Xiao Yan versus Hai Bo Dong
"Da Dou Shi? No, your aura is somewhat like a Magical Beast... and that flame is..." The old man's expression was grave, his strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
His actual strength was that of a five-star Dou Huang, but due to certain reasons, his Dou Qi was sealed at the level of a two-star Dou Ling. Although his Dou Qi was sealed, his Soul power and Dou Techniques were still at the Dou Huang level.
His Cultivation Method was a Mystic High-Rank ice-attribute Cultivation Method, and he even knew an Earth Rank Dou Technique, not to mention a whole bunch of Mystic Rank Dou Techniques.
Yet, his ice seal was broken by a one-star Da Dou Shi?! "Just who are you? Even the royal family or the Yunlan Sect of the Gama Empire could not nurture someone like you."
The old man stared sharply at Xiao Yan, a cold and powerful aura spreading from his body.
However, the moment the old man's icy Dou Qi touched the blood-red flames on Xiao Yan's body, it immediately evaporated into steam.
Hidden under his black robe, Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "I am just a young man passing through on my way to visit relatives. If not for this map, I would not have come to disturb you, old sir."
Xiao Yan spoke gently, like a spring breeze, but the domineering tone beneath his words was clear to anyone. He was clearly robbing someone's house, yet he spoke as if he had no choice.
Hearing Xiao Yan's twisted logic, the old man suddenly laughed, gradually turning into a maniacal laughter: "Hahahaha! After being sealed by the Medusa Queen for more than twenty years, I, Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong, have now fallen to the point of being bullied by a Da Dou Shi! How amusing!"
Hearing Hai Bo Dong's maniacal laughter, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. The old man before him was actually the Ice Emperor, once among the top three of the Gama Empire's Ten Strongest!
Xiao Yan had heard that the Ice Emperor had disappeared for a long time, with rumors saying that he had died while exploring a relic for treasure. He never expected that he had been sealed with his Dou Qi and hidden in Mo City!
Hai Bo Dong's eyes revealed a fierce glint. With a slight sound of wind breaking, several tiny, weak needle-like white ice spikes shot out from his palm.
Sensing the danger with his Soul power, Xiao Yan condensed the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame in his right hand and punched out at the incoming ice needles.
With three cracking sounds, Xiao Yan's fist felt a cold sensation, and a layer of frost appeared on his fist. He circulated his Dou Qi, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame instantly evaporated the frost.
Xiao Yan gently blew on the remaining ice shards on his fist, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a hint of competitive spirit arose in his heart.
He had not had the chance to test his strength in actual combat after refining the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame. Now, he had encountered a two-star Dou Ling, and a former Dou Huang at that.
A strong fighting intent arose in Xiao Yan's heart. He wanted to see how far his current strength could go against a former Dou Huang.
"Dou Qi Transformation Armor! Lion's Roar!" Xiao Yan directly used the Dou Technique Lion's Roar, the blood-red flames transforming into a set of beast armor covering Xiao Yan. A manic, scorching blood energy spread out, and a phantom of an Eight-Winged Flame Devil Tiger, more than three meters tall, appeared behind him.
With a loud bang, Exploding Step was activated. Xiao Yan did not fear the so-called Ten Strongest. As long as he had some time, there would only be one strong person in the Gama Empire in the future! He took the initiative to attack, his figure stretching out, instantly appearing in front of Hai Bo Dong, his five fingers forming claws, slashing out five bloody marks at Hai Bo Dong.
"Hahahaha, come on, let me see how much you're really worth to dare rob me!" Facing the five bloody marks, Hai Bo Dong sneered, his withered hands quickly forming a hand seal. He circulated the icy Dou Qi in his body and shouted softly, "Ice Mirror!"
The white cold air around Hai Bo Dong suddenly surged rapidly. In an instant, a transparent ice mirror about half a meter long and wide abruptly condensed in front of him.
Gah!!! Five ear-piercing noises rang out. Xiao Yan's attack only left five scratch marks on the ice mirror, unable to break through Hai Bo Dong's Ice Mirror.
Looking at Xiao Yan in mid-air, Hai Bo Dong revealed a hint of disdain. He waved his palm, and dozens of spiral-shaped ice thorns rapidly formed in front of him, then, with a wave of Hai Bo Dong's hand, they shot towards Xiao Yan like a storm, whistling as they went.
