Fight to break the sky

Looking at the old man in front of him who was wrapped in a layer of ice with a strange white light, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, spread his hands to the old man a little apologetically, and then turned around to leave.

"Boy, I did underestimate you." Just when Xiao Yan turned around, the old man's slightly tired voice came out from the ice.

After a slight pause in his steps, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the old man who slowly opened his eyes in the ice. He was not panicked because he knew that with the old man's current strength, it was impossible to break through the Yaolao Institute. Barriers set up.

After sighing, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Old sir, I have already told you that I have no intention of antagonizing you, but this thing is really important to me, so..."

"Haha, I didn't expect that after living in seclusion here for more than 20 years, I would be made so embarrassed by your younger generation today. It's really sad." The old man's voice was slightly desolate, but after a moment, the words suddenly changed, Looking through the strange ice, he stared at Xiao Yan outside, and said calmly: "Boy, is this fragment of the map important to you?"

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Hehe." Seeing this, the old man chuckled, his smile a little weird.

Frowning slightly, Xiao Yan ignored him, turned around and walked towards the door.

"After I worked hard to get this fragment of map in the desert, I relied on my many years of map-making experience to perfectly divide it into two parts. One of them is the one you took away earlier. And the other one...hehe." The old man sneered.

His footsteps paused again. Xiao Yan turned his back to the old man and flicked his finger on the ring. The fragmentary picture from before quickly appeared in his palm. Xiao Yan held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he discovered that this The area of ​​the residual map is nearly one-half smaller than what he obtained in the cave in the Warcraft Mountains last time.

Holding the fragment of the picture tightly in his palm, Xiao Yan's face looked a little ugly. After all his efforts, he only managed to get one-half of the fragment, which really made him a little annoyed.

With a light breath, Xiao Yan carefully put the broken picture into the ring, slowly turned around, looked at the old man coldly, and said: "You didn't have to tell this secret, and you also know, I will not take your life, but now you have said it yourself...are you forcing me to kill you?"

"Hehe, kid, don't threaten me with death. I've lived for most of my life, and what troubles have I not seen? When I was running rampant in the Jiama Empire, you weren't even born yet! Am I still afraid of this threat from you? What more? , if I die, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to get another small fragment of the map. Hehe, by then, if that small part of the fragment is missing, even if you put the map together, it will not be possible. I can't find the treasure contained in the map." The old man said disdainfully to Xiao Yan's cold voice that contained murderous intent.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint cold light passed through them. Xiao Yan took a breath, clenched his fists slightly, and said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to do? Since you will tell this secret yourself, why not Is it just to make me so stupid?"

"The little guy's mind is indeed extraordinary. I really wonder which old pervert trained you. Although I dare not say anything now, I am sure that in ten years' time, you may be able to stand at the top of the Gama Empire." Seeing Xiao Yan's plain appearance, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

Without commenting on the old man's high praise, Xiao Yan glanced at him and frowned: "Tell me, how on earth are you willing to hand over another small fragment of the map?"

"Can you release me from the ice? Of course, if you are not afraid of my counterattack." The old man smiled.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the old man. After a moment, he slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again, and slowly walked forward, his palms lightly pressed against the ice, his palms trembled slightly, and a wisp of white flame invaded it, The strange ice layer quickly melted and disintegrated.

"I can lock you once, and I can lock you a second time, so don't play tricks, otherwise next time, it will be your blood that freezes." With a wave of his hand, even a strong spirit fighter could do nothing to break this. The strange ice layer appeared, and Xiao Yan's dark eyes suddenly became deep and vicissitudes of life again.

After breaking through the ice, Xiao Yan tilted his head back slightly. The depth and vicissitudes of life quickly disappeared in his eyes. He slowly lowered his head, looked at the old man who broke through the ice and kept trembling, and said, "Tell me."

"What a terrifying cold flame. If I guessed correctly, the flame you used before should be a magical fire, right?" The old man said with a slight fear, his face turned blue and trembling.

Xiao Yan raised his eyes, noncommittal.

Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, the old man's eyes clearly flashed with joy. However, after a moment, the joy was quickly suppressed, and he muttered: "You also know that my original strength should be that of a Dou Huangqiang. Is that right?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded.

"Then do you know my identity?" the old man asked again.

"I don't know."

Seeing Xiao Yan shaking his head, the old man also shook his head helplessly, but then a touch of pride appeared on his face and he said: "My name is Hai Bodong. Maybe you have never heard of this name, but my other name is , I think you should have heard it.”

"Ice King!"

When the word Ice King came into his ears, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed obviously. His eyes looked strangely at the old man who had been eating turtles in front of him, although he had been huddled in Wutan City before. , but he is still no stranger to this powerful man who once famously conquered the Jia Ma Empire.

