Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Upon hearing Gu He's words, Yun Yun said decisively, "Impossible. Medusa's strength is not enough to destroy the strange fire. Let's go in and search carefully!"

At that moment, two streaks of light flew in from outside the temple; they were Feng Li and Yan Shi.

Yan Shi looked at Gu He, recalling the terrifying aura from just now, and said with lingering fear, "Old He, what... happened just now?"

"It's the scent of Medusa, but it seems to have failed."

"Failed? That's good. That aura was too terrifying." Upon hearing this, Yan Shi exchanged a glance with Feng Li, feeling a sense of relief.

"Now what?"

Feng Li glanced at the numerous snake-people below, as well as Mobas and Yue Mei, who were staring intently at them from a distance, and frowned as he spoke.

Gu He glanced at the Snake-People in the distance and knew that they dared not come up forcibly only because they were wary of his Dou Huang. Otherwise, with their three Dou Wangs, they would not have been able to delay for so long.

Moreover, the surrounding snake-people powerhouses were subtly forming a circle, attempting to encircle them and wait for more snake-people powerhouses to arrive as reinforcements. At that time, they could use a few Dou Wangs to hold off their own Dou Huangs while the rest surrounded and attacked the other Dou Wangs. This was entirely feasible.

Just then, the aura of another Dou Wang (Battle King) came from afar. A figure shrouded in fiery red Dou Qi (Battle Aura) had not yet arrived, but his voice had already reached them.

"Damn humans, how dare you invade the territory of my snake-people race! None of you will leave here!"

"This person is the leader of the Flame Serpent Tribe, one of the eight major tribes of the Serpent People. His name is Flame Thorn. He has an extremely fiery temper and his strength ranks among the top in the Serpent People. During the war between the Serpent People and the Gama Empire, he killed many human powerhouses. He is an extremely troublesome figure." Looking at this suddenly appearing living person, Feng Li said helplessly.

Seeing that the number of powerful members of the Snake-People race was increasing, Gu He said helplessly to everyone, "After the light barrier breaks in a while, we will go in and investigate. Once we find the Strange Fire, we will leave immediately after obtaining it. If we cannot find it... then we will retreat."

Hearing Gu He's words, Yan Shi and Feng Li breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Gu He would want to stay here and die. Although Gu He offered a high price, once surrounded by the snake people, they might lose their lives. No matter how high the price was, it couldn't withstand not being able to spend it!

The latecomers, Yan Ci, understood the situation after hearing Yue Mei and Mo Bass's explanation. For the sake of the bigger picture, they had to suppress their temper, their eyes blazing as they glared at the group opposite them. If it weren't for the suppression of the Dou Huang, they would have already swarmed forward and captured Gu He and his group.

The air was thick with silence, even a sense of oppression, as the two sides faced off. Then, with the shattering of the purple light barrier, Gu He and Yun Yun immediately rushed towards the small island in the middle of the lake, still shrouded in mist.

"Damn it, where's the strange fire? It's not here!" Landing on the small island in the middle of the lake, looking at the barren landscape, Gu He roared in frustration.

Yun Yun landed on the scorched earth of the small island in the lake, casually picking up a charred, multicolored scale struck by lightning. Her tone held a hint of curiosity. "Could it be... she really failed?"

Medusa and Yun Yun were both Dou Huang powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Clan, respectively. To be precise, they were both female Dou Huang powerhouses. One was the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, commanding the entire sect, while the other was the queen of the Snake-People Clan, bearing the fate of the entire race. Both were also known to the world for their beauty, and naturally, they were attracted to each other. However, what they saw with their own eyes was only a handful of black scorched earth.

Feng Li swept his hands, unleashing countless tiny wind blades that repelled the numerous snake-people attempting to reach the island. His tone was slightly urgent. "If you can't find the strange fire, retreat quickly! I can already sense that more powerful members of the snake-people are on their way."

Glancing at the barren island, Gu He glared hatefully at the snake-people, and could only helplessly say, "Since that's the case, let's retreat!" He then turned and prepared to fly towards the outer perimeter. Just as he turned, a faint commotion arose from the snake-people in the distance. Gu He looked over and saw two dark figures, each holding a wisp of blue flame, fleeing into the distance.

"Damn it! Someone actually stole the peaches."

Gu He roared angrily, and then his huge wings of battle qi flapped, propelling him towards Xiao Fan and the other person. Yan Shi and Feng Li followed closely behind him.

At that moment, Yue Mei, Mobas, Yan Ci, and their group blocked Gu He's path. Following them was the Serpent Clan army.

Guhe watched anxiously as the two black dots shrank on the horizon. Not wanting to continue entangled with them, he summoned a pale blue flame in his hand and swung it fiercely at the three of them.

"Get out of my way!"

Of the three, Yan Ci stared at the flames Gu He unleashed, his slender eyes filled with killing intent. "Hmph! When it comes to alchemy, Gu He, you are indeed unmatched, but when it comes to combat strength, you'd better stay out of the way!"

