Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

"Hehe, Elder, you're too kind. That name was just a casual gift from a friend in the Black Corner Region; it shouldn't be taken seriously." Han Feng smiled slightly at Su Qian, his thin lips curving into a smile.

"Han Feng, this is Canaan Academy's territory. What do you want by coming here uninvited?"

Hu Qian's expression also turned quite ugly because of the appearance of Han and the others. He slowly rose behind Su Qian along with the other Dou Huang elders and shouted at Han Feng.

Han Feng?!

Upon hearing this name, Xiao Yan's face darkened, his gaze fixed on the man who was considered his senior brother, and killing intent gradually rose within him.

"You know him?" Little Fairy Doctor asked in surprise, noticing the killing intent emanating from Xiao Yan.

"I've heard his name," Xiao Yan said with a faint smile, but the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger. "The traitor who murdered my teacher." As soon as he finished speaking, crimson fiery wings suddenly unfurled from Xiao Yan's back, and after a slight tremor, he flew into the sky.

"Strange fire is a rare treasure of heaven and earth..." Above the sky, Han Feng looked at everything that Han Cheng had caused, a bright smile on his face, and slowly spoke. However, before he could finish speaking, his gaze fell on Xiao Yan, who was flying in the air, or rather... on the crimson fire wings on Xiao Yan's back.

"...Strange Fire?" After a moment, Han Feng's gaze shifted to Xiao Yan's face, and he said in a deep voice.

Then, as if stimulated, azure flames suddenly erupted from Han Feng's body, confronting the crimson fire wings behind Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at Han Feng and smiled faintly: "The deep blue flames rise and spread slowly like seawater. If I'm not mistaken... this is the Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth, right?"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng's face darkened. He could see that the wings on Xiao Yan's back were made of strange fire, but he couldn't tell which kind of strange fire it was from the Strange Fire Ranking... Just like the crimson flames that faintly emitted a dragon's roar as they rose were not the kind recorded on the Strange Fire Ranking!

"Hehe, Elder Su Qian, could this be the dean of your Canaan Academy?" Although he didn't know what Xiao Yan's strange fire was, it didn't stop Han Feng from talking trash. "A dean at the peak of Dou Wang level?" His gaze passed over Xiao Yan and looked at Su Qian with a provocative expression.

"You know in your heart whether he is the dean of my Canaan Academy or not," Su Qian glanced indifferently at Han Feng. When Xiao Yan suddenly appeared, he also identified the identities of the various people behind Han Feng. "As expected of the Medicine Emperor, you can even invite the leaders of the Earth Flame Sect, the Eight Doors, and the Black Emperor Sect... In the entire Black Corner Region, only you, Han Feng, have such influence."

"If you've even brought out these people, where's the leader of Demon Flame Valley? Could it be that you, Medicine King, can't afford the price?"

Upon hearing the words "Demon Flame Valley," Han Feng's smile gradually faded. "Since Demon Flame Valley has been mentioned... I suppose the Grand Elder already knows the purpose of my trip, right? As long as you hand over the Strange Flame to me, Grand Elder, I will do my best to meet whatever conditions you set!"

Su Qian, who had heard something similar not long ago, looked at Xiao Yan with some strangeness. Both of them were alchemists who possessed different kinds of flames, but they both had their eyes on the Fallen Heart Flame of Canaan Academy... Could it be that the Fallen Heart Flame has some special help in alchemy?

"What a pity, Your Majesty the Medicine King arrived a step too late," before Su Qian could utter a sarcastic remark, Xiao Yan's voice rang out from the sky, "Just recently, this Fallen Heart Flame changed hands, and now, I am the true master of this Fallen Heart Flame!"

"you?"

Han Feng's gaze returned to Xiao Yan, his expression now filled with suspicion and uncertainty. If he hadn't cultivated the incomplete 'Burning Technique' scroll, he would never have been able to come into contact with a strange fire again. He assumed other alchemists who possessed strange fires felt the same way, but this man before him claimed the Fallen Heart Flame was already his…

'Could it be that he also cultivated a similar technique?' Han Feng thought to himself, somewhat uncontrollably. After all, the Burning Technique was taken out by his master from a certain ruin, and it was not impossible that it also existed in other ruins on the continent.

“That’s right, it is me.” Seeing Han Feng’s surprised and uncertain expression, Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something and slowly took out a storage ring from his pocket. “By the way, I think Your Majesty the Medicine Emperor should have seen this storage ring before, right?”

Looking at the ancient and exquisite storage ring that Xiao Yan took out, Han Feng looked as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes filled with terror, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"The Bone Inflammation Ring?! Why is it in your possession?!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Han Feng couldn't help but cry out in shock, as if he had seen someone who should have died.

