Exhaling slowly, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "Indeed, in front of a strong man who may have once been a Douhuang level, I really can't rob him by force."
"Crack!"
The ink pen in the old man's hand was moving slowly, but suddenly it broke with a crisp sound.
Regardless of the old man's attitude, Xiao Yan continued, "Does the old man want to talk to me now?"
Ignoring Xiao Yan's words, the old man stared at the large black mark on the map. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Xiao Yan. A hint of coldness gradually lingered in his cloudy eyes.
"Who are you anyway?"
The old man slammed his palm on the table, and the open door closed with a bang.
The old man looked at Xiao Yan with sharp eyes. The temperature in the room dropped suddenly. An icy and powerful aura suddenly spread out from the old man's body.
Xiao Yan was indeed unmoved, and said calmly: "Although this aura is strong, it is still far from being a Dou Huang powerhouse."
"Old man, you have been injured, and it was a serious injury. That is why your strength can only be exerted to this extent."
Having said this, Xiao Yan stretched out a palm, as white as jade.
Then, a flash of purple fire shot out from his palm.
“Don’t get me wrong, old sir. I don’t know you. It’s just that I was born with a strange sense of perception, and I am particularly sensitive to some of the energies around me. Previously, I happened to detect the tremendous energy in your body, so…” A touch of purple fire burst out from Xiao Yan’s outstretched palm.
"Old sir, I don't have any other intentions. I just really want to get this map fragment. It is very important to me. I hope you can be flexible."
"And I am an alchemist, old man. Maybe I can heal the injuries in your body."
"I want to restore my Douhuang strength in exchange for this incomplete map. I wonder if the old gentleman can accept this deal?"
Seeing the purple fire, the old man's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Real fire!
This is real fire. Only a fourth-grade alchemist can transform Dou Qi directly into flames without the aid of an alchemy furnace. And seeing how relaxed this black-robed kid looks, it seems that it is not just as simple as a fourth-grade alchemist.
Boy, I didn't expect you to have some skills." Looking at Xiao Yan who was not damaged at all by his aura, the white-haired old man couldn't help but be surprised.
"Haha." Xiao Yan smiled. Of course, he was not stupid enough to mention Han Li. He nodded slightly and raised the fragment of the map in his hand. He said, "Old man, what do you think?"
Although he was somewhat tempted, as this boy seemed truly extraordinary and could solve the problem that had troubled him for years, he had suffered so much for the secret of this incomplete map, given up his noble status, and lived on food for twenty years. How could he give it up so easily?
After a moment, the old man shook his head.
"Boy, I told you I won't sell it to anyone."
"If you leave now, I will pretend that you have never been here. But if you really intend to snatch it by force, then don't blame me for bullying the weak." He said lightly, and the white hair behind the old man moved without wind, and the cold fighting spirit lingered around his body.
Xiao Yan frowned when the old man flatly refused. He didn't expect that the old guy would be so stubborn. Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he didn't know what he would get after gathering all these fragments, but he still refused to agree to give it to him. This really made Xiao Yan a little annoyed.
Coupled with Han Li's endorsement, the door of the "Gutu" store was also closed. There were only two people here, so Xiao Yan decided to give it a try.
"Old sir, I am determined to get this thing today. Even if you don't agree, that kid will take it away by force!" Xiao Yan said, suppressing the smile on his face.
"With you? Although I have lived in seclusion for decades for some reasons, it is not your turn for a little kid like you to speak to me like this!" Hearing Xiao Yan say this, a sarcastic smile emerged on the old man's face and he sneered.
Xiao Yan curled his lips and stopped talking nonsense with him. He kicked his toes and quickly retreated towards the door.
He actually planned to run away.
Only a fool would fight with you. You were once a Dou Huang and now a Dou Ling, while I, Xiao Yan, am just a mere nine-star Dou Shi.
Although he can fight against masters above his level, what's the point of playing with his life?
"court death!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, a murderous look flashed across the old man's face. The hideous scar made him look even more ferocious. He stomped his foot on the ground and rushed towards Xiao Yan like lightning.
When the old man dodged, an icy air quickly filled the shop, and a light mist also lingered in it, completely obscuring Xiao Yan's sight.
With his vision obscured by the icy mist surrounding him, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. He knew that this time he might be in real trouble.
"?!"
When the icy white mist enveloped the house, Xiao Yan felt a sense of worry in his heart. He was horrified to realize that the mist had made him lose his sense of direction. Even in this small shop, he couldn't even reach the edge and was lost!
What’s even more terrifying is that when the diffuse mist eroded his body, Xiao Yan clearly felt that his speed slowed down a lot.
Before the fight even started, his speed was already slowed down by the opponent. This is a big taboo in a battle!
Xiao Yan felt a chill in his heart, and his mind moved. From the purple cyclone in his lower abdomen, wisps of purple fire Dou Qi suddenly emerged. The purple fire Dou Qi quickly flowed along his meridians. An instant later, Xiao Yan's body shook slightly, and a light purple Dou Qi gauze completely wrapped his body in it. On the surface of the Dou Qi gauze, wisps of purple fire burned up, burning the icy mist that invaded his body into nothingness.
"Boy, you have some skills, but the battle has just begun!"
Chapter 74: Shocked to hear about the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!
"Don't bother me, old sir. If I didn't have some ability, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing." Xiao Yan responded calmly to the old man's words.
Although I was horrified in my heart, I couldn't show it.
