Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Venerable Lei was also stunned by Xiao Yan's words. Seeing Feng Qing'er's attitude, he was ready to have a good argument with his beloved disciple, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to stand up on his own.

Moreover, what Xiao Yan said just now was not something that an ordinary young person could say. At least one could hear that he was indeed very responsible. If it were anyone else, they would probably have just hidden behind and watched Feng Qing'er and Lei Zunzhe quarreling.

"Heh, kid, you seem to be very responsible." Lei Zun narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "But being responsible is not enough. Do you know what Qing'er's status is?"

Xiao Yan answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"As far as I know, Feng Qing'er is your direct disciple and the eldest daughter of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."

Xiao Yan did not know Feng Qing'er's two identities before. He only learned about them from Feng Qing'er after they met again after a long separation that day, which surprised Xiao Yan greatly.

But I was just surprised and didn't have any extra thoughts.

Xiao Yan's answer made Lei Zun frown.

"Since you know Qing'er's identity, you should also know that not everyone is qualified to be her friend." Lei Zun raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Yan impolitely, "At least you, a mere nine-star Dou Huang, are not qualified."

If they were just friends, Lei Zun would not target Xiao Yan like this.

However, looking at the attitude Feng Qing'er showed towards Xiao Yan just now, she even gave Xiao Yan the quota for the Tianshan Blood Pool belonging to Fenglei Pavilion without his knowledge. No matter how you look at it, this is more than just a simple friend, they are too close.

Feng Qing'er is the future leader of Fenglei Pavilion. Lord Lei cannot tolerate her having close friendship with a little Douhuang of unknown origin. Even if there is just a hint of this, it must be nipped in the bud immediately.

Listening to the impolite remarks of Lei Zun, Xiao Yan frowned. Without arguing with Lei Zun any further, he looked into Lei Zun's eyes and asked directly.

"Then may I ask, Senior, what kind of person do you think can become friends with Feng Qing'er?"

"Hmph, that's a straightforward question."

Venerable Lei took a step back, stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke proudly.

"As long as you can make me take a step back, I will admit that you are qualified." After saying this, a hint of cruelty flashed in Lei Zun's eyes, "If you can't do it, stay away from Qing'er in the future and take care of yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Venerable Sword and Venerable Huangquan changed slightly, and Feng Xian also revealed a hint of contempt for Venerable Lei in her eyes.

A dignified three-star Dou Zun is making things so difficult for a Dou Huang. To say that Lei Zun is bullying the weak is giving him a compliment.

However, Feng Xian and the other two were not surprised by Venerable Lei's behavior. Venerable Lei was just like that, willful and domineering, and even unreasonable towards his juniors.

"Pavilion Master! What are you doing?!"

Feng Qing'er, who had planned to leave everything to Xiao Yan, had a flash of anger in her eyes. She was about to step forward, but Xiao Yan raised his hand to stop her. Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan's profile in astonishment.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed.

"All it would take is for you to step back, right?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Feng Xian and the other two were slightly stunned.

I thought Xiao Yan would question Lei Zun's request, but from the sound of it, it seems that he doesn't object?

Venerable Lei, who was originally preparing to argue, was also stunned, but then he reacted and nodded in a deep voice.

"I keep my word. As long as you can make me retreat, even if it's just a small step, I will never interfere in your and Qing'er's affairs again."

"Is this true?"

"really."

Following Xiao Yan's reconfirmation, Lei Zun responded heavily. Xiao Yan was silent for a while and then spoke softly.

“Although I don’t want to prove whether I am qualified to be Feng Qing’er’s friend in this way.” Xiao Yan’s fighting spirit rose violently, and he whispered, “But since Senior insists on this, then I will accept it.”

No way? Was he really going to accept the shameless request from Lei Zun?

Feng Xian and the other two looked at Xiao Yan in a somewhat absurd way. It was obvious that this was a request made by Lei Zun to make things difficult for others. How could this kid really agree to it? Didn't he know how big the gap between the strength of a nine-star Dou Huang and a three-star Dou Zun was?

After thinking for a long time, the three came to a conclusion.

That is, the Xiao Yan in front of him only looks steady. After all, he is still a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger and is completely unaware of the cruelty of this world.

The gap between Dou Zun and Dou Huang cannot be measured in words. Not to mention that Xiao Yan is only a nine-star Dou Huang. If Lei Zun is really determined to stand still, even a nine-star Dou Zong may not be able to make him retreat.

Feng Qing'er's eyes turned cold. It was obvious that Lei Zun had made this request to embarrass Xiao Yan, and he was determined to make Xiao Yan give up.

Feng Qing'er is a person with a strong sense of self. Once she makes a decision, no one can interfere too much, even if Lei Zun is her teacher.

To be honest, Feng Qing'er knew that Xiao Yan's strength was far beyond his level, but after all, Lei Zun was a three-star Dou Zun. And through the battle with Hong Tianxiao that day, Feng Qing'er didn't think that Xiao Yan's strength was strong enough to shake a Dou Zun.

