Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 306

Immediately, Xiao Fan turned around and looked at Jia Xingtian's impending attack. A smile appeared on his lips beneath the black robe. Then, black flames condensed into a short knife in his hand, which he gently swung at Jia Xingtian's claw mark.

"Void Blade!"

With a gentle wave of Xiao Fan's hand, a jet-black blade of light appeared directly in front of Jia Xingtian's claw mark, as if traversing space. The moment the two made contact, a piercing explosion was heard, and surging battle qi spread outwards.

Seeing his attack so easily blocked, Jia Xingtian's face instantly turned serious, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at Xiao Fan with a solemn expression.

On the other side, the pitch-black fire dragon formed from the Chaos Fire roared and circled towards Hai Bodong. The ice crystals on the ice crystal dragon's body were completely burned by the Chaos upon first contact. Hai Bodong's dragon claw tore at the fire dragon, but it had no effect whatsoever. Instead, the ice crystals on the dragon claw were burned and became much more fragile.

Despite repeated attacks, Hai Bodong was unable to break through the fire dragon's obstruction and had no choice but to retreat, revealing his figure with a hint of fear on his face. The last time he encountered such a terrifying opponent was when he fought Medusa. Unpleasant memories flooded back, and Hai Bodong's face darkened even more.

Xiao Yan, who had just left the battlefield, saw that Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian's combined attack had been so easily neutralized by the opponent, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

It should be noted that Jia Xingtian possessed the strength of a peak Dou Huang, only one step away from becoming a Dou Zong. Yet, he was so easily neutralized in front of this opponent. How did this opponent, a five-star Dou Huang, manage to do this?

Could it be another Soul Palace protector?

The opponent has remained silent since he appeared, constantly attacking him with such a clear objective. Could it be that he is after the... Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade on his body?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan instantly made a plan. The only reason a Dou Zong expert would appear at this time with a clear target of attacking him was probably for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

But recalling what the elders of the family had said, the Tuoshe Ancient Jade was the only thing he could use to determine his father’s life or death, so how could he hand it over so easily?

Thinking back to when Yao Lao was captured, and he could only hide behind Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's eyes gradually reddened, and the anger and killing intent that had been suppressed in his heart instantly turned towards Xiao Fan.

With a thought, Xiao Yan unleashed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from his hand, its violent aura instantly appearing beside him and attracting everyone's attention. However, Xiao Yan did not stop; a pale flame emerged from the white flame mark on his forehead, and then two-colored flames appeared around him.

"this......"

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's posture, Hai Bodong knew what he was planning. He instinctively wanted to leap into the sky, but after glancing at Xiao Fan, who was shrouded in a black robe not far away, Hai Bodong suppressed his intentions and continued to hold Xiao Fan back, while keeping a close eye on Xiao Yan's situation.

Two-colored flames appeared around Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, thinking about how the other party had easily neutralized the combined attack of Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong. Xiao Yan grabbed with his left hand, and a light blue, liquid-like flame appeared in his hand as well.

"Sea Heart Flame..."

Xiao Fan watched Xiao Yan's actions but did not stop him. Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian, seeing that Xiao Fan did not make any move, assumed that he was preparing some powerful move to stop Xiao Yan, and they also cautiously guarded the side. Thus, an eerie silence fell over the sky.

The Xiao family members below had been arranged to hide by Xiao Ding and the others from the very beginning, and now that they saw the fire lotus that Xiao Yan was brewing, there was no one left below.

Chapter 4 Revealing Identity

Xiao Yan controlled the three-colored strange fire in his hand, carefully approaching it. Waves of violent and destructive energy gradually spread from it, and a strong sense of repulsion kept squeezing Xiao Yan.

As the strange fire merged with Xiao Yan's body, his fighting spirit and soul power were continuously absorbed into it, causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan already had ample experience in fusing different flames, so the rejection from the flame in his hand did not surprise him. As Xiao Yan's soul power was consumed, the rejection between the flames gradually weakened, and a three-colored fire lotus appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

The three-colored fire lotus floated silently in front of Xiao Yan, emanating a destructive and violent energy. This caused Hai Bodong, who was suffering greatly in the distance, to break out in a cold sweat. He stared silently at the three-colored fire lotus in Xiao Yan's hand, not forgetting how terrifying this thing was.

