BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 127: Another Shift in the World Line



In the instant that everyone was stunned, Xiao Yan explosively shot out from the crowded hall and flew in the direction of the shattered ice wall.

'A Dou King? No, that's a rare flying-type Dou Technique.' Nalan Yanran looked deeply at Xiao Yan as he flew away, her fingers clenched so tightly that they had turned white.

At this moment, where Hai Bodong was located, a figure in green exchanged a palm strike with him. Hai Bodong was forced to take several steps back, while the figure swiftly extended his arms and scooped up the stunned Qing Lin into their embrace.

Hai Bodong's expression turned grave as he stared at the green figure not far away. Since when had another elite Dou Emperor appeared in the Jia Ma Empire?!!

The green figure grabbed Qing Lin and, with a light push off the ground, a pair of green wings sprouted as they attempted to make a rapid escape.

"Trying to leave?"

A shout rang out. Hai Bodong's hands rapidly formed seals. Instantly, a chilling aura surged as huge ice coffins descended from the sky one after another, smashing ferociously toward the green figure.

The green figure's wings fluttered as they dodged left and right but couldn't completely avoid them all. Somewhat helplessly, they shot backwards, deflecting one ice coffin with a palm strike before nimbly leaping onto a nearby rooftop.

It was only when the figure stood still that her appearance became clear. It turned out to be a woman dressed in green. Though a green veil concealed her face, the exquisite curves beneath her clothing hinted that her looks might not be lacking.

The woman in green glanced at Hai Bodong standing on the ground and giggled, "Oh my, I really didn't expect a Dou Emperor to appear here. But I'm quite interested in this little girl. I'm afraid I can't give her to you."

"Let me go!" Qing Lin struggled continuously, but with only the strength of a Dou Practitioner, how could she possibly break free from the grasp of a Dou Emperor?

"Be good. I have no intention of harming you. Your talent can only truly blossom in our Sky Serpent Mansion."

The mysterious woman in green gently flicked her delicate hand against Qing Lin's forehead. Immediately, the struggling girl fell unconscious.

"Release Qing Lin!!" A gust of wind surged as Xiao Yan tightly gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler. The Flame Splitting Tsunami was chopped down viciously.

The woman in green merely smiled faintly as she saw Xiao Yan's full-power Flame Splitting Tsunami attack coming down. With a single-handed seal, a green energy shield materialized and effortlessly blocked his attack.

The woman in green smiled softly and looked up at Hai Bodong as she gently stroked Qing Lin's small face. As for Xiao Yan, who was only a Dou Grandmaster, she completely ignored him.

Smiling, she said, "Had I known a Dou Emperor would show up, I would have acted sooner. That so-called transplantation technique of the Mo Clan isn't as miraculous as I thought. I secretly learned a bit of it, and it turns out it wasn't worth the effort."

"Who are you? Why are you trying to abduct Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan stared at the green-clad woman's actions, his eyes narrowing as he coldly demanded.

He couldn't have imagined that this situation would take so many twists and turns. First Nalan Yanran appeared, and now a Dou Emperor showed up.

Moreover, this woman's strength seemed to be even greater than that of the recently recovered Hai Bodong.

"Oh, so this little one is called Qing Lin? Hehe, quite a nice name. These Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would only be wasted in your Jia Ma Empire." The woman in green chuckled.

Xiao Yan frowned. He had just heard through his Spiritual Strength that this woman came from the Sky Serpent Mansion.

He had read about the Sky Serpent Mansion in the books in his storage ring. On the vast Dou Qi Continent, where numerous powers existed, the Sky Serpent Mansion was considered a first- tier faction. It was much stronger than second-tier factions like the Misty Cloud Sect, which didn't even have a Dou Ancestor.

This Sky Serpent Mansion was an organization formed by snake-type magical beasts. Similar to the Pill Tower, it gathered many snake-type magical beasts from all over the Dou Qi Continent and was considered a holy land for them.

Xiao Yan said with a sharp look in his eyes, "I don't care where you come from. Qing Lin is one of my people, and I won't let you take her away from me. If you insist, don't blame us for using force."

