It wasn't that he couldn't beat Xie Biyan; it was just that he joined forces with Xie Biyan to make up for his lack of combat experience. After all, if he really wanted to end the battle, with the full power of the Three Thousand Thunderclap, the Earth-rank fighting skills Cloud Crane Shadow and Three-Colored Fire Lotus, which one of them couldn't kill Xie Biyan?
Upon seeing Xie Biyan merge with the Blood Scorpion Demon Emperor, Xiao Fan initially didn't want to pay any attention. However, unable to tolerate Xie Biyan's arrogant demeanor, Xiao Fan curled his lip, then flicked his hand, and the Chaos Fire appeared in his palm.
Just as Xiao Fan was about to throw the Chaos Fire over to burn the blood cocoon, he glanced at the Scorpion Biyan and Blood Scorpion Demon Emperor quietly merging inside. A smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face, and then the Chaos Fire transformed into a ball of ethereal, transparent flame—the Fallen Heart Flame.
Xiao Fan's lips curled into a smile as he used his soul power to control the Fallen Heart Flame, which spread outwards from the blood cocoon and quickly enveloped it. However, Scorpion Biyan inside was completely unaware of all this.
Seeing the Fallen Heart Flame filling the sky, Xiao Fan calmly re-evolved the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and symbolically burned it towards the blood cocoon outside Scorpion Biyan's body.
However, to Xiao Fan's surprise, as soon as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame came into contact with the blood cocoon, the blood cocoon, which originally looked incredibly thick, began to flow. Then, it was burned by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and gradually dripped down, falling to the ground.
The cautious Xiao Fan did not let it fall, but instead took control of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame again, burning the dripping blood droplets to ashes.
After a while, just as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame gradually burned away the blood cocoon, the aura of the Scorpion Biyan inside reappeared.
His aura, which was originally at the peak of the four-star Dou Zong realm, suddenly surged, and he broke through to the five-star Dou Zong realm, eventually stabilizing at the late stage of the five-star Dou Zong realm.
Although he didn't understand why Xie Biyan's realm was different from what Xiao Fan remembered, Xiao Fan didn't care much about it, whether Xie Biyan broke through to the late stage or peak of the five-star Dou Zong realm.
As Xie Biyan's aura gradually became apparent, the outer blood cocoon began to shrink inwards and was then completely absorbed by the figure inside. The aura of the late-stage Five-Star Dou Zong rose a little more, but it still did not reach the peak of the Five-Star Dou Zong realm.
Xiao Fan cast his gaze into the blood cocoon. The figure of Xie Biyan, which had originally appeared, now looked extremely strange, or rather, it had become an absolute monster.
Xie Biyan's upper body remained unchanged, but from the waist down, it transformed into a red scorpion's body. The two combined in a bizarre way, making Xiao Fan feel somewhat nauseous.
Xie Biyan opened his eyes, and his originally dark eyes had turned into narrow, scarlet eyes, filled with violent emotions.
"Roar, Xiao Fan, prepare to die!"
Scorpion Biyan looked at Xiao Fan with a mocking expression on his face. He waved his hands constantly, and the legs on his lower body, the blood scorpion, twisted continuously. A powerful aura emanated from him.
Xiao Fan glanced at Xie Biyan's condition, his gaze sweeping over the scorpion-like shape of his lower body. He frowned and instantly lost any intention of continuing to fight Xie Biyan.
With a subtle smirk, Xiao Fan gripped the Thousand Flame Spear, his aura gradually rising. A golden light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xie Biyan. The fire-attribute battle qi in the world began to converge on Xiao Fan, and the enormous phenomenon instantly attracted the attention of the entire battlefield.
As Xiao Fan's strength increased, he discovered that his Golden Eyes, which were originally only used to detect the opponent's strength and realm, could also be used to detect the opponent's weaknesses.
Although they couldn't see the specific battle above, the surging fluctuations between heaven and earth made the people fighting on the ground realize that the battle above had reached a critical moment.
"Earth-rank combat skill..."
The Soul Palace expert repelled the combined attack of Yun Yun and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion with a single blow. Looking up, he could naturally see the battlefield where Xiao Fan and the other person were fighting.
Seeing Xie Biyan's condition, the Soul Palace expert hesitated for a moment but did not retreat. In his opinion, even if Xiao Fan used a Earth-rank battle skill, he might not have mastered the essence of the skill. Even if Xie Biyan was no match for him, Xiao Fan would not have an easy time in the end.
In order to completely bring the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect under his control in the future, he naturally cannot retreat now.
High in the sky, Xie Biyan sensed Xiao Fan's aura and knew that Xiao Fan was using a level-one fighting technique. However, the fusion with the Blood Scorpion Demon Emperor filled his mind with violent emotions, so he did not make a move. Instead, he thought that after killing Xiao Fan, such fighting techniques would also be his own.
"A crane's shadow in the clouds!"
As the preparation was complete, the Thousand Flame Spear in Xiao Fan's hand emitted a dark light. Without hesitation, Xiao Fan swung it forcefully towards Xie Biyan's location, and a dark crane shadow rushed towards Xie Biyan's body.
"Wow!"