When Jia Xingtian sensed the aura emanating from the fire lotus in Xiao Yan's hand, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Although he already knew about Xiao Yan's methods, every time he saw them, a sense of absurdity would resurface in his heart. However, when he thought about how Xiao Yan was a disciple of the Medicine Venerable, it all suddenly felt reasonable.

The three-colored fire lotus in his hand gave Xiao Yan a sense of security, and the negative emotions such as anger, killing intent, and resentment that had been suppressed in his heart were gradually released with this battle.

"No matter who you are, this time, I will not let you succeed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan threw the three-colored fire lotus in his hand toward Xiao Fan.

The three-colored fire lotus spread across the sky, burning the space and creating tiny black cracks. As the fire lotus roared past, the spatial cracks that had appeared after being burned were gradually repaired.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan make his move, the first person to react was not Xiao Fan, but Hai Bodong, who was standing some distance away.

Upon noticing Xiao Yan throw out the three-colored fire lotus, and seeing the wisps of black "exhaust" behind it, Hai Bodong immediately retreated, hiding far away in the sky before turning back to survey the battlefield.

Xiao Fan: ......

Xiao Yan: ......

Jia Xingtian: ......

Spectators: ......

Xiao Fan hadn't expected that the Fire Lotus had left such a deep shadow on Hai Bodong, and he couldn't help but regret not having witnessed this scene with Xiao Yan. However, for now, he needed to deal with Xiao Yan's methods first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. The pitch-black Chaos Fire roared out from his hand and transformed into a majestic black fire dragon in mid-air. Looking at the "little one" in front of him, the fire dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the fire lotus containing terrifying energy directly into its mouth. Then the fire dragon's body swelled up as if it was about to burst.

Xiao Fan had anticipated this. He continuously injected his soul power into it, suppressing the energy of the fire lotus. The fire dragon's form shrank again, and the cycle repeated several times. Finally, the fire dragon humanized itself by burping and roaring. The burning chaotic fire seemed to come alive and retreated back to Xiao Fan's fingertip, disappearing from sight.

"Wh...what..."

Seeing Xiao Fan so effortlessly resolve Xiao Yan's Three-Colored Fire Lotus, both Jia Xingtian and Xiao Yan showed a rare look of shock, their gazes towards Xiao Fan as if they had seen a monster.

Hai Bodong, who was hiding far away in the sky, was stunned and almost fell off the sky. Then he stared wide-eyed at Xiao Fan, who was shrouded in a black robe, with a strong sense of inquiry in his eyes.

Xiao Fan was not surprised by this, after all, he only gradually discovered the wonders of the Chaos Fire as his strength increased.

Xiao Fan now understands the meaning of what the powerful figure in that mysterious space once told him: "Don't hide your strengths."

Simply put, as the first flame in the world, Chaos Fire naturally suppresses all other flames. However, the Chaos Fire that Xiao Fan now controls cannot unleash its full power. As long as it continues to absorb energy, the power of the Chaos Fire controlled by Xiao Fan will become even more terrifying.

Theoretically, Xiao Fan could absorb all fire-attribute attacks through Chaos Fire, but he would need to suppress the energy within the fire attribute.

Although the three-colored fire lotus emitted by Xiao Yan was terrifying, in terms of principle, it still couldn't be separated from the three different kinds of fire. That's why Xiao Yan dared to use the Chaos Fire to devour it. He only needed to devour it in the Chaos Fire, and then disrupt the energy balance within it to gradually weaken its power.

However, this method, though it sounds simple, is extremely challenging for Xiao Fan. But Xiao Fan himself knows how to fuse with different flames, so stopping it is naturally easy for him.

However, the others were unaware of this. Seeing how easily Xiao Fan dealt with the three-colored fire lotus that Xiao Yan had unleashed, the expressions on everyone's faces flickered with uncertainty.

However, Xiao Fan had already achieved his goal. He only made a move to see where Xiao Yan's current strength limit was. After all, Xiao Yan was more likely to unleash his full potential when facing an enemy.

