Chapter 149: Yao Lao Asks Xiao Yan for Assistance?
Medicine Emperor Han Feng looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a young man, who had appeared in the Void Realm at some unknown time.
The man was looking at him with great interest.
In one of his hands, he was playing with a small flame python, which was incredibly docile in his hand.
Fallen Heart Flame.
Medicine Emperor Han Feng immediately recognized that the small python was precisely the Heavenly Flame he had been longing for.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Han Feng spoke in a deep voice.
"Me?"
"Speaking of which, we have some connection. I should be considered your junior brother..."
The young man spoke casually.
Upon hearing this, Han Feng's pupils sharply contracted.
Behind the young man, a cold, white flame suddenly rose again.
"Senior Brother, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with this flame, right..."
Bone-chilling Flame and Fallen Heart Flame, both Heavenly Flames, were as docile as kittens in the young man's hands.
Under normal circumstances, an Alchemist could only subdue one Heavenly Flame.
Now, this young man, however, had mastered two Heavenly Flames. And one of them was precisely the Heavenly Flame that Medicine Saint once possessed: Bone-chilling Flame.
"Flame Mantra, it's the Flame Mantra! That old undying one actually didn't die and even passed the Flame Mantra to you..."
Han Feng looked like a madman, gazing at the two Heavenly Flames on the young man's body; the jealousy in his heart almost materialized.
The unease that had always been hidden deep within his heart spread throughout his entire body.
Flame Mantra.
He felt the aura of the Flame Mantra on this young man. It was even more pure and authentic than the cultivation technique he cultivated.
But in order to obtain this cultivation technique, he had not hesitated to secretly harm his own teacher, only to end up with an incomplete manual of the cultivation technique.
And it was that incomplete manual that allowed him to subdue the Sea Heart Flame!
This young man, however, possessed the complete Flame Mantra.
An unprecedented surge of furious killing intent erupted from Han Feng's heart, overwhelming him.
"Senior Brother is indeed Senior Brother... That's right, Teacher did pass the complete Flame Mantra to me..."
The young man continued to chuckle softly. His tone carried a hint of mockery.
"What is your name!"
Han Feng looked at the young man with icy eyes, a chilling killing intent pervading the sky.
"Xiao Yan!"
As Xiao Yan spoke his name, he also cast his gaze towards Han Feng. Their gazes collided, their eyes intertwined, overflowing with sparks of killing intent.
The entire world seemed to fall silent for a moment. Only these two figures remained.
Xiao Yan looked at Han Feng, whose face was filled with killing intent, and flicked his finger. A green flame, like a mischievous elf, danced playfully before him.
"Want to kill me?"
"With your strength as a Dou Huang... I'm afraid it's not enough!"
A terrifying aura instantly surged from Xiao Yan's body. The Sect Master figures of various major forces behind Han Feng could not withstand this aura and fell to the ground like dumplings.
"Dou Zong!"
The golden-robed and silver-robed figures in the Void Realm exclaimed in horror after feeling this aura.
The Golden and Silver Elders, the top two powerhouses on the Black Corner Region's Black Ranking. These two were twin brothers, and their cultivation technique was exactly the same.
If they were separated, their strength would only be comparable to a Dou Huang Peak powerhouse.
But if they faced an enemy together, forming a complementary stance, they would have a considerable chance of victory even against a Dou Zong powerhouse.
Therefore, their reputation among the powerhouses of the Black Corner Region was extremely well-known.
Facing the oppressive aura from Xiao Yan, they clasped their left and right hands tightly, and an extremely powerful light-green Dou Qi burst forth!
The Dou Qi's intensity had astonishingly reached the Dou Zong Realm.
However, in the next instant, Xiao Yan merely glanced at them indifferently, and an unimaginable pressure bore down on them.
"Pfft!"
Mr. Golden and Silver instantly coughed up blood, falling from the Void Realm and crashing to the ground, their life or death unknown... fate unknown...
"Hiss..."
The people of Jia Nan Academy were astonished at this scene.
Instantly killing the Golden and Silver Elders, who were comparable to Dou Zong?
If he could instantly kill the Golden and Silver Elders, wouldn't he also be able to instantly kill the Grand Elder?
This strength was truly terrifying!
The Golden and Silver Elders were renowned in the Black Corner Region. In the hearts of many Jia Nan Academy students, and even teachers, they were unattainable figures.
Now, such people were instantly killed by Xiao Yan with a single glance.
Xiao Yan's strength was even more formidable.
Xiao Yan casually took step after step in the Void Realm, then walked in front of Han Feng.
He extended a hand and placed it on Han Feng's shoulder.
As if chatting casually, he said: "Thanks to you, I met Teacher, otherwise my cultivation path would probably have been much less exciting..."
An unprecedented fear spread throughout Han Feng's body.
One was because of Xiao Yan's power. The Golden and Silver Elders, working together, could contend with Dou Zong powerhouses, and Su Qian couldn't even defeat them, but in front of Xiao Yan, the Golden and Silver Elders were like ants.
