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

When Zi Yan delivered her impassioned declaration, her voice seemed to carry a tangible power, reverberating throughout the void.

Every member of the Ancient Dragon Clan present, regardless of whether they were friend or foe, felt a jolt in their heart.

Especially on Donglong Island, every soldier was ignited by Zi Yan's resounding words, their morale soaring, their eyes filled with trust and devotion to the new Dragon Emperor, as if they could already see the ancient dragon race rebuilding its glorious future under his new leadership.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the other three Dragon Island allied camps was terrifyingly tense.

Those who had betrayed their clansmen, under Zi Yan's piercing pronouncements, involuntarily lowered their heads in shame.

They did hear it; rather, the sound was like a sharp awl, piercing their hearts.

They felt deep remorse and shame for following those three self-proclaimed Dragon Kings who betrayed their race and instigated internal strife.

These thoughts grew wildly in the minds of the ancient dragon clan members of the Three Islands Alliance, so much so that they found it hard to breathe.

Yes, perhaps the new Dragon Emperor is right.

The ancient Taixu Dragon Clan of the past is now sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire of division.

Dragon Island is divided into four parts, maintaining a false balance on the surface, but in reality, there is constant strife and intrigue.

Today you attack and I defend, tomorrow we deceive and cheat each other. All our minds are focused on internal strife. Have we ever had the slightest thought of working together to move outward and pursue the advancement of our race?

In this situation, let alone regaining its former glory, it would be difficult to even maintain its existing foundation.

Thinking this, many members of the coalition quietly raised their eyes and looked at the purple-gold figure in the void.

Strands of light shone through her outstretched phoenix wings, reflecting flowing golden light at the edges of the feathers, and her upright figure seemed to contain the power to break through chaos.

At some point, the shame in their eyes as they looked at Zi Yan gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable fervor, and even a hint of respect that they themselves were unaware of.

Perhaps, I really should follow this Dragon Emperor?
Perhaps she really can break through this stagnant predicament and lead them to a glimmer of hope?

Once the idea took root, it grew wildly like weeds. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the three disheveled dragon bodies not far away.

Once, he was their superior whom they revered and obeyed, the one in power on Mishima Island.

But looking at it now, one can only feel that the dragon's body, covered in scars, hides nothing but selfish desires for power and profit, and greed that drags the race into the abyss.

A subtle, almost imperceptible sense of disgust had already begun to take root in their hearts.

The three dragon kings' ears were filled with Zi Yan's declaration, each word like a red-hot branding iron, making their dragon bodies tremble.

How could they not see through Zi Yan's intentions? She was using the lives of the three of them as sacrifices, using this public purge to establish her authority, and completely crush any remaining resistance on the three islands, so that the subsequent incorporation would proceed smoothly.

This scheming, ruthless and straightforward, struck right at their most vulnerable spot: power and dignity, which were now being trampled underfoot by Zi Yan.

The Western Dragon King suddenly raised his head, his dragon eyes blazing with thunderous fury: "What a glib-tongued brat! Does he really think he can convict us with just a few words?"

A low growl escaped its throat, “You call us traitors? How laughable! The old Dragon Emperor has been missing for a thousand years, and the elders have all gone out to search for him. The clan is leaderless. Are we to let the lineage of the Ancient Dragon of the Void just disintegrate?”

The Southern Dragon King gritted his teeth, his injured body trembling violently with emotion.
"Although the royal blood flowing in our veins is not as pure as yours, it is still the legitimate lineage of the ancient dragons! Why should you suddenly appear and be able to seize the Dragon Emperor's throne, which should rightfully be inherited by the strong?"

The Northern Dragon King remained silent, but then slowly spoke, his voice carrying a sinister chill:

"Disintegration? If the old Dragon Emperor hadn't been so stubborn and gone on a journey, which led to his disappearance and caused chaos within the Ancient Dragon Clan, why would we have had to start anew? In the end, all of this is the old Dragon Emperor's fault, and now you, a junior, are blaming us? In the end, it's just a matter of the winner taking all and the loser being condemned."

In their view, they had never done anything wrong. With the old dragon emperor gone and the dragons leaderless, it was only natural for them to carve out their own territories based on bloodline and strength.

The ones who were wrong were those ignorant clansmen. The ones who were wrong were Zi Yan, who shouldn't have tried to swallow up their centuries-old foundation just because she had the so-called "Supreme Dragon Phoenix" bloodline.

The dragon claws clenched and cracked in the void. The three dragon kings exchanged a glance, their resolute eyes now tinged with a desperate madness.

