Chapter 1100

"Bodhi Heart!"

"And just then, upon seeing that emerald‑green 'heart,' the many strong experts all let out shocked cries."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"However, just as many people were in shock, those with quick reactions immediately shot forward, their eyes burning as they rushed straight toward the Bodhi Heart in the sky."

"Even those who were slower to run immediately unleashed their fighting techniques without hesitation, attacking the person just ahead of them."

"The Manghuang Ancient Realm, which had finally obtained a moment of peace, instantly became chaotic again with the appearance of this Bodhi Heart."

"Over a hundred experts who had endured various hardships and finally caught sight of the Bodhi Heart now lost their minds at this moment, wildly bombarding each other."

"After all, faced with the opportunity to become a sage, even blood brothers grew distant at this moment."

"Xiao Yan gege, these people can make it deep into the Manghuang Ancient Realm and safely pass the beast tide ahead; their strength is certainly not weak. This time, we probably won't easily obtain the Bodhi Heart."

"While speaking, Gu Xun'er did not forget to glance at the other ancient clans far off that had not yet acted."

"Hearing that, Xiao Yan also furrowed his brows, finding the situation somewhat tricky."

"After all, even if he were stupid, he knows that whoever goes for that Bodhi Heart right now will instantly become the target of everyone's attacks."

"And he certainly does not doubt that this Bodhi Heart, which can help one instantly become a sage, lacks such allure."

"Haha, the Bodhi Heart is mine!"

"And just as Xiao Yan and the others found the situation tricky, a strong expert whose strength had reached two‑star Dou Zun successfully approached that emerald‑green 'heart' in the sky."

"Frost‑Cold Snow Blade!"

"Heaven‑Burning Ghost Slay!"

"Thunderfall Fist!"

"."

"However, the moment that person neared the Bodhi Heart, over a dozen immensely powerful fighting techniques shot forth at extreme speed."

"Boom!"

"Before that person could react, a multitude of fighting techniques erupted instantly, blasting him to smithereens, not even leaving ash."

"And after killing that person, those behind him began repeating the same action."

"Everyone wants to obtain that Bodhi Heart, but whoever dares to approach it will be attacked by the crowd."

"Thus, after over a dozen people fell here, the others finally snapped out of their frenzy, then retreated to the sides, warily eyeing one another."

"In an instant, the people who had been fighting each other were now standing on the spot, glaring at one another."

"Hehe, since no one is willing to take the Bodhi Heart now, I'll reluctantly take on the task."

"When the crowd was at an impasse, a light, refreshing laugh suddenly echoed through the sky."

"Immediately afterward, a black shadow flashed across the horizon, and before most people could react, it had already arrived before that emerald‑green 'heart'."

"Then he spread his palm and reached for the Bodhi Heart."

"Hmph, Hun Yu, you're really not putting my ancient clan in your eyes at all."

"Just as he was about to seize the Bodhi Heart, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out across heaven and earth."

"Immediately after, a huge jet‑black energy finger shot down from the sky, viciously striking at Hun Yu."

"Seeing this, the attacker showed no intention of holding back, directly aiming to take Hun Yu's life!"

"The ancient clan's people are truly relentless."

"Sensing the attack from behind, Hun Yu's face changed slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of anger."

"At the same time, he dared not neglect the attack from behind, so he gave up the Bodhi Heart that was almost in his grasp and turned to defend against Gu Xun'er's assault."

"Boom!"

"The next instant, Gu Xun'er's and Hun Yu's fighting techniques collided, and in a flash the space within several hundred zhang around them shattered completely."

"The violent qi tornado swept across the entire sky, forcing nearby cultivators to involuntarily retreat a bit."

"Whoosh!"

"And just as Hun Yu was focusing on defending against Gu Xun'er's technique, a black shadow with a pair of cyan‑red dual wings flashed across the sky at extreme speed."

"As Hun Yu had just barely blocked Gu Xun'er's full‑force attack and his internal qi fluctuated, a swoosh brought it to his rear."

"What?!"

"Feeling the sudden appearance of a figure behind him, Hun Yu's face drastically changed, and he couldn't help but let out a sharp cry."

"At this moment, his previous image of a suave young gentleman was instantly cast aside; he hastily turned his head to look behind him."

"Hun Yu, take my fire lotus!"

"Seeing his gaze turn toward him, that figure let out an angry shout, then flung the six‑colored fire lotus that had somehow appeared in his hand straight at Hun Yu."

"At the same time, the cyan‑red bone wings on his back suddenly flapped, making a swift wide turn as he sprinted full‑speed toward the Bodhi Heart."

"As for that fire lotus brimming with destructive power, it silently traced the short distance to Hun Yu's rear."

"Boom!"

"The next moment, that six‑colored fire lotus exploded violently, the compressed berserk alien fire within it instantly gushed out, forming a hundred‑zhang flame tornado that swept across the surrounding space."

"In the face of such an attack, those other strong experts were also forced to retreat a distance."

"As for the other Soul Clan experts who were preparing to rush to Hun Yu's aid, they too were blocked outside the flame tornado."

"Swoosh!"

"After the flame tornado raged for a while, the figure who had thrown the fire lotus darted out of the sea of fire once more, appearing within everyone's sight."

"Damn it, Xiao Yan, you've got a lot of nerve—if anything happens to Hun Yu, we'll make sure you die without a burial place!"

