The Xin family elder was a famous third-grade alchemist. His fire control skills were quite good, and a ball of scarlet fire condensed into a fire lion that roared endlessly.
However, the condensation of this fire lion was not perfect. It seemed that its body and claws did not match, and it looked like it would scatter easily.
With a wave of his hands, the Fire Lion pounced on Ling Xiao's blue wolf king, as if it hadn't been released for a long time.
The Xin family elders all shouted in unison, as if they could see the fire lion biting off the wolf king's head.
Unexpectedly, the blue wolf king was just as arrogant as Ling Xiao. It only raised its front paw and smashed it directly onto the fire lion.
The fire lion actually disintegrated under the blue claw.
The Xin family members were all shocked.
The Xin family elder's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted again, "You have some ability. Look at my two fire lions, I don't believe that they can't bite you to death."
This time, the Xin family elder learned his lesson. He did not use the fire lion to provoke the blue wolf king, but directly controlled it to attack Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's mouth curled into a faint smile. He did not need the blue wolf king to defend, but with a flick of his other hand, two small blue flames shot towards the two fire lions.
The two fire lions could not dodge in time, and as soon as they were touched by the blue flames, they were completely devoured.
Before the Xin family elder could react, Ling Xiao smiled faintly, and with his other hand, he controlled the blue fire wolf to pounce towards the Xin family elder.
Its speed was peerless, and in an instant, it arrived in front of the Xin family elder.
"Hmph, watch me destroy it!"
The elder coldly snorted, and the flames in his palms rose again. Two balls of intense flames instantly shot out from his palms.
Sizzle!
Unexpectedly, when his powerful flames burned the blue Wolf King, it was unable to cause any damage. It still ferociously bit towards the Xin family elder.
"Eighth brother, quickly retreat!" Xin Wuchang shouted to remind him.
The Xin family elder looked at the blue fire wolf in front of him. The scorching and violent fire made him palpitate.
"Damn it, what kind of fire is this!" The Xin Family's Elder screamed and quickly fled.
However, the Blue Wolf King's front claws still lightly scratched him before he retreated. Then, it did not continue to pursue him. Instead, it returned to the sky and revealed an extremely arrogant expression. Its eyes were filled with disdain.
Everyone in the Xin Clan was secretly impressed by the opponent's mastery of fire control.
At this moment, the retreating Xin Family Elder roared with unwillingness, "Damn it! His flame might be a beast flame or an earth flame!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the Xin family looked at the blue wolf king greedily.
No one knew what they were plotting in their hearts.
Ling Xiao sneered and said, "Hehe, this is the Heavenly Fire in my hands. If you don't want to be burned into an 'Eyebrows Swordsman' like him, then come and snatch it!"
The Xin Family Elder touched his two long eyebrows in a panic. Sure enough, he discovered that they had become bald at some point.
"Damned brat, I'll kill you!" That Elder was so angry that he began to roar.
His aura surged as he flew towards Ling Xiao.
"Old Eight, wait!" Xin Wuchang shouted and then asked Ling Xiao, "Where are you from?
Don't you know the name of the Xin Clan? "
Xin Wuchang also noticed the abnormality of Ling Xiao's flame. He was sure that the flame in this young man's hand was not a beast flame, but an earth flame. As for the young man admitting that it was a Heavenly Fire, that was absolutely impossible.
Why was he so sure that it was an earth flame?
Because he himself had a beast flame, and it was definitely not as violent and terrifying as the flame in front of him.
Why didn't he think that the flame in Ling Xiao's hand was a Heavenly Fire?
Because a Heavenly Fire was too rare and hard to find. Even if one was found, not even an Earthly Sovereign or a Heavenly Venerable would be able to subdue it, let alone this young man.
However, even if it wasn't a Heavenly Fire, an earth flame was still extremely rare. If he could take it from this young man, then becoming a fifth-rank alchemist would be just around the corner, and he would even be able to reach a higher level in the future.
Therefore, he had to ask this arrogant young man if he had a terrifying backer and if the Xin Clan could afford to offend him.
Xin Wuchang was the head of the clan, so he naturally wasn't a brainless person.
Ling Xiao naturally knew what Xin Wuchang was thinking, but he didn't care. "I am the Prince Consort of the Gu Clan, Ling Xiao."
Ling Xiao suddenly thought of a plan and decided to reveal his identity.
"The Gu Clan's Prince Consort?
Which Gu Clan? "Xin Wuchang asked again.
The other Xin Clan members were all puzzled.
"Haha, it seems like it's been too long. Many people have forgotten the existence of our Gu Clan." Ling Xiao chuckled.
The Xin Clan members seemed to have thought of something and their expressions changed slightly.
Xin Wuchang said in disbelief, "Hmph, it's fine to swindle people, but the Gu Clan has already been exterminated. How could there be a Prince Consort?"
"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out soon enough," Ling Xiao replied casually. "Are you guys still playing? If not, then I'll leave with my disciple."
Xin Wuchang narrowed his eyes, "Let this old man experience your fire skills."
With that, a cyan flame appeared in Xin Wuchang's hand and gradually formed into a solid cyan tiger king.
