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

Qi Yougang had just been dispatched to the flank to guard against a possible sneak attack from Beilong Island when Elder Zhuli's gaze pierced through the smoke of battle and locked firmly onto a distorted void in front of him.

There, a figure was slowly solidifying.

The newcomer's skin, which was originally grayish-white, now looked as if it had been drenched by an active volcano. Deep purple dragon scales were spreading and bursting out from under his skin at a speed visible to the naked eye! The muscles in his arms bulged and stretched rapidly, transforming into two sharp dragon claws that gleamed with a cold metallic light.

In just a few breaths, he had completely transformed, with a dragon's head and a human body, dragon arms and claws. A ferocious and terrifying half-dragon form had taken shape, and the fierce aura emanating from his body was almost tangible, making the air thick and scorching.

The moment its form was completely stabilized, a ferocious and overwhelming aura, far surpassing anything before, erupted from within the Savage Rock like a volcanic eruption, spreading wildly.

This force was so strong that it distorted the surrounding space, causing it to ripple like the surface of water after a stone has been thrown in, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

"It's been many years, Elder Zhuli, how have you been?" Manyan's eyes, now replaced by dark purple dragon pupils, gleamed with a cruel light. He grinned, revealing a malicious smile to Zhuli. "So it seems you've actually crossed the threshold of Dou Zun? Interesting, very interesting!"

Before he finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard! The space beneath his feet rippled violently, as if it were about to be crushed.

His figure, however, was like a dark purple lightning bolt tearing through the night sky, and with a "whoosh," he appeared in front of Elder Zhuli in an instant!
On the dragon claw, purplish-black energy surged and condensed wildly, carrying terrifying power capable of destroying mountains and the earth, and with a sharp wind that tore everything apart, it fiercely grabbed at Elder Zhuli's face.

"Since you are so impatient, then let this old man carefully consider what kind of methods you have that dare to invade my Donglong Island."

A cold glint flashed in Elder Zhuli's eyes. He held back no longer, and his fighting spirit erupted instantly, transforming into a dazzling light screen to meet the ferocious dragon claw.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

A deafening roar instantly resounded throughout Ancient Dragon Island, and scenes of fierce battles exploded one after another in the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The peaceful tranquility that had just enveloped Ancient Dragon Island was instantly torn apart, replaced by a sky full of wildly intertwined arcs of energy and terrifying shockwaves that scattered and swept everything away.

The elite forces that came from West Dragon Island and South Dragon Island together possessed such formidable combat power that they could crush any first-rate force across the entire Central Continent.

This sudden and overwhelming attack threw Donglong Island into chaos, catching them completely off guard.

However, the heritage of Tung Lung Island is far from ordinary.

After a brief period of chaos, the ancient figures that had been lying in wait emerged one after another. With their powerful strength and rich experience, they managed to stabilize their position amidst the chaos and formed a tense standoff with the invading enemy under the sky.

Outside Dragon Island, shouts of battle shook the heavens, and the roar of fighting spirit intertwined to create a heart-pounding cacophony. The great battle was raging, and danger lurked everywhere.

However, deep within Dragon Island, time and space seemed to be isolated, as tranquil as a paradise. No matter how the flames of war raged outside, they could not ignite even a fraction of this place.

The main hall where Zi Yan was in seclusion was surrounded by a layer of dense energy that was almost tangible. The hall doors were tightly closed, leaving only a deep silhouette that exuded a mysterious aura that kept people at a distance.

In front of the hall, Elders Qingshan and Qingmu stood side by side.

Their expressions were solemn, with an unyielding worry between their brows, but the powerful aura emanating from them was like two ancient and majestic mountains, silent and awe-inspiring, as if any force that came before them would be crushed by their invisible weight.

As the undisputed pillars of Gulong Island, their strength is unfathomable. At this moment, the two of them are the most solid bulwark in this small world, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting Ziyan and the future hope of Gulong Island.

Behind the two, inside the tightly closed hall, one could faintly sense a terrifying energy, as vast as a boundless ocean, slowly surging and settling.

It is not an outward manifestation of restlessness, but rather like a sleeping behemoth, silently accumulating world-destroying power.

This dormant energy harbors boundless explosive power, like a volcano about to erupt, waiting for Zi Yan to perfectly absorb it and complete her metamorphosis of breaking free from her cocoon.

