Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 164 The Protagonist's Strength

At this moment, looking at his teacher Yao Lao who had been extracted from his body, Xiao Yan felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and his eyes turned red. You must know that although Yao Lao had absorbed his three years of Dou Qi, making him a useless piece of trash.

During these three years, however, the old doctor helped him without holding back at all, proving to be a true mentor. Moreover, he repeatedly spared no effort to help him with his own soul power.

It could be said that in Xiao Yan's heart, Yao Lao's status was already somewhat comparable to that of his father, Xiao Zhan.

Without Yao Lao, there would be no Xiao Yan as we know him today.

At this moment, faced with such a situation, he was completely unable to remain calm.

With a fierce gaze fixed on Chen Feng standing before him, pure killing intent emanating from him, Xiao Yan roared, "From now on, I will definitely kill you, I definitely will!"

Hearing Brother Jiao's threatening words, Chen Feng's expression did not change much. He chuckled and then suddenly exerted force with his right hand. His crystal-clear blue hand, as smooth as sapphire, completely extracted Yao Lao's soul from Xiao Yan's body.

Chen Feng's actions did not stop at all. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. It was not strong, but it was extremely pure.

The white flames all over his body gathered in his left hand, forming a huge pillar of fire. The rolling flames converged and flowed, coloring the sky above the Yunlan Sect.

boom! ! !
With a twist of his body, he swung his left hand out with all his might, unleashing a tremendous roar that resounded throughout the entire arena, causing the whole world to tremble.

Akainu's signature attack, the Dark Dog, known as the strongest single-target attack in One Piece, was unleashed by Chen Feng.

With the powerful All-Seeing Eye, and given that the nature of Akainu's magma is not too different from his own flames, he can completely copy it after only one exchange.

Without the slightest hesitation, he smashed it straight at Xiao Yan's head, going all out without holding back.

After all, for someone like Brother Lucky, a chosen one of the world, the best way to give is to go all out.

Faced with this devastating blow, Xiao Yan calmed down, a bitter smile appearing on his face, knowing that there was no way to avoid it.

Even a Dou Zong expert wouldn't be able to block this move so easily, let alone a Da Dou Shi, especially one who was already seriously injured.

Unfortunately, the father's whereabouts remain unknown to this day...

Just as he was about to succeed, Yao Lao, who had been completely pulled away from Xiao Yan's body, suddenly had a bright white light in his eyes. His entire soul seemed to be burning, and he broke free from his restraints. He suddenly waved his sleeve, and a powerful spatial force rippled outwards.

Forced by this immense force, Xiao Yan instantly sped towards the deep mountains and forests in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, he had escaped the range of the flames.

Gazing at the battlefield receding into the distance, feeling the powerful yet gentle force, Xiao Yan was stunned, and tears welled up in his eyes.

At the same time, Yao Lao's gentle voice echoed in Xiao Yan's heart: "Little guy, this is my last remaining strength. I never expected such a change to happen. Alas, life is unpredictable. Just take it easy."

"When that person appeared, I already sensed that things were not going well. I originally wanted to leave the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to you, but unfortunately, the other party seemed to be prepared. That blue hand actually pulled my strange flame out along with it."

"It's all about timing and fate. I've given you what I was supposed to give you, little one. The rest of the journey is up to you. I don't know what they want from me. Maybe I can survive, but remember one thing: don't seek revenge. I believe you will become a remarkable person in the world in the future."

With the utterance of those final words, the remaining power of Yao Lao within Xiao Yan's body completely dissipated...

Looking at Xiao Yan fleeing into the distance, Yun Shan was stunned for a moment, then quickly gave the order: "All Yunlan Sect disciples, listen to my command, enter that deep mountain forest and find him, kill Xiao Yan at all costs!"

Upon hearing this order, Yun Yun trembled, biting her pale lips, unable to utter any words of pleading.

Watching Xiao Yan flee into the distance, Chen Feng let out a soft breath, his gaze falling on Yao Lao, who was restrained by the blue hand in his hand, his eyes revealing a subtle expression.

"Old sir, how have you been? You went to such lengths for your disciple. If you had used that power on yourself, you might have been able to escape from me. I never expected you to use it all on your disciple."