The Ice Emperor was one of the top ten powerful men in the previous generation of Jia Ma Empire. He was aloof and arrogant, and was extremely good at ice fighting energy. He once froze an entire city in anger. Among the top ten powerful men of that year, He was one of the few strong warriors to fight against the emperor. Later, he had a decisive battle with the previous leader of Yunlan Sect on the top of Yunlan Mountain. Although he lost in the end, the opponent still had a hard time winning. In the previous Gama Empire and Izumo At a strong men's conference held by the empire, one person fought alone against the opponent, a Dou Huang and a Dou King, without losing, and his performance shocked the entire audience.

After that conference of powerful men, the Ice King gradually disappeared from the sight of countless people. Until now, the name of the Ice King has become a powerful man in the memory of the older generation of the Jiama Empire. , now the top ten powerful men of the younger generation have taken away the glory and glory that once belonged to them.

Xiao Yan never thought that the unattractive old man in front of him would be the Ice Emperor who once caused great headaches for the powerful elites of the Deyun Empire. Such a dramatic result was really a bit shocking.

"Hey, it's a good thing that my reputation hasn't faded away over time. You've actually heard of it..." Looking at Xiao Yan's shocked expression, Hai Bodong smiled slightly proudly.

Taking a slow breath, Xiao Yan sighed: "That's an answer that really surprised me. I didn't expect that the Douhuang warrior from the Dongjiama Empire would actually live in seclusion outside the desert and work as a vendor selling maps. .”

"Then why did you do this? The strength you showed earlier seems to be only about Dou Ling, right?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Haibodong nodded bitterly and sighed: "After participating in the conference of strong men among the empires, I came to the Tagore Desert, and by chance, I got the fragment. However, this attracted the pursuit of Queen Medusa, the king of the snake tribe in the desert. You must know that Queen Medusa’s strength is the top among the fighting emperors. If it weren’t for the snake tribe’s only With such a strong man, they might have already started attacking the human empire."

"In that battle, I was defeated by her without any surprise. Although I took the opportunity to escape afterwards, I was hit by her snake sealing spell. Not only did my body age rapidly, but my strength was also sealed in Dou Ling level." Hai Bodong sighed: "For so many years, I have been hiding here to study the secrets of that fragment of the map, hoping to get something from it that can lift the seal, but this fragment of the map is just a small part of the entire map. Part of it, no matter how experienced I am, there is no way I can crack it.”

"You don't want me to help you break the seal, do you?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Um."

"Uh... you think too highly of me, but I don't have that ability." Xiao Yan shook his head and said with a dry smile, he couldn't afford such a heavy burden.

"In the past few decades, I have obtained a prescription that can break the seal. As long as I refine the elixir mentioned on it, I can regain my strength." Haibodong said solemnly.

"...I think you should go to Alchemy King Furukawa. Compared to refining medicine, there aren't many people in this empire who can compare with him. I'm just a second-grade alchemist." Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders. , said helplessly.

"He can't." Hai Dongbo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The first condition for refining this kind of elixir is that the alchemist must have strange fire... Dan Wang Guhe does not seem to have this thing."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a flash of surprise in his heart. What kind of elixir requires such harsh conditions?

"Originally I wouldn't tell you about the other small fragment of the picture, but... the white flames you displayed at the end made me change my mind."

"As long as you can refine the elixir I need, then I will not only hand over the small fragment of the map to you, but at the same time, I, Ice Emperor Haibodong, also owe you a favor. You should know... a What is the price of the favor of the powerful Dou Huang..." Hai Bodong said solemnly.

Hearing these words, Xiao Yan felt a little moved in his heart and asked softly: "How many grades of elixir do you need?"

"Sixth-grade elixir." Haibodong licked his lips and said with a smile.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan spread his hands helplessly: "Level 6...even if I have strange fire, I am only a level 2 alchemist now. How can I refine elixirs of that level?"

"I believe your strength is not what it seems..." Hai Bodong smiled slightly slyly at Xiao Yan's helplessness.

After sighing, Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment and asked softly in his heart: "Teacher, what do you think?"

"No matter what, we must get the map fragments related to the "Pure Lotus Demon Fire", which will play a vital role in your future evolution of the technique!" Yao Lao said in a deep voice.

"Then what you mean...is to promise him?"

"Well, agree to him first, and the favor of a strong Dou Huang warrior is indeed worth the price."

"But I'm worried that once this old guy regains his strength, he will..." Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said cautiously in his heart.

"Haha, don't worry. As long as I'm here, even if he regains his strength, he won't be able to take back the remaining map. And... when refining the elixir, can't we do something just in case?" Yao Lao said calmly. ’s smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at Hai Bodong who was full of expectations, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you!"
