"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry to leave. This junior brother must be Xiao Yan from the Human Hall." Ye Qing suddenly smiled.
Although Ye Qing found the man before him somewhat terrifyingly powerful, he could only speak up to keep him from slipping away.
"Oh, right. The person who just barged into the skies above the Heaven Burning Domain was also me..."
"Well... my strength was too great, and I accidentally lost control." Xiao Yan stopped and smiled at Ye Qing and the other two.
"What?" Ye Qing's body abruptly trembled. Naturally, he knew how terrifying the Heaven Burning Domain was. Even peak Dou Di experts feared it, let alone this brat before him!
"If that is the case, then Senior Brother should come back with me to meet our Second Senior Brother."
"After all, he has been managing the Heaven Burning Domain lately. With something like this happening, he definitely cannot escape responsibility." Ye Qing's mind raced, and he immediately came up with an idea.
"Go back where?"
"I've only just returned. I haven't even gone back to the Human Hall yet, and you want me to go somewhere else?" Xiao Yan could also tell that these three were looking for trouble, and his tone immediately hardened.
"Hehe, Senior Brother, we are from the Earth Hall, so we will not do anything to you. You only need to come back with us and explain yourself. We will definitely let you return to the Human Hall afterward," the two disciples beside Ye Qing said.
"I see..."
"It seems barging into the Heaven Burning Domain really was my fault. Then how about this?"
"You all attack together. If you beat me, I'll go with you. How does that sound?" Xiao Yan suddenly said the next moment.
"What?"
"Junior Brother, are you mistaken?"
"The three of us against you?"
"Wouldn't that be blatantly bullying the weak?"
"Although the Burning Incense Pavilion has no explicit rule against sparring, if word gets out, the other disciples will laugh at us." Ye Qing spoke with extreme disdain.
"Then I'm leaving." Xiao Yan could not be bothered to waste words on them. He was still thinking of returning to Wu Zhu Ju to find Xiao Yi and the others. How could he waste time here?
"You are not allowed to leave!" Seeing that Xiao Yan insisted on leaving, Ye Qing shouted softly.
He was a disciple of the Earth Hall. In terms of status and position, he was far superior to this brat from the Human Hall. Yet this brat did not know what was good for him?
It seemed he needed to teach him a lesson!
"Since you are Xiao Yan, whose name has been spreading throughout the Human Hall, I would like to spar with you. What do you think?" Ye Qing said politely.
"You could have just said so." Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.
"Come on. Let's end this quickly. I'll give you ten seconds." Xiao Yan spoke calmly.
"Brat, words cannot save you sometimes. Do not provoke enemies you cannot afford to offend just for the sake of a momentary verbal victory," Ye Qing said coldly, unable to suppress his anger.
This brat actually did not put their Earth Hall in his eyes?
He definitely had to teach him a lesson!
"Talk after you can last ten seconds." Xiao Yan completely ignored Ye Qing's words. Before Ye Qing could even move, he attacked first!
Boom! Boom! Boom! His terrifying fists shot directly toward Ye Qing's lower body, leaving Ye Qing no time to evade!
At the critical moment, silver Dou Qi flashed all over Ye Qing's body. With a tap of his toes, he immediately left the ground.
"Not bad. Your reactions are decent." Xiao Yan naturally had not used his full strength. After all, this was the Burning Incense Pavilion. Sparring between fellow disciples did not warrant killing intent, so Xiao Yan's attacks were disorderly and utterly casual!
Even so, they placed enormous pressure on Ye Qing!
As they continued exchanging blows, Ye Qing sensed the faint power of flames emanating from Xiao Yan's body!
Although Xiao Yan had hidden that flame deeply, Ye Qing still detected a trace of it, and his heart immediately shook!
No, this cannot continue. Otherwise, I'll sooner or later be defeated by this brat. If I lose, then... Determination flashed through Ye Qing's eyes. Then all the Dou Qi in his body surged forth, as though he were preparing some Dou Ji!
"Using a Dou Ji now..."
"Fine. Let me see whether Holy Flame Dou Qi alone can withstand it." After Xiao Yan spoke, a trace of earthy yellow Holy Flame power spread from his body. However, Xiao Yan suppressed it tightly, so Ye Qing naturally did not sense it.
"Junior Brother, let Senior Brother teach you what it means to respect your elders." Ye Qing raised both hands high above his head, and a terrifying aura instantly gathered.
"You?" Xiao Yan said disdainfully, then slowly stirred the Dou Qi within his body.
"Look!"
"It's the Thunder Chant Bead!"
"That is a low-grade Immortal-tier Dou Ji. I never expected Senior Brother Ye Qing to use even this. It seems this disciple named Xiao Yan is no easy opponent."
"You cannot put it that way. Senior Brother Ye Qing clearly wants to end this match quickly so that Xiao Yan can return with us to the Earth Hall. That is why he used this move." The two Earth Hall disciples discussed it back and forth.
"With this, brat, have a taste of lightning." With a cold snort, the Thunder Chant Bead in Ye Qing's hands, radiating countless arcs of lightning, shot toward Xiao Yan!
The moment the Thunder Chant Bead left his hands, eighty to ninety percent of Ye Qing's Dou Qi was drained. Clearly, using this Dou Ji consumed a great deal of energy.
"Good!" Xiao Yan laughed loudly. Without further hesitation, Holy Flame power wrapped around his entire body, and he charged directly into the incoming Thunder Chant Bead energy sphere!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Terrifying explosions rang out, alerting people in several nearby areas.
"Huh? Isn't that where Ye Qing and the others went to inspect the Heaven Burning Domain? Why does it sound as though someone is fighting?"
"Did something happen?"
"Forget it, it will not take much time. Let's go take a look!" After saying this, the graceful figure vanished instantly and hurried in that direction.
"Damn it, brat, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Ye Qing had just used the Thunder Chant Bead, and his Dou Qi was already somewhat depleted. When he saw Xiao Yan directly charge at it while wrapped in Dou Qi, Ye Qing panicked!
Although the Burning Incense Pavilion did not prohibit open rivalry and secret conflict, if casualties occurred, Ye Qing would be unable to bear the consequences. Moreover, Ye Qing knew that the terrifying power of his Thunder Chant Bead was more than enough to kill a five-star Dou Di expert!
"Damn it, I can't take it back!" Ye Qing tried to retract the Thunder Chant Bead he had unleashed, only to discover that he had already lost contact with it.
"Damn it, don't die!"
"Xiao Yan!" Ye Qing's pupils shrank tightly. He was afraid that Xiao Yan would suddenly be severely injured. If that happened, Ye Qing would never be able to clear his name.
"Senior Brother, your Immortal-tier Dou Ji isn't much."
"Do you have any more? Give me another one?" Just as Ye Qing was gripped by fear, the two forces collided. Yet no power erupted, nor was there even a sound. Xiao Yan simply opened his mouth and swallowed the Thunder Chant Bead whole!
"Madman! This guy must be a madman!" Ye Qing could not help cursing!
"People of the Earth Hall are nothing special. Until next time."
"Remember, our Human Hall is not some soft persimmon for anyone to squeeze." Xiao Yan spoke casually, but the warning in his voice could not have been clearer. Ye Qing's attitude toward the Human Hall had already allowed Xiao Yan to notice something.
Xiao Yan had also seen through the strength of these people. Ye Qing was a late-stage five-star Dou Di. Though not weak, compared to Xiao Yan, the gap between them was simply too great. As for the two disciples following Ye Qing, there was no need to mention them.
"Please wait. How do you explain the matter of the Heaven Burning Domain?" Just as Xiao Yan turned to leave, a sweet voice slowly rang out.
