Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 265

"Boy, as expected of a descendant of the Xiao family, you have quite the courage. My name is Protector Jiu." From within the black mist, Protector Jiu's figure appeared. He looked Xiao Yan up and down, then said, "Boy, as long as you hand over Yao Chen to me, I guarantee your cultivation path will be smooth sailing from now on. Even reaching the Dou Zun level wouldn't be impossible. What do you say?"

Upon hearing Protector Jiu's words, a hint of mockery flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. It seemed that the Soul Palace's strength within the Yunlan Sect was not great; otherwise, Protector Jiu would probably have taken direct action.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's heart gradually calmed down. He glanced at Protector Jiu, Yun Shan standing behind him, and a group of Yunlan Sect elders. Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, show yourselves!"

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the figures of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the Spotted Emperor, and others appeared behind him.

When Yun Shan saw the group of powerful figures appearing behind Xiao Yan, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He turned around and glanced at the remaining seven Dou Huangs of Yunlan Sect, whose faces also showed astonishment.

They thought they were the ones with the advantage, but then Xiao Yan and his group suddenly had so many more Dou Huang level experts.

Moreover, the aura emanating from the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Surging Wave Dragon Beast was in no way comparable to that of the newly-entered Dou Huang behind Yun Shan.

When Protector Jiu looked at the powerful figures behind Xiao Yan, his expression darkened slightly. Fortunately, they were all just Dou Huangs. As long as they hadn't reached the Dou Zong realm, it wouldn't have much impact on Protector Jiu's plans.

After all, the gap between a Dou Huang and a Dou Zong cannot be bridged by numbers. The opponent only has one Medusa who has reached the Dou Zong realm, so he only needs to hold her off... Thinking of this, Protector Jiu's face once again showed a shrewd smile.

As for Yunshan and Yunlan Sect?

If they cannot survive this ordeal, they will be of no use to Protector Jiu in the future. The Soul Palace can cultivate as many such forces as they want with just a word.

On the contrary, the generous reward awaits those who successfully bring Yao Chen back to the palace...

"Hehehe, since that's the case, then let's not hide anything from each other!"

Protector Jiu gave a sinister smile, then waved his hand, and a golden figure appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

"It's actually him!"

Xiao Yan looked at Elder Jin standing next to Protector Jiu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. No wonder his teacher's information was leaked; it turned out to be him.

If I hadn't sensed something was amiss and sought out so many powerful individuals beforehand, and hadn't rashly gone to the Yunlan Sect...

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

"Hmph, Xiao Yan, you didn't expect it to be me, did you!" Jin Lao looked at the astonishment on Xiao Yan's face and revealed a ferocious smile. He said, "I swore that I would make you regret killing my brother. The Medicine Venerable was just the beginning. I will make the Xiao family members go down to accompany my brother one by one!"

Chapter 55 Big melee!

Xiao Yan listened to what Elder Jin said without any change in expression. For Xiao Yan, the two sides had different positions in the previous battle, and it was expected that this level of battle would be a life-or-death struggle.

Moreover, Elder Yin could have broken through the encirclement by using the secret technique to enhance his strength, but he was the one who attacked Xiao Fan and ultimately died at the hands of Elder Yao.

"Don't worry, this time we will send you down to see your brother."

Xiao Yan looked at Elder Jin and spoke coldly, then turned to the crowd behind him and said, "Everyone, I'm counting on you."

"Don't worry, with our strength, they can't cause any trouble at all!"

Looking at the Yunlan Sect group opposite him, Banhuang spoke confidently.

After all, based on the strength they have shown so far, Xiao Yan and his group have completely overwhelmed the Yunlan Sect.

"Gentlemen, let's go!"

Jia Xingtian's eyes turned cold, and then a group of Dou Wangs from the royal family, the Mittel family, and other families behind him all charged towards the Dou Wangs of the Yunlan Sect.

"Your opponent is us!"

