Unable to Keep Mandarin Ducks and Phoenixes Together

"Nine Dragons Thunder Flame?! Isn't that the Burning Flame Valley's inherited flame? How could it be on Xiao Yan!" Lin Lao's eyes widened. Could it be that this Xiao Yan found a second mature Nine Dragons Thunder Flame? Theoretically, the probability of two Strange Flames ranked in the bottom ten being born in the same era is relatively high, but that's just in theory. In reality, the Gu Clan, Flame Clan, and Medicine Clan have searched the entire Dou Qi Continent, and the result was nothing, let alone the top ten.

Ling Quan also recognized it, his face changed drastically, and he was horrified. Although this Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body only has the strength of a Three Star Dou Zong, the pressure it gives him is even greater than that of an ordinary Six Star Dou Zong!

Xiao Yan's Lightning Illusion Body had a serious face, not smiling at all, a stark contrast to his main body. With a shuu sound, it didn't give Ling Quan time to be surprised. As a clone of the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body, his use of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement was even more amazing than if he had cultivated it to perfection.

Lightning surged beneath his feet, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning flashed. In that instant, 'Xiao Yan's' speed was unbelievably fast.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had already appeared in front of Ling Quan. At this time, Xiao Yan's fist was as fast as light. The Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body emphasized 'speed'! With a flash of lightning, he threw a punch, aiming straight for Ling Quan's head!

Although Ling Quan didn't receive the Gu Clan's surname, he was still one of the Gu Clan's leaders, leading a team of the Gu Clan. With a drastic change in expression, a zheng zheng zheng sound rang out. He subconsciously activated the black armor on his body at this critical moment, and instantly the armor covered him.

The black armor on Ling Quan's body naturally had a great origin. After reaching the Dou Zong realm, he naturally obtained better armor.

However, the force of 'Xiao Yan's' punch was fierce and swift, and it also carried the soul-shaking power of the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame!

With a ka sound, Ling Quan's helmet was smashed by the punch, his forehead was injured, and blood dripped down. Just a little bit more, and his head would have been blown apart! If he hadn't been wearing divine armor and activated the armor's protection in time, he would have died under this punch. This time, Ling Quan was frightened.

Is this really a clone with only one-third of the cultivation!! "Leader Ling Quan!"

"Impudent!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Quan's subordinates shouted sharply. These subordinates were also stronger than they were at Canaan Academy. The weakest were all Advanced Dou Huang, and there were even a few One Star Dou Zong.

More than a dozen people attacked at the same time. As soon as these Black Submerging Army members attacked, they used their Magic Core weapons to directly slash at Xiao Yan's Lightning Illusion Body.

These Black Submerging Army members were not vegetarians. Not only did they use Earth Rank Dou Techniques, but they also formed formations with each other, making their power even greater.

"Get lost!" In that instant, Xiao Yan's Lightning Illusion Body's eyes were sinister, his hostility soared, his killing intent was like a rainbow, and with a loud shout, nine silver lightning dragons surged out of his body!

The Lightning Illusion Body's whole body was like a sea of lightning. The nine silver lightning dragons rushed up with a destructive aura. Such overbearing thunder made the faces of the two Elders change.

In that instant, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the nine dragons roared out, a very domineering move!

Nine dragons appeared together, displaying a myriad of phenomena! Like thousands of thunderbolts, the entire space was filled with the power of lightning.

Boom boom boom!!! Deafening thunder sounded in the sky. If you listened carefully, you could find that this thunder was actually mixed with a Dragon's Roar!

In terms of destructive power, the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame is the most amazing destructive power among the many Strange Flames that Xiao Yan now possesses! Boom boom boom, under the lightning and thunder, the black armor of the Black Submerging Army members was shattered. Under the thunder released by Xiao Yan's Lightning Illusion Body, the Black Submerging Army's black armor and weapons were like paper.

"Is this really the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body!" Lin Lao had naturally seen the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body, and he had seen it at Thunder Venerable's place.

But he could be sure that Thunder Venerable's Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body when he was a Five Star Dou Zong was definitely not this terrifying! The average Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body can only be used to deceive people and avoid attacks.

Taking advantage of the Black Submerging Army's cannon fodder to block, Ling Quan also took the opportunity to distance himself. But 'Xiao Yan' didn't give him a chance at all. The Three Thousand Lightning Movement was activated again, and he instantly appeared in front of Ling Quan.

