"Now I'll show you the difference between a Battle King and a Battle Emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hao's blood sword, which was slashing down, seemed to have hit an invisible barrier. It stopped three fists above the Fourth Elder's head and could not fall any further.

"boom!"

Having blocked Wu Hao's attack, the Fourth Elder's expression remained unchanged. With his right hand, he struck upwards at lightning speed, directly hitting Wu Hao's chest.

Wu Hao was attacked by the Fourth Elder, and his aura instantly collapsed. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, landing among the Canaan Academy students.

Elder Wu Hao!

When the students saw that Wu Hao couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Fourth Elder and was defeated instantly, a look of despair appeared on their faces. Wu Hao was knocked back by a single blow, but he was not discouraged. He clasped his hands together, and the blood energy in his whole body became even more intense. His originally weakened aura was restored.

"Ok?"

Fourth Elder Xie Zhen sensed Wu Hao's aura, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and he formed claws with both hands, rushing towards Wu Hao like a ghost.

"Everyone spread out."

Wu Hao noticed the Fourth Elder's attack, ordered the surrounding students to scatter, raised his blood sword, and once again faced the Fourth Elder.

The Fourth Elder's hands, like eagle claws, blocked Wu Hao's attacks with the blood sword one by one. With the final claw, the blood sword flew out of Wu Hao's hand and into the air. Then, the Fourth Elder's eagle claws struck Wu Hao's chest, and he was instantly sent flying backward, falling to the ground, unable to move.

"You're quite good. If you had a little more time, you might actually catch up with me. Unfortunately, I won't give you that kind of time." The Fourth Elder took Wu Hao's blood sword, examined it, and then twirled it in his hand with a few beautiful sword flourishes, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Wu Hao.

"It's ironic that someone like you dies by his own weapon."

As soon as the Fourth Elder finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face. With a flick of his wrist, the blood sword in his hand went straight for Wu Hao's head.

Chapter 17 Take action

"If he lives, you die; if he dies, you'll be torn to pieces!"

When the students of Canaan Academy saw the Fourth Elder's attack, their faces showed despair. However, they could only watch helplessly as the Fourth Elder attacked, and there was nothing they could do.

Just as the blood sword was about to strike Wu Hao's head, a black shadow flew out from a distance, knocking the blood sword away. Then everyone looked and saw a heavy, pitch-black Xuan Heavy Ruler smashed into the ground. At the same time, an arrogant voice rang out from afar.

"Ok?"

The sudden attack caused the Fourth Elder's expression to change. He immediately looked up in the direction from which the sound came, a look of annoyance on his face.

"Hmph, I'd like to see who dares to be so arrogant."

Among the crowd at Canaan Academy, everyone looked at the Xuanzhong Ruler on the ground and felt a sense of familiarity.

However, among the crowd were many disciples or mentors who had been in the same batch as Xiao Fan and his group. Upon seeing the Xuan Heavy Ruler on the ground, which resembled a symbol, one of them couldn't help but say, "How come this Xuan Heavy Ruler looks so similar to the thing on the Panmen emblem?"

The spear and the foot on the Panmen emblem are naturally the symbol of the entire Panmen. Once someone reminded them, the others instantly realized it, and their eyes gradually became excited.

However, the Fourth Elder on the other side was unaware of all this. The other party had just blocked his attack and uttered such arrogant words. If he did not take action to deal with them, how could he stay in Demon Flame Valley?

"Who is it? Get out of here!"

The Fourth Elder looked down at the outside of the valley with disdain, unleashing the aura of a four-star Dou Huang without restraint. He also wanted to know who dared to risk their life to stop him.

As everyone watched, five figures gradually walked in from outside the valley. The two leading figures were Maddie and Mo Ling.

"Mentor McGrady? Mo Ling? Didn't they go to get reinforcements?"

Upon seeing the two leaders, one of the students spoke up in confusion. Then, noticing Xiao Fan and the others behind Maddie, their gazes swept over Xiao Fan and the others before settling on Xiao Fan's face.

The statue's identical appearance to the one in front of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower rekindled their despair.

Wu Hao was helped to his feet by two students. When he saw the familiar faces in the valley, a rare smile appeared on his face. He looked at Xiao Fan and the others with a touch of reminiscence.

