Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 147 Ling Ying Appears

Amidst the swirling sandstorm, the master and apprentice, one in black and one in white, couldn't hide their joy. Yao Chen stroked his beard and then spoke.

"More importantly, it has just been born, and its power has only just reached the level of a beginner Dou Huang. As for the snake people who might compete with you, they have already moved away. As for the other powerful figures of the Jia Ma Empire, by the time they arrived, I had already subdued them. They are gone and the fire is gone."

As Yao Chen watched the rapidly approaching raging dragon flames, his plan gradually took shape in his mind.

"Little Yanzi, after I subdue him, quickly find a place where I can help you absorb him. Only then can you truly conceal him. Next, release your control over your body, and I will show you what a true powerhouse looks like."

A ball of cold white flame instantly emanated from Xiao Yan's body. When Xiao Yan opened his eyes again, he exuded an aura of vicissitudes.

"My friend who's been following us all this time, I am Yao Chen. Please, for the sake of Xiao Yanzi's relationship with your young lady, lend a helping hand!"

Feeling the remaining soul energy within his body, Yao Chen knew he couldn't consume too much. Otherwise, even if he managed to subdue the strange fire, the intense battle fluctuations would attract the attention of powerful figures around him, and it would be uncertain who would ultimately possess the strange fire.

Thinking of this, Yao Chen no longer adhered to his tacit agreement with Ling Ying and directly revealed his presence. A few moments later, to Xiao Yan's curious gaze, an old man with dark-colored Dou Qi wings slowly appeared not far from him.

"It turns out that the soul that has been following Young Master Xiao Yan is actually Senior Medicine Venerable. I, Ling Ying, have never known you to be a senior. I am truly disrespectful. Please forgive me, senior."

Yao Chen waved his hand slightly, stopping Ling Ying's polite conversation, and looked at the huge burning tornado that was already extremely close, his expression solemn.

"I don't have much power left. After subduing the strange fire, I will need to use my soul power to help Xiao Yanzi absorb it. This time, I ask you to be the main force and make sure to subdue this strange fire in the shortest possible time, lest something unexpected happen if we delay."

"In that case, I will make a fool of myself!"

Ling Ying clasped her hands slightly, then quickly formed hand seals. The vast dark-attribute energy of heaven and earth instantly converged on this place. From a distance, it looked as if all the brilliance in the sky had been swallowed up by a patch of darkness.

"Mid-level Earth-rank Battle Skill - Ten Directions Annihilation!"

"I'll trouble Senior Medicine Venerable to cover for me. This strange fire's energy level is only at the initial Dou Huang level, but such a rare treasure of heaven and earth cannot be taken lightly. For Young Master Xiao Yan's safety, I will go all out later."

After speaking to Xiao Yan, who was under Yao Chen's control, Ling Ying turned to face the enormous tornado that had already approached, unleashing her Dou Technique, Ten Directions of Annihilation. From Xiao Yan's perspective, the earthen-yellow tornado collided violently with the all-consuming darkness.

"Little Yanzi, look closely, this is a battle at the Dou Huang level."

Even without his master's prompting, Xiao Yan's eyes were already wide open. Among the powerful figures he had encountered, apart from Yao Lao and Lin Feng whom he had met while unconscious, the strongest was only a Great Dou Master. He had never encountered a battle between such powerful figures before; the aftershocks of the battle alone seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

If Wutan City were to face such a powerful figure, it would likely be destroyed in an instant without much effort.

"Boom!"

After the deafening roar of the collision, the all-consuming darkness vanished, and light shone in once more. Just when Xiao Yan thought his reinforcements were no match for the enemy, the enormous tornado slowly came to a stop.

"Teacher, we did it!"

"Little Flame, it's still early days! If you think subduing a strange flame is so simple, then all the strange flames in the world would have been subdued by alchemists long ago!"

Just as Xiao Yan was feeling happy, Yao Chen poured cold water on his joy, and the scene on the field indeed changed dramatically, just as Yao Chen had predicted.

The enormous tornado, which had paused for a moment, suddenly roared up, pulling up the yellow sand that had accumulated over countless years in the Tagor Desert, and even occasionally throwing down huge rocks and broken logs.

However, Yao Chen controlled Xiao Yan's body and easily dodged the attack. This scene terrified Xiao Yan, as the power of the stone was almost comparable to a strike from a Dou Ling expert. If he were hit, his small body would not be able to withstand it.

If the people of the Black Corner Region were to witness this scene, they would surely scoff, for the black storms that frequently rage across the Black Corner Region's vast plains are no less powerful than this. But those merchants and mercenaries, driven by immense profits, show no fear whatsoever.

In the arena, as Feng Nu Long Yan made his movements, Ling Ying's expression gradually became serious.

"My dear lady, for the sake of your beloved brother Xiao Yan, it seems this old man will have to put these old bones to the test this time!"

With a flick of his wrist from his storage ring, a pill appeared in his palm. "It seems that to end this quickly, I'll have to use a sealing technique!"

After taking the pill, Ling Ying's aura as a peak Dou Huang instantly surged, breaking through a barrier and reaching the level of a two-star Dou Zong.

"Senior Medicine Venerable, I will soon unleash a powerful sealing technique. Please seize the opportunity and capture the source fire of this strange flame in one fell swoop. Afterwards, we will leave quickly. A battle at the Dou Huang level has surely already attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the Jia Ma Empire!"

After exchanging greetings, Ling Ying slowly floated up, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, a dazzling display of skill.

"High-level Earth-rank Battle Skill - Dark Descent!"

"As expected of a powerful figure from that clan, especially considering the guard protecting that flame-wielding warrior, their combat skills are truly extraordinary!"

"Darkness descends, go! Senior Medicine Venerable, now is the time!"

Endless black energy instantly enveloped the raging tornado. Faced with such a powerful sealing technique, even the rare and exotic fire of heaven and earth could not help but be somewhat powerless.

"Little Yanzi, it's our turn to make a move. Pay attention to how you use this power; getting familiar with high-level combat styles beforehand will benefit you!"

"Earth-Rank Combat Skill - Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!"

"Watch closely, this is the fighting technique I'm about to teach you!"

Above the sky, Xiao Yan, despite having relinquished control of his body, still tried his best to concentrate his mind, attempting to memorize the meridian routes through which this Earth-rank Dou Technique circulated within his body.

Yao Chen and Ling Ying ignored Xiao Yan's thoughts. Their powerful sealing technique first firmly controlled the raging dragon flames, and then their Earth-rank fighting skill followed closely, slamming into the fixed tornado.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came, but Yao Chen ignored it because he could see that the sealed Wind Fury Dragon Flame was about to erupt. At this time, he had to quickly find its source fire and seal it.

With that thought in mind, Yao Chen controlled Xiao Yan's body and quickly disappeared into the giant tornado.
