Fight to break the sky

In the quiet house, Nalan and his daughter talked in a low voice. Occasionally, they cast their eyes on the two people beside the bed. As time passed, they looked at the sweat rolling down the old man's face and the bulging veins on his arms. , Nalan Yanran and their low-pitched conversation also slowly stopped. They looked at each other, and they both saw a little anxiety and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Ignoring the restless two people in the room, Xiao Yan's face remained calm. The finger on Nalan Jie's back was trembling slightly. The faint green flame was constantly wrapped by the power of the soul, and then cautiously entered the latter's body. Inside, the high temperature was gradually used to drive away the "burning poison" that had invaded the bones in his body.

The cyan flame is wrapped around the black skeleton. Although the two seem to be close to each other, if you look closely, you can find that there is an extremely small gap between them. The temperature of the strange fire is really too terrifying. If it comes into direct contact with Nalan Jie's bones, even if the opponent is a strong King of Fighters, he will definitely be seriously injured or even die in an instant!

The blazing high temperature penetrated from the flames, and then slowly roasted the black bones.

As the green flames continued to smoke, wisps of black mist quietly emitted from the bones. Then, before escaping, they were quickly swooped by a cluster of green flames and wrapped in. Using the terrifying high temperature, they gradually These "poisonous" mist, which even the powerful Dou Huang warriors had to treat with dignity, were smoked and burned into nothingness...

However, when Xiao Yan used strange fire to burn the black mist, he did not realize that at the moment when the black mist was about to evaporate, some inexplicable black things were slowly mixed with the cyan flames. , and then there was complete silence.

As time passed quietly, the black skeleton wrapped in Xiao Yan's green flames gradually returned to its normal color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Outside, at this time, Nalan Jie's whole body was soaked with sweat. His old face was twitching constantly, and the sound of sucking in air-conditioning leaked out from between his teeth.

"Little... little brother, okay, are you okay?" Nalan Jie's voice was hoarse and trembling as his fists were tightly clenched, and the veins on his arms were trembling like little snakes.

Behind him, Xiao Yan's forehead was also covered with sweat. Controlling the strange fire for such a long time and using it with such high precision was also a huge burden on his soul power. Hearing Nalan Jie's trembling voice, When asked, he nodded slightly and said softly: "Since you can't persist any longer, let's stop the detoxification here for now. The depth of your poisoning is far beyond my expectation. I want to It is obviously impossible to expel the branding poison at once, so we can only choose to take it slow..."

"Can all the poison be expelled?" After hearing this, Nalan Jie couldn't help but said in surprise. Although the old man has lived for so many years, if there is a choice between death and survival, anyone will choose it. the latter.

"According to the current progress, there seems to be no problem." Xiao Yan said lightly.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my little brother would have such abilities at such a young age. I really don't know which hidden master could cultivate such an outstanding disciple..." Nalan Jie nodded hurriedly, his voice hoarse. He smiled and said: "Then it all depends on my little brother."

"By the way, what's your little brother's name?"

"Yan Xiao... stop talking, I'm going to evacuate the strange fire." Xiao Yan frowned, slightly curled his fingers, and the green flames that lingered outside the bones began to slowly withdraw, and the last bit was recovered. Entered Xiao Yan's body.

When the last ray of green flame was recovered into the body, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His face suddenly changed slightly, but then he recovered again and pretended to be fine. He glanced at the slightly blackened fingertips, pursed his lips, and retracted his palms back into his sleeves without leaving a trace.

"Brother Yan Xiao, what's going on?" Looking at Xiao Yan who seemed to have stopped expelling poison, Nalan Su hurriedly took two steps forward and asked.

"Today's treatment will end here. According to this progress, it must take at least seven days to expel the toxin." Xiao Yan glanced at Nalan Jie, whose face looked better than before, and said thoughtfully.

"Thank you, little brother. As long as you can cure the old man, the Nalan family will never let you down in terms of remuneration!" Looking at Nalan Jie's slightly radiant old face, Nalan Su felt this pressure in his heart. The heavy stone finally fell. Nalan Jie was as important to the Nalan family as Mo Cheng was to the Mo family. Without this pillar, although the Nalan family would not be in ruins, it would be different from the other two. The gap between the big families will definitely gradually widen.

"I will continue to come here tomorrow, so I will say goodbye today." Xiao Yan glanced at the sky outside, then turned to Nalan Jie on the bed and said.

"Little brother, I think in order to save some trouble, why not stay at Nalan's house?" After hearing this, Nalan Jie quickly smiled enthusiastically.

