Breaking the Masked Man

With a soft whisper, a terrifying soul force surged out from Black Seal City, instantly sweeping away the old demon's oppressive aura. At the same time, Yao Yan also took to the air, with Cai Lin following closely beside him. The two calmly looked at the old demon.

The old demon's indifferent eyes flickered. He first glanced at Cai Lin beside Yao Yan, and after a moment, he looked at Yao Yan, snorted coldly, and questioned, "You are that seventh-grade alchemist? You dare to provoke me with your mere Dou Huang level strength? Do you think that you can contend with me by just inviting a Dou Zong expert?"

"How will you know if you can compete without trying?" Cai Lin's cold and beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of provocation, as she spoke coldly.

After her bloodline evolved, Cai Lin's current strength is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary Dou Zong. Therefore, even when facing a Seven-Star Dou Zong, she is quite confident that she can restrain him.

Yao Yan reached out and stopped the restless Cai Lin, saying with a wry smile, "Don't snatch him. He's a rival I carefully selected. I used up a lot of medicinal herbs to force him out."

Cai Lin frowned slightly, looked at Yao Yan, and parted her red lips slightly: "Are you sure?"

"Won't it become clear after watching for a while?"

Yao Yan responded with a smile.

The old demon, who had been listening to the conversation between the two from afar, now had a slightly ferocious expression on his face. He had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such an arrogant brat. Did he really think that he, the ancestor of the Seven Star Dou Zong, was made of mud? And he dared to pick on him like a dish?!

"You sharp-tongued brat! Once I catch you, I'll make you taste the most vicious punishment in the world, and make you regret provoking me!" The old demon was furious and laughed. He raised his hand and with a flick of his five fingers, five sharp battle qi emanating from his fingertips suddenly shot out, carrying a fierce wind, and shot straight at Yao Yan's head.

"Om~"

As a powerful surge of soul force swept over, the incoming battle qi was crushed by this soul force without harming Yao Yan in the slightest.

"Soul power?" The old demon's gaze narrowed slightly, then he sneered, "Boy, do you really think that the soul power of a seventh-grade alchemist can contend with a seven-star Dou Zong expert? I will show you just how big the gap really is!"

"I didn't expect you, an old man, to still be so quick-witted at your age." Yao Yan smiled, then moved his head and slowly stepped forward. His skin turned a deep silver color at a visible speed, and at the same time, a heavy and immortal aura emanated from him. The terrifying power even caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

"I hope your body will be as agile as your body!"

As the words fell, the space around Yao Yan suddenly exploded, and his figure, like a tyrannical dragon, burst out of the air and launched the first attack on the old demon.

"Heh heh, dare to get close to this old man? Your courage is commendable!" The old demon chuckled. How could he not see that Yao Yan's body was very strong? Perhaps he had cultivated some extremely powerful body-refining fighting technique. However, such fighting techniques were only good for fighting at the Dou Wang and Dou Huang stages. But at the Dou Zong level, body-refining fighting techniques were a joke.

As one's strength enters the late stage of Dou Zong, one's physical body will be strengthened by Dou Qi. The stronger one becomes, the greater the degree of strengthening will be. For an ancestor like him who is hundreds of years old, there is no need to refine his body. His physical strength will reach an unbelievable level, and ordinary weapons cannot harm him in the slightest.

Today, he will teach this brat a lesson and show him what a Dou Zong powerhouse is!

That's not something a mere Dou Huang-level kid can pull off!

He smiled coldly, showing no intention of backing down, nor was there any need to. If he were to yield to a mere Dou Huang-level kid, that would be a real joke. His five fingers, like ghostly claws, moved with ruthless intent towards Yao Yan's neck, completely ignoring the fist that came crashing down on him.

How much power can a mere Dou Huang have in his fist?

Do you really think that children playing house means fighting with the air of a warrior, that you have to be ruthless and that every move is meant to kill? That's what a true strongman should do.

"This kid wants to fight head-on?!" The Heavenly Fire Venerable below was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene. He had never seen Yao Yan in his full strength, so he didn't know the extent of his physical defense. In his opinion, this head-on confrontation was a bit too risky.

The old doctor had a strange expression, because he knew very well what level Yao Yan's physical body had reached, especially after being tempered by several different kinds of strange fire, it had become even more abnormal!

That old demon dared to be so arrogant!

