Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 27 Battle of Fire

The crimson flame in Cao Ying's hand stood upright, almost like a human figure, as soon as it entered the fighting arena, its every movement even possessing a touch of sentience. ★😳 ❻➈𝔰𝒽𝓾Ж.cㄖ𝐌 🍓🐜

"This is... the natal beast fire of the eighth-tier magical beast, the Blood Demon Ape?" Xiao Yan nodded to himself as he looked at it. The Blood Demon Ape Fire was the core flame that fused into the Blood Demon Flame.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Cao family will collect beast fire essence for Cao Ying on a large scale in the future, and eventually condense it into Blood Demon Flame, which is comparable to the beast fire of a ninth-order magical beast.

This flame is extremely powerful, ranking first among beast fires below the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.

However, at least for now, this Blood Demon Ape Fire is only an eighth-tier beast fire, and it doesn't have much of an advantage over my Azure Lion Demon Flame.

With a thought, Xiao Yan caused a large amount of azure flames in the fighting arena to rapidly condense, eventually forming a cyan lion with wings on its back.

"It's an eighth-tier magical beast, the Azure Lion Demon Flame of the Azure Winged Heavenly Demon Lion." On the high hall, Danyangzi and the Cao family patriarch exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised but not overly so.

As Yao Chen's disciple, it's perfectly normal for him to have the beast fire of an eighth-order magical beast. What's surprising is that the Azure Winged Heavenly Demon Lion is relatively rare.

"Blood Demon Ape Fire, tear his lion apart!" Cao Ying formed hand seals, and the humanoid flame suddenly expanded, eventually transforming into a giant demonic flame ape.

"Roar!" The Flame Ape pounded its chest and stamped its feet, charging towards the blue lion.

"A mere trick!" Xiao Yan brought his two fingers together and commanded the Azure Lion Demon Flame to fight the Demon Flame Ape.

The two demonic beasts formed from flames were tearing at each other frantically. Cao Ying's originally proud expression gradually turned serious, while Xiao Yan remained calm, with a hint of confidence.

"Haha, you've really piqued my interest. Among my peers, you're the first one who's given me a run for my money when we're arguing. What's your name?"

As the pressure increased, Cao Ying became even more excited, only to realize at this point that she didn't even know the other person's name.

"Xiao Yan!" Xiao Yan calmly uttered his name, his expression still indifferent, as if this battle fire posed no pressure on him whatsoever.

In fact, he felt no pressure at all. No matter how talented Cao Ying was, she was still just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

"If this is all you've got, you're probably going to lose." Xiao Yan finally smiled slightly, but with a hint of contempt.

Suddenly, the blue lion in the arena intensified its attack, leaving the Flame Ape in a sorry state.

"Is that all the tricks you have?" Cao Ying sneered.

"Xiao Yan, I admit you are indeed very strong, but when it comes to fighting fire among peers, I, your grandma, have never lost." With that, an aura at the Dou Wang level erupted from her.

"Boom!" As her battle aura erupted, the powerful battle aura instantly catalyzed the Blood Demon Ape Flame to grow larger.

The Flame Ape, which was originally only a little over a meter tall, instantly grew to several meters tall!

If it weren't for the height of the roof, the Demon Flame Ape could have continued to grow to tens of feet tall.

"She's already reached the initial stage of Dou Wang?" Xiao Yan subtly sensed the aura emanating from Cao Ying, which was probably at the level of a first or second-star Dou Wang.

Although she had only just entered the Dou Wang realm, she was not even fifteen years old, younger than me.

This talent would be considered top-tier even among the seven ancient races. In terms of bloodline level, she would probably be at the eighth rank or even the ninth rank, and have the opportunity to become a saintess.

"Truly worthy of being called the Cao family's enchantress! Too bad you've met me, hehehe!"

A smug smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

This is Cao Ying's peak moment, and also her proudest moment. If you defeat her severely at this time, it will leave an indelible impression on her mind.

If you make good use of this impression, you won't be far from winning her over.

"To reach the King of Fighters level at this age is truly impressive."

Seeing the smile on Xiao Yan's lips, Cao Ying's usually confident attitude suddenly became a little uneasy.

