The Battle Through Heaven
Breaking Seals
Observing Hai Bo Dong who was tightly holding a jade bottle with a face filled with unrestrained excitement, Xiao Yan laughed softly before smiling slightly as he said, "Master Hai Bo Dong. Something has been perfected. What about map fragments? "
Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong was confused for a moment. He immediately and quickly pulled himself back from his uncontrollable excitement. His eyeballs spun around and he licked his lips as an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He said, "Uhh, Little Brother!"
"You can call me Xiao Yan." Seeing Hai Bo Dong's demeanor, Xiao Yan frowned slightly as he said softly.
"Haha, okay. Xiao Yan's sister. " Hi Bo Dong hurriedly nodded his head. He then waved the jade bottle in his hand and said with an awkward smile, "Sister, don't blame the old me for there's something else to do! Uhuk , it's not too old I don't trust you, but the main reason is that I've also never seen what ‘Pil Troubleshooter’ looks like. I only knew from the medicinal herbs that the color was all purple. Therefore, I wonder if Brother Xiao Yan will allow me to take the medicinal pill and test if it can really help me unseal? Haha, if the seal is truly unbreakable, the old me will definitely give the map shards to you! I'll apologize to you too! "
"Old Master, the way to repeatedly find an excuse to delay matters does not show the attitude of someone who was once the Ten Strong Jia Ma Empire." Xiao Yan's long finger gently flicked a speck of dust from the end of his sleeve. He was expressionless as he said, "Little me has used all my efforts to help Old Master! But your actions really do make me desperate. "
"Ugh, Brother Xiao Yan, back then we completely agreed that as long as you can help me refine the ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’, I will hand over the map fragment to you, as long as you can help me refine the Breaking Adversity Pill, but you should at least let me test whether these medicinal pills are real or not. I'll say something disturbing. If this was another medicinal pill that you randomly gave me as a restraint, wouldn't I suffer a huge loss if I didn't check it out? " Hai Bo Dong's old face was much thicker than Xiao Yan had imagined. The way he smiled bitterly made it seem like he was the biggest victim.
Seeing Hai Bo Dong's bitter face, Xiao Yan furrowed his brows tightly and said softly, "Sir Od. I've got to remind you something. This ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ medicinal formula is something you gave me. I have also fully followed his instructions for refining medicinal pills. But whether this medicinal pill had the effect of unsealing was something only ghosts knew about! "
"Therefore, if you take the ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ and still cannot unseal because of the medicinal formula, won't it be blamed on me? Then is it not my attempt to rush a long distance into the desert, challenging the danger of being killed by Queen Medusa to help you search for the Datura Sand, as well as spending a lot of effort to refine a medicinal pill completely ignored? " Xiao Yan crossed his ten fingers in front of him as he said softly with a cold smile, "After doing so much, all I have obtained are pieces of the map and help, after doing so much, it was approved orally by Dou Huang. You tell me, have I lost or have I made a profit? "
"Uhh!" Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong's face looked slightly embarrassed. A moment later, he finally laughed flatly, "I who used to also know that my request was a bit excessive, though, but Brother Xiao Yan can be assured that I will naturally not do anything ungrateful! How about this. As long as ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ can show little effect, I will definitely keep my promise! Moreover, this ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ was a medicinal pill that was personally refined by Little Brother Xiao Yan. Don't tell me you're not confident? Ha ha."
"Yes!" Xiao Yan let out a long sigh. He raised his eyes to look at Hai Bo Dong who was laughing dryly and tightly clenched his brows. A while later, he finally waved his hand rather unhappily and said weakly, "Then we will do as you say. I will remind Old Man once again. This is the last time I give up. "
"Haha, thank you Little Brother Xiao Yan for being able to understand my former difficulties." Hearing Xiao Yan's reply, a cheerful smile immediately appeared on Hai Bo Dong's face. He placed the jade bottle carefully into the storage ring, faced Xiao Yan and said, "Sister, follow me to the basement. If I really unseal it later, this basement will ensure that my Qi will not leak. At the same time, this can avoid some unnecessary problems. "
Xiao Yan nodded his head but was too lazy to say anything extra to Hai Bo Dong. His face was ice-cold as he raised his chin to Hai Bo Dong, signaling the latter leading the way.