The Fourth Elder didn't take Xiao Fan and the others seriously; they were just a few young girls, not worth his attention. Remembering his humiliation earlier, the Fourth Elder's face darkened. He looked at Xiao Fan and the others and said, "You..."

"Shhh."

Xiao Fan put a finger to his lips, interrupting the Fourth Elder, and then said, "Don't speak, I don't want to hear dogs barking."

"Pfft!"

Xiao Fan's words amused the students of Canaan Academy, who burst into laughter, while the people from Demon Flame Valley had gloomy expressions.

"Boy, how dare you insult the Fourth Elder! You're asking for death!"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, one of the peak Dou Wang fighters rolled his eyes, feigned anger, and then reached out to grab Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan completely ignored his attack. When the man approached Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan merely glanced at him indifferently, and his vast soul power directly pressed him down to the ground.

Immediately, his entire soul was shattered by Xiao Fan, and his body became an empty shell.

The power that Xiao Fan casually displayed not only surprised the students of Canaan Academy, but also caused a sense of panic in the heart of the Fourth Elder.

With just a glance, he killed a peak Dou Wang expert. If this Dou Wang hadn't been his own subordinate, the Fourth Elder would have thought it was an act. But seeing such an absurd scene unfold before his eyes, a trace of fear rose on the Fourth Elder's face.

"Your Mightiness......"

Just as the Fourth Elder was about to speak, Xiao Fan turned his head to look at Zi Yan and Xiao Yan beside him and said, "The rest of you are the ones to handle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, pitch-black flames roared out from Xiao Fan's body. Within a few breaths, apart from the Fourth Elder and the only remaining peak Dou Wang expert, everyone else completely disappeared into the valley.

"Gudong~"

So many living people disappeared right before everyone's eyes. Everyone was deeply shocked by Xiao Fan's methods. Even Wu Hao's eyes were full of disappointment. He was still at the peak of Dou Wang, but the opponent's strength... was getting further and further away.

While the Fourth Elder and another peak Dou Wang were still in shock, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan had already charged towards them.

Xiao Yan faced off against the Fourth Elder, and Zi Yan dealt with the peak Dou Wang. Both of them were far stronger than their opponents, and it would be a piece of cake for them to deal with them. After Xiao Fan finished speaking, he did not watch the subsequent battles. He took Maddie and Mo Ling and walked towards the Canaan Academy group.

As the students watched Xiao Fan approach, recalling how he had incinerated dozens of Demon Flame Valley experts with a single wave of his hand, their panic gradually gave way to fervor.

"What's wrong? You all used to admire Xiao Fan so much, why are you all speechless now that you've seen him in person?"

Wu Hao looked at Xiao Fan with a smile on his face and spoke to the students around him.

Upon hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone seemed to snap out of their daze and began chattering as they surrounded Xiao Fan.

"Senior Xiao Fan, you're so handsome! Much more handsome than the statue in front of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower!"

"Senior Xiao Fan, I'm also from Panmen. You're incredibly strong..."

"Senior Xiao Fan, what do you think of me? I... someone covered my mouth... mmm..."

Feeling the enthusiasm of the crowd, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile. However, the battle between Xiao Yan and the others quickly drew everyone's attention.

After all, at their current stage, they rarely see clashes between Dou Huang level fighters, especially since the one who was utterly defeated was their former mortal enemy, and they all showed a relieved expression on their faces.

Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Fan checked Wu Hao's injuries, then took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring and handed it to Wu Hao.

Wu Hao took the pill from Xiao Fan's hand, and without even looking at it, took one and swallowed it. His injuries immediately felt much better.

"Tsk tsk, you two are truly prodigies!"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was suppressing the Fourth Elder in the sky, Wu Hao's face showed a look of longing, which then turned into motivation for cultivation, but he still couldn't help but speak up.

"Hehe, isn't it quite interesting for you to stay in the academy and train batches of new students?"

Xiao Fan glanced at Wu Hao, then at the new students behind him, a smile appearing on his face. He asked Wu Hao, "Are there any new geniuses emerging among the new students?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Wu Hao rolled his eyes at him and then said, "Do you think everyone is as abnormal as you guys? Although there are a few promising talents now, they still need more training."