His feet slid a distance on the ground, Xiao Yan looked up at the large number of ice thorn attacks mixed with icy aura, his brows slightly furrowed. The Eight-Winged Flame Devil Tiger phantom behind him folded its eight wings to wrap around Xiao Yan's body, his hands blocking in front of him.
Dang dang dang dang sounds, countless ice thorns bombarded like a rainstorm, quickly piercing through the Eight-Winged defense. The Dou Qi Armor on his hands had also been pierced by the ice thorns, and the cold force of the ice thorns formed a thick layer of ice on Xiao Yan's body.
Hai Bo Dong raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw that Xiao Yan actually planned to use his physical body to withstand his Dou Technique.
This was too crazy! His icy Dou Qi was a Mystic High-Rank Cultivation Method. Once the cold air entered the heart, even immortals would find it difficult to save him. Yet, he was using his physical body to withstand it?!
"Ha!" Xiao Yan's body shook, and the roar of ten thousand beasts came from within his body. All the frost on his body was blown away. The Burning *Mantra* operated at high speed, Xiao Yan switched flames, and the Void Swallowing Flame rotated within his body. Without exception, all the invading cold air became food for the Void Swallowing Flame.
Moreover, the body strengthened by the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame was already the physique of a Magical Beast. Hai Bo Dong's spiral ice thorns only pierced through the Dou Qi Armor, failing to pierce Xiao Yan's arm!
With a bang, Xiao Yan charged again, his right fist drawing back like a bow, his muscles bulging to the extreme, directly smashing a punch on the ice mirror.
"Eight Extremities Collapse - Ten Thousand Beasts Collapse Fist!"
With a bang, the ice mirror shattered in response. Xiao Yan's punch was like ten thousand beasts galloping, instantly shattering the hard ice mirror, passing through the ice mirror and heavily blasting towards Hai Bo Dong.
Hai Bo Dong's scalp went numb as he looked at the fist that had broken through his ice mirror! What kind of humanoid monster was this!! Had the world changed during his seclusion?! Or had he become rusty from not fighting for too long?! Hai Bo Dong formed hand seals with both hands, as if the former Ice Emperor had returned, filled with a sense of unwavering determination. He did not choose to dodge, but instead returned a palm strike.
"Ice Sky Palm!!"
Fist and palm collided, and instantly two completely opposite energies clashed. The terrifying shockwave swept through the entire shop, wooden shelves, bookshelves, tables and chairs were all swept into the air, and maps flew everywhere.
"Ice Burst!"
"Hidden Force, Explode!"
With two explosions, the Eight Extremities Collapse's eightfold hidden force exploded. Hai Bo Dong retreated eight steps before stabilizing his body, while Xiao Yan was directly blown away. He flipped in the air and spread his Eagle's Wings to stabilize his figure.
Xiao Yan's entire right hand turned incomparably pale, and even the Void Swallowing Flame needed some time to devour the power of the frost. However, Hai Bo Dong wasn't in a much better state either; the terror of hidden force lay in internal injuries.
In terms of Dou Technique level, Xiao Yan's Eight Extremities Collapse, fused with the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, had the advantage, but Hai Bo Dong's Dou Qi cultivation was at the Dou Ling stage, so Xiao Yan wasn't having an easy time either.
Hai Bo Dong stared at Xiao Yan in the air and said in a deep voice, "A flying Dou Technique; you truly are a treasure trove."
Xiao Yan took out the Mystic Heavy Ruler from his Storage Ring and smiled faintly, "Elder Hai is still as sharp as ever."
As a Dou Huang, Hai Bo Dong still had one Earth Rank Dou Technique he hadn't used, but he sensed that Xiao Yan also had trump cards. Most importantly, Hai Bo Dong actually understood that he probably couldn't keep Xiao Yan here.
Because Xiao Yan possessed a Strange Flame, its restraint against ice-attribute Dou Qi was too severe. Originally, the cold energy entering the body would have been enough to slow down the circulation of Dou Qi, but the Strange Flame could eliminate the cold energy within the body.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have a Strange Flame on you, otherwise, there's no way a Da Dou Shi like you could so easily eliminate my cold energy."
