The white flames outside Wu Tan City shocked everyone. The three clan heads looked at Xiao Yi Xian with fear in their eyes.
Nalan Yanran watched the scene from not far away, equally astonished. She asked Ge Qing beside her, "Can you withstand that Sword Qi?"
Ge Qing put away his shocked expression and replied solemnly, "No!"
Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying, hidden in the shadows, were also surprised by Xiao Yi Xian. At such a young age, she not only possessed Heavenly Flames, but her cultivation was also so high.
Ling Ying glanced at Xiao Yi Xian. She was already a Dou Ling at such a young age—could she have been secretly nurtured by some clan?
After all, how could such a remote place produce such a prodigy?
The Poison Master and the Medicine Master exchanged a glance. Dou Qi Armor instantly covered their bodies as they dashed toward Xiao Yi Xian.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Yi Xian cursed inwardly as the power within her condensed into a suit of white Fighting Armor that covered her body.
"You Su" let out an intense sword hum, as though it yearned for battle.
"Sword One!"
Bone Spirit Cold Flame surged into "You Su," and white Sword Qi slashed out in an instant.
Seeing the blazing Sword Qi rushing toward them, the two exchanged a glance. Flames and Poisonous Gas no weaker than the Sword Qi collided with it at once.
"Boom!"
Thick white smoke instantly shrouded the battlefield, while countless grains of dust coated everyone's faces.
With "You Su" in hand, Xiao Yi Xian took a sword step and instantly arrived beside the alchemist. The sharp blade, wrapped in Bone Spirit Cold Flame, slashed down.
A Fourth-grade Alchemist naturally possessed extraordinary soul power. Though startled by Xiao Yi Xian's speed, the Beast Flame in his hand reacted in time.
"Thud!"
The alchemist was knocked back several meters by Xiao Yi Xian, his feet carving deep furrows into the ground. The Dou Qi Armor on his arm was burned away by the Heavenly Flames.
"As expected of Heavenly Flames!"
The handsome face beneath the Fourth-grade Alchemist's hood was revealed as he generously praised Xiao Yi Xian's Heavenly Flames.
At that moment, the Poison Master silently appeared behind Xiao Yi Xian. Immense Poison Dou Qi instantly enveloped her.
Seeing the Poison Master approach Xiao Yi Xian while continuously releasing Poisonous Gas, the Fourth-grade Alchemist cursed inwardly, "Idiot!"
Heavenly Flames naturally countered poison. Didn't he know that?
Was he rushing in so recklessly just to die?
Xiao Yi Xian did not use her Heavenly Flames to burn away the Poisonous Gas around her. Her small lips beneath the mask parted slightly, and countless streams of Poisonous Gas were instantly swallowed into her stomach.
Looking at the Poison Master within arm's reach, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes gleamed with cunning. She grabbed him directly and frantically sucked the Poisonous Gas from his body.
In only an instant, the Poison Master's body became like dry bones, with not a trace of Dou Qi remaining within him. Xiao Yi Xian glanced at him, and Bone Spirit Cold Flame silently crawled over his body.
"Thump!"
Just like that, the Poison Master died, and Xiao Yi Xian casually tossed his corpse aside.
Watching Xiao Yi Xian absorb so much Poisonous Gas from within the Storage Ring, Medicine Elder said with both anger and amusement, "Nonsense!"
Medicine Elder used his soul power to seal the Poisonous Gas rampaging through Xiao Yi Xian's body into one spot. Otherwise, absorbing it so rashly could have led to grave consequences!
Feeling the Poisonous Gas rampaging through her body being sealed away, Xiao Yi Xian thanked Medicine Elder.
The tide of the battle had now completely turned. Two Dou Lings ganging up on a young Dou Ling had actually been counter-killed.
Looking at the Poison Master, who had already turned to ashes, the Fourth-grade Medicine Master cursed inwardly. How had he ended up with such a useless teammate?
