Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

614. Black Flame Enters the Body

Xiao Yan could hardly believe the results of his efforts; he had witnessed the formidable strength of the Spirit Guards firsthand. Although he wasn't afraid, he knew that a fierce battle was inevitable once they clashed.

The quality of the Spirit Guards was far superior to that of the few Spirit Clan members whose strengths varied greatly and whose levels differed.

Unexpectedly, the scene was a one-sided massacre, causing Xiao Yan to pause slightly. Black Flame had already begun digesting the strongest spirit guard of the Spirit Clan, and drops of essence blood gradually appeared. This time, Xiao Yan didn't let Black Flame devour it directly. After all, Black Flame usually consumed most things directly, but it would extract the essence blood of the Spirit Clan member first.

Now that the black flames have entered his body, they have also suppressed Xiao Yan's own Red Lotus Heart Flame within his body. If Xiao Yan hadn't used the Burning Technique to intimidate the black flames at the beginning, they would have even been about to devour Xiao Yan's fighting spirit.

Therefore, Xiao Yan could not allow the black flame to continue to grow stronger, and wanted to seize some of the essence blood first.

"Young Master Ling, be careful!" A spirit guard seized the opportunity to warn him immediately.

His reminder startled everyone present!

A hint of relief flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes. Suddenly, the poisonous mist seemed to be blown away by a gentle breeze, revealing the figures of everyone who had been there before. It then enveloped Tang Zhen and Kang Ning, who had taken the hits from the three Spirit Clan Battle Venerables.

Their sudden appearance forced them to fight against three powerful Spirit Race Dou Zun, each possessing strength above the five-star Dou Zun level. If the fight continued, they might truly perish.

Qing Lin, Wei Jiangyuan, Lei Jingxiao, Ling Zhuo, and a two-star Dou Zun and a three-star Dou Zun from the Ling Clan once again became the center of attention.

"Kill Ling Zhuo first!" Wei Jiangyuan gave the order.

Qinglin and Lei Jingxiao were by no means weaklings on the battlefield. Almost simultaneously with Wei Jiangyuan's instructions, they attacked Lingzhuo.

Wei Jiangyuan is not Xiao Yan, so he could not possibly command the two of them so easily. They took action only because they clearly understood the importance of Ling Zhuo.

"Roar!" A roar of dragon's fury, accompanied by an almost nauseating bloody aura, surged out, and the great efficacy of the pill continued to give Ling Zhuo almost inexhaustible energy!

The lightning patterns extending from the back of Lei Jingxiao's neck to his face were now shining brightly. He flicked his golden spear, tearing through the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, but was also blasted away by a burst of spiritual energy.

Ling Zhuo fought with increasing ferocity, his strength almost reaching that of an eight-star Dou Zun, and the gap between him and Lei Jingxiao was not something to be easily ignored.

After driving away Lei Jingxiao, an icy power capable of suppressing the strange fire has already invaded. Ling Zhuo, with his strength approaching that of an eight-star Dou Zun, can suppress Lei Jingxiao, but he absolutely cannot suppress Qing Lin, who has already reached the peak of Dou Zun.

At this moment, noble and dark black scales had appeared on Qing Lin's arms, and her slender fingers had turned a crystal white. That was the extreme low temperature, which could instantly make a Dou Zun-level expert lose all resistance.

In the previous exchange, Lingzhuo's Wind Fury Dragon Flame was truly repelled by Qinglin's icy power.

Ling Zhuo stared directly at Qing Lin without any fear. The raging dragon flames spiraled upwards, and at the same time, a herb was once again squeezed clean in Ling Zhuo's palm.

Furying Dragon Flame, accompanied by a violent sandstorm, and supported by Ling Zhuo's limitless battle qi, aimed at Qing Lin, intending to burn it to ashes with its high temperature.

The emerald green color, the life source that controls the life and death of plants, emerges from the throat of that giant fiery sand.

Qinglin stared ahead, her emerald green eyes growing ever brighter. Her small mouth opened slightly, revealing sharp, python-like teeth, and a chilling breath condensed the air in front of her mouth into ice shards.

At this moment, the pure and domineering blood of the Nine Netherworld Python royal family, which had entered Qinglin's body, was continuously giving Qinglin even greater power.

Qinglin brought two fingers together and gently ran them across the front of her mouth from which she exhaled cold breath. The unusual white aura on Qinglin's fingers disappeared completely.

As the raging dragon flames were about to engulf him, Qinglin pointed with two fingers: "Netherworld Finger!"

Whether it was the giant fiery sand dragon that was nearly ten feet long, or the powerful life force released by the Source Spirit Crystal, it was now controlled by Qing Lin's slender fingers.

No matter how vast their energy was, not a single one of it could cross the line.

Click—click—click—

The Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked eighteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, was completely frozen between the fingers of the little girl Qing Lin!

Even the strange fire could not escape the terrifying ice. In fact, Qinglin's attack had frozen everything between her and Lingzhuo.

Ling Zhuo withstood the impact thanks to the life force released by the Source Spirit Crystal, but he still felt frozen solid. The battle qi surging within his body was affected, and for the first time, he experienced a lack of sustained power.

Even though Ling Zhuo's rationality was affected by the surging blood energy, and his heart was filled with violent and irrational emotions, a trace of panic also arose.

The next moment, Qinglin appeared in front of Lingzhuo like a ghost. Her palm was filled with a chilling aura, and a mysterious rune appeared in the center of her palm.

At the same time, a phantom appeared behind Qinglin. The phantom was thin and unclear, except for its eyes, which were very clear. They were eyes with small pale green flowers.

Qing Lin struck out with her palm, freezing the surrounding air with her chilling aura. Her movements seemed slow, but Ling Zhuo couldn't think of a way to defend herself, and tried her best to control her battle qi to resist.

