Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"My dear disciple, you will be alright, you will!"

As the old doctor looked at the collapsing strange fire, he seemed to have made up his mind, and his eyes gradually hardened.

At this moment, the three-colored strange flames surrounding Xiao Yan and Protector Wu had gradually merged into a somewhat strange-looking lotus shape.

Perhaps because it was Xiao Yan's first time condensing the lotus, his control was insufficient, and the enormous lotus looked extremely haphazard. Inside the enormous lotus was where Xiao Yan and Protector Wu were located.

Around the lotus, as the strange fire burned, the space trembled and distorted, and even occasionally a tiny spatial crack appeared.

Inside the lotus, Xiao Yan's eyes were glazed as he looked at Protector Wu, who was right in front of him. Wu's body had completely lost consciousness, so Xiao Yan finally let go of him. As he fell downwards, he used the last bit of his soul power to detonate the lotus of strange fire.

boom!

The loud explosion was so loud that it even caused people to lose their hearing. Even You Ruo, who was right next to it, could only retreat the moment she realized that the Fire Lotus was about to explode, and dared not stay in the same place any longer.

After all, the power of Xiao Yan's attack was too terrifying. Even You Ruo didn't dare to take it head-on. As for Xiao Yan, You Ruo had no way to save him.

Unlike Yao Lao, when he sensed the fire lotus exploding, he rushed towards the center of the explosion.

He knew that if he didn't go, his disciple would likely perish here today.

The reason Xiao Yan and Protector Wu fought so desperately was all for their own sake. If their disciple was doing this, how could they possibly stay in the background and be at ease?

"What a silly boy..."

The old man muttered something, but a smile appeared on his face. Facing the center of the explosion, flames were still rushing towards him.

Countless energies, carrying the residual power of the strange fire, crashed towards Yao Lao. Such power would kill even a Dou Huang.

However, Yao Lao's expression did not change at all. The moment these energies approached Yao Lao, they all mysteriously separated to the sides, but Yao Lao's soul body also became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Knowing that his time was running out, Yao Lao suddenly moved and rushed directly into the center of the explosion.

Inside the Fire Lotus, Protector Wu had no time to care about Xiao Yan at the moment of the explosion, letting Xiao Yan fall downwards and crash into the Fire Lotus barrier.

In a short moment, several pitch-black chains emerged from the black mist behind Protector Wu, continuously wrapping around him and forming a sphere. Then, thick black mist emanated from the chains, enveloping him within them.

At that moment, the explosion occurred.

The energy from the explosion struck the shield of the guardian, causing the previously pervasive black mist to instantly weaken and gradually diminish.

Yao Lao rushed into the center of the explosion, only glancing at Protector Wu's shield before ignoring it and looking down at Xiao Yan.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had completely lost consciousness due to the damage to his soul caused by the forced fusion with the strange fire. He could only rely on the shield formed on his body by the instinct of the strange fire to protect its master and persevere.

With a swift movement, Yao Lao appeared beside Xiao Yan. With a wave of his hand, a massive black medicine cauldron appeared, directly trapping Xiao Yan inside.

Then, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan inside the medicine cauldron and smiled: "Silly boy, today I will teach you one last trick."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old doctor's expression turned serious. With a wave of his hand, countless precious medicinal herbs appeared in front of him. With a gentle touch, they all entered the medicine cauldron.

"Fire!"

The old apothecary swept his soul power around him, and the strange fire that had been scattered by the explosion was drawn back out by him and then gathered towards the medicine cauldron in front of him.

In the void, a huge, pitch-black medicine cauldron stood out from nowhere, with strange flames burning beneath it. The old medicine master looked solemn as he carefully examined the movements inside the cauldron.

"All of these things combined should be enough for you to advance to the Dou Huang level, right? Add to that your undigested foundation, and if you train well, the next period will be one of rapid advancement in your strength..."

Under the refinement of the old medicine master, the medicinal herbs that had just been thrown into the cauldron were all cleansed of impurities, leaving only the most essential parts, which were then integrated into Xiao Yan's body.

The injuries Xiao Yan had suffered were repaired by these medicinal liquids, restoring him to his peak condition. He knew that his strength had begun to break through again.

