章節 348: Chapter 349: Xiao Yan admits defeat, the Soul Palace Guardian appears

Chapter 349: Xiao Yan admits defeat, and the Soul Palace guardian appears.

"This is not a reason for the senior to take action. Life and death are left to fate. This is what your disciple asks for. If you show up to help him as soon as he is in danger, then do you think this three-year agreement still has meaning?" Yun Yun said in a cold voice.

"What does Sect Master Yun want?" Yao Lao was also a little annoyed. If Yun Yun was not Xiao Se's woman, he would not be polite to her at all considering that she was only at the peak of Dou Huang.

"Either admit defeat or let them continue fighting. No one is allowed to interfere." Yun Yun said indifferently.

After hearing the conversation between the two, everyone present suddenly realized and thought that it was no wonder that Xiao Yan was able to dodge Nalan Yanran's fatal sword at a critical moment. It turned out that there was an old monster who was secretly helping him, and at this moment the old monster was attached to Xiao Yan.

Yao Lao glanced at Yun Yun, then at Xiao Se, who was resting with his eyes closed and looking indifferent in the VIP seat. He knew that the matter would not be resolved if he didn't do this. The agreement between him and Xiao Se was that after the duel if the Yunlan Sect made things difficult for Xiao Yan, the latter would ensure Xiao Yan's safety down the mountain. Now he had ruined the duel, which was not within the scope of the agreement.

Helpless, Yao Lao could only say to Xiao Yan in his heart: "Xiao Yan, admit defeat. If you continue to fight, not only will you lose your face, but you will also lose your life."

"Teacher, I..." Xiao Yan was unwilling, but from the powerful strength that Nalan Yanran had just shown, he knew that he was indeed no match for her. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, looked at Nalan Yanran with unwillingness and humiliation, raised his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "I give up."

"In that case, there is no connection between you and me anymore. From now on, you go your way and I go mine." Nalan Yanran did not make any sarcastic remarks. Xiao Yan's strength had far exceeded her expectations. At the very least, without the help of the resources provided by Xiao Se, the chances of her losing to Xiao Yan would be very high.

"Defeated?" Xiao Yan did not answer. He covered his chest with his hands, enduring the pain from the sword wound on his body, and murmured with some disappointment.

Three years of shame could never be washed away, and three years of hard work only brought him humiliation once again.

"Why, why did I work so hard for three years but still couldn't get back this bit of face for myself and the Xiao family? I have such a powerful teacher, why am I still not as good as the spoiled young master of the Yunlan Sect? I even nearly lost my life. Why?"

"Little guy..." In the ring, Yao Chen didn't know how to comfort Xiao Yan. Before coming to Yunlan Sect, Xiao Yan told him that he would fight this battle alone. After obtaining the Three Mysterious Changes of Skyfire, Yao Chen had great confidence in Xiao Yan, so he agreed to it.

Unexpectedly, Nalan Yanran, who was originally thought to be spoiled, had combat awareness and combat experience that was not inferior to the well-trained Xiao Yan at all and was even slightly better in combat strategy. What's more, in Yao Chen's perception, Nalan Yanran's cultivation had reached about a two-star Dou Ling.

Although Xiao Yan was able to reach the Grand Fighter level with his help, without the help of the Purple Fire, Strange Fire, and Flying Fighting Skills in the original book, and with his Dou Qi not as good as others, his skills not as good as others, and his fighting skills not much different, it can be said that Xiao Yan had already lost at the starting line, and this was the gap and result created by his strength. Even with the Three Mysterious Changes of Skyfire, the short-term improvement of four-star strength at the Grand Fighter level still could not make up for it.

"Three-year agreement, three-year agreement. Haha, it turns out that I, Xiao Yan, am just a joke, just a joke!" Xiao Yan shook his head in self-mockery and stared at Nalan Yanran with a complicated expression. After a moment, Xiao Yan picked up the Xuan Zhong ruler, took a light step, and slowly left towards the bluestone steps where he came from with a gloomy look.

At this moment, although Xiao Yan wanted to vent his anger, he didn't want to start a dispute on his own. Although he still had the trump card of Yao Lao, that trump card was mixed with Yao Lao's power. Xiao Yan's strong self-esteem did not allow him to use other people's power, especially in this three-year agreement. He had to use his strength to achieve the final victory.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is often cruel. He still couldn't defeat Nalan Yanran by himself.