Seeing that several Dou Huangs from the Yunlan Sect were about to enter the Dou Wang battlefield, Yue Mei and the others immediately rushed over and engaged in battle with the Dou Huangs from the Yunlan Sect.

Yue Mei and the others were all powerful individuals who had just broken through to the Dou Huang realm, while the seven members of the Yunlan Sect had also forcibly reached the Dou Huang realm through Protector Jiu's secret technique. The two sides were evenly matched and became entangled with each other.

"Elder Jin, I didn't expect your cultivation level to have dropped to the Seven-Star Dou Huang realm. It seems we can settle our scores now."

Seeing that Elder Jin was eager to try, Emperor Ban stepped forward and looked at Elder Jin with a provocative expression.

Back in the Black Corner Region, the Gold and Silver Elders relied on their strength, and together they could even fight against a Dou Zong. Therefore, they looked down on the other Dou Huangs in the Black Corner Region. Emperor Ban had long disliked them. However, since the Gold and Silver Elders were strong back then, and countless people followed them, Emperor Ban naturally had no opportunity to cause trouble.

Now that Elder Yin is dead and Elder Jin's cultivation level has fallen to the level of a Seven-Star Dou Huang due to his forceful use of secret techniques, it's just the right time for the current Ban Huang to vent his anger.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing Banhuang's words, Jin Lao's face flashed with displeasure.

Back when he and his brother roamed the Black Corner Region, how dare the mere Spotted Emperor be so presumptuous in front of him? Unconsciously, Jin Lao's gaze toward the Spotted Emperor gradually turned murderous.

call out!

With a flap of his battle aura wings, Elder Jin transformed into a golden streak and charged toward the location of Emperor Ban.

The Banhuang Emperor had anticipated this. His powerful battle aura, carrying a scorching heat, blocked his way. Under the guidance of the old alchemist, the Banhuang Emperor had successfully broken through to the sixth-grade alchemist level, and his soul power had also increased significantly.

Therefore, although the Spotted Emperor is primarily an alchemist, dealing with Elder Jin, whose current strength and realm are one realm lower than his own, is still not a problem.

The watchful Protector Jiu had already set his sights on Xiao Yan. After all, Xiao Yan's strength was only at the Dou Wang level, making him the weakest among the Dou Huang experts. Moreover, he possessed Yao Chen's soul, which was like a windfall for Protector Jiu.

hum!

Just as Protector Jiu was about to make a move when You Ruo blocked his way.

"Medusa?"

Protector Jiu looked at You Ruo, who was blocking his way, and smiled coldly. He then said, "Medusa, you should think carefully before provoking our Soul Palace. The Snake-People behind you..."

"Noisy!"

Before Protector Jiu could finish speaking, You Ruo interrupted her, then waved her hand, and a seven-colored streak of light struck the black mist surrounding Protector Jiu.

When Protector Jiu sensed You Ruo's attack, a look of seriousness appeared on his face.

"Three-Star Dou Zong".

Such strength appearing in a remote place like the Gama Empire was truly beyond Protector Jiu's expectations.

His own strength was only close to that of a two-star Dou Zong, and he could only barely cope with You Ruo, a three-star Dou Zong, by relying on his mysterious and unpredictable methods.

As the battle began, three powerful warriors at the peak of the Douhuang realm—Xing Tian, ​​Jingtao Dragon Beast, and Zijing Winged Lion King—also charged towards Yunshan.

After all, they only have You Ruo, a Dou Zong expert, who is now fighting against the most mysterious Protector Jiu. Naturally, Yunshan can only be left to them.

However, the gap between a Dou Zong and a Dou Huang is not small. Facing the attacks of the three, Yun Shan remained calm and easily neutralized their combined attack.

"You will never understand the gap between a Dou Huang and a Dou Zong until you break through."

Looking at the three disheveled figures, Yunshan revealed a sense of superiority and spoke condescendingly.

"Heh, even if you're a Dou Zong, your Yunlan Sect will still be gone if the fight continues!"

Looking at Yunshan's appearance, Jia Xingtian smiled and said, after all, they were holding Yunshan back.

