Old Yao Makes His Move

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, resounded across the distant sky. In that instant, countless people were momentarily deafened by the tremendous noise.

In the clear sky, an Energy Ripple, like Tornado Storm, burst forth from the setting sun, and then swept across the sky amidst countless horrified gazes!

Where the energy was released, Space Distortion beyond recognition, with deep wrinkles clearly visible, demonstrating the immense power of Lin Ming's full-force use of his Dou Technique. It was so powerful that even space itself was almost blasted apart.

The energy storm's base connected to the Inner Academy, where countless pavilions and houses were utterly destroyed. Apart from the pitch-black Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, all the houses and even trees within hundreds of meters of it were reduced to Ruins by the storm's onslaught! The terrifying destructive power left the students who had taken refuge from the war in the distance dumbfounded.

The storm came quickly and went quickly. After destroying a corner of the Inner Academy, the sweeping storm gradually weakened until it finally dissipated completely.

The storm subsided, and the slightly gloomy sky cleared up again, leaving behind only a mess.

In the sky, the elders looked down at the inner Inner Academy after the storm had subsided, their lips twitching involuntarily. If such attacks were to occur a few more times, the Inner Academy would likely be completely destroyed in the fierce battle, without even needing the eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame.

While the elders were heartbroken over the devastation of the Inner Academy, the powerful figures from the Black Corner Region were focused on determining the fate of the Elder Ban had been struck by the Earth Tier Attack. Had he been annihilated or managed to survive by sheer luck?

As the energy dissipated, a massive, extremely deep Energy Shield instantly appeared at the epicenter of the explosion. However, this Energy Shield was now like a shattered glass jar, riddled with cracks all around.

"Cough cough!"

"Bang!"

A cough was heard, and the Energy Shield, which was already riddled with cracks, shattered instantly, revealing the Elder Ban inside.

"Gulp! This... this is Elder Ban's?" Upon seeing the pitiful figure that appeared, some of the powerful figures in the Black Corner Region immediately swallowed hard and uttered difficult words.

To them, although Elder Ban was ugly before, at least he still looked somewhat human. But now, he was completely unrecognizable as human!

At this moment, the Elder Ban's robes had almost completely turned to powder, and his body was covered with extremely ugly and disgusting burns, making it seem as if there was no good flesh left on his body.

The reddish-brown blood congealed on his burned body, making him look as if he had been skinned and then boiled in oil, a truly horrifying sight. His face, already covered in old tree bark, was even more terrifying, making it almost impossible to distinguish his eyes and nose.

Clearly, although the Elder Ban survived Lin Ming's terrifying Dou Technique using certain methods, the price he paid was too high.

Seeing the Elder Ban in his current state, even Han Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips. At the same time, his attention to Lin Ming increased even further.

After all, when Lin Ming revealed his flames just now, Han Feng recognized that Lin Ming's flames were the Mysterious Yellow Flame ranked twenty-third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

It's important to understand that Han Feng cultivates an incomplete version of the Flame Mantra Cultivation Method. His original purpose in coming here was to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame so that the Flame Mantra could evolve. Now that he knows about another Heavenly Flames, how could he not be interested in obtaining it as well?

As a 6th Grade Alchemist, Han Feng had already discovered that Lin Ming's Soul Power was exceptionally strong, and with the aid of Heavenly Flames, it was almost certain that he was an Alchemist.

This immediately reminded Han Feng of the disturbance caused by the Tier 6 Medicinal Pill that had recently spread within the Jia Nan Academy. At the time, he had assumed it was due to the great improvement in the alchemy skills of the Old Huo in the Alchemy Department, who had been able to refine Tier 6 Medicinal Pill in recent years. But now it seemed that this person was probably the one who caused the disturbance.

Such a young 6th Grade Alchemist, aided by Heavenly Flames —even Han Feng hadn't achieved this level of skill at this point. Furthermore, the Dou Technique he unleashed had left their own Elder Ban in a near-death state, making Han Feng want to kill Lin Ming.

However, Han Feng himself is currently tied down by Hu Gan, and doesn't even have the chance to break the seal, let alone cause trouble for Lin Ming.

The Elder Ban, who had just revealed himself, had no time to care about his appearance. He only knew that if he stayed any longer, he would undoubtedly die. So, in a short while, the Elder Ban transformed into a streak of light and fled towards the outside of the academy.

"Trying to run! Die!" Seeing the Elder Ban escape, Zi Yan immediately gave chase.

Lin Ming wanted to call out to Zi Yan not to chase after her, but before he could even speak, Zi Yan had already disappeared, so he could only let her go.

With Zi Yan's strength, even if the Elder Ban were at his peak, he might not be able to defeat Zi Yan, let alone now.

Zi Yan's departure, and Lin Ming's need to recover his Dou Qi after using Earth Tier Dou Technique Dou Qi, brought a sigh of relief to the Black Corner Region's experts present. If these two had joined the battle, they would have had to consider whether to retreat immediately. After all, no one wanted to take a hit from an Earth Tier Dou Technique and then leave their fate to chance.

"You little bastard, you've given me a good search! Go and be buried with my son!" The battlefield, which hadn't been quiet for a moment, was suddenly shattered by a thunderous roar that echoed across the sky.

Now that this was a rare opportunity, Fan Lao, who had already discovered the murderer of his son, immediately charged towards Xiao Yan without any hesitation.

Seeing a blood-red figure rapidly enlarging in his pupils, Xiao Yan's wings flapped rapidly, and he flashed away like lightning, about to shake off Fan Lao.

However, Dou Emperor is not so easy to shake off. Just as Xiao Yan First Revolution, a sharp gust of wind flashed by. Seeing Fan Lao attacking again, Xiao Yan had no choice but to forcefully twist his body again to narrowly avoid the blood-red energy.

Being able to dodge the attacks of a Dou Emperor Expert twice was already Xiao Yan's limit. So much so that when he saw Fan Lao about to appear above him and smash down the Bloody Energy he had just blocked, Xiao Yan could only close his eyes tightly.

"It's time for your teacher to make his appearance!" Lin Ming thought to himself, sensing the fluctuations in Old Yao's Soul Power within Xiao Yan's body.