The two chatted idly, with Wu Hao recounting the changes in the inner courtyard, while Xiao Fan listened and nodded, occasionally sharing some of his and Xiao Yan's experiences with Wu Hao.

Meanwhile, the disciples watched with sparkling eyes as Xiao Yan and Zi Yan fought in the sky.

Chapter 18 Entering the City

Above the valley, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan dealt with the people of Demon Flame Valley with ease. Amidst the admiring gazes of the Canaan Academy students, they effortlessly defeated the Fourth Elder and the Dou Wang expert, who were then completely reduced to ashes in Xiao Yan's flames.

After dealing with the people from Demon Flame Valley, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan landed together. The students from Canaan Academy excitedly gathered around them, their eyes still filled with respect and admiration.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan took out some healing pills from their storage rings and gave them to the injured students. Their injuries quickly stabilized.

"How dare these people from Demon Flame Valley provoke Canaan Academy? Aren't they afraid of being purged by the academy?"

After passing the pills in his hand to the other students, Xiao Yan, like Xiao Fan, approached Wu Hao and asked him curiously. Xiao Yan himself didn't know much about the Demon Flame Valley, but after the last great battle, could there be any force in the Black Corner Region that dared to oppose Canaan Academy?

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Wu Hao shook his head helplessly before speaking, "This time it's still because of the previous great battle. After the battle ended, the Rakshasa Sect and the Mad Lion Gang formed an alliance with the Inner Academy. Although the Academy did not interfere in matters within the Black Corner Region, many people have opinions about the Rakshasa Sect and the Mad Lion Gang."

"As the Rakshasa Sect and the Mad Lion Gang grew stronger, conflicts of interest arose, and naturally, the Demon Flame Valley began to intervene. Later, as the conflict escalated, the Demon Flame Valley directly targeted the students undergoing inner court training. This is why the academy arranged for instructors to accompany them. However, we didn't expect that word would leak out this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the people here would have..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and then said, "Elder Su Qian is already at the Dou Zong level. Moreover, there are guardians in the academy. Could it be that there are also Dou Zong experts in Demon Flame Valley?"

Xiao Fan listened to their conversation without saying a word. Although he was aware of the strength of Demon Flame Valley, it was still an unavoidable enemy for Xiao Yan.

It's important to know that in the original story, when Han Feng was only a soul body escaping, he reconstructed his physical body in the Demon Flame Valley. Moreover, Xiao Yan also obtained his two greatest cheat codes in the Demon Flame Valley: the Flame Manipulation Technique, which allows him to fuse pseudo-different flames, and the Heavenly Demon Puppet, which helped Xiao Yan escape death multiple times along the way.

(I'm writing this to clarify something because I noticed some readers weren't clear on the matter. Demon Flame Valley is a sect that exists in the original story and is quite important.)

Later, Xiao Yan used the corpse of the Northern King of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, whose strength reached the terrifying level of a five-star Dou Sheng. Of course, Xiao Yan and his companions were unaware of all this.

"Demon Flame Valley is no ordinary place."

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Wu Hao shook his head and continued, "The Valley Master of Demon Flame Valley is a genuine Dou Zong expert, but he has been in seclusion for a long time, and there is very little news about him. As for the guardians of the academy, they will not take action unless the academy is facing a life-or-death situation. Just like in the last great battle, when Han Feng gathered a group of experts to invade the inner academy, they did not take action."

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing Wu Hao's words, becoming increasingly wary of Demon Flame Valley. The three then talked for a long time.

Once Wu Hao and the others had recovered from their injuries, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan escorted them to a nearby city. Once inside the city, they were able to contact the academy, which would then send powerful experts to meet them.

After escorting Wu Hao and the others into the city, Xiao Fan and his group did not linger and headed directly towards Black Emperor City.

Upon hearing that Xiao Fan and the others planned to attend the auction, Wu Hao naturally wanted to go as well. However, looking at the many students around him, he knew he couldn't leave now and could only stay there dejectedly, waiting for the academy's experts to arrive.

As for Xiao Fan and the other two, after leaving, they flew straight towards the location of Black Emperor City.

At Xiao Fan's speed, it took them nearly a day to travel before they finally arrived outside Black Emperor City.