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Hai Bo Dong also knew that Xiao Yan was in a bad mood. He could only laugh awkwardly and hurriedly focus on leading in front.
As he followed behind Hai Bo Dong, Xiao Yan stared at the old figure in front of him whose steps were swift. He was silent for a long time before an indifferent and faint smile suddenly lifted on his expressionless face. The fist under his sleeve was clenched tightly and a wisp of green-colored flame leaped onto his long finger!
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes as he muttered in his heart, "Old man, I hope you really don't disappoint me. Otherwise, I won't care if you've ever been called the Ice Emperor. Today, I will force you to suffer terrible regrets! "
Although the corridor was not very large, the number of twists and turns would exceed anyone's expectations. Xiao Yan followed behind Hai Bo Dong and made a number of turns. The monotonous and similar surroundings caused people's minds to feel somewhat tired. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's mental strength was quite good, so it was not up to the level of difficulty to endure. It was just that his heart felt a little depressed.
Inside the corridor, the lights were not very strong. There would only be lights that emitted a dim light every ten meters over. In this kind of dark environment, the two people remained silent. Only the soft sound of footsteps slowly echoed in the long corridor and echoed for a long time. Hearing this voice, anyone would shiver.
The corridor might appear flat, but Xiao Yan could sense that they seemed to be walking on a sloping route. After walking in this miserable manner for nearly twenty minutes, Hai Bo Dong, who was in front of him, suddenly stopped. He turned around and said with a smile to Xiao Yan, "We're here."
Xiao Yan's gaze leaped past Hai Bo Dong and swept across the place in front of him. He could only see a thick metal door emerging from the edge of his vision under the dim light from the lamp. The iron door was extremely deep and pitch-black, emitting a sturdy and thick feeling.
As he stared at the iron door, Hai Bo Dong's footsteps clearly became faster. A moment later, he arrived at the door. His palm pulled the head of the black metal lion in front of him. Following the sound of ‘Ka Cha’, the iron door instantly opened by itself. Bright light was also emitted from within.
"Welcome!" Hai Bo Dong waved tiredly at Xiao Yan as he entered first with a smile still on his face.
Xiao Yan stood before the door and hesitated for a moment. His gaze swept around the large door before stepping into the basement.
Entering the room in the basement, Xiao Yan found the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped drastically. A faint cold feeling enveloped his entire body as he looked at his surroundings. He was a bit surprised when he realized that this underground room was an ice warehouse. On the ceiling of the ice warehouse and the thick walls around it, there was a layer of snow-white ice attached to it. Above his head, many sharp icicles appeared like sharp long swords hanging upside down from the ceiling.
A faint cold mist was emitted, shrouding the interior of the basement and possibly persisting for many years. It was unknown how much time and effort Hai Bo Dong spent for this rather large underground room.
"Haha, the Dou Qi Method I trained is more in tune with dark and cold. Thus, training in this kind of place would have a better effect. This place is also far from the surface. The ice and ground above will be able to cover my Qi here, causing the other strong people to be unable to sense it. " It was obvious from the doubt in Xiao Yan's mind, Hai Bo Dong, who was at the front, explained.
"Ah." Xiao Yan nodded and unceremoniously sat down on the chair in the middle of the basement. He raised his head to face Hai Bo Dong and calmly said, "Quickly. I don't really like the environment here. "
Hai Bo Dong smiled and nodded. He then took out the ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ from within the storage ring and placed it carefully in his palm to look at it. The cautious attitude once again caused Xiao Yan's brows to press against each other.
After inspecting it for a long time and failing to find anything unusual, Hai Bo Dong finally let out a soft sigh. Right now he had also learned to become smarter; he knew that his actions just now would definitely cause Xiao Yan to be extremely dissatisfied. Therefore, he did not tilt his head at all to look at Xiao Yan's ugly expression. His fingers slightly pressed onto the ground and his body leaped onto the seat that was completely formed from the ice-cold clump. He sat cross-legged and stuffed the ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ from his hand into his mouth. His throat slightly rolled and swallowed the pill into his stomach.
Sitting on a chair, Xiao Yan lowered his head and took his finger. As Hai Bo Dong swallowed the ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’, a faint arrogant smile suddenly lifted on his lowered face.