Even after being captured, the old apothecary remained composed. Despite his plan being exposed, he showed no sign of panic. He carefully scrutinized Chen Feng for a moment before calmly speaking:
"My crippled body is of little value. It would be better to let my disciple escape. As far as I know, you are not a member of the Soul Hall. So your actions this time are probably to obtain the strange fire in my possession or knowledge related to alchemy?"

Upon hearing these words, Chen Feng let out a soft exclamation and nodded: "That's right, my goal is to obtain all the strange fires in the world, or more precisely, to collect all the strange fires in the world. It just so happens that Xiao Yan has appeared in front of me, and he even has two kinds of strange fires. Under such temptation, I have no choice but to take action."

"It cannot be denied that your disciple's talent and opportunities are indeed remarkable, ranking first in the entire world. So now that we have made our move, I must do everything in my power to kill him."

The words "collect all the strange flames in the world" immediately made Yao Lao's heart tighten. He passed on the Burning Technique to Xiao Yan, but it was only a Yellow-rank technique. To evolve it, he had to absorb and refine strange flames.

Without a doubt, this conflicts with the purpose of the person before them. To put it dramatically, it's tantamount to a struggle over lineage. For people like them, this is the reason why they must send assassins...

Even so, Yao Lao remained calm, his expression unchanged. He shook his head, chuckled, and pointed at Xiao Yan, who was about to disappear into the distance: "What, at this distance, you still want to kill him? Dou Zong experts are indeed powerful, but they haven't reached the level of Dou Zun who can tear through space. With my disciple's luck and temperament, escaping shouldn't be difficult."

The two talked to each other in a calm tone, and there seemed to be no sign of them getting angry or upset.

Chen Feng remained noncommittal to Yao Lao's words, raised his head, activated his Myriad Manifestations Eye to its fullest extent, and spoke in a faint voice.

"Oh, old sir, no one can escape my eyes. You don't think I didn't notice your movements when I was trying to catch you, do you? In my mind, you are just as important as your disciple. If you really want to escape, I'm afraid I have a very high chance of losing you. That's fine with me."

"Besides, do you really think your disciple can escape from my grasp?"

The next moment, Chen Feng formed hand seals, and his All-Seeing Eye looked at Xiao Yan who was fleeing ahead, seemingly triggering some kind of spell.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in Yao Lao's heart, and he quickly turned around to look at Xiao Yan in the distance.

As Chen Feng finished his hand seals, a burst of white light shone brightly on Xiao Yan's body, like a giant spotlight, clearly visible and illuminating the surrounding area even in daylight.

Yao Lao stood there, stunned, his voice filled with disbelief: "How is this possible? You didn't even encounter Xiao Yan. Why is that?"

Seeing the slightly dazed look in Yao Lao's eyes, Chen Feng chuckled and said without explanation, "How was it? Old sir, wasn't my move alright? Although it didn't last long, only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it was at least enough for me to catch him."

Although some of the Taoist techniques in the Fox Spirit World are not very powerful, their effects are still quite potent.

With the power of the Eye of All Things, Chen Feng already knew that Yao Lao had a final attack. Knowing the plot well, he naturally knew that the friendship between the two was very deep, which is why he attacked Xiao Yan so fiercely, squeezing out all of Yao Lao's last counterattack power.

At the same time, he naturally held back some tricks when he made his move. As long as the distance was sufficient, white flames would emanate from wherever the Eye of All Things' gaze fell. Just in case, he did not go all out, but only left a very small flame as a marker.

Once activated, it will continue to emit light, and Xiao Yan's strength alone is insufficient to remove it.

Chen Feng waved his hand back, and his blue hand began to change, like a blue river, completely enveloping Yao Lao's soul, and then began to compress and shrink.

"Old sir, please bear with me for a moment. I will go and bring your disciple back first so that you can be reunited."

Before the old doctor could say anything, his soul had been completely compressed into a spherical object.

After carefully storing it away, Chen Feng unleashed a burst of white flames and sped towards Xiao Yan's location at an incredible speed.

At the same time, seeing Xiao Yan begin to radiate light, Yun Shan couldn't contain his joy and laughed heartily, quickly chasing after him.

"Young friend, you've got some skills. I'll lend you a hand. All the elders and deacons of the Yunlan Sect, listen to my command! Surround Xiao Yan and kill him!"

Upon hearing this, the experts of the Yunlan Sect immediately sprang into action. Several Dou Wang experts transformed their Dou Qi into wings and flew into the air, leading a group of skilled fighters to chase after Xiao Yan ahead.