"Seeing that figure appear, the distant Soul Clan experts immediately pointed at him angrily, shouting in fury."

"At this moment, they were truly jumping mad."

"After all, no matter how you put it, Hun Yu is one of the only two supreme‑grade bloodlines among the younger generation of the Soul Clan."

If something were to happen, these people would still not be able to just get away with it.

"Hehe, how come, you Soul Clan just can't afford to play? Everyone came to the Manghuang Ancient Realm to seek opportunities; how come the treasures of heaven and earth are supposed to belong solely to your Soul Clan?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yan didn't care the slightest bit, and directly retorted.

After all, he now not only has the help of the Ancient Clan, but also has the nine-star peak expert Tian Lei Zi by his side.

As for those Soul Clan people, he simply isn't afraid.

And while speaking, his figure swiftly burst backward, until he stood beside the Ancient Clan and Tian Lei Zi and the others, only then did he stop.

"Xiao Yan, I think you're tired of living!"

However, just as Xiao Yan's words fell, a furious roar immediately rang out across this expanse of sky.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately turned and looked toward that place.

Immediately afterward, everyone discovered that the speaker was none other than the Nine Phoenix of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

However, upon thinking of what Xiao Yan had behind him, they instantly felt amused, secretly thinking there would be a good show to watch.

After all, the Heavenly Phoenix's wings, while excellent material for refining flight fighting skills, can only be used secretly in private when employed.

Otherwise, if discovered, the outcome would be quite miserable.

At the same time, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan members led by the Nine Phoenix also glared at Xiao Yan with furious eyes.

Although the flesh and blood of those wings had been removed, they still recognized that those were the wings of their Heavenly Phoenix Clan members.

Moreover, from the fluctuations emanating from it, their strength in life was still around the eighth rank!

Thinking this through, everyone decided that today they must capture Xiao Yan and bring him to justice.

"Hehe, this thing is just something I happened to obtain at an auction. If there's a problem, go find the auction's organizers; don't show off your might in front of me!"

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yan immediately gave a cold smile and wasn't particularly concerned.

Although he originally did not want to reveal his Phoenix Bone Wings so quickly, but now seeing that this could assist in breaking through to Dou Sheng as a supreme treasure.

Heavenly Phoenix Clan—if we offend them, we offend them.

Anyway, because of Feng Qinger, he's long been displeased with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

"Obtained at the auction, I think you should first go back with us to the clan to investigate clearly before speaking!"

Seeing that person's nonchalant attitude, the Nine Phoenix and others immediately became furious, jumping like thunder.

After all, that person took the bones of their own clansmen, refined them into a flight fighting skill, and now seeing us, they still show such an indifferent expression—let alone these ancient clan people.

Even ordinary clan members can't tolerate this!

"Bang~"

However, just as the two groups were arguing heatedly, a disheveled figure stumbled out from within the fiery dragon vortex raging in the sky.

"Xiao Yan, nice move! I didn't expect you, merely an eight-star Dou Zun, to be able to unleash an instant Heaven-tier fighting skill without this young master noticing at all!"

Coming outside, an ancient Soul Jade pattern appeared on his forehead, also emitting a faint glow; he immediately clenched his teeth and forcefully uttered these words.

"Hehe, I can't compare to you; although I injured you, you actually managed to get hold of the Bodhi Heart."

Regarding the former's words, Xiao Yan did not directly answer; instead, he 'thoughtfully' reminded the others.

While speaking, he also pretended to scan the distant horizon with his gaze.

"What?!"

Upon hearing the three words 'Bodhi Heart', the surrounding people instantly forgot everything else, quickly raising their heads to gaze toward the distant horizon.

After all, while eating melon is fun, nothing compares to the Bodhi Heart that can help one become a saint.

Even the Heavenly Phoenix Clan members likewise couldn't care about anything else, directing their gaze toward the distant horizon.

However, when they turned their gaze that way, they found that the horizon where the Bodhi Heart should have been was already empty and bare.

"The Bodhi Heart is gone!"

Seeing that the Bodhi Heart had indeed vanished, everyone, shocked, quickly withdrew their gaze and looked gloomily at the Soul Jade.

In their eyes was nothing but greed.

Even those Heavenly Phoenix Clan members were the same.

After all, just earlier that fire lotus exploded, and a large amount of soul-restraining strange fire raged, causing them at that time to be unable to sense that space.

Therefore, they currently do not know who stole that Bodhi Heart.

"Are you all idiots?"

Seeing the others' gazes directed at him, the Soul Jade was fortunate not to have been angered to death.

Immediately, he angrily shouted: "Can you guys move your waterlogged brains? This young master just had to deal with Gu Xun'er and was attacked by Xiao Yan; do you have time to grab the Bodhi Heart?"

"Moreover, even if I were to go get it, would that guy Xiao Yan remain so calm?"

As he spoke further, the Soul Jade completely lost its previous gentle and refined demeanor, bluntly cursing: "So, have you lot figured it out? The true culprit who took the Bodhi Heart is Xiao Yan!"

"In that situation just now, only he had the time to take it!"

When saying the last few words, the Soul Jade's tone also became hysterical.

"What this Soul Jade says also makes sense!"

Upon hearing that, the expressions of those other people instantly changed slightly, as they secretly thought.

Immediately afterward, everyone turned their heads, directing their gaze toward where Xiao Yan was.
