Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Snatching Food from the Serpent''s Mouth

    ?

    "Soul Impact!!!"

    This was Xiao Yan''s ultimate trump card!

    Magical beasts might have strong physical bodies, but their souls were weak!

    The Spiritual Strength of a Rank 6 magical beast was far inferior to a 6th-tier alchemist, while Xiao Yan''s Spiritual Strength had already reached the level of a 5th-tier alchemist!

    A strange wave of Spiritual Strength surged toward Medusa''s soul. Xiao Yan had put his all into this spiritual attack. The collision of the Soul Impact was so intense that it made Xiao Yan himself feel dizzy, feeling as though the collision had shattered his own soul.

    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!! Medusa let out furious roars. How could she have possibly imagined that this freak Xiao Yan not only possessed a Heavenly Flame but also knew a long-lost Soul Skill!

    Even though Soul Impact was just the most basic Soul Skill, a mere High Huang Class considered rudimentary and trashy in the Hall of Souls, it had one advantage: its impact strength depended solely on the strength of the user''s soul, not the proficiency in the skill.

    Right now, Medusa felt as if Xiao Yan had knocked her soul out of her body and she was losing control over it!

    Medusa gritted her teeth and circulated her Dou Qi, jolting herself awake. Her soul returned to her body in an instant. However, Xiao Yan''s Soul Impact caused the suppressed Essence Flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame to erupt once more.

    Xiao Yan had been waiting for this moment. For Medusa to evolve, she had to use the Heavenly Flame to refine her bloodline, to burn her body, flesh, bones, and even her soul had to undergo the Heavenly Flame''s refinement before the evolution could be completed.

    Hiss!! The purple giant serpent suddenly lashed out with its tail. A heavy thud rang out as Xiao Yan hurriedly used the Heavy Xuan Ruler to block. A terrifying force was transmitted from the ruler.

    Xiao Yan was sent flying like a tennis ball, smashed into the ground by the tail.

    Medusa had already had many of her bones and flesh burned away by the Green Lotus Core Flame, and she still needed to suppress it within her body. However, she was still a peak Dou Emperor. Even heavily injured, her furious strike was not something Xiao Yan could withstand.

    With a clatter, Xiao Yan pushed away the rubble, blood streaming down his forehead.

    ''If it weren''t for the Green Lotus Core Flame burning her, that strike probably would have killed me directly.'' Xiao Yan grinned through gritted teeth.

    A hint of surprise flashed in Medusa''s serpent eyes upon seeing that Xiao Yan had survived her strike. Even though she was heavily injured, that previous strike should have been enough to kill any Dou Grandmaster!

    "Soul Impact!!!"

    With a furious roar, Xiao Yan unleashed another surge of Spiritual Strength, and the two souls collided violently once again.

    Although Medusa was the primary target of the Lightning Tribulation, Xiao Yan was also affected. A portion of the lightning blasted toward him.

    "Nihility Devouring Flame! Devour the Lightning Tribulation!"

    Whoosh!! The merged Heavenly Flame surged out, forming a black hole-like vortex that

    frantically devoured the Lightning Tribulation to shield him.

    This was the opportunity Xiao Yan had been waiting for. He fiercely bit the tip of his tongue. The taste of blood and piercing pain jolted his mind.

    "Soul! Impact!!"

    Pu! This strike caused blood to stream from his eyes. His entire brain spun wildly.

    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!! A serpent''s mournful cry reached his ears.

    Bang!!!! Almost at the same time, the Green Lotus Core Flame erupted. The terrifying green flames and the summoned lightning collided, producing an extremely violent explosion.

    The destructive power of this collision was unimaginable. The massive impact produced by the clash between the Lightning Tribulation and the Heavenly Flame instantly pulverized the entire chamber. All the furniture and decor inside were turned to flying ash. "What a terrifying energy!" The shockwave from this terrifying energy formed a fiery barrier that enveloped the entire chamber, making even Gu He, a Dou King, not dare to approach. However, Gu He was unaware that within this fiery barrier, a figure was rushing toward the Essence Flame of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

    Xiao Yan took out a bottle of 4th-tier medicinal pills and poured them into his mouth like they were free. These were all prepared by him in advance, including pills to restore Dou Qi, replenish Spiritual Strength, and heal injuries.

    ''Too terrifying. If Medusa hadn''t devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame and suppressed most of its power, it would have burned me to death directly.'' Xiao Yan''s body was severely burned, with not a single inch of skin unscathed. His head was throbbing so much that he could barely

    walk straight.

    If it weren''t for the Ten Thousand Beast Flame tempering his body, he estimated he would have turned to flying ash like Medusa.

    Xiao Yan slapped his head. He wanted to use his spiritual perception to probe for the location

    of the Green Lotus Core Flame, but he found that he had used Soul Impact too many times and

    his soul was on the verge of dissipating.

    "Mao Wu! Help me find the Essence Flame!"

    The empty space distorted and Mao Wu leaped out, landing on Xiao Yan''s shoulder.

    "Hmm? Wait, what are you holding in your mouth?!"
