628.4 Fire Fusion
Xiao Yan's attention was now focused solely on the flames in his hands. Although his strength had undergone a tremendous leap after consuming the essence blood, Xiao Yan had completely given up on fighting Xuan Leizi. Instead, he unleashed the Three Thousand Thunderclaps and began to circulate irregularly around the Pill Tower Hall, clearly intending to avoid battle.
Xiao Yan's previous one-sided crushing of Xuan Lei Zi was definitely not meaningless. In the process of being constantly suppressed, Xiao Yan still keenly saw a weakness in Xuan Lei Zi that could be exploited.
Xuan Leizi's movements were too slow.
He completely lacked the lightning-fast movements expected of a semi-saint. In this life-or-death battle, Xuan Lei Zi was unlikely to hold back against Xiao Yan; on the contrary, every move was aimed at killing him. After several exchanges, coupled with Elder Ma Yi Lin's earlier warning, Xiao Yan had decided to use a strategy of maneuvering and evasion to deal with Xuan Lei Zi.
Xuan Leizi tried to suppress Xiao Yan again, but Xiao Yan actually dodged it with his agile movements.
When did he find out?
Xuan Leizi hadn't expected Xiao Yan to see through his physical limitations so quickly, nor had he anticipated that Xiao Yan, whom he considered as insignificant as an ant, would be so tenacious. Despite his repeated attacks to weaken Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan possessed a terrifying vitality like a demonic beast, and Xuan Leizi simply couldn't completely eliminate him.
Xiao Yan's guess was correct. Because the blood was injected later, Xuan Leizi's movements were always somewhat slow under the air restriction released by the Dou Sheng powerhouse. Therefore, Xuan Leizi always used the method of overcoming skill with brute force from the beginning.
Now that Xiao Yan has become smarter and unwilling to fight him, he is not so easy to capture.
After absorbing over seventy drops of essence blood, Xiao Yan had completely ignored the effects of the Void Restriction on him, thanks to the Spirit Clan bloodline within his body. Xiao Yan unconsciously let out a hearty laugh; the Spirit Clan would never have imagined that their trump card, the "Void Restriction," would become his repeated means of breaking through their predicaments tonight.
With practiced skill, Xiao Yan quickly completed the initial fusion of the three different flames. He then took out the Wind Fury Dragon Flame Ice Crystal that Qing Lin had given him; this was now the fourth different flame he could use!
The ice crystal protection released by Qinglin was specially designed with a simple destruction method for Xiao Yan's convenience, so that he could activate it whenever he needed it.
"Come forth, Wind Fury Dragon Flame!" Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.
The Wind Fury Dragon Flame was not the original strange fire that Xiao Yan absorbed; at this moment, he was controlling it with only his left hand.
The raging dragon flames surged forth like a caged beast unleashed, the scorching air currents carrying sharp howls that released intense heat, and a violent column of tornadoes suddenly rose within the main hall of the Pill Tower. This nineteenth ranked strange fire revealed its unruly nature the moment it appeared, with the shape of an earthen-yellow dragon head vaguely forming at its core, attempting to break free of control and pierce the top of the tower.
Seeing this restless strange fire, Xiao Yan activated the aura of the Burning Technique with his left hand. The power of the Burning Technique, which even the eerie black flames feared, was not something that a Wind Fury Dragon Flame could resist, not to mention that it had just suffered a severe attack from Qing Lin not long ago. Relying on his understanding of strange fires, Xiao Yan immediately and steadily controlled the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.
"Merge!" Xiao Yan said without any hesitation, his movements steady and firm.
When the fourth strange fire was forcibly pulled into the fusion vortex, the three-colored fire lotus suddenly expanded several times, and serrated energy ripples burst forth from the edges of the lotus petals.
The four different flames burned slowly. The repulsion between these flames was already extremely fierce, making the fusion of multiple flames a gamble. Xiao Yan was only able to ensure the smooth progress of the fusion this time by relying on his rich experience in fusing the Buddha's Fury Lotus multiple times in the past.
Xuan Leizi watched Xiao Yan's actions, and his experience told him that Xiao Yan was brewing something that might be able to break the deadlock.
The fact that Xiao Yan killed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion Master was no secret in Zhongzhou. Xuan Leizi had always known that Xiao Yan possessed a powerful fusion flame fighting technique.
Therefore, whether it's to stop Xiao Yan from developing the fusion skill of the four different flames, or to complete the task Ling Haonan initially assigned him, Xuan Leizi must thwart Xiao Yan's intentions.
At this moment, he was also enduring the suppression of the void restriction on him. He had several bright flames in his hands, and then the flames formed a rain of fire, which chased and swept towards Xiao Yan.
However, Xiao Yan, who has now fused with dozens of drops of the Spirit Clan's essence blood, is far more agile in the Void Restriction than Xuan Lei Zi can match. Xiao Yan's half-escape and half-dodge made Xuan Lei Zi's plans to stop him fail one by one.
At the same time, Xiao Yan's fusion of fire lotuses never stopped.
Xiao Yan had only attempted the Four-Colored Fire Lotus once before, but that time he only briefly borrowed Xun'er's golden flames. Now, he had added the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking. The difficulty of fusing the Four-Colored Fire Lotus was immense, not to mention that Xiao Yan was currently dodging Xuan Leizi's attacks. Fortunately, the more critical the moment, the calmer Xiao Yan became.
Xuan Leizi looked at the nimble Xiao Yan and knew very well that if he continued to chase after him, he would only be able to watch helplessly as Xiao Yan completed the fighting technique in his hand.
Immediately, he simply stopped foolishly chasing after him, as the speed difference had drastically increased the difficulty of the original task of capturing and killing Xiao Yan.
However, this doesn't mean Xuan Leizi can only sit idly by and watch Xiao Yan perform. As a half-saint, he still possesses a significant advantage in strength, and even in unfavorable circumstances, Xuan Leizi has other ways to stop Xiao Yan.
His current option is to directly use a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique to strike Xiao Yan from every angle, and then the crisis will naturally be resolved.
Xuan Leizi immediately began to make hand seals, and his semi-saint level battle qi rapidly gathered in front of him according to his will, causing his body to become as hot as molten lava.
After Xuan Leizi chose to stop the pursuit, the originally bustling Dan Tower hall became quiet for a short time.
Xiao Yan focused on fusing the four different flames in his hands, and the flame aura continued to expand. Meanwhile, the energy in front of Xuan Leizi was not to be outdone, and gradually became terrifying.
Under Xiao Yan's relentless output of Dou Qi, the four-colored flames finally reached a state of balance. Last time, when Xiao Yan fused the four-colored fire lotus, he could only defeat an ancient demon with the strength of a Dou Zun. Now, although Xiao Yan's own strength has made a considerable leap, reaching the level of a three-star Dou Zun...
But the opponent he was about to face was even more terrifying—a confinement formation presided over by the five-star Dou Sheng Ling Hao Nan. Such an opportunity was not easy to find.
"Not enough!" Xiao Yan said fiercely.
