Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

The sound of the medicine pill hitting the ground was so loud that the entire Pharmacopoeia Square fell into silence. Everyone looked at him in shock, and even Xiao Yan fell silent.

Yao Dan confessed Yao Wangui's crime to all the Yao clan members in order to let everyone understand that the fault was with Yao Wangui, not Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan and Yao Chen's coming to seek revenge was absolutely justified, and the Yao clan was undoubtedly the party in the wrong.

The words after the medicine pill told all the members of the Yao clan that even if the Yao clan was in the wrong, they would never hand over their own family members casually, thus absolutely maintaining the clan members' trust in the Yao clan.

But the price to pay is a bit too heavy.

Xiao Yan looked at the medicine pill with a serious expression, and after a long time he slowly spoke.

“Chief Yaodan, are you sure you want to have a life-and-death fight with this junior?” Xiao Yan’s eyes were stern, and there was a hint of warning in his tone, “You will die.”

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Dan remained calm and just nodded slightly.

"Ok, I know."

From the first moment he saw Xiao Yan, Yao Dan knew that he had no chance of defeating Xiao Yan. Not to mention Xiao Yan's incredible ability to fight above his level as mentioned by Yao Tian, ​​even in terms of his own realm, he was only in the late stage of the seven-star Douluo, while Xiao Yan was already in the middle stage of the eight-star Douluo. The result of a life-and-death duel was already obvious.

However, even though the result is clear, Yao Dan must not retreat, not even a single step.

Because he is the patriarch of the Medicine Clan, he represents the trust of the Medicine Clan. Since he sits in this position, he has the obligation and responsibility to bear the consequences of this matter.

The only way to get the medicine is to use your own life as the price to completely solve this problem.

No one present is a fool, who can not understand the meaning of the medicine pill?
"Chief, you are the pillar of the Medicine Clan. How can you..."

Yao Wanhuo's face revealed anxiety, and he wanted to persuade Yao Dan to give up.

However, before he could finish, Yaodan glanced at him and interrupted him.

"If the Medicine Clan completely collapses without me, then the Medicine Clan itself won't last long."

Yao Dan's words were both a rebuttal and a statement of fact, leaving Yao Wanhuo speechless.

Then Yao Dan looked at Xiao Yan and said softly.

"We should have understood from the moment the Tianhe League rose that the so-called eight ancient clans have slowly become history. Even if they try their best to maintain their existence, they can only linger on for a while." Yao Dan's tone was extremely steady, and his eyes seemed to see through everything. "In the new era opened up by the Tianhe League led by Executor Xiao, there is no place for the eight clans at all."

In response to Yao Dan's words, Xiao Yan just listened quietly without refuting.

Because this is what Xiao Yan thought in his heart, and it is also a fact that will become true sooner or later as the Tianhe Alliance continues to develop.

It’s not that Xiao Yan cannot accept the continued existence of the eight clans, and Xiao Yan has never thought of exterminating the clan, but he absolutely cannot accept the existence of forces outside of order in the world.

Yaodan understood it, even if Xiao Yan didn't say it explicitly, he understood it very well, so he was so proactive in showing goodwill to the Tianhe Alliance.

"If I, as the clan leader, am the necessary sacrifice for the Medicine Clan to enter a new era, then I am willing to die!"

Yaodan's tone was full of determination, and his words also meant that there was no longer any dispute about the matter.

"Take Yao Wangui and leave." Yao Dan waved his hand and looked at Yao Wanhuo, "After I die, you will temporarily take over the position of clan leader and assist young clan leader Yao Tian with all your strength until the moment when the Yao clan completely becomes history."

Yao Wanhuo and Yao Tian looked at Yao Dan, both of them were silent. After a long time, their eyes became moist, and they raised their hands to Yao Dan and bowed their heads in greeting.

"Yes."

"and many more!"

At this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded, and everyone turned their heads and looked at the bound Yao Wangui.

