Chapter 348 Cao Ying: I shouldn’t be here

The sudden appearance of the figure in white also startled old man Mu Gu.

But when he saw clearly that the person who walked out of the space channel was Xiao Yuan, he immediately showed a look of contempt.

“How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of me? Others may not know, but I do. You and Xiao Yan are both disciples of Yao Chen. Xuan Yi has never left Zhongzhou in these years. How could he accept a disciple like you from the Jia Ma Empire in the northwest region?”

Elder Mu Gu had already investigated the identities of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan. The reason he sneaked into the Alchemy Conference this time was because of some plans of the Soul Palace, and the other was because of the Burning Art on Xiao Yan!

"If you really investigated us, you shouldn't have had the courage to come to the Dan Society."

Xiao Yuan smiled without comment, then looked at the figure in the white dress beside him.

"Give me the collected herbs and I'll submit them for you. Now you need to leave this place first."

The figure in the white dress nodded slightly, handed the three medicinal herbs to Xiao Yuan, and then walked into the space passage that had not yet dissipated.

As the figure in white dress entered, the space channel slowly closed. Xiao Yuan put away the herbs and looked at old man Mu Gu.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here. The three giants of Danta have blocked the space here. You can't run away, and you can't call for help."

He clapped his hands to shake off the dirt that had rubbed off the herbs, and Xiao Yuan's aura began to surge.

Almost in an instant, the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire reached the third transformation, and Xiao Yuan's aura directly reached the three-star Dou Zun level.

"Three Star Dou Zun!?"

Old man Mu Gu's pupils shrank.

Although he knew that Reverend Qinghai had once fallen into the hands of Xiao Yuan and his group, he did not know how terrifying Xiao Yuan's fighting power was.

Now, seeing that Xiao Yuan had actually raised his fighting spirit realm to this level, he was shocked.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that Xiao Yuan's secret technique was exactly the same as the one Xiao Yan had used before, which were all the Three Mysterious Changes of Skyfire!
But the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire could raise the fighting spirit to such a level, which could only mean that Xiao Yuan must have also practiced the Burning Technique and possessed multiple kinds of strange fire.

How can this be?

Even if these two brothers each have two kinds of strange fire, that makes a total of four kinds of strange fire.

Are Yao Chen's disciples really so lucky?
But no matter what, we must take down these two people today!
As old man Mu Gu thought this in his heart, his eyes became increasingly cold.

Then, as the seals in his hands changed, a strange hot energy suddenly burst out from his body, and then condensed into a strange deep blue crystal layer on his arm. From a distance, it looked like a blue crystal arm.

As he waved his arms, the giant deep blue crystal claw attacked Xiao Yuan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan showed a hint of sarcasm on his face. He then raised his hand and grabbed the dark blue crystal claw through the air.

laugh!
A powerful fighting spirit surged out, carrying with it a dark golden strange fire, transforming into a giant flaming hand that crushed the giant crystal claw.

"There's no need to use such a petty trick to embarrass ourselves!"

With a sneer, Xiao Yuan stretched his muscles, then twisted his waist and threw out a simple punch. The air in front of him was compressed to the extreme, turning into an air cannon, shooting towards old man Mu Gu.

The fist had not arrived yet, but the fist wind had already arrived. The terrifying fist wind was so far away that it made old man Mu Gu's hair flutter backwards.

The skin on his cheeks was also trembling due to the wind.

Old man Mu Gu waved his arm covered with a dark blue crystal layer and blasted out, blocking Xiao Yuan's attack.

A terrifying energy ripple swept out like lightning, and within a radius of a hundred meters, the grass was blown away by nearly half a foot. Some towering trees were broken in half, and a lot of wood chips and dust burst out from the broken places.

“Hehehe, you do have some brute force, but with your strength, I’m afraid you can’t stop me today!”

Old man Mu Gu laughed wildly.

However, the next moment, Xiao Yuan's fist landed on his face, knocking him into the ground below.

"What were you barking about?"

Xiao Yuan, whose body was flashing with green lightning, asked in confusion with a thunderous roar.

Cao Ying, who was thrown away, was worried about Xiao Yan. As soon as she flew back, she saw the horrifying explosion. Before she could react, she found herself being carried by Xiao Yuan and flew out again.

"What's going on?"

Cao Ying blinked and asked blankly.

Xiao Yan let her go, shrugged his shoulders, and explained, "The woman in the white dress just now took advantage of us being chased to crush the space stone and went outside to get help. Look, she called my third brother over, and he's fighting with that old bastard from the Soul Palace."

