Chapter 92 : . Second Seal Destroys the Azure Sky
A deathly silence fell over the entire scene.
The ashes drifted away with the wind, finally vanishing without a trace.
The silver light gradually receded, revealing the figure within. Upon seeing this person's face, everyone present was stunned.
"Xiao Han?" Su Qian couldn't hide his shock, his voice tinged with hesitation, as if unsure.
Xiao Han raised her eyes and glanced at him indifferently. When those silver eyes, seemingly containing supreme mysteries, looked over, Su Qian's face turned pale.
The feeling was as if being stared at by some unfathomable, absolutely untouchable behemoth, making one feel as if plunged into an abyss.
"Elder Su, it's been a long time." The voice that rang out still carried its characteristic icy quality, but the only difference was that it now lacked even the most basic emotions a human should possess.
Although Xiao Han had always been cold, her words and actions carrying a chill, it had never been to this extent. Su Qian felt that he wasn't conversing with a living person, but with some mysterious consciousness.
A consciousness that didn't understand what emotions were.
This realization made Su Qian break out in a cold sweat. He wasn't entirely sure if the person standing before him was truly Xiao Han.
Or perhaps just a shell occupied by something else.
Xiao Han didn't care about Su Qian's thoughts. Her cold gaze swept over the intruders present, finally resting on Han Feng in the center.
Being stared at by Xiao Han in this manner, Han Feng felt an inexplicable fear arise. But upon seeing the Fallen Heart Flame surrounding her, that fear was suppressed by greed.
However, the unfathomable woman before him, like a pool of dead, still water, also made him wary. Thus, he still cupped his hands and tried his best to appear friendly: "May I ask who this young lady is..."
Han Feng was good-looking, with the gentle appearance of a refined young gentleman. Combined with his status as a high-grade alchemist, this had always served him well in interactions with women. Unfortunately, the one he faced this time was no ordinary woman; in fact, one could say she was no ordinary person at all.
Xiao Han's cold gaze swept over him. She could see a ball of sea-blue flame quietly flickering within his body. As if sensing Xiao Han's gaze, that flame trembled and tried to shrink itself, afraid of incurring her displeasure.
Sea Heart Flame.
The moment she saw the flame, Xiao Han knew what it was.
Seeing that Xiao Han didn't respond to him, the proud Han Feng's face showed a hint of gloom, but it quickly passed. After all, although they were both disciples of Yao Lao, his cultivation and facade were incomparably better than Xiao Yan's.
"Since this young lady is unwilling to reveal her identity, Han Feng won't insist." Han Feng smiled, deliberately emphasizing his name, seemingly wanting to remind Xiao Han of his status, as his name was a deterrent throughout the Black Corner Region. "If Han Feng hasn't mistaken, this young lady should be of the lightning attribute? If so, then this Fallen Heart Flame probably isn't of much use to you. Would you consider letting Han Feng have it? Naturally, I would provide appropriate compensation."
Hearing this, Su Qian and the others became anxious. Su Qian knew Xiao Han's strength; even if she hadn't progressed in these four years, she was still a high-level Dou Venerate. If she really decided to hand over the Fallen Heart Flame to Han Feng, they certainly couldn't stop her.
Su Qian knew that Xiao Han wouldn't hand it over, but this person who might or might not be Xiao Han was unpredictable.
Xiao Han finally shifted her attention from that pitifully weak flame to Han Feng: "Han Feng?"
Han Feng revealed a confident smile, but in the next moment, that smile froze on his face.
"That ungrateful scum who betrayed his master?"
Xiao Han's voice wasn't loud, just at a normal volume, but given that most of the people around were Dou Emperor or above, they naturally heard every word. They immediately looked at Han Feng, whose face had darkened, with surprise.
It was well known that Han Feng's master was the renowned Medicine Venerable, the most formidable alchemist they knew of. When they learned of Medicine Venerable's passing, they had lamented for a long time. Although Han Feng was also a high-level alchemist, he was still far inferior to Medicine Venerable.
In fact, when Medicine Venerable passed away, many had suspected Han Feng of foul play, as many knew Han Feng's true nature—a treacherous person who hid daggers behind his smile. But most people hadn't spoken up; they saw no need to offend another alchemist for the sake of one who had already died.
Who would have thought that someone would directly call it out today?
When Xiao Han said this, Han Feng could no longer maintain his expression. With a dark face, he said through gritted teeth: "Young lady, if you're unwilling to hand over the Heterogeneous Flame, why make such a serious accusation against me?"
