Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

The scorpion's face was filled with anger and his words were full of resentment, but he did not dare to stop running away. Instead, he ran even faster.

The ground scorpion also had a gloomy look on his face, with sinister eyes flashing red.

"It seems that they are determined to kill us this time!"

The leading Scorpio listened to what the two said, his expression changing from gloomy to bright, his teeth clenched tightly, his eyes filled with resentment.

It's all because of that kid! If it weren't for that kid, the three of them would have been as carefree and unrestrained as they were in the past, and how could they have ended up in such a miserable situation now? !

"Hmm? Be careful!"

Suddenly Scorpio frowned, as if he sensed something. He quickly stopped and stopped the two people behind him.

"Ten thousand feet of flame wall."

Along with a mature and profound voice, a thousand-foot-high wall of fire formed by the fusion of several kinds of strange fire blocked the way of the three people. What was incredible was that this thousand-foot-high wall of fire not only evaporated the jungle it touched instantly, but also did not affect other trees. This was enough to show the terrifying fire control ability of its owner.

And at the moment when the ten thousand feet high flaming wall rose up, dozens of figures flashed one after another, surrounding Scorpio and the other two, looking down at them with stern faces.

Then, a leading man slowly descended from mid-air. Three years had made him look more mature. He was dressed in black brocade clothes and held a giant black ruler that seemed to have been tempered by magma. His tall and straight figure seemed thin, but one could tell at a glance that it contained a powerful force, and his eyes revealed a determination that could not be argued with.

The Young Master of Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Yan!

"Scorpio of heaven, scorpion of earth, scorpion of man, it's over."

Xiao Yan held the Infernal Ruler in his hand, his black eyes revealed endless coldness as he pronounced his verdict on the three people.

Scorpio stared at Xiao Yan's stern face, hatred for Xiao Yan flashing in his eyes.

It was the Xiao Yan in front of them. It was Xiao Yan who destroyed the freedom that the three of them had always had. It was Xiao Yan who set shackles for them that they could not accept. Now he was determined to take their lives!

"Xiao Yan, are you really not going to leave a way for the three of us to survive?"

Scorpio questioned in a deep voice. Xiao Yan stared at him for a long while and said coldly.

"I have already given you a chance." Xiao Yan slowly raised the Infernal Inferno Ruler and pointed it at Scorpio. His voice became increasingly frightening. "I promised you that as long as you join the alliance and abide by its rules from now on, I will forgive you for the evil deeds you have done in the past."

"But unfortunately, despite repeated admonitions, you have no reverence and continue to commit obscene acts, hurting innocent people."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan's eyes became even colder.

"If that's the case, you guys deserve to be in this situation now. What right do you have to blame me for killing you all?"

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Scorpio quickly spoke.

"Give us another chance! We won't do it this time."

"It's too late." Xiao Yan interrupted Tianxiezi's request with a cold voice, murderous intent in his eyes, "I gave you, such vicious people, one chance in order to establish a new order. It is already unfair to those victims. If I give you a second chance, how can I explain to those innocent people who were harmed by you in the underworld?"

After so many years of experience, Xiao Yan knows the nature of these villains very well.

Not to mention giving the three Scorpios one chance, even if you give them ten, a hundred or even a thousand chances, they will still indulge themselves and do what they call free.

It is easy to say that you can become a Buddha by putting down your butcher knife.

However, it is almost impossible to get those who are used to wielding the butcher knife to put it down.

“Having said that, Scorpio, although the three of you have committed numerous crimes, you are still the strongest at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun. You should retain some grace.” Xiao Yan took a step forward and stared at the three of them. “If you beg for forgiveness from me without dignity, your remaining dignity will be shattered.”

Xiao Yan's words made Scorpio understand completely that there was no room for negotiation at all.

This time, Xiao Yan is determined to kill them!

Understanding this, Scorpio's face became ferocious, his body tensed, and he roared at Xiao Yan angrily.

“Xiao Yan! Don’t act like a judge! The three of us will never let you off even if we die!” The Sky Scorpio roared, and ordered the Earth Scorpion and the Human Scorpion, “The three of us will self-destruct at the same time! We will drag a few of them down even if we die!”

This guy is desperate.

Hearing Scorpio's heart-wrenching and crazy order, the alliance members surrounding the three people all frowned and couldn't help but step back.

The self-detonation of three Nine-Turn Dou Zun peak masters is no joke.

However, Xiao Yan was the only one who showed no fear at all. He took another step forward, his voice became even colder, and he did not take Scorpio's words seriously at all.

Seeing Xiao Yan showing no fear at all, Scorpio gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

"Xiao Yan! Do you think we don't dare?!"

After saying that, Sky Scorpio suddenly clasped his hands together, and the fighting spirit in his body began to vibrate wildly. Earth Scorpion and Human Scorpion also did the same thing, causing the surrounding alliance members to clearly feel the surging fighting spirit in the bodies of the three people, and their hearts all paused slightly.

These three guys are serious.

laugh!

The next moment, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the three people, causing the already vigilant people to cover their eyes instinctively. And at this moment, the three Scorpios took advantage of the moment when everyone was blinded and fled in the opposite direction at a high speed.