At that time, she will surely shock the entire Ancient Dragon Island with a brand new look, and her fame will be enough to leave a strong mark in the long history of the entire Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Elder Qingshan's long robe billowed in the strong wind, his eyes reflecting the vicissitudes and composure of time. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Alas, what was bound to happen has finally happened. This war has come so suddenly, and we don't know when it will end. We can only hold this place and must not be negligent in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, Elder Aoki nodded solemnly and replied in a deep voice, "It seems that the other three Dragon Island factions have only sent scouts as advance troops. It shouldn't be too critical in the short term."

"Let's hope so," Elder Qingshan sighed softly, his gaze once again falling on the tightly closed palace doors. "Let's hope this storm won't affect Her Highness's cultivation."

……

"Oh!"

In mid-air, two figures suddenly clashed. The moment their fists collided, violent energy erupted like a volcano, forcefully shattering a nearly ten-zhang-wide dark void in space! The two figures separated immediately after their initial contact, each retreating in a disheveled state as if struck by a heavy blow.

“I thought that once I reached the level of a half-saint, I could leave you, old man, behind,” Man Yan retreated several steps, and cracks appeared on his deep purple dragon scales, making them much dimmer. He stared intently at Zhu Li not far away, his voice filled with resentment and solemnity, “It seems I still underestimated you.”

Zhu Li stared at him coldly, his face expressionless. He and Man Yan were already evenly matched in strength, but after Man Yan transformed into a half-dragon form using that strange secret technique, his combat power became even more formidable. Victory would be no easy task.

“Zhu Li, stop,” Manyan said slowly, his tone carrying a hint of persuasion. “Your Donglong Island is the weakest link among the four islands. Now that the other three islands have come, you are in a desperate situation with no chance of winning. You might as well hand over the people obediently, and perhaps you can still save the lives on the island.”

"A desperate situation?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Li sneered and retorted, "If it weren't for the fact that several elders of my Donglong Island had entered the void to cultivate, let alone you, even if the three Dragon Kings came in person, they wouldn't dare to set foot on my Donglong Island so easily!"

“Heh,” Manyan sneered, “Zhuli, you know that’s just a hypothetical situation… If it weren’t for that, Donglong Island would have changed hands long ago.”

Before the words were finished, a light laugh with a hint of mockery suddenly came from the previously silent void.

The laughter seemed to carry a certain pressure, and Zhu Li's expression changed drastically. His gaze sharpened like lightning, locking onto that void: "The people of North Dragon Island... have finally decided to show themselves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the void space suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light, like a galaxy suddenly exploding in the night sky!
The azure light rapidly expanded, transforming into blurry outlines. Immediately afterward, figures riding the azure light, carrying a terrifying and overwhelming aura, broke through the wind and appeared above Dragon Island in an instant. The undisguised pressure, like a mountain range, pressed down fiercely on the battlefield below!

"It seems we're a bit late, but thankfully, the main show isn't over yet." Above the sky, the old man in the green robe, Qing Yan, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the chaotic Ancient Dragon Island below. A faint, slightly mocking smile appeared on his lips, and his tone was calm and unhurried.

"Qingyan!"

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, Zhu Li's heart sank completely. The three Dragon Kings had indeed spared no expense, sending a Half-Saint and two peak Dou Zun experts this time.

After Qingyan appeared, he casually glanced at Zhuli, whose face was gloomy, and nodded slightly with a smile on his lips. Then, his gaze sharply turned to the depths of Dragon Island, and his voice suddenly rose, clearly resounding throughout the entire battlefield:

“Elder Manyan, you can keep Zhuli occupied for a while. As for that young friend with royal blood, I will personally go and ‘invite’ him here.”

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into a swift blue light, as fast as lightning, and he rushed straight towards the depths of Dragon Island!

"Don't think about it!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Li flew into a rage, his eyes blazing with fury. He was about to give chase with all his might when Man Yan snorted coldly and blocked his way.

With a furious swing of its claws, the space seemed to be torn apart like fragile glass, creating a dark rift. The fierce attack, containing terrifying power, was aimed directly at Zhu Li's face.

"Qi You! Go and provide support! Stop these bastards!"

Zhu Li, who was tightly entangled by Man Yan, roared angrily, his voice filled with anxiety and rage, and his eyes eagerly looked at Qi You, whom he had arranged earlier.

