Chapter 305 Elder Yao, Someone Threatened Me! (Power Outage, to be continued)
"You have truly surprised me, but even if you have grown somewhat, it cannot change your fate of perishing here today!"
The Heavenly Serpent, its eyes indifferent, watched the approaching Thunder Spear. It straightened its back, no longer hunching, and slowly raised its cane, its surface covered in frost, before fiercely thrusting it towards the Thunder Spear.
"Yeah?"
A sneer from behind caused Tian She's expression to change slightly, as Xiao Bai's figure in front of him was gradually becoming illusory.
"Afterimage!!"
Sensing the fierce wind behind him, the Heavenly Serpent didn't have time to think. He immediately covered himself with an ice armor, and ice crystals continuously condensed in the surrounding space.
Xiao Bai frowned slightly, and his fist, which he had thrown, instantly froze, slowing down.
"How foolish, trying to rely on speed against ice-attribute opponents." Tian She shattered the lightning spear with his cane, turned around with a cold laugh, and his smile gradually froze.
Xiao Bai turned his fist into a palm, and each of his five fingertips emitted a flickering light.
"Damn it!!"
The Heavenly Serpent's old face twitched, and his expression showed a slight sense of apprehension.
The scene of the five-colored illusory longsword in the Tianmu Mountains slashing at Bing Yuan and Bing Fu immediately flashed into his mind, and how similar it was to this light.
"Trying to weaken our sect's cultivation? Dream on!"
He stomped his cane hard in the air and his figure retreated like lightning.
"Too late!"
Light burst forth from Xiao Bai's five fingers, like a long rainbow, and a long sword was held in his hand, radiating an astonishing five-colored glow.
Without any fancy moves, a faint light flickered between his brows, and with one step, the sound of wind and thunder resounded.
"Soul Power"
An invisible force impacted his sea of consciousness, and the Heavenly Serpent's mind went blank for a moment before he saw the five-colored longsword already slashing down.
"Swish"
As the long blade fell, Tian She's mind jolted, and his fighting spirit began to rapidly dissipate, dropping by a significant amount. A strange sense of weakness instantly spread throughout his body.
"Don't even think about it!!!"
Seeing the long sword raised high again, Tian She bared his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and his withered palms were covered with a layer of dark blue frost as he viciously grabbed at Xiao Bai's chest.
Xiao Bai's eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out with one hand.
"boom"
The fist collided with the ice claw, unleashing a terrifying force that transformed into a shockwave that swept outwards in all directions.
Using the force of the impact, the Heavenly Serpent flew backward, roaring:
"Let's attack together! This kid possesses a strange secret technique that allows him to ignore attributes and absorb the cultivation of others to enhance himself!"
"waste!"
Just as Tian Shuangzi was about to attack the Poisonous Woman of Calamity, he cursed angrily. He had originally thought that with the cultivation of the Heavenly Serpent, even if he couldn't destroy that ant, he could at least delay it for a while.
To everyone's surprise, they fled in disarray after just one encounter, utterly disgracing the Glacier Valley.
Turning to look at Xiao Bai, he saw his aura surging, instantly rising from a four-star Dou Zong to a six-star Dou Zong. He was shocked, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
"Very well. I wasn't particularly interested in you before, but now I'm quite interested in your secret technique. As long as you hand over the technique and leave behind the Calamity Poison Body, I won't make things difficult for you today. What do you say?"
"Shameless!"
The two elders of Burning Flame Valley exchanged a glance, cursed inwardly, and looked in the direction of Burning Flame Valley with slight anxiety in their eyes.
Hasn't the Valley Master been enjoying making friends with alchemists these past few years? Why isn't he here yet?
Moreover, the Ice River Valley is so unscrupulous on their territory. If the Burning Flame Valley does nothing under the watchful eyes of everyone, wouldn't people think that they are afraid of the Ice River Valley?
"hehe."
Xiao Bai grinned, revealing white teeth that gleamed coldly. He turned back to look in the direction of the inn, raising an eyebrow.
"Elder Yao, someone is threatening me!"
Upon hearing this, the entire Tianhuang City fell silent.
Faced with the threat of a Dou Zun, why is this person calling out to others so openly? Could it be...?
Just then, a long, exhilarating roar broke the silence.
Upon hearing this long howl, Tian Shuangzi, who had been calm and indifferent all along, suddenly changed his expression, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
"I'd like to see who dares to threaten my young brother Xiao!"
A hearty laugh came from the direction of the inn, followed by a burst of flames shooting into the sky.
In the firelight, a figure in a red robe slowly appeared, stepping through the air, with a trace of wind and thunder power swirling around his feet.
"Battle Master!"
A chorus of stunned, horrified gasps filled the air; those two simple words seemed to possess a strange, magical power, causing the atmosphere of the entire place to freeze.
"How are you feeling?" Xiao Bai asked jokingly, looking at Yao Tianhuo who was walking towards him with a smile.
"Good, very good, excellent!"
