The Battle Through Heaven
Yao Lao Falling Into Sleep Soundly
Gazing at the pale blue metal piece with a changed expression, anxiety flashed across the calm and indifferent face of this person, who was the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. His hands clenched without a sound and his heart spun repeatedly.
"Why is there a fraction of ‘Laut’ Core Vest around here? Don't tell me that the little boy is here now? Since ‘Laut’ Core Vest has been damaged, he should have also received very serious injuries. This guy, why does he always show up wherever there's a problem? " The gaze of the beautiful robed woman who was carrying some anxiety swept across the ground. However, he did not find the slightest trace of suspicious. His brows became slightly vertical with some anger hidden within.
"Contact Leader Yun Yun, what is this?" On one hand, the old man could not help but become stunned when he saw the beautiful robed woman actually showing such emotions. His voice was startled as he asked, This is the first time he has seen this person, who controls the Misty Cloud Sect, revealing so many unusual emotions at once.
"Haha, nothing." Surprised awakened by the voice of the old man, the beautiful face of the beautiful robed woman quickly buried her expression. A moment later, he recovered the indifference from before. He smiled, stored the shards of the ‘Laut’ Core Vest into his storage ring in front of the old man and softly voiced his opinion, "Jia Lao, he said, I think we should investigate the true identity of the four Dou Huangs. After all, it seemed like two Dou Huangs from other kingdoms were unlikely to enter the Jia Ma Empire just for a tour. "
Hearing this, the old man immediately looked at the beautiful robed woman somewhat strangely. His character did not look like someone who was interested in such things.
"What exactly was that metal fragment before?" Doubt flashed through the old man's heart. As the guardians of the imperial family, the investigation of these powerful people from outside the empire was part of his duty. He originally wanted to open his mouth and ask the Misty Cloud Sect to also help at the same time. He did not expect that he would actually open his mouth first. Therefore, the old man simply smiled and nodded his head. He helped move things around as he laughed, "Alright."
"Under us is Yan City. The headquarters of the Mo clan happened to be here. Let's go and gather some information first. " The pretty eyes of the beautiful robed lady turned to the city below and she smiled. Immediately, he chose to descend to the outside of Yan City. Behind him, the old man followed at a steady pace.
Three days later, in Rock Desert City, the headquarters of ‘Desert Metal Mercenary Company’.
The faint scent of sandalwood shrouded the quiet room, causing people's souls to feel somewhat at ease and intoxicated. On the bed in the corner of the room, lay a young man whose eyes were tightly closed. The interval between each weak breath was extremely long, resulting in the other person subconsciously feeling that his breath would suddenly stop, creating the most tragic ending.
As the young man lay unconscious on the bed, he could faintly feel someone pacing around him. A long time later, some of the*******softly sounded and slowly disappeared.
After several times the door slammed shut, the finger of the young man on the bed, who was like a dead man, suddenly shook gently. A while later, his weak breath finally became a little stronger. A moment later, her eyelashes shook gently. His eyelids squinted as they opened slightly.
A soft dim light seeped through his eyes. Xiao Yan's hand suddenly stiffened as he did his best to avert his gaze. After thoroughly assessing this somewhat familiar-looking room, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. His entire body was weak and exhausted as he lay on the soft bed without having the slightest strength to move.
Xiao Yan pulled and exhaled slightly. When his mind was completely awake as waves of memories quickly shot out from the region in his mind, causing Xiao Yan to recall the process of the entire matter.
"I think I'm hurt." Recalling the immense pain he felt as the destructive flame swept out, Xiao Yan bitterly laughed. He gently inhaled the air that carried a hint of the scent of sandalwood. When his head was a little clearer, he slowly closed his eyes and let his mind slowly descend into his body.
As his thoughts descended into his body, the dilapidated inner body condition that caused Xiao Yan to be stunned, immediately appeared in the eyes of his mind.
Observing the inner body, which was forcefully crushed by the terrifying energy, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly sank greatly. Although he could guess that his injury was serious, he did not expect that ‘the seriousness of’ had actually reached that far. If it was someone else who had his current miserable body condition, there was only one fate for him. It really became a cripple!
This is gonna be a big deal! Xiao Yan muttered bitterly in his heart. His mind followed the path of the shattered Qi and slowly flowed. Finally, he reached the vortex in his lower abdomen. Observing the inside of the vortex that only had a few drops of green-colored liquid energy remaining, he sighed in his heart. It just makes things worse.
In the middle of the vortex, a small light swayed slightly. In the light it hid Xiao Yan's biggest trump card, ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’. However, the current Xiao Yan did not dare to withdraw and spread a wisp of green flames. Right now, the Qi Paths in his body had already reached a critical point. He had no doubt that if anyone were to hit his body hard, he would truly be finished.
With a heavy feeling, Xiao Yan withdrew his thoughts from his body and slowly opened his eyes. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Yan stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before his heart suddenly shook slightly. From the moment he woke up until now, he felt that something was missing. Now, he finally remembered. There was actually no activity from Yao Lao.
Recalling this matter, Xiao Yan's expression immediately became extremely ugly. His heart hurriedly shouted, "Teacher? The teacher?"