But this effort was still in vain; the pervasive chill had already penetrated his body. He instantly understood why the clansman who had died at Qinglin's hands had died so silently, without even a trace of reaction.

"Qinglin's attack is truly terrifying!" Once that chilling aura enters the body, it is absolutely impossible to resist. Ling Zhuo's most renowned soul power is gradually being frozen, and he even feels that he is about to lose the ability to think.

Meanwhile, Feng Nu Long Yan was still unable to escape, and an extremely sharp pain shot through his right hand. It was because his right hand had been severed by Qing Lin. The Source Spirit Crystal itself had not yet completed its energy storage, and its last connection with him had been broken.

At this moment, four words suddenly came to mind that perfectly described Ling Zhuo's current state: "pushing the millstone on a poor road."

Qinglin first cut off Lingzhuo's right hand, absorbed the Source Spirit Crystal into his palm, and then, looking at Lingzhuo who was gradually being frozen, he quickly condensed an ice blade in his hand and slashed through the void before Lingzhuo was completely frozen.

A trickle of blood seeped from Ling Zhuo's neck, but was then completely frozen.

The Spirit Clan's prodigy, Ling Zhuo, has fallen!

No matter how much the Spirit Clan had sacrificed for him, no matter how bright his future had been, no matter how much ambition Ling Zhuo had, he was now just like any other member of the Spirit Clan, dying in the darkness of the Spirit Clan's fierce attack on the Pill Tower.

After Qinglin completed the mission, everyone in the Spirit Clan watched Lingzhuo die.

Even though they were all powerful Dou Zun, and even though they were not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the genuine fear from the bottom of their hearts completely terrified these Spirit Race people who had been indulging in peaceful and tranquil lives for countless years.

Some players' previously skillful maneuvers were instantly thrown into disarray, and they were killed by Lei Jingxiao's spear thrust, who was brimming with fighting spirit. Others tried to abandon the battle and leave immediately, but they were caught and killed by Wei Jiangyuan, who possessed a Heaven-rank movement technique, before they could go far.

The only ones who truly fought to the death without retreating were the two remaining Spirit Guards of the Spirit Clan, but given the disparity in strength, no matter how much they struggled, it was difficult to achieve any results.

In the end, these two awe-inspiring Spirit Clan warriors were annihilated. One was pierced through the chest by Xiao Yan's black flames, leaving no trace of his body. The other, under the combined attack of Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's poison, was reduced to an unrecognizable corpse.

In the end, apart from the strongest member of the Spirit Clan, an eight-star Dou Zun, who escaped, all twelve Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan died at the hands of Xiao Yan and his group.

Tang Zhen and Kang Ning were both shocked by what they saw. They were all Dou Zun, so why were Xiao Yan and his group so incredibly powerful? Not only did each of them possess the ability to kill a Dou Zun in a short time, but Xiao Yan could even wipe out a Dou Zun single-handedly as if it were a matter of a snap of his fingers.

Xiao Yan's success today was due in part to the fact that the Spirit Guards were too vulnerable at the beginning of the battle. In order to use the Void Restriction, their own protection was very limited, so Xiao Yan's thunderous methods were naturally unable to resist them.

In fact, the last two Spirit Guards, whose strength was only five stars, caused Xiao Yan considerable trouble. In the end, he still managed to defeat them by relying on Black Flame and Xiao Yan's various methods.

(Insert a scene where the Spirit Guards risk their lives to prevent their clansmen from leaking secrets)

The situation was tense, so after a quick cleanup, everyone regrouped. Xiao Yan thanked Tang Zhen, who had come to help, saying, "Valley Master Tang, thank you for today's help."

If Tang Zhen and Kang Ning hadn't arrived in time, Little Fairy Doctor alone wouldn't have been able to stop all the Dou Zun of the Spirit Clan.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, what are you saying? Do you insist that I thank you for protecting Huo'er's safety?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.

"Valley Master Tang, what exactly happened at the Pill Tower?" Xiao Yan asked proactively.

From the moment they noticed the strange activity within the Pill Tower, they were embroiled in a fierce battle with Ling Zhuo and his group. They knew nothing of what was happening inside the Pill Tower, and their current understanding was limited to speculation: the Spirit Race had launched a forceful attack on it.

Upon hearing this, Kang Ning also took the initiative to explain, "I don't know. At first, we only noticed the movement of the Pill Tower, and then we realized that a very fierce battle had broken out inside the tower. The Pill Tower is in a bit of chaos now, so I came here with Old Tang."

"So what do we do now?" Lei Jingxiao asked, holding his golden spear. "Should we go to the top of the tower, or leave first?"

"Judging from Ling Zhuo's performance, the Spirit Clan is definitely not the only ones who came this time. Going to the top of the tower is definitely dangerous. If we leave first, we can get a clearer picture of the situation," Little Fairy Doctor commented immediately.

"We absolutely can't just leave, President Xuan Yi is still at the top of the tower!" Wei Jiangyuan glanced at Yao Qingyu and offered his opinion on her behalf.

Afterwards, most people focused their attention on Xiao Yan, since the best performers in the battle were Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, who had broken the air barrier. Although Qing Lin had a formidable record, she was completely obedient to Xiao Yan.

As Xiao Yan sensed the constant movements, near and far, occurring within the Pill Tower, his mind calmed down.

"The Dan Tower is extremely dangerous right now, we must leave first. We don't know how many Spirit Clan members have come, so we must all act together as much as possible and break through together."

"But..." Yao Qingyu subconsciously snapped back to reality upon hearing Xiao Yan's decision.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan appeared before Yao Qingyu and solemnly said, "Qingyu, I'm going to rescue Master's wife!"