They couldn't even withstand his pressure. This showed how powerful Xiao Yan was. He was powerless to resist him.
The second was because Medicine Saint was not dead.
As Medicine Saint's former disciple, Han Feng clearly knew what kind of influence Medicine Saint had on the continent back then.
Even now, those top powerhouses on the continent still remembered the Medicine Saint who once dominated the continent.
Moreover, Medicine Saint had an extremely good reputation among those peak powerhouses.
Especially Wind Saint.
Medicine Saint had disappeared, but Wind Saint was still tirelessly searching for his whereabouts.
Han Feng's face, which was originally filled with killing intent, was immediately replaced by an unusual paleness.
"I begged that old undying one so hard, but he refused to pass the Flame Mantra to me. He actually passed this cultivation technique to you..."
There was an undisguised jealousy and resentment in Han Feng's voice.
"But if he had passed the Flame Mantra to me, I would still have treated him with respect. Who blames that old undying one for having bad eyes... Doesn't he understand my talent!"
He roared hoarsely, and after roaring, he looked at Xiao Yan with an obsessed expression.
"Dou Zong, Dou Zong... My decision back then was not wrong. You were able to reach the Dou Zong Realm today precisely because of the Flame Mantra. If he had passed the Flame Mantra to me—I would have become a Dou Venerate, or even a Dou Saint, by now..."
Han Feng was somewhat hysterical.
He believed that Xiao Yan's ability to breakthrough to the Dou Zong Realm at such a young age was definitely due to the Flame Mantra.
Xiao Yan shook his head and chuckled softly, the two Heavenly Flames, one green and one white, in his hand gradually approached, then merged together.
"A beast who betrays his teacher is also qualified to say such words?"
"Since you like the Flame Mantra so much, and you like Heavenly Flames so much... Then let you die under the Flame Mantra, just to cleanse the sect for Teacher!"
The two Heavenly Flames intertwined. An unusual temperature instantly permeated the world. Streaks of flame flickered like lightning.
An unprecedented life-and-death crisis enveloped Han Feng. Fear and fanaticism coexisted on his face.
Heavenly Flame Fusion.
As an Alchemist, Han Feng knew that after the two flames merged, their power would multiply, but the inherent nature of flames was difficult to control.
Each had its own characteristics. Therefore, their compatibility was extremely low. Forcibly merging them would result in self-destruction.
He had experimented with it when he had a whim. However, after multiple failures, he could only give up.
But now, he saw this method appearing on Xiao Yan's body. This must be the credit of the Flame Mantra.
"Flame Mantra, Flame Mantra... So what if that old thing is alive? Such a powerful Flame Mantra, he deliberately refused to pass it to me... And he hypocritically said it was for my own good!"
Facing death, Han Feng became even more frantic, his words filled with covetousness for the Flame Mantra and hatred for Yao Lao.
"I only regret that I couldn't completely pulverize that old thing back then. I hate it, ah, if I had obtained the complete Flame Mantra back then, I wouldn't have fallen to such a state today..."
Hearing him say this, the killing intent in Xiao Yan's eyes intensified. He was about to act and completely obliterate Han Feng, to cleanse the sect...
A sigh suddenly echoed in his ear.
"Alas... Little Yanzi, stop..."
Yao Lao's figure materialized, his face complex as he looked at the maddened Han Feng.
Memories vaguely returned to a very, very long time ago. When he first picked up Han Feng, how obedient he was when he was little.
It's a pity that later...
Han Feng looked at the old figure that appeared before him, and countless memories flashed before his eyes.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words.
"Old thing... You really are still alive!"
"Teacher..." Xiao Yan looked at the appearing Yao Lao, speaking in confusion, thinking that Yao Lao had softened. He couldn't bear to kill Han Feng.
After all, Han Feng had once carried all of Yao Lao's hopes.
Yao Lao waved his hand:
"Today, let me personally put an end to this evil creature, to make up for the mistakes I once made..."
"He didn't freeze to death on that snowy day, so today I will personally send him off!"
Yao Lao's words were filled with chilling killing intent. He wasn't softening. Instead, he wanted to personally cleanse the sect.
Han Feng was indeed his favorite disciple in the past, no mistake.
But Yao Lao wasn't cheap either. Being betrayed once, and then being called an old undying one at every turn...
If he still couldn't bear to see Han Feng die, then he deserved to fall.
In the original work, when Yao Lao and Xiao Yan met Han Feng, Yao Lao's soul state was very poor.
It was difficult for him to even lend power to Xiao Yan to deal with Han Feng, let alone personally cleanse the sect.
But now, following Xiao Yan, he ate and drank well every day. His Soul Power was incredibly strong.
With the ability to seek revenge himself, Yao Lao naturally didn't want to rely on others.
"Medicine Saint..."
Grand Elder Su Qian and others looked at the scene unfolding before them in astonishment.
They never expected that today they would also witness such a good show of teacher-disciple ethics.