When Yao Lao passed on the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to Xiao Yan, he had already used his own soul power to help Xiao Yan improve once. As long as Xiao Yan digested it, he should be able to reach the peak of Dou Wang.

However, given the urgency of the situation and seeing Xiao Yan's desperate efforts, Yao Lao intervened once again, forcibly refining countless amounts of dense energy and directly integrating it into Xiao Yan's body. As long as he continues to refine himself, he won't have to worry about his cultivation level in the short term.

Moreover, during this period, the medicine cauldron not only refined the impurities of the medicinal herbs, but also refined the impurities in Xiao Yan's body, causing Xiao Yan's physical strength to rise to another level.

"Finally, it's all over... Looking at Xiao Yan, who had finally calmed down in my medicine cauldron, and Yao Lao, who was so illusory that he almost disappeared, a look of fatigue flashed across his face, and his body disappeared a little more.

puff!

Just as the old apothecary sighed, the pitch-black chain pierced through his chest and pulled him backward.

Chapter 67 The End

Just as Yao Lao was protecting Xiao Yan and taking advantage of the surrounding splashing strange fire to temper Xiao Yan's body, Protector Wu behind him had already broken free.

However, at this moment, the black mist behind Protector Wu had become extremely thin, almost undetectable unless one looked closely. Even the strange, pitch-black chains he controlled now had only one remaining chain, covered with dense cracks, ready to shatter at any moment.

Protector Wu's aura had also weakened considerably. The black robe that had originally covered his body was now reduced to just a few strips of cloth hanging on his body, and it was completely dried out by the scorching heat of the strange fire. The way he looked at Xiao Yan was as if he were looking at a madman.

In his opinion, Xiao Yan wouldn't have done such a crazy thing if he wasn't a madman. The explosion of the three different flames even terrified Protector Wu. If it weren't for his own strength and the strangeness of the chains, he probably would have perished.

Although he has not perished, he has suffered extremely serious injuries and dares not linger in battle.

Seeing that Yao Chen was completely unguarded in front of him, Protector Wu did not hesitate at all. He manipulated the remaining chains and directly pierced through Yao Chen's soul, bringing him back. As for Xiao Yan, who was inside the cauldron, Protector Wu could only glare at him hatefully before turning away without hesitation.

He could already sense Medusa's aura approaching. If he delayed any longer, once Medusa arrived, he feared that in his current state, he would not only be unable to take Yao Chen's soul with him, but he himself would also perish here.

"Xiao Yan, I've taken Yao Chen's soul with me. I'll wait for you to come to the Soul Palace and take it back!"

As he was leaving, Protector Wu shouted loudly in Xiao Yan's direction.

Inside the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan's eyes were tightly closed, but bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, Xiao Yan was completely unable to move.

Yao Lao knew his disciple's nature well. If he didn't take action, Xiao Yan would probably chase after him once he recovered. However, without Yao Lao's support, Xiao Yan was no match for Protector Wu.

"Hehe, little one, goodbye..."

As Yao Lao watched the scenery rushing past him, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. He recalled the time when he took Xiao Yan as his disciple. Back then, Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan were both incredibly young. Yao Lao looked at the towering cauldron in the sky and slowly closed his eyes.

call out!

You Ruo rushed over and watched the Wu Protector gradually disappear into the distance, a dark look flashing in her eyes.

Her constitution was already restrained by extremely yang things like strange fire, let alone the explosion of three kinds of strange fire. You Ruo didn't dare to stay in the same place at all, so even though she had rushed over at the fastest speed, she was still some distance away from Protector Wu.

"No need to apologize, you have done your best. Take good care of the child in your womb. I believe in my disciples, they will not let me down."

A faint voice reached You Ruo's ears from the direction of the old man. Upon hearing this, You Ruo stood still, gently stroking her lower abdomen, sighed, and then returned to the battlefield.

With Protector Wu gone, the battle at Yunlan Sect remained unchanged. Needless to say, the strength of Jia Xingtian and his group was such that just their presence alone emboldened the Yunlan Sect members to attack, especially since Yunshan and other high-ranking members of the Yunlan Sect had already perished.

Jin Lao tried to escape in the chaos, but was blocked by Ban Huang. Then Jia Xingtian and others arrived and took him down.

