Xiao Ning inserted one hand into Xiao Yan's heart, and the black and red devouring Dou Qi absorbed everything in Xiao Yan's body, turning it into nutrients to nourish the growth of his body. The Dou Qi that had just broken through not long ago began to surge again, and the Dou Qi cyclone in his body quickly increased in size, and at an exaggerated speed, it moved towards the Dou Master.

"Xiao Yan, don't blame me. You can only blame yourself for coming to the back mountain and seeing everything... It's all because of you!" He muttered to himself while draining Xiao Yan's fighting spirit and vitality, as if he was looking for an excuse for himself. He needed this excuse to suppress the panic in his heart.

The first time he killed someone, it was Xiao Yan, so he naturally felt fear, terror, and even reluctance... But for his own future, he had to do it.

The teacher is right. What should he do if Xiao Yan tells all this?
He couldn't entrust his future to Xiao Yan and bet that Xiao Yan could keep the secret!

Because if he loses the bet, he will lose everything.

If outsiders knew about this technique, would they be tempted? Even Xiao Yan himself would be tempted, would he try to snatch it in the future...

As the fighting spirit in his body increased, the black and red light in Xiao Ning's eyes became more and more intense, drowning out the last bit of reluctance. At the same time, the speed of devouring also began to accelerate with the growth of strength. Xiao Yan's originally strong body began to shrivele, the light in his eyes began to dim, and his life entered the final countdown.

At this moment, Xiao Yan could clearly feel the Dou Qi in his body flowing into Xiao Ning's body. As the Dou Qi cyclone collapsed, unspeakable pain tortured his whole body. The pain of having everything taken away from him almost drove him crazy. But he could do nothing at the moment and could only watch Xiao Ning devour him and watch himself walk towards death step by step.

Despair, unwillingness, doubt, anger...all flooded into my heart.

Xiao Yan didn't understand why Xiao Ning became like this. Where did he get this magic skill that could devour other people's fighting spirit? He even attacked him. Did he really have no humanity at all? !
I am his cousin!

They are his beloved relatives and friends!
"I can't die. If I die, he will definitely attack my father and the others in the future! He has gone crazy!" Xiao Yan's heart was filled with strong unwillingness. He began to resist with all his might, trying to resist Xiao Ning's devouring. However, with the blessing of the Emperor's Fire, his resistance was in vain and he could not shake Xiao Ning at all.

However, in less than half an hour, Xiao Yan's body turned into a dried corpse. The light in his eyes had faded and was dull. Everything in his body had been devoured by Xiao Ning, leaving no life left.

“Huh~” Xiao Ning slowly pulled his hand out and took a long breath. The Dou Qi surging in his body became dozens of times stronger. Feeling the surging power in his body, the slight guilt he felt towards Xiao Yan disappeared instantly. He laughed grimly in a low voice: “Is this a Dou Master? Sure enough, he is much stronger than a Dou Zhe, hehehe!”

As the fighting spirit in his body circulated at a high speed, a layer of black and red fighting spirit gauze appeared on his body surface, making his temperament even more weird and eerie, unlike that of an ordinary person.

"Who dares to look down on me now?!" Xiao Ning sneered in his heart. At this moment, he could not feel the limit of his body at all. If there were enough food for him to consume, he might even be able to step into the Dou Wang or even Dou Huang level within a day!
Unfortunately, a strong man of that level is not someone he can afford to provoke at the moment.

But one day.

They also have to sink and tremble under their own feet.

"It's time to go~" An old voice emerged in Xiao Ning's mind.

Xiao Ning nodded, restrained his breath, then looked at Xiao Yan who had turned into a mummy at his feet, frowned slightly, and without touching any of the items on his body, bent down, picked it up with one hand, walked to the edge of the cliff not far away, and threw it directly down.

He stared at the falling mummy with cold eyes, and only turned and left after the mummy disappeared into the abyss.

A quiet mountain path.

Xiao Ning's face looked uncertain under the shade of the tree. He sent a message in his mind: "Teacher, how much strength do you have left?"

"There are not many left. They are okay for dealing with fighting masters, but if you want to go beyond that, you will have to fight hard... Don't expect your master to help you hunt strong ones. If you want to become stronger, you have to rely on yourself. At most, your master can help you when your life is in danger, but if you rely on this, you are destined to not go far!" The old voice carried a bit of warning and reminder.

