Torture and Reward .

Hearing the last line , the snake had a bad feeling .

And he was correct , before he could recover from that bad premonition . A light flashed and the next second . A light blue colour flame appears right before his eyes .

The moment he saw that flame , his skin crawled and his instincts screamed . He was a magical beast and that also a cold blooded snake .

Even though he had a red flame , which was a variety of heavenly flame , but obviously it was lot more weaker then a real deal .

It was just a sub-flame that he somehow inherited due to being a magical beast in the same region where a heavenly flame has existed for centuries .

Seeing that the snake had shown its weakness . Xiao Yan said with a cold smile on his face . " I have heard that you cold blooded creature don't like these kind of celestial hot things .

Let's see , which among you gives in first ? "

Hearing this , Hai Bodong and snake both of them looked at him with some doubt , after all there was only one snake here , then why did he say ' Which among you ....' .

Seeing the confused looked on there faces , Xiao Yan chuckled and said " Oh.... that . That means . Your will , your body or you soul . Which among you breaks first .

And a reminder , if your will doesn't breaks before you soul or you body then my dear friend , I am sorry to say but you will disappear for good .

As the current alchemy skill of mine , can not bring dead back to life . "

After saying that , he threw the ' Green Core Lotus flame ' on his body .

In an instant , his entire body was on fire , except for the lower portion . The snake started to scream like a mad man . His entire body started to twist like an earthworm who have been stepped upon by a human.

The ice shackles which were on his upper body instantly melted but his lower body was still caught by the shackles .

It is because , Xiao Yan controlled his flame in such a way , that it only effected his upper body , and did not cause too much problem for his lower body .

Upon seeing this , Hai Bodong had a cold sweat on his face , he thought . ' Dam boy . He is even more ruthless then before . But he is even more good then before .

It is as if , his every characteristics have heightened by great margin . Before he was much stingy with me . Only for a tier 5 pill he asked me to be with him and guard him for complete one year .

But after he woke from coma , he gave me the offer of two tier 6 pills and that also without any reason .

Wait a minute.....

Could it be that he had lost his mysterious strength that he showed me back then . And now he is trying to win me by promising me high level rewards .

Yes.... of course , how could I forget . He said , that he won't be able to refine ' Purple spiritual recovery pill ' until and unless he doesn't get a new flame .

Dam i was so happy at that time , that i didn't pay any attention to it .

So that means , he lost his mysterious power . '

While Hai Bodong was calculating everything in his mind . Xiao Yan was busy frying the snake warm with his flame .

After burning it for a while , Xiao Yan extracted his flame and soon his face turned a little pale .

Afterall it wasn't too easy to manipulate flames at such a large scale and with such high precious with his strength of mere Dou Grandmaster .

He had to make sure that the flame wouldn't burn the snake completely and would only torture the snake .

And thus in doing so much , very high amount of spritual strength was being exhausted at a rapid speed . And thus all of this made him a little weak .

After extracting his flame , he looked at the charcoal black snake . His original red body had turned charcoal black . Even after burning it to such extent , the snake didn't seemed to show any signs of submitting .

Xiao Yan sat on the ground beside the snake and looked frustrated . But after a while , Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and soon he got up , raised his voice and said .

" Listen , you snake . Why don't we make a deal .

Why don't you tell me the location of the flame and in return , i will give you a tier 5 high grade pill , ' Dou spirit pill ' .

It can help a Dou King , increase there strength by one star in a week or so ."

The snake who was beaten to death , was not at all ready to accept defeat . His Dou Qi was sealed by Hai Bodong and his body was restrained by the ice chains . And on top of that , he was being continuously burned by a very dangerous flame , even more dangerous then any flame he saw till now . But the only good thing was that , current Xiao Yan was not too strong to completely use his flame , which left a small room for the snake .

And after being humiliated to such an extent , if he will submit then what kind of magical beast was he ?

He was ready to die , but he will never except defeat . It was below his dignity.

He can die in great despair but he won't submit just because he was being tortured .

At least this is what he had thought before this , but the moment , he heard about the pill . He instantly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yan with little suspicion .

But after thinking about the pill , he again closed his eyes and ignored Xiao Yan . No one knew what he was thinking .

But when Xiao Yan saw , that after showing a bit of interest . He ignored him , Xiao Yan shook his head and said with a wide grin . " Well , it seems you don't want it . Well I was thinking of adding the ' Emperor's breaking pill ' in the list ."

' Emperor's breaking pill ' is a unique pill , that almost touches the boundary line of tier 6 pill , and it has the capability to increase someone's chances of breaking into the Dou Emperor realm by almost 60 to 70% .

After saying this , Xiao Yan closed his eyes and said . " That's all , I can give to you . I won't be able to give you any more then this . This is my limit .

If you don't want to help , then I think I will find someone else worthy of the rewards , who knows something about the heavenly flame .

Not someone who is only pretending and doesn't know a thing about the flame . "

After saying that the moment he opened his eyes , he was completely taken aback . And he almost shouted " What.....!!!.. already.... "
