The beam of light struck Xiao Yan’s protective Qi first.
The silver-white armor formed by Qi resisted most of the beam’s attacks, beginning to shatter inch by inch, and after three seconds, it could no longer resist and completely shattered.
When the Qi armor shattered, Xiao Yan’s Physical Body became the final barrier.
The outermost skin cracked first, followed by the flesh dissolving, and finally the tendons and bones collapsing.
In just a short moment, Xiao Yan’s entire back was completely unrecognizable, looking tragically gruesome.
Fortunately, the energy of the Silver Moon Wolf King’s attack was finally exhausted.
Just before Xiao Yan could no longer resist, the beam of light completely dissipated.
This attack seemed to have consumed the Silver Moon Wolf King immensely; the silver moon patterns on its body dimmed significantly, the entire wolf looked listless, and the huge wound on its waist and abdomen caused its vitality to constantly drain away.
However, when it saw that Xiao Yan was in an even more miserable state than itself, it instantly felt a thrill as if it had humped a wall for ten days.
“Hahaha, damned human!
How dare you provoke this king, haha…
cough cough…
haha…
cough cough…
bleh~”
The Silver Moon Wolf King laughed wildly on the cliff edge extending from the cave.
In the dense forest below, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan completely ignored it.
Yun Yun trembled as she gripped her sword, tears already covering her entire face.
Her voice was not as gentle as usual, and was filled with panic: “Why, why did you save me?
You clearly didn’t have to…
What should I do, what should I do?
Aren’t you an Alchemist?
Don’t you have any Medicinal Pills that can save your life?!
Quickly take them out and eat them!”
Xiao Yan’s expression didn’t change much, only frowning tightly due to the pain: “What kind of bullshit are you talking about?
Have you ever seen any best partners abandon their partner?”
“As for saving your life, go slaughter the Silver Moon Wolf King right now, bring me into its cave, and help me absorb the fire inside.
I can still live!
Stop crying!”
Xiao Yan thought to himself: “Why haven’t I died yet?
Isn’t this awkward?
My life-saving trump card wasn’t even used, and instead, I can’t display my strength.”
Yes, he actually wasn’t panicked at all.
Because in the Dou Di Legacy he received, there were indeed life-saving trump cards, and returning from the dead was a piece of cake, it was just that the cost was quite high.
If not for this, he wouldn’t have risked his life like this after having spent only a short time with Yun Yun.
At this moment, Yun Yun’s expression turned blank for a split second after hearing Xiao Yan’s words, then she quickly reacted.
Regardless of whether what Xiao Yan said was true or false, she understood that she had to go try!
At the very least, she had to let the Silver Moon Wolf King die before Xiao Yan!
Yun Yun held Xiao Yan and flew into mid-air, her Qi releasing without reservation: “Wind Extreme: Falling Kill!”
The violent wind tornado condensed once again, falling onto the Silver Moon Wolf King in the blink of an eye.
This heavily injured half-step Tier 7 Magical Beast had no ability to resist.
Its skin was cut open by the wind tornado, its single horn was severed, and its vitality hit rock bottom in the blink of an eye.
With resentment and unwillingness, it glanced at Yun Yun and Xiao Yan.
A generation of Demonic Beast overlord…
a wall-humping wolf king who cowered in a cave and barely enjoyed its beastly life, finally perished.
Yun Yun did not dare to delay even a bit, holding Xiao Yan as she headed straight into the cave.
However, she had only walked halfway when the scorching high temperature coming from inside the flames made it impossible for her to advance even half a step.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan not only was not affected by the high temperature at all, but a trace of comfort even appeared on his face, and the wounds on his body were healing rapidly at an eerie speed.
“Put me down and wait for me here.” Xiao Yan spoke with slight weakness, the ferocious injuries on his back having already recovered a lot.
Yun Yun did not know about Xiao Yan’s special Physique, and watched this scene in shock.
