders finally arrived. When they saw Jia Liebi's corpse, all of them widened their eyes in shock.

"That old dog died just like that?" Xiao Zhan's feelings were complicated.

The joy he had expected did not come.

Instead, he felt a trace of sorrow for a fallen fellow.

"A Great Dou Shi is but a drop in the ocean on this continent—far too insignificant."

Xiao Zhan sighed softly and waved for the clansmen to clean up the battlefield.

Mittel Tengshan smiled. "Young Friend Xiao Yan, may I address you as such?"

Seeing Xiao Yan nod without concern, Mittel Tengshan smiled and invited him out of the courtyard.

"Devouring Beast Flames to cultivate is indeed an enviable ability. However, powerful Beast Flames within the Jia Ma Empire are as rare as morning stars. If this old man can find a few more for you, would you be willing to lend the Mite'er Family a hand should it face a crisis in the future?"

Xiao Yan's eyes brightened, and he chuckled. "Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as offering charcoal in the snow. If Senior can truly find a few more, it would be no different from offering charcoal in the snow to Xiao Yan."

Mittel Tengshan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He immediately summoned an Elder.

"Actually, even if Senior did not do this, Xiao Yan would still lend a hand for Miss Ya Fei's sake," Xiao Yan said with a faintly teasing smile.

"Then the favor Ya Fei will owe you by then will be too great to repay!"

Mittel Tengshan looked at Xiao Yan with a genial smile. As an old fox, he naturally would not miss any opportunity to earn Xiao Yan's goodwill.

"Xiao Yan!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's urgent cry from behind them, Mittel Tengshan knowingly cupped his fists.

"Young Friend Xiao Yan, this old man will remain in Wutan City for the next few days. Should anything arise, notify me at any time. This old man will certainly do everything in his power!"

Huff!

Huff!

Xiao Yu caught up, placing a hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder as she panted heavily.

"Is something wrong?" Xiao Yan asked blandly.

"What are you putting on airs for?!"

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth in anger. After a long while, she finally spoke haltingly.

"About what happened earlier... thanks."

Xiao Yan was baffled. "What happened?"

"You..."

Xiao Yu stomped her foot in fury.

She couldn't exactly say that Bai Yi had nearly done that to her!

"Oh, you mean that."

Xiao Yan suddenly understood. "Then you really should thank me properly. How about this? The matter of me touching your thigh a few years ago is hereby written off."

"Xiao! Yan!" Xiao Yu's face turned green.

She wanted to draw her sword, but recalling Xiao Yan's dashing appearance as he descended from the sky, she forcibly endured it.

"Xiao Yanzi, she carries the scent of the Fallen Heart Flame."

Yao Lao suddenly laughed. "Your Myriad Beast Spirit Fire cannot devour your own Heavenly Flame, but the Fallen Heart Flame at Jia Nan Academy would be a great tonic for you."

"Really?" Xiao Yan's spirits soared.

He was already imagining what kind of surprise devouring a complete Heavenly Flame would bring!

"Once you rise to the Dou Wang level, you can make a trip to Jia Nan Academy. So long as you can pay the price, you may be able to trade for that Heavenly Flame."

Yao Lao smiled as he poured cold water over Xiao Yan. "If you go rashly now, you'll likely be thrown out. Jia Nan Academy not only has Dou Zongs, but its headmaster, Mang Tian Chi, is a Dou Zun."

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. He did not particularly want to respond to Yao Lao.

He had painted such a huge feast before him, yet he could not eat it.

It was too agonizing!

"It'll be dawn again soon."

Xiao Yan adjusted his mood and headed home in eager anticipation.

A new Heavenly Flame.

It was coming again!