But Xiao Yan had already agreed, so Feng Qing'er couldn't step out to stop him. She had already made up her mind that no matter what the result was, she would not pay attention to Lei Zun's interference.

What does the agreement between Lei Zun and Xiao Yan have to do with me?

Xiao Yan had no idea what Feng Qing'er was thinking, and said in a deep voice.

"Then senior, I will show you my ugliness."

As soon as he finished speaking, three clusters of flames of different colors burst out from Xiao Yan's body and surrounded him. It looked very gorgeous and beautiful. Venerable Lei and the other three venerables were all shocked when they saw these three clusters of different-colored flames.

Strange fire? Or all three at once?

This instantly changed their expressions when they looked at Xiao Yan. In their knowledge, it was unheard of that someone could retain three kinds of strange fire in his body!

The looks in the eyes of Huang Quan Zun and Jian Zun when they looked at Xiao Yan changed. Although Xiao Yan was only a nine-star Dou Huang, the fact that he could possess three kinds of strange fire at the same time proved that he was definitely not an ordinary person. Perhaps his real identity was the young master of a hidden big family?

After a brief moment of astonishment, Feng Xian seemed to have thought of something, her eyes instantly became gloomy, and her beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Yan. But if you look closely, you can see that there is an imperceptible excitement mixed in with her gloominess.

When Venerable Lei saw Xiao Yan reveal three kinds of strange fire, his face became solemn, but then he relaxed. Immediately, disdain flashed in his eyes and his words were full of contempt.

"Three kinds of strange fire coexisting in one person is indeed unheard of and rare in the world." Lei Zun stood tall and looked down on Xiao Yan with contempt, "But unfortunately, you are just a nine-star Dou Huang. Even if you have three kinds of strange fire, what can you do to me?"

Yes, even if he possessed three kinds of strange fire at the same time, Xiao Yan's own strength was only that of a nine-star Dou Huang. The strange fire activated by this level was nothing to worry about.

The gap between a three-star Dou Zun and a nine-star Dou Huang is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth, and it cannot be filled by the number of strange fires!

"Come on, kid, I want to see what you can do!"

Venerable Lei was full of pride and had a very arrogant attitude. Even though Xiao Yan took out three kinds of strange fire, he did not take it seriously.

Xiao Yan remained unmoved by Lei Zun's undisguised contempt. He concentrated on controlling the strange fire to continuously burst out of his body, flow, and finally gradually gather in front of him.

Looking at the three colored strange fires gathering together, constantly building and arranging, the expression on Lei Zun's face became more and more wrong.

Although he was originally full of confidence, he gradually showed doubts and a trace of fear rose in his heart instinctively.

What is this kid going to do?

Not only Venerable Lei, the expressions of the other three Venerables also became more and more solemn. They all felt that Xiao Yan seemed to be about to do something extraordinary.

After just a few seconds, the three-colored strange fire finally gathered together, and a fire lotus with three colors arranged crosswise appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. The gorgeous beauty made everyone who saw it sigh in admiration, as if it was a natural work of art.

However, in the next moment after the Fire Lotus was formed, the faces of all the venerables from the Four Square Pavilion present changed drastically, their bodies suddenly tensed up, and Venerable Lei, who was closest to the Fire Lotus, had his hair standing on end!

What the hell is this? What the hell is this?!

Is this something that a Nine Star Dou Huang can create? ! !

With his intuition as a three-star Dou Zun, he immediately felt that beneath this seemingly beautiful fire lotus, there was a terrifying energy that could destroy the world!

"Boy! Put it away! Do you want to die together?!"

Venerable Lei's face was horrified and he couldn't help but point at Xiao Yan and curse. He had no doubt that if Xiao Yan was not careful, no one present would be spared, including himself!

However, Xiao Yan's expression remained normal, with one hand holding the fire lotus in the air, his eyes slightly lowered, and he spoke lightly.

"Senior, please step back."

"Um?!"

Venerable Lei suddenly lowered his head and found that the fear he had just felt due to the crisis in his heart had caused him to unconsciously take several steps back!

In an instant, Lei Zun's face turned extremely dark.

Xiao Yan hasn't used this yet. He just showed the fire lotus and he was so scared that he unconsciously moved away from him. If it really hit him, he would definitely use space transfer to run away without hesitation!

How could he, a mere nine-star Dou Huang, create such a terrifying thing? !

As for the dark complexion of Lei Zun and his embarrassment as he was frightened by the fire lotus and took several steps back, Jian Zun and Huang Quan had no intention of making fun of him.

If they were in the position of Lord Lei, they would probably retreat even further!

Venerable Lei was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't even utter a word to make excuses.

Obviously, he lost this agreement. Xiao Yan didn't even try his best. He simply presented the fire lotus in front of him.

It's fine if he lost the agreement, but he also lost face! A great Lei Zun was scared away by a nine-star Douhuang kid. If this gets out, how can he put his face aside? !

Venerable Lei looked at Xiao Yan with eyes filled with rage. After a long time, he forced himself to suppress it, took a deep breath, and calmed his trembling heart.