Although Xiao Yan was confident that he could be fearless even against a Dou Huang expert with the power of Yao Lao, there were still several Dou Huang experts present, especially Yun Yun. Not only was her strength unfathomable, but she was also Xiao Se's woman. If he touched her, there was no guarantee that Xiao Se would not take the opportunity to eliminate him. He did not doubt Xiao Se's ruthlessness at all.

The reason why he didn't attack me, apart from the deal, was probably because he was afraid of Yao Lao's strength.

Xiao Yan didn't dare to take risks. What's more, he was not alone. He had the Xiao family, his father, and his brothers behind him. Compared with the giant Yunlan Sect of the Jia Ma Empire, he couldn't afford to fight...

Looking at Xiao Yan's lonely back, no one laughed at him. After all, not everyone is Xiao Huohuo, and not everyone is Nalan Yanran. At the age of seventeen, he already has the strength of a great fighting master. This was unheard of in the past.

"Finally here." Xiao Se raised the corner of his mouth slightly and slowly opened his eyes. During this three-year appointment, in addition to occasionally paying attention to the battle between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, he was more focused on using the Guiyuan Soul Art to investigate, investigating the mysterious Soul Palace Guardian Wu.

Being cautious and cunning by nature, he finally couldn't hold back and showed up because of Yao Lao's exposure.

Just as Xiao Yan reached the edge of the square and was about to go down the stone steps, a huge amount of black fog suddenly surged out from the sky above the square. The black fog quickly condensed in the sky and finally turned into a ball of deep black fog that was about ten feet wide and long.

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao in the ring looked at the emerging black mist, and their expressions became solemn at the same time.

"Teacher, this is..." Xiao Yan said in a low voice to Yao Lao.

"It's the Soul Palace. We're probably in trouble now." The dark Naxos Sen glowed with white light, and Yao Lao instantly possessed Xiao Yan. He tilted his head and looked at Xiao Se, whose expression was still calm, with a complicated look. He thought to himself: Could it be that he has already defected to the Soul Palace?

"What is this?" Black fog emerged from the sky. In the VIP seats in the square, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and others suddenly looked ugly, with doubts and fears in their eyes. Before the black fog appeared, they didn't even notice it at all.

The elders of the Yunlan Sect and Nalan Yanran seemed to have known about it in advance, and under Yun Yun's command, they left the square one after another.

The black fog didn't care about the surprise of the crowd and the evacuation of the elders of the Yunlan Sect. In the black fog, the eerie laughter echoed in the sky like fingernails rubbing against aluminum sheets. It was extremely harsh.

"Hehe, it's true that you can find something without any effort after searching for it. Yao Chen, I let you escape by chance back then, but it took a lot of effort from my Soul Palace. If I capture you today, I believe the Palace Master will be very happy."

"You are just a bunch of dirty rats who can only hide in the stinky gutter. Back then, you instigated that beast Han Feng to kill our master. Today, I will settle accounts with you." The cold white fire of the bone spirit surged around Xiao Yan after he was possessed by Yao Lao. Yao Lao stared indifferently at the black fog that was laughing strangely, and his voice was full of anger and murderous intent.

"If you were in your prime, I would naturally be no match for you. But now you are just a mere soul body. Hehe, my Soul Palace has plenty of ways to deal with you." The black fog shrank, and finally, under the gaze of everyone present, it slowly condensed into a strange figure in a black robe, with the whole body shrouded in deep black fog. Faintly, a pair of blood-red pupils appeared from under the black robe.

"Damn, he's a mid-level Dou Zong." Looking at the Soul Palace guardian who appeared, Yao Lao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

If it was a low-level Dou Zong, he would be confident that he could resist and even escort Xiao Yan away calmly, but from the other party's undisguised aura, he easily detected the latter's cultivation level, a six-star Dou Zong. This was already beyond the limit of his current strength.

In addition, the Soul Palace possesses secret methods specifically for dealing with soul bodies, so today will probably be very dangerous.

"Yao Chen, accept your fate." Completely ignoring the Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs in the VIP seats in the square, the Soul Palace guardian sneered, moved his hand, and a pitch-black chain extended out from his palm. Finally, with a slight shake, it circled him like a poisonous snake, and then turned into a black line and stabbed towards Yao Lao.

Seeing that the Soul Palace guardian had already taken action, Yao Lao no longer cared about Xiao Se. He controlled Xiao Yan's body to rise into the air. A dark white flame rose in his hand, turning into a rocket that rushed out and finally collided violently with the black chain.