Since there is no way to retreat, then let's drag this arrogant junior along and make the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void turn the world upside down!

Before the words were even finished, the three Dragon Kings had already moved!
The massive dragon body twisted violently in the void, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, and shot towards Zi Yan like three black lightning bolts.

The dragon scales rubbed against the chaotic energy flow, sparking a string of sparks. The speed was even faster than when they had joined forces before. It was clear that they had been forced into a desperate situation and had used their last remaining explosive power.

They have now made up their minds to abandon those fancy long-range energy collisions and focus on close combat!

The three had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly, clearly intending to use the opportunity of close combat to completely shut down Zi Yan's space to maneuver.

Previously, they had suffered from her speed and repeatedly missed their catch. Now, in close combat, the three seasoned dragon kings did not believe that with their thousands of years of combat experience, they could not trap a mere junior!
As long as we can drag her into a prolonged fight, the three of us working together will surely find her weakness. Even if it means trading injuries, we will make this arrogant "Dragon Emperor" pay the price!
In the void, three dragon shadows appeared in a triangular formation, their oppressive aura like a tangible dark cloud, instantly enveloping Zi Yan. Even the chaotic energy currents around her seemed to be ignited by this fierce momentum, becoming even more violent and raging.

Zi Yan raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the ferocious postures of the three dragon kings, and the fighting spirit in her eyes suddenly burned fiercely.

How could she not see that her opponent wanted to use close combat to force her into a predicament? But such tricks were futile in the face of absolute power.

With a sudden flap of her Phoenix Wings, golden light particles rained down like a downpour, shimmering like stardust. Her figure transformed into a streak of purple-gold light tearing through the void! Instead of retreating even a step, she charged forward like an arrow, actively meeting the three dragon shadows that were rushing towards her!

In the blink of an eye, the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King pounced from the left and right respectively. The Western Dragon King on the left swung his claws out, crackling with the power of lightning, the claw tip tearing through the void with a force powerful enough to crush stars, aiming straight for Zi Yan's face!

On the right, the Southern Dragon King suddenly swung his long tail, the crimson scales drawing a deadly arc in the air, carrying a foul wind, like a steel whip lashing towards her waist, the attack ruthless, completely sealing off all her room to dodge!

Faced with this deadly attack from both sides, Zi Yan advanced instead of retreating! The ancient dragon scale patterns on her dark purple gauntlets suddenly lit up, emitting a faint purple glow.

Her left arm sank slightly, and her fist slammed out to meet the West Dragon King's dragon claw! The moment the fist shadow tore through the air, it faintly condensed into a roaring purple-gold dragon head phantom, carrying an unparalleled power that could shatter mountains and split rocks, and crashed hard into the thunderous dragon claw!
"clang--!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing resounded, almost making the entire void vibrate! The Western Dragon King felt an overwhelming force surge through his dragon claws, his incredibly hard claw bones feeling as if they were about to break inch by inch, and excruciating pain shot from his fingertips straight to his dragon brain!

The lightning power attached to it instantly dissipated by more than half, and its huge dragon body was unable to control itself and was violently thrown backward for hundreds of feet!

Almost simultaneously, Zi Yan twisted her waist like a serpent, her right arm drew a mysterious trajectory, and her other fist, accompanied by a howling, violent gust of wind, slammed precisely and swiftly into the dragon tail that the Southern Dragon King had whipped out!

Where the gauntlets collided with the scales, an extremely dazzling purple light erupted! An invisible spatial force burst forth from it, like a raging hurricane, penetrating the body and frantically destroying the sinews, bones, and flesh inside the dragon's tail!
"Roar!"

The Southern Dragon King felt a heart-wrenching pain in his tailbone. The powerful whip attack was forced off course, and several crimson scales were even blown off his tail. Crimson blood instantly seeped out, staining the surrounding void red!
In the blink of an eye, she managed to block the fierce attacks from both sides! Zi Yan's figure paused only slightly in the air before a gust of wind rose from behind her. Her Phoenix Wings flapped again, not only stabilizing her figure but also using the momentum to close the distance! Almost instantly, she appeared in front of the Northern Dragon King.

It turns out that this cunning old fox actually wanted to circle around to the rear and launch a fatal sneak attack while she was dealing with attacks from both sides!

Unfortunately, Zi Yan's keen senses had already locked onto his movements, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"Damn it, that's fast!" The Northern Dragon King's heart sank when he saw that his carefully planned sneak attack had been exposed. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed inwardly.

