Chapter 109 An Unexpected Encounter
"Sir, I have come here specifically to request a strange fire at the request of my friend, Dan Wang Gu He. There are two strange fires here now, and each person can only absorb one."
It's a good thing for everyone if we each take one, and Furukawa and I will remember this kindness.
The black-robed Dou Huang sensed that the opponent's strength was slightly weaker, probably at the level of a Dou Wang, and one who had only recently been promoted to Dou Wang.
If a fight breaks out, she is confident she can take down many enemies, but whether the strange fire will be destroyed by the opponent is unknown.
Therefore, she tried her best to remain very polite and avoid direct conflict.
"As expected of a Dou Huang expert, you speak so casually. I have indeed subdued the strange fire here, but even if one person can only refine one, there are countless people in this world who need strange fire. If you want one, you can have it. If you have a high-level Earth-rank Dou Technique, I might be willing to give you one, how about that?"
Of course, Xiao Yan was just saying it; he couldn't possibly reveal his ability to refine multiple different flames.
Now, his divine rune space is like a zoo, containing all the strange fires. When he is in good condition, everyone can live in peace, but if he falls into a near-death state, these strange fires may turn against him.
It can be said that Xiao Yan is now a walking super bomb. Once he embarks on this path, there is no turning back. If he becomes weak, he will die at the hands of the strange fire within his body.
Even if the opponent actually brings out a high-level Earth-rank fighting technique, I would not exchange it with them.
"This... I don't have any high-level Earth-rank fighting techniques, but you must be a Fighting King. If you are willing to give up your Strange Flame, I can pay you two Fighting Spirit Pills and a low-level Earth-rank fighting technique as a reward."
This was already the highest price offered by the black-robed Dou Huang. Even as the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, he only controlled a handful of Earth-rank Dou Techniques, and among them, he only had one fire-attribute Dou Technique.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, only a Dou Zong can create a Di-rank Dou Technique. Since the disappearance of Yun Potian, the founder of the Yunlan Sect, the Yunlan Sect hasn't produced a Dou Zong for hundreds of years.
Resources for Earth-rank combat techniques are naturally very scarce; being able to produce a low-level Earth-rank technique is already the limit.
"In that case, there's nothing to discuss. If you really want it, you can go to the auction house in the Black Corner Region. I will sell the Strange Flame there, and the highest bidder will win."
Xiao Yan spoke in a low voice, portraying himself as a powerful figure from the Black Corner Region.
"Is that so? Since it doesn't make sense, then there's nothing we can do." A jade-green longsword appeared in the hand of the black-robed Dou Huang.
Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Xiao Yan felt that the sword looked very familiar, as if it was extremely similar to Yun Zhi's sword.
"The Yunlan Sect, huh? Interesting. But I'd also like to test just how strong their Dou Huang really is."
Without saying a word, Xiao Yan conjured a giant sword of earthen yellow strange fire, and at the same time, four divine runes were activated, instantly boosting his strength to the level of a nine-star Dou Wang!
"What kind of secret technique is this?!"
The black-robed Dou Huang was greatly surprised. The Yunlan Sect also had secret techniques to improve cultivation, but they were basically useless to Dou Huangs. Even for Dou Wangs, they could only improve by one or two stars at most, and the side effects were extremely severe.
She had never even heard of a secret method to instantly boost eight stars.
"Hmph, it's a pity your basic cultivation level is too low, otherwise this secret technique could even give you the strength of a Dou Huang for a short time. It's just a pity that you're still a little short."
Even a nine-star Dou Wang wouldn't pose much of a threat to a black-robed Dou Huang, given the significant difference in their levels.
If it were three or more nine-star Dou Wangs, she might find it troublesome, but if it were just one person, she was absolutely confident that she could take them down.
"Really? Then let's give it a try."
Holding the Greatsword of Strange Fire, Xiao Yan raised his hand and unleashed a sword aura at his opponent.
This time, Xiao Yan used the power of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, which is ranked eighteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking. It is a combination of wind and fire.