Though he said this, Han Feng had already harbored murderous intent. The woman before him seemed able to see through everything. When those silver eyes swept over him, Han Feng felt as if all his inner darkness had been exposed.
Xiao Han moved her hand slightly, and blood-red lightning silently crept up.
"Since this young lady is unwilling to hand over the Heterogeneous Flame and even insults me, don't blame me for being impolite." Han Feng suddenly shouted sternly: "Gold and Silver Elders, help me kill this woman. After it's done, I can double the previously agreed compensation!"
Hearing this, the Silver-robed Elder laughed heartily: "Han Feng, you're quite generous!"
The Gold-robed Elder said nothing, but from his suddenly changed aura, it was clear he too had murderous intent towards Xiao Han.
How tempting must the doubled compensation from a high-level alchemist be?
"Xiao Han, you..." Su Qian hesitantly spoke up, wanting to ask if she needed help.
Before confirming whether this person was truly Xiao Han, Su Qian wouldn't easily make the decision to abandon her.
Xiao Han was a hero of Jia Nan Academy.
"Elder Su, please step back."
Xiao Han only said this calmly, without turning her head.
Su Qian considered for a moment, then decided to follow Xiao Han's words, waving his hand to signal the Jia Nan Academy elders and instructors to retreat.
"Elder Su, isn't this the student who was swallowed by the Fallen Heart Flame four years ago? Are we letting her face the Gold and Silver Elders and that group from Black Corner Region alone?" An elder asked worriedly. How much could a student grow in four years, even with great opportunities? How could she possibly face so many Dou Emperors alone?
Su Qian shook his head and said: "Xiao Han is no ordinary student... Well, let's watch for now, but be ready to fight at any moment."
Seeing that Su Qian and the others had retreated sufficiently, Xiao Han took two steps forward.
"Walking on air?"
Not seeing any Dou Qi wings behind Xiao Han, the Gold and Silver Elders' expressions changed slightly: "You're a Dou Ancestor?"
The Gold-robed Elder said: "You don't look very old, yet you've cultivated to Dou Ancestor. You must have encountered some extraordinary opportunities. Cultivation is not easy. If you're sensible, hand over the Heterogeneous Flame willingly. Otherwise, don't blame us for cutting off your path of cultivation!"
Although the Gold and Silver Elders were only at the peak of Dou Emperor, their cultivation methods were strange. If they fought together, even a low-level Dou Ancestor would be no match for them. The Gold-robed Elder thought that given Xiao Han's age, newly entering Dou Ancestor must be her limit, so he wasn't afraid. He said those words only because a Dou Ancestor was still a Dou Ancestor, not easy to deal with.
Xiao Han, however, seemed not to have heard. She calmly said to Han Feng, who was protected by the crowd: "If that's the case, then today, I shall clean house for your master."
As her words fell, the Black Corner Region crowd and the Gold and Silver Elders all changed expression: "Impudent child, don't be arrogant!"
"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame us for being impolite!" the Silver-robed Elder raged, "Brother, let's go!"
The Gold-robed Elder also snorted heavily, full of anger.
Faced with the Gold and Silver Elders' attack, Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged. She raised her right hand, and a fierce hurricane instantly rose!
The blood-red tribulation lightning became active, circling around its master. A terrifying energy fluctuation quietly emerged, and the air became oppressive.
Xiao Han's raised right hand slowly moved downward. The movement was slow, but the moment she moved, everyone felt as if the sky had fallen.
A heavy pressure bore down, the terrifying energy causing heaven and earth to lose color. Space began to distort violently, the air letting out despairing wails, as if the entire world was trembling.
The Gold and Silver Elders' expressions changed drastically. This was not a display a low-level Dou Ancestor could produce! No, one could even say that not even a Dou Venerate could be this terrifying!
Could it be that the person before them... was a Dou Saint?!
Impossible! This woman was only in her twenties, how could there be such a young Dou Saint?!
Xiao Han's hand suddenly pressed down. At the moment of pressing down, she heard the long-absent familiar mechanical voice in her mind.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to nine-star Dou Saint, reaching the realm of "Following the Dao of Heaven".]
[Congratulations to the host for awakening Chaos Power, touching the edge of the Chaos realm.]
Xiao Han's gaze was cold as she looked at the enemies before her, without a trace of warmth.
"Heavenly Might Seal: Second Seal Destroys the Azure Sky."
