Defeating Han Feng, Obtaining the Heavenly Flame and Storage Ring-Xiao Yan: Call Me Yan Xiao

With a single sweep of his sword, the world changed color.

The fiery slash came out diagonally, striking Han Feng at extremely high speed.

Wherever the slash passed, it continued to absorb the surrounding fire-attribute energy, even absorbing the boundless Sea Heart Flame released by Han Feng, thus turning the slash into a dark blue color.

"Earth Rank Dou Skill! Damn it, fly, fly fast!" Han Feng desperately flapped his wings, but still couldn't escape.

The slash drew ever closer.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, he had no choice but to use his Dou Qi to condense armor for emergency protection.

As the heat hit him, Han Feng was sent flying into the air. As the power of the slash dissipated, he crashed heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough cough," Han Feng coughed up blood. He looked down and saw a straight, slanted cut from his left shoulder to his right hip bone.

Most of his body lay to the side, unprotected by any Dou Qi, and was being rapidly burned by the flames.

His protective Dou Qi Armor couldn't even withstand a single blow; it shattered upon contact with the strike, and he was cut in half at the waist.

Han Feng sensed his life force fading away, relying solely on his formidable Dou Emperor cultivation to hold on.

"You think this is the end?" Xiao Yan's voice came from above.

Han Feng looked up and saw Xiao Yan looking down at him, his fiery wings retracting as he landed in front of him.

Han Feng stared intently at Xiao Yan, his hateful gaze seeming to want to skin Xiao Yan alive.

Xiao Yan's eyes were equally cold.

Remembering how Han Feng's Soul Body escaped in the original story, he closed his eyes and activated his Soul Skill!

Soul Skill: Void Soul Prison!

First move: Soul Net!

Soul Power surged from Xiao Yan's body, transforming into an invisible net that completely enveloped Han Feng.

Han Feng sensed that his soul was imprisoned. He was stunned at first, and then a huge fear spread through his heart.

"No... how could this happen... No! Let me go! Let me go!" Han Feng was truly frightened, truly terrified.

He could have survived by relying on his powerful Soul Power and secretly escaped, but Xiao Yan completely blocked his escape route!

He's a despicable person, a coward who clings to life. He worked so hard to become the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, and he finally obtained the Flame Mantra by betraying his master. He doesn't want to die!

Xiao Yan stared coldly at Han Feng, unmoved, and continued to use his Soul Skill.

The second move of the Void Soul Prison: Soul Chain!

The Soul Power transformed into chains, first further controlling Han Feng's Soul Body, and then directly piercing into Han Feng's chest, abdomen, and limbs.

"Ah--!"

A chilling scream escaped Han Feng's lips.

Attacks that strike at the level of the Soul Body cause pain far exceeding that of the physical body.

But that's not all.

Xiao Yan's eyes hardened, and he directly unleashed the third move of the Void Soul Prison.

Soul Prison!

In an instant, his Soul Power transformed into an invisible prison. The Soul Chain that had pierced Han Feng's body twitched, pulling Han Feng's Soul Body directly out and sending it into the invisible prison.

Inside the prison, Han Feng's screams never ceased.

In the Soul Prison, as long as the soul survives, one must endure endless torment!

"Letting you die directly would be too easy for you!" Xiao Yan said coldly.

Then, he placed his palm on Han Feng's corpse, inhaled forcefully, and a ghostly blue flame floated out from Han Feng's body.

Xiao Yan took out the Earth Fire Lotus Platform and stored the Sea Heart Flame inside, planning to absorb it after everything was over.

After putting away the Sea Heart Flame, he took down Han Feng's Storage Ring and put it away carefully.

After doing all this, he raised his head and looked up.

In the sky, the Gold and Silver Elders, were shocked to see that Han Feng had been defeated even before them and had been completely annihilated. In their panic, they thrust a Mystic Ice Spear directly at him.

"Dare to be distracted? You're courting death!" Hai Bodong unleashed his full Dou Zong- level aura, Mystic Ice Spear pierced into Elder Jin's chest.

