Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Hmm? You don't want it anymore?"

The old man from Yingshan was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.

“No, I need it, but the deal has not been concluded yet, so how can I ask for payment?” Xiao Yan said calmly: “Xiao Yan is not sure if I can cure your injury. After the treatment is successful, it will not be too late for you to give me the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva.”

".Hehe, although it's rigid, it does seem like something you can do." Old Man Yingshan came back to his senses and smiled, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll treat your injuries first, and then I'll give you the Bodhi Body Saliva."

"Are you sure, then?"

Hearing the question from the old man from Yingshan, Xiao Yan's eyes were as sharp as torches and he clasped his fists solemnly.

"I will definitely do my best!"

Chapter 497 Soul Palace Mission Objective

In the Black Horn Region, a week has passed since Xiao Yan reached a deal with the old man from Yingshan.

During this week, Xiao Yan had been staying in his room and had not come out. Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan's room, worry in her eyes, and murmured in a low voice.

"Is Xiao Yan okay?"

"Relax, little girl. It's normal for an alchemist to stay up all night for a month to refine the elixir." Old Man Yingshan sat on the sofa, sipping his tea. "And given that kid's personality, since we're doing a deal, he will definitely refine the elixir to the best of his ability. He won't come out until his requirements are met."

Although he had known Xiao Yan for a very short time, after several tests, the experienced old man Yingshan was able to accurately describe Xiao Yan's character.

Integrity is not for others to see, but for strict demands on oneself. The more upright a person is, the stricter the demands on himself.

"By the way, young lady." Old Man Yingshan turned his eyes slightly and looked at Cai Lin who was sitting on the other side. "You have been glaring at me for a week. It's time to relax."

"Who are you calling girl?" Cai Lin's eyes were stern, and he replied unceremoniously, "I am already three hundred years old. When I took over the snake people, you were still in your mother's womb!"

"Hehe. Judging the old and the young simply by age is not very fair to humans." Old Man Yingshan smiled faintly and did not argue too much with Cai Lin. "Never mind, judging by age alone, I am indeed not as old as you. It is wrong for me to call you a girl."

It is true that Cai Lin has lived longer than him, but she has always been hiding in the Tagor Desert. In terms of experience, perhaps the three Cai Lins combined cannot compare to him who has been traveling all his life.

Seeing that old man Yingshan didn't argue with her, Cai Lin didn't want to continue scolding him, otherwise she would really become the little girl in the old man Yingshan's mouth.

After the deal between Old Man Yingshan and Xiao Yan was concluded that day, Cai Lin also learned about it.

At that time, she felt as if she had been fooled by the old man Yingshan, which made her very unhappy.

Just then, Hai Bodong walked in with his short legs, chewing an apple. After looking around, he sensed something and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Xiao Yan hasn't come out yet?" Hai Bodong turned around and jumped next to the old man Yingshan, sat down on the sofa, and complained softly, "Alchemist is really a troublesome profession."

Hai Bodong has been quite idle in the Black Horn Region during this period. His mission here is to be Ya Fei's bodyguard, so before coming here he thought there would be a lot of fights.

But he never expected that the security in Black Horn Region was surprisingly good now, and there was no need to worry about Yafei's safety. The only chance he could take action was to catch those petty thieves and robbers on the street.

At first, when Hai Bodong felt itchy, he would go to the streets to assist the law enforcement team in catching these guys, but gradually Hai Bodong found it boring.

They are a bunch of rookies, the highest level of them is just a fighting master. What’s the point of arresting them?

The only interesting thing was that Xiao Ning, whom he had met by chance before, took him to Yihongyuan in Black Horn Region. Relying on his cute childish face, he won the favor of many beautiful big sisters, although he was almost not allowed in at first because he looked too young.

However, Hai Bodong didn't have much interest in places like brothels. He found them boring after going there a few times.

After that, Hai Bodong wandered around aimlessly every day, showing his inner boredom clearly.

Old Man Yingshan looked at Hai Bodong, who was sitting next to him and eating an apple, with a strange expression in his eyes.

He didn't know that day and simply thought that the child was just gifted, although it was indeed hard to accept that he was already a Dou Zong at such a young age.

