Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 85 The Old Man of Medicine Awakens: Little Yanzi, don't panic, your master will take you to find the Strange Flame!

Northwest Continent.

On a dirt road a hundred miles away from the capital of Gama, a young man dressed in black and carrying a huge black ruler walked alone.

The boy's eyes were calm, his clothes smelled faintly of blood, and there were sword marks of various sizes on the exposed skin.

This young man was Xiao Yan, who had already fought with Nalan Yanran during the day.

Nalan Yanran's attacks were fierce, and ordinary pills were not very effective in healing her. Xiao Yan didn't care at the moment. He just wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt very calm.

This time, Xiao Yan did not meet Hai Bodong as in the original story. Medusa Queen was left with no one to protect him, and Yun Yun did not miss the duel as in the original story.

Therefore, after Xiao Yan went up the mountain, he was wary of some things and did not become too arrogant. His words were not as intense as in the original work.

During the day, on the magnificent square of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran wore a moon-white robe, her youthful naiveté gone.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan, whom she hadn't seen for three years, Nalan Yanran slightly raised her chin, her eyes haughty, and her delicate face carrying a hint of coldness.

The longsword was drawn, its tip pointing directly at Xiao Yan.

"Nalan Yanran, the three-year period has come to an end. Today, let us settle these three years of grievances with this duel..."

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice. After saying this, he slowly drew out the huge black ruler with a handle from behind him.

Their bodies were tense; a battle was about to break out.

Over the course of three years, both men, being exceptionally talented individuals within the Gama Empire, made significant progress.

"Hopefully this farce will end soon!"

On the high platform, Yun Yun lowered her eyes and looked at Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran who were dueling, and sighed in her heart.

Yun Yun felt somewhat guilty towards the Xiao family for what happened back then, since Nalan Yanran's actions were somewhat radical.

If the two sides could have discussed things privately, perhaps none of this would have happened.

The air in the square was silent for a moment. Xiao Yan's fingertips trembled and his figure flashed quickly. In no time, he rushed to Nalan Yanran's side.

She snorted coldly, flicked her wrist, and the longsword skillfully blocked the two of them.

The battle aura fluctuated violently, and dazzling light occasionally burst forth from the center of the battle.

Yun Yun watched quietly.

Although Xiao Yan's attacks were exceptionally fierce, with each move seemingly a life-or-death struggle, Yun Yun was not worried about Nalan Yanran.

This three-year agreement is also a great opportunity for Yanran to put it into practice.

Whether she wins or loses, it will greatly improve her mindset and ability.

With her there, even if Yanran loses the competition, she will be fine. Yunyun was confident that she could save Yanran from a boy who was not even twenty years old.

"She actually reached the Great Dou Master level?"

On Xiao Yan's side, because Yao Lao had fallen into a deep sleep beforehand, he had not learned any Earth-rank fighting techniques, nor had he refined the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Therefore, his cultivation level did not break through to the Great Dou Master. At first, he did suppress Nalan Yanran with his skilled combat techniques honed in the Monster Mountain Range.

However, as Nalan Yanran displayed her Great Dou Master cultivation and used some of the secret fighting techniques of the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Yan immediately fell into a disadvantageous position and was forced to retreat step by step.

"Xiao Yan, you've lost!"

Her figure hovered briefly in mid-air, and Nalan Yanran spoke from her high position.

She was confident that she could end the duel completely and defeat Xiao Yan within a few moves.

"Looks like we have no choice but to use that!"

Xiao Yan frowned, his eyes filled with complex thoughts, as if he were making a decision.

The next second, the Xuanzhong Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand suddenly glowed with a layer of gold.

The intense heat emanating from it was clearly visible and felt by everyone in the square.

In their next clash, the flames melted away the battle qi attack unleashed by Nalan Yanran.

And it quickly broke through her defenses and got onto the longsword.

The flames burned extremely fast, their sacred gold color seeming to burn away everything in the world.

"How could that be?"

Nalan Yanran looked extremely surprised, and then immediately threw away the long sword in her hand.

"What kind of flame is this? It can actually burn away battle qi energy!"

On the high platform, Yun Yun was also very surprised when she saw the ball of golden flame.

She flashed and quickly appeared in front of Nalan Yanran, standing between the two of them.

"Yanran, I give up!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed in Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes: "Teacher!"

Yun Yun didn't turn around, and coldly said, "This strange fire is extremely powerful! If you insist on fighting, I'm afraid your chances of survival are slim..."

"I... admit defeat."

At her teacher's urging, Nalan Yanran lowered her head and whispered.

The next moment, Xiao Yan withdrew the golden flames he had released. He was covered in sword marks and blood, and he could barely stand by leaning on the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

That strange fire was actually a Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame given to me by Xun'er.

It was thanks to it that Xiao Yan was able to turn the tables and force Nalan Yanran to admit defeat.

Perhaps realizing that his victory was not honorable because he relied on external aids, Xiao Yan did not push his opponent too hard after the victory.

Furthermore, with Nalan Yanran's master Yun Yun present, Xiao Yan was not confident that he could threaten a Dou Huang with this Dao Zi Huo.

He laughed loudly, then turned and left without hesitation.

……

"Little Yanzi, it seems your cultivation has progressed quite well lately!"

As Xiao Yan walked, some events from the day flashed through his mind. Suddenly, a familiar, aged voice rang out.

Xiao Yan was taken aback, then realized that Yao Lao had woken up.

"Teacher, you're awake!"

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, his face beaming with smiles.

Next, Xiao Yan told Yao Lao, who had just woken up, about what had happened during this time. As for Nalan Yanran, he didn't really care anymore.

What Xiao Yan truly cared about was the incident in the Jia Ma Empire where Xun'er was taken away.

After hearing Xiao Yan's story, Yao Lao remained silent for a moment.

"Little Yanzi, you should focus on your cultivation first. Knowing things in advance won't do you any good..."

He let out a long sigh and said.

From Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao had already guessed something.

As the old man said, Gu Fei was probably around the same age as Xun'er when he reached the Dou Zun realm... Even before Yao Lao, no one had ever encountered such heaven-defying cultivation talent.

Even within his former medicine clan, such a prodigy was rarely seen.

"The Burning Technique offers the opportunity to change all of this. As long as you cultivate diligently, your future may not necessarily be worse than others!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's worried expression, Yao Lao said in a low voice.

He wasn't trying to comfort him, but rather to point out that the Burning Technique truly possessed strength beyond its rank.

"Teacher, you previously arranged for me to train in the Monster Mountain Range. Where are we going next?"

After a moment of contemplation, the old doctor suddenly remembered a place.

"Next, let's go to the Tagor Desert. In my memory, there's a good chance that strange fire exists there!"
