Chapter 198: Xiao Yi Xian's New Strength

"Xiao Ming!" Zi Yan, who was engaged in battle with the lizardmen, couldn't help but cry out excitedly upon seeing Xiao Ming's arrival.

With quick and agile movements, she made her way to his side, her path made easier by the lizardmen's sudden fear of his presence.

"Xiao Ming, you finally came out. Did you finish what you were doing inside?"

"Things are progressing quite well," Xiao Ming replied with a nod.

The leader of the lizardmen glared at the lizardman in Xiao Ming's grasp, his ugly green face contorting with anger. "Human, let go of my people!"

Xiao Ming met his gaze with disdain in his eyes. "Let go? If you want to kill my people, then you must also be prepared to die."

After saying this, Xiao Ming's hand burst out with red flames, which enveloped the lizard man in his hand.

"Ah!" With a miserable cry, the lizard man instantly turned into ashes that were scattered with the wind.

"Lizardwood!" Several of the lizardmen's eyes widened in shock and anger at the sight.

"Human, you deserve to die!" They shouted as they charged towards Xiao Ming.

As the lizard men charged towards Xiao Ming, he quickly and smoothly selected one of them as his target. A silver light shone on his back as he appeared in front of the lizard man in an instant.

'What the hell! His cultivation realm is obviously not as high as mine, how come he's so fast!?'

The lizard man attempted to block the incoming attack with both hands, but it was futile. After weeks of intense training, Xiao Ming's cultivation level had reached eight-star and he was now only a step away from reaching the peak of Dou Emperor.

Only formidable opponents like Mister Gold and Mister Silver, who possessed a combined attack method, could push him to his limits. The lizard man was met with a sickening crack of bones as he felt his arm break under the force of the attack. In the next moment, a fist smashed into his face and sent him flying backwards, leaving a ten-meter-wide channel in the ground where he landed.

The remaining lizard men were left in awe and confusion as they witnessed the fate of their companion.

"How is this possible!?" They exclaimed.

They couldn't help but wonder what kind of monster this was, as the power displayed before them was truly terrifying.

In an effort to defeat Xiao Ming, the lizard men cooperated and besieged him from all angles, even attempting to use the injured Amethyst Winged Lion King as an advantage. However, their efforts were in vain as Xiao Ming expertly blocked and countered their attacks.

...

Bang!

With a bang as he fell, the last Lizardman, with his lower half shattered, fell to the ground with a face full of regret and reluctance, which represented the end of this battle.

After burning the corpses to ashes, Xiao Ming turned his head to look at Zi Yan and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was in much better condition than before, thanks to the Sixth Tier Pill that Xiao Ming had given it. In a short time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King should be able to fully recover.

Sixth Tier Pills were incredibly powerful, which was why they were so coveted by powerful Dou Emperors and even Dou Ancestors.

Walking towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Ming asked, "How is your recovery?"

"It's already nothing serious, this sixth-tier pill is really powerful," the Amethyst Winged Lion King responded.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly and praised, "You've done well this time."

Beside him, Zi Yan saw that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had received Xiao Ming's praise, and she lifted her little face and asked expectantly, "Xiao Ming, what about me?"

"You've done well too," Xiao Ming said with a smile as he patted Zi Yan's little head.

Receiving Xiao Ming's compliment, Zi Yan's eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon as she smiled.

Suddenly, Zi Yan thought of Xiao Yi Xian in the cave, and she asked, "If Sister Xian'er has successfully devoured the Heavenly Flame, why hasn't she come out yet?"

"Her situation right now is a bit special," Xiao Ming replied, feeling a little sad.

Xiao Yi Xian had managed to devour the flame, but because there were too many toxins accumulated in the Nether Poison Flame, her Woeful Poison Body had to absorb the toxins while she slept.

What was beyond doubt was that, in the following period of time, Xiao Yi Xian's strength would receive a significant boost.

However, during this improvement stage, Xiao Ming did not dare to move her for fear that she would be affected.

Therefore, they could only wait here until Xiao Yi Xian woke up on her own.

Although he knew from the simulation that it would only take about two months for Xiao Yi Xian to break through to the Dou Emperor, which would cause her to wake up automatically.

Still, in these past few months, he had become so accustomed to being accompanied by her that he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Xiao Ming informed Zi Yan and the Amethyst Winged Lion King about this. The Amethyst Winged Lion King was fine, as two months was not a long time for a magical beast with a long lifespan.

Zi Yan, however, seemed to be having a hard time, with a pitiful expression on her face.

"Don't show me that look. How about this, for helping us stop the lizard men, when we get back, I'll refine a few more bottles of pills for you."

"Make it ten bottles!"

"You just want to rob me!"

...

Two months passed in a flash, and on the original hill, two simple wooden huts had been built.

The larger one was designated for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the smaller one was for the rest of the group.

The larger hut had only wooden walls on three sides, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King lay inside it.

The smaller hut was more furnished, with windows, doors, and walls all around. Inside, Xiao Ming was holding a medicine book and studying it carefully. His concentrated gaze and handsome face gave him the appearance of a scholar.

On the bed beside him, Zi Yan was sleeping. Her delicate snow-white feet were stirring as her arms stretched upward, and her mouth, which had a bit of drool on it, seemed to be unconsciously mumbling something. It appeared that whatever she was eating in her dream must have been delicious.

Apparently interrupted by Zi Yan's mutterings, Xiao Ming put down the book in his hand.

"Counting time, Xian'er should be waking up today. Breaking through from Dou Spirit to Dou Emperor in two months, this speed is unmatched by anyone. However, although my gains in Dou Qi cultivation in these two months are not as good as hers, I have gained a lot in the way of alchemy, so perhaps I can start refining seventh-tier pills," thought Xiao Ming.

Yes, the current Xiao Ming was already strong enough to refine seventh-tier pills, but these pills were more precious compared to sixth-tier pills, and the materials were naturally harder to find. Even with Xiao Ming's wealth, he did not dare to refine them at will. The loss of a couple of those materials would be enough to make his heart ache.

Putting the books in his storage ring, Xiao Ming left the wooden house and walked towards the cave where Xiao Yi Xian was.

Nodding to the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the other wooden hut, he entered the cave.

After turning a corner and opening the door made of rock that he had prepared, Xiao Yi Xian appeared in Xiao Ming's eyes with the aura of a peak Dou King.