The shout lingered for a few minutes but he did not receive the slightest response. It was as if his voice was a rock that was submerged in the vast ocean. Xiao Yan's heart began to sink further as the time it took Yao Lao to respond was extended.
Did something happen? The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. He suddenly felt his mouth completely dry. A feeling of panic quietly spread from within his heart. This type of panic was similar to the panic created when the genius of the time turned into a useless being overnight.
Ever since he and Yao Lao became acquainted with each other, Xiao Yan's heart would feel extremely steady and certain for as long as the first one existed. This was because regardless of what happened, Xiao Yan was clear that as long as Yao Lao existed, the latter would definitely not let him completely die. However at this moment, there was suddenly no news of Yao Lao. This caused Xiao Yan, who had always relied on him to truly feel a sense of panic, which he had difficulty hiding.
When his spiritual power had just touched the black-colored ring, an enormous suction force erupted from within it. At that moment, Xiao Yan did not have time to defend against him and it sucked him into the black-colored ring.
The feeling from his Spiritual Strength was originally very dark. Quickly following this, it appeared within the cover of a circle filled with white light. Inside the cover, Yao Lao's blurry figure was suspended in midair, smiling as he stared at this wisp of weak Xiao Yan Spiritual Strength.
"Little boy, you're finally awake." Yao Lao floated closer to Xiao Yan as he said with a smile.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Seeing Yao Lao's figure, the heavy burden on Xiao Yan's heart subsided. However, even though his heart had become slightly lighter, Xiao Yan was not stupid. In the past, when Yao Lao spoke to him, he was able to directly speak in his heart. Right now, on the other hand, he needed to insert a black-colored ring to speak. From this, he could tell that Yao Lao's situation would not be too good.
I'll tell you the good news and the bad news.
Yao Lao smiled. His palm patted the illusory human figure that Xiao Yan used his Spiritual Strength to create. With a happy smile, Yao Lao said, "The good news is that I admire you a lot. ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flame’ you created has a destructive power that even amazes me. In the future, if you can make it perfectly, I think you should not have a classmate like you who can defeat you. "
Xiao Yan's face had no joy. ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flame’ does have great power but the price of its use is just as frightening and difficult to accept.
The bad news, maybe you have found the inside of your body damaged until it is completely messy? Yao Lao smiled and asked.
"Yes, this is very serious." Xiao Yan nodded and sighed, "Basically, this will fall apart."
"Haha, the injury may be serious, but as long as you heal properly, it will gradually recover. I have improved the healing program. Later, I'll pass it on to you. As long as you do according to what I'm saying, you'll return to your peak state. " Said Yao Lao with a smile.
"What about you, Master?" The sensitive Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao's slightly misaligned tone and he hurriedly asked.
"I? This is probably the biggest bad news. Although you have managed to create an explosive party that could be called perfect, it has extracted nearly seventy percent of my Spiritual Strength. Adding this to the need to protect you in the last wave of fire, my Spiritual Strength is almost completely exhausted. " Yao Lao smiled bitterly and replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. The illusory human figure formed from the agglomeration of his Spiritual Strength suddenly fluctuated.
"Don't worry. Although my Spiritual Strength is completely exhausted, it does not mean that it is irreversible. I just need to fall asleep for a period of time like I did in the past. " Yao Lao gently looked at Xiao Yan who was biting his lips tightly and said with a smile, "During a period of time in the future, Master may no longer be able to protect you. You have to rely on yourself for everything. "
Observing the peaceful smiling Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became even redder. He held his fist tightly and said in a soft hoarse voice, "Sorry, Master."
Xiao Yan knew clearly in his heart that if he was not so determined to have his own way and combine ‘Heavenly Fire’, Yao Lao Spiritual Strength would definitely not be fully absorbed. He also did not need to fall asleep right now to recover his strength.
"Haha, you don't have to feel sorry. I will only fall asleep for a period of time and not completely disappear. I'm very satisfied with the ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flame’ you've created. My students are different from ordinary people! " Yao Lao patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and laughed.
"Alright, the remaining Spiritual Strength will soon be consumed. You should go. Regarding the matter of Qing Lin, you don't need to worry too much. That Lu Man would not treat him like the Mo clan. You can be sure. " Yao Lao's body suddenly became even more blurred as he waved at Xiao Yan and said.
"Teacher, careful!" Xiao Yan's knees slowly knelt down in the empty space. His eyes were red as his head faced Yao Lao and fell hard. TL; the act of kneeling down and bowing one's head to the ground is the highest form of respect one can give.
Yao Lao was delighted as he looked at Xiao Yan, who had experienced this turn of events and was completely freed from the youthful self-humidity he had experienced in the past. He smiled and nodded his head. His illusory body finally and gradually disappeared from the halo.
"Little Friend, I hope that when I finally wake up, I will be able to see a disciple who truly has become a strong person. I have saved some ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ in the ring. During a crisis, you can use it. Moreover, since I have known you until now, I am very satisfied with you. " The faint laughter containing some hope slowly sounded within the halo and did not disappear for a long time.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up. He stared at the empty circle of light and sighed sadly. From now on, he would have to face this entire word alone.