"You release the restraints on him, and I will personally deal with him... Although this old man is an Alchemist, I also know a little about fist and foot combat!"
"Also, ahem, Little Yanzi, lend me some power..."
Yao Lao rolled up his sleeves and said.
Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then he burst into laughter and tears.
Before, it was always him borrowing power from Yao Lao, asking the old man for assistance.
He never expected that now it was Yao Lao asking him for power.
"Heaven and Earth's fire, follow my will... Command all fires, Fire Emperor is supreme..."
Xiao Yan did not hesitate; he summoned the newly subdued Fallen Heart Flame and Bone-chilling Flame. The two Heavenly Flames, one red and one white, merged, then formed a spiritual body!
"Teacher, this spiritual body can be temporarily used by you, so that you can exert greater power..."
Xiao Yan said.
Yao Lao did not hesitate upon hearing this, and directly entered the Heavenly Flame spiritual body.
Han Feng also regained his freedom at this time. He gritted his teeth and looked at Yao Lao:
"Old undying one, if I can kill you once... I can kill you a second time!"
Surging Dou Qi appeared in his hand, and the Sea Heart Flame emerged from his body. He charged towards Yao Lao with an incredibly powerful Dou Qi pressure.
Xiao Yan's strength was too terrifying. He couldn't even think of resisting.
Yao Lao was his only chance.
Yao Lao had lost his physical body, only a soul body remained. Just like a lion with its teeth pulled out.
If Han Feng could defeat him, he could use him to make Xiao Yan hesitate. He might even be able to force out the Flame Mantra.
As for the fact that Yao Lao was his teacher, Han Feng didn't care at all. Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had betrayed his teacher and ancestors.
"You haven't even advanced to Dou Zong after all this time. It seems you didn't gain much from betraying me..."
Yao Lao looked at this disciple who had betrayed his teacher and ancestors, and the Bone-chilling Flame in his hand instantly flared up.
This was the Heavenly Flame he was most familiar with.
In an instant, the Bone-chilling Flame emitted an invisible fluctuation, and a dazzling beam of light cut through the Void Realm, striking towards Han Feng with terrifying power.
The surging Dou Qi in Han Feng's hand vibrated violently. He was also brewing a peerless killing move. The energy of the teacher and disciple flashed through space like lightning.
Then, like meteorites, they collided.
"Bang!"
Terrifying thunderous roars and energy ripples rose like huge waves in the ocean, creating energy waves.
Yao Lao arrived beside Han Feng in the blink of an eye. His Soul Power was strong, and he also had Xiao Yan's borrowed power.
The power that this temporary Heavenly Flame body could exert was among the best in the Dou Zong Realm.
How could Han Feng be his opponent?
After one strike, Han Feng's hair was already disheveled, his breathing rapid, and his aura had weakened considerably.
This was still the result of Yao Lao deliberately holding back.
Yao Lao came to Han Feng's side, raised his leg, and kicked Han Feng fiercely. Terrifying Dou Qi poured out.
"This kick, I kick you for betraying your teacher and ancestors..."
Han Feng was instantly sent flying into mid-air by him. Yao Lao followed like a shadow, instantly getting half a step ahead of Han Feng.
Then, a fierce elbow strike.
"Shh!"
Han Feng coughed up blood in mid-air, his body plummeting rapidly, a cry of pain escaping his throat.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, Yao Lao's figure appeared again, kicking him flying once more.
"I picked you up in the blizzard, taught you cultivation technique, and taught you the art of Alchemy. I believe I never owed you anything..."
"Not teaching you the Flame Mantra was because I was afraid you would suffer Qi Deviation... Who knew you would do something so treacherous as betraying your teacher and ancestors for a cultivation technique..."
"Everything you have was bestowed by me... So what if I didn't teach you the Flame Mantra? Without me, you would have frozen to death long ago..."
"Greedy and ungrateful... This old man will personally cleanse the sect today!"
Yao Lao's voice, suppressing his anger, rang out, and his movements did not stop at all. Every punch and kick landed on Han Feng's body.
He beat him like a broken sack! He said he would use his fists and feet, and he did.
Finally, a cold, white flame surged onto his fist, carrying an incredibly fierce wind, and Yao Lao slammed his fist hard into Han Feng's chest.
"A rebellious disciple deserves to die!"
A dull thud of flesh colliding sounded.
Han Feng was smashed to the ground, his eyes wide open, unwilling to close in death. Inside his skin, his bones were fractured, and his internal organs and flesh turned into a bloody mess.
"Whoosh..."
After slaying the rebellious disciple, Yao Lao let out a long breath. He only felt that his thoughts were clear.
"Lord Diao and Yan were indeed right, if a path is blocked, open it with your fists..."
During the previous few gatherings, Xiao Yan and the others were having fun together. Their old men were also having fun together.
Yao Lao thought that Yan and Lord Diao were both powerhouses from different worlds, and must have unique insights.
Therefore, he humbly learned from them.
And it's true. He really learned something valuable.
