Battle Through the Heavens (Vol.1)

Chapter 89: Dark and Windy Night

The silver moon hung high in the sky, emitting a faint moonlight that covered the ground in a silvery layer that gave it a mysterious look.

After the disturbance in the day, Wu Tan City had become dark and quiet in the night. From within the houses on some streets, there was only the occasional sound of nightly activities

In a room in the backyard of the Xiao clan's home, a young man was lying on the bed. His eyes, as dark as the night sky, were filled with a cold quietness.

"Teacher, what is your strength in your current state?" After a long quietness, Xiao Yan abruptly asked in a soft voice.

"Why?" The black ring that he wore emitted a random response. A moment later, Yao Lao vaguely said: "Although I am currently in my soul form, I should have no problem handling some small flies like Da Dou Masters or Dou Spirits with my heavenly flame."

Hearing this, a slight happiness appeared on Xiao Yan's face. His eyes, however, still carried a coldness.

"You wish to kill the boy from the afternoon?" Seeing Xiao Yan's behaviour, Yao Lao asked with surprise.

"Jia Lie Ao isn't deserving of such effort." Xiao Yan smiled and whispered. "Two months is fast approaching and I am losing my patience to drag out the competition with the Jia Lie clan. Thus, I am hoping to secretly kill the alchemist called Liu Xi. Once he dies, the Jia Lie clan without any healing medicine will lose their remaining market share. Once that happens, even if their clan can continue surviving, their strength would have greatly declined and will no longer be able to threaten the Xiao clan."

"Oh. Have you really lost your patience? Seeing your character, you don't appear to be an impulsive person." After a brief silence, Yao Lao's joking voice escaped from the ring. "It seems that you care a lot for the girl called Xun. All that guy did was to act a little dirty yet you bear such a deep grudge. What a jealous child."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face warmed. The shame of having his thoughts so easily revealed arose his anger. "From the start, I did not have much time. How can I continue to play with them. Even if I had not met that guy today, I would have started using some tricks."

"Alright, alright. It has nothing to do with the girl..." Watching Xiao Yan's manner, Yao Lao laughed loudly. The mocking tone in his laugher caused Xiao Yan to roll his eyes helplessly.

"Since you wish to take action, let's get going. I am just a soul so I'll need to borrow your hands." Yao Lao ceased his laughter and said.

Hurriedly nodding his head, Xiao Yan quickly jumped off his bed. He took out a red storage ring from his breast pocket and retrieved a large black cloak which he had prepared beforehand. He pulled it over his body in a practiced manner and the thin body of the young man was transformed into a bloated, mysterious black-cloaked man.

"Let's go. You need not do anything. Just let me control your body. With my spirit encompassing you, you need not worry about anyone recognizing you from your scent." Seeing the well-prepared Xiao Yan, Yao Lao gave a smiling reminder.

"Ah." Nodding his head, Xiao Yan easily reached the side of the window and scanned his surroundings like a thief. Only then did he jump out and his body quickly descended. Following which, a mysterious strong strength was emitted from the ring on his finger.

The mysterious strength quickly encompassed Xiao Yan's entire body. Immediately, the rapidly falling figure suddenly floated in midair. Stepping lightly off a roof, his black figure was like an eagle, silently speeding out of the Xiao clan's home and disappearing into the dark night.

The dark and windy night presented a good opportunity to kill.

......

Jia Lie clan.