Yao Tianhuo took a deep breath, feeling the coolness of the air flowing into his lungs. He could hardly remember how many years it had been since he had felt this real sensation, and a look of infatuation and ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you!!"
After a moment of silence, Yao Tianhuo slowly composed himself, looked at the black-robed youth beside him, and solemnly bowed.
If Xiao Bai hadn't suddenly gone to the underground magma, he might have been forced to watch helplessly as his soul gradually weakened until it dissipated into nothingness.
At that time, there will truly be no more celestial fire in the world.
Although the transaction was made between the two of them first, compared to their lives, the things they traded were nothing more than material possessions!
Given Xiao Bai's abilities, even if he had forcibly taken it, Xiao Bai would have been helpless.
"It's just a small favor, no need to go to such lengths!"
Xiao Bai shook his head, glanced at the people from Ice River Valley, and a slow smile appeared on his lips:
"Besides, if it weren't for what I did that day, I wouldn't have been able to find a Dou Zun to back me up today!"
"Congratulations, Elder Yao, on your new life!" Little Fairy Doctor came to Xiao Bai's side and said with a smile.
She breathed a sigh of relief, not because she was worried about herself, but because with Yao Tianhuo, a Dou Zun, around, Xiao Bai wouldn't have to risk his life.
Every time I see him standing in front of me, I feel worried. I want to fight alongside him, but I'm also afraid of being a burden to him.
"Haha, don't worry, with me here today, I will absolutely not let anyone make things difficult for you!"
Yao Tianhu laughed loudly, took a step forward, and stood in front of the two.
Looking at the group of people chatting and laughing in mid-air from a distance, Liu Qing was dumbfounded.
"This guy also has a Dou Zun expert by his side?!"
Liu Fei, standing to the side, was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her red lips were slightly parted, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.
Despite having overestimated Xiao Bai as much as possible, no one expected that a Dou Zun powerhouse would be so polite to him.
The two from Burning Flame Valley, Huo Yun and his companion, finally came to their senses. Today had truly been one crisis after another. It was already unexpected that Ice River Valley would send out a Dou Zun expert, but they hadn't expected that this young alchemist, whom they were prepared to help, also had a Dou Zun expert behind him.
"Fire Cloud, what do we do now?" Fire Blaze looked at the two opposing sides in the air, his eyes flashing slightly.
They originally intended to speak up and save the young man in black at a crucial moment, thus doing him a favor.
But now it seems that no one else needs it.
"Let's wait and see. Judging from the Ice Valley's appearance, it seems they haven't given up yet!" Huo Yun said in a low voice, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Above the inn, Tian Shuangzi sensed the faint but palpable pressure emanating from Yao Tianhuo, and a hint of seriousness flashed across his eyes.
"May I ask your name, my friend?"
"Heavenly Fire!"
"So it's Venerable Heavenly Fire! I am Tian Shuangzi, the Grand Elder of Ice River Valley!"
Tian Shuangzi's eyes darted around, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said with an air of righteousness:
"Today's events are for the sake of the Central Plains, by our Ice River Valley. The Calamity Poison Body is truly against the natural order. As a Dou Zun, you must know how terrifying it is. If it continues to grow and eventually erupts, the surrounding thousands of miles will be devastated. I hope you will consider the greater good and refrain from interfering in this matter, is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Tianhuo laughed loudly, his laughter tinged with sarcasm:
"What a high-sounding excuse! In all my years, I've never seen such a shameless person!"
His gaze was like lightning as he stared directly at Tian Shuangzi: "Isn't your Valley Master also a person with the Calamity Poison Body? Why don't you commit suicide to atone for your sins?"
Tian Shuangzi's face instantly turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice:
"It seems you are determined to protect the Calamity Poison Body. Don't think that just because you are a two-star Dou Zun, you can act with impunity. My Ice River Valley has never feared anyone, not even him."
"Enough talk, take this!"
Yao Tianhuo was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. It had been many years since he had fought with his body. Now was the perfect time to give it a try.
With a wave of his sleeve, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, five fire spirits condensed: a wolf, a leopard, a lion, a tiger, and a dragon. Upon closer inspection, faint lightning flickered within the bodies of these fire spirits.
"Hehe. Although it lacks the enhancement of a different kind of fire or spirit fire, the violent lightning attribute mixed in with it makes its power quite formidable!"
The originally tranquil energy of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn in at this moment, becoming extremely turbulent.
"Five Wheels Burn the Heavens!"
With a soft shout, the five fire spirits burst forth with dazzling light, crisscrossing and leaping out, transforming into a blazing sea of fire that dyed the entire sky red.
"Tian She, you stop that brat! Bing Hua, Bing Xuan, you two attack together and capture the Calamity Poison Body as quickly as possible!"
Sensing the terrifying power of Yaotianhuo's attack, Tian Shuangzi's heart clenched, and he coldly shouted with a chilling gaze.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Serpent's face darkened, and he looked at the black-robed youth beside the Calamity Poison Body with a look of apprehension.
His cultivation level had now fallen from the peak of the Dou Zong realm to the level of an eight-star Dou Zong realm.
