810. What was the outcome of the battle?
When Yao Xingji mentioned his interest in the strange fire, the woman next to him immediately understood.
After all, the eight great Dou Di families have been embroiled in conflict for a long time, and the inherited strange fire cannot be hidden. Generally speaking, there is no opportunity to seize it. Not only is this strange fire difficult to obtain, but once someone does try to take it, it will inevitably cause a major event that could trigger a conflict between the two major powers.
Compared to the risks, the benefits brought by the strange fire seem insignificant.
However, the situation is different now. The Flame Clan is weakened, while both of the Great Strange Flames are here. One of the wielders is entangled with the Soul Clan, while the other is clearly here for revenge. This is truly the best opportunity to obtain a Strange Flame.
After all, the eight great Dou Di families have never been good partners. While major battles are rare, minor skirmishes are common. Now that the Yan Clan is weak, it's the perfect time to make a move.
Even if they didn't attack the Yan Clan, their best target was Xiao Yan. Offending Xiao Yan in the Heavenly Tomb was already extremely risky. Moreover, he possessed four different kinds of strange flames, making him an excellent prey for the Medicine Clan.
Thinking of this, the foxy woman's peach blossom eyes lit up instantly, because she sensed an opportunity, her best chance to obtain the strange fire!
Although she possessed considerable talent, the Medicine Clan only had two types of inherited strange flames. Yao Xingji not only consistently outshone her, but a younger member of the clan was also showing great promise and was threatening to surpass her. Before coming to the Heavenly Tomb, she was troubled by this matter, as there was little regard for personal relationships within the families of Dou Di descendants; resources were always earned through performance.
The woman stretched, and since her clothing barely covered her waist and abdomen, her movement naturally revealed a glimpse of her skin. Her fair, lotus-root-like skin and alluring curves immediately caught Yao Xingji's attention.
The woman then let out a charming chuckle: "Hehe, since Brother Xingji has such thoughts, I will naturally follow suit. So many years have passed, and I still don't possess a suitable strange fire~"
As she spoke, her slender waist swayed slightly, the already tight-fitting and revealing clothing outlining a breathtaking curve, and the exposed fair skin on her waist and abdomen was so tender that it seemed as if you could squeeze water out of it.
The woman wore a small medicine cauldron pendant around her neck, which made a crisp sound when she moved, adding to her alluring charm.
Yao Xingji's gaze was involuntarily drawn to that glimpse of spring for a moment, but he quickly forcibly looked away, a barely perceptible hint of possessiveness and irritation flashing deep in his eyes. This woman, always so elusive.
To ensure the purity of their bloodline, the imperial clan has always strongly encouraged intermarriage. Yao Xingji had expressed his feelings to Yao Ru several times, but she had always remained ambiguous, leaving him feeling like he was scratching an itch through a boot, unable to take that final step. Now, Yao Ru was so bold and proactive in showing her favor upon seeing the strange fire, clearly someone who wouldn't act without seeing a tangible benefit.
Yao Xingji was still quite clear-headed; he knew he couldn't do anything within the Heavenly Tomb. Gaining some benefits from this chaotic battle was what he should be pursuing most.
"Don't worry, Yaoru. You'll get a share of the spoils this time. The most important thing now is to wait for the right opportunity to make our move."
After a brief exchange, the two refocused their attention on the chaotic battle. There were only two of them; clearly, if they wanted to obtain the strange fire, they would have to wait until they engaged in a direct confrontation.
Yao Xingji suddenly sensed something was wrong, and his expression instantly turned serious.
The scene is too chaotic, the commotion is too great, because the shockwaves from the previous Heaven-Rank combat technique haven't subsided yet. Although the power of a Heaven-Rank combat technique is terrifying, so much time has passed, it should have calmed down by now.
Everyone had clearly noticed something, but they were all puzzled, as this strange situation was obviously unrelated to them.
Xiao Yan and the others had already reappeared after the smoke from the collision dissipated, but the earth-shattering tremors still hadn't subsided!
"What's that noise? Is there something underground?" Yao Ru also noticed the abnormality, and her seductive expression instantly disappeared.
has a problem!
The next moment, Yao Xingji saw Lei Dong and Gu Qingyang quickly move away to the sides.
"What?"
Yao Xingji also unleashed his full Heavenly Realm soul power, which spread rapidly like a tidal wave. He sensed that the battle in the sky had indeed completely ended. Although Xiao Yan still possessed a faint aura, the commotion was unrelated to the many people present; the massive disturbance was coming from afar!
Not only did it cause quite a commotion, but it was also incredibly fast!
Almost simultaneously, the top figures in the center of the battlefield—Lei Dong, Gu Qingyang, and Xiao Yan and Huo Xuan, who had just regained their footing—reacted almost without pause.
They suddenly raised their heads, their soul power piercing through the lingering energy dust, and all looked in the same direction.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also felt an extremely strong sense of crisis. This commotion was really too strange.
Lei Dong lowered his arms, which had been crossed over his chest, and fine golden arcs of lightning leaped uncontrollably from his body. Gu Qingyang's figure was also tense, and his battle aura was surging. They sensed something was wrong, but they really didn't know what it was.
At this moment, because of this sudden commotion, the tense atmosphere among everyone stopped. Of course, Xiao Yan was not completely relaxed, fearing that someone might suddenly make a move.
Then, a sound came.
A deep, dense sound, growing louder as it approached, came with overwhelming force. At first, the sound was low and indistinct, like distant thunder, but within just a few breaths, it became incredibly clear!
It was no longer a single sound, but rather a cacophony of over ten million identical sounds converging, a noise that sent chills down your spine.
After a few breaths, everyone saw it!
A terrifying, boundless, snow-white wave was surging in at a visible speed. The wave moved faster than anyone could imagine; one second it was at the edge of sight, the next it had already filled a large area of the field of vision. It wasn't real seawater, but something that made one want to vomit the moment they saw it.
Even Xiao Yan felt disgusted upon seeing such a scene.
It's an insect!
Endless, countless, densely packed, layer upon layer of snow-white fleshy worms!