At the same time, his fighting spirit surged out like a tsunami, colliding violently with Man Yan's dragon claw, creating a deafening roar!

Sensing the azure light hurtling towards the depths of Dragon Island, Qi You's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He abruptly broke away from the fierce battle, his figure moving with lightning speed, instantly blocking Qing Yan's path like a blur. His voice boomed like a bell.
"Want to trespass on Dragon Island's forbidden territory? You'll have to get past this old bone of mine first!"

Qing Yan's figure was suddenly blocked, and his steps subconsciously paused. He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Qi You, who was blocking his way. His eyebrows rose slightly, and a half-smile instantly appeared on his face:

"Oh? Elder Qi You, this spirit of risking one's life and vowing to protect the island is something I admire quite a bit."

He paused slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the unhealed wound on Qi You's shoulder and the slightly disordered aura around him caused by his distraction in rushing to the aid of others. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Immediately, his gaze drifted discreetly into the distance, where a powerful and rapid aura was hurtling through the air. A playful, teasing tone crept into his voice:

"I just wonder, Elder Qi, are you really capable of stopping me right now?"

"Haha! Old man Qi You, I've finally found you! Today, I'm going to have a good meeting with you!"

No sooner had Qingyan finished speaking than a wild laugh rolled in from the sky, shaking the void.

Almost the instant the laughter subsided, a figure appeared on the battlefield like a shooting star, then steadied himself and coldly blocked Qi You's path.

Qi You glanced at the newcomer and immediately recognized him as a burly man clad in dark gold armor with dazzling golden eyebrows. His face was etched with an innate, faint air of ferocity, and his eyes were sharp as an eagle's.

"Xia Sha, the fourth commander of the Dragon Armor Army on West Dragon Island?"

Upon recognizing this person, Qi You's heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed. Xia Sha's cultivation was roughly equal to his own. If he were to be entangled with her, he would indeed find it difficult to concentrate on stopping Qing Yan.

“Commander Xia Sha,” Qing Yan spoke up at the right moment, nodding slightly to Xia Sha who was blocking the way, and said in a calm tone, “I will leave this place to you.”

He paused, his gaze passing over Qi You and looking directly into the depths of Dragon Island: "This time, I must personally go and invite that young friend who carries royal blood."

Before he could finish speaking, Qingyan didn't even glance at Qi You. With a flicker, he transformed into an even brighter streak of azure light and sped straight towards the deeper part of Dragon Island, his speed so fast that he left only a blur.

Qi You roared angrily, trying to break free from Xia Sha's entanglement to stop Qing Yan, but Xia Sha's attack was like a storm, pinning him firmly to the spot.

His arms were bulging with muscles and veins, but he could only watch helplessly as the blue light flashed and disappeared into the depths of Dragon Island.

However, before Qingyan could travel far, a bolt of lightning so intense it almost distorted the void shot out from the far distance without warning! Its speed was so great that he couldn't even react in time.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning was already several feet in front of him!
Qing Yan's heart trembled violently, and a deadly sense of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body. Almost instinctively, he activated his fighting spirit, condensing it into a cyan light shield.

However, the power contained in that lightning was too terrifying, containing pure destructive intent, and it crashed hard into the light shield.

With a deafening roar, the light shield cracked inch by inch, turning into streaks of light and dissipating.

Qingyan himself was struck as if by a heavy hammer, his body instantly lost control, and he flew backward, drawing a parabola in the void along the way, until he staggered and steadied himself a hundred feet away.

"Pfft..." A mouthful of bright red blood gushed out uncontrollably, staining his chest and turning his face as pale as paper.

"This attack... Damn it! It's definitely at least at the level of a half-saint!" Qingyan clutched his chest, panting heavily, his eyes filled with disbelief and rage as he stared intently at the direction from which the lightning had come.

Although he was already at the peak of Dou Zun, only one step away from being a half-saint, that one step was a world apart!

He knew that if he were to truly face a demigod, he would have no chance of winning and probably wouldn't even last a few rounds.

"Donglong Island... actually harbors such a person?" Qingyan gritted his teeth, his knuckles turning white from the force, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart for the first time.

This surprise attack, which they thought was foolproof, seems to be irreversibly sliding towards getting out of control.
