Hidden Object of the Gate of Life and Death
"Boom!"
The protective shield had just formed when the terrifying energy shockwave from the sky surged down and slammed heavily against it. Instantly, the shield rippled like the surface of a lake when a massive rock is thrown into it, with waves spreading out continuously.
However, this time, the protective shield constructed by the united efforts of the Yunlan Sect disciples failed to withstand the impact as it had before.
Cracks rapidly appeared on the energy shield, as if it would shatter at any moment.
During the energy collision in the sky, those around the plaza, except for the bold and skilled individuals like Fa Ma, Jia Xing Tian, Hai Bo Dong, Yun Yun, and Gu He, had retreated far away for safety.
Although Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's strength was only at the level of a high-level Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master), after being enhanced by secret techniques and using Earth Rank Dou Techniques, the energy released after their attacks collided was something even a Dou Wang (Fighting King) expert wouldn't dare to be exposed to without protection.
"Great Elder, the three of you stabilize one side, leave the rest to me," Yun Yun said with a frown, looking at Yun Leng and the other two in a deep voice.
In the next moment, Yun Yun and the three Dou Wang Great Elders, including Yun Leng, appeared in front of the protective shield, pouring Wind Attribute Dou Qi into it desperately to stabilize it.
The plaza, originally used for duels between Yunlan Sect disciples, had undoubtedly become a ruin at this moment, with no trace of its former appearance.
"That kid has a Strange Flame and a flying Dou Technique, I think he should be fine. I just don't know if Yanran's power can withstand such an impact," Elder Yun Cha said, frowning as he looked at the plaza still enveloped in energy.
"Great Elder, this young man named Xiao Yan is not easy to deal with," Elder Yun Du said with a deep frown.
"Let's see how it goes. It would be best if Yanran could defeat him, but if not, we can only be more forceful. You all understand the importance of some things. That person named Xiao Yan is not only a Rank 5 Alchemist but also possesses a Strange Flame. He is more valuable than Gu He. You should understand what I mean," Yun Leng transmitted his voice.
Seeing Yun Leng's gloomy gaze, the other two elders understood and nodded secretly.
At this moment, in the center of the energy-ravaged plaza, Xiao Yan, covered in Black Flame, was like a dark messenger walking in the void, ignoring the terrifying energy and approaching Nalan Yanran, who was struggling to resist the energy impact.
Even with Dou Qi Transformation Armor and defensive Dou Techniques, Nalan Yanran found it difficult to withstand the violent energy vortex.
When Nalan Yanran saw that Xiao Yan dared to walk in such violent energy, her eyes widened in disbelief!
"Don't hold on, you can't beat me. It's undeniable that your strength is the strongest I've seen among people of the same age, but you're still not as good as me." Of course, Xiao Yan could walk in the energy vortex. For Mao Wu, it was like a glutton arriving at a dessert shop, eating to its heart's content.
With a buzz, Nalan Yanran's Yun Slaughter Black Sword once again emitted that peculiar white light. Nalan Yanran planned to rely on this powerful healing energy to withstand the energy vortex and fight Xiao Yan again.
Whoosh! Suddenly, wisps of black flames ignited on the Yun Slaughter Black Sword, and the newly emerged white energy was completely devoured!
Xiao Yan smiled and explained, "It's useless. Although the life flame hidden in your sword is powerful, it's just nourishment for my Devouring Flame. Moreover, you only have some stored flames, while I am the true fire seed. The difference is huge."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Nalan Yanran slowly closed her eyes, and the Dou Qi in her body stopped. It was unclear whether her Dou Qi couldn't hold on or if she was seeking death.
Of course, Xiao Yan couldn't let Nalan Yanran be destroyed by the energy vortex like this. Whether for Yun Yun's sake or because Xiao Yan wanted to know something from Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan would save her.
With a wave of his hand, Mao Wu spat out Black Flame, enveloping the two of them, while it opened its mouth and devoured the violent energy.
