Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

The intense heat emanating from that pillar of fire caused the Fire Cloud and Fire Rain brothers, who were near the edge of the circle, to gasp in shock.

"As expected, your first reaction to this kind of attack is always to dodge~~"

Even though the fire pillar had no effect, the two-headed fire spirit snake suddenly laughed, and its voice returned to its previous sweetness.

"not good!"

Just as the two-headed fire serpent had predicted, the black-robed man turned his head in "horror" to look at the two people flying towards them—

The pillar of fire aimed at the man in black robes had no effect on the sand dunes; it was clearly a trick used by the two-headed fire spirit serpent!

Chapter 62 The Current Status of the Blazing Fire Clan

In the distance, Xiao Yan clearly "saw" the two-headed fire spirit snake spewing pillars of fire at the black-robed figure he controlled, as well as the people from Blazing Fire Academy.

Manipulating the black-robed figure to dodge the non-existent pillars of fire, and using his mental power to deflect the pillars aimed at the Blazing Academy members, Xiao Yan thoughtfully increased his speed slightly so that the wings of the giant firebird he controlled could accurately collide with the incoming pillars of fire.

Everything was designed to create the illusion that the plane crashed due to the black-robed man's mistake, thus allowing the black-robed man to expose enough weaknesses to be restrained by the mental power of the two-headed fire spirit snake, and ultimately dragged directly into the depths of the desert.

"Fire Cloud, Fire Rain, you two... never mind, I'll go instead."

With the black-robed man being dragged away, Huo Zhen was now the one with the highest soul power. Instinctively, he wanted to command the Fire Cloud and Fire Rain to catch the two falling people. However, Huo Zhen noticed the penetrating wounds on the hands and feet of the two brothers. After a brief pause, Huo Zhen dragged his heavily injured body towards the spot where Xiao Yan and Huo Lie had fallen.

Bang!

Bang!

However, before Huo Zhen could reach the designated location, Xiao Yan and Huo Lie fell one after the other onto the sand.

Looking at Xiao Yan and Huo Lie, who were struggling to get up from the sand pit they had created themselves, a few meters away, Huo Zhen felt cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Meanwhile, underground.

Xiao Yan's spiritual power, along with the black robe that was being dragged into the ground, continued to spread downwards under the guidance of the two-headed fire spirit snake. After several dozen seconds, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him.

When they broke through the light together, Xiao Yan discovered that what lay beneath was a completely fiery red world—

Inside the enormous cavern, fiery red magma flowed slowly, with occasional huge bubbles rising from it. After a moment, with a soft sound, these bubbles would burst open, and scorching magma would shoot out like fireworks.

At this moment, Xiao Yan also took the opportunity to cut the spiritual energy threads that the two-headed fire spirit snake was using to control the black robe, and before falling into the lava lake, he steadily floated in mid-air.

"So this is your hideout, isn't it?"

Watching the two-headed fire spirit snake slide into the magma with perfect ease, twist its body, and then extend its body again, Xiao Yan asked.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xiao Yan would still find it hard to believe that there could be creatures living in magma that could melt steel.

"Despite being in grave danger, you remain so calm," the Fire Spirit Serpent said, not intending to answer Xiao Yan's question. "Do you perhaps believe you still have a chance to escape?"

"Um?"

Trapped in a dangerous situation?

Upon arriving here, Xiao Yan only briefly scanned the surrounding environment with his mental energy. After confirming there were no ambushes, he limited his mental energy to a very small area. Xiao Yan frowned and released his mental energy again—

Xiao Yan's expression turned serious as he still detected no threat.

"Can't you even tell me your real name? That's so stingy!" Huo Yun subconsciously complained when he noticed Xiao Yan's somewhat serious expression.

Snapped!

Xiao Yan slapped the ointment in his hand hard onto Huo Yun's leg, and Huo Bai, who was applying medicine to Huo Yu on the other side, followed suit and slapped the ointment hard onto Huo Yu's leg as well.

"Awoooooo!" x2

The two brothers screamed in agony the moment the ointment came into contact with a small piece of necrotic flesh that had been cut off.

"Why did you have to do this? You just had to provoke them." Huo Zhen, who was originally the most seriously injured, had gradually recovered after taking a few pills provided by Xiao Yan. Hearing the screams of Huo Yun and his brother, he shook his head helplessly.

