Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

It doesn't matter that he died; his father can certainly confirm that he poisoned him.

Little Fairy Doctor was naturally not afraid of that Dou Huang, but since it was her first time facing a Dou Huang and she was only at the Dou Wang level, she was still a little wary.

But then Little Fairy Doctor thought again that she was already immortal and indestructible, so there seemed to be nothing to fear.

With the divine sword in hand, even killing enemies across vast realms would be no problem.

……

Outside Black Seal City, some people hurriedly retreated along the path, especially those who had successfully bid for the treasures they wanted, who dared not linger for even a moment.

There is no order in the Black Entanglement Domain. Even if you win an item at auction, it doesn't necessarily mean it's yours. You still need to successfully leave this place and return to a safe area.

This is especially true for the forces that bought the Imperial Pill and were preparing to withdraw from the Black Scream Domain.

The strongest among them was only a Dou Wang, while the hunters who coveted the Huangji Pill included quite a few Dou Huangs.

Escaping from these Dou Huangs is no easy feat.

"Which way to go?"

When the group reached a fork in the road, they hesitated. One road was shorter, but it was easy for them to be overtaken.

The other route is a long detour and not very easy to travel.

"Let's split up and distract those guys. Senior brother, you take the Royal Extreme Pill and go down the side path, we'll go down another road."

Without much hesitation, one of the Battle Kings offered his suggestion, even though choosing this path would make him a target, he couldn't care less.

"...Okay, I understand. Take care, junior brother."

Hearing what the Fighting King next to him said, the Fighting King holding the Imperial Pill remained silent for a moment and did not say anything.

Facing those Dou Huang powerhouses, having one more Dou Wang made no difference to them; they had already prepared themselves mentally before coming.

"Senior brother, you must bring the Imperial Extreme Pill back to the sect safely and give the pill to Master."

"Only in this way can our sect have a glimmer of hope."

Before parting ways, this Battle King took a deep breath, seemingly prepared to give his life to cover for him, which is why he uttered those words.

For them, the Imperial Pill was not just about raising their master's Douhuang strength by one or two stars; it was also related to the sect's fate in the martial arts competition with another force a few years later.

"Even if it means death, I will bring it back to my master."

"That's good!"

Upon hearing this answer, the man no longer hesitated and led a few people to turn around and flee down another road, even deliberately leaving some traces along the way.

"Walk."

The others also broke their silence and quickly moved towards the path.

However, trouble came faster than expected. The people behind did not catch up immediately, but someone had already prepared an ambush.

Those forces had already arranged for people to wait in all the possible places along the route before the auction even ended.

So when they had been moving for a short while and arrived at a desolate mountain, a large number of arrows suddenly shot at them from the surrounding cliffs.

These hidden arrows were extremely lethal, even if they reacted immediately and used their fighting spirit to protect themselves, or used their weapons to block them.

However, some disciples who were not strong enough were shot and killed on the spot.

"Not good, there is an ambush."

"Everyone, be careful!"

After realizing what was happening, the leader of the Fighting Kings immediately reminded everyone and quickly formed a defensive formation with the surrounding disciples.

At the same time, he looked around warily, especially at the place where the arrows had come from, and shouted loudly.

"Who are you people? How dare you kill my Huanggu disciples? Aren't you afraid of starting a war?"

"What Huanggu? I've never heard of it. It must be some unknown force."

"Even if you really have strength, this is the Black Strain Domain. Countless important figures have died here. What are you compared to them?"

As an incredibly arrogant voice rang out, the forces lying in ambush there no longer needed to hide.

So he just openly and honestly jumped out.

However, they also do not have any Dou Huang (Battle Emperors), only a few Dou Wang (Battle Kings), and the rest are Dou Ling (Battle Spirits) and Da Dou Shi (Great Dou Masters)...

"You are... people from the Earth Flame Sect."

Upon seeing the enemy appear before them, one of Huang Gu's disciples recognized him, and his face turned extremely ugly.

However, one thing that reassured them was that although these guys in front of them were not simple, none of them were Dou Huang level experts.

At most, he would be at the peak of the Dou Wang realm, with the strength of a nine-star Dou Wang.

This already put them under a lot of pressure, as they were inferior to them in both numbers and fighting strength.

"Looks like you do have some insight, knowing that we come from the Earth Flame Sect!"

"Since that's the case... if you know what's good for you, hand over the Imperial Supreme Pill, no, everything you have on you, and I might spare your lives if I'm in a good mood, otherwise..."

The people from the Earth Flame Sect didn't care at all that their origins had been recognized; they simply carried their weapons and approached them step by step.

Although he said he might consider sparing his life, his behavior didn't seem to match his words at all.

The most fatal mistake is to naively believe that the enemy will show mercy while in the Black Torture Domain.

