The Strange Flame Rekindles in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 102 Capturing Yao Ye Alive

Although Liang Ye couldn't help but sigh at the thought that such a heroic figure would live like a dog from now on, from this day forward, Xiao Yan would have no dignity left.

Mu Lu and his lieutenant approached Xiao Yan. They were shocked to see Xiao Yan, who had previously been a formidable force, striking fear into their hearts, now with empty eyes, devoid of fighting spirit, his gaze fixed solely on the wine jug in Yao Ye's hand.

"I see!" Muru sighed deeply.

Muru finally understood why Princess Yaoye had sent so many cavalrymen to their deaths. It was all because of the wine in Ye's hand; such mind-controlling items were all too common among their powerful families.

Yao Ye looked at Xiao Yan as he approached, shook the wine in his hand again, and said with a smile, "If you behave yourself, you can have as much of this as you want!"

"Okay! Okay! I will definitely be obedient, as long as you give me some wine!" Xiao Yan's eyes never left the wine jug in Yao Ye's hand.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was finally starting to relent, Yao Ye's smile widened.

Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan slowly reached for the wine jug in Yao Ye's hand. Just when everyone thought Xiao Yan was about to pick up the wine jug and drink, Xiao Yan suddenly changed his target, grabbed Yao Ye's neck with his left hand, and dodged behind Yao Ye in a flash.

At this moment, Yao Ye had no time to react and was immediately grabbed by the neck by Xiao Yan.

This happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.

"Release the princess!" The people around shouted angrily when they saw Princess Yaoye being held hostage by Xiao Yan.

Upon seeing Princess Yaoye being grabbed by the neck by Xiao Yan, Liang Ye's fighting spirit suddenly erupted, and with just his aura, he forced Xiao Yan back several steps, shouting loudly.

"Get back! Anyone who dares to lay a hand on her, I'll snap her neck. I doubt her neck is harder than steel!" Xiao Yan roared. He immediately tightened his grip on Yao Ye's neck, and Yao Ye's face flushed red instantly; she was about to be decapitated.

"Stop! We'll let you go as long as you release the princess!" Liang Ye was so frightened by Xiao Yan's willingness to kill that he immediately withdrew his fighting spirit and hurriedly said.

"You... how come you're alright? You drank..." Yao Ye's words were somewhat incoherent as Xiao Yan grabbed her by the neck.

"You drank those addictive drinks, didn't you?" Xiao Yan sneered.

"I watched Empresses in the Palace countless times before I transmigrated! These little tricks are nothing in this drama!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.

The poisoning methods in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are endless; there's nothing they can't do, only things you can't imagine. Even if you only learn a tenth or a twelfth of the methods in the show, you'll be invincible and unmatched.

"You...you knew there was something wrong with the wine?" Yao Ye said incredulously.

"Heh! With such a little trick, you can only deal with a three-year-old child!" Xiao Yan said with a sneer.

Xiao Yan said that on purpose, to demoralize Yao Ye. Xiao Yan genuinely hadn't noticed anything wrong with the wine; it was Yao Lao who reminded him. But even without Yao Lao's reminder, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been in any trouble.

"Did you switch it with something else to deliberately mislead me?" Yao Ye asked, looking shocked.

As Yao Ye was speaking, countless iron cavalrymen rapidly approached, and countless figures in black emerged from various corners. Judging from the aura emanating from them, they were at least Great Dou Master level experts.

There were also several others, like Liang Ye beside Yao Ye, whose auras were not to be underestimated; they were probably also Dou Ling experts.

"You don't need to know that. You'd better tell your men to get out of the way! Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt!" Xiao Yan said threateningly, his eyes narrowed.

"You are indeed very clever and cunning, managing to capture me. However, you cannot escape. Give up! Besides, I am a Battle Master!" Yao Ye said with a faint smile.

After Yao Ye finished speaking, she tried to summon her Dou Qi Gauze Robe to forcefully break free from Xiao Yan's restraints. However, when she tried to circulate her Dou Qi, she found that it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, with no reaction at all. She was immediately shocked.

"Heh, you can't sense the fighting spirit within your body anymore, huh?" Xiao Yan said with a cold laugh.

"You poisoned me!" Yao Ye knew perfectly well that she had been poisoned.

"Don't you think you're very smart?" Xiao Yan sneered.

Although Yao Ye was somewhat frustrated by the failure of her plan, she was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

"Hmph! So what if you're poisoned? You're surrounded and almost exhausted. I really can't imagine how you're going to escape," Yao Ye sneered.

"You can't escape. I don't believe these people won't care if you live or die," Xiao Yan said disdainfully.

"If you're using me as a shield, you're mistaken." Although Yao Ye was captured by Xiao Yan, she wasn't flustered at all, because she knew that just as she didn't dare to kill Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan also didn't dare to kill her, otherwise it would only result in a fight to the death.

Moreover, Yao Ye knew that Xiao Yan was in very bad shape at the moment. Although he didn't know why he wasn't affected by the drug addiction, even an iron man couldn't withstand three consecutive days of killing.

Xiao Yan hadn't drunk water for a long time, and his dehydration was severe. If this stalemate continued, she would definitely win. Because if Xiao Yan made even the slightest mistake, those surrounding him would immediately subdue him.

"Everyone, listen to my command! Anyone who dares to retreat a single step will be killed without mercy!" A sharp voice came from Yao Ye's mouth.

Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders. Upon hearing Yao Ye's command, the soldiers raised their spears, all aimed at Xiao Yan. The flying cavalry in the sky also drew their longbows, aiming their arrows at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan watched the approaching men in black and the soldiers, and then saw Yao Ye acting as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, so he narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was facing a life-or-death situation. If he were captured this time, even if he was not killed on the spot, he would suffer endless torture and be worse than dead.

Xiao Yan bit his lip until it bled. After the blood flowed into his mouth, he moistened his dry tongue and swallowed it to relieve his throat dryness.

"You forced me to do this!" Xiao Yan whispered in Yao Ye's ear after he had calmed down a little.

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Ye smiled disdainfully. At this point, she didn't know what other means Xiao Yan had to help him escape. In Xiao Yan's current state, even if he let him go, he wouldn't be able to get very far.

As Xiao Yan gazed at the men in black who were still approaching her and the soldiers who were on high alert, her dry, cracked lips parted slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

"Why are you all standing so close? Do you want to catch a glimpse of the princess's face? Actually, it's nothing. Princess Yaoye is so beautiful, I'm also quite smitten! I bet some of you are thinking about Princess Yaoye when you're talking to Fifth Sister at night!" Xiao Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile, revealing an expression that all men would understand.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Princess Yaoye was completely bewildered, not knowing what Xiao Yan meant or why he was discussing her appearance. At this moment, she had no idea what she was about to face, otherwise she would have chosen to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

The faces of the men in black surrounding Xiao Yan were obscured, so it was impossible to tell what expressions lay beneath their black masks. However, some soldiers seemed to be avoiding eye contact and becoming somewhat uneasy.

"Would you like to see what Princess Yaoye is wearing under that armor?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the surrounding soldiers and men in black all widened their eyes in astonishment.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Ye was terrified and lost all composure.
