Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-757

Yue Mei’s gaze carried a little surprise as she looked at the young
face that wore a warm smile. For some unknown reason, Yue Mei had the
feeling that this face was somewhat familiar. However, she was unable to
recall where she had seen it.

“You someone from the Jia Ma Empire?” The snake pupils swept over the
black-robed, young man in front of her while she asked with some caution.

Xiao Yan could not help but smile when he saw the alert manner of Yue
Mei. He immediately nodded and said, “Relax, I am someone from the Jia
Ma Empire.”

Yue Mei only quietly sighed in relief when she heard this. She had just
struggled to stand up when the sore weak-feeling that was emitted from
her body caused her to fail in her attempt. She could only let out a
ferocious sigh. A round medicinal pill that emitted a serene fragrance
appeared in front of her in her helplessness. A laugh soon followed,
“You can try eating it if you are not afraid that it is poison.”

Yue Mei hesitated a little as she received the medicinal pill. A
momentary struggle appeared in her heart before she finally clenched her
silver teeth and swallowed the medicinal pill into her stomach. A warm
medicinal strength immediately began to spread to her limbs and bones
when the medicinal pill entered her stomach, expelling much of the weak
feeling within her body.

Yue Mei only began to completely relax upon sensing the change within her
body. She raised her head and revealed a friendly smile to the
black-robed, young man. She said, “Thank you very much. I am Yue Mei
from the Snake-People Race.”

Xiao Yan felt that it was somewhat comical in his heart. He studied this
fierce beautiful female snake. She had clenched her teeth back then and
intended to drag him back to be her male slave, but now she was
displaying such a gentle smile toward him. He immediately turned his head
over and threw his gaze toward the two middle-aged man whose expressions
had become unusually dense and dark after he had appeared.

“Be careful. These two people are experts from the Gold Geese Sect of
the Luo Yan Empire. Their strengths are all at the Dou Wang class and
cannot be underestimated.” Yue Mei also recovered some strength with
the medicinal strength of the medicinal pill. She moved her snake tail
and lifted her lovely body. Those snake pupils looked at the two people
in front in a dark and cold manner as she spoke.

“Gold Geese Sect?” Xiao Yan raised his brows slightly and nodded in
silence.

“This friend, we should just keep to our own business. I advise you not
to be a busybody. Otherwise, you might even throw your life away.” The
gloomy-faced middle-aged man stared intently at Xiao Yan as he slowly
spoke.

Currently, Xiao Yan had formally advanced into the Dou Huang class. It
was only natural that these two people were unable to sense his true
strength. However, from the way Xiao Yan had resolved their joint attack
earlier, it was obvious that he was not weak. Hence, these two people
held a fear within their hearts and did not immediately attack.

Xiao Yan laughed when he heard this. His body, which was standing in
front of Yue Mei, did not move. Although he did not say anything, his
actions already told the two experts from the Gold Geese Sect of his
intentions.

“Hee hee, you people from the Jia Ma Empire are really warm-hearted. I,
Jin Zhen, admire it. However, if you insist on intervening, you can only
blame yourself for having a poor fate!” A denseness gradually rose
within his eyes. That middle-aged man who called himself Jin Zhen laughed
coldly and shook his head. He immediately spoke in a deep voice to his
companion by his side, “Let’s attack together and kill him!”

That companion smiled darkly and nodded. Given the strength of the two of
them, they could be considered an overlord of a region even in the Luo
Yan Empire. Perhaps it was their good luck, but during this period of
time when they were fighting with the Jia Ma Empire, the two of them had
seldom met anyone who was a match for them other than some of the
renowned experts from the Yan Alliance. Hence, their hearts involuntarily
looked down on the Jia Ma Empire.

A bright golden glow surged out from their bodies after the words from
the two of them sounded. A sharp golden glow lingered over their bodies
and slowly rotated, leaving behind numerous scar like deep marks on the
ground.

Yue Mei’s expression changed a little when she saw the action of these
two as she stood behind Xiao Yan. Although she could guess that the
latter was likely quite strong, there would definitely be quite a great
risk if he were to deal with two expert Dou Wangs who collaborated well
with each other.

“I will act and hold back one of them later. If you are able to defeat
the other person, you should do it as quickly as possible. This is
because I can at the very most endure for a short while.” Yue Mei mused
for a moment before gritting her silver teeth and speaking to Xiao Yan in
front of her in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this. However, he smiled and shook
his head. He said, “How can you fight with your current injuries? You
should rest. Leave them to me.”

Yue Mei was a little stunned when she saw that Xiao Yan was actually
intending to fight the two alone. She turned her head and looked deeply
into the young man’s face which contained a smile. She softly said,
“It is best that you don’t overexert yourself.”

“Who cares if you are overexerting yourself. Today, quite a strong
person’s head will be added to the list of exploits of the both of
us.” Jin Zhen laughed coldly. He clenched his palm and a weapon with a
somewhat unusual shape appeared in his hand. This weapon was somewhat
like a golden ring but its outside edge was covered with a sharp hidden
thorn. The purple glint that faintly appeared on the hidden thorn was
clearly covered with a lethal poison.

His companion also took out a similar item after Jin Zhen had taken out
this weapon.

“Be careful, this is an unique weapon of the Gold Geese Sect, Goose
Feather Ring. It is extremely tricky and vicious. Moreover, if it is used
in collaboration with their Qi Method and can be quite strong.” Yue
Mei’s face changed when he saw the weapons in the hands of the two
individuals. She hurriedly warned.