He really survived?
Xiao Yan broke away from Yun Yun’s embrace, his body stumbling as he leaned against the wall and walked deeper into the cave.
Yun Yun still wanted to get closer, but the scorching high temperature of the flames desperately blocked her.
Helplessly, she could only stand guard here with worry.
Deep inside the cave, the red flames flickered brilliantly, and faint phantoms of Myriad Beasts appeared within the flame shadow.
When Xiao Yan stepped into this place, the flames located right in the center of the cave immediately responded violently.
It was like male and female, the sun and the moon.
Even before contact, in some mysterious way, Xiao Yan felt that he had established a connection with the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
Looking at those flames, they were absurdly tame; the flames even leaned toward his side, like a little baby waiting to be placated.
Xiao Yan probed forward step by step.
The terrifying high temperature of the Heavenly Flame had no effect on him at all; instead, the closer he got, the faster the injuries on his body healed.
He spread his palm, and the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire autonomously floated up, letting him manipulate it as he pleased.
Xiao Yan gained a deeper understanding of his Fire Spirit Body.
His Physique had an even higher attraction to the essence of heaven and earth like the Heavenly Flame than things like Beast Fire.
When the Beast Fire was devoured and subdued by him, it always had the intent to resist, but this Heavenly Flame instead gave him the feeling of urging him to absorb it quickly.
“This…
Teacher, do you think I still need to use the blood lotus pill and the ice spirit cold spring?” Xiao Yan spoke to the empty air.
Yao Lao floated out from the storage ring, his mouth wide enough to swallow the testicles of an Amethyst Winged Lion King.
“Yan Xiaozi, what on earth is your Physique?
Could it be that you are the Reincarnation of an ancient Dou Di?
Ah?!” Yao Lao guessed boldly.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose: “I’m not too clear about that, but when I was born, there really were a lot of Legacies in my brain.”
Xiao Yan chose to leak a little information.
Hearing this, Yao Lao showed a thoughtful expression, then said: “No wonder you have many Dou Techniques and secret techniques that even this master doesn’t know.”
“But based on this master’s observation of your mind, you are not one of those ancient old monsters, so is it because of your special Physique that you obtained a Legacy left behind on the Fighting Qi Continent by some Dou Di?”
Before Xiao Yan could reply, a look of confirmation surfaced on Yao Lao’s own face, and a sense of gratification at finally figuring everything out appeared on his face.
Xiao Yan did not refute either, letting Yao Lao guess away.
Since he could imagine everything himself, it saved Xiao Yan the brainpower of making up lies.
“Teacher, act as my Protector.
I am going to absorb the Heavenly Flame.” Xiao Yan sat down cross-legged.
Yao Lao snapped back to his senses and laughed: “You brat, do you still need this master to act as your Protector?
If that woman outside lets even a single bug fly in, this master will immediately dash his head against the wall and die.”
“You brat, your romantic luck is far stronger than this master’s.”
Xiao Yan’s expression was inexplicable.
Far stronger?
Thinking of those women in the original work who were infatuated with Yao Lao and remained chaste while waiting for him for many years, Xiao Yan almost laughed out loud.
It seemed that after all these years, Yao Lao hadn’t made progress in anything else, but his shamelessness had indeed grown quite a bit.
“You brat, what are you randomly thinking about?
Hurry up and go absorb your Heavenly Flame!”
“Right, the blood lotus pill and ice spirit cold spring still need to be used.
The energy and high temperature of the Heavenly Flame are right there; even if it completely obeys you, it’s impossible for you not to be affected at all.
You still need to pay extra attention.” Yao Lao instructed.
Xiao Yan’s expression turned serious, and he replied: “This Disciple remembers it well.”
Afterwards, he took out the blood lotus pill and ice spirit cold spring from the storage ring, and only then did his gaze shift toward the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
His first time absorbing a Heavenly Flame was about to be taken away by the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire!