Then he said reluctantly with a gloomy face and a deep voice.

"Alright! You win!" Lei Zun glared at Xiao Yan with gritted teeth, "According to the agreement, I will never ask about your affairs with Qing'er again!"

After hearing the assurance from Lei Zun, Xiao Yan easily dispersed the Fire Lotus in his hand. This Fire Lotus was difficult to create only when it was first developed, and it was basically impossible to disperse it. But now that he had the experience of the first time, he knew the structure of the Fire Lotus like the back of his hand, and it was not difficult to disperse it at all.

At the same time, Xiao Yan felt relieved in his heart. The original intention of creating this fire lotus was not to win the battle, but to stop the battle. He had been worried about whether it could play this role. Now it seems that there is indeed no problem.

"I'm deeply sorry for accidentally scaring you."

Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and said this sincerely, without any dark thoughts in his mind.

But these words immediately changed their meaning when they reached Lei Zun's ears. It sounded like Xiao Yan was deliberately mocking him, but the facts just now were in front of him, making it impossible for him to refute.

"Humph!"

In the end, the ferocious-looking Lei Zun could only snort coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around and sat back in his seat.

Being scared away by Xiao Yan was already embarrassing enough. If he attacked Xiao Yan unreasonably, then the little face he had left would be completely lost. After all, the other three venerables were still watching here.

Cai Lin couldn't help but find it funny when she saw the deflated look on Lord Lei's face, and at the same time, she felt a deep sense of pride in her heart.

It is simply impossible to scare off a three-star Dou Zun with the level of a nine-star Dou Huang, but Xiao Yan did it.

This is my man!

Feng Qing'er was also proud of Xiao Yan from the bottom of her heart, but at the same time she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She thought she had estimated Xiao Yan's strength to be high enough, but now it seems that it is still a long way off. He is always so unexpected.

Then Feng Qing'er frowned slightly and glanced at Master Lei.

Feng Qing'er knew her teacher's temper very well.

Xiao Yan made Venerable Lei lose face in front of the other three Venerables. Given Venerable Lei's character, there is no way he would just let it go.

But the other party was her teacher after all, and had nurtured her. Feng Qing'er really couldn't say any harsh words to warn him, and for a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Just as Feng Qing'er was thinking about what to do, Feng Xian suddenly stood up, walked in front of Xiao Yan with her long legs, stretched out her jade hand, grabbed her collar in front of Xiao Yan's astonished gaze, and lifted him up to her face.

The situation where he was almost face to face with Feng Xian made Xiao Yan smell a faint fragrance. Looking at the almost impeccable face in front of him, Xiao Yan had no other thoughts at all. His heart was beating fast and his mind was a mess.

This is Lord Feng. Why did he suddenly do this to me? What did I do wrong?

Xiao Yan's body tensed up unconsciously. Before he could open his mouth to ask, Feng Xian's eyes became increasingly cold, and icy questions slowly flowed out from her lips.

"What is your relationship with her?"

Chapter 553 The Last Guest

Oops! It's over!

Yao Chen in the ring heard Feng Xian's questioning of Xiao Yan, and was so scared that his soul couldn't help but tremble. Although he blocked his soul's perception of the outside world in order not to be discovered, he could still hear the sounds around him.

There was no need to think too much. Feng Xian must have seen that Xiao Yan possessed three kinds of strange fire at the same time, and immediately connected it with the Burning Technique that she had mentioned to her.

At this moment, Yao Chen really hated his past self. You said you had nothing to do and followed Feng Xian to talk about the Burning Technique. Why?!

But now, it's too late to undo what's done. If it were someone else, they might be able to cover it up by telling a lie, but with Xiao Yan's personality, it is extremely difficult for him to tell a lie.

Originally, Yao Chen guessed that Feng Xian must be in a bad mood since she had disappeared for such a long time. The few words Feng Xian said after she came in confirmed her guess. Feng Xian's mood was even worse than she had guessed!

I could at least run away before, but now if Feng Xian catches me in this soul form, I’m done for!

Thinking about the future he might encounter after being caught by Feng Xian, Yao Chen couldn't help but tremble and prayed silently in his heart, praying for a miracle to happen.

Not sure if Yao Chen's prayer worked, but Xiao Yan was slightly stunned when he heard Feng Xian's question, then he tilted his head and asked back in confusion.

"Who is she you are talking about?"

It was really not that Xiao Yan was pretending to be stupid, but Feng Xian rushed up to him without any warning and grabbed his collar, without even asking a question, which made him unable to wrap his mind around it for a while.

But after saying this, Xiao Yan came to his senses, thought about the relationship between Feng Xian and Yao Chen, and immediately understood what Feng Xian meant by this question. Before his expression changed, he felt a force grabbing the back of his collar and snatching Xiao Yan from Feng Xian's hands.

"What do you want to do?"

Cai Lin stood in front of Feng Xian with a cold expression, protecting Xiao Yan behind her, her golden snake eyes filled with hostility.

One-star Dou Zun?
