Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-781

“Xiao Yan, what do you intend to do?”

The two Mulan Elders did not dare to make any unusual movements. They
stared at Xiao Yan’s hand-claw wrapped around the tiger-headed
Elder’s throat. At this moment, the latter only needed to use a little
strength to kill the Elder on the spot. They could only cry out sternly
in the fear of harming their companion.

“Nothing, I am merely getting rid of the problem at its roots.” Xiao
Yan faintly smiled. His voice was quite calm.

However, it was these calm words that caused the hearts of the three
Mulan Elders to sink. Although they had taken precautions, they did not
expect Xiao Yan to actually take such a big risk and come to the three
army alliance’s grounds to launch a sneak attack on them.

“If you kill him, you will completely become enemies with our Mulan
Valley. At that time, it is likely that the situation will turn into one
where we won’t give up until you die!” The Mulan Elder on the left
side studied Xiao Yan with dark, solemn eyes while he spoke in a
ferocious manner.

“My Yan Alliance was nearly eliminated by all of you. Isn’t it a
little too late to say this?” Xiao Yan’s faint smile remained on his
face, but now contained some denseness. His hand tightened slightly while
he said this. The tiger-headed Elder’s face immediately turned red. He
widened his mouth and started panting.

The two Mulan Elders’ faces twitched. They finally inhaled a deep
breath of air a moment later. They suppressed the fury within their
hearts and one of them said, “Xiao Yan, as long as you let him off, I
swear that the Mulan Valley will no longer find trouble with the Jia Ma
Empire and the Yan Alliance. What do you say?”

“Nothing.” Xiao Yan continued to smile as he replied.

The eyes of the two Mulan Elders shrank. Their hands, which were behind
their backs, suddenly began to form seals without leaving any traces.
Their mouths, however, used a deep voice to speak, “If you aren’t
satisfied, we can use our Mulan Valley’s ‘Three Beast Savage Skill’
to exchange for his life. How is it? This Qi Method of ours is a Di class
Middle level Qi Method. You have personally experience just what its
strength is like.”

“Three Beast Savage Skill?” Xiao Yan’s eyes moved slightly upon
hearing these words. The eyes of the two Mulan Elders flashed with joy
that was difficult to detect. However, they did not have time to speak
before Xiao Yan laughed, “I am indeed very interested in this Qi
Method. However, he must die!”

Xiao Yan’s eyes suddenly became dark, cold at the end of his words. A
jade-green flame suddenly surged from his hand. His middle finger
immediately pierced forward and penetrated the throat of the tiger-headed
Elder under the cover the the fire glow.

Grug! Grug! Gurg! Gurg!

A pillar of blood suddenly shot out and eventually left a piercing,
bright-red blood stain in the snow-white tent.

The two Mulan Elders blankly stared at the tiger-headed Elder, whose life
force was swiftly disappearing. The latter’s body was slowly falling in
a flaccid manner. The eyes of the two Mulan Elders immediately split. If
they were given a little more time, they would be able to forcefully
circulate the ‘Three Beast Savage Skill’. As long as they placed
their combined strength into the tiger-headed Elder’s body, breaking
through Xiao Yan’s clamped hand would definitely have been extremely
easy. However… they lacked just a little…

“Bastard Xiao Yan. The old me will turn your bone into ashes today!”

A furious savage roar suddenly sounded as powerful Dou Qi suddenly surged
out from the bodies of the two Elders. The momentum that was created by
the Dou Qi blew away the enormous tent. The figure inside was immediately
revealed to the eyes of the experts from the Mulan Valley who were
patrolling in the sky.

Xiao Yan’s expression was also ice-cold. The liquid blood on his hand
had already been vaporized by the flame. With the help of his sharp
Spiritual Perception, he naturally understood what these two old fellows
were doing in secret. However, for them to assume that this could delay
him, did they really think that he was some inexperienced little fellow
who had just left home?

“Capture him! Regardless of whether he is dead or alive!” One of the
Mulan Valley Elder’s finger pointed at Xiao Yan while his furious roar
resounded over the entire camp. The death of the tiger-headed Elder would
be an extremely serious blow to their Mulan Valley. Having lost him, it
was no longer possible to use the ‘Three Beast Savage Skill’ and
having lost the ‘Three Beast Savage Skill’, the Mulan Valley had lost
the ability to frighten those factions within their empire that were
looking at them with ill intent. This was definitely fatal to their Mulan
Valley.

It was because of this reason that the two Mulan Elders were so furious
at this moment.

Many human figures shot into the campsite after the Mulan Valley’s
Elder furiously roared. They swiftly appeared on the middle area.
Numerous dense, cold eyes from the ground, the sky, and the top of the
tents were staring intently at Xiao Yan. Their eyes were filled with a
dark and chilly killing intent that seemed intent on tearing Xiao Yan’s
corpse into ten thousand pieces.

Xiao Yan’s face also changed slightly when he saw so many experts. With
his Spiritual Perception, he could sense that there were three elite Dou
Huangs present. Adding the two Mulan Elders, there was a total of five
elite Dou Huangs. If they were to join hands, even Xiao Yan would be
forced to temporarily seek shelter.

Of course, it was not that Xiao Yan did not want to flee but there was
nowhere to do so. These experts from the Mulan Valley were extremely
experienced in combat. They had sealed off all the escape route he could
take the moment they appeared. Hence, he could only forcefully charge
through if he wanted to flee.

