Chapter 240 Itchy hands
"Whoo~"
The sky-blue flames slowly dissipated, revealing Yao Yan's figure. His originally perfect face now had an extra vertical pupil between his eyebrows, which was flashing with a black and red halo and was filled with indescribable evil energy. If someone looked into his eyes, they would feel as if their soul had been swallowed up by it.
The vertical pupil that was opened like this soon closed, turning into a purple line that was imprinted on the center of his eyebrows, adding a touch of evil to Yao Yan's originally handsome face.
"Om~"
As Yao Yan opened his eyes, a tremendous force surged out of his body. Tiny purple-black scales appeared on his body surface. At the same time, the bone wings behind him spread out. The power of wind and thunder surged, causing his entire aura to surge by more than ten times in an instant, as if a unique secret technique had been activated.
"...In this state, I should be able to fight against two or three star Dou Zun." Yao Yan clenched his fist and roughly measured his current strength.
Although swallowing the Yin-Yang Dragon and Phoenix Pill did not allow him to possess the body of an ancient dragon or the wings of a celestial phoenix, that strand of dragon and phoenix blood unexpectedly allowed him to master a unique combat mode. The dragon scales on his body greatly enhanced his defense and strength, and the bone wings behind him were amplified dozens of times with the blessing of that blood.
He himself was not very clear about how much his strength had increased at this moment.
After all, he had not fought many times over the years, and no one of his peers could fight with him. Most of the battles were cross-level battles, and those people rarely brought him enough pressure. The only one who could be considered an opponent was the old demon.
Thinking of this, Yao Yan looked at the Heavenly Demon Puppet guarding beside him and couldn't help but smile.
"Looks like I have to find trouble with the Glacier Valley~" Yao Yan's eyes moved slightly. He was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble, but now that his strength had increased, he had no opponent to hone his strength. This feeling was obviously not very good. In the past, he could hone his fighting spirit through alchemy, but alchemy was not as direct as fighting.
The Glacier Valley just happened to not be a serious force, and if he remembered correctly, the master of the Glacier Valley was a person who had been cultivated with a poisonous body.
This secret method specifically designed to cultivate a special physique is extremely attractive to Yao Yan.
He will definitely create a unique martial art of his own in the future, so it will be necessary for him to learn all kinds of secret techniques and martial arts.
"Then let's start from the Glacier Valley." He thought to himself.
As for the reason... it was on the way.
……
In the main hall of Xingyun Pavilion.
When Yao Yan came out of retreat, several Dou Zuns were already sitting in the main hall. In addition to Feng Zuns and Tianhuo Zuns whom Yao Yan knew, there were three other Dou Zuns. When he stepped into the main hall, the gazes of those people instantly gathered over him. Two of them looked at him with a bit of scrutiny, and even their soul power covered Yao Yan.
Yao Yan frowned slightly, and a powerful soul force instantly surged out from his brows, directly shattering the two people's impolite soul forces, and said in an even colder tone: "What do you two mean by this?"
One of them was a gray-haired old man. He sensed Yao Yan's terrifying spiritual power and immediately stood up to greet him. He said with some apology: "Please don't blame me, my friend. It's our first time meeting, and I was too surprised by your age, so I acted subconsciously."
"I heard about your deeds before, and they were a little unbelievable, so I wanted to test them."
"It was the same for me. It was a subconscious action. Please don't blame me!" Another person also stood up and said with an apologetic smile.
The two looked at Yao Yan with some disbelief. At such a young age, he possessed such terrifying spiritual power. Could it be that the news from Danta was true? There really was an eighth-grade high-level alchemist in his early twenties who appeared.
Moreover, the fighting spirit of the young man in front of him is not weak either. His body is in perfect harmony with the space, as if he can merge into the void at any time. This is a method that only a Dou Zun strongman has.
When they received the message from Master Feng before, they were still a little skeptical, but now they believe it completely.
"You two, this is just the time. Next time, I won't be so easy to talk to." Yao Yan said calmly, his tone completely like that of a peer. With his status as an eighth-rank high-level alchemist, his status would undoubtedly be above most Dou Zuns if he were to argue, so naturally he didn't need to care about what the two thought.
"Of course!" The two responded in unison, and they didn't feel ashamed. With the talent shown by Yao Yan, his future achievements would definitely surpass that of Yao Zun.
It is too late to make friends with such monsters. No one will make enemies with them unless necessary, not to mention that Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo are watching them.
