People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

"Hmph, Dragon King? How laughable!" Elder Qi You sneered with disdain upon hearing this, his voice suddenly rising so high that the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

“I, the Ancient Dragon of the Void, have only ever recognized the Dragon Emperor since the beginning of time! Your so-called ‘Dragon King’ of West Dragon Island is nothing but a minor offshoot of the royal bloodline. How dare he presume to be king? Such a presumption has probably already shortened his lifespan!”

He abruptly changed his tone, his expression becoming even more stern: "You dare to dream of kidnapping and imprisoning the royal bloodline of my Donglong Island? What wishful thinking! Utterly laughable!"

Qi You had already made up his mind, and his expression became even more solemn and resolute. His will to protect Donglong Island and Zi Yan was almost tangible.

He no longer concealed his true intentions, and sternly exposed the truth of the other party's treacherous schemes, every word carrying the unquestionable authority of an elder of Donglong Island.

However, this awe-inspiring shout did not provoke any anger in the burly man known as Xia Ao.

Xia Ao simply stood there expressionless, a hint of knowing indifference even flashing deep in his eyes. To him, this reaction was perfectly normal, even expected.

Every time he came, the elders of Donglong Island would react in the same way; he had become numb to it. It would be strange if anyone were completely unmoved by it.

"Old man Qi You, how have you been?" Xia Ao's voice was low, carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

"Times have changed. Now, my Taixu Ancient Dragon is in pieces, and the people are scattered. Your so-called 'royal bloodline' on East Dragon Island is nothing but a child. How can he compare to our West Dragon Island Dragon King, whose bloodline is legitimate and who can unite people and command the four directions?"

He paused, his tone deliberately provocative: "To be honest, the existence of your Donglong Island is somewhat precarious. Back in the day, when the four islands stood side by side, the other three islands all had royal bloodlines in charge, but you alone had a vacant throne, relying on a bunch of old fogies to maintain appearances. Such 'outliers' would find it difficult to gain genuine recognition within the clan!"

"Whether you approve or not is not for you, the Dragon King of the Three Islands, to judge." Qi You's eyes suddenly widened, his gaze like a quenched blade, instantly piercing Xia Ao.

"I, the Ancient Dragon of the Void, have never distinguished between Dragon Kings of the East, West, South, North, and South! There is only the Dragon Emperor lineage, passed down from generation to generation! Others are not even qualified to enforce the clan rules on behalf of the Dragon Emperor!"

He took a step forward, his aura suddenly surging, his body radiating dragon might: "Today, I want to hear what virtue or ability your 'Dragon King' of West Dragon Island has that dares to boss around my East Dragon Island? Enough nonsense! If you want to touch my East Dragon Island's princess! First, ask this old bone of mine if it agrees!"

"Hehe," Xia Ao saw that his words and threats had failed to sway the other party in the slightest, and instead provoked even more vehement rebuttals, so he simply abandoned his feigned patience, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and his tone became icy and direct:
"Qi You, it seems you're going to refuse a polite offer and then drink a forfeit. I'm here today on orders, not to discuss these old matters with you. Handing over that royal bloodline is your wise move. Otherwise, don't blame us for using every means at our disposal; in the end, we'll likely both perish, and things will be far from peaceful!"

"How arrogant!" Qi You's voice suddenly turned cold and sharp, as piercing as shattered ice.

His face instantly turned grim, as if shrouded in frost. His withered hands slowly clenched, and within his palms, a nearly tangible, boundless energy began to condense wildly, instantly transforming into a deep abyss. Even the surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this terrifying power, remaining stagnant.

Seeing this, Xia Ao let out a cold laugh full of strong sarcasm, his gaze sweeping over Qi You, his contempt undisguised, "Old man Qi You, when it comes to real combat strength, your Donglong Island is only the lowest of the four islands."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone growing increasingly cold: "If my West Dragon Island's Dragon Armor Army were to launch a full-scale invasion, how long could your isolated East Dragon Island hold out?"

Before he could finish speaking, seeing that Qi You had already adopted a posture of not being afraid to fight, a hint of impatience flashed in Xia Ao's eyes, and then he suddenly waved his hand.

The warriors behind him, clad in dark gold dragon armor, immediately stepped forward like wolves and tigers. The clanging sound of their armor rubbing against each other pierced the air, and dozens of powerful pressures, as strong as mountains, instantly erupted, weaving into an invisible giant net. With a suffocating sense of oppression, it pressed down on the entire East Dragon Island like the darkest clouds!
The air seemed to freeze instantly, and even time seemed to be frozen by this sudden chilling atmosphere. All that filled the surroundings was a heart-pounding tension and deathly silence.