"I just wanted to know your real name..." Huo Yun still grimaced, the irritation from this ointment was even stronger than the cut he had made from the stinger of the desert scorpion.

"Xiao Ding, Yan Xiao, can't you use your brain?!" Huo Yu, who had been unjustly attacked, roared at his brothers.

"Xiao Ding, Yan Xiao... is his name Xiao Yan?" The reminder from his brother finally brought Huo Yun to his senses.

"Otherwise what?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes helplessly. "Alright, alright, the medicine is almost done. Move your leg." After applying ointment to the last wound on Huo Yun's leg, Xiao Yan slapped his leg away.

"Don't I need to wrap my arms in bandages?" Huo Yun looked at his arms, which were wrapped in bandages and almost immobile, and then at his legs, which were finished after applying ointment. He looked puzzled.

"Of course we'll wrap them," Xiao Yan clapped his hands, wiping the dirt off them slightly. "But Huo Wushuang and Huo Lie will wrap the bandages on your legs for you... Is that alright?"

Xiao Yan looked at Huo Lie and Huo Wushuang, who were watching from the side.

"Are Huoyun and Huoyu alright with their injuries?"

After Huo Lie and Huo Wushuang carried Huo Yun and Huo Yu away, Huo Wu walked to Xiao Yan's side and asked.

"Change the medicine every seven days, and that should be enough after three times," Xiao Yan said, taking out a jade bottle from his Flame Awakening Ring. "This contains the medicine for the next few times. Remember to change it for both of them."

Apart from Huo Yun and Huo Yu, everyone else only suffered from poisoning and some superficial injuries. After taking the antidote pills and healing pills provided by Xiao Yan, they basically just needed to wait for the medicinal effects to dissipate. Only Huo Yun and Huo Yu, who had penetrating wounds in both hands and legs, needed special care.

"No, what I mean is... it won't affect their future Soul Master careers, right?" Huo Wu pursed her lips and voiced her real concern.

“…As long as you remember to change the medicine, they will both recover completely in a month,” Xiao Yan said, looking up and seeing the self-reproach in Huo Wu’s eyes. “If they are lucky, they may even be able to break through to level 40 within a year.”

"real?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Huo Yun's eyes lit up. "Is there really a chance to break through to level 40 within a year?"

"Why would I need to lie to you?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. "On the condition that you remember to change the medicine!"

"No problem, no problem, I always have a good memory!" Huo Yun's lips were almost curled up to his ears, and he made no attempt to suppress his excitement.

"That's good, that's good..." Huo Wu patted her chest, clearly relieved. She was really afraid that because she wanted this special fourth spirit ring, Huo Yun and Huo Yu's spirit master careers would be hindered.

"We owe you a lot this time, Xiao Yan," Huo Bai patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder. "If it weren't for you, the rest of us might have died long ago."

"It's not that exaggerated," Xiao Yan said, feeling a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm, so he quickly changed the subject. "Speaking of which, why did you guys provoke that two-headed fire spirit snake?"

Xiao Yan really couldn't understand this. The two-headed fire spirit serpent, which was about 90,000 years old, could have wiped out everyone from Blazing Fire Academy in one blow, but it didn't. It didn't even hunt down Huo Lie, who had fallen behind. Instead, it arranged for a bunch of desert scorpions to wear them down. This approach didn't seem like it was just a simple hunt.

“We don’t know either,” Huo Zhen said with a wry smile. “I noticed it when I entered the Star Dou Great Forest the day before yesterday morning. Those hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts seemed to be too turbulent. At the time, I thought it was just a small area that was affected, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.”

"After entering the desert, we found that the spirit beasts here hadn't rioted, so we put the matter out of our minds. But this morning, we were inexplicably attacked..."

Huo Zhen was very tired. He had never encountered any problems when he led the team before, so why was he so unlucky this time?

I think I entered the desert this morning... It couldn't be because of me, could it?

Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat strange.

Chapter 63 Strange Fire?

"The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent is a special creature that lives in extremely hot places and feeds on magma. It has great potential for evolution. It is only a first-order magical beast when it is born, but if it has enough opportunities, it may be able to evolve into a sixth-order magical beast comparable to a Dou Huang."

As Xiao Yan was controlling the black-robed figure and the two-headed fire spirit snake to "play around," Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's heart.

Although it was his first time trying to multitask, Xiao Yan managed to control his expression.