Yao Wangui slowly stood up and looked at Yao Dan with a ferocious expression.

"Clan leader! This matter was originally my fault. I am willing to give up my life to appease the resentment in the hearts of Xiao the Executor and the Medicine Saint!"

Yao Wangui's words were so decisive that everyone could clearly understand that what he said was exactly what he was thinking.

Yes, Yao Wangui abused his power for personal gain and caused the destruction of Yao Chen's family for his own selfish desires.

But at least, he really cares about the survival of the entire medicine clan. If he can exchange his own life for Yao Dan's life, he will not hesitate to die.

Hearing Yao Wangui's heartfelt words, Yao Dan shook his head slightly.

Yao Wangui is indeed very loyal to the Yao clan, and it is precisely because of this loyalty that Yao Dan could not hand him over before.

When it comes down to it, this matter, from beginning to end, cannot be resolved by Yao Wangui's willingness to die.

"Take him away. The life-and-death duel is about to begin."

Yao Dan waved his hand lightly and ordered Yao Wanhuo and Yao Tian to take Yao Wangui away. The two immediately did as they were told, dragging the pale-faced Yao Wangui away and jumping off the Pharmacopoeia Square.

"Senior Yao, please go down and wait for a moment."

Xiao Yan turned to look at Yao Chen and said this gently. Yao Chen nodded slightly and jumped down the square with a nimble figure.

At this moment, only Yao Dan and Xiao Yan were left facing each other in the Pharmacopoeia Square.

Xiao Yan stared at Yao Dan for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh. He stretched his hands in front of him, and gently clenched them. The Infernal Hell Ruler was in his hand, and he swung it sharply to his side, warning Yao Dan for the last time.

"Chief Yaodan, I will not show mercy."

"Since it's a life-and-death duel, this is how it should be." Yao Dan's face was calm, and his fierce fighting spirit fluttered his clothes, dancing gently with the strong wind. "I know I can't beat you, but I will try my best to fight for a chance of survival."

Yao Dan looked stern and said in a stern voice.

"Please ask Executor Xiao to take this battle seriously and put an end to this matter once and for all!"

hum! ! !
The pressure from the late Seven-Star Fighting Saint instantly filled the entire Pharmacopoeia Square. The surrounding sky also changed color with thunder, which made everyone feel terrified.

Just the pressure alone can create a celestial phenomenon that is like the sky falling and the earth collapsing. How terrifying is that? !

But the next moment, another pressure that was even more terrifying than the medicine pill enveloped the Pharmacopoeia Square. The deep fighting spirit spread outward like waves with Xiao Yan as the center, rippling and shaking the earth!

Feeling the momentum of the fight between the two, everyone's faces were horrified, and Yao Wanhuo and Yao Tian's expressions were even uglier than before.

The duel hasn't even started yet, but Yao Dan's momentum has been firmly suppressed by Xiao Yan, without even a hint of it rising!
At this time, Yaodan put two fingers together, lightly pressed against his eyebrows, and shouted in a low voice.

"The Medicine Clan's emblem, show it!"

As Yao Dan finished speaking, a white mark appeared between his eyebrows, and his realm was also raised to the middle stage of the eight-star Dou Sheng, on par with Xiao Yan!

There was a dazzling glow in Yao Dan's eyes, and his old face looked solemn. He extended a hand towards Xiao Yan.

"Executor Xiao, please."

Xiao Yan looked at the medicinal pill quietly for a long time, then slowly raised the Infernal Hell Ruler, with flames flashing in his azure eyes.

"excuse me."

Bang!
The moment the words fell, a thunderous sound resounded throughout the Pharmacopoeia Square, and before the sound rang out, Xiao Yan's figure disappeared from the spot, and in an instant he appeared in front of Yao Dan, his eyes flashing with cold light, and the Infernal Purgatory Ruler in his hand, mixed with a mighty force, smashed towards Yao Dan like a mountain. Boom!!!
With one blow, the entire Pharmacopoeia Square collapsed. The people watching the battle nearby were so frightened by the horrible shock that they trembled with fear and fell to the ground one after another. They all looked at the Pharmacopoeia Square in disbelief, which had completely turned into the abyss.

