Breaking the Masked Man

The value of a Seven-Star Dou Zong is absolutely 99%. Even if the opponent is prepared, and the attack lands on him, he will at most be seriously injured, not even as fierce as Yao Yan's punch before.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the enormous energy mushroom cloud in the sky finally dissipated slowly... As it dissipated, a massive black energy shield appeared before everyone's eyes.

A massive black energy shield protected the old demon within, its surface covered with countless tiny vortexes that shattered all energy.

Clearly, the terrifying explosion did not harm the old demon in the slightest.

At this moment, the old demon's clothes were still neat, and even his hair was not disheveled. His pair of eyes, like will-o'-the-wisps, remained cold and icy. He stared at the figure slowly emerging from the energy in the distance, his indifferent tone carrying an undisguised sarcasm: "Well done. If I had been a little careless, I might have been injured. If this is your last trump card, then I will take your life today. And this Black Seal City, I will not leave a single person behind... I will let the entire Black Corner Region know that Demon Flame Valley is not someone that can be bullied!"

He certainly couldn't afford to offend those two old geezers from Canaan Academy, but a seventh-grade alchemist wasn't someone who could just sit on his head and shit on him!

As he finished speaking, the chill emanating from his body intensified, emitting a wailing sound like the wailing of a ghost.

"Brush~"

The next moment, the figure of the Earth Demon Old Ghost disappeared from its original position and rushed towards Yao Yan as if by teleportation. The intense killing intent was so strong that even the people standing at a distance could clearly feel it. Obviously, the Earth Demon Old Ghost was now completely serious and no longer had any intention of playing around.

However, to be treated with such solemnity by a seven-star Dou Zong, Yao Feng, a four-star Dou Huang, had every reason to be proud.

"You old devil, how dare you!" A cold, angry shout rang out from afar. Cai Lin rushed towards the old devil, clearly trying to stop him from getting close to Yao Yan again.

"Little girl, once I've dealt with him, I'll take care of you. No need to rush."

The old demon glanced coldly at Cai Lin, sneered, and then conjured a solid, pitch-black ghost hand with one hand, reaching out to pinch Yao Yan. With his full strength at this moment, even with Yao Yan's special body, it was enough to cause him some damage.

Although a tortoise shell is hard, it cannot withstand external attacks indefinitely. Once the threshold is exceeded, it will inevitably collapse.

A Seven-Star Dou Zong could wear down a Four-Star Dou Huang with enough Dou Qi.

It just so happens that his Heavenly Demon Puppet is still lacking a physical body, and the body of this kid in front of him is extremely suitable. In addition, the soul of this kid, who is a seventh-grade alchemist, is also excellent material, enough to make up for the losses of Demon Flame Valley in the past few days.

"Boy, come here!" A burning light flashed in the eyes of the old demon, who stared intently at the figure shrouded in energy mist, and clenched his ghostly claws down.

"Wow~"

The shockwave rippled and crushed the surrounding mist, revealing the figure in the process.

The old demon's pupils shrank, because the figure was actually just a phantom formed from flames. However, its appearance and aura were exactly the same as Yao Yan's, and even its soul fluctuations were extremely similar. At this moment, the other party was looking at him with a hint of amusement on its face.

"You cunning brat!"

The old demon roared and crushed the figure, just as he was about to continue his pursuit of Yao Yan.

The next moment, an indescribable sense of crisis came from his side, causing him to instinctively control his ghost claws to swing out towards the space beside him. As the terrifying cold air rose, even the energy mist that had not yet completely dissipated was frozen and turned into ice crystals that fell down.

"Here you go~" The light, emotionless voice rang out as a four-colored fire lotus tore through space, its jet-black trajectory carrying it toward the old demon.

It appeared to float, but in reality, its speed was extremely fast. The black trail that appeared along the way was actually a spatial rift that had been torn open, ferocious and terrifying. However, the four-colored fire lotus was extremely beautiful, so perfect that it did not seem like a fighting technique. But the destructive power contained within it made the old demon's expression change drastically.

He watched the figure rushing away, his face filled with shock and disbelief. How could the other party possibly unleash such a terrifying fighting technique?

Even he felt a deadly threat from that destructive power.

Even if he wanted to run, it was too late, because he had been locked onto by the fire lotus. The surrounding space began to become chaotic and distorted because of the appearance of the fire lotus, and wisps of cracks spread outward from the fire lotus as the center.

At this moment, Venerable Tianhuo, who was watching the show below, also showed surprise, as did Elder Yao.

