Chapter 168 Zhu Kun Is Panicking
No. 1 panic
Xiao Ling took a deep breath and looked firmly at the slowly rising Heart Flame of Fallen Heart.
He slowly stretched out his right hand and pointed directly at the center of the blazing flames in front of him, preparing to go deep into it to explore the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame.
Fallen Heart Flame seemed to sense the threat and suddenly released a wave of heat, like the roar of a wild beast, trying to repel the intruder.
Xiao Ling's sleeves were instantly burned in the heat wave and turned into ashes.
Xiao Ling turned a deaf ear to this and without hesitation put his arm deep into the burning flame, as if to touch the core of the flame.
When the arm entered the flame, the scorching heat emitted by the Fallen Heart Flame instantly penetrated the skin, causing severe pain.
Xiao Ling gritted her teeth, and the sweat on her forehead kept dripping like water drops on the eaves after rain.
The originally calm face twitched slightly because of the pain, but the blue-gold pupils did not cause the slightest disturbance.
In the depths of the flames, the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame was like a cunning spiritual snake, shuttling through the fire, trying to escape Xiao Ling's capture.
Xiao Ling's hand explored the flames, and every time he came close, he was cleverly dodged by the source. Every impact of the flames made his palms burn more and his skin began to show signs of burnt black marks.
Just when Xiao Ling was injured, a cool energy surged out of his chest and quickly flowed to his arm.
This energy was as nourishing as a clear spring, greatly alleviating his pain.
Xiao Ling's body trembled due to the injection of this power.
Yao Chen watched the whole process quietly from one side, and was extremely shocked by Xiao Ling's unique self-healing power.
He silently speculated in his heart: "Such extraordinary recovery ability will definitely become this kid's powerful trump card in the future. Even when faced with the burning of devouring alien fire, it can greatly reduce the risks he takes."
"Unfortunately, this ability does not seem to be as effective in treating others as quickly as oneself. Otherwise, it may really be able to replace the miraculous effect of the Bone-Blending Blood Pill."
Seeing the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame escaping in the flames, Xiao Ling's eyes suddenly condensed, and a strong sense of soul burst out from between his eyebrows.
With the help of his keen soul perception, he accurately locked the action path of the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame in the churning flames.
The origin moved skillfully through the sea of fire, trying to escape capture.
But Xiao Ling's fingers captured it quickly and firmly like iron pliers. No matter how it twisted, it could not escape his control.
After a fierce fight, Xiao Ling firmly grasped the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame and slowly pulled it out from the invisible flame.
As the source was separated, the originally blazing flame gradually dissipated after a while, and finally returned to nothingness.
Xiao Ling moved his gaze to his hand, where lay the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame - a small colorless snake. It was as transparent as a wisp of smoke, but it had a similar shape to the previous invisible fire python, but it was smaller in size. A lot.
The little snake twisted slightly in Xiao Ling's palm, as if it was still trying to escape, but the faint light emitting from its body revealed its extraordinary nature.
Xiao Ling's eyes were like a torch, staring at the little colorless snake struggling slightly in his palm. His eyes narrowed, and powerful fighting spirit surged out from the crystal, tightly trapping the little snake, making it unable to move at all.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling's lips finally showed a smile of relief, and he whispered to himself: "Humph, I finally got you under control. Little guy, from now on you can follow me and become Emperor Yan. It’s just a matter of time.”
As if sensing Xiao Ling's will, the original little snake of Fallen Heart Flame suddenly stopped resisting, as if thinking about whether Xiao Ling's words were credible, which saved Xiao Ling a lot of effort.
Yao Chen floated to Xiao Ling's side and glanced sideways at the tamed Fallen Heart Flame in Xiao Ling's hand. With a smile on his face, he said teasingly: "Xiao Ling, your luck is indeed extraordinary. This is the fourth strange fire that has fallen into Xiao Ling's hand. Hand, it seems that I guessed it right, you are indeed God’s son.”
Xiao Ling raised a bright smile and scratched her head: "Haha, it's just a fluke."
How can I be God's son? I, Xiao Ling, have been able to reach this point all because of my own efforts. It's just a little bit of cheating and some foresight.
Seeing Xiao Ling's appearance, Yao Chen did not continue talking about this matter, and then asked: "So, where do you plan to retreat and refine this fallen heart inflammation?"