Standing alone at the front of the formation, facing a battle array that could instantly crush an ordinary expert, Qi You felt an invisible, immense force pressing down on his heart, as heavy as Mount Tai.

However, his back remained ramrod straight, like a solitary pine tree that would never fall, without the slightest thought of retreating.

His unfathomable eyes calmly swept across the shadowy figures suspended in the void, and finally, like a hawk locking onto its prey, they firmly locked onto the group of bare-chested, muscular, and mountain-like dragon-armored warriors.

Qi You's gaze also hardened and hardened, and a fighting spirit quietly rose in his heart.

"The Dragon Armor Army of West Dragon Island, the Savage Dragon Army of South Dragon Island..." Qi You's gaze was sharp as a knife as he slowly swept over the dozens of figures floating in the void. His voice was low, but it carried a chilling killing intent. "The elite troops of both islands have been dispatched. What a grand gesture, what audacity!"

Before he could finish speaking, his tone suddenly turned stern: "I suppose there must be someone commanding this Barbarian Dragon Army behind it? Since you've graced our East Dragon Island with your presence, why hide yourselves and keep yourselves secret? Come out and let us see for ourselves!"

"Haha, old man Qi You, how have you been! Your eye for talent is still as sharp as ever!" A rough laugh came from the depths of the void, like muffled thunder.

The moment the words fell, the seemingly empty, pitch-black void suddenly rippled, like water rippled after water rippled by a stone.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from the distorted space. He was dressed in simple animal skin, and his skin had a strange pale white hue, which was completely different from the deep purple tone commonly seen on Ancient Dragon Island.

The old man grinned, revealing white but menacing teeth. His tone was familiar yet undisguisedly hostile: "Since you've seen through me, I, Man Yan, will not hold back!"

Clearly, the newcomer was an old acquaintance of Qi You and was by no means a benevolent person.

“Manyan.” Qi You glanced at the old man who called himself Manyan. His voice was still deep, but his expression had become more solemn without him noticing.

The brutal scenes of his past one-on-one battles with these two flashed through his mind. In a one-on-one fight, he might be able to barely handle one of them, but against two, his chances of winning were slim.

However, even though he clearly recognized how perilous the current situation was, Qi You stood ramrod straight, without the slightest thought of retreating.

He is protecting the foundation of Donglong Island, Princess Ziyan, and the hope of the entire Donglong Island. This is something that cannot be retreated from!

Xia Ao glanced coldly at Qi You and Man Yan, who were on the verge of exchanging blows, clearly having no interest in this verbal sparring.

He turned his gaze to Man Yan, his voice low and urgent: "There's no time to waste, act quickly! Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes!"

Before he finished speaking, the dark gold dragon armor on his body suddenly burst out with extremely dazzling golden light, as if a small sun was blooming between the armor.

An overwhelming pressure swept out like a storm, and within the golden light, a deep and powerful dragon roar faintly echoed. The sound seemed to resonate directly in the depths of one's soul, causing the air to vibrate with an unbearable hum. "Dragon Armor Army, heed my command! Bring back the royal bloodline!" Xia Ao shouted sharply, waving his hand fiercely.

"Awooo—!" The numerous dragon-armored warriors behind him let out a deafening roar, their fierce aura surging out like a bursting dam.

In the next instant, their figures blurred and transformed into streaks of golden light, moving with lightning speed and rushing madly towards the depths of Ancient Dragon Island like a rain of arrows. Wherever they passed, space seemed to be torn apart with fine marks.

"Hmph, then let's not delay any longer." Seeing this, Man Yan's face flashed with impatience, and then he gave the order in a deep voice, his voice carrying a wild and untamed quality.

Upon hearing the order, the burly men, shirtless, nodded in unison, their muscular arms clenching into fists.

In that instant of gripping, the skin on their arms rapidly writhed and rolled over, instantly covering them with a layer of pale purple, shimmering metallic scales. Their fingers swelled up, transforming into enormous, chilling dragon claws that radiated a terrifying sharpness.

Their figures blurred as they shot off like cannonballs, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, fearlessly hurtling towards the direction of Gulong Island.

"Don't even think about setting foot on Dragon Island!"

Seeing this, Qi You roared angrily, his voice like a thunderclap, shaking the heavens.

