Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Even if Xiao Yan didn't actively think about it, Cai Lin didn't need his protection, and his body's instinct still drove him to do so.

Seeing Xiao Yan's unconscious action, Cai Lin, who had always been arrogant, not only did not feel humiliated, but felt deeply warm.

The feeling of being protected by someone is really addictive, especially when that person is someone you love.

Feng Qing'er felt the strength displayed by Xiao Yan and others, and looking at Hong Tianxiao in mid-air, a little sympathy could not help but appear in her eyes.

"You are really miserable. You actually met such a group of people."

A two-star Dou Zun is indeed very powerful, and looking at Hong Tianxiao's appearance, he has obviously paid a heavy price.

However, facing Xiao Yan's lineup, Hong Tianxiao, who had paid a very heavy price to obtain the two-star Dou Zun level, was really not that impressive. Xiao Yan also told Cai Lin's strength in advance, so Feng Qing'er was not surprised.

"But it's really unexpected that the Soul Palace would be involved in this matter." Feng Qing'er's eyes flashed with a cold look, and her figure gradually stepped into the air, staring closely at Hong Tianxiao, "After the battle, I have to ask you what happened."

Chapter 548 Yunying and the Soul

In Tianbei City, the Han family mansion was devastated by the war.

Xiao Yan breathed lightly, and the black chains that were circling around his body gradually retracted into his body. He looked at Hong Tianxiao in front of him, whose body was broken and completely lifeless.

"He's quite strong, but he's brainless, which is a fatal flaw."

As Yao Tianhuo said this, he gradually retracted the flames burning around his body. Although the battle just now was huge, he did not feel any sense of crisis at all.

Hong Tianxiao's own strength has reached the level of a two-star Dou Zun, but his IQ has basically degenerated to that of a mentally retarded person. Even if he spends a little time alone, he can be killed, not to mention being surrounded and beaten by Cai Lin, a one-star Dou Zun.

As long as Cai Lin can control his ability to manipulate space as a Dou Zun, Hong Tianxiao will pose no threat at all.

"Ha~ I had a pretty good time fighting~"

Zi Yun grinned. Just now, Hong Tianxiao's spatial ability was restricted by Cai Lin, allowing her to fight Hong Tianxiao head-on. However, Hong Tianxiao was a two-star Dou Zun after all, and the suppression power of his level was there. If it weren't for Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er's help and interference, she would not be able to withstand it even if she was a demon beast.

Han Chi stood there looking at Xiao Yan and the others in astonishment, with shock written all over his face.

He had wanted to go up and help just now.

However, after the battle began, he realized that a battle of this level was not something he could intervene in.

Han Chi was looking at Xiao Yan's back with shock. The others were all five-star Dou Zong at the lowest, so what on earth was Xiao Yan? ! The performance of a nine-star Dou Huang in battle was even more terrifying than Feng Qing'er, a nine-star Dou Zong!

"Yue'er! What's wrong with you, my junior? "

Han Chi turned around and questioned his granddaughter. Han Xue beside him was also shocked. Han Yue's eyes revealed helplessness, and she responded slowly.

"Just get used to it. I'm used to it anyway."

At this time, Feng Qing'er also retracted the Heavenly Phoenix Wings behind her, turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan and sighed.

"You really haven't changed at all. Your strength is still terrifying beyond your level."

Although Feng Qing'er had guessed it in her mind in advance, she still couldn't help but feel frightened when she really saw it. She had no doubt that if she and Xiao Yan had a one-on-one duel, she would most likely lose even if she was a whole level lower than him.

After Xiao Yan breaks through to Dou Zong, if he still stays at his current level, he will probably not be able to fight him at all.

Feng Qing'er immediately frowned, came to Hong Tianxiao's body and squatted down, stretched out her jade hand, and released the fighting spirit from it to sense it.

The turbid fighting spirit that had not yet dissipated did not seem to belong to him alone.

And Feng Qing'er clearly felt it. How could Hong Chen's fighting spirit be in Hong Tianxiao's body?

Xiao Yan walked over and spoke.

"I discovered during the fight just now that his fighting spirit and soul were in disarray, as if they were powers forcibly plundered."

Improved strength needs to be digested and mastered. Hong Tianxiao gave people the impression that he absorbed other people's fighting spirit and souls and forcibly upgraded to the two-star Dou Zun, but he did not complete the refining at all, resulting in not even 70% of the strength of the two-star Dou Zun being exerted. Otherwise, he would not have been killed so easily by them.

"By the way, when he was fighting just now, he kept shouting at you to hand over the ancient jade." Feng Qing'er turned her head to look at Xiao Yan and asked in a deep voice; "It can be seen that he came for you, do you know what it is?"

".Maybe."

Xiao Yan responded in a low voice, and immediately thought of the ancient jade that Xiao Wei had given him, which had been passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch of the Xiao family.

