Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 193 Xiao Yan: This is bad, my life is over!

Golden sand waves stretch to the horizon.

As the sun rises, its brilliance shines in all directions.

On the edge of the Tagor Desert, where the green and yellow hues meet, two figures, one large and one small, are watching this scene unfold before them.

"The Tagor Desert, we've finally arrived!"

Looking at this familiar scene, Xiao Bai felt as if it were yesterday everything that had happened here two years ago.

"Yes! We've finally arrived!"

A clear, youthful voice rang out beside me.

Xiao Bai's lips twitched when he heard the voice. He glanced at the small figure beside him.

A little dragon boy was imitating him, standing with his hands behind his back, and making a wise and mature remark, like a little adult.

Feeling utterly speechless, he said irritably:

"You've never been here before, what are you saying!"

"Hehehe"

Little Dragon Girl Zi Yan instantly lost her composure, made a face at Xiao Bai, stretched lazily, and said:

"I'm happy! The old man finally allowed me to come out and play, and I don't have to stay in that boring inner courtyard anymore!"

"If the Grand Elder doesn't give in soon, you might pluck all his beard out!"

Thinking of the old elder's aged face and the expression of utter despair, he couldn't help but shake his head.

This isn't just picking up a granddaughter, it's practically picking up an ancestor!

After receiving the news that he was alright, Su Qian made a special trip to Zixiao City, and Zi Yan went with her.

Upon learning that Xiao Bai was going back to the Jia Ma Empire, Zi Yan became extremely interested and kept asking him if the Jia Ma Empire was fun.

Looking into those clear, big eyes, and remembering the girl's background—that she was either in the mountains or confined to the inner courtyard—I couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness.

So I picked out some interesting things and told them to her.

Seeing the longing in her eyes, he jokingly asked her if she would like to go with him.

Unexpectedly, the girl's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded her head so fast it was almost blurry, carefully confirming that Xiao Bai could really take her with him.

With a cheer, he turned to Su Qian and began to coax and plead with her.

Su Qian was unable to resist her pestering. Considering Xiao Bai's strength, she felt reassured about traveling with him to the Jia Ma Empire, so she agreed.

"Xiao Bai, which way are we going?"

Zi Yan was very lively throughout the journey and was curious about everything. Looking at the endless desert in front of her, she asked excitedly.

"When it's time to refine pills, it's all about Brother Xiao; when it's not needed, it's all about Xiao Bai. What an ungrateful little devil!"

"Oh, don't worry about the details! Let's go, let's go!"

"Hehe. Next time I make pills, I'll add some bitter lotus seeds to them!"

"You dare!"

The two figures gradually disappeared into the desert, their voices gradually being swallowed up by the wind and sand, becoming barely audible.

In the Tagor Desert, a figure dressed in black stands on a sand dune.

His lips were slightly chapped, and he seemed oblivious to the blazing sun overhead, speaking with a solemn expression:

"Teacher, I'm ready. Let's begin the final attempt!"

"Alas," the old medicine master sighed, and said:

"Little one, have you thought this through? The explosive power of fusing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Purple Flame before—if I hadn't protected you, you'd be lying there right now!"

"Teacher, the three-year agreement is almost up!"

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed. Thinking of the person his teacher had been so wary of at the Mo family in Yancheng, he gritted his teeth and said:

"This time when I go to the Yunlan Sect, I need to prepare some trump cards. If something unexpected happens, I can't just watch you and Brother Bai protect me while I can only watch helplessly from behind!"

"good!"

Looking at the persistent, even somewhat obsessive, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao nodded in satisfaction. Cultivation requires this kind of courage to face difficulties; otherwise, if you're afraid of this and that, what's the point of cultivation?

Moreover, he has never minded Xiao Yan using his power to deal with powerful enemies.

But he would prefer to see his disciple have this idea of ​​taking the position himself.

"As your teacher, I am also quite looking forward to seeing just how much of a commotion the fusion of these two different flames will cause!"

The old doctor's voice also began to become solemn.

Each individual strange fire possesses terrifying power, let alone two combined together.

Even with his countless years of experience, he had no idea what would happen in this situation.

"I will do my best to help you control the Bone Spirit Cold Flame later, otherwise, with your current strength, it will be impossible for you to fuse with a different flame!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan licked his chapped lips, feeling slightly nervous.

Thinking about the power of that strange fire combined with beast fire still makes me a little scared.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Xiao Yan stretched out his hands and placed them flat in front of him.

With a thought, azure flames surged forth from his left hand, their intense heat causing the air to distort.

His right hand tightened slightly, and then a wisp of eerie white flame appeared out of thin air, releasing a powerful energy amidst the interplay of hot and cold.