"Hehe, this little girl is extremely important to me. It is impossible for me to hand her over to you," the woman in green laughed and shook her head. Her gaze swept over Hai Bodong as she chuckled, "Besides, with only a 1-star Dou Emperor, you won't be able to stop me." "Is that so? Then let's see." A fierce light flashed in Hai Bodong's eyes. To think that in his first battle after regaining his Dou Emperor strength, he would be looked down upon like this. His hands rapidly formed seals to gather energy as he moved with lightning-like speed. In an instant, the cold air in front of him condensed into over a dozen sharp ice spikes as thick as stone pillars. The spiral patterns at the tips of the ice spikes made them look even more lethal. The dozen massive ice spikes shot out with a wave of his sleeve, almost blotting out the sky and completely covering any space the woman in green might use to dodge. "Vinewood Thorn Whip!" The woman in green shouted as she extended her right hand. Five emerald-green energy whips, resembling thorny vines, lashed out from her fingers, deflecting the incoming ice spikes.

Ice shards scattered in all directions as ice wings appeared behind Hai Bodong, propelling him toward her.

Just as the woman was about to unleash another Dou Technique, a strange burst of Spiritual Strength struck her. Her vision suddenly whited out, and a searing pain shot through her head!

"Soul Skill?!" Her expression changed drastically as she looked in shock at Xiao Yan standing not far away, his face also turning pale.

Hai Bodong had already closed the distance in that fleeting moment. His right hand condensed icy Dou Qi as he struck a palm toward her.

The woman in green hurriedly countered with her own palm, but caught off guard, Hai Bodong naturally gained the upper hand. A burst of cold energy seeped into her body and slowed her Dou Qi flow.

Borrowing the force to propel herself away, the green-clothed woman stared at Xiao Yan with a solemn look in her beautiful eyes and said in a deep voice, "A Soul Skill? How is it possible for you to know a Soul Skill!"

She naturally knew that Soul Skills had long been lost on the Dou Qi continent. Although the Dou Qi continent once had Soul Skills, they were later taken back by an immensely powerful

organization.

This resulted in the complete absence of Soul Skills across the entire Dou Qi Continent. Moreover, if that organization discovered anyone possessing a Soul Skill, it could even bring

about a deadly calamity.

"Guess."

The woman in green's face alternated between dark and unsettled expressions. She bit her tongue to activate a secret technique. In an instant, she unexpectedly traversed a segment of the empty space and appeared a hundred meters away, breaking through their encirclement. Then she spread her wings and rapidly soared toward the horizon.

"A Spatial Secret Technique?! After her!"

Xiao Yan immediately spread out his wings like a great roc and soared into the sky in pursuit

of the green figure.

Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran who was still in the hall had her eyes fixed on Xiao Yan flying into the distance. At this moment, who knew what she was thinking in her heart. "Yanran... why don't we just forget about that three-year agreement? We can find another way to deal with the marriage arrangement," Ge Ye tried to persuade as he walked over to her

side.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although Xiao Yan's cultivation was only at the 3-star Dou Grandmaster stage, the same as Nalan Yanran's, and the 5th-tier Purple Crystal Pill provided by Gu He could allow her to

cultivate twice as effectively within a year...

But this wasn't just a matter of cultivation level!

Xiao Yan was a complete cultivation deceiver! His actual strength definitely reached the high-

star Dou Spirit stage, and the Dou Techniques he cultivated were ridiculously powerful!

"I have spent these past three years training with my Master, delving into a secret realm, venturing alone into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to temper myself, following my grandfather to the borders to fight and kill enemies... all for the sake of defeating him after three years." Nalan Yanran spoke in a flat tone, as if these experiences belonged to someone

else.

Ge Ye fell silent for a moment. Nalan Yanran's progress over the past three years was not merely due to the medicinal pills that enhanced her strength; she had also put in a tremendous amount of effort herself. Moreover, her talent was originally high to begin with.

Although Mo Li had claimed that his strength was on par with Nalan Yanran's, that was just him flattering himself because their cultivation levels were the same. Their actual combat power was not even in the same league.

Looking at where Xiao Yan had disappeared into the distance, Nalan Yanran made a decision beyond anyone's imagination.

"Uncle Ge, I want to enter the Gate of Life and Death."

It was precisely this decision by Nalan Yanran that caused the world line to deviate once again.

No one could have predicted at this moment that the secrets of the Misty Cloud Sect would later lead to a major turning point in Xiao Yan's life!