You are not as strong as the opponent to begin with, and if you are affected by the opponent's trash talk, you will definitely lose. Only by keeping calm and seizing every opportunity can you have a chance to turn the tables.
Only when you see the other person die in front of you can you be sure that the danger is over!
The most important thing Xiao Yan learned from following Han Li was Han Li's caution.
When in doubt, just step behind everyone!
With the Dou Qi Gauze Cloth possessing him, Xiao Yan clearly felt that his condition had improved a lot. He immediately clasped his hands tightly around the Black Flame Sword behind him and pulled it hard. With a slight sound, the sword left a deep mark on the ground.
Holding the heavy sword in hand, Xiao Yan's eyes carefully swept through the cold fog that permeated the surroundings.
In the storage ring, Han Li observed Xiao Yan and the old man's every move, and nodded with satisfaction.
He did not attack immediately because he wanted to train Xiao Yan. His goal was to let him experience the battle with a strong opponent, to defeat the strong with the weak, and to make full use of every inch of his advantage.
If Han Li had to deal with every problem when encountering someone stronger than himself, then what he would teach would be nothing more than a flower in a greenhouse.
You know, a true genius is someone who can fight above his level, and in Han Li's opinion, Xiao Yan's talent is quite outstanding.
His achievements should not be limited to this!
Thinking of this, Han Li once again fixed his gaze on the old man who was leaning towards Xiao Yan's blind spot, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Return to the battlefield.
"Old sir, I have no ill intentions, and I don't want to disturb your seclusion. It's just that this incomplete map is extremely important to me. I hope you can be flexible!" Xiao Yan shouted loudly, scanning the surroundings.
“Humph, I spent a lot of effort to get this thing back then. Although I have studied it for more than ten years, I still don’t know what its exact use is. But I at least know that the secret it contains is definitely not small. If you want me to give it to you for no reason, you’re dreaming!” The old man sneered in the pervasive cold fog.
Frowning slightly, Xiao Yan was about to speak again when his heart suddenly started to tremble. He quickly thrust the heavy sword in front of him, then quickly turned sideways and hid behind it.
"Puff..." With a slight sound of breaking wind, several white ice spikes shot out from the mist, and finally hit the black flame sword in front of Xiao Yan with a clanging sound.
The ice spike hit the Black Flame Sword and immediately turned into a pool of ice water, but Xiao Yan's face changed.
A chill was coming along the ice spikes, attacking his body!
The purple fire fighting spirit surged out from Xiao Yan's hands, covering the black flame sword and dispelling all the coldness on it.
"Hmph, you still have some skills. Can you take this one?"
The old man no longer concealed his figure and rushed out from the fog. Seeing this, Xiao Yan's face changed. He swung the Black Flame Sword, which was covered with purple fire spirit, and smashed it hard at the old man.
"Black Flame!"
Then Xiao Yan took the opportunity to secretly release the soul needle on the old man.
However, this secret soul technique that was invincible in normal times had no effect at all at this moment. The old man was not affected at all. He condensed an ice mirror with one hand to block Xiao Yan's black flame sword, and with a wave of the other hand, dozens of spiral ice spikes emerged and shot towards Xiao Yan!
"I knew earlier that you alchemists have strange methods," the old man sneered, "Boy, can you handle this trick?"
Seeing the overwhelming ice spikes coming, Xiao Yan had no choice but to close his eyes and whispered, "Teacher!"
Han Li nodded slightly while storing the ring.
Xiao Yan's performance was perfect and he cracked many of the opponent's fighting skills. However, given the huge gap in strength and the small space, he had already done very well.
"Well, leave it to me next."
Even if they wanted to use actual combat to train Xiao Yan, there was a limit. With Xiao Yan's strength as a nine-star fighter, challenging a strong man whose combat awareness was once at the Douhuang level was undoubtedly just asking for trouble.
"This kid, is he waiting to die?"
The old man tilted his head and saw Xiao Yan closing his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then thrust out dozens of ice spikes, but the speed was much slower and the parts hit were not vital.
"Kid, just think of this as a lesson for you. Not just anyone can mess with you!"
At this moment, a powerful aura emanated from Xiao Yan's body. The old man's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in horror: "Dou Huang?! How is it possible?!"
Han Li concealed a lot of his strength and only showed a level that could definitely crush his opponent.
He just waved his hand lightly, and the white flame filled the entire room, bringing with it an extremely contradictory yet unexpectedly harmonious realm of cold and heat.
A dark white palm print emerged and slapped the old man.
The old man said in horror: "Ice Mirror!"
A fighting spirit ice mirror that was more than twice as powerful as the previous one appeared in front of him!
This is one of his famous fighting skills, but it is useless.
The huge white palm pierced through the ice mirror like a piece of paper, and fell directly on the old man, knocking him to the ground.
"You held back just now. No one has the intention to kill. I will let you go today."
Han Li thought to himself and did not kill him.
Afterwards, he withdrew his soul power and handed over control of his body to Xiao Yan.
"The rest is up to you."
Xiao Yan touched his nose and nodded without leaving a trace. Then he said to the old man lying on the ground, "Old sir, I'm sorry. I didn't stop just now."
"Now, can we talk about this map transaction? Also, who are you?"
"Boy, I really underestimated you." The old man lying on the ground sighed and said, with a lot of fatigue in his voice.
"Forget it. I'm defeated. If you spare my life, I won't have anything to hide."
Xiao Yan remained silent and listened to the old man begin to talk.
"You also know that my original strength should be that of a Douhuang strongman, right?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded.
