Chapter 209 One move determines victory or defeat
"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"

Xiao Yan quickly formed seals with his hands in front of him, and an invisible force condensed in an instant, transforming into a golden ball of light. The golden ball of light began to grow larger as Xiao Yan injected his fighting spirit into it. With a slap of his palm, a huge golden dragon flew out of it and rushed directly towards Hai Bodong.

"Xuan Bing Long Xiang!"

Hai Bodong felt the terrifying pressure brought by the dragon, and his face suddenly changed. He quickly formed seals with his hands in front of his chest, and a huge black ice dragon quickly condensed and flew towards the golden dragon shot by Xiao Yan.

The two giant dragons wrestled and collided fiercely in the sky, making a deafening noise.

Seeing that the golden dragon he had created was unable to win, Xiao Yan did not dare to be negligent. He mobilized the Dou Qi in his body and injected it into the golden dragon.

After obtaining Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, the golden dragon suddenly became extremely powerful. It slammed into the Black Ice Dragon fiercely, breaking a lot of ice on the Black Ice Dragon's body.

Seeing that his Black Ice Dragon was at a disadvantage, Hai Bodong madly injected his fighting spirit into the Black Ice Dragon. With the blessing of fighting spirit, the Black Ice Dragon's combat power increased greatly, and it severely suppressed the Golden Dragon.

"Oh my god! Are you competing with me in terms of Dou Qi storage? I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to competing in Dou Qi!" Seeing this, Xiao Yan naturally did not want to be outdone, and once again injected all the Dou Qi that had recovered in his body into the golden dragon.

“Haha, compare your Dou Qi storage with mine. Although I am a Dou Ling now, as a former Dou Huang, I can recover quickly with the help of the power of heaven and earth.” Hai Bodong smiled slightly when he saw Xiao Yan getting angry. Scholar Xiao Yan continued to inject Dou Qi into the ice dragon.

Xiao Yan discovered that Hai Bodong's Dou Qi seemed to be able to recover automatically. After all, after fighting for quite some time, his Dou Qi showed no sign of being exhausted.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan immediately stopped inputting his fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong realized that there was no point in continuing to fight, so he stopped fighting.

The two giant dragons, without the support of fighting spirit and no one to control them, continued to fight for a while before disappearing into the sky.

"After fighting all night, I think you've had enough! Is it time to talk about the seal?" After Hai Bodong stopped, he looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

"Haha, of course!" Xiao Yan was in a very good mood at this moment. Without using the strange fire, he could fight Hai Bodong, who was once a Dou Huang, to a draw. It was already a very good thing.

Hai Bodong was surprised to see Xiao Yan agreed so readily, but then he frowned and asked, "Do you know how to remove my seal?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Yan answered very straightforwardly.

"You! Are you kidding me!" Hai Bodong was once a Douhuang powerhouse after all. Although he was sealed now and his temper was a little better, he was still very angry that Xiao Yan played tricks on him. His aura suddenly burst out and he wanted to teach Xiao Yan a lesson.

"Don't be so bad-tempered! I really don't know how to remove your seal, but you shouldn't be really bored staying in Mo City, so you should be selling maps to pass the time!" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile when he saw Hai Bodong was angry.

“Of course not. I stayed in Mo City to sell maps because I wanted to meet someone who had Strange Fire or came to the Tager Desert to look for Strange Fire. Because in order to remove the seal on me, I need to take the Evil-Breaking Pill, and in order to refine the Evil-Breaking Pill, one must be an alchemist with Strange Fire.” Hai Bodong glanced at Xiao Yan and told him the reason why he had been staying in Mo City.

"Congratulations! You found it!" Xiao Yan glanced at Hai Bodong, then with a move behind him, a ball of black and white flame suddenly appeared in his palm. "This is... Strange Fire!" Hai Bodong's eyes widened, staring at the flame in Xiao Yan's hand without blinking, and after feeling the terrifying temperature of this flame, his heart was filled with shock.

"Now you should believe that I can remove the seal on you!" Xiao Yan retracted the flame in his palm and said with a smile.

"Sorry! I was presumptuous just now!" Hai Bodong bowed to Xiao Yan and said apologetically.

"In that case, should we talk about the reward?" Xiao Yan said with a strange arc on his lips.

"Haha, it's my duty! It's my duty! I wonder what kind of reward you want, little brother?" Hai Bodong said with a smile.

"That depends on what kind of reward you offer!" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said to Hai Bodong.

“This…” Hai Bodong knew that he was about to bleed heavily. In his opinion, Xiao Yan’s identity must be extraordinary, and ordinary things could not impress Xiao Yan. After thinking seriously for a long time, he said, “If you help me remove the seal on my body, I will owe you a favor! And the other half of the incomplete map.”

"The favor from the Douhuang master plus the other half of the incomplete map is indeed good, but it seems to be missing something!" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan's strength was just that of a fighting master, which was not equal to Hai Bodong's. But now Xiao Yan's strength has reached that of a great fighting master, and he even tied with Hai Bodong, so the asking price was naturally a bit higher.

"Let me tell you another piece of news about the Strange Fire. You should know how precious the news about the Strange Fire is, especially for you alchemists." Hai Bodong's mouth twitched slightly after hearing what Xiao Yan said. This young man gave him the feeling of an old fox who was too calculating.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves! Medusa's seal not only sealed Hai Bodong's strength, but also accelerated his aging. If he was delayed for some more time, he would probably become a pile of bones. At this time, Hai Bodong would be willing to sell himself.

"Well, that's about right! Give me the materials and recipe of the Evil-Breaking Pill! I'll help you refine it!" Xiao Yan said very generously.

"Well...actually...actually I have collected almost all the materials needed to make the Evil-Breaking Pill, but there is still one material missing, which is called Sand Mandragora. This medicinal herb grows deep in the desert. You also know that I have the ice attribute, so as long as I enter the depths of the desert I will definitely be discovered by Medusa, so...so..." Hai Bodong said rather embarrassedly.

"You're not going to ask me to help you find the Sand Mandala, are you?" Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong in surprise.

Hai Bodong himself knew that asking the alchemist to help find medicinal materials was indeed too much, especially since this kind of medicinal materials were quite difficult to find and there was a risk to one's life.

"You can let me help you find the Sand Mandragora, but you also know that the Sand Mandragora grows deep in the desert, and the deep desert is the holy land of the Snake People. The possibility of encountering Medusa is very high, and you will die if you are not careful, so... you have to pay more!" Just when Hai Bodong thought the negotiations were going to fail, Xiao Yan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"You really won't release the eagle until you see the rabbit!" Hai Bodong said with a helpless smile.

"There's nothing I can do! It's a fair trade! And I didn't force you!" Xiao Yan spread his hands and said.
