Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 676 Used as a tool for showing off affection.
Just as Xiao Yan looked around, the contestants in the arena, like a swarm of locusts crossing a river, displayed their unique skills.

"laugh!"

With a slight ripple, a bright, dazzling crimson flame appeared in the arena, immediately causing a slight stir among the crowd.

"That's... Cao Ying's Bloodflame Demonic Flame?"

"Why does he seem different from the one I saw during the family competition?"

The sudden fluctuations drew many people's attention to Cao Ying.

The once crimson flame now had a deep black light swirling within it. Though extremely faint, it seemed to possess some kind of invisible magic, causing the surrounding flames to tremble slightly.

Following Cao Ying, Dan Chen in the distance also ignited its own flame, which also contained a trace of black light, causing a stir.

"These flames seem rather strange."

Frowning as she gazed at the flames on the high platform, a golden glint flashed in Xun'er's eyes, as if some invisible force was drawing the flames within her to erupt.

"Could this have been part of her plan?"

As Xun'er had predicted, as these flames continued to burn, a strange stirring was quietly born in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Hmph, a mere little fire, yet you dare to show off your meager skills in front of me, Master Lu?"

Just as Xiao Yan was immersed in his comprehension, a rather disdainful chuckle suddenly rang out; it was Yao Xingji.

He clenched his fist, and a gust of wind suddenly swept across the field. The eerie wind seemed to come from a deep abyss, instantly causing everyone to become agitated and unable to control themselves.

The moment the fire appeared, the expressions of the several alchemists closest to the Medicine Star changed drastically. They found that their originally calm and undisturbed minds were now violently turbulent.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the medicine cauldrons belonging to those people shattered instantly, knocking them off the field!

"Strange fire?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, several elders on the stands were so distraught that they abruptly stood up from their seats.

Although there have been more than one strange fires at the Pill Gathering, this is the first time one has been as powerful as Yao Xingji's.

"That's... the Nine Nether Wind Flame?"

Looking at the ghostly fire in the center of the gale on the stage, Xuan Kongzi's expression changed drastically, and his face turned ugly.

Nine Nether Wind Flame ranks tenth on the list of strange flames!
Its ranking is so high that it even surpasses Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame!
However, what truly made Xuan Kongzi wary was not the ranking of the Nine Nether Wind Flame.

"Nine Nether Wind Flame was born in the endless abyss of the most yin land. It contains the ultimate wind. When its fire is released, all winds return to its source. When its sound is uttered, it disturbs people's minds and souls."

An elder of the Medicine Clan stroked his beard with a faint smile, a hint of mockery in his expression: "Xuan Kongzi, this Nine Nether Wind Flame, as our clan's inherited flame, shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules, right?"

Xuan Kongzi's face turned ashen, and he said angrily, "You two are both alchemists, so you should know that the most taboo thing in alchemy is to have your mind disturbed!"

"How can it not be considered a foul that Yao Xingji uses the power of his strange fire to disrupt the contestants' mental state?!"

"Haha, that's wrong."

Another elder of the Medicine Clan also laughed and slowly said, "The ability to control fire is also one of the contents of the alchemist assessment. Moreover, as far as I know, the rules of the Pill Association have never prohibited the use of strange fire."

"If the Pill Tower forces Xingji to give up using the Strange Flame, does that mean you also don't intend to acknowledge Yao Chen's victory back then?"

Although the Medicine Clan holds themselves in high regard, this does not mean they are completely inflexible. On the contrary, in order to ensure their victory in alchemy, they often exhaust all their resources and resources to eliminate any possibility of failure.

Therefore, although the elder of the Medicine Clan's words were a distortion of the truth, they seemed quite reasonable and well-founded, and even with Xuan Kongzi's status, it was difficult for him to interfere further.

"This is outrageous! When did Yao Chen ever use a strange fire to interfere with others? You're just twisting the facts!"

Tian Leizi, standing to the side, had a gloomy expression and was about to lash out when Xuan Yi gently stopped him, gesturing for him to look to the other side.

Following the direction Xuan Yi pointed, one could see that the old man who had been pushed into the limelight by the two elders was now surprisingly calm, even with a faint smile on his face.

"."

Tian Leizi was stunned.

He could clearly sense that the old man's smile at this moment was not a mockery of the elders of the Yao clan, but an unprecedented confidence.

That was faith in his disciple.

"Got you."

On the field, Xiao Yan, who had not yet reached the peak of cultivation for a long time, suddenly had a black light flash in his eyes and murmured softly.

The soul fluctuations flowed quietly at this moment, and the flames ignited by Dan Chen and Cao Ying seemed to be flowing through the earth's veins, quietly transforming into a guide leading to the source.

In mid-air, countless people had flushed faces and eyes filled with hatred, yet they dared not show it.

With the presence of the Nine Nether Wind Flame, all of them will be constantly disturbed by the yin wind when refining medicine. Let alone performing at an extraordinary level, even refining pills that they could easily make on ordinary days will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Yao Xingji stood proudly at the center of the arena, his palm crackling with strange fire, like a king surveying the world.

"Om-"

Suddenly, black and gold sparks crackled and flickered on Xiao Yan's body, and raging evil flames surged wildly into the sky.

In an instant, the sky darkened, and the black-gold evil flames seemed to eclipse the sun and moon, threatening to devour the heavens.

"What?!" Yao Xingji's expression changed slightly.

Guided by Xiao Yan, a figure clad in black robes finally revealed a slight smile from the southeast side of the stone platform.

"Ah"

She raised her hand, and the dark blue spiritual fire surged forth like a tidal wave. Moments later, to everyone's horrified gaze, it suddenly collided with the black flames!
"boom!!!"

A deafening roar, loud enough to make one's eardrums bleed, was heard, but the expected terrifying explosion did not occur. Instead, the two balls of flame intertwined and collided together as if they were water and milk.

The next instant, the Nine Nether Wind Flame, which was originally located in the center, was shattered into dust like a candle in the wind, and its remaining energy was swallowed up.

"laugh!"

A mouthful of blood gushed from Yao Xingji's mouth. His once handsome face was now disheveled, and his eyes were filled with a blank stare.

At the center of the arena, Yao Xingji, who seemed like a chosen one of heaven, now appeared as if he were merely an embellishment to the two strange flames. Thousands of flames rose around him, respectfully bowing and paying homage to the sky in his direction.

But the object of their worship was not him.

Gazing at the countless flames that were worshipping him, Yao Xingji felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, the pain causing him to bleed.

Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, his face flushed red, and he couldn't help but let out a low growl:
"what!!!"
-
I'll add another chapter later.