This speed surprised Ling Quan a little. Logically speaking, the Three Thousand Lightning Movement was only an Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Technique, how could it be so ridiculously fast!

"Mountain Splitting Seal!" Ling Quan shouted loudly.

The speed of this Lightning Illusion Body shocked Ling Quan. His hand seals were completed quickly, and then he slammed out a palm! Facing the Earth Rank High-Level Dou Technique, the Lightning Illusion Body's expression didn't change at all, and he still threw a punch directly.

Boom!!! The fists and palms collided, thunder continued, and terrifying lightning exploded, engulfing Ling Quan.

A flash of lightning passed, and a black shadow flew out of the sea of lightning, naturally it was Ling Quan. At this time, Ling Quan's hair was electrocuted into an afro, his face was black, and the black armor on his body was shattered, but his eyes were bright and the corners of his mouth were raised.

Because the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body had one of its arms shattered by his Mountain Splitting Seal.

Zi Yan, who was full, curled her lips and said, "The way he looks, people who don't know would think he defeated a Dou Di."

Hearing Zi Yan's sharp tongue, even Xun Er and Little Fairy Doctor smiled.

Ling Quan's face darkened when he heard this. That's right! He only blew up one arm of the clone, what's there to be happy about! He wanted to defeat Xiao Yan! With a boom, the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body attacked again. For the clone, there was no concept of a broken arm. The remaining arm surged out with a punch, and a silver dragon roared out on the fist, as if a True Dragon was born.

"Damn it! Sea Flipping Seal!"

Boom!! The lightning exploded again. Although Ling Quan blew up the Lightning Illusion Body's arm again, the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame of the Lightning Illusion Body exploded, shattering all the black armor on Ling Quan's body.

The Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body fused with the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame was a bomb! Seeing the scene in the sky, the two black-clothed old men slowly nodded, and then sighed.

Xiao Yan truly relied on himself to cultivate to this point step by step. There was no so-called Dou Di Bloodline, and even less the inheritance of a Dou Di family. This kind of person with a tenacious character will go very far on the road of cultivation in the future, farther than both of them.

And this tenacity is something that all Dou Di families do not have.

"Ling Quan, this kid, has brought this upon himself this time."

"Alas, but after all, Ling Quan is also a member of our Gu Clan, cultivating the Gu Clan's Cultivation Method and Dou Technique, but he was forced into this state by a clone of Xiao Yan."

A wave of emotions washed over the two elders. Xiao Yan was a year older than Xun Er, making him several years younger than Ling Quan. Six years ago, Xiao Yan, despite being more than a major realm behind Ling Quan, could still defeat him. Now that they were at the same level, Xiao Yan's strength was utterly overwhelming.

Ling Quan's face contorted hideously, his eyes bloodshot, making him look particularly terrifying.

"Secret technique?"

Sensing the sudden surge in Ling Quan's aura, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. Ling Quan's momentum soared from a Five Star Dou Zong all the way to a Seven Star Dou Zong, a greater boost than even most Earth Rank High-Level secret techniques could provide! "Blood Transformation Skill? This guy is really desperate, actually using such a self-destructive secret technique." Lin Lao exclaimed, not expecting Ling Quan to be pushed to such an extreme!

"Die! Ancient Dragon Spear!" Ling Quan roared, his eyes scarlet as he unleashed a black spear towards the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body.

The black spear shot forth like a black dragon, roaring as it pierced through the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body with a deafening boom. Immediately, a thunderous explosion erupted, countless bolts of lightning frantically bombarding Ling Quan's body.

As the lightning faded, Ling Quan, his body charred black, burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Xiao Yan, your Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body is nothing more than this! Come out and fight me!"

Anyone could see that Ling Quan was at his limit, not to mention the side effects that would emerge after using the secret technique.

"Ling Quan, oh Ling Quan, I thought you would have grown in the six years since I last saw you, but it seems you haven't even met half of my expectations. You've truly disgraced the Gu Clan." Xiao Yan shook his head and snapped his fingers.

The moment his fingers snapped, Ling Quan's expression changed drastically. A gray bolt of lightning flashed through his body, instantly causing his meridians to feel as if they were tearing apart.

"Ahhh!!!" Ling Quan screamed miserably as he plummeted from the sky.

"My Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body was just a trap, and you couldn't even see through that, charging straight into it. Alas, I overestimated you." Xiao Yan sighed. He had originally wanted to use Ling Quan to test a new Dou Technique and gauge its effectiveness, but he was too straightforward and fell for it, leaving Xiao Yan quite perplexed.