Xiao Ling cast his eyes on the deep black hole and pointed there: "Let's go to that underground magma world. I will use fire as a furnace to build a stronger myself."
Yao Chen also looked at the underground magma world and nodded in agreement:
"Although the fire attribute energy there is indeed abundant and wild, it will not have any impact on you who possesses many kinds of strange fires. It is indeed an excellent place for retreat."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly: "Yao Lao, please go back to Najie to rest first. I need to explain something to them."
Yao Chen responded: "Remember, don't delay. Controlling the Fallen Heart Flame consumes a lot of fighting energy."
After saying this, his figure gradually disappeared and disappeared into the Bone Flame Ring in Xiao Ling's hand.
When Xiao Ling saw that Yao Chen had entered the Bone Flame Ring, he no longer hesitated. He held the Fallen Heart Flame, and his fighting spirit wings suddenly spread out, like the light of dawn, piercing the sky, and quickly flew away from the cave entrance.
In just a moment, Xiao Ling passed through the thousand-layer seal formation and arrived at the location of Su Qian and others.
When Xiao Ling's figure appeared in everyone's sight, everyone around him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Han Yue came over impatiently. Her eyes were full of concern and her voice was trembling as she asked, "Xiao Ling, are you injured?"
Before she finished speaking, her hands were already gently groping his body, checking for any injuries.
The faces of several inner dean elders around them had unknown smiles on their faces, and they cast teasing glances at the two of them.
Zi Yan snorted dissatisfiedly, put her hands on her hips, stared at Han Yue with dissatisfaction, and muttered in a low voice: "Huh, damn Han Yue, when did the relationship with Xiao Ling become so good! "
Xiao Ling coughed a few times, a blush appeared on his face, and he chuckled slightly awkwardly, trying to resolve the delicate atmosphere.
Only then did Han Yue realize her gaffe, and shyly stepped aside, lowering her head, the tips of her ears turning red.
Xiao Ling's eyes were as gentle as water. He looked at Han Yue and his voice was as gentle as the spring breeze blowing on his face: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief, bit the corners of her lips gently, and said in a voice as low as a mosquito's buzzing: "That's good."
At this time, Elder Su Qian stepped forward, his eyes fell on the colorless snake in Xiao Ling's hand, and asked curiously: "Is this the origin of the Fallen Heart Flame?"
Xiao Ling nodded, looked away from Han Yue's face, looked at Su Qian, and replied: "Yes, Great Elder, this is the original fire of the Fallen Heart Flame."
Xiao Ling continued: "I plan to retreat for a while and focus on refining this fallen heart flame."
Han Yue couldn't help but blurted out: "Then you must be careful, we will wait here for you to come back."
Although her voice was soft, it was full of reluctance and worry.
Xiao Ling responded with a warm smile and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it won't take long. When I get out of seclusion this time, I will be a Douzong."
Hearing Xiao Ling say that she would be in seclusion for a while, Zi Yan became impatient. She jumped up to Xiao Ling and asked eagerly: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, what should I do with my pills? After you go to seclusion, , is to make medicine pills for me."
Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan's eager look and couldn't help laughing. He gently took off the Bone Flame Ring in his hand, used his fighting spirit to drag it up, and smoothly delivered the ring to Zi Yan. At the same time, He winked at her and said meaningfully: "Zi Yan, your 'snacks' are in this ring. I have prepared them for you a long time ago. Don't worry, you can't miss a bite."
Zi Yan's eyes lit up and she took the bone inflammation ring that floated over. She recognized it at a glance as the bone inflammation ring where Yao Chen lived.
She was as excited as a child who got a treasure, with a bright smile on her face. She smiled at Xiao Ling and said sweetly: "Haha, Xiao Ling, you are so considerate, I knew you would give it to me. Prepared in advance.”
Although I feel that the pills made by Xiao Ling are more delicious, the pills made by old man Yaochen are not bad, so I will just have to make do with them during this period.
Zi Yan's words still echoed in the air, and she lightly flapped the pair of fighting wings glowing with mysterious purple light behind her, and her figure appeared in front of Xiao Ling like lightning.
Before Xiao Ling could react, she playfully left a light kiss on his cheek.
