645. Remelting the Fire Lotus
"You idiot, can't you see I'm injured?" Wei Jiangyuan grumbled upon hearing Xiao Yan's instructions, but then nodded in agreement, "I'm not in good shape either, so whatever you want to do, do it quickly!"
Then, a verdant flame appeared in Wei Jiangyuan's palm. Since Xiao Yan wanted him to buy some time, and Ling Fengzhui was currently unable to move, he could take advantage of this time to do more things. A fully-fledged half-saint, no matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, was no match for him.
Having received a reply, Xiao Yan stopped watching the fight between Wei Jiangyuan and Ling Fengzhui. Based on his understanding of Wei Jiangyuan, once he agreed, he would do his utmost. Now that the Wind Fury Dragon Flame was no longer in his possession, the limit he could utilize was the Fire Lotus, a fusion of four different flames. Fortunately, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame was originally the weakest of his flames; without it, Xiao Yan could control it more freely. While the Fire Lotus's power would be weakened, it wouldn't be a catastrophic reduction.
At this moment, Xiao Yan raised his hands in front of him, his mind sinking into a state of silence.
"Whoosh—" A barely perceptible airflow swirled around him.
The three different colored flames—the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and the Sea Core Flame—all floated in front of Xiao Yan, each emitting unique and powerful energy fluctuations, causing the air to distort under the influence of these three extreme flames.
But Xiao Yan's hands did not stop! His gaze turned solemnly to the other side—the black flame that had just torn apart the energy cage, and was now exuding a violent, greedy, and destructive aura, tumbling and twisting uncontrollably in the air!
Black Flame!
Unlike the other three types of strange flames, it did not obey commands. At this moment, it was more like an ancient ferocious beast stimulated by the smell of blood and in a state of extreme frenzy. Sensing Xiao Yan's gaze, the black flame not only did not restrain itself, but instead emitted a low and fierce energy hiss, as if expressing its dissatisfaction and its covetousness for the powerful energy on Ling Fengzhui's body.
"Come here!" Xiao Yan shouted, his soul power transforming into an invisible net, attempting to forcibly drag the Black Flame to his side for fusion. However, the Black Flame fiercely resisted, frantically devouring the soul power binding it, and restlessly trying to pounce on Ling Fengzhui, who was struggling to resist Wei Jiangyuan's harassment and suppress the chaos within his body.
"Roar!" The black flames changed drastically, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, expressing a strong sense of rejection and destructiveness.
Seeing this out-of-control guy, Xiao Yan was furious and couldn't help but scold him in a low voice, "You absorbed so much essence and energy, but in the end, your power didn't increase at all. You're really useless. Get over here right now!"
Seemingly provoked by Xiao Yan's rebuke, or perhaps tempted by the rich "food" aura emanating from Ling Fengzhui, Hei Yan let out an even more frenzied roar, and the pitch-black flames suddenly surged, actually attempting to devour Xiao Yan's soul power in the process of resisting!
However, Xiao Yan already had a way to deal with the Black Flame. He activated the Burning Flame Technique! The Fire Lotus Fusion was meant to use the power of the Burning Flame Technique to fuse all the raging flames together. When the Black Flame encountered the Burning Flame Technique, it was like a mouse encountering a cat!
Immediate results!
The black flames, which were struggling and fighting back fiercely, were immediately enveloped by the aura of the Burning Technique. It was as if they had been struck by an invisible heavy hammer, and they suddenly stopped. The surging black flame waves seemed to be frozen, and their shape was stiffened!
The three-colored flames and the black flames were finally forcibly gathered in one place. But the conflict between their powers immediately became apparent!
A terrifying repulsive force suddenly erupted!
Fortunately, Xiao Yan already had experience. His ten fingers flew, so fast that afterimages appeared. He spread his soul power to surround the strange fire, and then began to sort out every conflict under the fusion of the four flames.
Sweat still beaded on Xiao Yan's forehead, but it was quickly evaporated by the intense heat.
The combined power of four flames far surpasses that of a typical three-colored fire lotus. Fortunately, with Wei Jiangyuan helping him temporarily resist Ling Fengzhui, Xiao Yan's fusion of the fire lotus this time is much easier.
"Condense!" Xiao Yan squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth, his voice filled with pain and an undeniable resolve. He poured all his mental and spiritual power into the core of the four-colored flames without reservation.
At the intersection of these four elements, the turbulent energy flow formed the rudiments of a destructive storm.
Finally, with Xiao Yan's increasingly skillful technique, a fire lotus formed by the fusion of the four great flames appeared in his hand. The edges of the lotus body emitted jagged energy ripples, and the scorching air waves distorted space into transparent folds. However, as its master, Xiao Yan knew that the power of this four-colored fire lotus was significantly different from that of the five-colored fire lotus.
Looking up, Xiao Yan saw that Ling Fengzhui had already enhanced his power during the time he had fused with the Fire Lotus, truly solidifying his strength as a half-saint. That powerful pressure was no weaker than Xuan Leizi's at his peak, and it carried an even more ferocious and savage killing intent born from pain and the impact on his soul!
Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine. He had to admit that Ling Fengzhui was far superior to ordinary members of the Spirit Clan in terms of temperament, will, and strength. He was a formidable and somewhat admirable opponent who had been honed in blood and fire!
On the other side, Wei Jiangyuan was also constantly entangled with Ling Fengzhui using his Heavenly Rank movement techniques. However, the process was extremely difficult. Fortunately, thanks to his diverse methods, he avoided a direct confrontation with Ling Fengzhui. Blood continuously flowed from the horrific wound on his right shoulder, staining his afterimages red. Clearly, he was enduring immense pain to buy Xiao Yan this precious opportunity to gather strength!
Feeling the flames rippled continuously emanating from Xiao Yan's palm, Wei Jiangyuan finally managed a relieved, almost exhausted smile.
"Finally...finally it's over!" His voice was hoarse with relief and intense complaint. Without hesitation, he took a deep breath and his body shot away as if propelled by a tremendous force, retreating rapidly in a direction far away from Xiao Yan and Ling Fengzhui! His speed was even faster than during their previous entanglement—the scene of the Five-Colored Fire Lotus destroying the world last time was too unforgettable, and he didn't want to experience another close-range impact!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan knew that the way to break the deadlock was in his own hands. After all, the Fire Lotus had always been his biggest trump card, and in the current situation, if he and Wei Jiangyuan wanted to win against Ling Fengzhui, the Fire Lotus was probably the best way.
Xiao Yan noticed that Wei Jiangyuan had quickly retreated after seeing the fire lotus in his hand, and all his worries disappeared.
"Go!" Xiao Yan thrust his right hand, which was holding up the Fire Lotus, forward with a sudden burst of energy!