His energy surged wildly and unrestrainedly, as if a towering mountain had suddenly risen from the ground, forming an indestructible energy barrier that crashed head-on into the two surging enemy forces.

Behind him, the warriors of Donglong Island roared and surged forward like a tide, following closely behind Qi You.

Their eyes burned with an indomitable fighting spirit. Each of them pushed their fighting spirit to the limit, transforming it into streaks of light as they fearlessly faced those terrifyingly powerful enemies.

"boom--!!!"

Just as the two forces were about to make contact, the void seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer. The roar of the energy collision exploded instantly, and violent energy shockwaves scattered in all directions, with waves of air churning.

In an instant, golden and purple light intertwined and collided, and a fierce battle broke out, sweeping across the entire sky above Ancient Dragon Island like a raging storm, completely shattering the tranquility.

"Xia Ao! How dare you invade my Donglong Island! Today, your grandpa Hei will teach you a lesson!"

Amidst the fierce battle and deafening shouts, a towering figure suddenly leaped into the air and soared into the sky.

The powerful pressure emanating from the Dragon Armor Army of West Dragon Island crashed against him like a tangible wave, but he seemed oblivious. His face was contorted with rage, and the punches he threw along the way carried the force of a landslide and a tsunami, forcefully repelling several Dragon Armor Army soldiers who were caught off guard.

The figure was like an enraged dragon ready to devour its prey, its target clear, aimed directly at Xia Ao, its voice like thunder, making people's eardrums buzz.

Xia Ao was commanding the Dragon Armor Army's charge when he suddenly sensed a fierce and unparalleled fighting spirit coming from his side and rear. He raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the source of the sound.

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, which always wore a fierce expression, a mocking smirk appeared on his lips, and he curled his lip in disapproval:
"Hei Qing, you brute, you still have that same smug look that begs for a beating! Looks like I didn't beat you enough last time? Since you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep, then today I'll teach you a lesson again!"

Before he finished speaking, a golden light flashed beneath Xia Ao's feet, and his figure moved as fast as a ghost. He abandoned his original formation and took the initiative to meet the black beast that pounced like an angry bear.

Under the intense light, the dark gold dragon armor on his body reflected a cold and sharp luster, and his fighting spirit rose to a new level.

As soon as Hei Qing and Xia Ao clashed, they went all out and fought a battle that shook the heavens and the earth!
Black Qi's fists howled with terrifying force, each punch seemingly containing the immense power to shatter mountains and split rocks, accompanied by a muffled thunderclap, and slammed straight towards Xia Ao.

The force of the punch was so strong that it made Xia Ao's dark gold dragon armor vibrate and sparks fly everywhere.

Xia Ao, relying on the indestructible dragon armor, moved with lightning speed, dodging and weaving amidst the shadows of fists. Purple light swirled around him as he constantly sought opportunities to counterattack through the gaps. His fists and feet clashed, and the collision of their energies caused the void around them to distort, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

On the other side, Qi You's eyes flashed like lightning, and he had already sensed that Man Yan wanted to take advantage of the chaos to break into the core of Dragon Island.

He moved with lightning speed, blocking Man Yan's path like a ghost. "Man Yan, your opponent is me!"

Upon hearing this, Man Yan laughed rather menacingly: "Hehe, long time no see. I am no longer the same as before. You? You are still a bit lacking in skill and are not qualified to stop me."

Before the words were even finished, just as the two auras collided and were about to erupt into a tremendous collision, a strange ripple appeared in the void in front of Qi You without any warning.

A figure in purple robes stepped out from the ripples; it was none other than Zhu Li, the Third Elder of Donglong Island.

With his back to Qi You, his sharp eyes were fixed on Man Yan.

However, the voice clearly reached Qi You's ears, carrying an imposing and majestic air: "Qi You, step back first. You are no match for this old man."

He quickly shifted his focus, scanning the periphery of the battle, and added, "Now that the people from the Southwest Islands have shown up, there's no reason for North Dragon Island to remain inactive. Go and provide support from the side, paying particular attention to the people from North Dragon Island. Those guys are experts at finding loopholes; don't let them take the opportunity to infiltrate Dragon Island."

Qi You frowned slightly. Although she was unwilling, she knew that the Third Elder would not joke about this matter.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his resentment, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, Third Elder."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed like lightning, retreating to the flank of the battlefield. He immediately went on high alert, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings, constantly vigilant for any unforeseen events. (End of Chapter)
