326. Decision-making in desperate situations
Even at such a critical moment, Xiao Yan, holding the warm and soft beauty in his arms, still felt a stirring in his heart, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Xiao Yan guessed what Little Fairy Doctor was planning and said, "Don't have any improper thoughts. I will protect you and get out of here."
Little Fairy Doctor frowned: "What's the difference for me? You think you can survive if you stay here alone?"
Xiao Yan also said in a deep voice, "Someone I can absolutely trust once said that I have a power of luck within me. Thinking about it, it should be able to come in handy in a life-or-death situation like today, but taking things won't protect you."
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Are you telling the truth?"
In fact, Little Fairy Doctor did not believe in the power of destiny that Xiao Yan mentioned at all. Such a thing should only exist in novels.
Faced with Little Fairy Doctor's skepticism, Xiao Yan helplessly replied, "I really didn't lie to you. Do I look like the kind of person who would joke around with his own life?"
Xiao Yan hadn't lied to Little Fairy Doctor, but what Little Fairy Doctor didn't know was that Xiao Yan himself had no idea when the so-called power of destiny should actually work. At the time, the Void Emperor had only vaguely told him that it would naturally work when the time was right. Xiao Yan could only silently pray that it would work quickly, since he desperately needed it now!
"Alright." After weighing the options, Little Fairy Doctor chose to trust Xiao Yan and didn't insist further. She wasn't one to throw tantrums, and since she couldn't use her Dou Qi herself, forcing herself to stay would only add to Xiao Yan's burden. With Xiao Yan's ever-expanding array of trump cards, he might be able to hold his own against Tang Qiying, but if he also had to protect her while dealing with her, then both of them would definitely face certain death!
"However," Little Fairy Doctor's voice shifted, a thick killing intent emanating from her eyes, "if anything happens to you here today, no matter the cost, I will personally kill him before committing suicide to meet you again!"
Xiao Yan gave a wry smile, knowing that Little Fairy Doctor was reminding him in this way: don't just focus on protecting her safety. Now it seems Mu Yaoyin's assessment of Little Fairy Doctor was quite accurate; seemingly gentle and weak, Little Fairy Doctor possessed an incredibly strong heart!
"Here it comes!" Xiao Yan channeled his Dou Qi and gently pushed Little Fairy Doctor aside. His hand seals flew. After using the Emperor Seal Technique many times, Xiao Yan had become extremely skilled. He was no longer able to tell that he was preparing a powerful Dou Technique like he had at the beginning.
Tang Qiying, pursuing with incredible speed, arrived before Xiao Yan in a flash. Xiao Yan, having gathered his power, unleashed the Overturning Sea Seal, directly at Tang Qiying. A yellow light suddenly shone from Tang Qiying's chest, but Tang Qiying completely ignored the attack and instead punched Xiao Yan in the chest. Moreover, he deliberately avoided the most vital area—the heart—his purpose was simple: to cripple, not kill!
A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Blood surged in his right hand, and his arm began to tremble slightly but abnormally. Eight Extremes Collapse!
With both sides engaging in a straightforward, direct attack, a powerful energy erupted in the middle. Xiao Yan and Tang Qiying were both directly repelled. However, Xiao Yan noticed the surging yellow light in Tang Qiying's chest, which definitely shielded him from a lot of damage. The hidden force of the Eight Extremes Collapse was even directly neutralized.
Xiao Yan felt a sweet taste in his throat, but the bloody sensation disappeared as soon as it appeared. However, Xiao Yan still forcibly controlled the blood from flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Tang Qiying looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of smugness in his eyes. Xiao Yan's original strength was already quite good, and no matter how much he wanted to kill Xiao Yan, he never underestimated Xiao Yan's strength. Although Tang Qiying's strength had been somewhat reduced due to the long journey during the day's battle, he still had no problem defeating Xiao Yan at this moment.
Tang Qiying paused only slightly before thrusting the short blades in her hands at Xiao Yan again with a cunning attack. The two blades, imbued with bluish-black battle aura, resembled two piercing pythons, ready to devour their prey. A thunderous roar echoed from Xiao Yan's body as he vanished from his spot. Although the short blades were cunning, they ultimately lagged behind Xiao Yan by a step.
Tang Qiying didn't seem impatient at all, but kept chasing Xiao Yan relentlessly. Xiao Yan's speed was increased to the extreme, and afterimages kept appearing on the spot, but they would be destroyed by Tang Qiying in the next instant.
"Something's not right," Xiao Yan thought to himself. He had fought Tang Qiying in the Tianluan Clan and knew that the latter's speed when he unleashed his full power was beyond his reach. Now that Tang Qiying was slowly and steadily entangled with him, he definitely had a backup plan.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to retaliate, Tang Qiying's lips curled into a smile, and his Dou Qi surged from his feet, forming a mysterious pattern in the area. The pattern defined the area where Xiao Yan and Tang Qiying had intertwined. At the center of the pattern, Xiao Yan immediately felt an immense pressure descend upon him, a pressure that even he could not ignore.
"Let's see how you run this time!" Tang Qiying unfurled his battle aura wings, his speed increasing dramatically once more. With this shift in power, Xiao Yan couldn't even detect Tang Qiying's movements for a moment. A flash of cold light appeared, and blood spurted from Xiao Yan's arm, poison rapidly spreading from the wound. Then, another flash of cold light appeared, slashing horizontally towards Xiao Yan's legs. Xiao Yan realized he couldn't keep up with this pace at all.
"Then let's use brute force to overcome skill!" The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within Xiao Yan's body surged immediately.
The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire: The First Transformation, the Azure Lotus Transformation!
The azure flames swept out like a storm, engulfing the charging Tang Qiying. However, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was also affected by the array set up by Tang Qiying, and it broke free after only two breaths.
However, Xiao Yan had already completed the hand seals again, and the azure flames once again ignited the fire-attribute fighting spirit within his body.
The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, the Second Transformation: The Transformation of the Heart of the Sea!
At this moment, Xiao Yan's aura surged again to the level of a quasi-Dou Zun, while Tang Qiying was at the peak of Dou Zong. This was the first time that Xiao Yan was able to suppress Tang Qiying in terms of level.
The black Xuan Heavy Ruler had silently appeared in Xiao Yan's hand. He swept the ruler out, and amidst the clanging of metal against metal, although Xiao Yan was a step slower, he used brute force to overcome skill and directly knocked Tang Qiying backward.
Blood-red flames also ignited, and Xiao Yan's aura surged once again, directly reaching the level of a one-star Dou Zun!
