Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 269

Knowing he couldn't be restricted, Xiao Yan unleashed the power of wind and thunder beneath his feet, transforming himself into a bolt of lightning as he raced toward the gap in the chains.

"Hehehe, I knew you'd do this!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to reach the gap, the man in black robes suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

Xiao Yan looked at the man in black robes, a sense of pressure rising in his eyes. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Azure Water Flame within his body erupted and merged together in a short time, forming a dazzling azure-blue fire lotus.

"burst!"

Xiao Yan threw the fire lotus in his hand at the man in black robes, and with a cold shout, the explosion of the strange fire directly stirred up another wave of heat, which spread in all directions.

"Cough cough, hehehe, kid, although your attack was not bad, trying to break through my 'Eight Walls Prison' is simply wishful thinking, hehehe..."

The man in black robes grinned sinisterly, and as the flames dissipated, his figure reappeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

The mysterious figure, who had previously appeared enigmatic and hidden in a black robe, now had his robe tattered from the fire lotus explosion. Without bothering to preserve it, he waved his hand, and a figure resembling Protector Jiu, hidden in the black mist, appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

Wow!

Before Xiao Yan could react, the Soul Palace protector clasped his hands together, and the surrounding chains enveloped him and Xiao Yan.

"Hehehehehe, the cage is complete, Yao Chen, you're not leaving today!"

As the protector moved, eight chains, like eight pillars supporting the sky, were planted around Xiao Yan. The black mist spread from the chains and intertwined with each other, eventually forming a huge black cage that enveloped Xiao Yan.

"Hehehe, well done, Protector Wu."

The Dove Protector, who was desperately trying to stop You Ruo, saw that the cage was complete and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He shouted and yelled towards the location of the man in black robes.

Taking advantage of the moment when Protector Jiu was distracted, You Ruo directly bypassed his defenses and flew towards the black curtain in mid-air.

"Hehehe, Medusa, this is a special technique created by our palace specifically for targeting souls. How could your brute force possibly destroy it?"

Protector Jiu looked at You Ruo rushing over with a look of disdain.

Swish!

You Ruo didn't care. With a wave of her hand, a stream of seven-colored energy directly struck the black curtain of the cage. The surrounding chains trembled, and then the seven-colored energy mysteriously flowed into it and disappeared.

Seeing this bizarre scene, You Ruo's face turned solemn. She placed her hands above her head, and a hint of allure flashed in her narrow eyes. Then, a phantom purple python appeared behind her.

The giant purple python looked at the black curtain in front of it, opened its mouth and let out a roar, and an invisible wave spread out and surged towards the black curtain.

Strangely, even though the ground outside the chains was shaken and cracked, the black curtain connecting the chains remained completely unchanged.

"Hehehe, don't waste your energy. These are all things our shop owner has researched over the years, specially prepared for alchemists like you, Yao Chen. No matter how many people you have, it won't help."

Protector Wu smiled as he looked at You Ruo, who was still trying, then turned to look in Xiao Yan's direction. He made a fist with his hand, and from the black curtain around the chains, countless dark wisps of mist, like ghostly hands, reached out to grab Xiao Yan's position.

"Humph!"

Sensing Protector Wu's actions, Xiao Yan snorted coldly, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within his body surged forth, making him appear like a burning fireman, hidden within the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Sensing the eeriness of the cage, Xiao Yan called out to Yao Lao in his heart. Besides what Protector Wu had just said, Xiao Yan also discovered that the power Yao Lao had given him would be consumed more rapidly within this strange cage, which was probably also Yao Lao's purpose.

Once the teacher's power is lost, one's strength is only at the Dou Wang level, and one cannot stop them at all. Moreover, the Soul Palace is extremely restrained by teachers who are merely soul beings.

"No problem."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao remained silent for a moment before speaking casually, scanning the strange cage.

"I never expected it to be so ingenious!" The old apothecary looked at the cage in front of him, occasionally letting out a word of praise, as if he himself was not the one trapped.

"teacher!"

Xiao Yan was extremely anxious, and kept calling out to Yao Lao in his heart: "What time is it? Why are you still like this?"

"Hehe." The old doctor chuckled and then slowly said, "Don't worry. I've taken a look. Although this cage is difficult to break with external force, you still have a chance while trapped inside. The black mist on it suppresses the soul, but it is extremely cold and yin. The strange fire is the most yang and intense thing in the world. You still have a chance."

"Teacher, you mean...?"

The old doctor nodded slowly, then said, "Give it a try. You now have the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Sea Core Flame within you. If you succeed, breaking this cage will be no problem."

Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed. Fusion with a different kind of fire, huh...?

Perhaps sensing Xiao Yan's concerns, Yao Lao said, "Hehe, although this fighting technique was developed by your senior brother, you still managed to use it without any serious incident last time. I believe you can do it too, little guy."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Yao Lao's encouragement, Xiao Yan felt a surge of excitement. He nodded, then glanced at Protector Wu in the distance before the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame on his body shrank back into his body.