"here we go!"

Xiao Yan looked at the two balls of flame of different colors in his hands, gritted his teeth, and slowly brought his hands together.

"Human! Are you insane?"

The sudden sound made Xiao Yan, who was already tense, tremble and almost throw the flame away in fright.

"Hehe, Commander Yue Mei, you've come at the perfect time! I'll treat you to the fireworks later!"

Xiao Yan sneered, his teeth itching with hatred for this elusive woman.

"Who would watch your fireworks!"

Yue Mei looked at the flame in his hand, a strong sense of dread flashing in her eyes.

At first, the noise he made was at most at the level of a Battle Master or a Grand Battle Master, so he didn't pay much attention to it, just thought it was a bit noisy. But in the past few days, the noise has become louder and louder.

Even the previous explosion was only sensed remotely from a distance.

The energy fluctuations it emitted made her heart palpitate.

With that kind of power, even a Battle King would likely be severely injured and on the verge of death if he were caught in it.

I never expected that this little human warrior could cause such a commotion!

"boom!"

The moment the flames touched the ground, a sound like muffled thunder emanated from Xiao Yan's hands. In an instant, his hands were ripped open by the destructive energy.

If it weren't for the protection of battle qi, his palms would probably have been sent flying.

"madman!"

Seeing this scene, Yue Mei felt the terrifying energy emanating from it, and a strong sense of crisis arose within her. She couldn't help but curse and turn to leave.

"hey-hey."

Xiao Yan caught a glimpse of the rapidly disappearing figure out of the corner of his eye, and a crazy smile crept onto his lips.

Ignoring the blood that spilled out and the hands that were instantly burned to nothingness, they desperately clasped together, compressing the blue and white flames.

"If successful, it will be a unique fighting technique created by me, Xiao Yan, one of a kind in the world, with no other like it!"

Xiao Yan's hands trembled as he stared intently at the intertwined two-colored flames, muttering to himself.

A moment later, ignoring the excruciating pain from the backlash of the strange fire, Xiao Yan fully activated the Burning Technique, constantly recalling the experience of the past few days of fusion in his mind.

"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!"

Watching the two flames intertwined, no matter how much they were compressed, the two flames refused to continue to merge.

Xiao Yan felt he had reached a critical point, and for a moment he was at a loss and a little anxious.

At this moment, Zi Yan was also very anxious.

"Splat!"

A small boot stomped hard on a scorpion hiding under the sand, ready to ambush it. The boot stomped its foot in disgust and walked listlessly through the desert.

"Xiao Bai, how much further do we have to go?"

After the initial novelty wore off, she grew somewhat weary of the vast desert.

There's nothing here. The only things you can see are the blazing sun in the sky, the yellow sand covering the ground, and some annoying little monsters.

"I said I'd fly there, but didn't you say you wanted to walk around and see what it was like?"

Xiao Bai glanced at the big hole the girl had created by stomping her foot and teased her.

"They didn't know there was nothing in this desert! They thought there was some treasure to find!"

Please... add to your favorites (69 Bookstore!)

"Honey, if there were really such a treasure, you wouldn't be the one getting it!"

"You underestimate me, don't you? I have a very keen sense of smell; I can tell if there's any treasure around just by smelling it!"

Speaking of this, Zi Yan seemed quite proud. She gave a thumbs up, rubbed her pretty nose, and looked up as she spoke.

"Really? I don't believe it!" Xiao Bai couldn't help but laugh at her adorable appearance.

"Hmph! Just you wait, once I find the real treasure, you won't be so envious!" Zi Yan's little nose twitched slightly.

"Hey, hey, is this what you call finding treasure?"

Xiao Bai watched, both amused and exasperated, as the girl sniffed around and almost crawled into his sleeve, the place where the little golden dragon stayed.

"Hehe, my mistake!" Zi Yan glanced at the golden light emanating from his sleeve, quickly took a few steps back, and chuckled sheepishly, "But it does smell quite nice!"

"Wow! Such rich energy!" Zi Yan seemed to have caught a whiff of something and pointed in a direction, shouting, "Over there!"

"There might really be treasure over there! Xiao Bai, quick, let's go check it out!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

He had sensed the energy fluctuations over there long ago, and the aura was quite familiar. However, it was in a different direction from the Snake-People's Royal City, so he hesitated about whether to go.

"Come on! Let's go take a look!" Seeing his hesitation, Zi Yan thought he didn't believe in her abilities, so she tugged at Xiao Bai's sleeve and said sweetly.

"Okay!" Xiao Bai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Let's go!" Seeing him nod in agreement, Zi Yan smiled brightly and darted off in that direction.