"No need, I have my own business." Xiao Yan shook his head lightly, ignored the three of them, raised his legs and walked towards the door.

"Uh... In that case, girl, you go and see your little brother off." Nalan Jie was stunned when he saw Xiao Yan walking away without any hesitation, and then said helplessly.

"Yes." Nodding slightly, Nalan Yanran looked at the thin back in front of her, and then slowly followed her.

…

Walking slowly on the gravel path, Xiao Yan stared straight ahead with an expressionless face, as if the princess of the Nalan family following him did not exist.

Standing side by side with Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran occasionally glanced at the young man who ignored her. Although her pretty face was calm, she was really a little shocked and a little depressed in her heart. Although she didn't really care, she was treated with such disregard. , but this was the first time she had experienced it in so many years. She thought she had a rather arrogant temperament, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her seemed to be even more arrogant than her.

However, Nalan Yanran also knew that although the young man in front of him named Yan Xiao was arrogant, he did have that kind of talent. At such an age, he could control the terrifying strange fire that even the powerful Dou Huang warriors were afraid of, which was enough to make He was proud of his peers, so even Nalan Yanran, while feeling a little aggrieved, had to feel a little impressed.

"Yan Xiao, although I don't know exactly how the alchemist expels toxins, but sending that kind of terrifying strange fire into the human body must require extremely high control, right? Your control seems to be better than mine. Many third-grade alchemists I have seen are much more tyrannical." Finally unable to bear the dull atmosphere, Nalan Yanran took the lead and asked softly.

"Maybe." Xiao Yan didn't look sideways and his voice was quite cold.

"Then why don't you take the exam to become a third-grade alchemist?"

"Putting one's strength clearly on the chest, this kind of behavior...I'm not that stupid." Xiao Yan sarcastically said in a low voice, tilting his head slightly, and glanced at Nalan Yanran's moonlight skirt and robe. The wrapped chest was quickly retracted: "Didn't you also wear the level badge?"

"The teacher said that the so-called level badge is just an illusion. Moreover, even I don't know what level my strength belongs to. It fluctuates too much." Nalan Yanran said with a smile.

"It fluctuates too much? What do you mean?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart moved slightly and he asked in a low voice without leaving any trace.

"...Sorry, these are some secrets of the Yunlan Sect and cannot be exposed to the public." Nalan Yanran shook her head apologetically, but did not tell the exact reason.

His brows furrowed slightly, then straightened out. Xiao Yan nodded silently, walking slowly and unhurriedly. He glanced at Nalan Yanran beside him, who was walking with quite graceful steps. He hesitated for a while, and his soul The power suddenly slowly came out of the body, and then lingered around her, trying to see if she could detect her true strength. Although Yao Lao had said at the beginning that there was something in Nalan Yanran's body that could stop the soul power. detection, but Xiao Yan still wanted to confirm it himself.

The soul power lingered beside Nalan Yanran. After a while, Xiao Yan sighed secretly in his heart. In his perception, the surface of her body seemed to be covered with a layer of energy film, completely absorbing the detected soul power. Isolated and drove away.

Slowly withdrawing his soul power, Xiao Yan's brows suddenly jumped slightly. He turned his head and looked at Nalan Yanran who was looking at him calmly. His fists under his sleeves tightened slightly and he said lightly: "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Yan Xiao seems to be very concerned about my strength?" Nalan Yanran stared at Xiao Yan and said with a meaningful smile: "Although I am not an alchemist, I am naturally very sensitive to the power of the soul..."

"I have long heard that the eldest lady of the Nalan family is a strong contender for the next head of the Yunlan Sect, so I couldn't help but want to test it out. I didn't expect that I was discovered even though I was so careful. I really admire her." Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly and smiled.

"Haha, really."

Smiling slightly, Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes stared closely at that ordinary face. For some reason, she seemed to have a vague strange feeling in her heart, but she still couldn't grasp what this strange feeling was. Liu's eyebrows furrowed slightly at the moment, feeling slightly tangled.

"We're here, there's no need to send Miss Nalan off. I'll go back and say goodbye." As he walked out of the gate, Xiao Yan turned his head and cupped his hands towards Nalan Yanran, who frowned slightly. Without waiting for her to reply, he said to himself He walked out of the gate and walked into the crowded road.

"This guy is really an arrogant and weird person..." Staring at the looming back in the crowd, Nalan Yanran shook her head slightly, whispered helplessly, and then turned around and entered Nalan's mansion.