The cry of the crane brought Xie Biyan, who was in a state of violent rage, back to his senses. Sensing the terror of Xiao Fan's attack, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He then manipulated his body, and the crimson battle qi within him began to emerge and continuously condense on his body surface.
Although Earth-rank combat skills are terrifying, Xie Biyan knew that with his current half-beast physique and his defensive methods, blocking this attack would be somewhat difficult, but he would not be seriously injured.
Just as Xie Biyan was gathering his blood energy to try and stop him, Xiao Fan, who was in the distance, curled his lips and uttered a soft cry: "Heart Fire, rise!"
As Xiao Fan finished speaking, Xie Biyan suddenly discovered that several wisps of ethereal flames had appeared near his heart, burning his internal organs.
The sudden surge of inner fire stunned Xie Biyan, instantly robbing him of his chance to defend himself.
"boom!"
On the ground, all that could be seen was a dark, fiery crane shadow that appeared before exploding with a deafening roar. The aura it generated was so high that it filled the crowd with fear.
After the explosion, terrifying heat and flames scattered in all directions. Centered on Tianrong City, the clouds over a large part of the Chuyun Empire were burned away by the heat, leaving the sky completely exposed.
Chapter 104: Destroying the City!
"Such...such terrifying energy fluctuations..."
With a single sword strike, Si Kou Qingtian beheaded one of the Wanxie Sect elders. Sensing the energy fluctuations emanating from the sky, his apprehension towards Xiao Fan intensified. Regardless of whether Xiao Fan could defeat Xie Biyan, the Si Kou family absolutely could not afford to be enemies with such a genius.
Si Kou Qingtian surveyed the battlefield. Both Xie Biyan and the Blood Scorpion Demon Emperor had been lured away by Xiao Fan, and the Soul Palace experts were currently being held back by Si Kou Old Ghost, Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, and Yun Yun. For the time being, it seemed that the Si Kou family actually had the upper hand.
Sensing the dawn of victory, Sikou Qingtian ignored the battlefield of the Dou Zong experts and rushed to the positions of other Dou Huangs. With Sikou Qingtian's addition, the advantages of each battlefield were expanded. Then, Sikou Qingtian and his group split up to continuously support the Sikou family's experts.
In an instant, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect suffered heavy losses. Several elders were caught off guard by the reinforcements from Si Kou Qingtian and his group, and perished on the spot.
High in the sky, blazing flames spread in all directions. A battle qi barrier appeared in front of Xiao Fan, blocking the aftershocks of the explosion. He then focused his gaze on the center of the explosion.
As Xiao Fan investigated, a dark figure fell directly from the center. Upon closer inspection, it was Xie Biyan. However, at this moment, most of Xie Biyan's lower body, the blood scorpion body, was destroyed, and the broken parts were stained with splashing chaotic fire, which was still burning his body.
As for his upper body, one of Xie Biyan's arms had completely disappeared, and all the hair on his body was gone. His face was swollen from the shockwave of the explosion, and the burning Chaos Fire had pierced through his body, making his internal organs clearly visible.
At this moment, Xie Biyan flew backwards towards the ground, his aura almost completely gone. In his current state, he would probably die instantly upon hitting the ground.
Xiao Fan watched the falling Scorpion Rock with a calm expression, though his face was somewhat pale. Apart from expending a lot of soul power, he was not injured. Seeing the falling Scorpion Rock was within Xiao Fan's expectations.
Using the strange nature of the Fallen Heart Flame, when releasing the Cloud Crane Shadow, he caught Scorpion Biyan off guard and forced him to take a hit from Xiao Fan's Earth-rank Dou Technique. He only survived because Scorpion Biyan had merged with the Blood Scorpion Demon Emperor, which enhanced his physical defense.
If it were anyone else, there probably wouldn't even be a corpse left.
As he continued to fall, Xie Biyan, who was barely clinging to life, gradually regained consciousness. As soon as he awoke, the excruciating pain throughout his body was almost unbearable.
His swollen cheeks made his vision blurry, and he couldn't see Xiao Fan, who was high in the sky, at all.
Looking at his current state, Xie Biyan was still in a daze. He never expected that he couldn't even withstand a single move from Xiao Fan. All his plans over the years had become a complete joke.
Xie Biyan tried to mobilize his internal fighting spirit to stabilize his body, but found that his entire body was like a broken sieve, and he could not mobilize his fighting spirit at all. Xie Biyan felt a sense of desolation.
At this moment, Xie Biyan had fully regained consciousness and was aware of his condition. He knew that he had no way out today. Looking at the ground gradually approaching below, Xie Biyan's resentment grew stronger.
"Xiao Fan... Si Kou Qingtian... even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!"
A wicked glint flashed across Xie Biyan's bloated face. Feeling his own tattered body and the magnificent and prosperous Tianrong City below, Xie Biyan sneered, "Let this Tianrong City be buried with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Biyan's entire body suddenly emitted a burst of white light, which felt very warm. As this white light appeared, Xie Biyan's body gradually began to recover.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the eerie white light is actually a strange white flame. Xie Biyan has burned his own soul essence, completely incinerating his soul.