"Huh? What's this kid up to?"

Seeing Xiao Yan withdraw the strange fire from his body, Protector Wu narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Xiao Yan's actions.

Xiao Yan spread his hands out, and two flames, one green and one blue, emerged from his hands.

"Two kinds of strange flames!"

When Protector Wu saw the strange fire in Xiao Yan's hand, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but he restrained himself very well.

"call......"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, then used his soul power to control the two strange flames in his hands, carefully bringing them closer to his body.

As Xiao Yan moved, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Sea Core Flame in front of him kept repelling each other, but fortunately, Xiao Yan had a strong control over the strange flames and kept controlling them to get closer.

As Xiao Yan's hands approached, the two strange flames intertwined and slowly merged together.

"Fuse with a different kind of fire!"

Protector Wu watched Xiao Yan's actions with a look of surprise in his eyes. Only those with high strength knew how terrifying a rare treasure like a strange fire was, but now it was slowly merging together under Xiao Yan's control.

"It's done!" Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he looked at the palm-sized fire lotus in his hand.

Immediately, Xiao Yan looked up at Protector Wu in mid-air, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

ps.

I know that Xiao Yan has been featured a lot in the recent chapters, but this is a side story that can't be omitted. After all, Yao Lao might be leaving the story soon, so it has to be described, right?

As for whether Xiao Fan will appear in the Yunlan Sect instance, having seen this far, based on the clues above, what do you all think?

Chapter 60 The Death of the Dou Zong

"go with!"

Xiao Yan glanced at Protector Wu not far away, a playful smile flashing in his eyes. Then, to Protector Wu's astonishment, he threw the Brilliant Fire Lotus in his hand into the black curtain in mid-air.

call out!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the azure-blue fire lotus, like an exquisite porcelain piece, rapidly approached the edge of the black cage that obscured the sky.

Finally, before everyone's eyes, the Fire Lotus, just as it approached the darkness, unleashed a powerful shock from within, instantly shattering into countless fragments. The surging flames spread outwards in an instant, crashing against the darkness.

A scorching aura burst forth instantly, spreading outwards.

"Click...click...click..."

As the fire lotus exploded, the eight pitch-black chains in mid-air trembled continuously, and thick black mist emanated from the chains, spreading towards the cracks in the black curtain in an attempt to repair the cracks.

However, as the strange fire swept through, the black mist gradually melted away at the fastest speed.

Wow!

As the strange fire burned, Xiao Yan could clearly sense that the darkness was gradually thinning under the impact of the strange fire.

"how come!"

Feeling the black curtain tremble and sway precariously, Protector Wu's face showed surprise. He never expected that this kid could actually break the secret technique that the Palace Master had discovered.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the black cage in the sky finally collapsed under the impact of the exploding fire lotus.

"Shh!"

The moment the black cage shattered, wind and thunder power surged beneath Xiao Yan's feet, propelling him directly out and landing opposite Protector Wu.

"Damn boy!"

Protector Wu stared at Xiao Yan in mid-air with a sinister expression. He reached out and grabbed, and from within the dark mist behind him, several chains once again attacked Xiao Yan. However, this time the chains carried a chilling killing intent.

Ding!

Upon seeing Protector Wu's attack, a fervent fighting spirit flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Strange flames appeared on his body, and he gripped the Xuan Heavy Ruler, blocking all of Protector Wu's attacks.

As the two clashed, Xiao Yan discovered that Protector Wu was not as insurmountable as he had seemed. With the support of Yao Lao's power, the gap between Xiao Yan and Protector Wu had become extremely small.

Although Xiao Yan's strength was not as great as Protector Wu's, he could still block the way briefly without any problem.

boom!

Having dodged another attack from Protector Wu, Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with a fervent fighting spirit.

"Hmph! Protector Wu? Nothing special."

Xiao Yan watched as Protector Wu kept attacking, a smile playing on his lips as he unleashed his strange fire.

From the exchange just now, Xiao Yan discovered that the Strange Fire seemed to be extremely effective against the black mist on Protector Wu and the others. Every time they came into contact, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that Protector Wu was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the areas where the Strange Fire was concentrated.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Protector Wu's face flushed with anger. He glanced at Yun Shan, who was confronting Jia Xingtian and the others not far away, and said, "Yun Shan, come here!"

"what?"

Upon hearing Protector Wu's words, Yunshan's eyes flashed with doubt. Originally, he thought that he only needed to do his best to hold off Jia Xingtian and the others, and as for Xiao Yan, he should leave him to Protector Wu and the others.

After all, Yun Shan clearly felt the gap between the two of them from the fighting techniques Xiao Yan had just used. Although they were both at the Dou Zong level, Yun Shan did not have any profound fighting techniques to rely on. If he were to fight Xiao Yan again, he would be taking a considerable risk.
