Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Xiao Yan vs. Yao Ao

    ?

    Xiao Yan''s eyes flickered with uncertainty. If he fled now, there was indeed a chance he could escape, but that would mean giving up on the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.

    Mao Wu had already completely devoured Yao Ao''s soul imprint. Right now, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was completely ownerless and he could refine it at any time.

    Moreover, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was ranked twenty-second. Even though he had not been able to refine the 5th-tier Blood Lotus Essence Pill, his body had absorbed some of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and was strengthened by it. Coupled with a whole box of Ice Spirit Cold Fountain in his storage ring, refining the Ten Thousand Beast Flame could be said to be most suitable for him at this moment.

    The success rate was very high.U//ppTodated fr/o/m

    Xiao Yan''s eyes sharpened as he glanced at the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and muttered something under his breath.

    Roar!!

    Xiao Yan turned around, and a series of beastly roars erupted from his body. The Ten Thousand Beast Flame that he had stolen from the Amethyst Winged Lion King surged out of his flesh and enveloped him in a blood-red flame.

    His eyes became fierce, his teeth grew into a pair of fangs, and his hair turned sharp and bristly. He looked like a humanoid magical beast.

    "Oh ho? It seems you had obtained some wisps of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame before." Seeing Xiao Yan''s body undergoing beast transformation, his muscles bulging and physical strength explosively increasing, Yao Ao wasn''t the least bit flustered. He could tell at a glance that Xiao Yan had used a bit of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to temper his body before.

    Xiao Yan went all out, dumping the entire batch of five Purple Flame Pills straight into his mouth. In an instant, an unbridled and furious flame swept through his five viscera, six bowels, and eight extraordinary meridians, as a horrifying fire-attribute energy slammed into every inch of his body.

    But that wasn''t all. He directly swallowed several more pills that could temporarily increase his cultivation and physical strength, raising his cultivation to the 1-star Dou Grandmaster stage!

    Roar! Xiao Yan roared toward Yao Ao as terrifying heat waves erupted from his body. With the combined power of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and the medicinal pills, his physical strength was now comparable to that of a Rank 4 magical beast.

    Yao Ao had a look of disdain on his face. Up to this point, Xiao Yan had not used the Soul Command Token to summon strong allies, which confirmed to him that Xiao Yan had indeed been bluffing all along.

    It was useless no matter how much Xiao Yan tried to increase his strength. Yao Ao knew his own strength very well. Even though Yao Li''s original cultivation wasn''t high, with a Soul State soul and half of the power of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, his current combat strength could rival a peak Dou King or even a 1-star Dou Emperor.

    Just as Xiao Yan seemed ready to risk everything in a fight, a surge of flames suddenly shot into the sky behind him, and a spiritual transmission echoed in his mind.

    "Human boy, remember what you promised me."

    Xiao Yan''s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile upon hearing this spiritual transmission.

    He turned to look behind him and saw a gigantic eight-winged tiger beast that was tens of meters tall staring back at him. Xiao Yan knew this was actually the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, but because a part of the soul of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger had fused with it, its appearance looked a bit like the Demon Tiger.

    The Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger turned into a streak of flames, enveloping his entire body before he could react. In an instant, an unfamiliar power gathered on him.

    "This is the remnant strength of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger?!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was utterly astonished. The Lord of the Magic Beast Mountain Range had actually chosen a human over it?! How could this be!!

    It did make sense, though. Yao Ao was a high-grade 7th-tier alchemist. It would be strange if

    he didn''t have one.

    The flames solidified! A fire dragon with bared fangs and brandished claws pounced toward Xiao Yan. Facing this terrifying fire dragon, he seemed to lose all reason and actually charged forward to fight it head-on!

    With a thunderous boom that shook the earth, Xiao Yan''s hands turned into tiger claws and directly grabbed the fire dragon''s claws!

    The cries of the dragon and the furious roars of ten thousand beasts rang out. Even against the powerful fire dragon, Xiao Yan remained fearless with the gathered power of ten thousand

    beasts.

    "Scram!" Xiao Yan shouted. The muscles on his arms bulged, his veins popping out! With a swift motion, he directly flipped the fire dragon 180 degrees and hurled it back at Yao Ao as if

    it were a mere weight.

    The sheer strength of his body was overwhelming.

    Yao Ao''s expression changed drastically upon witnessing Xiao Yan''s immense physical strength. Instantly, a fiery armor enveloped his body as he prepared to withstand Xiao Yan''s

    counterattack.

    The cave began to collapse and the ground shattered into countless pieces with a resounding crash. The scene was incredibly spectacular.

    In contrast, the battle between the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Mu Long, who should have fought more fiercely given their superior strength, seemed more like a lazy scuffle. Especially Mu Long, he completely refrained from attacking with lethal force and just focused on holding back the Amethyst Winged Lion King to prevent it from going to provide support.

    "Mu Long! Come take care of him!" Yao Ao shouted at Mu Long.

    However, Mu Long acted as if the battle was too fierce for him to break free. He continued to drift farther and farther away, even giving the impression that he was being slightly

    suppressed.

    Even though medicinal pills could enlist the help of elite experts, those hired hands wouldn''t

    risk their lives for you. True loyalty couldn''t be bought with pills.

    "Damn it! All beast slaves, attack!!" Yao Ao waved his hand and countless beast slaves

    awakened. He still had an ace up his sleeve!

    These measures were originally meant to deal with the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger and to prevent the magical beasts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range from interfering.
