Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

"Are you a snake-man?"

Chapter 146 Obtaining the Fragmented Map!

Xiao Yang then leisurely approached the counter.

He leaned against the counter and slowly began to speak.

"I am not from the snake people, but I have a good relationship with them."

"But none of that matters."

"The important thing is that I can break the seal on you."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang's mind moved, and a colorful scale appeared in his hand.

If you look closely, you can see that there are eight colors on this scale.

As Xiao Yang took out the scales, Hai Bodong unconsciously trembled.

He could feel the familiar scent emanating from the scale.

Although it was somewhat different from when I encountered it before.

However, the scent on this scale is indeed that of Medusa herself.

Moreover, I don't know if it's just my imagination, or if my strength is sealed.

The aura that Hai Bodong sensed was a level stronger than the aura that Medusa had previously emitted!

After a long silence, Hai Bodong's breathing began to calm down, and the room was no longer as cold as before.

What are your terms?

After calming down, Hai Bodong slowly asked.

He looked at the scales that Xiao Yang was playing with in his hand, his eyes filled with longing.

"It's simple, protect my family for three years."

"You will be free in three years."

"And, the remaining half of the drawing."

Xiao Yang's goal was simple: to find a bodyguard for the Xiao family.

According to him, he would be protected by Medusa for a year.

As for a year later...

Xiao Yang didn't think that a year later, his strength would be much weaker than Medusa's.

"Impossible, three years is too long."

Hai Bodong refused without the slightest hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang's face showed an indifferent expression.

"Since we can't reach an agreement, then let's not talk about it anymore?"

As he spoke, the colorful scales on his hand vanished instantly.

Hai Bodong's face darkened as he looked at the disappearing scales.

"Aren't you afraid I'll just take it by force?"

As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Hai Bodong's eyes.

The surrounding temperature began to drop again.

Xiao Yang's expression remained unchanged at this moment.

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes as he looked at Hai Bodong.

"You can give it a try."

As he spoke, he removed Medusa's scales again.

"The item is right here. If you can grab it, it's yours."

Watching the colorful scales constantly turning between Xiao Yang's fingers, Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes and gave Xiao Yang a deep look.

As time went on, Hai Bodong's killing intent grew stronger and stronger, and the surrounding temperature began to slowly drop.

The shelves next to it were already starting to freeze.

The next moment, Hai Bodong's killing intent suddenly erupted.

His fighting spirit began to surge rapidly.

However, Xiao Yang had already seen all of this.

With his True Sight, he had long ago discerned the direction of the flow of fighting spirit within Hai Bodong's body.

Watching Hai Bodong's body, the fighting spirit located in the main meridians began to slowly flow to other meridians.

Also, the movement of the muscles on Hai Bodong's body.

Xiao Yang knew that he was about to make his move.

Suddenly, Hai Bodong leaped over the counter and charged towards Xiao Yang.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his head.

A sharp pain swept through my entire body.

The flowing fighting spirit suddenly stopped.

The next moment, two puppets appeared out of nowhere and pinned Hai Bodong to the ground.

When Hai Bodong recovered, Xiao Yang was still standing in the same spot, playing with the colorful scales in his hand.

His face was full of mockery at this moment.

Hai Bodong felt as if two mountains were pressing down on him.

He can't even get a chance to participate in any activities he wants.

Looking down at Xiao Yang, who was looking down at him, Hai Bodong felt a pang of regret.

He originally thought that even if Xiao Yang had a backup plan, even if his own strength was sealed, he could still win.

However, with my abilities, I am confident that I can quickly subdue Xiao Yang and obtain the scales from him at such close range.

“I agree to your terms and will protect your family for three years.”

Hai Bodong, who was being held captive, was helpless, and his eyes dimmed.

Looking at Hai Bodong's aggrieved expression, Xiao Yang's face was full of mockery.

"You've already taken action, do you still think the price won't change?"

"Now, you need to protect my family for six years."

"you!"

Hai Bodong's eyes were filled with anger. He was about to lash out when he was firmly held down by the two Fighting King puppets.

"What makes you think that the conditions will remain unchanged after taking action?"

"The extra three years are the price you pay for your actions."

"Humph!"

"You little brat, how dare you play me!"

"If I don't make the deal with you, you can forget about getting the rest of the map!"

"You must value this strange fire quite a bit, right?"

Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yang and said coldly.

Xiao Yang was on the verge of collapse.

"I think most cultivators, especially the strong ones."

"In their view, the safest place is where they are."

“They can’t just store precious things anywhere.”

"The safest thing is still your own storage ring."

What do you think?

With each word Xiao Yang uttered, Hai Bodong's face grew darker.

Xiao Yang's True Sight saw all of this.

Seeing Hai Bodong's emotions, Xiao Yang knew that his guess was correct.

"Six years it is, I promise you."

After saying that, a hint of helplessness flashed in Hai Bodong's eyes.

Upon seeing Hai Bodong agree, Xiao Yang moved his mind, and the two Fighting King puppets released Hai Bodong and slowly came to Xiao Yang's side.

"Give me the other half of the remaining drawing."

"Then I will break the seal for you."

Hai Bodong didn't hesitate and took out the other half of the map from his storage ring, handing it to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang has already guessed the location of the remaining map; he can easily take it by force.

The map of the strange fire was indeed of little use to him.

Moreover, it's a still image.

Even if you sell it to someone else, you might not be able to get a high price.

At this moment, Hai Bodong did not know which kind of strange fire was recorded in the fragment of the strange fire diagram.

However, he could also roughly tell that this fragment was only a quarter of the original and probably wouldn't fetch a high price.

This is also due to limitations in intelligence.

If he knew that this fragmented map was a map showing the location of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which ranks third on the Ranking of Different Flames, he probably wouldn't have thought that way.

As Xiao Yang took the fragment, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Quest: Obtain a fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map. Reward: Random Strange Flame Map. Completed. Claim reward?]

Unfortunately, it can only be considered as completing one task; the bug was not successfully exploited.

However, Xiao Yang was not annoyed.

It's good that there's a reward.

After putting away the remnants of the demonic fire map, Xiao Yang took Medusa's scales and came to Hai Bodong's side.

He pressed the scales onto Hai Bodong's body and began to chant "Yidu" (a type of magical energy), injecting it into him according to Medusa's teachings.

Chapter 147 A New Different Flame!

As Xiao Yang infused his fighting spirit into the scales using a special method, the scales emitted a burst of colorful light.

Xiao Yang's fighting spirit entered Hai Bodong's body through Medusa's scales.

At the same time, following Medusa's method, he activated a wisp of primordial fire and poured it into it.

This wisp of primordial fire will enter Hai Bodong's body along with Xiao Yang's fighting spirit.

At that time, this spark of primordial fire will lie dormant within Hai Bodong's heart.

Normally, it wouldn't have any impact on Hai Bodong.

Even Hai Bodong himself wouldn't realize it.

As long as Xiao Yang doesn't activate it, Hai Bodong will never feel anything in his life.

However, once Xiao Yang activates it, this wisp of primordial fire will instantly burn Hai Bodong's heart.

Hai Bodong will also be burned to ashes from the inside out.

Xiao Yang only needed to think to activate this wisp of primordial fire.