After borrowing the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame, Xiao Yan not only improved his cultivation and tempered his Soul, but more importantly, he refined the gray lightning from the Strange Flame Poison Pill, storing it within the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame.

This Heavenly Punishment was incredibly terrifying, or rather, it was a type of poison, a curse that would integrate into one's Dou Qi upon contact. Once Dou Qi was used, the entire body would feel as if it were being torn apart, a permanent lightning-based poison.

Seeing the screaming Ling Quan, the two elders looked at Xiao Yan with immense dread. Was this what he called sparing his life? Even they wouldn't dare to touch that gray lightning lightly; ordinary Dou Zun would likely be unable to dispel it.

Without a Dou Sheng's intervention, Xiao Yan had essentially crippled Ling Quan! But why would a Dou Sheng risk helping Ling Quan?

"Ling Quan is finished."

"Yeah, he'll probably even lose his position as commander and be reduced to a common clansman."

The two elders couldn't help but gulp. This kid seemed all smiles on the surface, but he was ruthless when he struck. Clearly, Xiao Yan held a grudge against Ling Quan.

Before long, the side effects of Ling Quan's secret technique kicked in, and he fainted.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Lao gathered up the Black Submerging Army that had been defeated by a single clone of Xiao Yan. This was truly a disgrace to the Gu Clan. An entire Black Submerging Army couldn't defeat a single clone! Shameful!

After watching the spectacle, Xiao Yan took Xun Er's Jade Hand and said softly, "Can you stay for a couple more days?"

Seeing the pleading look in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xun Er's beautiful eyes softened, and she nodded, smiling. "How could Xun Er refuse Young Master Xiao Yan's invitation?"

For the remaining two days, Little Fairy Doctor used the excuse of needing to seclude herself for Pill Refining and didn't disturb Xiao Yan too much, leaving the two of them with their remaining time.

During those two days, the two seemed to return to their days in Wutan City, strolling through the Town Market and observing the myriad aspects of city life.

They bought snacks from street vendors, and when they tasted something bad, they made strange faces. When they found something delicious, they shared it. When Xun Er saw exquisite jewelry, she would look at Xiao Yan, who would pretend not to notice.

For these two days, neither of them discussed anything about the outside world, instead exploring the bustling beauty of Ye City and its local customs.

Time was too short to fully appreciate the world's splendor. Ye City was too small to keep the loving couple.

It wasn't that they didn't love each other enough, but the world was too unpredictable for lasting happiness.

"Wait for me in the Gu Clan, I will definitely come." Xiao Yan hugged Xun Er tightly, saying softly.

Looking at Xiao Yan's earnest expression, Xun Er smiled sweetly and nodded her fair chin. "Xun Er has always believed in Young Master Xiao Yan."

With those words, Xun Er took a deep look at Xiao Yan and didn't linger any longer. Her delicate body moved, and she leaped into the sky, landing gently on the head of the Four-Winged Unicorn. Her hair fluttered in the wind, making her look like an ethereal fairy, her aura so otherworldly that it left people feeling dazed.

Then, Xun Er looked at Little Fairy Doctor not far away, their eyes meeting as if they were having a conversation.

Little Fairy Doctor parted her red lips slightly and transmitted her voice, "Don't worry, I won't let him get hurt."

Hearing Little Fairy Doctor's promise, Xun Er felt relieved and nodded.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, take care. No matter what, you must be safe." Xun Er looked deeply at her beloved, praying in her heart.

Then, space twisted, and Xun Er and the others disappeared.

In the spatial passage, after leaving Ye City, the two elders who were carrying the still unconscious Ling Quan and the others wore solemn expressions.

"Lin Lao, is something wrong?" Xun Er asked, her usual aloofness returning.

"Miss... we suspect that Young Master Xiao Yan is connected to the Soul Palace."

With a sudden opening of her eyes, Xun Er coldly gazed at the two individuals. At this moment, a faint mark flickered on Xun Er's forehead, emitting a soft, colorful light.

Thump thump! The two Dou Zun Elders were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

"Miss, please forgive us!"

"Hmph!" Xun Er coldly snorted, and said in a cold voice, "The Xiao Clan was destroyed by the Soul Clan. How could Xiao Yan-gege possibly collude with the Soul Palace! Even if you two are Elders, if you spread such rumors, I will punish you severely!"

"Miss, please forgive us! It must be that we were short-sighted and mistook him for someone else."

