The Battle Through Heaven
Exposing "This is?"
Nalan Yanran was startled as he looked at Xiao Yan below from his high position in the sky. The familiar action of spitting out the Purple Flame he had shown before as well as the green-colored flame in his hand caused the young man named Yan Xiao, who had left a very deep impression in his mind, to slowly surface.
The somewhat thin figure of the two of them gradually began to touch within his mind. Soon, they joined perfectly.
Other than that face, the expression or presence of the current Xiao Yan was no different from the young man who had defeated the young alchemist of the Chu Yun Empire with his own strength in the Imperial family square back then.
"Yan Xiao, Xiao Yan. Yan Xiao, Xiao Yan. " Smooth murmur came out of his mouth. At this moment, Nalan Yanran seemed to suddenly realize. He suddenly understood a few things. The mysterious young man who had used the Grand Meeting Alchemist to become the leader of the younger generation of the Jia Ma Empire, and the person who had even caused Nalan Yanran to involuntarily feel admiration despite his haughty character; it was actually the young man whom he looked at as trash three years ago!
The back of Nalan Yanran's teeth bit her red lower lip. The expression on her beautiful face repeatedly changed while her hands covered her mouth. His stiff body seemed to have been struck by lightning and was numb to the point that it was almost out of his control. This sudden discovery had caused Nalan Yanran's calm mind to instantly become a bunch of glue. His original indifferent face became somewhat pale at this moment.
This was the first person of the same age and the opposite sex who had caused admiration and unusual emotions to form in Nalan Yanran's heart during these years. Yet he was actually a young man whom he considered useless and stepped on his pride back then.
This kind of gap that looked like two different worlds caused Nalan Yanran to feel dizzy as if he was dreaming.
"He is Yan Xiao."
That sudden discovery also caused Jia Xing Tian, Fa Ma, Nalan Jie, and the others at the tree top to descend into dull conditions. Perhaps, the first two had faint feelings from the start of the fight, but they still felt somewhat absurd as the truth unfolded before their eyes.
"Yan Xiao, Xiao Yan. Ah, we really messed up in our old age. " Fa Ma shook his head and sighed. He stared at the skinny figure of the young man on the battlefield. With a bitter smile, he said, "This is really unexpected. Not only did this fellow possess an incredible talent for refining pills, even his training talent was terrifying as well. Most of the heroes come from the young. "
"He is a young man with extraordinary talent. This time, the Nalan clan and the Misty Cloud Sect had actually chosen the wrong side to suppress. They really suffered a huge loss. " Jia Xing Tian's expression was a bit strange. After seeing Xiao Yan's appearance at the Grand Meeting Alchemist, it was only natural that he clearly understood what great potential this youngster had. As long as someone gave him enough time, Jia Xing Tian believed that even with the strength of the Misty Cloud Sect, they should probably be afraid of him.
"This time, this Nalan clan has really poured their regrets all the way to their intestines (feeling great regret)." The faces of Mu Chen, Primer Tengshan along with the others in the large trees were also filled with shock. A moment later, their gazes all swept towards Nalan Jie who became completely dumbfounded. Their faces could not help but express pity.
"Hu." Nalan Jie exhaled a long breath before she immediately, violently, inhaled another. After repeating this a few times, Nalan Jie finally relaxed the cute dull expression on her face. His hand forcefully acted calm as he patted his sleeve. However, the leaves that trembled repeatedly near the top of the tree right under his feet, revealed the panic and loss he felt in his heart.
"Xiao Yan what is Yan Xiao?" Nalan Jie's gaze stared intently at the young man on the battlefield. In his mind, the back of the figure wearing an alchemist robe gradually covered Xiao Yan, finally fusing perfectly.
The corner of Nalan Jie's mouth involuntarily trembled slightly. His current facial expression had a brilliance that could not be explained with words. If the ability that Xiao Yan had displayed earlier had caused Nalan Jie to feel bitter, the other identities that had suddenly appeared actually caused Nalan Jie's heart to suddenly stiffen.
A youngster who not only possessed outstanding training talent, but also possessed a terrifying talent when refining pills, who could not stop being praised, was, was someone that any large faction would fight over. Anyone who possessed it would basically have a very powerful person in the future. His Nalan Clan, however, had actually pushed this young man, with an extremely frightening talent, out the main door.
During the period Xiao Yan adopted Yan Xiao's identity, Nalan Jie could be considered quite familiar with her during her contact with each other. That was why he could feel the impression of this youngster more clearly. Among the younger generation he had met over the years, the former was definitely the leader regardless of whether it was in terms of talent or mental strength. With Xiao Yan possessing these two things, Nalan Jie had no doubt that the level this youngster could reach in the future would surpass that of many strong people at the peak of the Jia Ma Empire.
The person who was supposed to be a thick shield for the Nalan clan as well as a strong person with boundless potential, had been expelled from the Nalan clan camp in the most painful manner by Nalan Yanran. This resulted in the current situation where they held weapons to each other. Two very different situations had caused waves of throbbing pain to spread from his heart.
"Ah." Nalan Jie let out a long sigh. Right now, he was unable to say anything more. With the hard feelings that Xiao Yan had for Nalan Yanran, did Nalan Jie really think that he could cause Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran to reconcile just because of his words? For this Three Years Agreement, Xiao Yan had undergone strenuous training for three years. Although Nalan Jie did not have any definite news about Xiao Yan during these three years, anyone could imagine that it was impossible to quickly rise to the current level of Xiao Yan, he said, within three years, without undergoing the lonely hell training that an ordinary person would experience.accept regardless of how extraordinary one's talent was!