Self-destruct?

They don't want to self-destruct!

I have finally acquired the strength I have today, so how could I be willing to die in such a miserable way?

Just take advantage of the opportunity when these people are blinded by the white light to escape from here. Zhongzhou is so big, as long as they can escape their pursuit, there will always be a place for them to hide.

Scorpio thought so in his mind, and a smug smile gradually appeared on his face.

However, the next second, Xiao Yan's voice behind him reached his ears, causing Scorpio's heart to instantly fall into an ice cellar.

"Qinghan, do it."

(Qinghan? Gu Qinghan?) Scorpio's pupils suddenly contracted. (I remember he was following that kid all the time)

【Infinite moment】

The sharp knife light cut through the space, and almost at the same time, a deep knife scar appeared on the chest of the three Scorpios, running diagonally through the body. One could even see the severed ribs through the wound!

puff!

This sudden blow of the knife disrupted the fighting spirit of the three people, and the fleeing figures staggered and fell heavily to the ground.

Scorpio lay on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, and saw a cold and beautiful woman standing in front of him, slowly sheathing her long sword with an icy face.

Belongs to Xingyun Pavilion, Gu Qinghan!

"I really overestimated you."

Xiao Yan's voice came from behind the three Scorpios. They turned their heads in horror and looked at Xiao Yan who was slowly walking towards them, his black eyes staring at them mercilessly.

“I wanted to give you a chance to be decent, but now it seems that scum like you don’t need it.” Xiao Yan raised the Infernal Purgatory Ruler wrapped with the Fusion Flame high up to the three people lying on the ground, and a scarlet light suddenly shone in his black eyes. “Since you don’t want to be decent, then I will help you be decent.”

This time Scorpio was really panicked and quickly raised his hand to beg for mercy.

"etc."

"No wait."

Xiao Yan smashed the Infernal Hell Ruler in his hand at the three people without hesitation, getting closer and closer under the desperate gazes of Scorpio and the other two.

boom! ! !

At the moment when the Infernal Ruler fell, a terrifying pillar of fire that reached the sky devoured the three people in an instant like a volcanic eruption. Even the final screams of the three people were covered by the scorching flames. Their flesh, bones and organs were all reduced to ashes. Even their souls were burned without a trace by the Infernal Heart Flame!

The others looked at this scene, feeling the sudden rise in scorching temperature around them, and couldn't help smacking their lips.

This guy's strength is really getting more and more terrifying.

About half a minute later, the pillar of fire gradually dissipated. After it dissipated, everyone couldn't help but gasp. They saw that a bottomless pit with a radius of about ten meters had appeared where Scorpio and the other two were. Black smoke rose from the pit, and the walls of the pit were all charred black, with some sparks faintly visible on them.

Everyone had no doubt that even if the strange fire had dissipated, anyone who touched the black scorched earth with their hands would likely be burned by the scorching heat!

As for the three Scorpios, they had disappeared without a trace, apparently having been turned into ashes by the pillar of fire just now.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan used his soul power to carefully explore the surroundings. Only after he was very sure that the three people were dead did he put away the Infernal Hell Ruler, turned around, raised his hand slightly, and gave orders in a leader's tone.

"Tianhe belongs to us, return to the alliance."

"Yes!"

The deafening echo resounded through the jungle, echoing for a long time.

Zhongzhou, Baiyu City where the Yun family is located.

The Yun family was once an extremely special family that made its fortune by handling funerals for the powerful. This was something everyone in Zhongzhou knew.

Since three years ago, the Yun family's status in Zhongzhou Continent has completely changed.

At the banquet hosted by the Yun family three years ago, Xiao Yan proposed to establish an unprecedented large alliance in Zhongzhou, named [Tianhe].

The Yun family was nominated by Xiao Yan as the leader of the alliance. As a result, the entire Baiyu City was rebuilt in these three years and became the base of the Tianhe Alliance.

At that banquet, forces both large and small joined the Tianhe Alliance one after another. The Xingyun Pavilion to which Xiao Yan belonged was of course the first to join. The Fenyan Valley, Fenglei Pavilion, Danta, and Huazong were the first forces to join. Although there might be personal reasons between Xiao Yan and his apprentice, what made them unable to refuse was that the alliance proposed by Xiao Yan would bring great benefits to them.

Before this, once a dispute occurred between two forces, it was very likely that the confrontation would become increasingly serious due to the lack of mediation. Other unrelated forces would not take the initiative to act as peacemakers between the two sides, not only because they had no reason, but also because they were not qualified. This also led to the possibility that a small conflict would turn into a fight to the death.

The emergence of the Tianhe Alliance undoubtedly provided them with a middle ground where they could ease the conflict through verbal negotiations.

Of course, this is just one of the most obvious benefits. After the top forces such as Fenyan Valley joined, many small and medium-sized forces naturally joined as well, allowing the Tianhe Alliance to reach a very large scale from the beginning.

After the Tianhe Alliance was officially established, Xiao Yan discussed with the leaders of various forces for more than a month, and finally decided on a rule based on the rules listed by Xiao Yan. The rule was later modified based on opinions from various forces and distributed to all forces that joined the Tianhe Alliance, with strict requirements for everyone not to violate it.