"That's right, how could Young Master Xiao Yan have anything to do with the Soul Palace? We must be getting senile."

Xun Er flicked her sleeves and slowly closed her eyes to begin cultivating.

After learning about Xiao Yan's strength, Xun Er no longer intended to slow down her cultivation speed. Because of the clan's secret technique, her Dou Di Bloodline had been brewing since she was young, so her cultivation speed was not as fast as those geniuses in the clan.

After returning to the Gu Clan six years ago, Xun Er began to activate her Dou Di Bloodline, and her cultivation began to accelerate. However, this was not complete. She needed to reach Dou Sheng before the bloodline in her body would be fully stimulated.

Before reaching Dou Sheng, she needed to maintain her virginity. She was now a Nine Star Dou Zong, and her goal was to reach Dou Sheng in three years!

Xiao Yan stood quietly in place, motionless. After about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yan regained his senses.

"Little Fairy Doctor, what about that Smoke Serpent Venerable? It's time to deal with him." After Xiao Yan regained his senses, Flame Venerable returned! Starting work mode!

"He's in the basement of the Ye Residence, where I've used poison to seal his Dou Qi and immobilize him," Little Fairy Doctor said.

In the basement of the Ye Residence, a dying giant serpent lay on the cold stone bricks. Seeing Xiao Yan enter, the serpent slowly opened its eyes, its pair of yellow serpent pupils staring at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan... let me go, and I won't pursue this matter. Otherwise, the Nine Serene Earthly Underworld Serpent Race will definitely hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"

Hearing the weak threat, Xiao Yan's face showed disgust, and he said, "I was originally thinking that if I heard you begging for mercy when I came in, I would spare your life, as long as you became Qing Lin's serpent slave for ten years."

"But now... alas, you old things are too self-righteous. What is the Nine Serene Earthly Underworld Serpent Race? I will go to that Yellow Spring Mountain Range sooner or later, but you won't have the chance to see it."

Xiao Yan nodded to Qing Lin beside him. Qing Lin walked in front of the Smoke Serpent Venerable's true form. Instantly, a three-flower pattern appeared in her azure eyes, and a dazzling azure light shot out from Qing Lin's eyes!

"You want to control me! You're dreaming!" Smoke Serpent Venerable shouted, his body struggling and shaking, causing the entire ground to tremble slightly.

"Little Fairy Doctor, poison his Dou Qi until he's a One Star Dou Zun." It was still too difficult for Qing Lin's cultivation to control a Three Star Dou Zun.

Little Fairy Doctor formed a hand seal, and the Calamity Poison in Smoke Serpent Venerable's body began to corrode his flesh and Dou Qi. Smoke Serpent Venerable's cultivation level continued to decline, all the way to the early stage of One Star Dou Zun.

"Ahhh! No!!"

Buzz!!! Qing Lin didn't hold back at all. She knew that her Young Master had racked his brains to help her improve her strength, and she couldn't waste it! With a crack, a third Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils suddenly appeared on Qing Lin's forehead. The next second, the light stung the soul, and even Xiao Yan had to use his Soul power to resist the light.

"So strong. If I hadn't reached the Spirit Realm Soul power and had my Soul tempered by the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame, I would have lost my mind for a while!"

The Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils was not only able to control the Serpent Clan, its azure light could cause people to lose their minds briefly or even hallucinate, which was very powerful.

"No!!" With a scream from Smoke Serpent Venerable, his eyes changed from yellow to azure, replaced by a touch of azure light, and three petals appeared on his forehead, quickly hiding away.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, I succeeded!" Qing Lin immediately danced with joy, very excited. She had actually successfully controlled an Eighth Rank Serpent Clan member!! "Thank you, Young Master!"

"You're thanking the wrong person. This is Little Fairy Doctor's credit. I didn't do anything." Xiao Yan shook his head and pointed to Little Fairy Doctor, who was silently contributing.

"Thank you, Fairy Doctor-jiejie." Qing Lin walked up to Little Fairy Doctor with a bright smile.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. This is all your own ability." Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, like a gentle breeze.

"Alright, alright, I'm useless, okay." Xiao Yan spread his hands helplessly and said, "Qing Lin, you go back to cultivate first. A One Star Dou Zun will be very helpful to you now. If you can absorb his cultivation and Beast Skill, your cultivation will improve quickly."

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Yan." Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yan, then at Little Fairy Doctor, her eyes sparkling as if hinting at something.
