Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Hey~ You know me? It seems that I am quite famous in the mainland~" Yao Tianhuo folded his arms and raised his head proudly, then said with some regret: "What a pity, I was just one step away from becoming a Skyfire Saint, my luck is bad."

Xiao Yan turned to look at Yao Chen and asked in a low voice.

"Senior Yao, do you know her?"

"I can't say I know her, I just heard of her name." Yao Chen looked at Yao Tianhuo and said calmly: "Venerable Tianhuo, whose real name is Yao Tianhuo, was once a famous lone strongman on the Zhongzhou Road. He is superb at controlling fire with one hand, and even the Burning Flame Valley is impressed by his accomplishments in the fire attribute."

"But for some unknown reason, she suddenly disappeared from the continent one day, and no one has seen her since. Everyone speculated that she died in some ancient ruins, but no one expected her to be here."

After listening to Yao Chen's words, Yao Tianhuo stroked his fiery red hair and smiled helplessly.

"Ah~ I am quite ashamed to say this. When I was traveling around the continent, I discovered this piece of magma and wanted to use the rich fire essence here to break through to the Dou Sheng level."

Breakthrough Fighting Saint? !

Hearing Yao Tianhuo's words, Xiao Yan and the other two were stunned, even Yao Chen was stunned, and couldn't help but ask.

"And then? You failed?"

“No, I succeeded.” Yao Tianhuo folded his arms and said, “I successfully made a breakthrough to the semi-saint level with the help of the environment here. I was so excited at the time, and then I got carried away and became a little greedy. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly break through to the Dou Sheng level. However, I didn’t expect that I failed to break through and was seriously injured. In the end, I was surrounded and bitten to death by these fire lizards without any resistance.”

As he said this, Yao Tianhuo not only did not show any sadness, but instead he stroked his fiery red hair and laughed.

"Ah haha~ Sure enough, people still have to be satisfied. I guess even God looks down on my greed, so he sent these salamanders to bite me to death, hahahaha~"

"."

Looking at Yao Tianhuo, who was clearly telling of his own death but showed no sadness but instead laughed wildly, Xiao Yan and Cai Lin raised their eyebrows slightly, and even Yao Chen couldn't help but admire him.

What a broad-minded person! If an ordinary person died in such a miserable way, he would definitely become a wronged soul, right?

A powerful semi-saint was severely injured due to a failed breakthrough and was surrounded and bitten to death by a group of fire lizards with only Dou Wang strength. At least if it were Yao Chen, he would definitely die with his eyes open.

At this moment, Yao Chen suddenly felt something was wrong.

The Yaotianhuo in front of me doesn’t seem to be a pure soul?

As for why Yao Shen can be seen, the reason is very simple. As a soul body, she actually has legs!

"What's going on with your body? It shouldn't be a pure soul body, right?"

"Oh? Did you figure it out?" Yao Tianhuo looked at Yao Chen and said without hiding anything, "This is a body of fire that I forged with fire. It is actually no different from my living body. However, because my soul is weak now, I can only rely on the pure fire energy here to achieve this effect."

A body of fire forged from fire? !

Yao Chen looked stunned. Using soul power to forge a flaming body without harming her own soul, even she probably couldn't do it!

From this, it can be seen how strong the fire-controlling ability of Yaotianhuo is. No wonder it was praised by Fenyan Valley.

If she had the qualifications to be an alchemist, she would probably be better than myself, the number one alchemist on the continent.

"And for me, there is a most critical problem."

Yao Tianhuo raised his head and pointed upwards.

"The Fallen Heart Flame above originally belonged to me, but it stopped recognizing me after I died. It even tried to devour my soul the moment it saw me. I can't resist it in my current state, so I can only stay here forever."

After hearing Yao Tianhuo's words, the three were even more speechless.

This is too sad. Not only did he fail to break through to the Fighting Saint level and was bitten to death by a group of Fighting King-level lizardmen, but even his own strange fire wanted to take his life, and he was blocked and couldn't get out.

Yao Tianhuo then looked at Xiao Yan and the other two and grinned.

"Let's make a deal, are you interested?"

"trade?"

Yao Chen raised her eyebrows slightly, and Yao Tianhuo waved his hand. A ball of fire turned into a dragon wandering around her. The vivid appearance startled Yao Chen again.

Yao Tianhuo's small move was enough to show that her fire-controlling ability was superior to his. At least he could not control the fire like a living thing.

Then Yao Tianhuo slightly spread out his palm, with a wisp of transparent flame burning in his palm, which made Xiao Yan and the other two suddenly pause.

