Chapter 222: The Collapsed Xiao Yan, How Can You Also Have the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame?

Cai Lin's powerful arrival instantly turned the tide of the battle. With the peak strength of a 5-Star Dou Ancestor, she was undoubtedly the strongest presence on the battlefield! She crossed her arms over her chest, her seductive figure causing blood to surge.

"Hmph!" Cai Lin's red lips parted slightly, letting out a soft hum that made people's hearts flutter. However, the next scene made everyone shudder in fear!

"Splurt, splurt, splurt, splurt!!"

Nearly twenty people from the Yan Alliance exploded on the spot, including some at the Dou King level. Xiao Yan was also among those attacked, but his sharp Soul Perception allowed him to sense the danger a second in advance, and he swiftly evaded by vibrating his Dou Qi Wings.

Even so, Xiao Yan's arm was splashed with the colorful energy sprayed from the spatial rift, instantly corroding a large area of flesh, exposing the white bones underneath!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Xiao Yan let out a heartrending cry of pain.

"Xiao Yan! Hold on!"

Yao Chen rushed over, first using the Chilling Bone Flame to remove the remaining colorful energy from Xiao Yan's body, then quickly putting a pill into his mouth, barely managing to stop the bleeding.

"Sss—"

In just one move, Cai Lin had instantly killed over twenty people from the Yan Alliance, even crippling the alliance leader Xiao Yan by taking his arm. Her terrifying combat strength shocked everyone present!

"Wow—so amazing! As expected of Sister Cai Lin!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up as she clapped her hands in praise.

Cai Lin gently stroked Zi Yan's head, a dreamy and gentle smile appearing on her face. It was hard to imagine that such a stunningly beautiful woman could act with such ruthlessness!

"Queen Medusa!!!"

Seeing the grievous state of his disciple, Yao Chen glared angrily at Cai Lin.

"What? Old man, are you not convinced?"

Cai Lin showed no fear, waving her hand to unleash another wave of colorful Dou Qi that swept across the sky.

"Boom!"

Yao Chen countered with all his might using the Chilling Bone Flame, but the enormous colorful Dou Qi still forced him to retreat repeatedly, causing his ethereal form to fade slightly.

"What a terrifying woman!"

Mo Tian Xing looked extremely serious, focusing all his attention on Cai Lin, fearing she might suddenly strike him. However, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that Yun Tianming, who had been frozen by the Chilling Bone Flame, had disappeared without a trace.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Combining Dou Qi Wings, Dark Feather Wings, and Motionless Thunder Roar, Yun Tianming instantly reached the speed of a Dou Ancestor. He appeared behind Mo Tian Xing, holding a beautiful Fire Lotus with alternating blue and green flames.

"Oh no!"

Mo Tian Xing was shocked and quickly tried to turn around to defend himself. However, he was immobilized by Cai Lin's spatial confinement. It took him two seconds of unleashing his Dou Qi furiously to break free from her Spatial Strength, but by then, he had exposed his back completely to Yun Tianming's attack.

"You like sneak attacks, huh? Here's one for you!"

"Angry Buddha Lotus Flame!!"

Yun Tianming struck Mo Tian Xing's back with the Fire Lotus, releasing a terrifying energy that tore through space and sent Mo Tian Xing flying. As the Fire Lotus spun rapidly, it exploded with a thunderous roar in front of everyone's stunned eyes!

"Boom!!!!"

The massive explosion reverberated throughout Jia Nan Academy, as everyone looked up at the sky engulfed in a sea of blue and green flames, their faces showing shock and awe.

"What a terrifying Dou Technique. Is it really possible for a 9 Star Dou King to unleash something like this?"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, his face pale with shock: "No! This is impossible! The Angry Buddha Lotus Flame is my unique technique; how can he use it?"

Three years ago, during his battle with Nalan Yanran, in a moment of desperation, he had the idea of combining the power of the Heavenly Flame and the Beast Flame to create a Fire Lotus. Although it failed in the end, his attempt to go head-to-head against the Dou Spirit level Nalan Yanran, despite only being a Dou Grandmaster at the time, was considered a respectable effort.

Later, Yao Chen had remarked that Xiao Yan's original Fire Lotus Dou Technique had great potential and could achieve even greater power once he obtained a true Heavenly Flame.

Unexpectedly, his unique killing technique had appeared in the hands of another person!

"So, that's it."

"Even at my peak, fusing the energy of two Heavenly Flames would have been impossible."

"You were able to do that because of the unique properties of the Flame Mantra Qi Method. Yun Tianming also cultivated the Flame Mantra, making it easy for him to replicate your technique."

Yao Chen, with his vast knowledge, quickly understood the principle behind Yun Tianming's use of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame. In essence, Xiao Yan, being only at the Dou Grandmaster level at the time, couldn't have invented a particularly complex Dou Technique. The Angry Buddha Lotus Flame's principle was straightforward and easy to imitate; the only real barrier was the Flame Mantra itself.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"He stole my Heavenly Flame and now he's stealing my original technique!"

"Yun Tianming! Were you sent by the heavens just to oppose me?"

Xiao Yan's mental state completely collapsed in frustration. Meanwhile, Yao Chen had no time to comfort the distraught Xiao Yan, as his eyes were fixed on the terrifying waves of fire gradually receding, revealing two tattered figures descending from the flames.

Amidst the crowd's astonishment, one person opened his eyes first.

"Who won?"

The figure that awoke did not pay attention to the exclamations from below. After a brief pause, he shook his shoulders, and a pair of lake-blue Dou Qi wings reappeared from his back.

"It's Mentor Yun! Mentor Yun won!"

Seeing the familiar Dou Qi wings from a distance, shouts of shock and joy rose from the crowd.

At this moment, Yun Tianming's Dou Qi was completely exhausted, and his Soul Power was severely depleted from the battle with the two Dou Ancestors. He swallowed a pre-prepared Sixth Grade Pill: Spirit Fusion Pill, which not only merges souls but also quickly replenishes consumed Soul Power.

"Buzz—!"

A terrifying surge of Soul Power erupted from Yun Tianming, who then dived down to pursue and finish off the severely injured Mo Tian Xing.

Though the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame is powerful, it's not enough to kill a Dou Ancestor-level expert; at best, it can severely injure them and put them in a temporary weakened state. If given a chance to recover, the outcome of the battle could still be uncertain.

"Ugh!"

Mo Tian Xing, who had fallen, spat out blood, feeling as if all the bones in his body were shattered. As he opened his eyes, he saw Yun Tianming charging towards him.

"You madman!"

Mo Tian Xing forcibly gathered his weakened Dou Qi and raised his hands to defend himself.

"Divine Finger!"

An enormous, invisible finger descended from above, shattering the remnants of Mo Tian Xing's Dou Qi defenses and delivering a direct blow to his soul. The impact caused his mind to go blank and his pupils to dilate, rendering him unconscious.

"It's over."

Yun Tianming's hand gripped Mo Tian Xing's neck.

"Crack—"

And so, Mo Tian Xing, the Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect and a 4-Star Dou Ancestor, a prominent figure of the Black-Corner Region, fell.