Yun Yun's expression was complicated. In the end, she also spread her wings and followed her teacher, Yun Shan, after him.

Watching this scene, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh, having given up hope for the outcome.

"Sigh, it looks like Xiao Yan, this genius, is about to die. What a pity!"

"Yeah, they're doomed. So many people attacked, including a Dou Zong expert. What a pity. Two Dou Zong, one Dou Huang, plus several Dou Wang and more than a dozen Dou Ling. With this combination, destroying a country would be a piece of cake."

"I originally thought Xiao Yan was an extraordinary person, but I didn't expect him to die like this. It's a pity. I thought there was something special about him that made Medusa take action for him, but in the end, it was just that the Dou Zong expert who appeared was too strong."

…………

A moment later, behind the Yunlan Sect, in the deep, seemingly endless forest.

Xiao Yan fled at top speed, his eyes bloodshot, his body covered in scratches and blood vessels. He was exhausted, but he dared not stop. If he did, his opponent would catch up immediately.

Looking at the white flames emanating from his body, he smiled bitterly. These flames did not harm him, but they seemed to cling to his bones, constantly revealing his location.

If he calmed down and had some time, he could use his soul power as an alchemist to remove it, but there was no time for that now.

Behind him, the two powerful auras were clearly visible, and gradually, his physical strength was exhausted.

As they drew closer, an overwhelming sense of oppression grew stronger.

Finally, Xiao Yan stopped and leaned against a large tree, breathing heavily.

The next moment, two figures appeared one after the other.

It was Chen Feng and Yun Shan who had arrived.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was at his wit's end, Yun Shan's anger subsided somewhat, and he regained his composure, a trace of emotion rising in his eyes.

“Xiao Yan, I have to admit that your talent is absolutely top-notch. I know Yun Leng well. Sometimes he is not very thoughtful in his work, which can be described as hateful. But the reason I value him is his loyalty. You could say that even if he were to face death, he would not betray Yunlan Sect or my Yunshan.”

“He wouldn’t lie to me. His words are quite credible. I know that he didn’t arrest your father. Indeed, I admit that he was wrong and destroyed your Xiao family first, but he didn’t take anyone’s life. I’ve also promised to compensate you. I can say that I have a clear conscience. Why should he pay for this with his life?”

"Where is there any fairness in this world? If everything were based on reason and righteousness, what would be the use of all this cultivation? There would be no disputes in the world. As a Dou Zong powerhouse and the leader of the Yunlan Sect, I dare not say that my actions are those of a saint, but at least they are much better than most so-called righteous paths. At this point, I have nothing more to say. Today you must die."

Chen Feng glanced at Yunshan beside him, who had said such things, and was somewhat surprised. Yunshan's awareness was not bad.

No wonder netizens jokingly call him the most imposing Dou Zong powerhouse in anime...

Without any delay, Yunshan stepped forward, then, as if remembering something, turned to Chen Feng and said gently, "Young friend, I will kill this person. I don't want anything else. You can have the strange fire and the opportunity. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng nodded and said nothing more, only gesturing with his hand.

At any other time, he would definitely be the first to strike to prevent Yunshan from playing any tricks, but not now. The other party is the protagonist, and there is no guarantee that he will not make a desperate move to save his life.

Let Yunshan test the waters first...

Seeing that Chen Feng had agreed, Yun Shan no longer hesitated. He walked up to Xiao Yan, extended his hand, and gathered Dou Qi at his fingertips: "Goodbye, Xiao Yan. I will remember you as a genius."

Seeing this, Yun Yun, who was rushing over from a distance, showed a hint of panic on her face and quickly shouted, "Teacher, no!!"

Ignoring his disciple's words, Yunshan pressed his finger directly down onto Xiao Yan's forehead.

Feeling the immense pressure and the threat of death, Xiao Yan's body trembled, and the feeling between his brows was indescribable.

I'm going to die like this, Xun'er, I won't be able to see you anymore...

The next moment, Chen Feng, who was carefully observing the surrounding situation, couldn't help but change his expression and quickly took a few steps back.

Sizzle!! Bang!!

In an instant, space tore apart, and cracks appeared.

A middle-aged man dressed in simple, ancient-style robes slowly walked out from within...