But after learning Hai Bodong's name, his expression was as wonderful as it could be.

Hai Bodong, who in the entire Northwest doesn't know him? It's not because of his strength, but because of his fearless personality. He will confront anyone who provokes him without giving them any face.

In short, it's crazy beyond measure.

Moreover, Old Man Yingshan clearly remembered that Hai Bodong was not much younger than himself, but now he looked like a six-year-old child.

(Is rejuvenation already popular in the Gama Empire?)

Old Man Yingshan expressed these doubts in his heart.

In the hall, several people waited quietly, waiting for Xiao Yan to come out.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Cai Lin, who was resting with her eyes closed while leaning against a chair, suddenly opened her eyes, and a terrifying aura suddenly appeared in her golden snake pupils.

Soon after, old man Yingshan also realized something was wrong, and Hai Bodong jumped off the sofa and stared at the ceiling.

"Who is it?! What are you doing sneaking around?!!"

Hai Bodong's sudden roar made Xiao Yu stunned. Before she could understand what was happening, she saw Cai Lin's figure suddenly flash and rush towards her. He pulled her behind him, then clenched his fist and smashed out fiercely.

Bang! ! !

A dull voice was heard, and Xiao Yu then saw that a dark figure in a black robe had appeared behind where he had just stood.

Who is this? !

Xiao Yu was very confused. Looking at his appearance just now, it seemed as if he was coming for me?

why?

Xiao Yu was puzzled, while Cai Lin and Hai Bodong's faces turned gloomy.

Judging from this aura, there is no doubt that this mysterious man is definitely a subordinate of the Soul Palace!

"You bunch of bastards, are you really going to stop doing this?"

Hai Bodong's whole body was filled with coldness, and his small body revealed an air of arrogance. Cai Lin also suddenly burst out with fierce fighting spirit.

There was no need to ask what the other party was here for. The fact that they were from the Soul Palace was enough to put them on their kill list. They had not forgotten that the previous battle in the Yunlan Sect was supported by the Soul Palace!

"What conspiracy are you guys up to this time?" Hai Bodong stared coldly at the shadowy figure, "Since you're here, don't even think about leaving today!"

When the shadowy figure saw Hai Bodong and Cai Lin bursting out with fighting spirit, his body beneath the black robe was already covered in cold sweat.

He had just discovered the strength of Hai Bodong and that woman, and was discovered just as he was about to retreat, so he made up his mind and rushed out to take the target away.

Obviously, he failed, Cai Lin's reaction was faster than he expected.

The appearance of Hai Bodong and Cai Lin, two Dou Zong, here was indeed beyond his expectation. He had clearly read the information about the Black Horn Region before coming here, and the highest level they could reach was only the peak of Dou Huang. At that time, he thought that this mission was too easy.

As a result, he fell into such a dangerous situation.

However, despite the unexpected events, the shadow man did not retreat in order to complete the mission.

Because he knew in his heart that if he failed to bring the target back, he would definitely suffer torture more terrible than death!

Chapter 498 Take Your Dirty Hands Away

Cai Lin looked at the dark figure in front of her, the Soul Palace Protector Ling, but her eyes glanced slightly at Xiao Yu behind her.

The action taken by Guardian Ling just now was very clear, and it was obviously aimed at Xiao Yu.

And it was precisely because of this that Cai Lin could not understand.

Considering that Xiao Yan had had quite a few dealings with the Soul Palace before, it was not surprising that the Soul Palace came to cause trouble.

But it should be targeting Xiao Yan, right? Xiao Yu is just a cousin of Xiao Yan, why would Soul Palace target her?

Even if Soul Palace really wanted to capture someone close to Xiao Yan to use as a threat, it would definitely not be Xiao Yu's turn.

What do these guys want to do?

In just a moment, Cai Lin's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but she quickly put her doubts behind her.

Haha~ Why should I think so much?

Don't know their purpose?

That's easy, just catch this guy and interrogate him!

Cai Lin flashed and appeared in front of Guardian Ling, and her powerful fist suddenly smashed into his chest, but the next moment it passed through unhindered, and Guardian Ling's body turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Cai Lin was not surprised at all. He snorted coldly, turned sideways and raised his hands upwards.

Bang!