"Teacher, please help me again... There are many fighting masters in Wutan City. Even if I only devour some of them, my strength should be able to reach that of a great fighting master!" Xiao Ning said greedily.

Once Pandora's box is opened, it can apparently never be closed again.

After experiencing the thrill of rapid advancement, he no longer had the heart to practice on his own. The Heaven-Devouring Demon Art was not suitable for slow practice at all. There was only one way to practice it, and that was to continuously devour the strong!
"You finally got it! But I advise you not to take any action in Wutan City. Too many people have disappeared, which will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble... Let's go to another place!" Tianzihuo did not forget Yaoyan's instructions and spoke.

After all, the Xiao family was being watched by the ancient clan, so it would obviously be inappropriate to make too much noise.

"...Okay!" Xiao Ning pondered for a moment before responding in a low voice.

……

Yao Yan only found out the news that Xiao Ning had killed Xiao Yan the next day. He did not pay much attention to Xiao Ning and just gave him a few instructions about Tianzi Fire and let him do it. He did not expect it to be so powerful. In just a few days, it brought him a "big surprise".

As expected, people learn bad things very quickly. It has only been a few days and Xiao Ning dared to kill his own cousin. How cruel!

"Young master, are you interested in that kid named Xiao Yan?" Tianzihuo noticed the change in Yao Yan's mood, the black flames around his body trembled, and he asked tentatively.

"Is the body destroyed?" Yao Yan pondered for a moment and asked.

"Thrown down from the cliff at the back of the Xiao family's mountain... Does the young master think he can still survive?" Tianzi Fire laughed strangely, obviously thinking that such a thing did not exist at all. It lent some power to Xiao Ning and watched him suck Xiao Yan into a mummy. If he could still survive, then it would be weird.

Will he die?
Yao Yan was very curious, he knew that it was very difficult for "sons of luck" like Xiao Yan to die. According to the routines of some novels, they could always turn danger into safety, even if their bones were turned into ashes, they could still crawl out of hell because this world chose them.

He had not touched Xiao Yan before, and also wanted to see if Xiao Yan could take a different path from the original.

But I didn't expect that he would die so quickly!
"I'm going out for a while and will be back soon." Yao Yan looked at Yun Yun in front of him and said softly.

Yun Yun nodded slightly upon hearing this, but did not ask any questions.

Yao Yan's figure disappeared from the small house in the forest. When he appeared again, he was already at the edge of the cliff at the back mountain of the Xiao family. Looking at the abyss below, his soul power directly immersed in it and began to search.

Soon, he found Xiao Yan's body on a leafy tree trunk, a badly mutilated corpse.

With one step forward, Yao Yan appeared beside Xiao Yan's body. Looking at the dead Xiao Yan, he was speechless. He didn't expect Xiao Yan to die like this. He died so easily without causing any noise. If he hadn't asked today, he wouldn't even know that Xiao Ning had swallowed Xiao Yan.

Fate is unpredictable. Just a slight fluctuation can lead your life to a different path.

Ever since Yao Yan took away Yao Lao and the Burning Decree from the Xiao family, Xiao Yan is no longer the protagonist of this world... To be more precise, since Yao Yan appeared, the fate of everyone in this world has changed, not just Xiao Yan.

"Young master? Do you care about him a lot?" Tianzihuo emerged from Yao Yan's side. The ghost face transformed by black flames asked with a little uneasiness. It felt that it might have done something wrong. Yao Yan had indeed told it before not to touch anyone from the Xiao family easily.

It was just that Xiao Yan suddenly appeared yesterday, so it had no choice but to let Xiao Ning take action. After all, the martial arts that Xiao Ning practiced could not be seen in public.

That’s all… Yao Yan sighed in his heart, calmed down, and said to Tian Zihuo: “Arrange for Xiao Ning to leave the Xiao family as soon as possible. This place can’t stand the tossing… Let him go to the Black Horn Region. Then you can cultivate more seeds in the Black Horn Region.”

There are not many good people in the Black Horn Region, which is very suitable for cultivating the seeds of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art.

"Okay~" Tianzihuo responded with a smile upon hearing this, and then disappeared in front of Yao Yan. It is now becoming more and more interested in this cultivation game. Compared to killing people, playing with people's hearts is obviously more interesting.

Yao Yan raised his hand and summoned the fused strange fire, setting the corpse on fire. Looking at the gradually dissipating corpse, he inexplicably had some insights in his heart.