“Hei, it is unexpected that you actually have quite a great
understanding of our Gold Geese Sect. However, this cannot save both of
your lives.” Jin Zhen sinisterly laughed. He threw a look to his
companion and the both of them immediately began to spread apart in an
abrupt manner. One of them charged suddenly at Xiao Yan while the other
person struck at Yue Mei who was behind Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan’s eyes were as unmoving as an old well as he studied the two
people who had swiftly flashed over. He slowly shook his head. They were
merely two Dou Wangs. Even before he had broken through to the Dou Huang
class, he could easily have killed them, much less now.

Yue Mei watched the expert from the Gold Geese Sect who had taken a
roundabout route and headed toward her. Her eyes immediately became cold
and she clenched her hand. A sharp longsword appeared in her hand. Just
as she was prepared to move, a hand suddenly grabbed her snow-white wrist.

Yue Mei was surprised when her hand was clenched. However, she had yet to
speak when Xiao Yan pulled her beside him. She raised her head and
coincidentally saw that cold and indifferent smile that drew across that
young face.

Jin Zhen and the other person revealed dark, cold smiles on their mouths
when they saw Xiao Yan’s act of protecting Yue Mei. Both of their
speeds suddenly soared and the Goose Wing Rings in their hands emitted a
frightening cold glint under the golden light.

“Fire Ring Explosion!”

Xiao Yan’s mouth moved just as the two figures entered within a
ten-foot-radius from Xiao Yan. A cold cry was suddenly emitted.

A jade-green circular fire ring suddenly began to spread in a
lightning-like manner with Xiao Yan at the middle. In merely the blink of
an eye, it violently struck Jin Zhen and his companion. A clear explosion
immediately sounded on this plain.

Gurg!

The fire ring exploded and two figures, which were violently charging
over, immediately stilled. They flew backwards in an extremely miserable
posture and finally slowly came to a stop after rubbing on the ground for
over ten meters. Mouthfuls of fresh blood were involuntarily spat out.
They lifted their heads and their faces were filled with shock as they
looked at the grinning black-robed, young man. None of them had ever
expected that they would be so miserably defeated by a single attack.

Their shocked gazes intertwined from a great distance. They seemed to
have thought of something and cold perspiration immediately covered their
foreheads. A disbelief was contained in their hoarse voice, “Dou
Huang?”

The hearts of these two people were filled with a panic when they spat
out these words. The young man in front of them appeared to be at the
very most around twenty years old. The two of them might be able to
grudgingly accept if one said that he was an expert Dou Wang. However, if
he was a Dou Huang… was that not a little too terrifying? However, no
matter how they flipped around within their hearts, the frightening
energy that was contained in the fire ring was definitely only something
that an elite Dou Huang could unleash!

“Since when did such a young elite Dou Huang appear in the Jia Ma
Empire? Why have we never heard of it?”

Yue Mei also widened her small, sleek, red mouth in shock while a storm
brewed within the hearts of Jin Zhen and his companion. She had similarly
never imagined that this young person beside her would actually be an
elite Dou Huang. Was this fellow’s training talent not a little too
frightening?

Chi! Chi!

Two muffled sounds appeared during the time when Yue Mei was stunned. By
the time she raised her head, she could only see Jin Zhen and his
companion wildly fleeing backs.

“Quickly, give chase. Don’t let them escape!” Yue Mei hurriedly
cried when she saw that the two of them were attempting to flee. However,
before her voice had finished talking, she was once again speechless as
she discovered that Xiao Yan in front of her had already disappeared.

“This speed…” Yue Mei’s delicate hand rubbed the cold sweat on
her forehead. She could not help but feel a lingering fear in her heart.
It was fortunate that this person was an expert from the Jia Ma Empire.
Otherwise, by just relying on this speed, it was likely that no one other
than Her Majesty could match him.

Two figures fell from the sky during the time that Yue Mei was wiping off
her cold perspiration. Finally, they were thrown violently against the
ground. She lowered her head to take a look only to see that they were
the two Gold Geese Sect’s experts, who had been fleeing earlier.
However, it was obvious that those two people were no longer breathing.

“They ran quite quickly…” Xiao Yan’s figure also rushed down from
the sky. He carelessly kicked the corpses and spoke in an indifferent
manner.

Yue Mei’s eyes were startled as she stared at these two people who
still ended up in such a state despite having clearly split themselves
and fled in two directions. She once again studied Xiao Yan, who was
slowly walking over in a leisurely manner. The cold sweat on her forehead
became even denser. At this moment, his strength was definitely stronger
than those few experts from the Yan Alliance who were at the peak of the
Dou Huang class!

“May I inquire about mister’s name?”

Yue Mei finally asked carefully after a few thoughts flashed across her
heart.

Xiao Yan involuntarily laughed when he saw Yue Mei’s cautious manner. A
teasing look surfaced on the corner of his mouth as he said, “Commander
Yue Mei, have you forgotten the little pervert who accidentally saw you
bathing in the desert and was chased by you for hundreds of kilometers?”

The scene from the desert back then suddenly flashed and appeared in Yue
Mei’s mind when she heard this. She then looked at the somewhat
familiar young face once again. A pair of alluring snake eyes suddenly
widened.

“It’s you?”