Hai Bodong and Fa Ma have already blocked the remaining three Dou Huangs of the Yunlan Sect.

Yunlan Sect currently only has seven Dou Huangs. Yin Shi, Mo Bas, Yue Mei, and Yan Ci from the Snake-People Clan each blocked one of them, while Hai Bodong alone directly blocked two Dou Huangs, and even managed to handle them with ease. Under Hai Bodong's attacks, these two Dou Huangs were already stretched thin.

The last Dou Huang was stopped by the kind-looking Fa Ma.

As for the Dou Wang realm experts, the Dou Wangs of the Yunlan Sect alone were simply no match for the Dou Wang experts from various families.

Xiao Yan looked at the chaotic battlefield in mid-air, a look of helplessness on his face.

Something feels off. I'm supposed to be at the heart of this battle, but now I feel like I've been sidelined, like a spectator.

"Fine, since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to find out where the elders are."

Xiao Yan glanced at the battlefield and saw that the Yunlan Sect members, from Dou Zong and Dou Huang to Dou Wang and even lower-level disciples, were all in a state of decline. So Xiao Yan felt relieved.

After surveying the layout of the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Yan rushed directly into the main hall. Seeing the Yunlan Sect disciples caught in the chaos, Xiao Yan casually grabbed a Yunlan Sect deacon at the Great Dou Master level, pressed the heavy Xuan Heavy Ruler down on their heads, and asked, "Where are the Xiao family elders that the Yunlan Sect captured?"

"Humph!"

The steward's face turned cold, and he was about to retort, but Xiao Yan exerted force on his hand, and he completely lost his breath.

As the deacon lay dying, a look of astonishment crossed his face. His last thought was: Why did you have to kill me? You could have at least pretended to threaten me, and then I would have told you.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan had no idea what he was thinking.

After all, there are countless disciples of the Yunlan Sect on this chaotic battlefield. Since he won't speak, just kill him. Not everyone is as stubborn as him.

Xiao Yan turned his gaze to another Yunlan Sect deacon not far away. Having witnessed the fate of the previous stubborn deacon, this man dared not be stubborn anymore. When he noticed Xiao Yan looking at him, he immediately pointed in that direction and said, "Over there, the Xiao family members have all been locked up in that direction by Elder Yunling."

Xiao Yan looked in the direction pointed out by the Yunlan Sect steward and saw a unique building standing on the edge of the cliff, surrounded by some arrays for vigilance.

With a slight flap of his Dou Qi wings, Xiao Yan flew towards the building.

Just as Xiao Yan approached the building, a somewhat familiar and powerful aura erupted from it.

Before he could even think about who it was, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes upon realizing that the expert was at the peak of the Dou Wang realm. The strange fire within his body burst forth instantly, sweeping outwards before retreating back in.

"Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire!"

The power boost brought about by the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame depends entirely on the flame used. Xiao Yan has now successfully subdued the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Sea Core Flame. Although the two are not compatible, the boost brought by the strange flames is naturally terrifying.

Originally a five-star Dou Wang, Xiao Yan's strength skyrocketed to eight-star Dou Wang after using the secret technique. Although he was still some distance from the peak of Dou Wang, it wasn't a big problem for him.

After his strength surged, Xiao Yan finally sensed the aura of a peak Dou Wang, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Just then, within the formation, several blurry figures gradually approached Xiao Yan's direction.

When the group finally came into full view of Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Nalan Yanran!?"

Xiao Yan never expected that after several years, Nalan Yanran would have already broken through to the peak of Dou Wang, a breakthrough far more powerful than his own in the past two years.

As Nalan Yanran appeared, Xiao Yan also saw the figures behind her. They were the Xiao family elders who had been taken away by Yun Shan and the others. However, the clothes of the elders were tattered and torn, and many wounds were exposed.

"Elder, are you all alright?"

Xiao Yan looked at the Grand Elder and the others with concern, then looked at Nalan Yanran with a puzzled expression.