"Bang!"

When the two collided, a dull sound suddenly rang out, but the imagined energy explosion did not come. There was only a circle of pitch-black energy ripples mixed with dark white energy, which spread out silently. Wherever the breath passed, the space trembled.

The black chain was retracted, and the Soul Palace guardian stood in the air without moving. On the other hand, Yao Chen retreated dozens of meters, and the winner was immediately decided after one blow.

"Hehehe Yao Chen, you have become weaker." After repelling Yao Chen, the Soul Palace guardian was extremely happy. You have to know that the former was the dignified Yao Zun who was famous in the Douqi Continent, while he was just a low-level Earth-rank guardian of the Soul Palace.

"Damn it, if I had a real body." Being defeated by a six-star Dou Zong made Yao Chen, who was at the peak of Dou Zun in his lifetime, feel very depressed.

"Yes, it's a pity that you don't." The Soul Palace guardian summoned four chains again, which turned into black lines, cutting through the sky and shooting toward Yao Chen from all directions.

One black chain was enough to make Yao Lao feel exhausted, and this time there were four more. Yao Lao began to feel tired of parrying. You know, these black chains have a very serious restraining effect on soul power. Even with the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, it is extremely dangerous for him in his current condition.

After a battle, Yao Lao gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Hehehe, just surrender, Yao Chen." The Soul Palace guardian sneered and controlled four of the black chains to tie up Yao Chen's limbs. He then urged the last chain to stab Yao Chen's chest.

"Oops." Yao Chen's pupils were empty, and the bone spirit's cold fire covered his entire body desperately, intending to burn the black chains. However, although the strange fire was strong, it would take a certain amount of time to burn the chains.

"Fourth soul skill - Strange Fire Thousand-pound Wall." Just as Yao Lao was about to be pierced through the chest by the black chain and pulled out of Xiao Yan's body, the indifferent voice echoed across the entire Yunlan Mountain sky. Then, a golden flame barrier blocked Yao Lao's body.

The black chain collided with the golden flame barrier, which only caused a tiny ripple of flames and bounced the former back. Yao Lao also took the opportunity to control the bone spirit's cold fire to burn off the black chains wrapped around his limbs. In addition to palpitations, a faint smile rarely appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Who is it? Who is playing tricks on me? Get out of here." The Soul Palace guardian looked around, but apart from the sudden appearance of the flame barrier, he did not find any suspicious figures. He was horrified.

"Don't look for me, I'm here." The indifferent voice sounded again, and the golden flame barrier dissipated, revealing a familiar figure of Xiao Se. He was seen standing in the air, suspended between the Soul Palace Guardian and Yao Lao, with a ball of golden flame lingering all over his body. In addition, he was also holding a ball of dark red flame of a completely different color in his hand.

Black, red, red, red, red, seven circles of light rose from under his feet, and dazzling light circled his body.

"It's you." The Soul Palace guardian was shocked. Xiao Se was pretending to be Xiao Huohuo. As a popular figure in the Jia Ma Empire, he naturally paid attention to him. After all, the souls of alchemists are often the most popular in the Soul Palace, otherwise, Yao Chen would not have become the key target of the Soul Palace. He just didn't expect that Xiao Se had already broken through to the Dou Zong level, and he was exuding the aura of a Dou Huang just now.

"Yes, it's me. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xiao Se smiled contemptuously, glanced behind him, and said with a faint smile: "Old Yao, how about you and I keep him here together today?"

"It seems that you deliberately used me to lure this guy out, but since you are fighting against the Soul Palace, I will not pursue the matter. Okay, I will settle this account with him today." Yao Laosen smiled coldly and looked at the Soul Palace guardian again, his eyes full of teasing. Now that the situation has reversed, he can settle accounts with this Soul Palace guardian.

"Then let's get started." Xiao Se shouted in his heart, "Seventh soul skill, Flame True Body."

As Xiao Se shouted in his heart, the seven soul rings around him lit up at the same time. The deep red flame in Xiao Se's right hand slowly merged into the golden flame around him. The golden flame surged and spread suddenly, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire Yunlan Mountain.

"Damn it, it's another strange fire, and it's even stronger than Yao Chen's flame." Feeling the power of the golden flame, the Soul Palace guardian cursed in his heart, releasing black chains to attack Xiao Se and Yao Lao, and at the same time, he shouted without caring about his face: "Yunshan, why don't you come out to help me."