After doing all this, a proud smile appeared on the corner of Zi Yan's mouth, accompanied by a silver bell-like laughter, and she ducked aside gracefully like a light purple swallow.
Xiao Ling froze on the spot, her fingers gently touching the slight moisture on her face that still contained Zi Yan's breath, her eyes showing a mixture of doting and helplessness, and finally she just shook her head with a wry smile.
Xiao Ling couldn't help but secretly complain. Ever since Zi Yan broke through the bottleneck of the sixth-level monster, she seemed to have become a different person. Not only did her strength increase greatly, her clinging skills also increased day by day.
Zi Yan, who used to be independent and occasionally act coquettishly, has now become like a clinging little dragoness who doesn't want to be by his side all the time. She even wants "surprises" from time to time while practicing.
Xiao Ling shook his head with a hint of happiness and worry, thinking to himself, I don't know if days like this are a blessing or a curse.
However, every time he saw Zi Yan's eyes full of dependence, Xiao Ling's heart couldn't help but soften. Just let her cling to her like this. After all, this is also a different kind of sweet burden.
…
In front of the gate of Emperor Tuoshe's cave, Zhu Kun suddenly sneezed unexpectedly.
His body trembled slightly, and Zi Yan's figure appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Next to Zi Yan, there is a vague figure of another man. The figure's face is blurry, but you can feel that the distance between him and Zi Yan is gradually shortening. Their faces seem to be close to each other. The intimacy at that moment , making Zhu Kun feel uneasy for no reason.
"Daughter, my baby girl!!!" Zhu Kun's cry was full of pain and urgency. His body instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the barrier desperately.
However, when he touched the invisible barrier, he was rebounded by a powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.
He got up and tried again, once, twice, three times...each time he failed. The barrier was like a chasm, trapping him tightly.
Zhu Kun's eyes almost burst into flames, his anger and helplessness intertwined into a violent emotion.
"Gu Emperor Tuoshe, what kind of bullshit barrier did you set up! You trapped me here and prevented me from being reunited with my daughter. I curse you..." Zhu Kun cursed loudly, his voice echoing in the empty barrier space.
The extremely angry Zhu Kun could no longer suppress his emotions. His body began to change violently, and finally transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long Taixu Ancient Dragon.
He opened his huge mouth and roared at the door of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave. As the dragon breathed in and out, it seemed that it was going to destroy the entire cave door.
The anger and sorrow seemed to have turned into substance, filling the air and suffocating people.
However, no matter what Zhu Kun did, the door of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave remained motionless, as if mercilessly mocking his incompetence.
Only the sound of "dong dong dong" echoed in this strange space, accompanied by the throbbing sound like a heartbeat, which lasted for a long time...
...
Yao Chen, who was in the bone inflammation ring, witnessed all this and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. The curve of his mouth could not hide his pampering. He whispered to himself:
"Xiao Ling, this kid, actually ordered me around."
Although he said this, Yao Chen didn't feel any disgust in his heart. Helping Zi Yan to refine the pills was just a piece of cake for him, and seeing Zi Yan so happy, he was also happy.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling turned to everyone and explained a few words briefly.
Xiao Ling first looked at Han Yue and said softly: "Han Yue, please inform Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian for me, tell them that I have entered the Tianfen Qi Training Tower to practice, and tell them not to worry about my safety."
Han Yue nodded slightly and replied: "Don't worry, Xiao Ling, I will convey it."
Xiao Ling walked to Zi Yan again, touched her head, and said gently: "Zi Yan, you must practice well during this period, don't be lazy, otherwise I won't make pills for you after I come out of retreat."
Zi Yan blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently: "Xiao Ling Xiao Ling, I know, hehe."
With Han Yue After Zi Yan finished her instructions, Xiao Ling finally looked at Elder Su Qian and said solemnly, "Elder, have you collected enough Heart Flame for this period of time?"
Nodding, Su Qian touched his graying beard, "Don't worry, I'm ready. As long as it doesn't take more than half a year, the amount of Heart Flame will be enough for the inner courtyard students to practice. You can go with peace of mind."
Xiao Ling nodded, "In that case, I don't need to say more."
He bowed to the elders around him, "Everyone, goodbye."
Then, he was ready to turn around and leave, entering the Tianfen Qi Training Tower.
