Battle Through the Heavens: I had no intention of getting involved, but a yandere beauty stuck to my

"Ten Thousand Serpents Devouring Formation".

The old man once again activated his poisonous fighting spirit, forming a serpentine circle of poisonous gas around him, which flew towards Xiao Miao's side.

Xiao Miao remained calm despite the approaching poisonous gas, covering it with his Xuanhuang Flame. No matter how fierce the gas was, it was only an inch away from him.

"How is this possible? What's the origin of these flames?"

The old man looked incredulous. He had used all his strength in this formation, but he was helpless against the person in front of him. It was as if the flames were the bane of his clan.

Suddenly, he remembered that there was a kind of flame in this world.

Once the strange fire is unleashed, all other fires submit.

Could it be that the flame in the man's hand is the one that my queen has been desperately seeking to break through with inexplicable fire in recent years? If I could subdue this man and hand him over to my queen, I would surely be greatly rewarded.

Thinking of this, the old man felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Xiao Miao noticed the change in the old man's eyes and couldn't help but feel a chill. Was this old man up to something disgusting?

Instead of taking the initiative to defend, they launched a counterattack.

"Mysterious Ice Soul".

As Xiao Miao circulated his battle qi, an extremely cold battle qi spread throughout the arena.

The gloomy old man continuously emitted poisonous fighting energy towards them, but it was all frozen upon contact and then fell downwards, forming a series of icy rains. Instead, the snake-man soldiers below suffered the consequences.

This made the old snake-man's already vicious face even more gloomy, and he became uncertain about the strange fire in the man's hand, which he had initially believed to be real.

The first one used ice-attribute battle qi. Although it is a strange fire, it is effective for all cultivators in the world. However, it is already very difficult for ordinary people to subdue it. If it is an element that is incompatible with the element, it is even more difficult, almost equivalent to death.

While fending off Xiao Miao's attacks, the gloomy old man pondered something in his mind.

It seems that the old man is no match for the man, let alone being able to capture him. If things continue like this, he himself will likely be captured by the other side.

Xiao Miao stared blankly at the old man in front of him, revealing a slight opening in the instant he blocked the attack.

"A good opportunity, Xuanbing Soul."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Miao immediately condensed the Xuanbing Soul in his hand and threw it at the old man Qi Chao.

On the other hand, the old snake-man, watching the relentless onslaught of ice spirits, thought to himself:

"We're doomed, there's no escaping it."

"Serpent Flame Slash".

Just then, a fierce shout arrived as expected, followed by a serpentine stream of liquid gas.

"boom."

It collided with Xiao Miao's Xuanbing Breaking Blade, causing an explosion.

Nevertheless, some of the small ice blades from the explosions still managed to hit the old snake-man.

However, he was now extremely grateful. If he had been hit by that huge ice blade, he would probably have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died. Now he had only suffered minor injuries.

The old snake-man also recognized the snake-shaped liquid.

The newcomer was none other than Flame Thorn, one of the eight leaders of the Snake-Man tribe.

Compared to the old man before him, this new snake-man was much more robust, with flames floating around him. However, in Xiao Miao's eyes, these were just ordinary flames. For Xiao Miao, who possessed the Xuanhuang Rock, the arrival of this person was of no consequence.

"Yin Shi, it's only been a short time since we last met, how come you're in such a sorry state, beaten up like this by this human? You've really gotten old."

The old snake-man who had been opposing Xiao Miao was Yin Shi, one of the leaders of the eight snake-man tribes.

"Don't underestimate this person. His methods are not simple. He also has a kind of flame that my attacks are completely ineffective against."

At this moment, Yin Shi felt a little aggrieved as he listened to Yan Ci's taunts, but he was more grateful. Although the eight leaders of the Snake People were not on good terms with each other, they all knew the difficulties of their survival, so they were united against the powerful enemy.

Yan Ci, who was standing to the side, was surprised to hear Yin Shi's reply without his usual sarcastic retort. He then spoke again.

"Flames? So what? This is the beast fire of a fifth-tier magical beast hunted by the Queen. You just watch from the side and see how I take it down."

I need votes. There's still a long way to go before it's officially released, and an eternity before I can even make a living.

Chapter 23 Gathering

The two openly conversed in front of Xiao Miao, who responded with a disdainful smile.

After sparring with the old man, Xiao Miao realized that the Xuanhuang Flame in his hand was the natural counter to the Snake-People race.

Moreover, he had many trump cards in his bloodline, and if all else failed, he still had the flute as a powerful weapon, so he had no fear at all. Since that was the case, Xiao Miao planned to use the two people in front of him to hone his combat skills.

Although Yanci verbally belittled it to the point of being worthless, he was already on guard in his heart. Someone who could suppress the Yin World to such an extent was definitely not an ordinary person.

If he hadn't arrived in time, Yin Shi would probably have been destroyed.

