962. Solve the Soul Wind
Immediately after leaving the Bodhi Tree, Hun Feng blocked Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi's path, his aura sharp and imposing.
Hun Feng stared intently at Xiao Yan, his tone unfriendly. "Now that our cooperation is over, Xiao Yan, it's time to settle our scores!"
Inside the Bodhi Tree, because they had to face the same opponent, Hunfeng was still very cautious in joining forces with Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi. But now that the opportunity had been obtained and the Bodhi Seed was in his possession, it was time to get rid of Xiao Yan, this major threat!
The humiliation and defeat in the Heavenly Tomb was an obsession for Hun Feng. Although the wound left by that attack had been healed, he would still feel a dull pain when he saw Xiao Yan.
Soul Wind knew that Xiao Yan had obtained Xiao Xuan's inheritance and was not easy to deal with. However, this place was not connected to the outside world, so he could only rely on his own strength.
Inside the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Hun Feng had already crossed the threshold of a one-star Dou Sheng and reached the early stage of a two-star Dou Sheng. Facing Xiao Yan, a one-star Dou Sheng, and Huo Zhi, who hadn't even reached the Dou Sheng threshold yet, Hun Feng was quite confident in defeating them.
"First, capture this guy's soul, confiscate his strange fire, then take him back for thorough interrogation!"
Just as Hun Feng unleashed his Dou Qi, a level two Dou Sheng, and was about to make his move, Xiao Yan showed no sign of urgency. He appeared completely prepared to surrender and proactively asked Hun Feng, "Our cooperation went very smoothly just now. Hun Feng, are you sure you want to turn your back on us now?"
"Cooperation was originally a last resort." Soul Wind stretched out his slender arm and summoned the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Fire.
"If it weren't for the strangeness of that thing, I could have obtained all the opportunities by myself. I advise you to surrender now and hand over Xiao Xuan's remnant soul, and I might be able to secure a position for you in the Soul Clan!"
Xiao Yan looked at Hun Feng, who was releasing his Dou Qi to suppress him and Huo Zhi, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "I have no intention of joining the Soul Clan, and you have no ability to force me to go."
"But since you're willing to make a move, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Hun Feng witnessed an extremely astonishing scene. The earth within this space trembled violently, and the ancient Bodhi tree behind them, which was thousands of feet tall, seemed to come alive. Its originally still branches rapidly lashed out, bringing with them an extremely deafening roar, as if it wanted to surround her.
Seeing this, Hunfeng was indeed alarmed. He quickly unleashed the Void Devouring Flame, which created a giant black hole vortex in mid-air, attempting to devour the branch.
Xiao Yan was well aware of Hun Feng's plan, but he still didn't make a move. He simply stood there and coldly snorted, "Soul Sealing and Knowledge Restriction!"
The soul power, which had shown no signs of life before, appeared simultaneously from all angles around Hun Feng at Xiao Yan's command, completely enveloping her before she even had a moment to react.
With his Soul Wind Battle Qi breaking through its bottleneck, Xiao Yan's soul also crossed the final step from the early to the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm during his hundred lifetimes of reincarnation. Now, he can remain silent while being omnipresent.
Hunfeng's soul was still at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, so it was naturally no match for Xiao Yan. The moment Xiao Yan made his move, Hunfeng realized that he could no longer control his body. Before him was an endless, silent abyss, and all his five senses disappeared. He could not perceive anything.
This feeling lasted for two breaths, but that time was enough to change a great deal. When he opened his eyes, Hunfeng saw that several branches of the Bodhi tree had bound his hands, feet and body tightly.
Hunfeng tried her best to twist her body, but she couldn't exert any strength at all, because a beam of emerald light shone directly on her from the Bodhi tree, making it impossible for her to even use her battle qi. She was bound and unable to move an inch.
"We could have left this place peacefully together, but you're in such a hurry, so don't blame me," Xiao Yan said jokingly, looking at the trapped Hun Feng.
"How do you manage to control the Bodhi Tree?" Soul Wind's tone was full of confusion.
Looking at Hunfeng, who was bound up and unable to move, Xiao Yan also smiled.
Hun Feng possesses genuine two-star Dou Sheng strength, and coupled with her status as a prodigy of the Soul Clan and the benefits she gained from her hundred lifetimes of reincarnation at the Bodhi Ancient Tree, her combat power is undoubtedly formidable. In a true, head-on confrontation, Xiao Yan isn't entirely confident he can defeat her.
However, subduing Hunfeng does not necessarily require personal intervention.
After Xiao Yan awoke from his cycle of reincarnation, he felt an inexplicable affinity for the Bodhi Tree, which made him suspicious. He wasn't initially certain whether he had truly attained the Bodhi Heart.
However, when they left the Bodhi Tree and the familiar emerald light appeared on them, Xiao Yan sensed an unprecedented change. His fighting spirit was not only not suppressed, but he also felt able to control everything.
When that feeling came, Xiao Yan finally confirmed that he had obtained the Bodhi Heart, the supreme treasure produced by the Bodhi Tree!
It was mostly because of this Bodhi Heart that Xiao Yan gained the ability to manipulate the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Although the Bodhi Ancient Tree had been invaded by black energy and suffered greatly for many years, its ten-thousand-foot body had shrunk to a thousand feet in size and its strength was no longer what it used to be, it was still bigger than a horse even when it was dead.
A being who could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Dou Di powerhouse many years ago, dealing with a mere Soul Wind is naturally a piece of cake now.
"I don't need to explain to you why I was able to do this. Originally, out of consideration for our shared history, I didn't want to make things difficult for you. But since you're taking the initiative to deal with us, then don't blame me."
Looking at Xiao Yan so close to him, Hun Feng was furious and wished he could tear Xiao Yan in two. However, his fighting spirit was suppressed, so he had to soften his tone.
"Put me down, and I promise I won't lay a hand on you here."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's smile widened: "Not going to attack us? I didn't expect you still to be so clueless. Even if I were to take your life here, no one would know!"
At this point, Xiao Yan's gaze turned cold and hard. The branches binding Hun Feng tightened suddenly, causing her thighs, waist, abdomen, and chest to be exaggeratedly deformed by the branches. She herself felt difficulty breathing, and her face turned red.
Just as Hunfeng was struggling to breathe and felt he was about to suffocate, Xiao Yan commanded the branches of the Bodhi tree to loosen, and Hunfeng, as if he had escaped a calamity, began to breathe heavily.
"We've worked together before, and I have no intention of taking your life here."
Xiao Yan looked at Hun Feng, having already made his decision: "You just obtained so many Bodhi seeds. Give me ten, and I'll let you go."