"These two are the good friends that Yao Chen made back then, Venerable Tianhuan and Venerable Yan." Venerable Feng felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he stood up to smooth things over, then pointed at the silent old man holding a sword and said, "This is Venerable Tiejian."
Venerable Tiejian had a stern expression on his face. He just raised his head slightly when he heard the words and nodded to Yao Yan as a greeting.
Yao Yan looked at Zun Tiejian twice more. After all, he was a character in the original novel. When no one was willing to help, he took the initiative to join the operation to rescue Yao Lao. He was also a casual cultivator who valued friendship and loyalty, so he was very suitable for recruitment.
"You three should know the goal of this operation." Yao Yan spoke again, and said slowly: "But in addition to the Mysterious Ice Toad King, I also plan to ask the Glacier Valley Master for an item."
"?!"
Everyone was shocked. Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo looked at Yao Yan in surprise. They were not very clear about this matter beforehand.
"What is it?" Venerable Tianhuan stopped stroking his beard, stared at Yao Yan and asked.
"It is rumored that the master of the Glacier Valley cultivated a poisonous body through practice. I am very interested in how he cultivated the poisonous body, and I want to ask him if he has such a secret method." Yao Yan said it directly without hiding anything.
The moment the words fell, Venerable Tianhuan and Venerable Yan could not help but look at each other, and they saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Yao Yan's words were simply crazy.
Hunting down the eighth-rank Black Ice Toad King in the territory of Glacier Valley would be fine, as this matter has already offended Glacier Valley, but Yao Yan still wants to ask the other party for his family's secret method. What's the difference between this and asking someone's wife to sleep with him? It's even worse!
After all, he can still marry again. Once the secret technique is leaked, all his methods will most likely be made public. How can he tolerate this?
“…Young man, are you planning to demand it by force?” Venerable Tianhuan organized his words and asked.
"Otherwise, why would I hire three Dou Zuns?" Yao Yan asked instead of answering.
"With your status as an eighth-grade high-level alchemist, you can definitely trade with Glacier Valley. Why do you have to do this... Could it be that you have a grudge against Glacier Valley?" Skyfire Reverend couldn't help but ask. He felt that the boy in front of him was really crazy.
"Wuqiu, it's just that this secret method is useful to me. As for the trade... do you think the owner of the Glacier Valley will be willing to trade? And even if he is willing to trade, the price is too high and I may not be able to afford it." Yao Yan said calmly.
He had already thought this matter through in just a moment.
Although trading is the best strategy, the skills he will need in the future will definitely not be just one or two. In this case, it would be better to be direct.
"In that case, I'm sorry I can't help you. I can assist you in hunting the eighth-rank Mysterious Ice Toad King, but it will offend the Glacier Valley. I cannot agree to this. After all, I have a family to take care of." Venerable Tianhuan chose to refuse. He did not intend to get involved in what happened next.
If it was just an eighth-rank Mysterious Ice Toad King, with the combat power of the five Dou Zuns present, it could be said that there was no risk at all, and they could get an eighth-rank elixir for free. But if the matter involved Glacier Valley, then the situation would be different. Moreover, Yao Yan was going to offend Glacier Valley to death!
The kind that won’t stop until death!
"I will withdraw as well." Venerable Yan also said, he did not want to accompany Yao Yan to go crazy. After that, the two of them ignored Venerable Feng's request to stay, bowed, and turned to leave.
Yao Yan ignored the two people who left and looked at the Iron Sword Master, asking curiously, "Aren't you leaving?"
"I am a lonely man, and I owed Yao Chen a life. Since you are Yao Chen's junior, I will naturally help you." Reverend Tiejian said calmly, his tone was calm, just like the sword in his hand, as if there was no emotional fluctuation.
"What are you thinking? We finally invited him here, but you just drove him away." Master Feng looked at Yao Yan with a helpless look and asked.
Even if you are interested in the secret techniques of the Glacier Valley Master, there is no need to speak out now. It will not be too late to speak out when you really confront the Glacier Valley at the Xuanbing Mountains. With the strength of the five Dou Zuns, it is enough to suppress the Glacier Valley.
There was a pause.
He said helplessly: "Your name is not loud enough, and you are a little slow in gathering people. I contacted several Dou Zun, and only three of them came... How about we wait and see if anyone comes?"
Yao Yan shook his head slightly and said softly, "You, Elder Yao, and this Iron Sword Venerable are enough to deal with the Black Ice Toad King... As for the Glacier Valley, I plan to block the door alone."
"?!!"
After he finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other, and even Venerable Iron Sword's eyelids twitched.
. . . . . . . . .