Hong Tianxiao himself probably didn't know what the ancient jade was, but looking at his appearance, it was obviously the work of the Soul Palace. Combined with Xiao Yu's previous speculation, the fact that Hong Tianxiao's strength suddenly increased so much and he came to the Han family to cause trouble for him was most likely the work of the Soul Palace behind the scenes.

"Feng Qing'er, how much do you know about the Soul Palace?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't seen anyone from the Soul Palace since I came to Zhongzhou." Feng Qing'er slowly stood up and answered softly, "Not only me, even the Pavilion Master has hardly seen them. The Soul Palace is one of the few forces in Zhongzhou that has continued from a thousand years ago to the present. If they didn't occasionally show up on the mainland, people would probably think they had disappeared long ago."

"I have only heard the clan leader mention before that the Soul Palace is very likely a force created by the Soul Clan, and this is just speculation. Other than that, I know nothing."

Mysterious and powerful, this is the label of the Soul Palace in Zhongzhou, and also the label of the Soul Clan. Even though Feng Qing'er's Sky Demon Phoenix Clan has existed on this continent since ancient times, there are not many records left about the Soul Clan.

At this moment, Cai Lin suddenly raised her eyebrows, looked at Xiao Yan and yelled.

"Xiao Yan, get out of the way!!!"

Hong Tianxiao, who was almost dead, suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying red light suddenly emanated from his eyes. Without any hesitation, Cai Lin immediately condensed a strong fighting spirit in his hands and smashed it towards Hong Tianxiao's body.

boom! ! !

In the blink of an eye, Hong Tianxiao's body was smashed into pieces by Cai Lin's powerful force.

However, it's still a step too late!

At the moment when Hong Tianxiao's body was completely destroyed, a red light shot out from his eyes and hit Xiao Yan, who was unable to dodge in time. His eyes instantly lost their luster and his body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Xiao Yan!!!"

Before Xiao Yan landed on the ground, Cai Lin flashed and hugged him in her arms, looking at his face with panicked eyes.

Yao Chen had not expected this sudden situation at all, and did not bother to hide himself. His illusory figure appeared, and his jade hand gently stroked Xiao Yan's forehead.

The breath and fighting spirit were normal, but there was something wrong with those lifeless eyes. Yao Chen wanted to probe her soul into them for a closer look, but she found that Xiao Yan's soul seemed to be covered by a thick barrier, making it impossible for her to get in!

(Damn! That woman!!!)

Yao Chen gritted her teeth, her ruby ​​eyes filled with hatred. From the look on Hong Tianxiao's face when he first appeared, she guessed that it must be Yunying's doing!

Maybe the fact that Hong Tianxiao was easily dealt with by Xiao Yan and the others was all part of Yunying's plan, and only this last ray of unknown meaning was her real purpose!

"How is he?!"

Cai Lin looked at Yao Chen with panic in his eyes. Yao Chen was silent for a while, then whispered after a moment.

"He should be fine. Let's observe him for a while."

At least in Yao Chen's understanding, Yunying had indeed not done anything to obviously harm Xiao Yan. Although her attitude towards Xiao Yan was ambiguous, it was obvious that she did not want Xiao Yan to get into trouble.

The most obvious example was when she faced the fatal attack by old man Mu Gu in the Black Horn Region. If Yunying really didn't value Xiao Yan's life, she would not have taken action to scare old man Mu Gu away.

Thousands of miles up in the sky, Yunying looked down from afar, watching everyone hurriedly sending Xiao Yan back to the room, with a little light flickering in Yunying's scarlet eyes.

Next, it’s time for our long-awaited reunion.

In Xiao Yan’s soul space, the soul narrowed its eyes slightly and raised its brows.

Ever since she was driven back by Xiao Yan last time, she has been staying here obediently, or rather, she has been forced to stay here, and has to frequently listen to the mocking words of Black Xiao Yan.

To be honest, there were several times when the soul almost couldn't help but want to die with Xiao Yan, but in the end he forced himself to hold back.

I have been waiting for a thousand years. It would be too sad if a few words of ridicule would let all this waiting go to waste.

Just now, Xiao Yan's soul space suddenly trembled violently, and then the black Xiao Yan and the black woman, who were Xiao Yan's derived souls, disappeared.

No, to be more precise, he was locked up.

Locked up?

There was confusion in the soul's eyes. You know, even when Xiao Yan's body was occupied by him, the black Xiao Yan and the black woman were not affected. How come they were suddenly locked up for no reason?

"Soul, long time no see~"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind the soul, causing her pupils to shrink suddenly and her body to tremble uncontrollably.

This sound this sound!

The soul turned its head suddenly and saw a woman standing there.

Although a thousand years have passed, and although her temperament has changed tremendously from what it was before, the depths of her soul tells her that this woman is definitely her!

"Soul Hero!!!"

Hunling's eyes were filled with excitement, and Hunying, or Yunying, smiled slightly and teased softly.

"It's so tragic. A dignified Nine-Star Dou Sheng is trapped in the soul space of a Lesser Dou Huang. Just looking at it makes people feel sad."