Above the abyss, Xiao Yan stepped on the void and slowly pulled back the Infernal Hell Ruler. He raised his head slightly and looked at the medicinal pill that had already flashed into the sky, with an indelible fear in the latter's eyes.

Yaodan could see that this attack was not a fighting skill, but just the simplest way of attaching fighting spirit to the weapon and swinging it out. However, it was really shocking that it could cause such horrific destructive power!

Yaodan had a plan in mind. He knew that even if he could be at the same level as Xiao Yan after using his clan emblem, he would most likely not be able to win. This was because Xiao Yan's past record was too horrifying and Yaodan knew he could not cope with it.

However, he had never expected that Xiao Yan's strength was so strong that he didn't even dare to take his ordinary attack!

However, Xiao Yan did not give Yaodan more time to react. He approached again with the Infernal Purgatory Ruler in hand. The heavy ruler was like a condensed mountain, constantly hitting Yaodan's body. Yaodan tried his best to resist left and right, but still could not hide his weakness and fell into an absolute disadvantage.

"Tian Ze Fire Dragon Art!"

Yao Dan did not dare to be careless anymore. He retreated suddenly and put some distance between himself and Xiao Yan. He raised his hands and formed seals in front of him. Pure fire spirit emanated from his body. In just a blink of an eye, it condensed into a giant flaming dragon with a red body behind him. It let out a shrill hiss, flapped its huge dragon wings, and charged towards Xiao Yan.

Tianze Fire Dragon Art, Yaodan's most powerful killer move, can create a fire dragon beast with exactly the same strength as itself. When facing an opponent of the same level, this move will undoubtedly double the opponent's pressure instantly!
Looking at the fire dragon flying towards him, Xiao Yan did not hide nor try to escape. His azure blue eyes were piercing as he spoke softly and leisurely.

"Little demon, I leave it to you."

"understood!"

When the fire dragon was only five meters away from Xiao Yan, a young figure suddenly flashed in front of Xiao Yan, raised his hand and easily blocked the fire dragon.

This scene shocked everyone including Yaodan. The figure curled his mouth in disdain, grabbed the fire dragon's head and swung it wantonly, and finally threw it out with force, throwing it heavily to the ground.

Without the cover of the fire dragon, the figure's full appearance was revealed in front of everyone. His face was neutral and he looked young. He looked like both a handsome boy and a pretty girl. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a very rebellious character.

Where did this child come from?

This question popped up in everyone's mind, but one thing was certain, that is, this child was on Xiao Yan's side.

Yaodan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the child who suddenly appeared in front of him. Then he seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes were suddenly filled with horror.

Outside the venue, Yao Wangui was the first to come to his senses and questioned Xiao Yan loudly.

"Executor Xiao! This matter was caused by me. The clan leader has already challenged you to a life-and-death duel. Why don't you follow the rules and use your numbers to bully the minority?!"

“Huh?” The child raised his eyebrows and glanced unhappily at Yao Wangui who was questioning Xiao Yan, “Who do you think you are? If your eyes are not working well, just pick them out yourself and stop disgusting others!”

"you?!"

Yao Wangui's expression changed again and again, and Yao Dan raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

“Yao Wangui, shut up.” Yao Dan looked at the child and slowly explained for Xiao Yan, “That child is not another person, but Xiao Yan’s Strange Fire.”

Xiao Yan's strange fire???

As soon as Yao Dan said this, a thousand waves of shock were instantly aroused, and everyone looked at the child who looked no more than ten years old in disbelief.

Xiao Yan did not deny it because that was the fact.