Perhaps there is no so-called son of luck in the world, there are only winners and losers.

But isn’t that how the world is?
After witnessing the corpse burn in the flames, Yao Yan disappeared from the spot.

……

……

Bamboo Forest House.

Yun Yun looked at Yao Yan who had suddenly returned, her eyes showing a strange color, and asked, "Is it dealt with?"

Yao Yan handled things too quickly. Before she had even finished dealing with the things on the table, the other party came back. It took less than a cup of tea.

"Nothing happened. It was just something unexpected that happened. Someone I knew died, and I went to see him off." Yao Yan explained softly, and after a pause, he continued, "You should also know that person... Xiao Yan."

"Xiao Yan?" Yun Yun was stunned when she heard this familiar name, and then she thought of Nalan Yanran's fiancé who broke off the engagement a few days ago. The other party was called Xiao Yan.

"How did he die?" Yun Yun asked with a slight movement of her eyes.

"It has something to do with me... When I was in the Xiao family, I taught a person a martial art. That person made great progress in his practice, but he had some conflicts with Xiao Yan, so I killed him." Yao Yan smiled helplessly. He really didn't want to kill Xiao Yan, but the other party died just like that, and his death was extremely abrupt.

Yun Yun nodded slightly, her expression did not change much. For her, the death of an unrelated person would hardly attract her attention, not to mention that she and Xiao Yan had never met. However, seeing Yao Yan's expression of concern about this matter, she could not help but comfort him, "That has nothing to do with you. You are just passing on the skills to others. What path that person will take in the future is not something you can interfere with. You are not his master."

The evil Emperor Fire... Yao Yan was trying to pass the buck in his mind. It seemed that he could only say sorry for Xiao Yan's death.

He changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore... I plan to leave tomorrow."

"...Oh." Yun Yun was stunned when she heard this, and then her heart ached. She responded in a low voice, and at the same time she couldn't help but clench her fists. She wanted to keep him, but there seemed to be no reason to do so. After a long while, she raised her head slightly and said in a nonchalant manner: "I'll take you tomorrow morning."

Looking at the man in front of her, she knew that he did not belong here. He seemed to have always been like this, quietly appearing in her world and quietly leaving, disrupting her world and life.

Yao Yan stood up, and under Yun Yun's gaze, he slowly walked to her side and sat down. He reached out and held her hands between her legs, and said gently, "I will be back."

"When you come back next time, I may not be in Yunlan Sect~" Yun Yun felt the warmth and truthfulness of his palm and was silent for a moment before she turned away her eyes and snorted to express her dissatisfaction. She was not the kind of woman who would come when Yao Yan called and go when he dismissed her.

"If that's the case... I will guard the Yunlan Sect. I believe you will come back." Yao Yan said, lightly holding Yun Yun's somewhat cold jade hand.

"...How can you be like this~" Yun Yun frowned slightly when she heard that, and her indifferent eyes were filled with helplessness and anger.

She actually thought about avoiding Yao Yan, but Yao Yan always barged in so rudely and unreasonably, not giving her any chance to avoid him, just like when he left... He seemed to be always domineering and never asked her if she was willing.

"If I don't take the initiative, do you expect me to take the initiative? If I hadn't been like that at the beginning, you would probably have forgotten me by now~" Yao Yan stretched out his hand and took Yun Yun into his arms, hugging her slender waist, and could clearly feel the warmth and vastness in front of her.

Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, sighed in her heart, and finally did not resist, because resistance was useless. Besides, the other party would leave tomorrow, so it would not matter if he bullied her again.

Leaning in Yao Yan's arms, she was a little confused. After a while, she whispered, "When will you come back next time?"

Yao Yan was stunned when he heard this and fell silent, because he didn't know how to answer Yun Yun's question. The next time he comes back should be after he breaks through to the Dou Di level. If he fails, then this meeting will be the last time.

He was not completely sure about the final outcome, but having come this far, there was no way he could turn back.

So, he made no promises.

Not getting an answer, Yun Yun raised her head slightly and met those hesitant eyes. She did not continue to ask for the answer to this question, but even stretched out her arms and hugged Yao Yan's neck, raised her beautiful face, and touched Yao Yan's lips somewhat awkwardly.

She suddenly didn't want that answer anymore, because she already had the answer in her heart at that moment! (End of this chapter)
