Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"The extreme of wind? The brilliance of the setting sun!"

As Yunshan spoke softly, a long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand and moved towards the top of his head, hanging there.

In the sky, strands of golden energy condensed from the sunlight and then entered the long sword atop Yunshan's head.

As the golden light was added, strands of golden light also appeared on the sword. As time went by, the light on the sword became more and more dazzling, and finally, it even overshadowed the sun in the sky, like a miniature sun hanging above the clouds.

Xiao Yan watched as Yun Shan unleashed a familiar move. Back then, during the three-year agreement, Nalan Yanran had used the same move and was subsequently defeated by him.

"This time, the ending will be the same!"

Xiao Yan recalled the dim light in the Third Elder's eyes after he lost his arm, the ruins of the Xiao family's ancestral land, and his father's disappearance...

Scenes from the past flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and his eyes gradually hardened as he recalled what Yao Lao had once told him.

"The Yunlan Sect is nothing more than a whetstone on your path of cultivation. You are my disciple, the Medicine Venerable, but your final destination is not here."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan gripped the Xuanzhong Ruler tightly, pouring surging battle qi into his hand. As Xiao Yan's battle technique was brewing, the surrounding air became increasingly hot.

"Hmph." Yun Shan looked at the long sword radiating golden light above his head, glanced at Xiao Yan's position, and felt a sense of helplessness.

Although Yunlan Sect is a top-tier power within the Jia Ma Empire, it has no reputation whatsoever on the entire Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, the sect's most advanced fighting techniques are only at the high-level Xuan rank.

The ultimate wind? Although Sunset Radiance can unleash its full power in my hands, it is still somewhat inferior to a level 100 combat skill.

"No matter how powerful the fighting technique is, if the user is not skilled, it will not be able to unleash its full potential."

"Execute him!"

As soon as Yunshan finished speaking, he pointed towards Xiao Yan's location, and the longsword above his head, now dyed golden, shot directly towards Xiao Yan's position.

"call out!"

The speed of the longsword had long exceeded Hai Bodong and the others' perception, and it had already approached Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye. However, Xiao Yan's strength had also reached the Dou Zong level. In response to Yun Shan's attack, Xiao Yan calmly gripped the Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand and swung it towards Yun Shan.

"Flame Devouring Wave Ruler!"

boom!

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the Xuan Heavy Ruler swung forward suddenly, and a scorching aura burst forth, colliding with Yun Shan's longsword.

"boom!"

The violent explosion caused everyone fighting in the Yunlan Sect to stop attacking simultaneously, their eyes filled with horror as they looked towards the center of the explosion.

Even You Ruo and Protector Jiu temporarily stopped their attacks, their eyes scanning the distant battlefield.

Throughout the Yunlan Sect, everyone held their breath, watching the distant battlefield intently, eager to know who had won the battle.

However, as the aftershocks of the explosion dissipated, the azure flames, along with the spreading battle qi, poured down from mid-air like a waterfall, obscuring the scene in mid-air and preventing You Ruo and the others from sensing the aura within.

A scorching aura spread outwards with the battle qi, and even the originally delicate flowers on the Yunlan Sect were dried out by the scorching energy.

"What about Xiao Yan? How is he?"

Perhaps because of the special circumstances at this moment, Hai Bodong and the others abandoned their opponents and gathered around Jia Xingtian and his group.

The elders of the Yunlan Sect did not stop them; instead, they immediately abandoned their opponents and joined Yun Leng.

"Elder, what should we do?"

An elder from the Yunlan Sect looked at Yun Ling with concern and spoke.

They originally thought that they had improved to the level of Dou Huang and could easily suppress other forces within the Jia Ma Empire, but they never expected that the Snake-People Clan would have so many powerful figures, and that Xiao Yan would be able to find so many Dou Huangs to stand on his side.

If Yunshan's strength hadn't already reached the Dou Zong level, and if Protector Jiu hadn't already left a contingency plan in their minds when they received his empowerment, many elders would probably have already fled.

"Shut up, all of you! With the sect leader and the protectors here, what's the panic?"

Yun Leng glared at the elder who had spoken, then pretended to be calm and said.

He then glanced at the place where Xiao Yan and Yun Shan were fighting, squinted his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Upon hearing Hai Bodong's words, Jia Xingtian shook his head slightly, glanced at the crowd gathered around him, and said, "I don't know. The center of their battle is currently raging with power, and we can't sense any aura within it, so we can't determine who will win or lose."

Hearing Jia Xingtian's words, everyone's hearts clenched.

"but......"

"But what? Why can't you just say it all at once?!"

Before Jia Xingtian could finish speaking, Hai Bodong hurriedly interrupted him and said, "..."

Jia Xingtian rolled his eyes at Hai Bodong, who looked anxious, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw Hai Bodong's ashen face. Then he slowly said, "But you have to believe in Xiao Yan's strength. Besides, there's also the Medicine Venerable by Xiao Yan's side. How could a mere Yunshan possibly hurt Xiao Yan?"

Upon hearing Jia Xingtian's words, everyone seemed to wake from a dream and put their hearts back at ease.