Fallen Heart Flame? ! !

The image of the sky fire can be referred to in [Lord of the Holy Flame]. If you are interested, you can search it. It will make you feel involved when you watch it.

Chapter 513: The Heartless Skyfire Master

Looking at the cluster of flames in Yao Tianhuo's hand, Xiao Yan and the other two showed shock in their eyes.

There is no doubt that this flame is the Fallen Heart Flame, but compared to the Fallen Heart Flame above, this one appears weaker, and the aura it displays is far less brutal than the one above.

"This is the other Fallen Heart Flame I found here. At first, I also wanted to absorb a new strange fire and use the energy explosion generated by the collision of the two to break through, but I failed."

After hearing Yao Tianhuo's nonchalant remarks, Xiao Yan didn't feel anything, but Yao Chen's brows were already trembling wildly.

The man who wanted to break through by relying on the energy explosion generated by the collision of different fires was even crazier than he thought!

Yao Tianhuo ignored Yao Chen's expression and continued speaking.

"Although my original Fallen Heart Flame left me, this one stayed. It was with its help that I was able to stabilize my soul."

"So, what's the deal you're proposing?"

Yao Chen asked in a low voice, and Yao Tianhuo grinned.

"I can give you this Fallen Heart Flame in exchange for you taking me out."

After waiting for a long time and finding that there was no further news about Yaotianhuo, Yao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"that's it?"

"That's it, what else do you think I should ask for?"

Yao Tianhuo's puzzled question made Yao Chen stunned, and then he said in a deep voice.

"You didn't think about going out and giving you a whole new body or something?"

"Ah, forget it. I don't like using other people's things, whether it's my body or anything else." Yao Tianhuo raised his hand lightly, and a hearty smile appeared on his lips. "How boring it is to use other people's things? From the beginning to the end of my cultivation, whether it's the techniques or fighting skills, they are all my own creations. I didn't even use conventional methods to break through. I didn't take any pills to absorb the strange fire. I just endured it by myself."

"It's a pity to lose my body after death, but it's my own fault. I can't blame anyone else. I won't use someone else's body. At worst, I'll just live like this in the future. I don't care anyway~"

Listening to Yao Tianhuo's statement, Xiao Yan and the other two couldn't help but feel admiration.

Those who come before us plant trees and those who come after us enjoy the shade. Let alone other things, among the powerful people who are still alive, who dares to say that he has not relied on the experience of his predecessors at all, and that he has cultivated himself bit by bit through trial and error?

If what Yao Tianhuo said is true, then this person cannot be described simply by the word "genius". His character is worthy of admiration.

Refusing to take shortcuts when there are none and not taking shortcuts when there are shortcuts are two completely different things. With Yao Tianhuo's status, she could have mastered as many advanced skills and techniques as she wanted, but she refused to use them. She created them all by herself, and was even able to break through to the semi-saint level.

No wonder, only such a person could think of using the explosive energy caused by the collision of strange fires to break through this inhuman method.

"Okay, without further ado, do you guys accept this deal or not?"

Yao Tianhuo held up the small cluster of Fallen Heart Flame and asked again. Yao Chen frowned and thought, then raised a finger after a while.

"Just this one Fallen Heart Flame isn't enough. After all, it's not easy to get you out."

"Yeah, that's right. After all, this is a life-threatening job. I know how difficult it is to deal with that thing up there." Yao Tianhuo pinched his handsome chin and thought for a moment, then patted the exposed white thigh, "Well, in addition to this Fallen Heart Flame, how about I use all the famous fighting skills I've created so far?"

"make a deal!"

Yao Chen agreed immediately. This kind of fighting skills created by a strong man is definitely not cheap stuff. He will make a fortune on this trip!

"Then the deal is established. Here you go."

Hearing Yao Chen's response, Yao Tianhuo directly threw the Fallen Heart Flame to Xiao Yan.

Now Yao Chen is still in soul form, and knowing that Yao Chen and Xiao Yan are master and disciple, Yao Tianhuo knows who the Fallen Heart Flame is for without even asking.

When Xiao Yan saw the Fallen Heart Flame thrown by Yao Tianhuo, he was stunned for a moment.

Just give it to yourself? No agreement or anything?

Just as Xiao Yan was astonished, Yao Tianhuo twisted his fingers and threw another three volumes of fighting skills to him.

The Five-Wheel Fire-Separation Method, the Fire-Separation Prison Robe, and the Fire-Separation Blade.