'Bone Flame Ring? What's that? Why is Han Feng so afraid?' Hearing Han Feng's exclamation, Su Qian frowned slightly. 'And... why is it in Xiao Yan's hands?'

"It seems the esteemed Medicine King does indeed recognize this storage ring?" Xiao Yan smiled brightly. "Then... you should know my identity now, right?"

Han Feng gasped for breath, and after a long while, he muttered to himself, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. It wasn't completely dead after all? So... this Fallen Heart Flame was actually guiding me to get that thing?"

Hearing Han Feng's insane words, Xiao Yan's sarcasm deepened.

"Mr. Gold and Silver, please show yourself!" After muttering to himself for a while, Han Feng finally came to his senses, then took a step back and said respectfully.

"Haha, Han Feng, do you know the price for asking us to help? I hope you can come up with the money in the end, otherwise..."

As soon as Han Feng finished speaking, two loud laughs suddenly rang out. Then, the space rippled, and two figures, one in gold and one in silver, appeared in the sky like ghosts.

"After the deed is done, Han Feng will gladly present the reward!" Han Feng knew the personalities of these two, so he immediately spoke up. Then he looked at the crowd behind him and said, "Everyone, please help stop everyone except this person today. Even if we don't obtain the Fallen Heart Flame, the reward will still be delivered to your residences after today."

"Even if we tell Demon Flame Valley about this Fallen Heart Flame later?" A voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Although no one spoke up, their eyes clearly showed that they shared the same idea. After all, everyone knew that the founder of Demon Flame Valley was still searching for news of the Strange Flame. If the news that Canaan Academy had the Fallen Heart Flame was spread, it would be of great benefit to their respective sects.

Seeing the mocking expressions on everyone's faces, Han Feng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you all don't let Su Qian and the others disturb my reunion with my junior brother, I will not pursue any further matters!"

For Han Feng at this moment, even if the old man of the Demon Flame Valley really took away the Fallen Heart Flame, it was only temporarily holding it for him. As long as he obtained the complete Burning Technique and then got the Strange Flame from Xiao Yan, he would eventually reach the Dou Zun realm!

Chapter 332 Clash

While Han Feng was talking with the group of powerful figures from the Black Corner Region, Su Qian and the others looked at the golden and silver figures that appeared in the air with solemn expressions. Their cold voices spit out from between their teeth: "I didn't expect... even you guys were invited!"

Two figures appeared strangely in the sky, one in a golden robe and the other in a silver robe. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that their faces were almost identical, both with white hair and beards, and their features were as if they had been molded from the same mold.

These two are top-ranked experts on the Black Corner Domain's Black List. They are twin brothers and cultivate the same techniques. Therefore, if they were separated, their strength would only be comparable to a peak Dou Huang expert. However, if they fight together, they would complement each other and have a good chance of winning even against a Dou Zong expert.

It wasn't that Su Qian and the others looked down on Mo Tianxing, the Black Emperor Sect Master who had appeared in the crowd earlier and possessed the strength of a three-star Dou Zong. It was simply because Mo Tianxing, burdened by the Black Emperor Sect, wouldn't go all out against the Canaan Academy elders. But these two elders, Jin and Yin...

As lone individuals, even if they truly offended Canaan Academy, they could simply flee the Northwest region. With their peak Dou Huang strength, as long as they didn't court death and provoke powerful forces, they could easily venture into the Dou Qi Continent.

"Are you going to get involved in this too?" Su Qian said in a gloomy voice.

"I was asked to do this, and everyone gets what they want. There's nothing I can do about it," the old man in the golden robe smiled at Su Qian and said.

“Old Su, I suggest you give the strange fire to Han Feng. If your dean were here, we wouldn’t agree to this deal. But that old guy has been out of contact for so many years, and nobody knows if he’s died out there…right?” The silver-robed old man said with a somewhat sarcastic laugh, but his tone was exactly the same as the gold-robed old man’s.

"As long as you all don't let Su Qian and his group disturb my reunion with my junior brother, I will not pursue any further matters!"

While Su Qian and Jin Yin were facing off, Han Feng on the other side also uttered his last words.

Junior brother?!

Upon hearing this, all eyes in the sky focused on Xiao Yan and Han Feng. Those present were well-informed; most knew that Han Feng's master was the most powerful alchemist in Central Continent, the Medicine Venerable, and even that the Medicine Venerable had perished decades ago. Yet, Han Feng had now uttered the words "Junior Brother"...

'Tsk, I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!'

