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

After the Ice Flame Wolf's fire seed was refined, the Burning Technique underwent a slight change, roughly from level ten to level eleven. Although a low-level Yellow Rank Burning Technique is not weaker than a mid-level Yellow Rank technique, it was already somewhat insufficient for Xiao Yan, who was at the peak of the Dou Shi realm.

"Brother, the Blazing Fire Academy should be up ahead. Why don't you go ahead first?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Huo Lie noticed that a black-robed figure had appeared beside him, flying at some point.

"Be careful, the effects of the Windwalking Pill will wear off soon."

A slightly shrill sound came from beneath the black robe, and then the black-robed man suddenly accelerated, flying forward.

“My elder brother is a Soul Douluo with a mental attribute, so he should have already discovered Huo Wushuang and the others’ location.” After the man in black robes left, the giant firebird’s flight speed gradually slowed down, just as Xiao Ding had said, the effects of the Windwalking Pill were about to wear off.

Watching the black-robed figure vanish without a trace in the blink of an eye, Huo Lie's anxious heart gradually calmed down. "Thank you, Yan Xiao."

"It's alright, just don't mind that I'm flying slowly now." Xiao Yan smiled nonchalantly.

'It should be enough time, the problem isn't too big...'

As he spoke, Xiao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. When he discovered the group from Blazing Fire Academy with his spiritual power, they were already in dire straits. If he hadn't helped them in time, all he and Huo Lie could have done by the time they arrived would have been to collect their bodies. Of course, it was more likely that they wouldn't even have been able to find their bodies.

Therefore, Xiao Yan had to use his mental power to create a "black-robed man" in advance, and then send him to save the people of Blazing Fire Academy, while he himself could play the role of an ordinary Soul Master whose flying speed was very slow after the effects of the medicine wore off.

'Oh wait, they seem to think I'm a Great Soul Master? Should I slow down a bit more?'

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the "evidence" he had left behind when he pretended to be weak a couple of days ago.

几分钟前。

Just as Huo Wushuang shattered the carapace of a desert scorpion and was in an awkward situation where his old strength was not yet exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, another desert scorpion charged forward fearlessly.

The sparks clinging to Huo Wushuang blocked the desert scorpion's attack. As it raised its stinger, a dazzling ring of flames erupted from behind Huo Wushuang, spreading to where it was needed in the blink of an eye.

The desert scorpions that were close to the group were all knocked away at this moment, and Huo Wushuang took the opportunity to return to the group.

"Thanks, sis."

Because of the soreness in his body, Huo Wushuang gritted his teeth and talked for a while before finally thanking his sister.

"You should save your energy. It's time for you to shine when the teacher is in better form," Huo Wu replied casually.

It wasn't that she didn't care about her brother, it's just that the current situation was far from optimistic—

The six of them stood back to back in a circle, protecting their seriously injured teacher in the middle. Around them were countless desert scorpions, none of which were less than a hundred years old, and occasionally they could even see desert scorpions several times larger (thousand-year-old desert scorpions).

"I wonder if Huo Lie will survive." Huo Yu, a boy whose martial soul is the Fire Crane, licked his dry lips and forced a smile.

Besides the teacher, he and his younger brother Huoyun were the most seriously injured. Both of them had multiple penetrating wounds on their hands and legs, from which purple blood was flowing, which was obviously the venom of these scorpions.

"He thought he could lure away all the desert scorpions," Huo Bai grinned, "but in the end, less than a hundred scorpions followed him."

His martial soul is Mars, making him a support-type soul master with some healing abilities. He and another soul master with the Mars martial soul are probably in the best condition, with almost no external injuries except for a slight overexertion of their soul power.

"Alright, stop talking and save your energy."

The third soul skill, Fire Resisting Ring, was activated again, repelling the scorpions that had gotten too close. Huo Wu muttered, "Damn it, are these soul beasts insane? They're completely using their own corpses to block our way!"

"Perhaps that two-headed fire spirit serpent is about to give birth," said Huo Zhen, a Soul Emperor and teacher at Blazing Fire Academy, with a smirk, "and then mistook us for..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground recovering his soul power and injuries, stood up as if he had been grabbed by the collar. He then fell forward. Although the others wanted to help him up, they were all frozen in place as if they had been hit by a spell.