Xiao Yan stared at the three volumes of fighting skills for a long time, then he reacted and looked at Yao Tianhuo.

"Senior, are you going to give it to me right now?"

"Ah? What's the matter? Is there anything else?" Yao Tianhuo raised his eyebrows, then reacted, his eyes revealing realization, "Oh~ It's okay, if you want to cancel the contract, then cancel it. I haven't seen other people in so many years. This is probably your last chance. It's pointless to keep dithering and making suspicions. If you are willing to abide by the deal and take me out, that would be the best. If you are not willing, then it proves that I am destined to die. There is nothing to say. As for those things, just treat them as free gifts to you."

"."

Hearing Yao Tianhuo's indifferent words, Xiao Yan and Cai Lin's brows twitched again.

It doesn't matter whether the other party will break the contract or not. Honestly, Yao Tianhuo can no longer be said to be open-minded. To say he is heartless is an understatement. Does he really not doubt that Xiao Yan will not abide by the deal?

When Yao Chen saw Yao Tianhuo's unquestioning action, his eyes revealed a bit of admiration.

"It seems that we can have a very harmonious relationship in the future."

"Oh? Do you think so too?" Yao Tianhuo looked at Yao Chen and grinned, "When I first met you, I also felt that you were someone I could get along with~"

Xiao Yan looked at the three volumes of fighting skills and the Fallen Heart Flame in his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yao Tianhuo sincerely.

"Please rest assured, Senior. Xiao Yan will definitely take you away from here as agreed."

"No one can compare to my disciple in terms of abiding by his promises, let alone anything else."

Yao Chen also boasted about his disciple's character of keeping his promises, and Yao Tianhuo responded with a smile.

"Then I'll look forward to it~"

"Ah, but now is not the time." Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan and said with a serious face: "The Fallen Heart Flame above is too difficult to deal with, and if you want to go up, you must pass through the burning magma. Therefore, even if you recover to your peak state here, it is impossible for you to go up without any damage. So the most important choice at the moment is to stay here to practice and improve your strength as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Yao Chen spread out his hands and explained them one by one.

"You already have the conditions. The fire-red bead of the fire lizard, the falling heart flame of the young body, and this rare magma place will speed up your cultivation." Yao Chen clenched his fists, looked at Xiao Yan and said in a serious voice: "Stay here for a while and improve your strength as much as possible. Your master will also do his best to help you."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan responded in a serious voice, Yao Tianhuo also grinned beside him.

"If you don't mind, I can give you some guidance. Although my method is different from that of ordinary people, it is guaranteed to be useful~"

Hearing Yao Tianhuo's words, Yao Chen paused slightly, glanced at Yao Tianhuo sideways, and said softly.

"I think you are not suitable to teach students"

"Ah? Why?"

Looking at Yao Tianhuo's puzzled face, Yao Chen's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, but he said nothing.

For someone who is trying to break through by using the energy of the collision of strange fires, even if the method she said is proven to be effective, it certainly does not have much of a safety factor. Yao Chen does not want his most proud disciple to fall into her hands.

but

"Just practice and see."

Yao Chen did not say anything definite. After all, with Yao Tianhuo's experience, he might be able to help Xiao Yan in some ways.

At least with regard to Yao Tianhuo's superb fire control ability, Yao Chen felt inferior to him.

Chapter 514: Yao Tianhuo of Good Wine

In the inner courtyard of Canaan College, Su Qian sat in his office with a sad face, frowning and sighing continuously.

Three months have passed since Xiao Yan introduced the Fallen Heart Flame into the seal.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Su Qian spoke weakly, and then the door opened and Han Yue walked in with long legs.

Looking at the melancholy expression on Han Yue's face, Su Qian guessed it in his heart, but still asked.

"Where's that girl Zi Yan?"

"She is still guarding Xiao Yixian's coffin in Xiao Yan's room. She hasn't even eaten much recently."

Han Yue answered softly, causing Su Qian to hold his forehead in pain, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips when he thought of Zi Yan's tearful look of disgust.

"That girl probably will never forgive me in this life."

"Elder Su Qian, please don't blame yourself so much." Although Han Yue was equally sad, she still spoke to comfort him, "The situation that day was too critical. If you hadn't made this decision, I'm afraid that all the students in the inner courtyard would have suffered."

However, Han Yue's comfort did not work at all, and Su Qian's guilt did not diminish at all.

No matter what my reason was at that time, the fact that I abandoned Xiao Yan and the others was an ironclad fact, and there was no way to make any excuses for it.