"...This kid may have created a combat technique whose level is difficult to measure." Yao Lao muttered to himself. He had witnessed Yao Yan using the Fire Lotus combat technique before, but the last time was far less shocking than this time. The Fire Lotus, which gathered four different kinds of flames, had emitted a destructive power that was extremely terrifying.

According to his estimation, even some high-level Earth-rank offensive combat techniques cannot compare to it; perhaps only Heaven-rank techniques can contend with it.

But these are only four kinds of strange fire. If this kid were to obtain one or two more in the future... the scene would probably be exceptionally beautiful.

Don't forget, Yao Yan is only at the Dou Huang level now.

The power of this fire lotus will inevitably increase with Yao Yan's strength. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the power of this fire lotus fighting technique will be after he breaks through to the Dou Zun level.

Venerable Tianhuo was filled with excitement. He thought of the Five-Round Fire Technique he had created. Perhaps in the near future, Yao Yan would be able to use it against his enemies, and that scene would probably be extremely exciting.

Su Qian, who had come to watch the battle from afar, looked astonished. Seeing the fire lotus formed from four different types of strange fire, he muttered to himself, "This kid has two more strange fires? When did strange fire become so cheap…?"

The thought that if this kid hadn't given that fallen Heart Flame embryo to Canaan Academy, Yao Yan might now possess five different flames.

Thinking about this, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The rest of the onlookers were speechless with shock, but the one suffering the most was definitely the old demon, who was facing the four-colored fire lotus and could feel the destructive power contained within it more than anyone else. It was so powerful that even he, a seven-star Dou Zong, felt the breath of death.

will die!

If we can't stop them, we'll really die!

The old demon's Adam's apple bobbed, his hair stood on end, and his pupils were fixed on the four-colored fire lotus that was 'floating' towards him. At this moment, he desperately wanted to admit defeat to Yao Yan. As a seven-star Dou Zong powerhouse, he was quite pragmatic. In the face of such an attack, admitting defeat was definitely not a shameful thing.

Unfortunately, Yao Yan didn't give him a chance at all; he just gave him a greeting and threw it over.

What a fuck!

The old demon dared not hesitate for a moment. He took a deep breath, and his face suddenly turned red. Then, a hissing sound came from his body. Countless streams of black cold air shot out from the pores on the surface of his body.

Clearly, the old demon was now fighting desperately.

The black, chilling aura was faintly tinged with crimson, and it was this faint crimson that made the black aura even more sinister.

"Blood-cold extreme cold!"

A sinister shout came hoarsely from the mouth of the old demon, and as the shout fell, the dark cold air expanded rapidly, transforming into a huge black cold cloud that was more than ten feet long in the blink of an eye, completely concealing the old demon's figure.

As soon as the cold clouds appeared, the temperature of the space where the Earth Demon Old Ghost was located suddenly became icy cold. Ice flowers even began to fall from the sky, covering the entire Black Seal City. Anyone who came into contact with it could even feel their fighting spirit freezing.

This shows the level of skill that the old demon demon used. If someone were weaker, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand these ice flowers.

at the same time.

The four-colored fire lotus also drifted in.

The magnificent and profound four-colored fire lotus looked extremely beautiful. It lightly touched the blood mist condensed by the old demon. In just an instant, much of the blood mist collapsed, and then the small and exquisite fire lotus was completely swallowed up by the blood mist.

The world fell silent, and everyone looked up at the cold mist in the sky, awaiting the outcome.

That eerie calm lasted only a few breaths.

Everyone was holding their breath.

next moment.

The once quiet crimson clouds suddenly trembled violently. Deep, resonant sounds seemed to echo from the depths of everyone's souls, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat. An unusual and terrifying pressure made everyone's bodies tremble involuntarily, as if they were facing the might of heaven and earth.

"Kaka~"

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the crimson mist condensed by the Seven Star Dou Zong was instantly shattered. It was utterly powerless against the four-colored fire lotus. The colorful flames began to roll and expand, accompanied by a destructive power capable of annihilating everything, and then exploded with a roar.

A massive, multicolored wave of fire, hundreds of feet long, swept across the entire sky. Those Demon Flame Valley experts who were slow to escape were instantly reduced to nothingness upon being touched, leaving not even a trace of ashes. The so-called Battle Emperors couldn't even withstand the aftershocks.

At that moment, Yao Yan also came to Cai Lin's side. Under the other's concerned gaze, she reached out and covered her ears, laughing, "Watch quietly, it's just beginning, it should be very pretty~"

After speaking, he turned to look at the rising flames, his eyes filled with anticipation. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 187: A Difficult Choice

187.