Looking back now, it was pure luck that he was able to get hurt in the Tianmu Mountains that time.
If that kid hadn't been careless at the time, and if the Valley Master hadn't appeared at the end, he might have already perished there.
"Old Snake, there are so many people watching. Is it a bit much for us to bully the few with our numbers?"
The two elders from Ice River Valley, watching the fluctuations in the aura emanating from the Heavenly Serpent, hesitated for a moment before cautiously glancing at Xiao Bai.
".inappropriate!"
".!" Heavenly Serpent.
The Heavenly Serpent remained silent, merely glaring at the two of them.
Bingxuan Binghua gave an awkward smile, somewhat embarrassed.
The two of them were at the peak of the six-star level, slightly stronger than Bing Yuanbingfu, but not by much. In addition, they had witnessed the disheveled state of the Heavenly Serpent.
Both Bing Yuan and Bing Fu died when they faced that person, and Tian She, a peak Dou Zong cultivator, suffered a drop in cultivation. If they went up against him, they would likely face dire consequences.
Seeing the serpent's burning gaze, the two exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and said, "We'll do whatever you say, Elder Serpent!"
"snort!"
The Heavenly Serpent then let out a cold snort, shifted its gaze, gave Xiao Bai a sinister look, turned its head towards a certain point in the void, and slowly said:
"Sect Leader Fei, now that you're here, let's attack together!"
The void rippled slightly, and a figure slowly emerged. The newcomer wore a silver robe and had a sinister face; it was none other than Fei Tian, the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!
"Fenglei Pavilion has no intention of offending Fenyan Valley. However, this person stole our pavilion's inherited fighting techniques, killed four of our elders, and kidnapped our disciples. His crimes are heinous. If we do not take action, Fenglei Pavilion will have no face to stand in Zhongzhou!"
Nodding to the two elders of Burning Flame Valley, Fei Tian turned his gaze to Xiao Bai and said in a gloomy tone:
"The sect leader has ordered that you be captured, your cultivation destroyed, and imprisoned under the Thunder Tower forever."
Before he finished speaking, countless shocked gazes focused on Xiao Bai, all showing expressions of disbelief.
"This guy... actually offended both Ice River Valley and Wind and Thunder Pavilion?!"
"This is insane! Absolutely insane! Even the top powers in Zhongzhou, including those at the Dou Zun level, wouldn't dare offend two of them at once!"
"Cousin." Liu Fei's voice trembled as she gripped Liu Qing's clothes tightly, hesitant to speak.
"Xiao Bai, hehe."
Liu Qing took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner shock: "This guy is really 'hidden talents'."
No wonder I specifically told them not to get involved with him.
Even the two elders of Burning Flame Valley, Huo Yun and Huo Lie, showed expressions of disbelief.
"This person..." Elder Huoyun's lips twitched, "He's incredibly audacious."
Elder Huo Lie shook his head with a wry smile: "This matter is beyond our control. We shouldn't interfere rashly; let's wait for the valley to decide!"
In the sky, upon seeing Fei Tian appear, Tian She quietly breathed a sigh of relief. With an eight-star Dou Zong expert making a move at the same time, his fear of Xiao Bai instantly diminished by eighty percent.
"I and Pavilion Master Fei will surround and kill him. You two go and capture the Calamity Poison Body!" Tian She glanced at the two beside her and said coldly.
Bingxuan and Binghua exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
The four of them moved swiftly, surrounding Xiao Bai and Little Fairy Doctor. Their chilling aura spread out, locking onto the two of them.
"Xian'er, those two six-star Dou Zong are yours!"
Xiao Bai slowly swept his gaze around. Two peak eight-star Dou Zongs and two peak six-star Dou Zongs—this lineup, if Dou Zun didn't appear, would truly be invincible below the Dou Zun level.
However, his eyes remained expressionless, and a faint smile even appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A siege? Others might be afraid of that, but for him, the thing he fears least is being surrounded.
"Don't worry, you've handled the two most difficult ones, leave the rest to me!"
With a playful tilt of her head, Little Fairy Doctor gazed at Xiao Bai with her beautiful eyes, a bright smile blooming on her delicate face.
She thought Xiaobai would protect her from behind again, but she didn't expect that this time he would let her stand side by side.
This instantly lifted her spirits, which had just been feeling a little disappointed. The purplish-gray poisonous mist slowly condensed in her palm, and her eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
"Sect Master Fei, be careful of his secret techniques. Don't let his cultivation level rise too quickly, otherwise, with the balance of power shifting, we..."
"Hmph, a mere secret technique is nothing but a death throes in the face of absolute power!"
Fei Tian sneered and interrupted Tian She. His body flashed with silver light, and the power of wind and thunder roared out. He unleashed the aura of an eight-star Dou Zong without reservation.
He clasped his hands together, and lightning condensed in his palms, transforming into a huge lightning spear. The spear was wrapped in violent wind and lightning power, and the surrounding space trembled continuously. The spear tip pointed directly at Xiao Bai.
