428. Making a move in secret
Feeling surrounded by the crowd, Xiao Yan immediately made a decision: to capture the leader first!
If this continues, who knows what unexpected things might happen? Song Qing isn't very strong; as long as he's captured, we can continue talking.
The crimson lotus heart fire in his hand surged once more, rushing straight towards Song Qing's soul hand seal. The crimson lotus heart fire also transformed into streaks of fire pythons, entangling Song Qing's hand seal formed from soul power.
"boom!"
The energy impact sent Song Qing flying backward, while the soul power emanating from the Soul Hand Seal swept towards Xiao Yan. Although Song Qing's soul power was not as strong as Xiao Yan's, his technique was indeed unique, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
The next moment, several attacks were already entangled with Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had already sensed that none of these people had the combat power of a Dou Zun, so naturally he had nothing to fear!
The purplish-red flames returned to Xiao Yan's chest, and Xiao Yan's hand seals also changed rapidly, his aura suddenly increased, and he had already reached the Dou Zun realm.
"The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!"
The purplish-red flames suddenly changed color, turning blood red. The lotus shadow spread rapidly from Xiao Yan's center, and the hearts of the people who had gathered around were simultaneously filled with a powerful inner fire.
Because of the interference from the Heart Flame, their attacks slowed down, giving Xiao Yan an opportunity. The Red Lotus Karmic Flame immediately spun and rose, and a small firestorm centered on Xiao Yan began to rage and sweep across the area, breaking through their blockade of Xiao Yan once again.
Just as Xiao Yan had pinpointed Song Qing's location and was about to capture him, a subtle yet cunning soul force pierced Song Qing like a sharp blade.
The timing of this energy's appearance was so subtle that even Song Qing himself was initially intimidated by Xiao Yan's terrifying combat power and did not notice this deeply hidden soul attack.
"Watch out!" A voice rang out at the same time Xiao Yan noticed it; it was the alluring woman behind Song Qing.
Song Qing felt the fluctuations of soul power that had arrived in front of him, and his face turned pale. The attack came so quickly that he had no time to react.
Just as the soul attack was about to pierce Song Qing, a black vortex suddenly bloomed, steadily blocking Song Qing's forehead and pulling the soul attack in.
"Hmm?" A voice, tinged with regret, rang out.
After Xiao Yan blocked the attack for Song Qing, he immediately turned around. There was a master hidden in the crowd that he had not noticed at all! Xiao Yan felt that he himself could not possibly have done such a sharp and deeply hidden soul attack. How could someone want to use him to deal with Song Qing?
Then Xiao Yan saw a person retreating imperceptibly on the outer edge of the battle. Judging from appearance alone, that person was only at the level of a three-star Dou Zong. However, when Xiao Yan tried to use his soul power to investigate more clearly, he was completely unable to do so.
"Trying to leave?"
Xiao Yan immediately followed the man; he would never allow anyone to use him as a pawn.
The figure chuckled as he saw that Xiao Yan had noticed him, and then disappeared from the level in a few moments.
Thunderous roars echoed from Xiao Yan's body as he immediately followed the man's footsteps. Surprisingly, none of the Pill Tower members could stop Xiao Yan as he unleashed his full speed!
Watching Xiao Yan disappear, Song Qing angrily shouted, "What are you standing there for? Chase after him!"
"Stop chasing him. He saved you once, and you still don't recognize who he is?" The alluring woman, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, spoke up for the first time to stop Song Qing.
The members of Danta were also very interested in the alluring woman and took the initiative to greet her: "Miss Cao Ying!"
"Whoever he is, how could he possibly stand up to the Dan Tower?" Song Qing said indignantly.
Cao Ying glanced at Song Qing, a hint of disdain subtly appearing in her eyes: "That person just now used the Burning Flame Valley secret technique, Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's movement technique, Three Thousand Thunder Movement, at the same time."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Danta members varied. With Cao Ying's prompting, an idea suddenly came to mind.
Cao Ying added with a half-smile, "Plus his crimson flame, I only recall one person who could perfectly match him!"
"Could it be that person who's been making headlines lately?"
"Is he the rumored new young master of the Starfall Pavilion?"
"That ruthless person who killed a Dou Zun with the strength of a Dou Zong!"
Cao Ying nodded elegantly: "Indeed, at such a young age, Xiao Yan has the backing of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Starfall Pavilion, is the disciple of Medicine Venerable Yao Chen, and killed a Dou Zun powerhouse with the strength of a Dou Zong!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly involuntarily: "If it really is Xiao Yan, then it's not surprising at all."
"That person hasn't even broken through to the Dou Zun level yet, but he treated our blockade as nothing. His reputation is well-deserved!"
Seeing the people from the Pill Tower praising someone they had just met so highly, Song Qing felt somewhat resentful. He had never believed the rumors circulating in Zhongzhou; in his opinion, they were nothing more than exaggerated claims stemming from the incompetence of those people!
"Even if he has the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Starfall Pavilion backing him, so what? Does he think he can do whatever he wants in the Pill Tower?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Ying shook her head with a hint of helplessness: "Xiao Yan's killing of a Dou Zun is something I've personally confirmed, and he's also the disciple of the Medicine Venerable. Do you think he'll participate in this Pill Gathering?"
Cao Ying's reminder made Song Qing finally realize that Xiao Yan was most likely also attending the Pill Gathering! Among the many parts of the Pill Gathering, there were parts where killing was completely prohibited. Provoking a killing star like this was not a wise thing to do.
Seeing Song Qing's expression change, Cao Ying smiled seductively and walked out, saying, "His teacher is Venerable Medicine, and you should have heard clearly who he's here to see..."
Song Qing froze on the spot, unable to keep up with Cao Ying's pace.
……
Xiao Yan was clearly unaware of the many things that happened after he left, and in his view, the person who attacked Song Qing from the shadows was even more dangerous.
After chasing for a while, Xiao Yan finally managed to stop the mysterious man.
"I'll talk," the mysterious man who had made the move said, dressed in a large gray robe, his face hidden in shadow, making it impossible to discern his features. "Since you also dislike Song Qing, why won't you let me go after I helped you?"
The latter's tone was somewhat mocking, but Xiao Yan remained unmoved: "It's my business to deal with him, but if you want to use someone else to do my dirty work, I will absolutely not give you the chance."
"This is boring." The gray-robed man shrugged. "How about letting me leave? Although you've killed a Dou Zun, you're definitely no match for me."
Xiao Yan's eyes gradually turned cold and sharp: "How will you know if you don't try?"
