A Comical Ending

The white flames outside Wutan City shocked everyone. The three clan leaders looked at Xiao Yi Xian with fear in their eyes.

Nalan Yanran, watching from not far away, was equally astonished. She asked Ge Qing beside her, "Can you withstand that Sword Qi?"

Ge Qing put away his shocked expression and said 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 great clan?

After all, how could such a remote place produce such a peerless genius?

The Poison Master and the alchemist exchanged a glance. Dou Qi Armor instantly covered their bodies as they rushed toward Xiao Yi Xian.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Yi Xian cursed inwardly. The power within her gathered, forming a suit of white Dou Armor around her body.

You Su let out an intense sword hum, as though it were yearning for battle.

"Sword One!"

The Bone Cold Mysterious 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 engulfed the battlefield, and countless clouds of dust covered the faces of those present.

With You Su in hand, Xiao Yi Xian took a sword step and instantly arrived beside the alchemist. The sharp blade, wrapped in the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, slashed down.

A Fourth-grade Alchemist's soul power was naturally extraordinary. 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. Even the Dou Kai on his arm had been 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 openly praised Xiao Yi Xian's Heavenly Flames.

At that moment, the Poison Master silently appeared behind Xiao Yi Xian. Enormous 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 court death?

Xiao Yi Xian did not use the 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 were filled with cunning. She grabbed him directly and frantically absorbed the poisonous gas from within his body.

In merely an instant, the Poison Master's body became like a dried corpse. Not a trace of Dou Qi remained inside him. Xiao Yi Xian glanced at him, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame quietly crept over him.

"Thump!"

A Poison Master died just like that, and Xiao Yi Xian casually tossed his corpse aside.

Watching Xiao Yi Xian absorb so much poisonous gas from inside the Storage Ring, Yao Lao said with a mixture of anger and amusement, "Nonsense!"

Yao Lao used his soul power to seal the poisonous gas rampaging through Xiao Yi Xian's body. Otherwise, absorbing it so rashly could lead to serious trouble!

Feeling the poisonous gas rampaging through her body become sealed into one spot, Xiao Yi Xian thanked Yao Lao.

At this point, the battle had completely turned around. Two Dou Lings had ganged up on a young Dou Ling, only to be counter-killed.

Watching the Poison Master turn to ashes, the Fourth-grade Alchemist cursed inwardly. How had he ended up with such a pig of a teammate?

"Why aren't you mercenaries attacking?"

Hearing the words of a Dou Ling expert, all the mercenaries could only swarm forward helplessly. They merely hoped to survive, even if they were badly 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 whispered softly, and a streak of 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, making everyone suck in a sharp breath.

Watching this from within the Storage Ring, Yao Lao praised her, but the power in his body was draining away madly. Somewhat helplessly, he said 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 dry. If this continued, he would have to fall asleep.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded. If Yao Lao fell asleep, the changes to the plot would be enormous. She needed to end this quickly.

A trace of killing intent flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. The bright red blood staining her worn bronze mask made her look like a demon returned from hell.

The three clan leaders were filled with lingering fear, afraid that this god of slaughter might casually deal with them as well.

Behind the city gates, Xiao Yan watched this scene with Xiao Ling'er, a strange light flickering in his eyes. When would he become as powerful as his sister?

Seeing how formidable her sister was, Xiao Ling'er's eyes shone with admiration.

Neither of them knew that it was actually Yao Lao's power. If Xiao Yi Xian continued using it, Xiao Yan's golden finger might fall asleep.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the last remaining Fourth-grade Alchemist, her killing intent locking onto him.

Seeing this, the alchemist shuddered. He had not expected the Heavenly Flames to be so overwhelming and seemingly inexhaustible. Truly worthy of being Heavenly Flames. At this point, there was only one option...

"Spare me, my lady! I am willing to offer my soul imprint and follow you for eternity."

Without the slightest dignity, the Fourth-grade Alchemist knelt on the ground and begged Xiao Yi Xian for mercy, despite her being far younger than him.

Ling Ying nodded at the sight. Abandoning one's pride before death and survival—he was someone of substance.

"Let's go," Xiao Xun'er said indifferently. There was nothing left to see.

She had originally thought she would get to see Xiao Yi Xian being beaten, 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 leaders were dumbfounded by the sight. He had admitted defeat and surrendered so decisively?

Kneeling on the ground, the Fourth-grade Alchemist could naturally see the astonished expressions of those ants with his soul power.

But in his view, following someone with Heavenly Flames and such potential might allow him to advance further as an alchemist. Perhaps he could even live freely beneath the wings of a powerful expert.

Xiao Yi Xian withdrew the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and had Yao Lao take back his power. She had already used quite a bit of Yao Lao's strength just now; if she continued, Yao Lao truly might not make it.

Besides, having the help of a Fourth-grade Alchemist would be useful...

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian nod, the Fourth-grade Alchemist immediately offered up his soul imprint. Dropping to one knee, he said, "Liu Yan swears 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. With such a powerful genius, he refused to believe she had no force backing her.

It was good to shelter beneath a great tree. He could already imagine his wonderful future. Rather than continue fighting and possibly die, why not surrender?

A true man knew when to yield and when to stand tall!