The Xuanbing Mountains are located in the extreme north of Zhongzhou. This place is covered with ice crystals all year round. The weather is cold and even the air is extremely cold. If ordinary practitioners step into it for a long time, they will easily be infected with the cold poison. Every year, many people are frozen to death because of this.
Even some dangerous places can freeze soul power.
"Brush~"
As a silver light gate opened, a spaceship floated out. The person leading the bow was Yao Yan. He was dressed in black, and his dark eyes calmly scanned the endless ice crystal world. The majestic soul power swept out in an instant, and the scenery along the way was all reflected in his mind.
"Are you sure?" Venerable Feng looked at Yao Yan seriously, wanting to persuade him to give up. It would not be too late to go to the Glacier Valley after they hunted down the Black Ice Toad King.
“With the Heavenly Demon Puppet, even if I cannot defeat them, I am sure I can retreat unscathed… After my Dou Qi broke through to the Dou Zong level, I have never fought with anyone. Now that my strength has reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zong level, to be honest, I feel a little uneasy. I always feel that my Dou Qi is a little empty, and I want to find someone to try it out.” Yao Yan clenched his fists and expressed his thoughts.
Oh shit!
If you feel like doing it, then do it. Why are you saying something so irritating?
Venerable Feng suddenly wanted to beat this kid up, but he also understood what Yao Yan meant. The other party was planning to use the Glacier Valley to hone his fighting skills. He wanted to persuade him, but finally gave up and said in a serious tone: "Then you kid, take it easy. If anything unexpected happens, send us a signal."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Let's deal with the Black Ice Toad King first." Yao Yan chuckled.
Lord Feng nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, a group of people boarded the space ship to break through the void and rushed towards the distance.
……
This is an ice toad as majestic as a hill, dark blue all over, lying beside a cold pond. Its breath causes countless ice and snow to sweep in from the surroundings, just like a snowstorm. The extremely cold air sweeps across the sky and earth, and wherever it passes, the space seems to be slightly solidified.
At this moment, in a hidden space, the three Dou Zuns joined forces to seal the space, giving Yao Yan time to condense the fire lotus.
"Whoo~"
As four strange fires appeared in Yao Yan's palms, Venerable Feng and Venerable Tiejian both swallowed their saliva. It was not because they had never seen the world, but the scene before them was too horrifying. Any Dou Zun in the world would probably have the same feeling if they saw it.
This is really crazy. He actually plans to fuse the different fires, and fuse four of them at once!
If this thing explodes, everyone present will be seriously injured.
But this level of power is actually controlled by a nine-star Dou Zong, and there is really no sense of security.
“Don’t worry, this kid isn’t using this kind of fighting skill for the first time… In terms of power alone, this fire lotus fused with different fires is even more brutal than the Five-Wheeled Fire Separation Technique I created. Ha, it’s enough to give the Black Ice Toad King a hard time.” Skyfire Venerable said with a smile, looking at the Black Ice Toad King who was still sleeping below, he felt a sense of sympathy for some reason.
"Chichi~"
At the same time, Yao Yan had suddenly slammed the four strange fires together. Immediately, an indescribable destructive energy began to gather and rapidly increased at a geometric rate. The horrifying temperature made this small world dry, and all the moisture was evaporated.
The space around Yao Yan's palm even began to crack, as if it could no longer withstand this force.
Fortunately, the fury soon subsided.
An incomparably gorgeous four-colored fire lotus appeared in Yao Yan's palm. It was delicate and small, and extremely beautiful. The perfect petals swayed gently, causing the surrounding space to collapse. The destructive power contained in it made the three Dou Zuns present look terrified.
"The power has increased again~" Skyfire Venerable couldn't help but say, the four-colored fire lotus in front of him was more than ten times stronger than before, it was really terrifying.
"Let's start." Yao Yan locked his gaze on the Black Ice Toad King below, with a strange fire flashing in his eyes.
……
"Quaa?"
The Black Ice Toad King, who was sleeping on his stomach, suddenly opened his eyes. Just now, he inexplicably felt a pang in his heart, and his back felt slightly cold. He had never experienced this feeling in his thousand-year life.
Soon, it realized the source of this heart-wrenching feeling. It was an extremely beautiful four-colored lotus that slowly fell from mid-air. It looked so different in the wind and snow, and where it passed, it left behind a pitch-black space crack, which was a bit scary.
Its pupils suddenly widened as it sensed the danger. The beautiful four-colored fire lotus was reflected in its pupils, and it had already fallen in front of its eyes.
next moment.
An indescribable destructive force suddenly erupted!