Indeed, they were all shocked by the terrifying battle launched by the Dou Zong powerhouse, but they completely forgot that Xiao Yan had also briefly reached the Dou Zong level with the help of the Medicine Venerable, making him comparable to Yun Shan in strength.

Besides, even if Xiao Yan is no match for Yun Shan, with Medicine Venerable by his side, Xiao Yan is unlikely to encounter any mishaps.

So everyone looked up and eagerly awaited the aftershocks of the strange fire slanting in the sky.

As time slowly passed, the aftershocks of the explosion in the sky gradually subsided, and the raging strange fire, having lost Xiao Yan's support, gradually transformed into clusters of green lotuses, disappearing after burning. As the energy gradually calmed down, the scene in the sky gradually came into everyone's view.

"It's Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan won?"

Looking at my somewhat blurry figure in the sky, but the huge Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand, everyone guessed his identity.

Therefore, Hai Bodong and the others cheered, while on the other hand, Yun Leng and the others from the Yunlan Sect showed a helpless expression on their faces and glared at Hai Bodong and his group with resentment.

"wrong!"

Just as everyone was cheering, Jia Xingtian suddenly spoke. Before he could finish speaking, You Ruo in the sky transformed into a colorful line and shot towards Xiao Yan's location.

"Hehehe, you think you can just walk away? It's not that easy!"

At the critical moment, Protector Jiu transformed into a cloud of black mist, blocking You Ruo's path.

"what happened!?"

Seeing the sudden outbreak of battle, Hai Bodong and the others looked at You Ruo and Protector Jiu fighting in mid-air with puzzled expressions.

"That's not Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan is in danger!"

At this moment, Jia Xingtian finally spoke a complete sentence, sending chills down the spines of Hai Bodong and the others.

"What!?"

After listening to Jia Xingtian's words, Hai Bodong and the others stared intently and suddenly realized that the dark figure in the sky was clearly holding one end of the Xuan Heavy Ruler, while Xiao Yan's figure was actually at the handle of the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

But at this moment, Yunshan was clearly still standing in mid-air not far from Xiao Yan!

Chapter 59 Fusion of Different Flames

The mysterious black figure pressing down on the Xuan Heavy Ruler in front of Xiao Yan, along with You Ruo and Protector Jiu suddenly engaging in battle, all seemed to foreshadow something...

Looking at the blurry figures in the distance, Hai Bodong and the others felt a sense of foreboding.

Xiao Yan stared in horror at the mysterious black-robed figure gripping his Xuan Heavy Ruler. If his teacher hadn't warned him, he probably...

Let's go back to the moment of the explosion between Xiao Yan and Yun Shan.

As Xiao Yan felt the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler crush Yun Shan's attack with overwhelming force, a confident smile appeared on his face. He then controlled his power and poured it towards Yun Shan's location.

Now that he is also at the Dou Zong realm, relying on his Earth-rank Dou Technique and the power of his strange fire, Xiao Yan is naturally able to defeat Yun Shan.

Just as Xiao Yan was pressing his advantage and trying to annihilate Yun Shan, Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang out.

"No, retreat quickly!"

As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, before Xiao Yan could react, a jet-black energy shot straight towards Xiao Yan's back.

Fortunately, Yao Lao was there. Although Xiao Yan revealed a weakness, Yao Lao hastily used his powerful soul force to form a wall behind Xiao Yan.

boom!

Although the wall held for only a moment, Xiao Yan took advantage of this brief opportunity to turn around and swung the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand at the attacker.

Then, as everyone saw, Xiao Yan's Xuan Heavy Ruler was easily blocked by the man in black robes.

"Peak of a one-star Dou Zong!"

Xiao Yan sensed a slight pressure from the person in front of him and judged the other party's strength.

"Who are you!?"

Xiao Yan hadn't expected that his opponent would have such a backup plan.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie."

In response to Xiao Yan's question, the black-robed man in front of him let out a piercing laugh. Then, he suddenly swung his hand from his wide sleeve, and Xiao Yan felt a great force coming at him. Using this force, Xiao Yan gripped the Xuan Heavy Ruler and retreated dozens of meters, stopping in mid-air, staring solemnly at the other party and the distant Yunshan Mountain.

"Yao Chen, oh Yao Chen, I never imagined you'd be hiding inside such an ant! It's been such a long search for us! Hehehe..."

The black-robed man in front of him chuckled strangely, then waved his hand, and several pitch-black chains emerged from within the black robe, coiling and approaching Xiao Yan like nimble venomous snakes.

And above these chains, wisps of pitch-black mist swirled, making them look incredibly sinister.

call out!

Xiao Yan easily twisted his head and dodged the first chain, but several chains followed immediately and wrapped around him.

"No, if I'm surrounded, and the enemy joins forces with Yunshan, I definitely won't be able to escape!"

Upon seeing the opponent's familiar methods, Xiao Yan had already guessed their identity. Only someone from the Soul Palace would possess such attack techniques. Moreover, when Xiao Yan sensed the black mist on the chains, he could detect a slight stinging sensation, immediately understanding that the opponent's methods were extremely effective against the soul.

"Three thousand thunders!"