The thought that their snake-people tribe almost lost a Dou Wang level expert made them realize that the Jia Ma Empire might once again suppress the snake-people's territory.

"Flame Serpent Break".

Xiao Miao watched as the flames transformed into a snake and attacked forward, circulating his fighting spirit in his hands.

A shield formed of icy battle aura stood before them, and as the fire snakes collided, bursts of scorching mist rose into the air.

Looking at Xiao Miao, who had blocked his snake flames, Yan Ci frowned. Although this move was easy to dodge, it was extremely powerful.

Unexpectedly, the human man in front of him was able to easily withstand his snake flames simply by using his battle aura to form a shield.

Seeing Xiao Miao standing motionless in the air while Yin Shi beside him wore a smile, Yan Ci felt a surge of anger.

Years of working together had taught him that this old guy was secretly laughing at him, spouting endless rhetoric while his actual abilities were lacking.

Immediately afterward, Yan Ci increased his battle qi output, and the already enormous fire serpent instantly doubled in size, attacking Xiao Miao.

Xiao Miao watched the scene unfold before him calmly, without the slightest panic. As the fire serpent drew closer, Xiao Miao slowly extended his left hand and summoned the Xuanhuang Flame.

As the Xuanhuang Flame in his hand rose and fell, the giant fire serpent that had been approaching Xiao Miao instantly calmed down, adopting a posture of submission.

Seeing this, Yan Ci was greatly alarmed and wondered what was going on.

Despite my constant control, the flames that once surrounded me refused to obey my commands and submitted to me.

At this moment, Yan Ci panicked. Eighty percent of his strength was related to fire. If the other party had the ability to control his fire, then his previous provocative actions were no different from those of a clown.

"Damn humans, if you're so capable, why don't you stop controlling my flames? We've had a fair fight before."

Looking at the burly snake-man in front of him, who lacked confidence but was obsessed with saving face, Xiao Miao couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Already feeling ashamed and indignant at Xiao Miao's sneer, she glanced at Yin Shi, whose smile was even more pronounced, and immediately concluded that he was mocking her. She was filled with anger and forgot her own cold words earlier.

"You old codger, you're happy to see me get the short end of the stick? If I hadn't come to your aid, you'd be dead by now."

Seeing Yan Ci so vulnerable, Yin Shi couldn't deny that he felt much better.

However, the reason for his even wider smile was not this. Although this was partly within his calculations, the main reason was that he was now completely certain that the strange fire in Xiao Miao's hand was indeed the one he was looking for.

Well, you know, their queen has been collecting information about strange fires for years, but she hasn't had much success yet. But now, the human man from the other side has delivered himself right to their doorstep.

Having made up his mind, he then said to Yan Ci beside him:

"If I'm not mistaken, the raging flames on that person's body should be a strange fire. Otherwise, even if it were a sixth-order beast fire, it wouldn't have made your snake flames so submissive."

Xiao Miao listened to the snake-man elder's words and his heart stirred slightly. But then he thought, so what if he can see through it? He still can't beat me.

"So that's how it is. Damn, wait a minute, you old bastard, you were playing tricks on me, you were just using me as a test subject, weren't you?"

Yan Ci, who was standing to the side, first pondered, then suddenly realized what was happening, and then was stunned for a moment before quickly coming to his senses.

"I was going to warn you, but I didn't expect you to be so confident. Watch how I take down this kid in front of me."

The old man beside him spoke in a sarcastic tone, while Yan Ci's already flushed face turned even redder.

"Heh, so what? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. So what if it's a strange fire? I'm afraid the two of us combined can't take it down."

Yan Ci, hearing Yin Shi's strange and sarcastic tone, couldn't help but retort with a shout.

Xiao Miao, watching the two argue, wasn't going to wait for them to finish arguing and then continue fighting like in a turn-based game.

They had already made their escape before he could even react, and Yan Ci, seeing this, couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Look what you're doing, you old codger! You've let them all escape."

Yin Shi glanced sideways at Yan Ci, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, before slowly speaking.

"You really think I, an old man, have the mind to argue with you? I was just stalling for time. When you went upstairs, I already notified the others to come over. They should be here by now. Look, isn't that it?"

Yin Shi knew that the two were no match for him, and had secretly called for reinforcements long before Yan Ci started fighting him.

"Let's chase after him and attack from both sides. This time, he won't be able to escape."

Since it was dispatched using a secret method of the snake clan, Xiao Miao naturally did not notice.

Xiao Miao continued flying outwards, and seeing that he could barely see the snake-man anymore, he couldn't help but relax.

Suddenly, six figures appeared in front of them.

Xiao Miao's expression also darkened beneath his mask, for the six figures before him all had snake tails at the bottom.

Another powerful member of the snake-people race.

"Friend, are you leaving without saying goodbye?"

A snake-woman with a charming appearance and a hot figure spoke softly. Without a doubt, this must be Yue Mei, the leader of the snake-women.