"What a pity, you've run into me!" As Xiao Yan finished speaking, an aura far more powerful than Cao Ying's erupted, causing Dan Yangzi and the Cao family patriarch, who had been calm, to change their expressions.

"A two-star Dou Huang?! How is that possible?!"

A boy who was just over fifteen years old was already a Dou Huang powerhouse.

"This child has the potential to become a Battle Saint!" The two old men exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"How is this possible? How could you possibly be a Dou Huang!" Cao Ying's alluring face turned deathly pale at that moment.

Among the peers she knew, there were some whose battle qi cultivation was higher than hers, but all of them were major cultivators of battle qi, and their levels were limited, at most only three stars.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone who can cultivate alchemy and still have a higher cultivation level than me. Moreover, this young man's cultivation level is so much higher than mine.

Even with his own talent, he would need to be seventeen or eighteen years old to reach the Douhuang level.

"Hehe, little girl, let's see how I handle you!" Xiao Yan smiled wickedly, pouring his surging battle qi into the Azure Lion Demon Flame.

"Bang!" Unexpectedly, the Azure Lion Demon Flame exploded with a bang after rapidly expanding.

"Sigh, the drawbacks of Yellow-Rank cultivation techniques are really too obvious." A feeling of weakness due to kidney deficiency welled up in Xiao Yan's heart.

The battle qi generated by this Yellow-rank technique was somewhat weak and could not withstand his great strength. It suddenly lost control of the flames and exploded.

Seeing Xiao Yan's flames explode, Cao Ying immediately reacted and hurriedly urged the Demon Flame Ape to crush the scattered Azure Lion Demon Flames.

"Miss Cao, sometimes, the best things come in small packages." After calming himself down, Xiao Yan finally began to formally form the hand seals.

The cyan flames began to rapidly condense, forming a cyan lion once more. However, this lion was less than half the size of the previous one, and compared to the enormous demonic flame ape, it was barely the size of a palm.

"Condense the Fire Spirit!" Upon witnessing this scene, the people present changed color once again, because although the blue lion was smaller in size, it was more solid and more spiritual.

This is a technique that only many sixth-grade alchemists possess.

"Azure Lion Heavenly Demon Slash! Swift!" Xiao Yan shouted, and the azure lion flapped its two long wings, slicing through the Demon Flame Ape like two sharp scimitars.

A trail of blue flames flashed across the surface as the Flame Ape frantically clawed around, but it couldn't catch the little lion at all. Instead, it was cut all over its body by the knife-like wings.

"Xiao Yan, you are strong, but I will definitely defeat you."

Cao Ying gave a low shout, and her immense soul power joined the Flame Ape.

However, Xiao Yan's soul power was much deeper than hers, like a pond and a lake. No matter how hard Cao Ying tried, Xiao Yan always appeared relaxed.

"I refuse to believe it!" Cao Ying's beautiful eyes were red. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been defeated by her peers. Today, not only was she suppressed, but the other party did not seem to have used their full strength.

Her hands were frantically forming hand seals, and blood tears were even faintly flowing from her eyes.

"Ying'er, that's enough!" The Cao family patriarch's expression changed again upon seeing this scene. Cao Ying was about to activate a secret technique. Although this technique could greatly increase her strength, it would leave significant aftereffects and might even affect her foundation.

"Xiao Yan, I will definitely defeat you!"

Cao Ying ignored the Cao family patriarch and continued forming hand seals.

"Enough." The boy's calm voice rang out, and the blue lion, which had been bullying the demonic flame ape to a pulp, suddenly paused, then "bang," it turned into blue flames and scattered.

Cao Ying was taken aback, and the next moment, the process of casting the secret technique was interrupted by a burst of fighting energy.

"Is it worth damaging your foundation for a small competition?" A gentle voice rang in Cao Ying's ears. Cao Ying looked up slightly and saw the boy smiling at her.

At that moment, it seemed as if a blinding light emanated from him, like the sun in the sky.

Unbeknownst to her, Xiao Yan had already left an indelible impression on her heart.

"Let's end the competition here for today. We'll have a rematch of our alchemy skills at the Pill Competition in seven days."

The figure of the white-robed youth faded into the distance with the sound, leaving only a bewildered Cao Ying and the others looking completely lost.