'You mean...'

"The creatures of this strange land, and you should know about the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, right?"

The Azure Lotus Core Flame, as the name suggests, is a flame that exists in the lava of the Earth's core. Born deep in the earth, it undergoes countless tempering, fusion, compression, and sculpting by the earth's fire. It takes ten years to become a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. When it is fully formed, its color is bluish, and a cluster of bluish flames grows in the heart of the lotus. It is called the Azure Lotus Flame, also known as the Azure Lotus Core Flame.

"You mean, there might be a Green Lotus Earth Core Flame here?!"

"It's just a possibility... even if it's not, there must be fire-attribute spiritual objects."

Since this place is not on the Dou Qi Continent, Yao Lao is not sure if the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame exists there like it does on the Dou Qi Continent. However, the fact that such a two-headed fire spirit snake can grow to the fourth rank, close to the fifth rank, means that there must be something in this magma that Xiao Yan is looking for.

"Even if you get nothing else, a fourth-tier beast fire is still a good gain..." The old man paused, "Perhaps, with this beast fire, you can push your Burning Technique to the mid-level of the Yellow Rank."

After being repeatedly tempted, Xiao Yan finally made up his mind—

Underground

The man in black robes slowly raised his right arm, his gloved right hand clenching tightly.

As the fist clenched, the two-headed fire serpent swimming in the lava lake suddenly froze, completely unable to move.

That's the end of it.

The goal changed from playing with the two-headed fire spirit snake and leaving when the time was right to killing it and searching for the treasure in the underground cave. Xiao Yan's voice was no longer lazy.

The two-headed fire spirit serpent, unable to move no matter how much it struggled, stared intently at Xiao Yan, who was controlling its body in mid-air, its huge diamond-shaped eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

Suddenly, a deep red flame ignited on the black robe, then gradually rose up, filling the entire cave in a short time.

The crimson flames swirled slowly in mid-air, and at the very center of the flames was the black robe.

laugh!

The flames on the black robe were extinguished, but Xiao Yan was unable to completely extinguish the surrounding flame vortex that resonated with the environment in a special way.

The black-robed figure remained rooted to the spot as Xiao Yan quietly sensed the immense flames surrounding him. In terms of temperature alone, among all the flames Xiao Yan had ever seen, perhaps only Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame could surpass this deep red flame. Moreover, due to the resonance with the surrounding environment, the temperature of this flame continued to rise.

boom!

The crimson flames that filled the sky suddenly began to spin rapidly, and a violent howling sound echoed continuously in the cave.

As the rotation intensified, the surrounding flames suddenly began to writhe, and a dozen or so fire snakes, entirely condensed from flame energy, suddenly appeared within the flames. After circling each other for a moment, all the fire snakes suddenly roared to the sky, and the sharp sound waves echoed continuously in the cave.

As the sound waves resounded, the dozen or so fire snakes, entirely composed of blazing flames, formed a fiery array and, carrying temperatures high enough to melt steel, surged towards the black-robed figure in the center—

"The two-headed fire spirit snake has been dealt with," Xiao Yan said with a smile as he stood up from the ground. "However, my brother needs me to go down there... Do you want to come down with me?"

"Can……"

"No, you can go down," Huo Zhen grabbed Huo Yun and covered his mouth before he could agree. "By the way, do you need our help?"

"No need, no need, it's not that deep, we'll be there in no time." Xiao Yan waved his hand.

"It might take us a while to get up here, so you'd better not stray too far. There aren't many spirit beasts around here, but if you go further away, we can't be sure."

Leaving behind his last words, Xiao Yan summoned his "Martial Soul," lit up his first Soul Ring, summoned a Flame Pangolin, and then jumped directly into the cave left behind when the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent dragged the black robe underground.

"...Wait, I think I'm seeing things. How many spirit rings does Xiao Yan have?"

After Xiao Yan disappeared from the cave, Huo Lie swallowed hard and asked, his mouth dry.

"Three... He's a three-ring Soul Master???" Huo Yun looked like he couldn't accept reality.

"A ten-year-old Soul Master with three rings..." Huo Wushuang's lips twitched slightly. "You really can't judge a book by its cover..." At nineteen years old, Huo Wushuang, a Soul Master of level thirty-nine, began to doubt whether he and Xiao Yan were even the same species.