Among the crowd, Mo Tianxing's eyes were somewhat gloomy. Regardless of whether Han Feng was telling the truth or not, the fact that Han Feng was willing to give up the strange fire that had cost them a lot of money to participate in the competition showed that Han Feng was determined to get his "junior brother"... or rather, the storage ring in his junior brother's hand. In fact, the value of that storage ring even exceeded that of the strange fire in front of him!

"Junior brother? Xiao Yan, what he said..." Su Qian was also shocked by Han Feng's words and looked at Xiao Yan with a surprised expression.

"He wasn't lying," Xiao Yan chuckled. "This scoundrel who betrayed his master... really is my senior brother, if our teacher still acknowledges him!"

I was originally planning to go to the Black Corner Region during the Canaan Academy's ranking competition, capture the Medicine King Han Feng, and collect some medicinal herbs along the way, but now it seems...

"Elder, with Little Fairy Doctor's help, can you delay these Black Corner Region experts?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile after noticing that Little Fairy Doctor had also taken to the air.

Having already uttered the phrase "betraying one's master and ancestors," Su Qian naturally wouldn't refuse to "reminisce" with Xiao Yan and Han Feng, who were capable of defeating Dou Zongs from ancient clans. Moreover, with the help of Little Fairy Doctor, a high-level Dou Zong, their Canaan Academy could also take the opportunity to clean up these arrogant pests in the Black Corner Region...

Thinking of this, Su Qian's gaze toward the two elders, Jin and Yin, and Mo Tianxing in the crowd became even more fierce.

"...This time when I return, I demand double the reward." Noticing Su Qian's gaze and sensing the strength of the female Dou Zong who had just taken to the air, Mo Tianxing increasingly regretted his choice. "Or... perhaps... form an alliance with Demon Flame Valley to oppose Canaan Academy!"

Thinking of the strength of that Earth Demon Ancestor, Mo Tianxing relaxed a bit. However, he still did not plan to exert too much effort in the battles against the experts from Canaan Academy. He had already been made a target because of his outstanding strength. If he exerted himself too much, Su Qian and that female Dou Zong might join forces to keep him here!

After a few simple words outlining their respective objectives, the dozens of experts from Canaan Academy and the dozens of experts brought by Han Feng began to clash in battle.

The battle in the sky was sudden and fierce. The students in the distance were unaware of what was happening in the sky, but when the battle broke out, the continuous sound of energy explosions made all the students' expressions change. By now, they could guess that the mysterious people who suddenly appeared must have ill intentions.

Even knowing this, the battle in the sky was beyond the reach of the students who wanted to help, so they could only watch helplessly as the fierce melee erupted in the sky.

"Now... let's, the two of us brothers, catch up properly!"

Han Feng stared coldly at Xiao Yan, a cruel smile on his face. With a wave of his sleeve, a sea of ​​fire that blotted out the sky appeared in the air. The terrifying heat caused the surrounding experts to frown slightly. Then, he moved the battlefield to a more distant place.

"Perfect, then I'll take care of the scum of the sect for my teacher." Xiao Yan chuckled, unleashing an extremely powerful aura. In just a few breaths, his aura surpassed that of most of the Black Corner Domain experts brought by Han Feng, finally stopping at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, where he was on par with Han Feng in strength.

If he were to unleash his full power, not only Han Feng, but also all the experts of the Black Corner Region present would be wiped out in one move. However, what Xiao Yan wanted to do more at the moment was to maintain his strength at the same level as Han Feng, and gradually erase all of Han Feng's confidence, and tell him that betraying Yao Lao would be the biggest mistake of his life!

While entangled with the Gold and Silver Elders, Su Qian sensed Xiao Yan's current aura. 'He's only maintaining this level of strength? It seems this isn't just about repelling Han Feng…'

Su Qian clearly felt the battle between Xiao Yan and the Dou Zong of the Ancient Clan. Although his perception was later obscured by the Dou Zun of the Ancient Clan, Su Qian still knew how strong Xiao Yan's combat power was. Not to mention that in the past week, Xiao Yan's strength had advanced from the peak of Dou Ling to the peak of Dou Wang.

'No, I have to act quickly. If Han Feng dies, these bastards will run away faster than the last!' Then, Su Qian reacted instantly, and in a flash, he rushed towards the two elders, Jin and Yin, like a ghost.

Seeing Su Qian's fierce attack, the two elders, Jin and Yin, dared not be negligent and immediately joined forces to fight back.

Han Feng didn't believe there was any secret technique in the world that could pull someone from the peak of Dou Wang to the peak of Dou Huang. In his view, it was simply that Yao Lao had lent his power to Xiao Yan.

"Using secret techniques to reach the strength of a Dou Huang? Ha, junior brother, your senior brother will bury you and our teacher here forever!"