Yao Yan himself wasn't quite sure just how destructive the Four-Colored Fire Lotus was. According to the original description, even a Dou Zun-level expert would find it difficult to withstand its destructive power, let alone a Dou Zong. In terms of level classification alone, the Destruction Fire Lotus was undoubtedly overpowered. Even if it wasn't as good as a Heaven-rank Dou Technique, it probably wasn't far off.

After all, the Five-Wheel Fire Technique, which gathers five different kinds of fire, is already capable of directly confronting Heaven-Rank combat techniques!

At this moment, Cai Lin disregarded Yao Yan's rude behavior. Her eyes were drawn to the violently trembling cold clouds in the distance. The defensive fighting technique, which a Seven-Star Dou Zong had desperately condensed, was now like a tattered sieve, with a large amount of dazzling flames shooting out from it, tearing it apart. At the same time, the energy within it was also violently fluctuating. Ice and fire are two opposing energies, and now they seemed to have reached their limit...

"Boom~"

The very space seemed to tremble as a pillar of light, obscuring the sky, shot into the heavens. Even from hundreds of miles away, it was still clearly visible. The terrifying destructive power tore apart the surrounding space, leaving behind countless grotesque spatial cracks.

The terrifying destructive energy caused even a Dou Zong expert to turn pale and reveal fear in their eyes.

Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates, swallowed hard, his mouth dry. He felt a mixture of awe and relief. If that attack had landed in Black Seal City, the city and the surrounding area for nearly a hundred miles would probably have been reduced to ruins.

The center of this beam of light is expanding rapidly at a visible speed, suggesting that the energy accumulated within it has not yet been fully released.

This scene caused countless onlookers to flee into the distance. Even powerful Dou Huangs did not hesitate. If they were caught in the aftershocks of this attack, they would have no chance of survival.

“It’s out of control…” Yao Yan’s eyes flickered slightly, and his hand dropped from where Cai Lin’s ear was. Looking at the rapidly expanding pillar of light, he understood that the energy within it was about to erupt again. He seemed to have underestimated the power of the Four-Colored Fire Lotus. This kind of super-powerful fighting skill, which was enough to rival the Heaven-Rank Fighting Skill, was not something he could fully control at the moment. If he did not control it and let it erupt, the Black Seal City below would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

Cai Lin seemed to sense Yao Yan's thoughts, reached out and grabbed his arm, her cold and beautiful eyes filled with a hint of fierceness, and her red lips parted slightly: "What are you going to do!"

"It's about to get out of control. Try to control it a little and shift the point of explosion."

Yao Yan said lightly.

"...Are you sure you can do it?" Cai Lin frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice. The rapidly expanding pillar of light in front of her showed no signs of weakening in its destructive power. The spatial rifts that permeated the surrounding area alone were enough to make most Dou Zong fearful.

Although Dou Zong can control the power of space, it doesn't mean they can withstand its devastation. Even some high-level Dou Zong could be cut in half if they were affected by these spatial rifts. The power of space doesn't play games with you; it's extremely domineering, and only Dou Zun-level experts can perfectly control it.

"I'm fairly confident. If things don't go well, I'll run away." Yao Yan explained, giving Cai Lin a reassuring look. He then used a little force to pull his arm out of Cai Lin's hand. He then formed a hand seal, and the soul power between his brows transformed into a giant hand that covered the energy beam. At the same time, his fighting spirit began to surge within his body.

If this massive amount of fire-attribute energy were transformed into the Eight Desolate Burning Heaven Seal, it would likely elevate this low-level Earth-rank combat skill by several grades.

Unfortunately, Yao Yan's current strength is not enough to do that.

It's like a child playing with a big knife; you can't wield it like an arm, you can only make it move a little, but that's enough!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yao Yan's figure, glowing with emerald green flames, appeared in front of the pillar of light. As he formed hand seals, the rapidly expanding pillar of fire in front of him was abruptly halted.

"Condense!" Yao Yan uttered softly, and as a few blood vessels appeared in his eyes, the destructive energy within the pillar of light began to compress, and then suddenly shot out in one direction.

From someone else's perspective, the pillar of light shooting into the sky in the distance seemed to have bent...

"When should we make our move? This kid won't last much longer," Venerable Tianhuo said solemnly. He could sense the weakening of Yao Yan's soul power. The four-colored fire lotus had greatly depleted Yao Yan's strength, and now they were forcibly suppressing its eruption and even redirecting its eruption location. The burden on his soul power was undoubtedly enormous.