It's a place several dozen miles away from here.

Xiao Yan's hands moved nimbly, like butterflies flitting among flowers, rapidly tapping within the ball of flames in front of him.

The internal energy of the Burning Technique, like a dam bursting, poured into the flames with the flick of his fingers.

As time passed, the raging two-colored flames began to calm down, no longer wreaking havoc with energy as before.

A palm-sized, pale blue lotus pedestal gradually materialized.

The instant it took shape, Xiao Yan felt his fighting spirit and soul power surge wildly into it, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Little Yanzi, quickly throw it out!" Yao Lao's slightly weak voice rang out, interrupting Xiao Yan who was in a daze, his voice carrying an unprecedented urgency:

"Run! Run! Run as far as you can!"

Upon hearing Yao Lao's voice, Xiao Yan didn't think twice. As if by reflex, he casually threw the spinning fire lotus in front of him in one direction and then sped off in the opposite direction.

"What is it? A big treasure?"

As he ran, Xiao Yan realized that he must have overexerted his soul power and was actually hallucinating. Following the sound of the wind, he seemed to hear a childish and clear voice.

"You big darling, let's go!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly shook his dizzy head. He felt like he was hallucinating again, as if he heard Brother Bai's voice.

"Damn it, Little Yanzi, you just wait! You dared to throw a fire lotus at your Brother Bai's head!"

Xiao Yan was immediately jolted, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Oh no! It really is Brother Bai!

"Teacher, why didn't you remind me?" Xiao Yan said, turning around anxiously.

The two-colored flame lotus throne silently streaked across the void, without even stirring up a gust of wind.

In front of the fire lotus, a figure in black robes, with faint multicolored light surging beneath his feet, was carrying a little girl and was rapidly departing.

"My soul power was used to control the flames for you, which consumed too much energy. In addition, all my energy was focused on the fire lotus, so I didn't notice that brat Xiao Bai was nearby!"

"Quickly think of a way, teacher!" Xiao Yan said, his heart pounding as he looked at the fiery lotus that was beginning to stir.

"It's alright! Although that thing is powerful, it can't kill that kid!" The old doctor said calmly, looking at the figure with a hint of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

"That's good, that's good!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in his eyes lessened slightly.

"Alright?" Old Yao chuckled mockingly, "Little Yanzi, get ready to get a beating!"

"Why did you have to throw it at Xiao Bai's head? Of all places, you could have thrown it in that direction!"

"I...I..." Xiao Yan was speechless for a moment, his face full of bitterness. At that time, his head was dizzy and he didn't even notice that there were other people here besides that woman.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a huge [something] float up above my head.

Dangerous!

Just then, a deafening explosion rang out in the vast desert.

"boom!"

In an instant, a bluish-white mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Destructive energy emanated from the void, creating ripples in the air that spread rapidly like ocean waves.

The yellow sand raged, and the surrounding sand dunes were flattened by the spreading energy.

In the distance, Yue Mei was thrown more than ten meters away by the energy ripples of the explosion. After regaining her footing, she coughed a few times in discomfort and looked towards the center of the explosion.

Her mouth gaped open in an "O" shape. She hadn't expected the explosion to be so powerful, with such an impact even from so far away.

Thinking of that figure being chased by the fire lotus, is he dead?

In the Serpent People's royal city, thousands of miles away, Queen Medusa, who was working at her desk, suddenly looked up, gazing into the void, towards a place beyond her sight.

"This fluctuation... a strange fire? How can it be so intense?"

"Is the direction of the Moonlit Tribe towards that old man?"

A wave of blue-white flames swept across the area, filling the air with dust and sand. Xiao Yan disregarded the scorching heat around him and rushed over.

"Cough cough."

Xiao Bai coughed twice, his body trembled, he shook off the yellow sand on his body, then put Zi Yan down from his arms and looked her up and down for a moment.

At this moment, Zi Yan's face was slightly pale, and a complex look flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Bai.

"You were scared, weren't you!"

Xiao Bai rubbed her head. This girl had been running ahead, and he had been following behind at a leisurely pace. Who knew that Xiao Yan's fire lotus would suddenly take shape and be thrown straight at the two of them.

"Brother Bai, are you alright?" Xiao Yan rushed in, his face pale and his expression anxious as he asked.

"Damn it!" Zi Yan was furious when she saw the person who came. She stomped her foot and shot out like a cannonball.

Xiao Yan initially didn't pay much attention to the little girl, but as he watched the fist getting closer and closer, and felt the sharp wind it carried, his spiritual senses pounded, and he instantly felt his soul tremble.

Oh no! My life is over!
