Chapter 224: Yun Zhi and Yun Yun!
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't dislike the Four-Leaf Feathered Wings; he simply hated that they were on someone else's back.
"Sigh, the Earth Fire is lost now. My power can only protect you for now in front of a Dou Huang," the old pharmacist sighed slightly. He looked at the Dou Huang of the wind element, whose speed was so fast it nearly matched that of a high-star Dou Huang. Xiao Yan couldn't escape, and even if this wind-type Dou Huang wanted to attack them, Xiao Yan and the old pharmacist, being slower, wouldn't be able to flee and would only be worn down slowly.
"The opponent's speed is too fast. If they really want to kill us, we could be worn down to death. So... we can only rely on the Earth Fire to save our lives," the old pharmacist continued, a slight bitterness rising within him.
They had come so far, only to be caught by the wind-type Dou Huang, who used technology to chase them down with a crushing speed.
"It seems there's no other choice!" Xiao Yan, looking at the Qinglian Earth Fire in his hand, felt an immense sense of unwillingness but ultimately had no choice but to give in.
Xiao Yan lifted the Qinglian Base, intending to release the Qinglian Earth Fire. The base was a precious item; he couldn't just give it away.
However, as if the other side had anticipated his plan, a cold voice sounded, "I don't want to become enemies with you. Please place the Qinglian Base down. The Serpent Clan is already in chaos, and we don't have the time to take the Earth Fire back. I will return the Qinglian Base to you the next time we meet."
"Don't you think this request is a bit too much?" The old pharmacist's voice sounded, "How could we give you the Qinglian Base? What if you use it to hunt us down? Only by releasing the Earth Fire will you be forced to guard it, allowing us to escape safely."
"Then we'll have to see your skills," the black-robed figure said, exposing her white chin, silently observing Xiao Yan, who was also fully covered.
"Hmph! Let's see then!" The old pharmacist snorted coldly. If a real fight broke out, he had a chance to defeat the other, relying on the power of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Of course, that was assuming the opponent made a big mistake.
The tension between the two sides immediately escalated. The black-robed figure sighed lightly, drawing a strange green sword. As Xiao Yan looked at the sword, his eyes narrowed, a vague feeling of familiarity rising within him.
The Qinglian Base had to be taken away; otherwise, she wouldn't have a vessel to contain the Earth Fire unless she discarded one of her storage rings.
Just as she was about to act, a blue light flashed from the distance.
"Bad luck, bad luck. I didn't have the Four-Leaf Cicada Wings before, but now it appears. It's making it so no one can escape." Another black-robed figure, dressed even more excessively and with goggles on, Jiang Lin, appeared rapidly as both sides faced off.
In order to catch up with the black-robed figure with the Four-Leaf Cicada Wings, Jiang Lin even took out the remaining two-winged pieces from his ring, showcasing the complete Six-Leaf Feathered Wings.
When the black-robed figure with the brilliant blue six wings appeared before them, both sides fell into silence.
In the Jia Ma Empire, only one person was known to use Six-Leaf Feathered Wings, and that person was the Fourth-Stage Alchemist, Xiao Yi Xian.
But now, Jiang Lin had hidden his red-golden brilliance, and he seemed strangely unfamiliar.
"Hmm?" Jiang Lin flew to the edge of the wind wall, looking at the two who were glancing at him. He hesitated briefly, then instinctively touched his face, a bit awkwardly saying, "How about... doing me a favor? Let's just call it a day and go our separate ways?"
Jiang Lin activated his "Face Fruit" ability, but the effect was unknown!
Yun Yun, still hidden beneath her black robes, silently watched the mysterious six-winged figure radiating blue water-type Dou Qi. Her eyes carried a dangerous look.
"Eh..." It seemed a little awkward under Yun Yun's gaze. Jiang Lin sighed inwardly. His disguise hadn't lasted long, and it was about to be uncovered. Helpless, he could only say, "How about this?"
Saying this, the blue Dou Qi around him started to dissipate, and a familiar red-golden flame once again rose around him, vaporizing the remaining water-type Dou Qi in the area.
The blue six wings on his back slowly transformed into a dazzling red-golden six-winged structure. In the process, Jiang Lin's aura weakened, from his original Dou Wang state, down to that of a Great Dou Shi.
Yun Yun froze as she watched Jiang Lin perform his "Dou Qi transformation." The familiar red-golden Dou Qi, once it appeared, almost screamed "Xiao Yi Xian" to her, as no one else in the entire Jia Ma Empire could have such a beautiful, radiant, and dazzling red-golden light!
Jiang Lin himself sometimes found it troublesome that his Dou Qi signature was so obvious, making it hard for him to secretly do bad things. But luckily, now that he had developed his "Dou Qi disguise," he could still secretly do bad things!
"How about... we talk?" Jiang Lin looked at the silent Yun Yun, unable to stop himself from scratching his head and saying those words.
Swoosh!
Although Yun Yun did not speak, the surrounding wind wall slowly began to dissipate. Xiao Yan saw this and was about to stop, but the old pharmacist shouted loudly in his mind, "Why are you stopping?! Run! Fool! While they're hesitating, quickly escape!"
"Eh?" Xiao Yan paused and then turned to run. Yun Yun only glanced at him, her inner conflict obvious, but she ultimately turned her gaze back to Jiang Lin.
"Master, does Xiao Yi Xian know the Dou Huang in front of us?" Seeing that the Dou Huang hadn't chased him, Xiao Yan felt slightly relieved.
"How could you sometimes be so stupid?" the old pharmacist said incredulously. "Don't you realize that Jia Ma Empire doesn't have two female Dou Huang of the wind element?"
"Ah? Yun Zhi?" Xiao Yan paused, then smiled wryly. "I didn't expect it to be her."
On the other side, Yun Yun silently watched Xiao Yan's retreating figure, then looked at Jiang Lin, who was now landing and dissipating his red-golden flame. She sighed softly and said, "I've done you a favor, but how should I answer Gu He?"
