Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well (1)

Zhao Xiaotian's gaze was resolute, but no one present would believe the words of a mere child. Yet Zhao Xiaotian's next action left everyone present stunned.

Zhao Xiaotian stretched out his hands and condensed a ball of black fire and a ball of white fire. He said, "This flame can ward off the cold, and it can even make one's entire body unbearably cold. This black flame, meanwhile, possesses an utterly rigid and blazing effect, but practicing with it too much will leave a person in a prolonged state of excitement."

Before Qian Daoliu and Old Madam Liu could speak, Dugu Bo directly said, "Good! This old man believes you!"

At that, Zhao Xiaotian smiled. "Let's go! Take me to your herb garden!"

Dugu Bo frowned and asked, "How did you know I have an herb garden?"

"Hehe! I may have been unconscious, but I didn't lose my hearing. Everything you said outside my room entered my mind."

Zhao Xiaotian said with a smile.

Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile as well. "That's right! Being unconscious doesn't mean the body's other functions disappear! Let's go. This old man will take you to my herb garden."

Qian Daoliu transmitted his voice, "Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, you two go as well. If that Poison Douluo makes any suspicious move, kill him immediately!"

Seeing that Zhao Xiaotian was going with Dugu Bo to the herb garden, Qian Renxue stepped forward as well. "I'm going too! I want to stay with my little brother!"

Qian Daoliu found it difficult to dissuade her, so he transmitted his voice again. "Pufferfish, Snake Lance, you two go as well. No matter what happens, protect Xiaotian and Xiaoxue."

Before long, Dugu Bo used the power of his Level 92 Titled Douluo cultivation to fly into the air. Zhao Xiaotian paid it no mind, spreading his External Soul Bone, the Shadow Demon Wings, and taking to the sky.

Qian Renxue did not need a soul bone to fly, so she spread her six wings and followed. Five Titled Douluo were already following in secret, yet neither Zhao Xiaotian, Qian Renxue, nor Dugu Bo noticed them.

Liu Jin was still doing the same as before, using his Fifth Soul Skill, White Shadow Stealth. He concealed himself in an extremely hidden location where Zhao Xiaotian and the others could not find him.

Soon, after flying for over an hour, the three finally arrived above Sunset Forest. With Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, and the five Titled Douluo in the shadows slowly releasing their pressure, the flying soul beasts of Sunset Forest did not attack them and instead hid away.

Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Sunset Forest? Senior Poison Douluo, is your herb garden on the outskirts of Sunset Forest?"

Dugu Bo chuckled. "Hehe! This old man's herb garden isn't somewhere as conspicuous as the outskirts of a forest. It lies deep within Sunset Forest."

"Deep within Sunset Forest?"

Zhao Xiaotian looked at Dugu Bo and said this with some confusion. Dugu Bo replied, "You'll know once we get there!"

Dugu Bo flew deeper into Sunset Forest again, and Zhao Xiaotian exchanged a glance with Qian Renxue before following closely behind.

However, two pairs of eyes were already watching Zhao Xiaotian and Qian Renxue from deep within Sunset Forest. Qian Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo also frowned, for they felt a strong sense of unease.

Sure enough, while Dugu Bo, Zhao Xiaotian, and Qian Renxue were flying through the air, they were attacked by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Gale Golden-Winged Eagle and a 99,000-year Cave Spider Empress nearing the Hundred-Thousand-Year level.

The five Titled Douluo in the shadows had already activated their Soul Power, ready to attack at any moment. The reason they had activated their Soul Power in secret was because they were waiting for one person to make his move.

That person was Liu Jin, at the peak of Level 97. He had already activated his Sixth Soul Skill, White Shadow Hand. Liu Jin appeared before Zhao Xiaotian and Qian Renxue, and a pair of white shadow hands emerged behind him, clenching into fists and striking forward.

The Gale Golden-Winged Eagle spoke in human language and roared, "Humans! You trespassed into my territory and still dare to fight back! Today will be your day of death!"

Liu Jin sneered. "A mere 170,000-year little golden eagle has no right to spout nonsense here!"

As he spoke, nine soul rings appeared around Liu Jin: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red. When the Gale Golden-Winged Eagle saw Liu Jin's soul rings, especially the final two vivid red rings, it flew into a rage.

"Die, humans! Humans who slaughtered my soul beast kin! Golden Eagle Wind Feathers!"

Countless golden feathers shot toward Liu Jin and the others at the speed of a fierce gale. The four Titled Douluo in the shadows no longer concealed themselves and leaped out, each releasing their soul rings and Martial Soul Avatars.

They all knew that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was not something a single Titled Douluo could withstand, so the four of them appeared to deal with this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast together.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo was resisting the spiderwebs continuously spewing from the ground. Dugu Bo was merely an ordinary Level 92 Titled Douluo; he could not even defeat a 99,000-year Cave Spider Empress.

Zhao Xiaotian's eyes glowed with golden light as he watched Dugu Bo's battle against the Cave Spider Empress. His Second Soul Skill had already been activated, forming a long spear.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaotian was continuously urging the Spirit Energy within his body, converting it into lightning power. He intended to use all his Soul Power to unleash his strongest attack: "With one move of the spear, Heavenly Thunderfall!" But he still needed time to gather power.

Qian Renxue activated her martial soul, the Six-Winged Seraph. The ideal configuration of two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings appeared around her. Zhao Xiaotian did not notice the changes beside him, instead staring intently at Dugu Bo's battle.

Dugu Bo continuously used his skull bone skill, Medusa's Gaze, but every gaze was evaded by the Cave Spider Empress.

Qian Renxue activated her innate domain, and the Angel Holy Sword appeared in her hand. She slowly descended to the ground, planting the sword's tip into the earth as she looked upon the Cave Spider Empress like an angel queen.

Qian Renxue's domain enhanced Dugu Bo while suppressing the Cave Spider Empress. Dugu Bo was also adept at seizing opportunities. Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Cave Spider Empress focused on Qian Renxue, one gaze temporarily petrified its spider legs.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Zhao Xiaotian dashed atop the clouds and assumed a spear-throwing stance. The lightning power in the sky continuously gathered upon the spear in his hand.

"With one move of the spear, Heavenly Thunderfall!"

Whoosh!

The sound of air tearing reached everyone's ears. Even the citizens of Heaven Dou City, the closest city to Sunset Forest, heard the thunderous blast.

The spear shot downward at tremendous speed, piercing the Gale Golden-Winged Eagle's right wing and punching through the Cave Spider Empress's head. Enduring the excruciating pain, the Gale Golden-Winged Eagle used every ounce of strength in its body to shake off Liu Jin and the others before fleeing.

Zhao Xiaotian slowly descended and beckoned with his hand. The spear that had pierced through the Cave Spider Empress's head flew back into his grasp. After withdrawing his soul skill, Zhao Xiaotian slowly stepped forward and looked at the black soul ring streaked with red.

Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Pufferfish, Snake Lance, and Liu Jin also landed on the ground. Pufferfish Douluo said, "What a pity. A soul ring of such a high age would have been perfect as a Ninth Soul Ring."

Zhao Xiaotian said nothing. Instead, he summoned a dagger in his hand and slowly walked toward the Cave Spider Empress's corpse, beginning to carve it apart.

After cutting for a long time without finding a soul bone, Zhao Xiaotian gave up. Qian Renxue had already withdrawn her martial soul and domain. She walked to Zhao Xiaotian's side and looked at the Cave Spider Empress's corpse, which had been sliced into a bloody mess.

Qian Renxue did not find it disgusting, but she still said, "Xiaotian, not every soul beast has a soul bone. Let's continue on our way first."