During aerial combat, it can create an extremely hot wind that flows around the user. This hot wind is invisible and intangible; if inhaled carelessly, it will burn the enemy's internal organs, turning their insides to ashes.
However, as a Dou Huang, the black-robed Dou Huang quickly sensed something was wrong. She used her Dou Qi to protect her body and prevent herself from inhaling the scorching wind.
However, doing so greatly depleted her fighting spirit, putting her at a fundamental disadvantage.
"You've actually mastered that raging dragon flame!"
The black-robed Dou Huang was extremely shocked. Logically speaking, a person who has refined a different kind of fire should fall into a period of weakness, but the person in front of him not only had a stable aura, but also had very strong Dou Qi.
Although he possessed the strength of a nine-star Dou Wang, with the aid of the power of the strange fire, even he, a Dou Huang, dared not match him in any move.
"Heh, you can't afford to be distracted during a battle."
Xiao Yan took the initiative to attack, his Dou Qi wings carrying a scorching wind. The Wind Fury Dragon Flame not only increased Xiao Yan's offensive power, but also greatly increased his speed. Even a nine-star Dou Wang could catch up with the black-robed Dou Huang.
Xiao Yan's greatsword clashed with the opponent's longsword, and the terrifying force forced it to bend. The longsword, forged from the body of a sixth-order magical beast, also began to show signs of melting and destruction under the terrifying temperature of the strange fire!
The black-robed Dou Huang was taken aback, not expecting the opponent's attack to be so powerful. She quickly withdrew her attack and created distance, but even so, several parts of her longsword's blade were melted and dulled.
"We can't fight him at close range; the power of the strange fire is just too great. In that case, we can only attack from a distance."
[Advanced Mystic Rank - Extreme Wind - Sunset Glow]!
The black-robed Dou Huang conjured an extremely pure wind-attribute light sphere in his hand, which shimmered with an incredibly dazzling azure light.
This is one of the high-level combat techniques of the Yunlan Sect, a powerful technique that only high-ranking members are qualified to learn.
The cyan orb of light detached from the black-robed Dou Huang's hand and then flew towards Xiao Yan at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Although it was called a sunset, this sphere of light did not have the warmth of sunlight; instead, it only had a cold chill.
This was a full-force attack from a Dou Huang powerhouse, so Xiao Yan dared not be careless. He gathered all his strength to unleash the Wind Fury Dragon Flame and released its complete form!
A huge fire tornado rose from the ground and grew larger and larger in just a few breaths, eventually reaching a height of tens of feet!
The terrifying attraction drew the emerald green orb directly into it, where it melted away layer by layer under the terrifying heat of the fiery tornado, and was eventually completely dissolved.
Since his opponent was a Dou Huang level expert, Xiao Yan didn't need to hold back. He poured almost all of his Dou Qi into the strange fire.
It continued to grow until it reached a height of a hundred feet!
The black-robed Dou Huang did not expect that his opponent could actually unleash the complete form of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. He was careless at this distance and was pulled into it.
Even though she was a Dou Huang with the wind attribute, she could barely break free from the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.
How could Xiao Yan possibly give the other party a chance to escape the Wind Fury Dragon Flame?
"Don't even think about running away!"
While the black-robed Dou Huang was fighting against the terrifying attraction of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Xiao Yan had already arrived wielding the Strange Fire Greatsword.
"Cloud Wind Whirlwind Shield!"
She hurriedly conjured a shield of fighting spirit to mitigate the impending attack, but she did not expect that Xiao Yan's sword would shatter several wind shields she had temporarily summoned in succession.
However, these wind shields did slow down Xiao Yan's attack, giving the black-robed Dou Huang a chance to avoid a fatal blow, but her black robe was also cut in half by Xiao Yan's sword.
Beneath the black robe, along with her flowing black hair, lay a face that was both beautiful and familiar.
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he subconsciously uttered two words: "Yunzhi!"