The old demon was indeed arrogant, even conceited. He didn't even use his full strength when he attacked. Perhaps in his eyes, a 'little kid' like Yao Yan was not worth his full strength as the ancestor of Demon Flame Valley. He could easily crush him with a slight movement. He clenched his fist, and dense battle qi swirled around it, transforming it into a ghostly claw that fiercely grabbed at Yao Yan's neck, intending to crush him directly. As for the fist that was about to hit his chest, he simply ignored it.

How could the fist of a mere Dou Huang possibly shake a Seven-Star Dou Zong?

The ghostly claw, gleaming with a chilling black aura, instantly approached Yao Yan's neck, rapidly enlarging in his pupils. He showed no intention of dodging, and even a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Looking for death..." the old demon ghost thought to himself, and his ghost claws suddenly sped up, instantly slicing across Yao Yan's neck. But the expected tearing of flesh did not occur, and the touch felt as if it were not flesh. Accompanied by a burst of sparks, it only left a shallow white mark.

Upon seeing this, the old demon's pupils constricted sharply, sensing something was wrong. But before he could think further, Yao Yan's simple and unadorned fist slammed heavily into his chest.

"boom"

A muffled groan resounded, like a rumble of thunder in the dark clouds, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking.

"Pfft~"

He couldn't suppress the gushing blood, which surged into his mouth, causing a look of horror to flash in the eyes of the old demon.

This physical strength and power are comparable to some powerful seventh-tier magical beasts!

At this moment, the old demon demon no longer dared to act arrogantly and had no intention of holding back. The surging battle qi in his body instantly erupted, turning into a chilling aura that rushed towards Yao Yan. The terrifying coldness even seemed to freeze the surrounding space.

"Brush~"

Yao Yan retreated instantly, but even in that brief moment of contact, half of his arm was still covered by a layer of pitch-black ice crystals.

Strands of jet-black blood oozed from the corner of the Earth Demon Old Ghost's mouth, making his emaciated appearance even more ferocious. He swallowed the blood in his mouth, his voice chillingly cold: "Boy, I underestimated you. To possess such a physique at the Dou Huang level, it seems your body-refining fighting technique is no ordinary skill. However, that alone may not be enough to keep you alive. How does the Xuanbing cold energy that invaded your body feel?"

"It's not very tasty, just a shiver~" Yao Yan joked, then suddenly exerted force on his frozen arm, shattering all the black ice crystals. At the same time, his body was instantly covered by emerald green flames, and the so-called Xuanbing cold air was also dispelled in an instant.

"Strange fire?!" The smile that had just appeared on the old demon's lips suddenly froze. He stared intently at the emerald green flames swirling around him. The terrifying heat was far beyond what ordinary beast fire could compare to. Even the Xuanbing Cold Qi he cultivated seemed to have met its nemesis.

Yao Yan controlled the emerald green flames that swirled around his body until they were compressed into a thin film. He then looked at the old demon and grinned, "Correct answer, but unfortunately there's no reward. Come on, let's continue with the second round!"

The moment he finished speaking, a pair of purple wings suddenly unfurled behind him. These were the Purple Cloud Wings that he hadn't used in a long time. They overlapped with the Battle Qi Wings, increasing his speed. Then, he stomped his feet hard, and the terrifying power caused the space to ripple.

"Brush~"

With a sharp whooshing sound, Yao Yan charged towards the old demon once again.

"Humph!"

The old demon looked at Yao Yan rushing towards him, snorted coldly, and then flicked his ten fingers. Countless black ice spikes appeared out of his fingertips and then shot towards Yao Yan in a massive burst, covering a large part of the sky.

The sharp sound of wind breaking through the air sent chills down my spine.

In response, Yao Yan neither dodged nor retreated. Relying on his strong physical body, he allowed these attacks to rain down on him. The coldness carried by them was instantly evaporated by the fused strange fire. The only thing that bothered him was the power contained within them.

The ice spikes, powerful enough to kill an ordinary Dou Huang, continued to fall, directly thwarting Yao Yan's attempt to charge.

At the same time, the number of ice spikes rushing down is increasing, seemingly without end.

The icy mist generated by the intertwining with the strange fire gradually froze under the ever-swept chill, and at the same time, the old demon's voice rang out again: "I'd like to see how long your physical body can hold out."

"Bing Ning Sword Art!"

Looking at the medicine shrouded in white mist, the old demon sneered, his withered hands suddenly forming a hand seal, and he shouted sharply.

The surrounding cold mist instantly merged with the falling ice cones, transforming into several pitch-black ice swords, each about ten feet wide. As the ice swords took shape, a chilling aura burst forth, and then shot towards Yao Yan's body.