"You mean Xiao Yuan?"

Cao Ying widened her eyes, then turned her head to look over, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Yuan, the man with a terrifying aura, in mid-air.

"Oh my god, how did this guy practice?"

After a while, Cao Ying couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Just, practice normally?"

Xiao Yan stroked his chin and said as a matter of course.

???

Cao Ying fell silent.

Old man Mu Gu dug himself out of the ground in a panic. His cheeks were bruised, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely gloomy.

He simply couldn't accept that he had just been punched into the ground by Xiao Yuan!

Taking a deep breath, his dry hands slid out of his sleeves, and then he formed seals at lightning speed!

"Netherworld Demon Fire Arm!"

As a cold shout came out of the old man Mu Gu's mouth, deep blue flames quickly erupted from his body like a volcano and condensed into a deep blue flaming arm. As the flames rose, this arm gave people an extremely cold feeling, like the arm of the god of death.

Looking at the giant arm surrounded by deep blue flames, Xiao Yuan curled his lips.

A cold look flashed across old man Mu Gu's eyes, and his hand print suddenly changed. The giant flaming arm suddenly rose up, and then like a meteorite, it smashed down towards the direction where Xiao Yuan was. Along the way, the space collapsed directly, revealing many dark space holes.

The giant flaming arm flashed down, and when it reached a certain distance, the flames on it suddenly exploded, and the giant flaming arm also swelled up in the wind, and in a flash it turned into a huge shadow of nearly a hundred feet in size, covering the forest below!

The flaming arm was gradually enlarged in Xiao Yuan's pupils. Xiao Yuan's eyelids drooped slightly, then suddenly raised them. A sharp light emerged and his hands formed seals like lightning.

The majestic fighting spirit surged out and condensed into a crystal clear handprint in front of Xiao Yuan.

Annihilation Seal!
The crystal handprint whizzed out and collided with the dark blue arm.

A thunderous roar suddenly resounded like thunder in the sky. A terrifying energy storm instantly took shape and swept across the entire mountain. The entire mountain trembled under the raging energy storm. Huge cracks of more than ten feet in diameter quietly emerged. The sudden energy storm also attracted the attention of many high-level monsters on the mountain. However, when they felt the horror of the energy storm, they were all horrified and rushed out of the mountain with all their strength. This level of battle was not something they could get involved in.

The spreading energy ripples razed nearly half of the forest on the mountain to the ground. A huge, deep pit, hundreds of feet in diameter, gradually appeared at the center of the explosion.

"hiss"

Looking at the huge pit that was nearly a hundred feet wide and bottomless, even with Cao Ying's great concentration, he couldn't help but gasp. Such terrible destructive power was worthy of a battle at the Dou Zun level.

Xiao Yan was much calmer, but his eyes were still scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

The diffuse yellow dust had just risen into the air when it was blown away by the strong wind. In the sky, Xiao Yuan's eyes quickly swept below and then stopped on the old man Mu Gu whose body was floating in the air.

At this moment, old man Mu Gu's arms were covered in blood and his breathing was quite rapid. He had suffered a great loss from the previous attack.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with the power of the Annihilation Seal.

After all, if it was Venerable Qinghai, the Annihilation Seal just now would be enough to kill him.

This old man Mu Gu still has some strength, he just suffered some injuries.

Although this is also because Xiao Yuan did not use his full strength, the power of the Annihilation Seal should not be underestimated.

Old man Mu Gu's face looked a little uncertain.

According to the plan, he still has to participate in the next Alchemy Conference and win the championship, and then wait for an opportunity to snatch the Three Thousand Flames of Fire. If he fights Xiao Yuan to the death here, then how will he have the energy to compete with others?

With such concerns, he couldn't really fight Xiao Yuan to the death, but if he didn't really take action, he wouldn't be able to defeat Xiao Yuan. This situation put him in a vicious circle. No matter what, he couldn't take care of both ends.

Xiao Yuan's strength really exceeded his expectations!

The old man Mu Gu's eyes flickered rapidly. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and turned his eyes to Xiao Yuan in the sky. He shouted coldly: "Xiao Yuan, I am also an alchemist participating in the alchemy conference. As the person in charge of this alchemy conference, you attacked me, a contestant. Aren't you afraid that the Alchemy Tower will lose face?

"Miss Xuan Bing just told everyone that people from the Soul Palace had sneaked into the Alchemy Conference, slaughtered alchemists, and collected their souls. Therefore, your eligibility to participate has been wiped out, and your helpers will all die today!"

