145. Fierce Battle of Dou Zong
"Mr. Hai, how is it?" Xiao Yan stood in mid-air with a smile.
A blood-red fire lotus slowly rotated in Xiao Yan's right palm, and the high temperature released from the fire lotus caused the surrounding space to begin to distort.
The surging battle qi and drifting white steam around Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong indicated that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who stood in mid-air with his wings spread, Hai Bodong felt a sense of despair. In the time it took, he had been launching attacks on Xiao Yan relentlessly. At first, he had held back some strength, but later he had used every move he could muster except for his desperate measures. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, just watched him with a smile and casually blocked all his fighting techniques.
It's now confirmed that the flame in Xiao Yan's hand is definitely a type of strange fire. His ice attribute was completely ineffective against its absolute high temperature, and was instead suppressed at every turn. Although the eerie, pale white flame from before didn't reappear, the flame in Xiao Yan's hand now feels even more powerful.
Moreover, Hai Bodong understood that Xiao Yan was not using his full strength and was mostly just passively defending.
"The younger generation is truly formidable. I concede defeat..." Hai Bodong said helplessly. After not seeing Xiao Yan for three years, he had reached a level he could no longer match.
His terrifying strength had completely stabilized, his female companion was even more dangerous, and he possessed a terrifying crimson flame.
All of this left Hai Bodong feeling helpless. Why was God so unfair? Why was this kid in front of him able to keep him firmly under his control at such a young age?
Seeing Hai Bodong admit defeat, Xiao Yan didn't feel anything. Hai Bodong's current strength was still quite far behind his own. Although Hai Bodong had almost given his all, he hadn't put any pressure on him at all, so there was really no need for the match to continue.
"Now that Mr. Hai has settled this matter, we should take our leave."
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong smiled bitterly. He had always thought that he had done Xiao Yan a favor, but he hadn't expected that Xiao Yan didn't appreciate it at all.
He then nodded dejectedly, "Then I should go too. Until we meet again!"
He waved goodbye as if to say farewell, and then Hai Bodong flapped his wings and left.
Seeing Hai Bodong leave, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally collected all the remaining fragments of the map from Hai Bodong. Of course, he had already left all the fragments with Yao Lao when they parted ways, so he wasn't worried that Yan Di would find out about it.
At the time, Xiao Yan thought that it wouldn't make much difference to have a few pieces on him before he finished collecting the fragments. Moreover, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking. Before he advanced to Dou Zun, his first thought when he encountered the Pure Lotus Demon Flame should be how to escape. There was no rush to get it.
"Where do we go next, Xiao Yan?" Zi Yan asked.
Xiao Yan shrugged and said, "We're still marked, so of course we have to go back!"
Xiao Yan insisted on buying Yan Di time to stay, in order to inform the people of the Jia Ma Empire about the dangers of the poisonous fog and to come to Hai Bodong to retrieve the incomplete map.
Now that he had the incomplete map, Xiao Yan decided to try and persuade the powerful figures of the Jia Ma Empire. After all, he couldn't possibly handle the massive swarm of poisonous fog on his own. Whether they believed him or not, or whether they actually participated, was no longer Xiao Yan's concern. The Xiao family had already left the Jia Ma Empire, and Xiao Yan never considered himself a savior. He was willing to help others if he could, but he had no interest in going out of his way to save complete strangers.
……
Montenegro Fortress.
Although Black Mountain Fortress is located on the border between the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire, and conflicts occasionally occur, it is mostly peaceful.
Such a formidable pass could not be taken without sufficient strength, especially since the Black Mountain Fortress was garrisoned by the most elite troops of the Gama Empire. The fortress normally housed nearly one-tenth of the Gama Empire's military force.
Therefore, even though the Izumo Empire was eyeing the Gama Empire covetously, and its strength was superior to that of the Gama Empire, it never really put in the effort to attack the Black Mountain Fortress.
But the situation is different now, with a series of explosions echoing across Black Mountain Fortress.
Even the most elite troops stationed in the Black Mountain Fortress had worried expressions on their faces, and almost everyone looked at the scorching battlefield in the sky with fear in their eyes.
Two figures, one in color and one in gray, fought fiercely in the sky above Black Mountain Fortress, each with their feet treading on the void. It was a fierce battle between two Dou Zong powerhouses!
On the edge of the fierce battle between the two, dozens of powerful figures stood facing off on both sides.
On one side were many powerful figures from the Jia Ma Empire, led by Yun Shan and Jia Xingtian. Many of the Jia Ma Empire's powerful figures who had gathered earlier were also present here. The group of more than twenty people were all well-known and powerful figures from the Jia Ma Empire.
However, these powerful figures who usually dominated the Gama Empire all had solemn expressions on their faces, and everyone stared intently at the center of the battle, their eyes filled with worry.
Yun Shan, who was standing at the head of everyone, was now dressed in tattered clothes and had many wounds on his body. His aura was also constantly fluctuating. At this moment, Yun Shan did not have the composure that a Dou Zong powerhouse should have.
Opposite them was a team of nearly fifty powerful individuals, each of whom was a genuine Dou Wang or Dou Huang with wings on their backs!
The five people at the very front were even walking on air; they were all Dou Zong level experts!
Although these people were also paying attention to the center of the battle, they all looked quite relaxed. Some of them were even exchanging words with undisguised mockery.
What was particularly eye-catching was that in the center of their procession was a sedan chair carried by four powerful Dou Wang (Battle King) experts, which was extremely conspicuous.
Meanwhile, the highly anticipated battle was nearing its end. The burly man in gray wielded an exaggeratedly large spiked club, and the terrifying vibrations from his every move caused a constant buzzing sound.
The colorful figure was tall and slender, with a face that could drive countless men crazy, but the frost on her face indicated her aloof personality.
"Medusa, surrender now and become my concubine, and I'll guarantee the safety of your snake-people clan, how about it?" The burly man in gray, who had the upper hand in the battle, spoke with ease.
Queen Medusa's face, which was flawless and blessed by the heavens, showed impatience. She was at a disadvantage and constantly moving and fighting, but then a burst of seven-colored light erupted from her body.
"I'll kill you right now!" Queen Medusa's cold voice rang out.