Yao Yan's body trembled with emerald green flames as he punched the incoming black ice sword. The terrifying power shook the space and crushed it instantly.

In this regard.

The old demon revealed a cruel smile instead: "Explode!"

"boom!"

With several loud bangs, Yao Yan's body was ejected, and countless fine ice needles instantly covered his entire body, piercing his skin and penetrating his body. The cold air contained within them also surged into his body, causing his deep silver skin to turn slightly black.

"The strange fire is indeed very powerful, and it can even suppress my Xuanbing cold energy, but your strength is too weak. How can you withstand my attack?" The old demon sneered.

"That's a really good move."

Yao Yan licked his lips, his fighting spirit growing even stronger. As expected of a Seven Star Dou Zong, he had a way to break through Yao Yan's Vajra Indestructible Body with just a slight move. Although it was only a breach in defense and he was not seriously injured, it was enough to show how powerful Yao Yan was.

And such an opponent is exactly what he needs right now.

"Old man, you take my move too!" A terrifying sea of ​​emerald green fire erupted around him, forcibly pushing back the surrounding cold mist slightly. At the same time, the flames quickly converged towards his palms, transforming into a miniature energy seal.

"Eight Desolate Heaven-Burning Seal!" (End of Chapter)

Chapter 186. The Four-Colored Fire Lotus

186.

With a soft shout echoing from the dark, frigid air, a sea of ​​emerald green fire surged forth, forcing back all the surrounding cold mist and revealing Yao Yan's body. His eyes were surrounded by emerald green flames, and between his palms, a miniature handprint radiating a terrifying aura of energy condensed. As it took shape, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) trembled, and the ferocious smile on the old demon's lips froze.

The energy fluctuations contained within that handprint were enough to pose a slight threat to him.

But by now it's obviously too late.

Almost simultaneously with the resounding sound, the emerald green seal in Yao Yan's palm slammed towards the old demon. As it flew out, the miniature seal instantly grew larger, transforming in the blink of an eye into a massive seal large enough to cover the entire Black Seal City, suppressing the old demon with terrifying power that seemed to suppress the entire world.

"A mere four-star Dou Huang can actually unleash such a Dou Technique? I estimate that many peak Dou Huangs are far inferior to you. But to think you can kill me with this, boy, you're dreaming!" The old demon sneered, then stretched out an arm. Dense and terrifyingly cold black energy instantly surged from his body, transforming into a sky-supporting hand that forcefully stopped the massive seal that was crashing down.

The point where the two made contact instantly emitted a hissing sound. The two extreme energies eroded and collided with each other, causing the surrounding space to tremble and distort.

"rise!"

The old demon roared and then actually managed to drag the huge seal that was crashing down back up.

At this moment, his terrifying strength as a Seven-Star Dou Zong was unmistakably revealed.

Even when facing Yao Yan's full-force Earth-rank fighting technique, he could easily receive it without fear. He was not afraid of such an attack that could easily injure a peak Dou Huang expert, and he could even push Yao Yan's attack back.

"Kid, you've run out of tricks, haven't you!" The old demon sneered, about to make a few sarcastic remarks, when he suddenly sensed the energy within the seal fluctuating rapidly. His expression changed, and a surge of cold energy erupted from his body, instantly sealing off the surrounding space.

"boom!"

Almost the instant the old demon of the earth prepared his defenses, the massive energy seal shrank slightly before exploding violently.

A blinding emerald light suddenly burst forth, shining like the sun in the sky, instantly suppressing the icy ghost hand unleashed by the old demon. The next moment, a deafening energy explosion resounded across the sky like thunder from the heavens!

In that instant, everyone's head was buzzing. Some of those who were weaker felt dizzy and unable to hold on. After they finally recovered, a mushroom cloud of energy appeared in the sky, covering half of the sky and directly engulfing Yao Yan and the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

The powerful figures from Cailin and Demon Flame Valley were forced back several miles by this attack.

At this moment, Cai Lin couldn't help but clench her fists, a look of worry appearing in her cold and beautiful eyes. She bit her red lips and muttered under her breath, "Damn it, he always acts so recklessly... You better be alright, or I will never let you off the hook!"

The Heavenly Fire Venerable and the Medicine Elder below remained calm. Both of them were powerful Dou Zun level experts with excellent eyesight, so they could naturally perceive the state of the two people in this attack. With this attack, it was possible to injure the two, but it was undoubtedly impossible to kill them.

Yao Yan naturally relied on his powerful physical body and the protection of various strange flames within his body.

As for the old demon...
