Xiao Yan: You Think You Can Run?!

"The God Slaying Triple Axe!"

Three axe blades, each increasing in power and speed, merged into one halfway through, easily tearing open the space in their path, creating large cracks that arrived in an instant.

"The Strange Fire Eternal Ruler!"

A dazzling, colorful giant ruler clashed with the Axe Shadow.

"Boom!"

The aftershocks of the battle shattered the surrounding Space Turbulence, and the dazzling light of the giant ruler dimmed considerably. Xiao Yan's bare upper body suffered new injuries, which were then burned away by a liquid-like green flame, restoring him to his original state. He became energetic again, a scene that made the distant Barbarian Revered's brows twitch, his large face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

It's happening again!

"What kind of flame is that?"

Barbarian Revered was already helpless. The boy's combat strength was far inferior to his own, but he had mastered a strange fusion flame. Every time they fought, he could inflict some damage on the boy, but the strange green flame would quickly restore him. Since the start of the battle, the boy's vitality had become increasingly vigorous!

In addition, there is a strange colorless flame. Every time you are touched by that colorless flame, you will feel restless and when you come to your senses, you will see a large ruler or a bunch of gorgeous flame lotuses smashing towards your face.

Its powerful regenerative ability and ability to influence the mind are just the most outstanding features. In just a quarter of an hour of fighting, the opponent's flames have changed into more than ten different forms and colors, summoning phantoms of Magical Beast, poison gas, burning Evil Qi, and purifying. The functions are bizarre and the power is not great, but it can affect people's mentality. It is much more troublesome than the Divine Fire of the Great Thousand World!

"And that Fire Spirit..."

Damn, there are only a handful of people in the Great Thousand World who have this thing!

Just what kind of blessed and extraordinary place is this Fierce Qi Continent, that it could give birth to Fire Spirit? A spirit..."

Barbarian Revered recalled the Flame Doll that had stayed by Xiao Yan's side throughout the battle. With a wave of its little hand, a bunch of Fire Lotus would come crashing down on him, which was terrifying to look at.

"Emperor Flame!"

After slightly comforting Xiao Yi, who had hidden behind him because of the Barbarian Revered's gaze, Xiao Yan, contrary to his usual behavior, stopped fighting and actually answered the Barbarian Revered's question.

It wasn't that Xiao Yan felt tired; in fact, he appeared energetic. Whenever his Dou Qi showed signs of depletion, a force would suddenly enter his body, transforming into pure Dou Qi and eliminating his fatigue, allowing him to maintain his peak condition at all times.

The real reason Xiao Yan stopped was that he noticed the furtive actions of the seniors, and he could buy them time to cooperate.

"Young man, pledge allegiance to my Evil Clan, and you and all the creatures of this continent will be spared from death."

"You too will be highly valued by my clan."

The Barbarian Revered Lord's original intention in coming here was to provide a guarantee for conquering the Fierce Qi Continent. He would kill off the vast majority of the creatures on the Fierce Qi Continent, send back a small number of "essence" for experiments, and leave behind the relatives and friends of the Langya Palace Master to use as blackmail.

But now, his original intention has changed.

People can be spared, or even completely preserved; they only need to occupy this land.

Xiao Yan's strength and performance justify his conditions; of course, this is also a last-ditch effort, even if the chances are slim.

As expected, Xiao Yan responded with his Twenty-Two Colored Destruction Fire Lotus.

"There is no precedent in our Fierce Qi Continent for serving as dogs for invaders."

"Since you are unwilling to leave voluntarily, then we will sweep you out."

"The Netherworld Sky Wrath!"

Upon seeing the familiar Soul Giant, the Barbarian Revered's pupils shrank instinctively, and he activated the Phantom Demon Axe shield to block the soul impact.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan sneered, and the giant disappeared instantly. Behind him, Xiao Yi's innocent and round face was adorned with the same smile as Xiao Yan's, and the flames reflected around her. Another lotus of fire roared in.

"Hmph, a mere trick."

The Barbarian Revered revealed a mocking smile, wielding a giant axe with impenetrable force, shattering all the incoming flame lotuses and creating a magnificent sea of fire on the battlefield.

The sea of fire subsided, Barbarian Revered stood holding an axe in one hand.

"Hmph! How about it..."

Before he could finish speaking, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart. He seemed to see the ghosts of his former subordinates before him, looking at him with resentment, hatred, and malice, casting the most vicious curse in the world. Countless ghosts were ferociously rushing towards him.

"Kill!"

Forbidden Ground, the Barbarian Revered swung the Phantom Demon Axe. He had never taken his former defeated enemies seriously. Lost in the illusion, his only thought was to send these undead back to their graves.

"It worked?"

The Barbarian Revered suddenly stopped moving. Xiao Yan, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately realized that this was the result of his own planning.