With a murderous intent surging across his face, Han Feng stared intently at Xiao Yan, as if he could see through Xiao Yan's body and into the soul of Yao Lao hidden within him. At the same time, he clenched his fist, and deep blue flames rapidly condensed, finally solidifying into a deep blue trident that looked almost tangible.

"With the incomplete Burning Technique you've cultivated?" Xiao Yan sneered, his crimson fire wings wriggling behind him before splitting into two flames, one blue and one green. "An incomplete Burning Technique that only devoured one type of strange fire... it's at most a high-level Profound Rank, right? That's probably only the level you could reach if you devoured a lot of beast fire or other flames."

As they spoke, the cyan flames condensed into a giant ruler more than two meters long, while the green flames scattered in the air, transforming into countless green butterflies that fluttered lightly.

"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and... Netherworld Poison Flame?"

After confirming that Xiao Yan was indeed his junior brother, Han Feng did not show any special expression towards the Xuan Heavy Ruler that Xiao Yan had conjured. He simply uttered the names of the two flames that Xiao Yan had split off, albeit in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Heh... I begged him so much back then, but he wouldn't pass on the Burning Technique to me. And now he's teaching it to a greenhorn like you..." Han Feng laughed coldly, his voice filled with undisguised jealousy and resentment. "Why? Does he think you're better than me?"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, but did not utter another word of nonsense.

"If he had passed on the Burning Technique to me back then, I would still have treated him with the utmost respect. But who can blame that old codger for having bad eyesight? Doesn't he understand my talent?"

His face flushed slightly, and Han Feng was a little agitated. He had always believed that if Yao Lao had been willing to pass on the Burning Technique to him back then, things would definitely be very different now.

"However, now I should be glad that he didn't give me the Burning Technique..." Soon, Han Feng calmed down and looked at Xiao Yan with a sinister gaze. "After all, if I were to search for the different flames myself, I don't know when I would be able to find these two different flames!"

With a sudden movement of his hand seals, Han Feng swung his trident and lunged at Xiao Yan. At the same time, the Sea Heart Flame that enveloped the two of them surged out towards Xiao Yan like a tidal wave, its overwhelming appearance resembling the surging waves of the sea, layer upon layer.

"Heh, then I'll use this move that you should have practiced, Senior Brother..." Looking at the surging fire wave, Xiao Yan gently raised the giant ruler in his hand, "Flame Split... Wave Devouring Ruler!"

A crescent moon, nearly a hundred feet long and shimmering with azure light, shot out and crashed into the towering wave.

The two different flames collided violently, and an explosion as loud as thunder resounded in everyone's ears. At the moment the flames collided, the temperature of the entire sky suddenly soared, and even some dry leaves spontaneously combusted.

At that very moment, the transparent fire python, which had been sealed and seemed to have no power to resist, suddenly opened its eyes. Its cold, serpentine pupils moved across the sky and finally settled on Han Feng and Xiao Yan. As the strange flames rose from the two of them, the temperature in the serpentine pupils also quietly increased significantly, and a hint of human-like greed arose from it.

It could tell that the blue flames on Han Feng's body were from the person who released it from the black tower. However, compared to this so-called "life-saving grace," what it wanted to do now was to devour the flames of the two people in the sky...

The snake flicked its tongue slightly, and a wisp of deep blue flame quietly appeared. If it weren't for the fact that it wanted to devour the last trace of flame on that person's body, it would have left long ago when the experts from Canaan Academy appeared.

However, not leaving in time... might not be a bad thing...

The snake's eyes slowly closed, and the black energy membrane sealing it became ethereal once more. However, for the Fallen Heart Flame, which had gained some intelligence, now was not the best time to break the seal...

*

Above the azure sky, the sound of figures flashing and cutting through the air was incessant, and the explosions of energy were like firecrackers. The powerful energy fluctuations could still be vaguely detected even from a hundred miles away.

At this time, most of the inner courtyard had been reduced to a mess by the aftermath of the battle, which forced the inner courtyard students to retreat to the outer areas to avoid the aftermath.

Even as they retreated, countless gazes remained fixed on the chaotic battle in the sky. Among these gazes, many were filled with fervor and excitement, lingering on one particular battlefield. Here, a young figure was unleashing his full power, while his opponent, a Dou Huang powerhouse with immense prestige in the Black Corner Region, was completely outmatched and in a sorry state.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Above the sky, Xiao Yan, who was once again close to Han Feng, clenched his fist, and a powerful gust of wind instantly condensed. Finally, with a cold shout, he slammed his fist into Han Feng's chest, whose face was already somewhat pale.

Bang!