Xiao Yuan said with a sneer.

He was not just watching the show just now. The scenes of the alchemists being slaughtered were all recorded by "Xuanbing" with his soul power and engraved on the jade piece. Another show was just performed outside, and the crowd outside was already excited.

When he came in, he also put on enough pretense, asking for permission from the Big Three and requesting them to seal off the space.

In the space channel that no one can see, the phantom body Xiao Yuan and "Xuan Bing" exchanged again, becoming the phantom body "Xuan Bing" and the real body Xiao Yuan.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that I would end up falling for that woman. Is she in cahoots with you?"

Old man Mu Gu laughed out of anger and asked.

"I don't know her, but she is really smart."

Xiao Yuan wanted to make his pseudonym seem extremely authentic, so naturally he would not admit such a thing.

"In that case, today I want to see whether it is you who dies or me who dies!"

Old man Mu Gu no longer had any worries at this moment, and he completely exploded. While he was making hand seals, he opened his mouth and spit out a deep blue flame that spurted out like a pillar of fire, shooting towards Xiao Yuan.

"You don't even have a strange fire, and you want to play with fire with me?"

Xiao Yuan smiled, and dark golden flames surged out of his body, turning into a raging fire wave that slammed down fiercely.

Looking at the terrifying dark golden fire wave, old man Mu Gu's face changed slightly. He quickly changed his hand seals, and the spewing fire column immediately condensed into a huge flaming beast more than ten feet in size, which rushed towards the fire wolf at lightning speed.

"laugh!"

The fire wave came down with an unstoppable momentum, and then hit the fire beast heavily. The terrifying force actually directly annihilated the fire beast, and then covered old man Mu Gu without slowing down!

"Five-wheeled fire formation, burning sky purgatory!"

Xiao Yuan's seal changed, and five fire beasts shot out amidst the surging waves of fire. They formed a formation at specific locations around them, sealing off that piece of heaven and earth!
The dark golden flame gradually became colorful, and a destructive force slowly emerged from it.

Old man Mu Gu was in the midst of it, as if he had fallen into a purgatory condensed by strange fire. Even though he was an alchemist and had a good resistance to fire, he still felt burning hot all over. The fire in his body did not completely turn against him under the suppression of the strange fire, which showed that he had refined the fire to a deep level, not to mention mobilizing the fire to protect his body.

Old man Mu Gu, who was in a life-and-death crisis, finally felt regretful.

Why on earth does he have the confidence to provoke such an evil star?

But now is obviously not the time to regret. If I stay in this purgatory any longer, I will really be refined into nothingness.

"Xiao Yuan, even if I die, I will take you with me!"

With a ruthless look in his eyes, old man Mu Gu let out an extremely shrill roar, and then the fighting spirit all over his body vibrated. His body quickly swelled like an inflated balloon, and he rushed towards Xiao Yuan at an extremely fast speed. It seemed that he wanted to die together with Xiao Yuan.

"hehe."

Xiao Yuan laughed lightly, then slapped old man Mu Gu from a distance.

In purgatory, five-colored flames condensed into a huge arm, pinned down old man Mu Gu, and slammed him into the ground.

boom!
The violent explosion blew Xiao Yuan's condensed Fire God Arm apart, but at this time, Xiao Yuan had already been watching the show outside the formation.

"A Dou Zun strongman died just like that?"

In the distance, Cao Ying covered her red lips and said in disbelief.

"It's hard to survive after offending the third brother."

Xiao Yan commented.

"No, Xiao Yan, be careful!"

Cao Ying suddenly sensed a soul wave rapidly approaching from the ground, and quickly issued a warning. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and was about to rush forward to block Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan pulled her away, his eyes sparkling with azure blue fire. He stomped his foot on the ground, and invisible flames gushed out from under his feet, spreading into a fire net that tightly wrapped the soul under the ground.

With a casual wave of his hand, the invisible Fallen Heart Flame wrapped around the soul of old man Mu Gu, whose face was filled with horror, and floated out from the ground.

"Fallen Heart Flame?"

Old man Mu Gu's soul was trembling as it was burned. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to get into Xiao Yan or Cao Ying's body to threaten Xiao Yuan, but he didn't expect that he would meet an expert in restraining souls!
"No, who gave you the confidence to think that my brother is a pushover?"

Xiao Yuan flashed and appeared beside Xiao Yan. He looked at the horrified old man Mu Gu and laughed at him murderously.

Cao Ying stood aside, watching the two brothers showing the same foxy smile, and suddenly felt stupid and redundant. (End of this chapter)