In the battle against the Barbarian Revered, Xiao Yan frequently used the powerful Twenty-Two Colored Fire Lotus Dou Techniques, which made the former feel a certain threat, but he was able to deal with it with ease. Over time, as he became more familiar with it, his contempt for the Fire Lotus would unconsciously rise.

Sure enough, when he used the same trick again, the Barbarian Revered instinctively responded by smashing it. However, this time he not only smashed the Destruction Fire Lotus, but also several colorless versions of the Fallen Heart Lotus that Xiao Yan had specially modified!

In the decades since Xiao Yan advanced to the Dou Di, his cultivation level has not increased rapidly, but his ability development has been on a completely different level. His greatest achievement is undoubtedly the ability to freely transform the Emperor Flame form.

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor Flame can be the Void Flame Devouring, the Purification Lotus Demon Fire...

Imagine what it would be like if some Exotic Fire received all the power of the Emperor Flame?

Going a step further, Xiao Yan developed various flame lotuses that primarily featured certain flame characteristics while also possessing the power to Fusion Exotic Fire.

This time, it is the "Fallen Heart Lotus" with the Fallen Heart Flame as its main body. Once caught off guard by the explosion of the Fallen Heart Lotus, one will inevitably fall into the illusion in one's mind ignited by the heart fire, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

Clearly, the Barbarian Revered had made a careless move and fallen into Xiao Yan's trap.

Even so, facing someone as powerful as the Barbarian Revered, Xiao Yan remained cautious. He waved his hand, and the flames within his body surged forth once more. The Destruction Fire Lotus underwent an astonishing "version update," including but not limited to versions such as the Void Flame Devouring version, the Purification Lotus Demon Fire version, and the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame version...

Over a hundred Fire Lotus of various colors were relentlessly thrown at the Barbarian Revered until Xiao Yan realized that his Dou Qi was almost depleted. Only then did he stop. The Fire Spirit Xiao Yi behind him was so exhausted that she almost collapsed to the ground. After all, more than a hundred Destruction Fire Lotus were too much for a child in her fifties!

"Is that enough?"

Staring intently at the sea of fire still raging amidst the Space Turbulence, Xiao Yan panted as his internal Dou Qi recovered at a speed he had never experienced before.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's pupils contracted sharply. The sea of fire churned incessantly, and Demon God Phantom tens of thousands of feet tall rose from the ground. With a single axe stroke, it tore the sea of fire apart and slowly emerged from it, as if a demon had returned from the karmic fire of hell.

The Barbarian Revered dragged the Phantom Demon Axe downwards, leaving traces in the void with each step. His pace was unhurried, and each time he appeared, he was a thousand steps away.

Caught completely off guard, the Barbarian Revered Lord was relentlessly bombarded by over a hundred Destruction Fire Lotus, and his current appearance was hardly imposing.

His once imposing armor was now shattered beyond recognition, large patches of flesh torn away, and two-thirds of his skin bore scars from the burning of Exotic Fire that were difficult to heal. He exuded the aroma of roasted meat, and was almost unrecognizable as a human being. His aura was extremely weak.

They can't be called defeated soldiers, but they can be considered beggars and hooligans.

However, contrary to his physical condition, Xiao Yan's gaze was fixed on those burning pupils. From the other's gaze, Xiao Yan felt an unprecedented sense of pressure. Was it anger, killing intent, or surprise and joy?

The Barbarian Revered spoke, his tone calm and weathered, as if recounting his own life.

"Over the years, I have killed many powerful beings in the Great Thousand World. I thought that apart from peak beings like the Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme, no one in this world could pose a threat to me."

"You're the first!"

"Therefore, I will do everything in my power to take you down!"

Xiao Yan's heart sank. Behind him, Xiao Yi, who was connected to him by heart, had begun to condense Fire Lotus. The Strange Fire Eternal Ruler in his palm shone with unprecedented light, and a vast amount of Soul Strength poured out, firmly locking onto every inch of the Barbarian Revered's body and every movement, ready for battle.

The Barbarian Revered raised his giant axe high with both hands, and a soul-stealing power was hidden within the Phantom Demon Axe, ready to be unleashed.

"Cut!"

The black Axe Shadow smoothly sliced through space. As it drew closer, the Axe Shadow expanded, as if it would cut the world in two. In an instant, in Xiao Yan's vision, he felt as if he were on a battlefield, with a demon god roaring and charging towards him.

"The Flame Emperor Body!"

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he shouted.

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the earth suddenly cracked open with huge fissures, and scorching magma surged continuously from the earth's core, turning into rolling red flames that flowed into Xiao Yan's body. In a short time, a giant tens of thousands of feet tall took shape, and the Strange Fire Eternal Ruler was unleashed.

"Boom!"

After a deafening explosion, Xiao Yan unleashed his Soul Strength once more, carefully preparing for the next attack. However, the next moment, Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, and without thinking, he shouted out...

"You think you can run away?!"