With a muffled thud from beneath the sand, countless molten lava burst through the sand in an instant, shot into the air, and then fell like raindrops.

The students of Blazing Fire Academy could only watch helplessly as the scorching lava dripped down, landing on their heads, and then...

Then it inexplicably slipped down, dripped onto the sand, and finally quickly solidified into clumps.

Faced with this sudden situation, not only were the students of Blazing Fire Academy dumbfounded, but even the scorpions, who already knew that their leader, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, was preparing to give these humans a thrilling "game," were also dumbfounded.

However, before the scorpions could react, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out in the sky, and a black shadow suddenly streaked across the sky, finally crashing heavily into the swarm of desert scorpions like a black lightning bolt.

The yellow sand fell instantly, like sharp spikes, accurately hitting the weak points of each scorpion.

As the yellow sand dissipated, all the surrounding desert scorpions were dead, and countless yellow and purple spirit rings floated above their corpses. The students of Blazing Fire Academy could also clearly see the dark shadow that had fallen earlier—

A black-robed figure completely covered from head to toe, with no skin exposed.

Although the black-robed man's appearance was rather "spectacular," he had saved them after all, so Huo Zhen didn't react excessively.

"Fire Warrior? Fire Dance?"

The man in black robes slowly raised his head and made a sharp, piercing sound.

"What are your instructions, senior?"

Without Huo Zhen's prompting, Huo Wushuang and his sister, having realized they could move again, stepped forward and respectfully inquired.

“That’s fine,” the man in black robes nodded, snapped his fingers, and a ring appeared on the desert, perfectly encompassing everyone from Blazing Fire Academy. “Stay inside the circle and don’t come out.”

Looking at the size of the circle and then at the hole in the center where lava had just spewed out, the members of Blazing Fire Academy wanted to say something, but in the end, they silently shut their mouths.

Aren't you coming out yet?

"Heh heh, they actually managed to be saved. What a pity."

Along with the questioning, a sweet voice rang out between heaven and earth.

Chapter 61 The Main Body Under Attack

In the direction Huo Zhen could see, the air suddenly became noticeably blurry. Then, as if a curtain had been drawn back, a serpentine soul beast appeared in everyone's sight—

It was extremely long, roughly twenty meters long, and its entire body was fiery red. From a distance, it looked like a perfectly round piece of fire jade. Its body surface was covered with palm-sized scales. What was most terrifying was that this soul beast actually had two heads.

"You should thank him. If it weren't for him, you would have died under the lava just now."

The two-headed fire spirit serpent stared intently at the man in black robes with its huge diamond-shaped eyes, but it spoke to the people of Blazing Fire Academy.

"Speaking human language...a 100,000-year-old soul beast?!"

After confirming that he was not hallucinating and that those two sentences were indeed spoken by the soul beast, Huo Zhen opened his eyes wide in horror.

Upon hearing Huo Zhen's words, all the students of Blazing Fire Academy showed expressions of extreme shock.

“Its second head’s attribute is spirit, and speaking is not difficult for a spirit beast.” However, the man in black robes quickly rejected Huo Zhen’s guess.

"That's right, the mental attribute, just like yours, isn't it?"

Perhaps it was just an illusion. Huo Zhen sensed a hint of allure in the two-headed fire spirit snake's words, as if a woman dressed in red silk was laughing and welcoming him into the bedchamber...

Snapped!

With the snap of his fingers, Huo Zhen trembled, snapped back to his senses, and then looked at the two-headed fire spirit snake in horror.

"Wake up your students."

Upon hearing the voice of the man in black robes, Huo Zhen noticed that his students' faces were flushed, as if they were drunk. Undoubtedly, his students, like him just now, had fallen under the hypnosis of the two-headed fire spirit snake.

"Leave now, and I will spare your life." The black-robed man uttered these words as he watched Huo Zhen begin to awaken the students of Blazing Fire Academy one by one.

"Spare my life? And then, when you break through, find me and make me your soul ring?" The two-headed fire spirit snake trembled slightly as it spoke these words, as if it were a real woman, as if it had heard something amusing.