"A sneak attack from behind? That's unworthy of your status as the Dragon King, it only suits your despicable nature!" Zi Yan's voice was as cold as frost, a mocking shout that echoed across the battlefield. "What I despise most is a treacherous villain like you!"

Before she finished speaking, she threw another punch! This time, the purple-gold battle qi condensed on her fist had solidified into a tangible substance, radiating a terrifying power capable of shattering the void. With a violent force that was determined to crush everything in front of her, she slammed it fiercely towards the Northern Dragon King!

The Northern Dragon King originally intended to flank and launch a sneak attack, but Zi Yan unexpectedly struck first, her fist accompanied by a whistling wind that tore through the air, and she was already close in an instant!

His heart sank suddenly. How could he dare to hold back even a fraction of his strength? In haste, he had no choice but to abruptly change direction and cross his arms to protect his chest. The black energy around him surged wildly like boiling ink, attempting to use this hastily assembled defense to withstand Zi Yan's sure-fire attack!
"Oh!"

Zi Yan's fist slammed solidly into the Northern Dragon King's crossed arms. The moment the dark purple gauntlet collided with the churning black energy, it erupted with a dazzling, mesmerizing purple-gold light!

The Northern Dragon King felt an immense force, seemingly capable of easily tearing apart his dragon body, surge into him. Instantly, his arms were wracked with excruciating pain, as if his bones were about to break. His crossed defenses were as flimsy as paper, collapsing inch by inch from this punch!
"puff!"

Its massive dragon body was struck as if by a heavy hammer, and it was sent flying backward by the punch. It spat out a mouthful of black dragon blood and crashed heavily into the energy turbulence behind it before it could finally regain its footing.

At this moment, most of the scales on its arms were broken, and its flesh was a bloody mess. Even the arrogant aura around it had obviously dissipated a lot, indicating that it had suffered a very serious injury.

Zi Yan stood firmly in place, her gaze indifferent as she looked at the Northern Dragon King's disheveled appearance, a hint of coldness flashing deep in her eyes.

Dealing with the pincer attack from the Western and Southern Kings was a matter of seconds, and dealing with the Northern Dragon King's sneak attack did distract him somewhat; otherwise, this punch would have been enough to completely disable it.

Even so, this hasty attack was enough to make the Northern Dragon King suffer greatly and experience her true strength as the new Dragon Emperor!
After a tentative exchange, the real clash erupted instantly. After several fierce battles, a chill ran through the hearts of the three dragon kings, and they became increasingly alarmed.

Zi Yan's attacks were as dense as a storm, each punch landing with tremendous force.

With each flap of the Phoenix Wings that unfurled behind her, golden currents surged forth, always managing to tear through their combined defenses at the most cunning and unpredictable angles.

Although the three dragon kings joined forces to barely hold on, they were always at a disadvantage. More and more new wounds appeared on their dragon bodies, and their dragon blood stained the void beneath them. Their auras became increasingly chaotic and unstable.

If things continue like this, defeat is only a matter of time.

While desperately parrying Zi Yan's fierce punches, the Western Dragon King glanced at his two companions out of the corner of his eye, his dragon eyes filled with anxiety.

He could clearly sense that the dragon power around the Southern Dragon King was not as strong as before, and the aura of the Northern Dragon King was also noticeably thinner.

If this drags on any longer, let alone retaliating, it will be even more difficult to protect ourselves.

escape?
The thought shot into its mind like a poisonous vine, making it restless and unsettled.

But Zi Yan's speed was undeniable; the Heavenly Phoenix Wings moved with a blur of light, chasing the wind and lightning.

They were already at their last gasp, and the chances of them slipping away from under her nose were extremely slim.

Even a sliver of hope is better than staying here and waiting to die!
The Southern Dragon King had obviously thought of this as well. Taking advantage of the moment when he whipped his tail to force Zi Yan back, he secretly gave the Western Dragon King a look, his dragon eyes flashing with struggle and determination.

Only the Northern Dragon King, though struggling to hold on, had a complex look in his eyes that differed from the other two kings.

It seemed to be united with its companions against a common enemy, but its peripheral vision kept glancing towards a certain place in the void, as if it was waiting for something, or perhaps... calculating something.
Seemingly sensing the unusual thoughts in the hearts of the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King, the Northern Dragon King not only did not propose a retreat as the two kings had hoped, but instead continued to resist even more "resolutely" than they did, and even offered words of "dissuasion".

Under the "coercion" of the Northern Dragon King, the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King had no choice but to grit their teeth and risk inflicting new injuries to continue their stalemate with Zi Yan.

However, the already crumbling defenses were now even more precarious. (End of Chapter)