"Why aren't you mercenaries charging in?"
Hearing the Dou Ling expert's words, all the mercenaries could only charge forward helplessly. They merely hoped they would survive, even if they were seriously wounded.
Looking at those once-familiar faces, Xiao Yi Xian shook her head. "You Su" in her hand let out a sword hum.
"Sword One!"
Xiao Yi Xian murmured softly, and Sword Qi wrapped in white flames instantly slashed across those people.
Snow-white flames burned across their bodies, while the sword wounds on their chests took their lives.
Before they could even cry out, they vanished into the flames, causing everyone watching to gasp sharply.
Watching this scene from the Storage Ring, Medicine Elder praised her, but the power within his body was draining away frantically. He said helplessly to Xiao Yi Xian, "Finish this quickly. I can't hold on much longer."
He was a dignified Nine Revolutions Dou Zun, yet now Xiao Yi Xian was nearly draining him to death. If this continued, he would have to fall asleep.
Xiao Yi Xian nodded. If Medicine Elder fell asleep, the changes to the plot would be enormous. She had to end this quickly.
Killing intent flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. The fresh red blood on her battered Bronze Mask made her look like a demon that had returned from hell.
The three clan heads also felt a wave of lingering fear, afraid that this god of slaughter would dispose of them as well.
Xiao Yan stood behind the city gates with Little Spirit, watching the scene with a strange glint in his eyes. When would he become as powerful as his fellow villager?
Seeing how formidable her older sister was, Little Spirit's eyes shone with admiration.
Neither of them knew that it was actually Medicine Elder's power. If Xiao Yi Xian kept using it, Xiao Yan's golden finger might end up falling dormant.
Xiao Yi Xian looked toward the last Fourth-grade Alchemist, killing intent locking onto him.
The alchemist shuddered at the sight. He had not expected the Heavenly Flame to be so overwhelming—and so inexhaustible. Worthy of being a Heavenly Flame. At this point, there was only one option...
"Spare me, my lord! I am willing to offer up my Soul Imprint and follow you for all eternity."
The Fourth-grade Alchemist cast aside all dignity, kneeling on the ground and begging mercy from Xiao Yi Xian, who was countless years younger than him.
Ling Ying nodded as he watched. Abandoning one's pride in the face of death and survival—he was someone worth noting.
"Let's go."
Xiao Xun'er spoke indifferently. There was nothing left to watch.
She had originally thought she would see Xiao Yi Xian get beaten up, then conveniently save Brother Xiao Yan's sister. Unexpectedly, she had miscalculated.
A peculiar light also shone in Nalan Yanran's eyes as she watched. She wanted to become someone like this in the future as well.
The three clan chiefs were equally stunned. He had surrendered so decisively?
Kneeling on the ground, the Fourth-grade Alchemist could naturally see the astonished expressions on those ants' faces with his soul power.
But in his view, following someone with a Heavenly Flame and such potential might allow him to advance even further as a Medicine Master. Perhaps he could even live freely beneath the protection of a powerful expert.
Xiao Yi Xian put away the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and Medicine Elder also withdrew his power. After all, she had already used quite a bit of his strength just now. If she continued, Medicine Elder might not be able to endure it.
Besides, gaining the assistance of a Fourth-grade Alchemist was not a bad thing...
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian nod, the Fourth-grade Alchemist immediately offered up his Soul Imprint. Dropping to one knee, he said, "Liu Yan swears absolute loyalty to you."
Xiao Yi Xian accepted Liu Yan's Soul Imprint. She could clearly sense that this Soul Imprint allowed her to control the life and death of the man before her.
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian accept his Soul Imprint, Liu Yan was overjoyed. Such a powerful heaven-favored genius surely had a great force behind her.
It was good to lean beneath a great tree. He could already imagine his wonderful future. Rather than keep fighting and possibly die, why not surrender?
Only one who could bend and stretch was a true man!