This child was none other than the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. After taming him, Xiao Yan merged the essence of the Infinite Dark Heart Flame with him, making the Pure Lotus Demon Fire the true owner of the Infinite Dark Heart Flame. This allowed the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to appear in front of others in an independent form anytime and anywhere. At the same time, he gave it a more intimate name, Little Demon.

When Xiao Yao saw Xiao Yan handing over the Infinite Dark Heart Flame to it so defenselessly, and even giving it the authority to control the strange fire, he felt it was extremely absurd and unreasonable.

It is true that Xiao Yao has already accepted Xiao Yan as his new master, but he never thought that Xiao Yan could trust him so much. His doing so means that he absolutely believes that he will not betray him.

(Humph~ It seems that the nearly ten thousand years of waiting were not in vain.)
Xiao Yao curled her lips. Although there was an unhappy expression on her face, her eyes revealed an emotion and joy that was difficult to conceal.

Trust is the thing that the little demon wants to regain most during these nearly ten thousand years that he has been sealed, just like what he once had with the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

And now, Xiao Yan has undoubtedly done it, absolutely satisfying the desire in Xiao Yao's heart.

"Xiao Yan, leave the dragon to me."

The little demon grinned and chuckled, then suddenly leaped up and stood on the fire dragon. He raised one hand high, with the palm burning with the Infinite Dark Heart Flame, and smashed it down at the fire dragon.

hum! ! !
A pillar of fire rose from the ground to the sky, causing the temperature of the entire medicine world to increase several times in an instant, making people feel hungry and thirsty. The lips of many medicine people cracked due to excessive dryness.

After a while, as the towering pillar of fire dissipated, only the little demon was left standing there, waving his hands indifferently, and the fire dragon had turned into ashes, without a trace left.

Yaodan watched this scene quietly, his eyes filled with indifference, without any ripples.

The fire dragon was created by himself with absolutely pure fire. However, no matter how pure it was, it was still just an ordinary flame. It could not compare with the little demon that had integrated several kinds of strange fire. It did not have any chance of winning at all.

“Chief Yaodan, do you want to continue fighting?” Xiao Yan came to Yaodan at this time, looked at him and said slowly: “If you are willing to admit defeat, I will not kill you.”

After all, Xiao Yan's target from the beginning to the end was Yao Wangui. As for Yao Dan, no matter which angle Xiao Yan looked for it, he had no reason to kill him.

However, when hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Dan shook his head slightly, then raised his eyes and stared at him firmly.

"I challenged you to a life-and-death duel in order to protect the dignity of the Yao Clan. If you admit defeat now because you are sure to lose, not only will you lose your integrity, but all my previous efforts will be in vain."

Yao Dan looked at Xiao Yan with an extremely determined look in his eyes.

"For the sake of the Yao Clan, my death is worthy."

"."

Xiao Yan looked solemn. After a long time, he took a deep breath and his eyes revealed deep respect.

Xiao Yan would never respect someone from the bottom of his heart just because of his strength, but at least the medicinal pill in front of him was indeed worthy of Xiao Yan's respect.

"Junior, I respect your choice."

As he finished speaking, Xiao Yan slowly raised the Infernal Hell Ruler, preparing to give Yao Dan a final, painless blow.

Yaodan also slowly closed his eyes, calmly welcoming the impending death.

Everyone who saw this scene held their breath, sadness in their eyes, but no one spoke, as they were about to witness the death of their patriarch with their own eyes.

When Xiao Yan's attack landed, the matter was completely over.
Bang! ! !
A deafening sound suddenly rang out, as if it was the sound of something shattering, causing Xiao Yan to be stunned. He put down the Infernal Ruler and turned to look at the source of the sound.

Yao Dan, who had already accepted his death, suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look into the distance, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

The pharmaceutical world is broken.

The next moment, thousands of figures suddenly appeared above the Pharmacopoeia Square. Seeing the leader, Xiao Yan’s eyes instantly turned cold.

Because he knew this person.
