Whether it was due to the miraculous effect of the Heavenly Flames or the excessive power of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, the forging process was extremely smooth. Although the Heavenly Flames's bone-shaping process caused Xiang Wu Xiang Wuhui pain, he managed to endure it thanks to his Yuan Zun cultivation and the powerful physique of the magical beast.
What pleased Xiang Wuhui was that Xiao Yan had put a lot of effort into refining his bones, and there was not a single flaw in his work. Even with his cultivation level, after careful examination, he could only find the burning sensation left over from the bone refining process, and there was nothing else. The strength of the reshaped bones made him secretly delighted. At the same time, his desire to kill Xiao Yan grew stronger.
As Xiao Yan was refining Xiang Wuhui's bones, Xiao Siyu's injuries were also rapidly recovering with the help of elixirs.
Seven days later.
As the last wisp of flame withdrew from Xiang Wuhui's body, the giant beast mentally examined its internal organs, carefully checking to ensure everything was alright. Only then did it slowly open its tightly closed eyes.
"Hahaha, not bad, truly not bad. To be able to forge bones and blood in such a short time, only Heavenly Flames could do that."
Xiang Wuhui let out a satisfied laugh from his gaping maw. His massive body trembled slightly as he felt the surging power coursing through his limbs and bones, his emotions reaching their peak.
Having completed his bone refining, he was extremely confident that he could find an opportunity to break through to the Five-Star Yuan Zun within a year. If he was lucky, it wouldn't be impossible for him to break through to the Six-Star Yuan Zun in succession. He had been in this godforsaken place for so long, all for this day. As long as his cultivation advanced to the ranks of high-level Yuan Zun, even the Five Dao Sons of the Pill Tower would have to be more respectful to him.
"Senior has accomplished his great task, and I have not failed in my duty. Shouldn't you also keep your promise and let me and my companion leave?"
Just as Xiang Wuhui Wu Hui was feeling quite pleased with himself, Xiao Yan, who was in the void opposite him, suddenly snapped him back to reality with a single sentence.
The former's beastly eyes quickly swept over Xiao Yan, its gaze slightly unfocused. Over the past few days, the human before it seemed that the consumption of Origin Qi in his body was not significant. If he wanted to use the Fire Lotus Dou Technique again, it would be more than enough...
A thought flashed through his mind, Xiang Wuhui suddenly laughed a few more times, then his voice turned serious as he tentatively asked:
"Of course, as a dignified Yuan Zun, how could I go back on my word? However... I just examined my body and seem to have discovered some things that shouldn't exist after bone refinement. Could you please explain them to me, young friend?"
As he spoke, Xiang Wuhui stared intently at Xiao Yan's face with his beastly eyes, as if trying to find some trace on the latter's face.
For several days, he had been enduring the pain of bone refining while repeatedly checking the condition of his body. After all, entrusting his body to a human was something he couldn't feel at ease about, especially since the other party knew that his strength was no match for him. If Xiao Yan in front of him had no thoughts, Xiang Wuhui would never believe it. Although Xiang Wuhui had not found anything unusual in his body, just to be on the safe side, he still tentatively spoke to Xiao Yan.
Upon hearing the former's words, a hint of displeasure immediately appeared on Xiao Yan's calm face, and he said in a deep voice:
"The matter between this junior and senior was merely a transaction. I do not believe I have done anything out of line. If senior intends to break their promise based on this, then they are far too disrespectful to their status!"
This put Xiang Wu Hui in Xiang Wuhui awkward position. Looking at Xiao Yan's confident expression, Xiang Wuhui pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed:
"Haha, what are you saying? My Warcraft race has always kept its promises and its words carry weight. Of course, we will do what we say. But before that, I have something I would like to ask of you, young friend..."
As he finished speaking, Xiang Wuhui's voice quietly turned cold and stern, while Xiao Yan's expression remained calm as he smiled curiously and asked:
What do you mean, senior?
A cold glint flashed in Xiang Wuhui's eyes. His massive body suddenly moved, swiftly raising an arm. His enormous hand instantly reached out to grab Xiao Yan's body, and at the same time, a cold laugh filled with killing intent resounded like a booming bell.
"I'll take your Heavenly Flames!"
Standing still, Xiao Yan smiled as he watched the large hand coming straight at him. Xiang Wuhui Wu Hui's heart skipped a beat at the sight, but there was no time for him to make any more preparations. Rather than having any reservations, he should quickly kill the human in front of him!
Immediately afterward, just as the giant hand was about ten feet away from Xiao Yan's body, Xiang Wuhui's beastly eyes suddenly flashed with pain. His huge body trembled violently uncontrollably, and he let out a scream. His movements also stopped instantly.
Looking inside his body, Xiang Wuhui Hui's bones. It was mixed with pure medicinal power, which made the fire even more intense. In the blink of an eye, it had penetrated his flesh and burned to the surface of his body!
A raging fire burned from the inside out, clinging to Xiang Wuhui's body. The water in the Heavenly Pool where he sat instantly boiled violently. Even with Xiang Wuhui's temperament, he could not withstand this sudden change. Compared to the previous bone-refining experience, the pain he felt now was dozens of times greater. As a result, in just a few breaths, most of his skin and flesh had been burned and rotted away, and the blood made a constant hissing sound.
"Roar!"
After more than ten seconds, Xiang Wuhui, enduring the excruciating pain, roared and his internal Origin Qi surged wildly, forcibly suppressing the Heavenly Flames burning his body. However, the flames that were running rampant inside his body were difficult to control for the time being, even with the support of the pure medicinal power. It seemed that he would not be able to subdue them for a while.
"You little bastard, you dare to scheme against me! Once I've settled this matter, I'll tear you apart, burn your body, and forge your soul!"
Xiao Yan looked at the Xiang Wuhui with a cold smile and sneered:
"Senior, you're mistaken. If you hadn't harbored murderous intent towards me, how could things have come to this? In the end, it's all because of your insatiable greed."
"Die!"
Xiang Wuhui Xiao Yan remained unmoved, his expression suddenly changed the next moment. He hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Siyu. The golden light sphere suddenly began to shrink. Xiao Siyu's injuries had not yet recovered, and she was obviously unable to cope with Xiang Wu Hui's Xiang Wuhui. If the light sphere was allowed to shrink like that, Xiao Siyu would be squeezed into a pool of flesh and blood in a few minutes.
" The Northern King!"
Faced with this, Xiao Yan dared not be careless and immediately summoned the Northern King to attack. The latter clenched his fist and summoned the power of thunder within his body. Vast thunder quickly condensed on the Northern King's arm, vaguely transforming into the shape of a thunder dragon. When the golden sphere shrank by nearly half its original size, the Northern King unleashed a powerful attack. The thunder dragon, carrying the might of a coiled dragon, slammed heavily into the sphere. As an astonishing energy ripple rose from above, the Northern King's body trembled violently, and with a loud bang, he shattered the sphere.
After rescuing Xiao Siyu, Xiao Yan didn't waste any words with her and immediately ordered the Northern King to carry Xiao Siyu and fly swiftly out of the snow mountain.
Those Purifying Lotus Demon Flame were, after all, only Child Flame, and were activated by the medicinal power, so they could not affect Xiang Wuhui's body for long. Therefore, Xiao Yan and his group had to do their best to escape into the deep mountains before he could regain his mobility. It would be best to leave this secret realm as soon as possible to be truly safe.