"."

Yunying's sarcastic words not only did not make Hunling angry, but instead he calmed down instantly and looked at her with some surprise.

"It feels like you've changed a lot." The soul pointed at her and said lightly, "In the past, you always exuded an aura of deep hatred and deep resentment, but now you don't feel that way anymore."

"Haha~ After all, a thousand years have passed, so it's normal for personality to change a little." Yunying didn't deny it, raised her hand and shook it lightly, "You don't seem surprised by my appearance?"

"Huh? What's surprising? It's just what I wished for!" The soul did not continue to dwell on this issue, staring at Yunying excitedly, "Hunying! Let me out of this kid's body! I want to fight you to the death!"

The soul made such an arrogant request, but the fighting spirit in its eyes did not diminish in the slightest. It was clearly a request, but its attitude was so arrogant.

She knew it, she knew Yunying would definitely let her go. Hun Ling herself couldn't explain the specific reason, but she just had this intuition.

"Well, I really want to let you out now, but it seems that the time is not right yet." Yunying pinched her chin lightly and looked at her with a smile, "Even if I let you out now, your strength is far inferior to mine. Although we have to decide the winner, you don't want to lose to me when the gap in strength is so big, right?"

".That's true."

The soul did not continue to make trouble, but instead calmed down.

Yunying was right. What she wanted was for both sides to have equal strength to determine the winner. Otherwise, she would never acknowledge whether she won or lost.

"And in the thousand years since your death, I also found something very interesting." Yunying pointed to the dark soul space and said, "I have always been curious about how you ended up in his soul space."

The soul crossed its arms, its eyes revealing displeasure, and said quietly.

"When I left the Soul Clan, in order to leave a way out for myself, I left a trace of my soul in the bodies of tens of thousands of people across the continent. According to my original expectation, if my original soul is annihilated, I can pass the remaining soul on to one of the souls and be reborn."

"Huh? Can you still do this?"

There was a hint of surprise in Yunying's eyes, and Hunling turned his head away in annoyance.

"It's just an experiment. I didn't know whether it could be truly realized at that time. Soul transfer is more uncertain than you might imagine. The probability of success is probably one in ten thousand, not one in ten million. I left thousands of souls behind, but after a thousand years, only one remained in this kid. And if he hadn't absorbed thousands of wronged souls last time and accidentally woke me up, I would probably have continued to sleep until he died."

Having said this, Hun Ling suddenly paused, and immediately thought of something, looking at Yun Ying in surprise.

"Wait, are the millions of wronged souls that this kid absorbed last time related to you?"

“I guess so.” Yun Ying smiled softly and looked up at the dark soul space. “Xiao Yan is more interesting than you think. After a thousand years, she is the only one who makes me feel completely different from everything I have seen before.”

"Hey~ It seems like you've been pretty bored these past thousand years without me."

The corner of Hunling's mouth slightly raised. Yunying looked at her, and after a long time, she asked in a deep voice the question she had wanted to know for thousands of years.

"Soul, I absorbed you at the last moment. Do you hate me?"

"I hate you very much, but I don't hate you for absorbing me. I hate you for not being able to fulfill the promise to fight me to the death." The soul said, grinning and revealing a ferocious smile, "As long as you can make up for this promise, then this debt will be written off!"

"Oh, that's an answer you can come up with."

Yunying smiled softly, raised her hand, a cluster of scarlet light leaped in her palm, and gently threw it to Hunling. Hunling grasped it in his hand and looked at her in confusion.

"This is?"

"This thing can help you get some fresh air occasionally. It's boring to stay here all the time, right?" Yunying pointed to the sky. "Of course, don't do anything that will make him resist when you go out. I don't care, but you should know better than me that if you dare to touch the things he values, he will never let you do so even if he dies. You don't want me to disappear with him before the agreement between you and me is fulfilled, right?"

".Thank you for your generosity. Staying here all the time is really boring. It's nice to go out for a walk occasionally." The soul grasped the scarlet light tightly and squinted at Yunying. "Don't make me wait too long."

Yunying did not comment, and her figure slowly disappeared in this soul space.

The soul stared at the direction where she disappeared, looked at the scarlet light in his hand, and grinned.

"It seems that it won't be so boring in the future~"

Chapter 549 Yunying's Invitation

Tianbeicheng, Han family.

Cai Lin sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her slender legs and silently looked at Xiao Yan who was sleeping soundly on the bed, her eyes revealing an anxiety that could not be concealed.

Nearly two weeks had passed since Xiao Yan fell into a coma. Feng Qing'er had to return to Fenglei Pavilion to prepare for the upcoming Sifang Pavilion Conference. During this period, everything was normal with Xiao Yan except that he could not be woken up no matter how hard he called.

But because he remained unconscious despite looking normal, Cai Lin became more and more irritated. Yao Chen had checked him many times but couldn't find any problems.

However, Yao Chen spoke to Cai Lin in a heavy tone.

Don't worry, he will wake up.
