Chapter 521: Qin Yan’s Apology (1/2)

Chapter 521: Qin Yans Apology

Yang Kan and Lu Jian were wreathed in the aura of Yang Kan’s breakthrough as Yang Kan carried him through the thick, colorful mist into the next segment of the swirling band.

The six crimson stone columns morphed into a streak of flames and flew back to him right before he disappeared into the misty barrier.

However, due to the sudden appearance of the Flame Dragon Armor, each of the six stone columns were forcibly drained of their earthflame crystal strings, which eventually converged on the dragon bone at the central chest area of the Flame Dragon Armor.

The series of quick changes flabbergasted everyone present. By the time they came back to their senses, Yang Kan and Lu Jian were already nowhere to be found.

After a moment of silence, Dong Baijie said with a grim expression, “That guy had actually been at the peak Greater Heaven stage this whole time, and he was able to make the breakthrough at any moment. Apparently, he had been suppressing himself from entering the Worldly realm. He must have been waiting for something to happen and looking for the right time.

“Perhaps this was the reason why he acted so recklessly in this segment. He knew he would be able to cross into the next segment whenever he wanted.”

Dong Li panted heavily, highlighting the perfect curves of her ample chest, as she chimed in, “The way I see it, this Yang Kan person is an even more formidable opponent than Tang Yang.”

Dong Baijie seemed to have the same notion as he nodded and said, “He could have made the breakthrough long ago, yet he intentionally held himself back. Clearly, he had bigger ambitions and schemes than Tang Yang!”

The Flame Dragon Armor floated high in the air, where wisps of earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings were still converging on it.

As the crystal ball discarded by Yang Kan lost all of its earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings to the Flame Dragon Armor’s Blood Core, it exploded.

Nie Tian was taken aback.

In fact, he had been hesitating before Qin Yan revealed his true identity.

The moment Yang Kan’s six crimson stone columns had flown out, and he had seen the earthflame crystal strings slithering within the engraved magical beasts in them, he had sensed the Flame Dragon Armor’s joy and yearning.

When Yang Kan had taken out his crystal ball that had been filled with earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings, the Flame Dragon Armor grew even more thrilled.

The reason he hadn’t unleashed the Flame Dragon Armor to absorb all the earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings was that he had been hesitant to reveal his true identity.

Just as he had been weighing the pros and cons of it, Feng Ying had once again called out to him for help. The fact that he had ignored her call for help and his previous refusal to help them had finally enraged Qin Yan, who had then revealed his true identity.

Having the decision made for him, he had summoned the Flame Dragon Armor, which had not only broken the Spiritual Hexaflame Formation effortlessly, but also absorbed all of the earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings it could find.

However, he hadn’t expected that, as one of the core disciples of the Flame God Sect, Yang Kan actually had more cards to play.

After he had realized that his Spiritual Hexaflame Formation was a lost cause, he had recognized the unfavorable situation he was in, and known that if he had continued to stay, he would have soon become the target of everyone.

Therefore, he had made the breakthrough without any hesitation, which had worked out for Lu Jian from the Spirit God Sect as well, since he had luckily left as Yang Kan’s tag-along.

Yang Kan’s decisiveness and calmness at the crucial moment had deeply impressed Nie Tian. He secretly categorized Yang Kan as one of his most formidable opponents.

“Senior martial brother!” the other two Flame God Sect Qi warriors cried out at the tops of their lungs as they watched Yang Kan disappear into the thick mist.

The fact that he had taken the brazen Lu Jian instead of them made it clear that he had attached little importance to them, and left them to die. At this moment, as the six crimson stone columns disappeared with Yang Kan, the flame ward disappeared along with them.

Dong Kang, Cao Qiushui, Gu Haofeng, Qian Xin, and the others who had arrived after them rushed into the colorful area and vented their anger on the two Flame God Sect disciples that were left behind.

Not only were Qin Yan and Feng Ying instantly relieved of their crisis, but they worked together with the others to trap the two Flame God Sect Qi warriors.

Gritting her teeth, Dong Li stepped over to Nie Tian’s side. Looking coldly at Qin Yan from afar, she said in a low voice, “I can’t believe Qin Yan would do that! Now that she’s revealed your true identity to so many people, if we run into people from the Heaven Palace Sect later, I’m afraid that you’ll be in danger.”

Dong Baijie let out a sigh, but didn’t say anything. He also deemed it was a rather rotten thing for Qin Yan to reveal Nie Tian’s true identity and put him in danger just to save herself. She could have gone another way.

“How are you doing, Nie Tian?” Dong Li asked concernedly.

At this moment, the Flame Dragon Armor had already gathered every last wisp of earthflame essence and earthflame crystal string it could find.

After the satisfying feast, it circled around in the air and flew back into Nie Tian’s ring of holding after failing to identity any new targets.

Instead of answering Dong Li right away, Nie Tian briefly communicated with the Flame Dragon Armor, and then his eyes lit up.

From the message he received from the Flame Dragon Armor’s soul, he learned that the Flame Dragon Armor would recover its peak state after refining the earthflame crystal strings and earthflame essence it had just absorbed.

Furthermore, with a joyful tone, it also told him that the earthflame crystal strings would help it grow and transcend.

Afterwards, the Flame Dragon Armor’s soul took the initiative to end the communication with him and focused wholly on refining the earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings.

Nie Tian smiled heartily. “I’m alright. It’s just that I’ve just consumed a considerable amount of my strength. That’s all. How about you?”

“I’ve sustained some injuries, but nothing major,” Dong Li said, pointing at her shoulder.