Xiao Yan suddenly crouched down while this thought flashed through his
heart. He ruthlessly broke a finger of the tiger-headed Elder in front of
the stunned gazes of the people around him. He obtained the Storage Ring
on it. He stuffed it into his breast pocket as his feet stomped on the
ground. His body suddenly shot to the sky.

“Stop him! Stop him now! Regardless of whether he is dead or alive!
Anyone who kills him will be promoted to an external valley Elder!”

The two Mulan Elders were momentarily stunned because of Xiao Yan’s
action. By the time they had recovered, they suddenly became like a cat
that had its tail stepped on. They immediately jumped and shouted in a
raving manner.

The reward that the two Mulan Elders promised seemed to possess a great
allure in the eyes of these experts from the Mulan Valley. The eyes of
those experts in the sky immediately turned red. Each of them let out an
inflamed roar as they crazily charged toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan flapped the fire wings on his back as he dodged the head-on
attack of an elite Dou Huang. His expression was dark and cold as he
struck violently toward the head of an expert Dou Wang by the side. Flame
surged immediately and the punch hit the latter. His head became like
watermelon that burst apart immediately.

After killing an expert Dou Wang with a single punch, Xiao Yan’s face
was covered with some blood. His dark-black eyes gradually revealed a
bloodthirsty, ferocious look as he once again violently charged forward
and rushed toward the exit of the campsite with all his might.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The fist that was covered by the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame violently
collided with an expert Dou Huang. A powerful energy wind exploded from
the spot where the two collided. Xiao Yan’s shoulders trembled while
that expert Dou Huang, whose strength was around that of one star, seemed
to have received a heavy blow as he flew back. In the end, he spat out
two mouthfuls of fresh blood. His eyes were filled with shock as he
looked at Xiao Yan whose entire body was covered with fresh blood. It was
likely that he did not expect to be defeated so miserably after just one
exchange in the hands of Xiao Yan, who seemed like someone in the same
class as him.

Although this punch of Xiao Yan might have shaken and injured that Dou
Huang, the latter had managed to quietly stop his speed for an instant.
It was during this instant that the two Mulan Elders, who had been
staring at Xiao Yan with pernicious eyes, suddenly rose. One was at the
front while the other was at his back. Their mouths emitted a mad angry
roar as a bloody glow gathered on their fists. The bloody glow finally
transformed into a savage bear head and a savage lion head!

“Fierce Bear Ground Splitting Fist!”

“Lion Inch Force!”

Xiao Yan’s expression was solemn as he sensed the sharp, bloodthirsty
attacks from his front and back. They had basically locked all of his
retreat routes. His face also became slightly solemn as his hand seal
moved and a circular dark-green fire ring swept in all directions with
his body at the middle.

“Fire Ring Explode!”

A low roar sounded and the swiftly spreading jade-green fire ring
ruthlessly collided with the fierce attacks of the two Mulan Elders.
Immediately, a clear energy explosion resounded across this sky like
thunder.

Wild and violent energy swiftly spread. The fire ring gradually
disappeared but Xiao Yan still sensed two hidden force striking toward
him. The ruthless attacks, which were targeted at his chest and back,
caused his throat to emit a soft groan.

While Xiao Yan was injured, the two Mulan Elders were also blasted by the
Glazed Lotus Heart Flame until fresh blood dripped down from their fists.
Clearly, both parties had suffered some injuries during this head-on
collision.

Xiao Yan had yet to have the time to catch his breath after temporarily
forcing the two Mulan Elders back when over ten powerful forces suddenly
shot over from all directions. They aimed at all the fatal points on Xiao
Yan’s body as they wrapped around him. Clearly, after having suffered
the sharp close range attack from Xiao Yan, these experts from the Mulan
Valley began to avoid a close range battle. Instead, they chose to rely
on their powerful Dou Qi to put off Xiao Yan’s movement.

Xiao Yan could ignore these Dou Qi attacks if there was only one of them.
However, with so many of them attacking in an orderly manner, even he
could not just allow them to hit him as they wanted to. Hence, he swiftly
used the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame to form a jade-green fire armor on the
surface of his body.

Some of the Dou Qi pillars might have been scattered by Xiao Yan but
there were still over ten of them that smashed against the fire armor.
The energy wave that was formed from the intense explosion caused a great
tremor to appear within Xiao Yan’s body.

“Dammit… I will be held back by them in this place if this
continues!” These Dou Qi pillars might not injure Xiao Yan too much,
but they caused his speed to be reduced. By borrowing this reduced speed,
the two Mulan Elders and the other few elite Dou Huangs had already
completed the nursing of their auras. Their eyes revealed a fierce glint
while they stared at Xiao Yan. Powerful Dou Skills were swiftly being
agglomerated.

Xiao Yan’s heart sank as he sensed the many powerful Dou Skills that
were being gathered around him. Just as he was about to go all out and
prepare to blast these bastards to death with the ‘Angry Buddha Lotus
Flame’ once again, a ray of light suddenly rushed over from the distant
sky. Within a couple of flashes, it went on a rampage and charged into
this chaotic sky. A graceful lovely figure twisted before appearing in
front of Xiao Yan. She extended her delicate hand and the Dou Qi pillars
that rushed from all over the place disappeared into nothing.

The black figure turned her head, revealing a calm and exquisitely
bewitching face. It was surprisingly Medusa!

Her eyes swept over Xiao Yan’s blood covered body and immediately
sensed his somewhat chaotic aura. Her bewitching, long pupils revealed a
dark, cold killing intent.

“Next, leave them to me. I will let these two old fellows pay the
price.”