Cai Lin raised the back of her hand and hit something heavily, and the ceiling was instantly broken. Cai Lin took a step forward and chased after him, and Hai Bodong immediately followed closely behind.

The two initially judged that Protector Ling should be at the level of a six or seven star Dou Zong.

To be honest, his strength is indeed good, but it is really a bit unrealistic to think that he can take the person away from them.

In mid-air, Protector Ling covered his chin which had just been hit hard by Cai Lin, and looked at Cai Lin and Hai Bodong in front of him with resentment.

Although he already knew the result, Cai Lin's move made him even more certain of one thing.

It is indeed unlikely for him to accomplish the mission goal by himself.

There is no other way, just delay it for a while and try to attract their attention as much as possible.

Black air gradually flowed out from behind Guardian Ling, revealing a disgusting feeling that made people feel nauseous.

"What a trick!"

Hai Bodong flashed behind him, and the extremely cold ice spikes condensed in his small hands suddenly pierced through his chest.

In an instant, Protector Ling's entire body was sealed in ice, and then shattered into countless pieces.

However, the next moment, dozens of identical Ling protectors appeared in the air, surrounding Hai Bodong and Cai Lin, causing the two to raise their eyebrows slightly.

helper?

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and then he denied it softly.

No. They are all the same person. It looks like they are fighting skills of clones or something like that.

It can be seen that the clone of Guardian Ling has mastered the fighting skills quite skillfully. Not to mention Hai Bodong, even Cai Lin can't tell which one is the real one.

"Humph, this is the only trick you can play."

Cai Lin snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared in an instant. When he appeared again, several clones exploded out of thin air.

Since you can’t tell which one is real, there’s no need to tell them apart. Just smash them all!

Very coincidentally, not only Cai Lin, but also Hai Bodong had the same idea. His hands were covered with ice blade armor, and like a blue whirlwind, he kept shuttling between the clones, wiping out one clone after another.

From this we can see that these clones only look intimidating and do not actually have much combat power, otherwise Hai Bodong would not have been able to deal with them so easily.

However, in just a dozen seconds, dozens of clones on the field disappeared, leaving only the protector Ling, whose colorful golden snake eyes narrowed slightly, full of coldness.

"It seems that you are the real body." Cai Lin slowly raised his hand, and the illusory snake shadow wrapped around his arm. "Wasting my time is a great sin."

Hai Bodong next to him was also ready to rush forward and launch his strongest attack on Protector Ling in the next second.

However, at this moment, Cai Lin and Hai Bodong suddenly had a bad premonition.

Then, almost at the same time, Cai Lin and Hai Bodong suddenly looked towards the Evil Prison Headquarters. They also felt a new and strange breath from there.

Oops!

boom! ! !

Most of the Evil Prison headquarters was destroyed, and then two figures flashed and appeared in front of Hai Bodong and Cai Lin.

Xiao Yu, and the old man Yingshan who brought her out at the critical moment.

Old Man Yingshan didn't look very well at the moment. He was breathing slightly and looking at the half-ruins of the evil prison's headquarters.

"Isn't it a bit too cheap for a person from the Soul Palace to send out two Dou Zongs to capture a Dou Wang?"

Old Man Yingshan has been traveling alone for so many years. He dare not say that he has been to every place on the continent, but he knows almost all the forces on the continent. As the strongest force in Zhongzhou, he naturally knows about the Soul Palace.

Precisely because he knew this, he didn't really want to get involved in this matter.

However, just now, he still took action. After all, if he didn't take action, Xiao Yu might have been abducted.

Forget it. After being a coward for most of my life, it’s time to take a risk. Just as a response to Xiao Yan’s integrity.

As the old man Yingshan finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind him and Xiao Yu.

Although Old Man Yingshan's current strength is only at the peak of Douhuang, his combat experience has not declined at all. He threw Xiao Yu aside at the first opportunity and struck the black shadow hard with his palm.

Bang!

As expected, the body of the old man Yingshan flew backwards and sank deeply into the ruins. He vomited blood, his eyes frozen, staring at the black shadow.

The second person from the Soul Palace who appeared was also a five-star Dou Zong.

Although the combat experience is still there, the level gap is difficult to erase.