As he spoke, a burst of blazing flame shot out from his hand, easily deflecting Guhe's attack.

Gu He was forced back several steps by Yan Ci's attack. He was both anxious and angry. If he waited for the little thief who stole the strange fire to disappear completely, it would be a pipe dream to find his trace again.

Just as Gu He was about to make another move, Yun Yun appeared beside him, looking at Yan Ci and his group opposite him, and casually said, "Leave the three of them to me, you guys continue to pursue the strange fire."

Gu He glanced at Yun Yun, nodded, and then continued chasing after Xiao Fan in the direction he had disappeared, along with Yan Shifengli.

Yan Ci and his group tried to stop them, but Yun Yun's figure blocked their way, her lips slightly parted. "You should stay here!" Yun Yun gently pressed her palm down, and a wind-elemental shield blocked the three of them in place.

Chapter 67 Using the Buddha's Wrath Lotus in front of Xiao Yan

Yun Yun, remaining in place, remained remarkably calm even when facing the combined attack of three Dou Wangs. However, she was unable to inflict fatal damage on any of them. Whenever she aimed a fatal blow at one of them, the other two would briefly share some of the damage, making Yun Yun's attacks slightly less effective against them.

"The snake-people's combined formation is quite interesting."

It's not that Yun Yun can't kill these people, but forcibly killing them would come at a price, which isn't worthwhile. Besides, killing these Dou Wangs would only earn her the Snake-People's resentment of never giving up, and there would be no benefit in it, so it's not worth the risk.

Just as Yun Yun was fighting them, she sensed a presence in the distance and murmured, "Two more Dou Wangs have arrived."

The combined attack of five Battle Kings and the Snake-People tribe was somewhat troublesome even for her.

"Looks like I have to go too."

She had stayed here to create opportunities for Gu He and the other two to pursue them. Now that the opportunity had been seized, it wouldn't be worthwhile to stay and engage in pointless fighting. With that in mind, Yun Yun slightly raised her hands.

"Wind and Rain!"

A huge circular wind array formed overhead, enveloping Yue Mei and the other two. Just as the three were on high alert, Yun Yun flashed and broke through their encirclement, leaving behind only a slightly playful voice.

"I lied to you."

The three, having been tricked by Yun Yun, couldn't contain their anger. They sped off into the distance. "Chase!"

Under the azure sky, the sun made the air scorching hot. Two figures flew across the sky, creating a huge wind pressure that left two large sand marks in the desert. Not long after, three more figures flew across the sky, their fierce aura covering the two marks on the sand and turning them into an even wider mark.

As soon as the three figures flew away, another figure swiftly swept past, the wind pressure created by this single person being even deeper than the sand trails left by the three before. Following closely behind, five more figures flew across the sky, repeating the cycle without ceasing.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan flew through the sky, occasionally taking out two Qi-restoring pills from their storage rings and swallowing them. Glancing at the five people relentlessly pursuing them behind them, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, how come these people are catching up again!"

Xiao Fan smiled at him, his tone mocking. "You stole the strange fire that others had worked so hard to obtain, daring to pluck the peach from a Dou Wang. Of course, others won't let you off the hook."

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, panting, and said, "If we're talking about picking the peaches, even if we hadn't arrived in time, you should have succeeded, right, Senior Brother?" Seeing that Xiao Fan had slowed down slightly to accommodate him, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. "I don't know how you cultivate, Senior Brother. I'm only able to reach this level by using Master's power. It's also because my own cultivation level is too low; otherwise, I would have left them behind long ago."

Xiao Fan smiled, then looked at Xiao Yan, a mischievous urge stirring within him.

"Junior brother, watch me teach you a move!"

Immediately, purple flames and bone spirit cold flames appeared simultaneously in Xiao Fan's left and right hands.

Seeing the different flames in Xiao Fan's hands, a look of shock flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Even Yao Lao poked his head out from behind Xiao Yan, looking at the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in Xiao Fan's palm with a shocked expression.

Under the horrified gazes of the two, Xiao Fan's left and right hands gradually moved towards the center. Seeing Xiao Fan's movements, Yao Lao's eyebrows involuntarily twitched, and Xiao Yan screamed in shock.

The old doctor had warned him about the ferocity of the strange fire. Although he didn't know why his senior brother had mastered the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the contact between the two strange fires would definitely cause an explosion. However, seeing his senior brother's confident demeanor, Xiao Yan suppressed his doubts. Meanwhile, the old doctor was secretly preparing his power, intending to intervene and save his reckless disciple when he did something foolish.

As the two stared in astonishment, the purple flame and the bone spirit cold flame in Xiao Fan's hand slowly merged. The aura emanating from them caused Xiao Yan's gaze to shift from shock to admiration. He even murmured, "So, strange flames can be used like this?"

