BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

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?!

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had only heard about Heavenly Flames and how terrifying and mysterious they were, but they had never witnessed their true power. Today, when the Nihility Devouring Flame swept across and turned everything into nothingness, they were greatly shocked!

This was the might of a Heavenly Flame!

It was only now that they truly realized how terrifying Heavenly Flames could be!

Xiao Yan simply smiled without offering much explanation. Some things were better left unsaid.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, was Qing Lin captured by the Mo Clan from Yan City?" Xiao Yan directly returned to the main topic.

The jade itself is innocent, but the person who possesses it is guilty. That's why when he first opened the storage ring, he didn't reveal its existence to anyone, not even a single Dou Technique or Qi Method.

He hadn't even mentioned it to his two brothers and father, fearing that something like this would happen.

He just hadn't expected that Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would still be discovered and bring about such a calamity.

After Xiao Ding and Xiao Li explained the situation, Xiao Yan finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Two days ago... they've probably already returned to Yan City by now. It's too late to intercept them."

"The Mo Clan's Great Elder Mo Cheng from Yan City... To be able to defeat the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent and capture Qing Lin, his strength must be at least at the intermediate- star Dou Spirit... And it involves the Misty Cloud Sect as well."

Mo Cheng was notorious not only for his ruthlessness, but also for the fact that he had once been a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. Eight years ago, he was among those vying to be Yun Yun's disciple, though she ultimately chose Nalan Yanran.

The Mo Clan paid a large sum of money to the Misty Cloud Sect every year. Their relationship was more like that of a vassal clan, paying protection fees to the Misty Cloud Sect annually in exchange for their protection.

In truth, Xiao Yan's relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect was a bit complicated, to say the least. Sect Leader Yun Yun was on one hand, and Nalan Yanran was on the other.

Xiao Yan still owed Yun Yun a favor, and the relationship between the two was quite ambiguous. Not only had he seen her naked, he had even bitten her. As for Nalan Yanran, their engagement hadn't been officially broken off yet. Nominally, he was still the fiancé of the Misty Cloud Sect's Little Sect Leader.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, leave Qing Lin's matter to me."

"Third Brother, the Mo Clan is the overlord of Yan City. Our mercenary company will go with you!" Xiao Li said seriously.

Xiao Yan looked at his two older brothers and shook his head. "Second Brother, Yan City is not our territory after all. Bringing too many people will only complicate things. Don't worry, I won't be going to Yan City alone. I have a helper."

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."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

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."
