Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 146 The Human Emperor Banner

Three days later.

In the sparsely populated mountains, a small wooden house rises.

"They probably wanted to capture you alive. Although the injuries they inflicted on you were severe, they were not fatal. Even the Sword Master's attack avoided your heart."

Su Yun said lightly.

"Thank you so much, Ancestor, for saving my life."

Xiao Yan was covered in bandages, his expression grateful. The ancestor's actions were truly extraordinary, with a constant stream of high-level healing pills.

In just a few days, his injuries were mostly healed, and Senior Tianhuo's soul power also recovered considerably.

Su Yun nodded: "Mm."

Venerable Feng was deeply moved: "To have the successor of the Sword Emperor in my presence is truly an honor."

When the six clans launched a massive manhunt for the Sword Emperor's successor in the Central Plains, Venerable Feng was not interested and only had the Starfall Pavilion put on a show.

Because of his old friend, he had no good feelings towards the ancient races, not to mention the reasons given on the wanted posters.

Xiao Jibai has committed a massacre of the Medicine Clan, offending the Imperial Clan. Therefore, this warrant is issued for his arrest.

The deeds of Yao Xingji and his group at the Pill Tower had already spread far and wide, and alchemists all over the world were applauding and praising the killing!

Su Yun smiled and said, "I was fortunate enough to receive the master's teachings, but it's just an empty title."

Mu Qingluan hid behind Venerable Feng, trembling. The fierce aura emanating from Su Yun made her instinctively feel fear.

Su Yun looked at Xiao Yan: "How is Zi Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed, a look of worry flashing across his face: "I got separated from Zi Yan in the spatial passage, and I don't know what her situation is."

However, she was already out of the eye of the space storm at that time, so hopefully she'll be alright.

"I see."

Su Yun wasn't worried at all. The spatial talent of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was frighteningly high, not to mention that Zi Yan was of royal blood.

Right now, she's probably being fed rare and precious herbs by a group of ancient dragon elders on Donglong Island.

"By the way, how is your tracking of the Dragon-Phoenix Child going?"

Xiao Yan's expression tightened. Compared to the grudges with the six ancient clans, the battle between the Ancestor and the Dragon-Phoenix Son was more important in terms of righteousness, as it concerned the great racial hatred between humans and magical beasts.

"There has been some progress. During this period, I have secretly clashed with him several times, but they were all just probing each other and never really started..."

We are both products of the long-standing feud between the two emperors, and our situations are similar. I want to kill him, and he wants to kill me.

However, we have an unspoken agreement: under no circumstances can outsiders be present during our battles, otherwise it would be a catastrophic disaster for both sides…

Xiao Yan wholeheartedly agreed, as the six ancient clans and the Soul Clan had long coveted the Dou Di's inheritance.

"Then, who do you think has a better chance of winning, you or him?"

Venerable Feng showed interest, and Mu Qingluan pricked up her ears.

Su Yun pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of cultivation, he is stronger. The son of the Dragon and Phoenix is ​​already a half-saint."

"Half Saint!"

Venerable Feng's body trembled, and he said, "Although a half-saint is not a true fighting saint, he is already at the saint realm!"
"Your sword intent is powerful, but your current cultivation level is only at the Seven-Star Dou Zun level."

Su Yun's previous sword strike that split the heavens had already revealed his cultivation level.

Su Yun nodded. Although searching for ruins left him no time to cultivate, he could improve quickly if he could spare a little time.

With the establishment of the Netherworld Valley, cultivation resources such as eighth-order poisons are no longer in short supply.

A look of disbelief flashed across Venerable Feng's face. For an ordinary Dou Zun, facing a Half-Saint, let alone fighting, escaping with one's life was a pipe dream!

"I possess sword skills passed down from my teacher, which I specialize in slaying beastmen."

Su Yun's calm words, though containing a faint killing intent, caused Mu Qingluan's delicate body to tremble. "Compared to the human race's inheritance, demonic beasts place more emphasis on bloodline iteration. In essence, he is just an ancient celestial phoenix, lacking the body of a dragon-phoenix."

Even if their cultivation far surpasses mine, with my sword, the outcome is only fifty-fifty, but…

At this point, a hint of worry flashed across Su Yun's face: "But if he obtains the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, the situation will be very different."

Xiao Yan frowned: "Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit...where exactly is this thing?"
If we can destroy it, then everything will be fine.

"It's easier said than done. The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit contains the lifelong cultivation and bloodline power of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, both of which are powerful warriors."

After ten thousand years of sedimentation and absorption of the essence of heaven and earth, let alone destruction, even taking it requires a specific secret method passed down orally between the two races.

Even I wouldn't dare to entertain such thoughts before I reached the level of a Dou Sheng.

The power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is so great that even ordinary Void Ancient Dragons and Ancient Heavenly Phoenixes who successfully refine it can break through to the Dou Sheng realm and increase their cultivation by several stars.

Moreover, he is the son of a dragon and a phoenix, possessing the discarded bloodline of a dragon and a phoenix; the enhancement he receives will likely be even greater…”

Su Yun said meaningfully.

"Perhaps we can make a move on Feng Qing'er."

The weak voice of Venerable Heavenly Fire could be heard.

"Yes!"

A glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Ancestor, did you notice that there was a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan on the shattered ground of the martial arts arena that day?!"

Her name is Feng Qing'er. Although she originally possessed great talent, it was far from her current level. I suspect her transformation is related to the Dragon-Phoenix Child!

Unexpectedly, Su Yun shook his head: "Do you think I don't want to?"

When I went to rescue you, I immediately sensed Feng Qing'er's presence, but more importantly, the Dragon-Phoenix Child was also lurking nearby.

"what!"

Xiao Yan, Venerable Feng, and the others were shocked and a chill ran down their spines.

Su Yun sneered: "If it weren't for that, Feng Qing'er would have already died by my sword. How could I tolerate her jumping around in front of me?"

Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn: "The Dragon-Phoenix Son values ​​her so much, he must have a grand scheme. We must not let this opportunity slip by!"

"I can't lay a hand on her... otherwise, you'll be in danger too."

Xiao Yan was jolted awake and instantly realized, "Yes, if the Ancestor can be so shameless as to deal with Feng Qing'er, then the Dragon-Phoenix Son can do the same to him!"

Su Yun said, "Soldier against soldier, general against general. It's up to you to find out what secrets Feng Qing'er is hiding."

Xiao Yan's expression was solemn: "Yes!"

"However, your cultivation level is too weak, so it would be better to improve it first."

Xiao Yan's body stiffened. He had been bullied by the six clans, and he had worked hard to cultivate with all his might, but he still did not meet the approval of the patriarch.

With a flick of his sleeve, Su Yun placed nine jade slips on the table.

"These are some secret techniques of the Xiao clan that I have selected, as well as some fire-attribute fighting techniques from my teacher's memory."

"Since you need to conceal your identity, you can't use your original fighting techniques. So practice these instead. There's also the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations technique, created by Clan Chief Xiao Xuan, which is very suitable for you."

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Xiao Yan was overjoyed and quickly put the jade slip away.

"correct!"

He seemed to remember something, and took out two large boxes from his storage ring, saying, "Ancestor, the materials for the Human Emperor Banner that you instructed have been collected!"

Xiao Yan opened the lid, and wisps of black smoke billowed out.