In mid-air, a huge black medicine cauldron stood in the void. Xiao Yan was still trapped inside the cauldron. Awe-inspiring energy of heaven and earth continuously emanated from the cauldron, then struck the edge of the cauldron, producing a series of long sounds.

hum!hum!

As the energy fluctuations became increasingly intense, a burst of energy suddenly erupted from the cauldron, shooting straight into the sky.

boom!

The powerful energy fluctuations instantly attracted everyone's attention. Jia Xingtian and the others threw Elder Jin to the ground and then looked up at the sky.

"Xiao Yan!"

Sensing Xiao Yan's presence, Jia Xingtian and the others breathed a sigh of relief. After all, most of the people present had gathered together because of Xiao Yan, so it was naturally best that Xiao Yan was alright.

"teacher!"

Xiao Yan burst out of the medicine cauldron and flew in mid-air, searching his surroundings, but he did not find Yao Lao's figure. At this moment, Xiao Yan understood that from now on, his path would no longer be accompanied by his teacher.

Xiao Yan looked at the storage ring on his finger with a disappointed expression.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's strength soared to the Dou Huang realm. Originally, Xiao Yan had only absorbed the Bone Spirit Cold Flame given by Yao Lao and could not break through to the Dou Huang realm at all. However, when Yao Lao left, he not only protected Xiao Yan with the medicine cauldron, but also directly smelted a large number of rare and precious materials to repair Xiao Yan's injuries and raise Xiao Yan's physical strength to another level.

"Alright, cheer up! Don't forget what your teacher said; he's still waiting for you to rescue him!"

Just as Xiao Yan was feeling down, You Ruo appeared in front of him and spoke to him calmly.

Upon hearing You Ruo's words, Xiao Yan immediately recalled Yao Lao's previous instructions to him. He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner disappointment, and turned his gaze to the group from Yunlan Sect.

At this moment, Jin Lao had already been defeated and imprisoned by Jia Xingtian and the others.

Xiao Yan looked at Elder Jin, who was still struggling on the ground, and walked to Elder Jin's side with a gloomy expression. If the other party had not informed Yunlan Sect, his teacher probably would not have been captured by the Soul Palace.

In fact, Xiao Yan knew that the people from the Soul Palace were probably originally from the Yunlan Sect. After all, their goal was not Yao Lao at first, but the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Xiao family. But at this moment, Xiao Yan only wanted to vent his violent emotions.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's killing intent towards Elder Jin became even more intense, almost tangible. The chilling atmosphere in the surrounding air was truly terrifying. Even Hai Bodong was watching Xiao Yan with a look of fear.

Although Xiao Yan no longer has the support of Yao Lao, he has already reached the Dou Huang realm. With the strange fire and secret techniques to enhance his strength that he possesses, even Hai Bodong might not be his match.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, you've tasted the bitterness of losing a loved one, haven't you?" Jin Lao knew he couldn't leave. Seeing Xiao Yan approaching, he collapsed to the ground and cursed at him.

"From the moment you killed my brother in the Black Corner Region, I disregarded life and death. I swore I would make you feel the pain I endured. Now, I'm finally satisfied, hahahahaha..."

"To exchange my worthless life for the world-renowned Medicine Master, isn't that an honor for me? Hahahaha..."

Xiao Yan looked at the laughing Jin Lao, his face still extremely gloomy.

"Teacher, my senior brother and I will naturally go to rescue them. I will not let any of the people from the Soul Palace go."

The two sides already had a grudge, so saying anything more now would be superfluous; it was just a matter of venting the violence in their hearts.

boom!

Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame surged towards Elder Jin. Under everyone's gaze, Elder Jin did not wail in the flames, but instead continued to curse Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan paid no attention to Elder Jin's curse. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Elder Jin was completely reduced to ashes by the strange fire. This was because Xiao Yan controlled the strange fire to torment him. Otherwise, Elder Jin, who had lost his strength, would have been burned to ashes in just a breath.

The two elders, Jin and Yin, who have dominated the Black Corner Region for so many years, have become history from this day forward.

After dealing with Elder Jin, Xiao Yan turned his attention to the people of the Yunlan Sect.

The royal army had already surrounded the foot of Yunlan Sect Mountain. Now that Yunshan, Yunling, and other powerful figures were dead, they had no ability to resist at all.