With Elder Jin injured, the combined attack techniques of Gold and Silver Elders, who were barely able to hold their own against Hai Bodong, caused their combat abilities to drop drastically.

Hai Bodong became increasingly successful, and with a single thrust of his spear, he successfully and severely injured Elder Yin.

The Gold and Silver Elders, knew that defeat was inevitable, and even their survival was uncertain.

Disregarding everything else, the two frantically burned their internal energy, their speed suddenly increasing as they fled into the distance. Their speed was so fast that even Hai Bodong's Void Walking technique couldn't catch up with them.

Just as Hai Bodong was feeling guilty for letting the two escape, Xiao Yan below simply withdrew his hand slightly, Gold and Silver Elders, were immediately stopped.

"Someone has used their Soul Power to envelop the entire Black-Seal City!" The Gold and Silver Elders, clutched their bleeding wounds and spoke in despair.

They regretted it; they regretted agreeing to Han Feng's request to come and besiege Xiao Yan.

But it was all too late, all over.

Hai Bodong arrived and, at Xiao Yan's nod, stabbed the two desperate men to death, then took their Storage Ring and threw them to Xiao Yan.

On the other side, Fan Lao and Ban Lao were also being pushed back by Ling Ying's attacks. Although Yuan Yi didn't make many moves, he was watching them closely, preventing the two from making any rash moves.

With Han Feng's tragic death, the Gold and Silver Elders, fell silent. Ban Lao, with a bitter expression, stopped attacking. Fan Lao, on the other hand, became increasingly frenzied, only to be stabbed to death by Hai Bodong, who arrived at the scene. He then threw his Storage Ring to Xiao Yan.

Ban Lao gave up resisting, and Hai Bodong and Ling Ying did not kill him.

Xiao Yan walked over, Ban Lao immediately kowtowed. "Please spare my life! My relationship with Han Feng was merely a collaboration. I am willing to lead the entire Earth Flame Sect to pledge allegiance to you!"

Hai Bodong scoffed from the side, "To be loyal to you, young friend, is an immense blessing, yet you speak of it as compensation. You are truly shameless."

Xiao Yan raised his hand to stop Hai Bodong from continuing, then took out Medicinal Herbs from his Storage Ring and, in front of Ban Lao, infused them with a wisp of flame.

"Eat it, and your future will be in my hands."

Ban Lao looked distressed, but he dared not refuse to eat.

After he took the pill, its medicinal power spread and completely healed all his injuries.

"Tier 5 Medicinal Pill!" Ban Lao exclaimed in shock.

He can casually refine Tier 5 Medicinal Pill?!

Xiao Yan's casual display of skill made Ban Lao suddenly realize that pledging allegiance to the person before him might actually be a good thing.

Hai Bodong added from the side, "You're lucky. We've just arrived in the Black-Corner Region and are short-handed, needing to establish ourselves. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a chance to survive."

As he spoke, Hai Bodong glanced at Yuan Yi again.

Yuan Yi shuddered, realizing that this was definitely the reason why his opportunistic behavior had escaped punishment.

If Xiao Yan hadn't been able to use him when he first arrived here, he most likely wouldn't be alive now.

Thinking of this, the shrewd man made a decision and said to Xiao Yan, "My lord, please also bestow a pill upon me!"

Xiao Yan looked at him, smiled, and commented, "A smart person."

Another pill was quickly refined and hidden in Yuan Yi.

This also means that Yuan Yi has now truly become his person, although not as trustworthy as Hai Bodong.

Xiao Yan glanced at the messy guesthouse and surrounding area, and said to Yuan Yi, "Clean this place up properly. Black-Seal City is located at the gateway to the Black-Corner Region, and has great development potential. Its future role will be significant, so take good care of it."

"Yes, Yun Xiao!" Yuan Yi's attitude changed swiftly, and he replied respectfully.

After a slight pause, Xiao Yan said, "Yun Xiao is a pseudonym. From now on, call me Yan Xiao."

Yan Xiao?!

Yuan Yi and Ban Lao stared wide-eyed in shock.

That Seventh-Rank Alchemist fame resounded throughout the entire Northwest Continent?!