"Impossible. If you want what we have, let's see if you have the ability to do so."

Although they are currently outnumbered and outmatched, Huang Gu's people are not afraid. As long as there is no overwhelming opponent, they still have a chance.

"Then there's no other way. Go, kill them all."

Upon hearing this, the people from the Earth Flame Sect stopped talking and attacked simultaneously after closing the distance.

The two sides quickly clashed, exchanging blows and displaying extraordinary strength.

However, it wasn't long before the people of the Di Yan Sect realized that they couldn't quickly resolve the battle, and they also became anxious.

They weren't the only ones eyeing the Imperial Elixir; other forces were also involved.

They were just lucky to be able to ambush them here at the first opportunity. If they couldn't end the battle quickly, it would be disadvantageous for them if other forces arrived.

Thinking of this, the several Dou Wangs of the Di Yan Sect no longer held back and directly brought out their most powerful trump cards.

"Flaming Fiend Palm!"

The leading Dou Wang directly used a high-level Xuan-rank Dou Technique to attack Huang Gu's Dou Wang in front of him.

Huang Gu Dou Wang reacted immediately and used his trump card fighting technique to counterattack. However, his strength was obviously inferior to his opponent's, and he was directly knocked away and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Junior brother!"

Seeing his junior brother seriously injured, and losing a Dou Wang at this crucial moment, the senior brother, who was desperately holding off the attack of two Dou Wangs, also became anxious.

However, his opponent seized the opportunity and struck him with their strongest fighting technique, turning the Huanggu disciples, who were barely able to hold on, into the worst possible situation in an instant.

Chapter 33: Hold me firmly in your grasp, and all your dreams will come true.

"Even if I die, I will never hand over the elixir to you."

Seeing his fellow disciples being cruelly murdered by the people of the Earth Flame Sect, the leader of the Fighting Kings, Che You, could no longer tolerate it.

At this point, it became clear that they could not possibly bring the Imperial Pill back to the sect alive. Since that was the case, they no longer had any reservations.

Even if it means death, I won't let them get away with it...

He took out a scarlet pill and swallowed it directly. The unbearable pain in his body disappeared, and instead, his fighting spirit increased dramatically, bringing his strength directly to the half-step Dou Huang level.

However, the price he paid for all of this was extremely fatal; he completely overdrawn his life force.

"What? A half-step Dou Huang!"

The members of the Earth Flame Sect, who were originally confident of victory, changed their expressions instantly upon sensing the intensity of the battle aura emanating from the person before them.

Unexpectedly, the other party had such a trump card, causing them to hesitate for a moment.

Although he was only a half-step Dou Huang, he was still someone they couldn't handle.

"Don't panic, everyone. He only broke through to the half-step Dou Huang level by overdrawing his life force with pills. He can't hold on for long."

Seeing that the people around him instinctively stepped back, the Dou Wang of the Di Yan Sect hurriedly said loudly, "Such pills are not uncommon, but no one will take them unless they are about to die."

Even if we survive the crisis, we don't have much time left to live.

"If we all work together, as long as we can hold him off for a while, once the effects of the drug wear off, he'll be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter!"

"Then let's see if you can hold out until the effects of my pill wear off."

Feeling the surging battle qi within his body, Huang Gu, the Battle King, roared and charged forward, determined to take several Battle Kings with him even if it meant his own death.

Faced with the attack from the half-step Dou Huang, the experts of the Di Yan Sect quickly joined forces to defend and barely managed to hold off the attack.

Not long after, due to his reckless fighting style, several Dou Ling and one Dou Wang were killed in succession.

After an unknown amount of time, the effects of the elixir wore off, and Huang Gu Dou Wang, who was like a war god, instantly lost his strength and collapsed to the ground.

The surviving Dou Wang of the Di Yan Sect breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene before him.

"Looks like we won in the end!"

He didn't approach immediately, but instead cautiously charged up his battle qi from a distance to kill the already weakened Huanggu Battle King.

After confirming that the other person was beyond dead, he stepped forward, took the storage ring from the person's hand, and then found their main target inside.

"Hahahaha! The Imperial Extreme Pill, in the end, still fell into the hands of my Earth Flame Sect."

Upon opening the box and seeing the perfectly intact Royal Ultimate Pill inside, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Although the men ambushed here suffered heavy losses, it was all worth it as long as the elixirs were obtained. If the Sect Master's strength could break through by one or two more stars, the power could continue to expand significantly.

"Clean up the mess and leave immediately. The other forces should be arriving soon."

Elder Xing Nu of the Di Yan Sect carefully put the Imperial Extreme Pill into his storage ring. Seeing that the disciples around him were all seriously injured, he dared not linger any longer.

The commotion here has certainly alerted other forces, and their situation is not optimistic. If other forces arrive, they will be no match for them.