Ignoring the pain, Xie Biyan burned his soul to repair his body. His once unsightly face returned to its former appearance. With his hands in front of his chest, Xie Biyan's fighting spirit and soul gathered in front of him.
"May they all be buried with me! Hahahaha..."
As Tianrong City drew ever closer, Xie Biyan let out a strange laugh. Immediately, all the fighting spirit and soul within his body transformed into a ball of pitch-black energy, condensing in front of him.
In his final moments, Xie Biyan pushed the energy ball in his hand toward Tianrong City below, and then his entire body exploded, completely disappearing from this world.
All of this happened in a very short time. Xiao Fan did not expect that Xie Biyan would be so resolute. As soon as he woke up, he burned his own soul to deliver the final blow.
Seeing the energy condensing on Xie Biyan's chest, Xiao Fan transformed into a bolt of black lightning and flew rapidly toward Xie Biyan's location. However, before he could reach him, Xie Biyan exploded, pushing the energy in his hand toward Tianrong City.
Although Xiao Fan didn't know what it was, since it was Xie Biyan's last strike, which he had paid with his life, he naturally couldn't let him have his way.
"laugh!"
Xiao Fan transformed into a bolt of lightning, arriving just as the energy cluster was about to fall into the city. He approached the cluster, pointed his spear at it from above, and immediately felt a resistance. Xiao Fan's spear pierced straight through the energy cluster, which exploded above Tianrong City upon being struck by Xiao Fan's attack.
Immediately, pitch-black energy burst forth from it, spreading outwards continuously. Xiao Fan, the first to sense the pitch-black energy, immediately realized that it contained a poison that was enough to kill a Dou Wang. Chaos Fire emerged from his body and enveloped the surroundings, trying to block the poison.
However, the attack that Xie Biyan obtained by burning his soul was not so simple. Although Xiao Fan's speed was already extremely fast, the speed at which the poison spread far exceeded Xiao Fan's expectations. The Chaos Fire could only block a small part of the poison in time. More poison instantly spread outwards from the center.
The two Battle Kings who were fighting turned pale the moment the poisonous fog got close. They retreated frantically, but the poison that had entered their bodies slowed down their battle qi. They fell down and were enveloped by the spreading poison again. They quickly turned into a pile of bones, which were then corroded by the poison and disappeared completely from the world.
Upon witnessing such a terrifying scene, the fighting group abandoned all pretense of fighting and fled in all directions, disregarding their own safety.
Upon seeing this attack, Si Kou Qingtian's face showed shock and anger. He never expected that Xie Biyan would make such a decision, wanting the entire population of Tianrong City to be buried with him.
However, seeing the toxins spreading in all directions, Si Kou Qingtian was completely powerless to stop it.
P.S. I'll post one chapter for now. I have to go out for a bit, and I'll make up for the rest tonight. I'll slowly catch up on the ones I owed during this time!
Chapter 105 Obstacle
The Soul Palace expert felt Xie Biyan's final blow and showed a look of surprise. He glanced at the Wanxie Sect, whose fate was sealed, shook his head, and then ignored Yun Yun and the others' attacks. He turned and left, appearing in the distant sky, gazing at Tianrong City, seemingly lost in thought.
Inside the city, countless people looked up and saw the black energy spreading outwards in the sky, blotting out the sun, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts.
The black energy continued to spread outwards and then sank to the ground. Now it has almost filled the sky above Tianrong City, and there is simply no time to rescue the people.
This is also why Sikou Qingtian is so helpless.
At this moment, although Xiao Fan had tried his best to use the Chaos Fire to spread and stop the spread of the poison, his soul power was also running low after the continuous high-intensity battles.
Xiao Fan took out a pill to restore his soul power from his storage ring. Without even looking at it, he directly lifted the stopper and poured it into his mouth, but it still couldn't keep up with the consumption.
call out!
Just then, a figure appeared directly above Tianrong City. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Sikou Laogui.
At this moment, Si Kou Lao Gui's face was also extremely pale. Just now, he had really exhausted himself to hold back the Soul Palace experts.
Si Kou Lao Gui appeared in mid-air, his fighting spirit surging outwards like it was free, blocking some of the poisonous mist. He then laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, my son, Xie Biyan is dead. The Si Kou family is no longer hindered. Run your household well. People in the city, my Si Kou family has a clear conscience. We have done right by the emperors of past dynasties and by the common people. Today, Xie Biyan wants to commit this great atrocity, and I can only stop him for a while. You all should hurry and escape for your lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Kou Lao Gui did his best to block the poisonous fog descending from above.
Upon hearing Si Kou Lao Gui's words, Si Kou Qingtian's face showed a hint of emotion. He then smiled easily and appeared in mid-air, saying, "Father, my Si Kou family has never had any cowards. Besides, I have already sent Thirteen and Ning'er away, so our Si Kou family is not exactly extinct."
Si Kou Qingtian laughed freely, and then his steady voice resounded throughout the entire city.
"All members of the Izumo royal family, heed my command! Open all four city gates. Those with cultivation, do your utmost to help the people evacuate. Anyone found causing trouble or bullying others in the chaos will be executed on the spot!"
"Yes!"