"I don't need your spirit ring."

“That’s right, you certainly don’t need it now, after all, you seem to be only at the level of a Contra Douluo. But you will break through eventually, won’t you?” Fire Spirit Serpent said with a “smile.”

'Tsk, what bad luck, the person in question just happens to be right next to me.'

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue slightly. To make the disguise more realistic, this black robe was filled with temporarily injected energy of heaven and earth, as well as a not-so-profound spiritual suggestion. Unless one's spiritual power surpasses Xiao Yan's, anyone's first reaction upon seeing the man in the black robe would be that he is a Soul Douluo.

So, here's the question: can a 90,000-year-old two-headed fire spirit serpent with both spiritual and fire attributes really coexist peacefully with a Soul Douluo with a spiritual attribute?

"I swear on my martial spirit that after you leave this time, I will never come looking for you again."

A battle is unavoidable, so what Xiao Yan needs to do now is get to the scene as quickly as possible and then control the black-robed man in close combat.

"The words of you humans, whether oaths or oaths, are not to be trusted."

Quite coincidentally, the two-headed fire spirit serpent also seemed to be stalling for time. "However, I'd like to know why. Are any of your relatives or friends among them?"

The snake's tail swayed slightly, as if trying to show that it didn't care whether it left or not.

“No, I only know the names of two of them,” the man in black shook his head, “but my brother knows them.”

younger brother?

Upon waking from the illusion, Huo Wushuang looked at Huo Wu with a bewildered expression, clearly asking, "Is she one of your suitors?"

Huo Wu, equally clueless, rolled her eyes in exasperation. What charm did she possess? Even if she were truly that charming, how could she possibly forget the younger brother of a Soul Douluo?

"Are those the two who are rushing this way?"

The two-headed fire spirit snake looked at the distant sky. Although it was still just a small black dot, its spiritual power was already able to sense the auras of the two people who were rushing over there.

"Hmm? There's another one who just escaped not long ago~~"

It chuckled sweetly, and although it didn't have a hypnotic effect, the laughter still sent a chill down one's spine.

"Escaped? Is it Huo Lie?" Huo Wushuang's heart stirred, and he looked at Huo Zhen.

"Don't look at me, I can't sense anything," Huo Zhen grinned. "One is a Soul Douluo, and the other is a Soul Beast with over 90,000 years of history. My mental strength is no match for theirs!"

"It can only be Huo Lie. How did he manage to find reinforcements?" Huo Yu asked in surprise. "I thought he just didn't want to die with us."

"Stop joking around, what's coming next is probably a big battle..." Huo Bai said in a deep voice.

In fact, everyone could sense that although the man in black robes and the two-headed fire spirit snake seemed to be just chatting casually, the atmosphere in the world was becoming increasingly oppressive, giving people a feeling that a storm was brewing.

Do you need a little more time?

Xiao Yan is now in a "strong signal zone." Although he hasn't reached the vicinity yet, the spiritual flames around the black-robed man he controls can already be ignited.

"Won't the lava below be difficult to control?"

These words, illuminated by the surrounding spiritual fire, seemed particularly somber—at least, this was directed at the two-headed fire serpent.

Are you interfering with me?

The two-headed fire serpent's voice was no longer sweet; it was now cold and menacing, like a wild beast ready to tear everything around it apart.

“My martial spirit also possesses both spiritual and fire attributes,” the black-robed man raised his right hand. “Come on, you weren’t planning to use magma as your trump card anyway, were you?”

The two-headed fire spirit snake stared coldly at the man in black robes, its diamond-shaped pupils filled with savage killing intent.

The next moment, the two-headed serpent's giant mouth suddenly opened wide, and two huge pillars of lava, composed entirely of magma and flame, surged out like a volcanic eruption. The target of those two surging pillars of lava and fire was the man in black robes and the people from the Blazing Fire Academy who were under his protection.

Although the magma pillar was very fast, the black-robed man, who had noticed the slight swelling at its neck, moved his body slightly and perfectly dodged the pillar of fire that was about to hit him.

The jet of water aimed at the Blazing Academy students, under the interference of mental energy, precisely grazed the circle surrounding them and landed on the sand dune.