Nalan Jie let out a violent cough and her originally slender face turned pale and dark without him noticing. Due to her complicated emotions, she currently seemed to suddenly become much older. His sickly demeanor caused everyone around him to understand that the blow this time was truly too great for the person leading this Nalan clan. After all, who could remain calm when they saw the useless son-in-law that their clan had originally left behind suddenly turn into someone who had enough identity to shock everyone? This was especially the case when this son-in-law would initially become the thickest shield of the Nalan clan and help them block the blows from the wild storm. Unfortunately, these shields were already sharp spears aimed at them. The tip of the spear even reflected the density that caused Nalan Jie to feel a chill within his bones.
"Yan Xiao's. This Xiao Yan is actually Yan Xiao? " On the other hand, Liu Ling's face was also filled with shock and she screamed involuntarily as she stared at Xiao Yan on the battlefield.
"Yes." Yeah." Liu Ling nodded his head and said with a bitter smile, "It is really unexpected that he is actually Xiao Yan. We have all been deceived by him. " As he said these words, Liu Ling finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Since Yan Xiao was Xiao Yan, it was likely that he would have no feelings towards Nalan Yanran. Since this was the case, the person he originally considered to be his strongest competitor suddenly disappeared. No doubt this was a happy thing for Liu Ling.
"According to what I know, Xiao Yan three years ago did not know how to improve the treatment (alchemical skills). From then until now, only three years have passed. Yet he was actually able to refine a Three Row‘ Green Spirit Pill, a tier four medicinal pill of such quality. If this was true, wasn't his talent in refining medicine a little too frightening. " Gu He said in a deep voice.
"Although it is somewhat embarrassing to say this, he is the only person among the younger generation that I admire. His talent in refining pills was extremely frightening. " Liu Ling said seriously.
"You're going to admit defeat? It seems like your failure at the Grand Meeting this time is somewhat in your favor. At least, you are no longer as arrogant as you once were. " Said Gu He as he glanced at Liu Ling, feeling a little surprised. With his knowledge of this disciple of his, he naturally clearly knew the arrogance in the latter's bones. It was truly unexpected that Liu Ling would respect this Xiao Yan who was clearly a little younger than him.
Hearing this, Liu Ling laughed awkwardly. He did not dare to continue the conversation knowing that his past arrogance had left Gu He with a headache along with a feeling of helplessness.
"The green-colored flame in his hand should be a kind of ‘Heavenly Fire’ while the purple-colored flame seemed to be a type of ‘The Beast’ Fire, which he might obtain from some sort of high-level Magical Beast body." Ge He was undoubtedly an alchemist grandmaster. With one glance, he managed to identify the background of ‘Fire Green’ Lotus Core and Purple Flame.
"To be able to control two types of fire with such familiarity .. Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was not weak. It is not surprising even if you lose to him. Being able to control two flames at the same time was something that even some tier four alchemists had difficulty doing. " Fools only see excitement while experts observe essence and skill. Just with a mere rough look, Gu He could see some unique points from Xiao Yan.
Liu Ling hurriedly nodded his head beside Gu He.
"But why did this green flame give me such a familiar feeling?" Gu He suddenly knitted his brows and said in an uncertain soft voice.
"Heavenly Fire ‘in green." Gu He slowly muttered from his mouth. His expression suddenly flickered between being bright and dark as it changed. Suddenly, he recalled how he had spent a lot of effort in the Tager Desert back then and had even broken through to the desert inland area, in conflict with Queen Medusa. In the end, all that seems to be for some sort of green colored ‘Heavenly Fire, right?
After returning from the desert, Gu He also clearly thought of some things. On their way to the Tager Desert this time, they seemed to have been tricked by others. The group's efforts eventually benefited the mysterious person.
His eyes slowly narrowed. Ge He stared intently at Xiao Yan's face. For some unknown reason, he continued to feel that this face seemed to belong to someone he met. He kept frowning. In one instance, his eyes suddenly became stiff. He finally remembered!
The person they accidentally saved from the hand of the female snake head in the desert back then was Xiao Yan!
This thought began to move like lightning in Gu He's mind. All the doubts he had back then seemed to have occurred at this moment and everything made sense now. No wonder the traces of his group were so clearly captured. No wonder if there was someone who took the lead, secretly sneaking into the city as they were being held back by Queen Medusa and getting ‘ Heavenly Fire’.
One by one, all the mysteries began to intertwine with each other. Finally, the young man's gentle and handsome face suddenly appeared.
"Hu."
Gu He sighed deeply. He suddenly realized. Back then, the person who had been a beneficiary as long as they were entangled with Queen Medusa definitely had a relationship with Xiao Yan that could not be denied, even if it was not Xiao Yan himself.
"What a person ‘baik’. He's really playing us all. " Gu He stuffed his hand into his sleeve. With narrowed eyes, he looked at Xiao Yan on the battlefield. His heart suddenly felt that it did not know whether to laugh or cry. The line-up of his back group could basically dominate the entire Jia Ma Empire. However, they ended up falling for the plans of a young man who had not even turned twenty yet.
"Although I don't know how exactly you did it, but now, you must resolve this predicament first in front of you. ‘Tip Wind’ Nalan Yanran is not something that can be easily ignored. "
