Chapter 45: Soul Technique VS Heavenly Flame!

"Li Feiyu? Huh?"

Nalan Yanran was immediately stunned, then looked at Yun Tianming with a strange expression on her face.

Ge Ye also had a speechless expression, looking at how righteous you appeared to be just now, I thought you were really tough, but it turns out you just gave a fake name?

"Li Feiyu??? What?! Could it be that you are the legendary Elder Han Mo!!!"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

Although he hadn't read many books in his previous life, he had read plenty of web novels. Did they really think he hadn't read "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality"?

Xiao Xun'er's expression froze for a moment before she said expressionlessly, "A man who, unlike his amiable appearance, is filled with malice inside."

Fortunately, she had asked Ling Ying to investigate the information of the people from Misty Cloud Sect in advance; otherwise, she might have been deceived by the other party's serious self-claim as "Lix Feiyu."

"Hehe~ It's mutual."

Yun Tianming chuckled lightly, without further explanation.

"Shut up! How can you, a liar through and through, be compared with Xun'er?"

Xiao Yan immediately became angry. He could tolerate any insult to himself, but he would not allow anyone to say half a bad word about Xun'er. Moreover, in his eyes, Xun'er was a girl as pure and consistent inside and out, a pure moonlight in his heart!

Xiao Xun'er's eyes flickered, her originally cold face taking on a subtly different expression. She decisively skipped over the entire topic and said coldly, "Let's end this facile conversation here. Yun Tianming, if this is the extent of your strength, you might as well obediently accept this letter of divorce!"

After speaking, Xiao Xun'er's narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and a surge of immense Soul Power burst forth from her, causing the temperature around her to suddenly rise.

"It's so hot!"

"I didn't sense any fluctuations of Dou Qi."

"What's going on here?"

Everyone in the hall was clueless and at a loss. The confrontation on the level of the soul was beyond their understanding.

Xiao Yan only felt a dryness in his mouth and throat, as if he could see faint golden flames appearing before his eyes. This was not an illusion. As someone who had crossed over from another world, merging the souls of two lifetimes, his soul was naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. According to the classification of the Soul Realm, Xiao Yan was also at the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm.

"Xun'er, is this the power you've been hiding?"

Xiao Yan's attention was entirely focused on Xiao Xun'er, not noticing the mysterious, dim light flickering from the Spatial Ring in his hand.

Yun Tianming, who bore the brunt of it, could directly feel the scorching golden flames within Xiao Xun'er's Soul Power. This burning sensation on his soul made his face turn red and emit steaming heat!

The golden flames contained within Xiao Xun'er's Soul Power were indeed a Special Fire!

Ranked fourth on the Strange Fire List, the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame!

However, Yun Tianming guessed that what Xiao Xun'er was currently using was likely only a spark of the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame; otherwise, not to mention his Soul Power, his flesh and blood would probably be burned to ashes in an instant!

Of course, even just a spark of the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame is still a Strange Fire, possessing the power to alter the natural order. Coupled with Xiao Xun'er's late-stage Mortal Realm Soul Power, a full-force strike could likely severely injure a Dou Emperor powerhouse!

"Senior Brother Tianming! Don't!"

"I'll accept the divorce letter!"

Nalan Yanran looked on with a pained expression as Yun Tianming, his body hot and emitting blue smoke as if he was about to catch fire. Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth; she would rather accept this humiliating divorce letter than see him get hurt.

"No!"

"This matter concerns the dignity of Misty Cloud Sect, for the Sect Master and for Junior Sister Yanran."

"I will not back down!"

Yun Tianming shouted, his hands beginning to form several obscure and complex hand seals.

"This is..."

Xiao Xun'er's pupils suddenly contracted, feeling five invisible soul imprints rushing towards her!

"Soul Technique: Divine Finger!"

Yun Tianming unleashed the Soul Technique he had secretly practiced for a long time. Although he had only learned a little of it so far, the lethality of the Soul Technique would definitely not disappoint him!

Xiao Xun'er's complexion changed drastically, her hands quickly came together, directly summoning the sub-flame of the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame from within her body, calling forth a physical golden flame.

"What kind of terrifying flame is this?!"

The golden light reflected the expressions of fear on everyone's faces, including Xiao Zhan and Ge Ye. At this moment, they shared a tacit understanding that with their Dou Grandmaster strength, touching this golden flame would mean instant annihilation.

However, what was puzzling was that after Xiao Xun'er summoned such a terrifying golden flame, she did not attack. Instead, she gathered the flames in front of her to form a barrier, making a defensive move.

Yun Tianming's Soul Technique strike was silent.

When the soul imprints hit the golden flame, they immediately ignited the fire energy within the special flame!

Caught in the middle of the contest of Soul Power between the two, the divorce letter suspended in mid-air was instantly turned to ashes and scattered.

"Boom!"

Xiao Xun'er, being close to the burst of energy, involuntarily staggered three steps backward due to the shock.

Yun Tianming was also impacted by the strange fire, stepping back once.

In this round of Soul Power confrontation, Yun Tianming was clearly superior to Xiao Xun'er!

"Wow!"

The clash between the Soul Technique and the strange fire unleashed surges of heat waves spreading rapidly in all directions, engulfing the entire Xiao Family's hall. Everyone showed signs of panic, fearing that if they were swept by this terrifying golden flame, they would be severely burned even if not killed!

"Not good!"

Xiao Xun'er inwardly cursed, realizing the power of the strange fire was not so easily controlled. Moreover, having matched Yun Tianming in a bout of Soul Power and not yet recovered, she was unable to prevent the energy of the strange fire from bursting outward.

"Now we've really played with fire, haven't we?"

Yun Tianming, enduring the discomfort brought by using the Soul Technique, quickly protected Nalan Yanran, who was still in a daze, behind him. Fortunately, at the critical moment, someone made a move. 

A shadow flashed across the hall at a speed that was completely beyond the visible range of the naked eye, so fast that even the Dou Grandmasters Xiao Zhan and Ge Ye did not notice. Only Yun Tianming, relying on his strong Soul Perception, could see everything clearly. 

He thought to himself: Finally, the strong Dou Emperor of the Gu Clan has appeared! 

Ling Ying moved at a high speed like a ghostly shadow, leaving behind dark trails imbued with a unique dark attribute Dou Qi. He constructed a dark cage in the hall that enveloped the spreading golden flames, then quickly shrank and compressed it into a dark sphere before Ling Ying's body turned into a wisp of black mist and sank into the ground. From appearing to disappearing, the entire process took Ling Ying no more than two seconds. Since everyone's attention was focused on the golden flames erupted by Xiao Xun'er, no one noticed Ling Ying's presence.

"What just happened?"

"It felt like an illusion."

"Fool! Look around!"

Looking at the wooden furniture in the hall, all of it charred, and the cracked blue stone floor, everyone realized with hindsight, feeling as if they had just wandered through the gates of hell!