Inside the Black Flame protective shield, Nalan Yanran sighed and looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression, asking, "Why are you so strong?"
Nalan Yanran was also convinced. She hadn't won even after using all her trump cards. She had obtained a portion of Yun Potian's inheritance! As long as she entered the Gate of Life and Death again, she could obtain the complete Dou Zun inheritance, but she still couldn't beat Xiao Yan!
"The strong remain strong."
Nalan Yanran shook her head and gave up fighting. She had lost even after using all her cards. With a clang, she returned the Yun Slaughter Black Sword to its sheath.
"What do you want to ask? I can tell you anything that doesn't involve the Yunlan Sect's secrets," Nalan Yanran said, not forgetting what she had just said. As long as Xiao Yan could beat her, she would tell Xiao Yan about the Gate of Life and Death.
Xiao Yan's expression was calm, and he wasn't in a hurry. He threw out a Fifth Grade healing pill from his Storage Ring and said, "Eat this first. The side effects of a secret technique that can increase your level by a large margin might be fatal."
Xiao Yan didn't force himself either and also ate a Fifth Grade healing pill to resolve the side effects of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations.
Nalan Yanran glanced at the pill in her hand, then at Xiao Yan. After frowning slightly, she also took the pill. If Xiao Yan wanted to harm her, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths.
Instantly, a gentle medicinal power nourished her body, which had been overdrawn by the secret technique.
"That white energy of yours is a flame, right?" Xiao Yan had seen through it at a glance when Nalan Yanran used the white energy to heal. It was nothing else but a special flame!
Moreover, it was a Strange Flame, so Xiao Yan could see the clue at a glance. Even Gu He hadn't been able to discover it.
Nalan Yanran nodded.
"That flame is inside the Gate of Life and Death?"
Nalan Yanran nodded again.
"Besides the white flame, is there also a black one that looks like a fish?"
Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan with surprise in her beautiful eyes and exclaimed, "How do you know?"
Pounding his chest and stamping his feet!!! Xiao Yan regretted it so much that he hit his chest hard! Strange Flame, ah ah!!
The twenty-first ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, Yin-Yang Dual Flame, also known as Yin-Yang Life-Death Flame! Two flames, one black and one white, intertwine, moving like Yin-Yang fish.
The Yang Flame heals, endlessly regenerating; the Yin Flame kills, bringing eternal damnation. The dual flames control life and death, hence the alias Life-Death Flame.
"Gate of Life and Death, Gate of Life and Death, screw your Gate of Life and Death!!" Xiao Yan never imagined that Yun Potian could be so straightforward with naming! Just because it contains the Yin-Yang Life-Death Flame, it's called the Gate of Life and Death.
Xiao Yan regretted it because when Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement three years ago, Ge Ye had promised Xiao Yan that he could enter the Yunlan Sect as a core disciple and enjoy the Yunlan Sect's highest priority resources.
They were practically spoon-feeding him! In other words, if Xiao Yan had agreed at the time, he wouldn't have had to risk searching everywhere. Although the final result was good, looking back, it was extremely dangerous, and he could have died with a single misstep! If heaven gave Xiao Yan another chance, then Xiao Yan would say: Let me into the Gate of Life and Death! "Your own sect has a Strange Flame, why did Gu He run to Medusa to find one?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled. Wasn't this going the long way around?
Nalan Yanran said unhappily, "Not just anyone can enter the Gate of Life and Death. Only those who can trigger a reaction from the Gate of Life and Death can enter. I am the only one in this generation who can trigger it. Moreover, no one who has entered the Gate of Life and Death in the past has ever reached the fifth gate. I am the first."
Speaking of this, Nalan Yanran also had a little pride. She was the number one person in the Yunlan Sect.
Xiao Yan coughed lightly twice, touched his nose, and asked a little embarrassedly, "If I want to enter the Gate of Life and Death, I wonder if it's possible."
"You?!"