It was also during this month of revising the rules that Xiao Yan gradually understood why the strong in Zhongzhou were so respected to such a pathological degree. It all came down to two words: trust.

The trust in Zhongzhou was almost completely destroyed by the powerful force. The weak did not believe that the strong would not plunder them wantonly, so the weak tried their best to become stronger. The strong did not believe that the weak would not threaten them after they rose up, so the strong tried every means to suppress the weak.

The lack of trust is not just between the strong and the weak. The trust conflict between the strong and the strong, and the weak and the weak is even more intense.

After understanding this, Xiao Yan laid the foundation for his future direction: if he wanted to achieve the world in his mind, the first thing he had to do was to use all means to restore the lack of trust among the various forces in Zhongzhou.

The foundation of this trust is the Tianhe Alliance. The Tianhe Alliance must establish absolute trust in Zhongzhou and tell everyone in Zhongzhou.

You may not believe me, Xiao Yan, but you can definitely believe in the Tianhe Alliance and believe in its order!

Relying on this concept, the Tianhe Alliance has gradually grown stronger in the past three years, and almost encompassed 80% of the forces in the entire Zhongzhou. The remaining 20% ​​of the forces were either rule breakers who first joined the Tianhe Alliance and then violated the order and were expelled from the Tianhe Alliance. The three Scorpios from the Yunyu Sect are typical of this type.

The remaining forces refused to join because they could not accept the order set by the Tianhe Alliance. However, under the operation of Xiao Yan and others in the past three years, their tough attitude gradually softened.

Chapter 721 Nalan Yanran has just come out of retreat

Inside the Xingyun Pavilion, the sky was filled with stars as usual, and it should have been extremely peaceful, but it was broken by the endless sounds of children playing, mixed with Zi Yan's wild laughter.

“Hahahahahaha! Want to save people from me? Wait another ten years~”

Although her figure was clearly mature, Zi Yan was standing in the air like a child king with one hand on her waist, and holding a tearful little girl in the other hand. She looked like a devil with a smug smile on her face as she looked at the three breathless children and two young dragon-eating beasts below.

Leading the group was Yun Xiao, who was just ten years old, followed by Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin, who had transformed into human form. The tearful little girl in Zi Yan's arms was Xiao Xiao, who had just learned to walk not long ago but could already barely walk in the air.

"Hurry up and return Xiaoxiao to me! Otherwise I will be rude to you!"

Yun Xiao pointed at Zi Yan in the air with an angry look on his face, and Xiao Xiao, who was held by Zi Yan, cooperated by shedding tears, and waved his hands pitifully and helplessly to Yun Xiao for help.

"Sister Yun Xiao!"

Although Xiao Xiao was already a five-star Dou Zong at the age of three, she was too young and had not yet learned how to use the tremendous power in her body. Moreover, even if she knew how to use it, it would be meaningless against Zi Yan, who had reached the late two-star Dou Sheng level after absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoxiao! Sister will come to rescue you right away!"

Looking at Xiao Xiao's pitiful crying, although Yun Xiao was only a one-star Dou Wang, her sense of responsibility as the eldest sister surged up, and she spread her Dou Qi wings and rushed towards Zi Yan.

"Sister Yunxiao! We are here to help you!"

Seeing Yun Xiao rushing forward, Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin immediately spread their Sky Demon Phoenix Wings and surrounded Zi Yan together with Yun Xiao at a faster speed. Even the two young dragon-eating beasts flapped their wings with difficulty to catch up.

However, in Zi Yan's eyes, their speed seemed to be infinitely slowed down. She didn't even need to look. She just closed her eyes and carried Xiao Xiao to dodge easily.

"Hehehe~ I can't catch it~"

Zi Yan dodged their sudden attacks very easily, and occasionally threw Xiao Xiao back and forth amid her frightened screams. They went back and forth like this for more than a dozen times, and Yun Xiao and the other kids didn't even touch the corner of Zi Yan's clothes.

Yun Xiao, the eldest sister who was unable to get her younger sister back, was extremely angry. She couldn't help but speed up a bit, but it was still of no avail.

"Aaaahhhh!!!"

Xiao Xiao cried even louder, as if because Zi Yan was tossing her back and forth in the air, causing Yun Xiao's eyes to reveal deep anxiety. Zi Yan saw this anxiety, and the expression on her face became even more rampant.

"Meahahahaha~ Too tender, too tender~ Just you little guys. Woo wow!"

Zi Yan was just feeling proud when suddenly a palm strike hit her hard on the head. When she turned around, she saw a young woman with a noble and proud temperament and a sullen face.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin's mother Feng Qing'er's aptitude was greatly improved after absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and her strength has reached the peak of the seventh level of Dou Zun.

Although Feng Qing'er and Zi Yan were weaker, this palm strike was barely enough to tickle Zi Yan, but at this moment, strength was not the only thing that mattered.

Feng Qing'er stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Xiao, who was crying loudly in Zi Yan's arms, over, gently held him in her arms and comforted him softly.

"Be good~ Xiaoxiao, don't cry~"
