1115. Before starting
Before the trade fair officially began, some people noticed that one figure was missing from the Guiyuan Prefecture's team. That figure was Xiao Yan, the Guiyuan Prefecture's current head, who had shone brightly during the Pill Gathering.
However, although they noticed it, no one asked directly, and the reason was simple: everyone knew about the scene where Xiao Yan endured the Black Demon Lightning.
Recklessness comes at a price, and Xiao Yan's absence perfectly matched everyone's guesses.
……
The trade fair is very important to many experts and powerful individuals, and the same is true for the Medicine Clan. Therefore, on this day, the Medicine Clan's Punishment Elder, Yao Wangui, composed himself and headed to the trade fair.
Although he had been defeated by Xiao Yan not long ago and was severely humiliated by the latter, he had chosen to stay at home for some time.
However, the trade fair was still quite important, and he couldn't bear to miss it. After making some necessary preparations, he decided to participate.
However, the thought of seeing Yao Chen and his bastard disciple later filled Yao Wangui with uncontrollable anger.
"This trade fair was originally organized by my Medicine Clan. If it weren't for the clan leader's objections, I would have loved to get rid of Yao Chen and his bastard disciple completely!"
He was just talking to himself, simply to vent his emotions. Unexpectedly, a clear and calm response came from the shadows of his room.
"I didn't expect Elder Yao Wangui to still be so angry. He's truly a man of strong emotions."
The sound came suddenly, catching Yao Wangui completely off guard. He felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and his fighting spirit surged instantly to protect his vital points.
Someone was able to sneak into his residence without a sound, and he, as a four-star Dou Sheng, was completely unaware of it beforehand.
The next moment, Yao Wangui suddenly realized that the voice was somewhat familiar.
"It's you... Xiao Yan!"
Almost as soon as he let out a low growl, the shadow twitched slightly, and a young figure dressed in a black robe slowly stepped out. His face was calm and his eyes were deep. Who else could it be but Xiao Yan?
"I'll let what happened last time go, but this time you dare to trespass on my Medicine Clan's sacred ground! You really have a death wish!"
Yao Wangui spoke forcefully, but alarm bells were ringing in his mind. However, he had no intention of attacking Xiao Yan at this moment. Instead, he spread his soul outwards, trying his best to explore the outside world.
Xiao Yan's sudden appearance here was definitely not good news, and he was already on high alert.
At the same time, because he had been defeated by Xiao Yan last time, he knew that Xiao Yan's strength was not to be feared, but his puppet was powerful and he would definitely not be a match for it in a real fight.
"There's no need to get so agitated. I've only come to borrow something from Elder Yao Wangui."
"What?"
A slight smile played on Xiao Yan's lips as he spoke in a chilling tone: "Your soul!"
"How arrogant this brat is!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge black figure flashed out, its thick, powerful arm slamming down in the direction of Yao Wangui, the powerful shockwave accompanied by an extremely ear-piercing sonic boom.
"That damn thing again!"
Yao Wangui felt extremely frustrated. He had been defeated by this puppet last time, and now he had to face him again. To be honest, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.
He pointed with both hands, and several blazing flames swept out, while a flash of silver light beneath his feet caused him to retreat rapidly behind him. After all, he was in the heart of the Medicine Clan's territory. Once the battle began, it would inevitably be detected by others. As long as he could attract other powerful members of the Medicine Clan, his own safety would be guaranteed. Moreover, Xiao Yan's daring to act so arrogantly was enough to plunge him into an abyss of no return.
"I couldn't do anything with you before, but now that you've gone so far as to act so recklessly, you've given me the perfect excuse!"
Yao Wangui quickly withdrew. He discovered that although Xiao Yan's puppet was incredibly strong and its attacks were extremely swift, it was probably not good at speed. At this point, he had already created some distance between them.
They were only a few feet away from the gate. Beyond the gate lay the corridor frequently used by the Medicine Clan's patrolling disciples. If they could just break through this final distance…
What Yao Wangui didn't notice was that Xiao Yan had been standing calmly in place the whole time, without making a move. But just as he was about to gain his freedom, Xiao Yan finally moved. His soul power surged out forcefully, with only one target—Yao Wangui, who was about to leave his residence and whose mind was slightly wavering!
Heavenly Rank Soul Skill: Soul Sealing and Knowledge Forbidden!
"Oh no!"
Yao Wangui only had time to let out a desperate cry in his heart before everything suddenly went black. All light, sound, and breath seemed to be wiped away instantly by an invisible giant hand; his senses were completely stripped away, plunging him into absolute silence and darkness. He lost all connection with the outside world and could no longer even sense the existence of his own body.
As a four-star Dou Sheng powerhouse of the Yao clan, Yao Wangui possessed relatively strong soul power compared to the opponents Xiao Yan had faced. Therefore, Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry at first, patiently waiting for Yao Wangui to reveal a weakness. In the end, Xiao Yan successfully controlled Yao Wangui by taking advantage of Yao Wangui's unpreparedness!
Although it wasn't a very long time, just a short while, it was enough for the war puppet.
The black, demon-like battle puppet swung its hands out fiercely, slamming them directly onto Yao Wangui's arm, hitting him squarely!
Click!
The war puppet's attacks did not stop at all. Two more punches were thrown out like cannonballs, breaking Yao Wangui's legs again.
At this moment, Yao Wangui had already released Xiao Yan's control over him, and his soul had regained control of his body. However, this control brought him extreme pain. Having lost his limbs, blood gushed from the severed points like a fountain, and this pain immediately flooded his brain.
"Ugh—"
Yao Wangui, who had always lived a life of luxury, had never suffered such treatment before. He immediately cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face, his expression contorted and grotesque from extreme agony.
The war puppet's icy hand gripped his neck tightly, lifting him up like prey. Xiao Yan, suspended in mid-air, slowly approached, finally releasing the pent-up anger in his heart as he looked at the suffering Yao Wangui.
This person is truly despicable. He deliberately framed and sowed discord, bullying the weak and taking advantage of his power. He was solely responsible for Yao Lao's tragedy. Xiao Yan's Achilles' heel is someone close to him; this person has offended Yao Lao, and he absolutely cannot be forgiven!
"Cough...cough cough...Xiao Yan! What...what exactly do you want to do?"
At this moment, Yao Wangui really didn't understand where Xiao Yan got the courage to come to the heart of the Yao Clan and seriously injure him. Was he really not afraid of being held accountable by the Yao Clan afterward?
"Elder Yao Wangui's memory isn't very good either. I told you, I'd borrow your soul for a while!"