As Xiao Fan merged with the lotus, a purple-white lotus appeared before Yao Lao and Xiao Yan. Looking at the terrifying aura emanating from this deadly lotus, even Yao Lao wanted to pry open his disciple's head to see how he came up with such a move that no normal person could conceive of.

"Go! Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!"

With a loud roar, the fire lotus in Xiao Fan's palm flew towards the three people behind him, amidst the shocked and admiring gazes of Yao Lao and Xiao Yan.

"Watch out!" Seeing the lotus flower radiating deadly light flying towards them, Gu He and the other two were immediately alerted and released their defensive battle aura together.

boom!

With a violent explosion, a mushroom cloud rose behind Xiao Fan and his companion. Even Xiao Fan himself, who had unleashed the power, was startled by the immense shock. After all, this was the first time he had released such a terrifying Buddha's Fury Lotus with the strength of a Dou Wang.

After the smoke from the explosion cleared, Gu He and the other two could not hide the shock on their faces and continued to chase after Xiao Fan and his companion ahead. However, their speed gradually slowed down, as if they were afraid that another lotus flower would be thrown out from ahead.

"Holy crap, that's incredibly powerful!" Xiao Fan exclaimed in disbelief while still flying. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yan and Yao Lao staring at him as if he were a monster.

Just as Gu He and his companions continued their pursuit, the light dimmed, and Yun Yun arrived beside them, saying, "Let's split up. There are powerful snake-people behind us; five Dou Wang level experts have already gathered. They can fly very fast in the desert."

Gu He hesitated for a moment. "That strange fire..."

"I'll go after the guys ahead. You guys split up and meet up again once we get out of the desert."

"Okay, then we'll meet in Rock City after we leave the Tagor Desert."

The three of them exchanged a glance and parted ways there, heading towards the edge of the desert.

Shortly after the three disappeared, five streaks of light quickly arrived at the scene, officially pursuing the group of Snake-Man Kings.

"They separated here." Yue Mei looked at the sand marks where they parted, sensed them slightly, and turned to the others to say. "What do we do?"

"Yan Ci and I will continue pursuing the Dou Huang ahead. Mo Bass, you pursue the other Dou Wangs who have escaped," a snake-man in a gray robe said with a gloomy expression. He looked quite old, his face covered with wrinkles, and he was extremely prestigious among the snake-men. Even Yan Ci, who had an explosive temper, did not contradict him.

"Elder Yin, you and Yan Ci are no match for that Dou Huang," Mo Bass said hesitantly regarding Elder Yin's arrangement.

"Don't worry, we won't confront him head-on. We'll leave markers along the way, and when Nan She and the others catch up, we'll join them. Even if he's a Dou Huang, he won't have a good time," Elder Yin said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

“Alright!” Yue Mei and another snake-man expert nodded, and then chased after Gu He and the other two in the direction they had fled.

Yin Lao and Yan Ci, who remained behind, exchanged a glance and then chased after Yun Yun.

"Let's go, Flame Thorn. I've fought against three Dou Huangs from the Gama Empire before. Once we fight, we can confirm their identities. Even if they escape, we can still get our revenge on their forces later."

Chapter 68: My favorite is Yunzhi.

Just as Xiao Yan had shaken off the three Dou Wang experts following behind him thanks to Xiao Fan's Buddha's Fury Lotus, he hadn't been happy for long before he sensed the rapidly approaching aura from behind.

"Damn it! That Dou Huang expert has caught up."

Taking advantage of a break in flight, Xiao Yan glanced back and saw a figure shrouded in a black robe. As he watched them rapidly approach, he couldn't help but curse.

Xiao Fan also glanced back, looking at Yun Yun wrapped in a black robe. A trace of longing flashed in his eyes, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

We can't catch up now; there are still two Snake-Man Clan Battle Kings behind us. Let's fly a little further and put them some distance away.

Xiao Fan knew, of course, that it was impossible to shake off the Snake-People Clan's Dou Wang right now. The desert was the Snake-People Clan's territory, and they were much more familiar with it than he was. After greeting Xiao Yan, Yao Lao took over Xiao Yan's body, and the speed instantly increased significantly.

Yun Yun, who was chasing behind, looked at the two people ahead who had suddenly accelerated, a hint of surprise flashing across her beautiful face. "This speed is almost comparable to some Dou Huangs..."

Immediately, Yun Yun's figure accelerated, swiftly flying through the air. As she disappeared into the distance, she left behind several afterimages, as if she were still in the same spot. With her flight, several afterimages of her remained in the sky for a few breaths before quietly vanishing.

"Why didn't I know there were such powerful figures around the Tagor Desert? If it weren't for my 'Wind and Shadow' movement technique, I might not have been able to catch up with them." Looking at the two dark figures ahead, Yun Yun's eyes flashed with curiosity.

Xiao Fan calculated the distance between the two flying ahead and felt it was about right. He then turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Junior brother, you go first. I'll stay here and hold off this Dou Huang."

"What? Impossible!"

Xiao Fan had barely finished speaking when Xiao Yan rejected him.