In the icy cold basement, the atmosphere gradually calmed down after Hai Bo Dong entered his training mode. Xiao Yan simply sat on a chair while staring at his palm. It seemed that he was not worried at all, whether Hai Bo Dong's seal was successful or not.
The calm atmosphere lasted for nearly half an hour or so before it was broken down by a vicious circle of energy ripples.
On the ice platform, Hai Bo Dong, who descended into silence, suddenly started shaking violently. Waves of ferocious energy ripples were quickly emitted from within his body. Wherever the energy wave passed by, the surrounding table or ice pillar would explode and break into pieces with the sound of ‘Pa La’.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his head and observed the energy ripples that came swiftly. Moving as his heart desired, a faint green-colored fire Dou Qi robe quickly appeared on the surface of his body. The green-colored hot flame burned all the energy ripples that spread towards him into nothingness.
On the ice platform, Hai Bo Dong did not seem to feel the destruction he had created. His body trembled for a moment as the old face suddenly stiffened. A calm green-colored strange energy quickly gathered on his forehead. A moment later, it actually formed a quiet green little energy snake mold! The snake imprint lingered on Hai Bo Dong's forehead and stubbornly suppressed the Dou Qi waves on his body.
As the snake mold appeared, a pale purple energy slowly enveloped upwards from Hai Bo Dong's neck. In the blink of an eye, he began to come into contact with the quiet green-colored little snake.
The moment the two ferocious energies came into contact, the appearance of a ripple energy wave like the one before it also happened.
The purple colored energy and the snake mold were at a continuous dead end on Hai Bo Dong's forehead with one on top and one on the bottom. The faint glow emitted by the two types of energy caused Hai Bo Dong's face to be painted strangely. Adding this to Hai Bo Dong's distorted face was caused by the intense pain created from the two types of energy struggling in such an important place like his head, it gave him a faint savage gaze when someone glanced at him.
The ten fingers of Xiao Yan crossed in front of his body as he raised his head. He stared intently at the two-colored light emitted from Hai Bo Dong's face. His heart was also a little curious, whether this ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ would have the energy to unseal Queen Medusa.
The purple and green colored energy continued to move up and down in a stalemate in this manner. However, as the stalemate lasted for over half an hour, the traces of the calm green snake finally dimmed slightly. Obviously, this ‘Breaking Adversity Pill’ seems to really have a unique effect of holding this kind of seal.
"Ck ck, this ‘Troubleshooter’ Pill is really not bad! If I have a chance in the future, I will prepare some for myself. If one day I will be sealed by someone, it would be nice if I prepared something. " Watching that green-colored light becoming increasingly dim under the purple light, Xiao Yan's eyes brightened as he laughed softly.
"Be careful. That guy's gonna unseal it. " The reminder of Yao Lao suddenly sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Yan nodded his head and the Dou Qi in his body started flowing slowly, preparing for the sudden incident.
The purple-colored energy borrowed a restraining effect to slowly dispel the region occupied by the snake mold. Then it gradually took out the latter from Hai Bo Dong's forehead before the purple-colored energy suddenly surged and the ferocious power completely removed the snake imprint from Hai Bo Dong's head.
Right after the snake mold left Hai Bo Dong's head, it shook violently and immediately turned into green smoke that rolled upwards and disappeared.
As the snake mold left his body, Hai Bo Dong's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. An almost solid light shot out from his eyes. A monstrous force, like a waking lion, surged out from the inside of the body where it had been severely depressed for decades.
Under this powerful force, the layer of ice crystals within the underground chamber actually began to crack.
"Ha ha, that damn seal has finally gone to hell! I once again become a Dou Huang! " With his foot stepping off the ice platform, Hai Bo Dong's body was quickly restrained in the air. His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement as he raised his head to laugh wildly.
The intense sound waves were carried by Dou Qi, shaking the cracked ice layer around it until it broke.
After laughing wildly for a long time, Hai Bo Dong, who was restrained in the air suddenly turned his gaze which carried a subtle light towards Xiao Yan, sitting on the chair below without moving. His muddy old eyes narrowed!
Seemingly having sensed the aggressive gaze that was shot out from the air, Xiao Yan slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised his head. His face was as calm as an extremely deep well of water as he vaguely looked at the Dou Huang in the air who had recovered his strength.
In the air, two gazes crossed each other, vaguely projecting a chill.