This was a Cyan Wind Tiger King, a sixth-rank high-tier spirit beast. Xin Wuchang's flame was the Cyan Wind Fire Seed he obtained from the Cyan Wind Tiger King's cave, a powerful beast flame.
Beast Flames couldn't compare to Earth Flames or Sky Flames, but they were much stronger than ordinary flames. It was also much easier to subdue and obtain them.
This was something Xin Wuchang obtained by coincidence, allowing him to lay the foundation for becoming the head of the clan in one fell swoop.
When the Cyan Wind Tiger King appeared, the Xin Clan elders all cheered in unison.
In the Xin Clan, aside from the Xin Ancestor and a previous elder, Xin Wuchang's alchemy skills were the best. Naturally, he was also very proficient in controlling fire. Moreover, the beast flame in his hand made them all extremely envious. They all felt that Xin Wuchang would definitely win this time.
Unfortunately, although the Cyan Wind Tiger King was mighty, it was only a paper tiger in front of the blue wolf king.
The two beasts clashed, but in just a single exchange, the Cyan Wind Tiger King was torn to pieces by the blue wolf king.
At this time, everyone in the Xin Clan realized that this young man definitely had an Earth Fire in his hand.
"Everyone, let's attack together and keep them here!" Xin Wuchang didn't feel sad about the Cyan Wind Tiger King being torn to pieces. Instead, he became even more excited.
As long as he killed this young man, then the Earth Fire would belong to him.
Xin Wuchang's blood began to boil at the thought of this.
The Xin Clan elders received their orders and condensed powerful flames, attacking Ling Xiao at the same time.
"Take them away." Ling Xiao didn't show the slightest bit of fear. He said to Savage Leopard, blue flames rising from his body.
The Demon Blue Fireball had absorbed an unknown amount of thunder and fire essence from the Tang Clan's Lightning-Fire Pool. Its power was even greater than before, and the blue flames around Ling Xiao were even more vivid and enchanting.
Ling Xiao dove into the sea of flames. With himself as the center, the blue flames instantly exploded.
The flames that attacked Ling Xiao were instantly devoured by the Demon Blue Fireball. They were unable to harm Ling Xiao in the slightest.
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how powerful this young master is!" Ling Xiao shouted, full of fighting spirit. Countless blue flames shot out from his palms towards the Xin Clan elders.
The Xin Clan elders didn't dare touch Ling Xiao's flames, and they all soared into the sky.
Ling Xiao actually didn't plan on killing them. The flames he sent out burned towards the Xin Clan's buildings.
In the blink of an eye, several buildings near him were burned.
The expressions of the Xin Clan elders in the sky changed.
Xin Wuchang's face darkened, "Eighth, Ninth, Tenth … you guys go put out the fire. The rest of you, do your best to take him down."
A green cauldron appeared in Xin Wuchang's hand.
The other elders also raised their cauldrons.
The Xin Clan had been alchemists for generations, and their cauldrons were their best weapons.
The medicinal cauldrons flew out and smashed towards Ling Xiao at the same time.
Ling Xiao laughed and retracted his flames. Golden dragon scales appeared all over his body, and his fists were covered in thick scales. A Golden Dragon image soared into the sky, and the Golden Dragon roared endlessly.
Ling Xiao bounced up from the ground, and his fist covered in golden dragon scales met Xin Wuchang's cauldron.
"You're courting death!" Xin Wuchang sneered.
His cauldron was a Rank Five Xuan Artifact, a high-grade cauldron.
The kid in front of him dared to meet it with his fist. He really didn't know what was good for him.
However, the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
He only heard a "Bang" sound, and his cauldron was smashed into a cracked state.
After a few more "Bang" sounds, his cauldron could no longer withstand the huge fist force, and immediately broke into pieces.
Ling Xiao didn't stop and attacked the other flying cauldrons.
Bang bang!
In just a few moments, another three cauldrons were smashed.
The other Xin Clan elders were shocked. The elders who didn't have their Apothecary Masters summoned their Apothecary Masters back, afraid that they would be destroyed like the previous cauldrons.
Xin Wuchang felt like he was about to swallow blood. This cauldron was passed down to him by his ancestors, and it had been with him for nearly a hundred years. Yet, it was broken just like that.
"Kill him with all your strength!"
A flaming sword appeared in Xin Wuchang's hand, and he shouted at the other elders. His whole body was like a hawk, and he rushed towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao wanted to show his strength in front of his disciple, and his fighting spirit surged.
Ling Xiao, Xin Wuchang, and a few other Xin Clan elders who had switched to using other profound artifacts were fighting.
A series of explosions rang out above the Xin Clan's courtyard, and the Xin Clan members were scared witless.
"Who dares to break into our Xin Clan? He actually alarmed the Patriarch and the Elders!"
"Who knows? But no matter who dares to invade my Xin family, only death awaits them."
"Look, there's only one person fighting with the Patriarch and the other Elders. What kind of strength is this? It's too powerful!"
…
The members of the Xin family looked up at the sky and discussed among themselves. It was as if they had forgotten about the burning house.
