Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Unlocking the NPC-Like Hai Bodong

    ?

    At this moment, the black flames disappeared into the void and returned to Mao Wu''s body. In the void, Mao Wu simply rubbed its face and went back to sleep.

    Only the black charred marks on the ground and the traces left behind by the battle proved that everything that had just happened was real, not a hallucination or near-death experience of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company members.

    This sudden change left everyone stunned, not just the observing mercenaries from the Desert Metal Mercenary Company, including those from the former Sand Mercenary Company and Luo Bu, but even Xiao Yan''s two older brothers were dumbfounded. This change was simply too shocking.

    Xiao Ding was directly dazed, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. All the observers were similarly stupefied, almost unable to believe what they had just witnessed!

    Fifty to sixty Dou Masters and three Dou Grandmasters, all of them were burned into nothingness under this black flame that suddenly appeared.

    Not even ashes remained!

    Dou Qi Armor, group formations, Mo Clan''s Qi Methods and Dou Techniques - all of these were insignificant. Under the Nihility Devouring Flame that had absorbed a lot of fire energy and various other things and was already showing its power, everything crumbled into dust and became history.

    The moment the Nihility Devouring Flame swept across, a Dou King in the City Lord''s Mansion of Rock Desert City suddenly opened his eyes. His deep gaze was terrifying as he murmured, "This youth must not be offended under any circumstances..."

    It should be known that Rock Desert City was the city closest to the Snake-People Tribe, and the City Lord stationed here possessed unfathomable strength. Although he wasn''t among the Ten Strongest in the Jia Ma Empire, his strength was definitely ranked high.

    "Pass on my order. The garrison of Rock Desert City must not have any conflicts with the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. Those who disobey will be dealt with by military law!"

    This scene also shocked all the spectators, including some onlookers from Rock Desert City who were watching from afar.

    Everyone was left completely astounded.

    "Third Brother... you, you, you, your strength!!" Xiao Li finally managed to ask after who knows how long.

    Although Xiao Yan was strong half a month ago, he couldn''t have wiped out so many people, including three Dou Grandmasters, with just a wave of his hand!

    Xiao Ding narrowed his eyes and asked, "Third Brother, you succeeded?"

    Xiao Li suddenly remembered why Xiao Yan had left half a month ago when Xiao Ding asked this question.

    He couldn''t help but gasp! Didn''t this mean that Xiao Yan had really snatched the Heavenly Flame from Queen Medusa''s hands?!

    He smiled knowingly as he looked in the direction of Desert City. Wasn''t there still an elite Dou Emperor who needed his help?

    I help you, you help me. Let''s all help each other.

    Xiao Yan didn''t say anything more and directly left Rock Desert City. It took him a whole afternoon to fly from Rock Desert City to Desert City. It was already evening when he arrived. ''The speed of flying-type Dou Techniques is still too slow. Even with enough Dou Qi, it actually takes half a day to travel between cities.''

    Landing at the entrance of the shop, Xiao Yan couldn''t help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the half-closed door. To think that Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, was actually hiding in such a humble shop with his Dou Qi sealed.

    As soon as he pushed open the door and stepped inside, Hai Bodong''s voice came from within, "We''re closed."

    Xiao Yan pursed his lips and impatiently replied, "Fine, fine, you''re closed. Then I''m closed too. Find someone else to break your seal."

    !!!! Hai Bodong squeezed out a smile and came out from inside, "Hehe, it''s you, little friend. Come, come, have a seat."

    Xiao Yan didn''t stand on ceremony. He slowly walked into the shop and found a place to sit

    down.

    Hai Bodong''s gaze swept over Xiao Yan, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. It had only been a little over a month since they last met, yet he could sense the latter had become much

    stronger.

    Taking out a kettle from his storage ring, Xiao Yan flicked his finger and a wisp of green flame appeared on his fingertip. He tossed it into the kettle, instantly boiling the water, and poured himself a cup of hot water.

    Hai Bodong''s expression changed the moment he saw the green flame. "So it really was you who obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame."

    He could naturally guess that Xiao Yan had obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame because after Gu He and the others split up to escape, their rendezvous point in Desert City was his shop. After all, he was the one who had provided Gu He and the others with the information. Xiao Yan chuckled, took a sip of hot water, and said with a grin, "It was just luck. I almost got caught by Sect Leader Yun Yun."

    Hai Bodong shook his head with a wry smile. "To escape from Yun Yun, no matter how it happened, it was due to your ability."

    After a moment of silence, he asked, "I wonder what brings you here this time...?" Xiao Yan laughed inwardly. Hai Bodong really couldn''t hold back his impatience. But it was

    understandable. Anyone would be anxious to break the seal after having their Dou Qi sealed for over twenty years.

    With a click, Xiao Yan put down his teacup, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile, "I have another way to help you break Queen Medusa''s seal."