Discovering that Xiao Yan's current strength was not weak, Xiao Fan made a plan. Previously, Xiao Yan's strength was low, so Xiao Fan could not tell him many methods to improve his strength. Now that he had stepped into the Dou Huang realm, he had the ability to protect himself, and Xiao Fan was relieved.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan, who was in a daze, and this time he did not hide his identity.

"Alright, stop spacing out, look at you!"

Xiao Fan spoke calmly, taking off his black robe as he spoke. With a hint of apology on his face, he looked at Xiao Yan and said, "I'm sorry I'm late."

"Master... Senior Brother?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan on the distant horizon, a hint of excitement appearing on his face. Then, a sense of panic gradually rose in his heart, and his eyes instantly reddened. He didn't dare to look Xiao Fan in the eye at all.

"I'm...I'm sorry, senior brother, I...I..."

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. In the end, he could only clench his teeth tightly, lower his head, and grip the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, not daring to meet Xiao Fan's gaze.

Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong were also surprised to find that such a formidable opponent was Xiao Yan's senior brother. They looked at Xiao Fan with a hint of astonishment on their faces. However, seeing Xiao Yan's current state, they wisely refrained from interrupting and simply nodded slightly at Xiao Fan.

Looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, Xiao Fan sighed and didn't say much. He simply transmitted his voice to Xiao Ding below, and a storage ring landed in Xiao Ding's hand.

Xiao Fan flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Yan, patted the dust off his clothes, and laughed, "Alright, the dignified leader of the Yan Alliance, do you want to cry in public?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chaos Flame appeared on Xiao Fan's body, enveloping them. When the flame disappeared again, the two figures had vanished from the sky.

Seeing this, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong were not surprised. After all, the two brothers had not seen each other for a long time and had gone through so much. Naturally, they had a lot to say. They did not expect that Xiao Fan, who was only a seven-star Dou Huang back then, had now reached the Dou Zong realm.

Moreover, even when they joined forces, they couldn't hurt each other at all. Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong felt helpless. Could it be that young people these days are all so terrifying?

With a wry smile, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong exchanged a glance before returning to their respective clans.

Meanwhile, at the Xiao family, Xiao Ding looked at the storage ring in his hand and examined the supplies inside. His expression was extremely surprised, but then he smiled and walked into the living room with Xiao Li to discuss something.

Chapter 5: Arranging Everything, Gathering Momentum

Outside the capital of the Gama Empire.

On a secluded hill, dark flames appeared, and Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan appeared there.

Upon appearing, Xiao Yan collapsed to the ground, his eyes bloodshot. He pounded his fists on the ground in front of him, his face full of regret. He recounted the events that had occurred at the Yunlan Sect to Xiao Fan in broken sentences.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's description, Xiao Fan remained silent.

Having resolved the conflict between the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Fan thought there would be no more unexpected events, which is why he went to the Chuyun Empire. However, he did not expect that even though You Ruo's strength had already overwhelmed the Yunlan Sect, two Soul Hall Protectors had appeared in the Yunlan Sect.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt a pang of regret. It was because of his negligence that his teacher was captured by the Soul Palace again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt a surge of anger towards the Soul Palace. With the existence of his system, he refused to believe that he couldn't deal with a mere Soul Palace.

"Alright, the most important thing now is to improve our strength, raise our cultivation level as soon as possible, and go to the Soul Palace to rescue our teacher."

Xiao Fan sighed, looked at Xiao Yan sitting on the ground, walked over, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and slowly spoke.

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded, then said to Xiao Fan, "By the way, Senior Brother, before our teacher was captured, he told me that if we wanted to save him, Venerable Feng of Zhongzhou was someone we could absolutely trust."

"The Venerable Wind..."

Xiao Fan nodded slightly upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, glanced at the Ancient Spirit Cold Flame mark on Xiao Yan's forehead, and then said, "Alright, this time I also found information about another kind of strange flame for you. After we subdue it, I will take you to a place, and then we will immediately set off for Zhongzhou."

"What kind of strange fire?"

Xiao Yan was surprised when he heard Xiao Fan's words. He then asked, "After all, the Burning Technique can only evolve by relying on the strange fire. Although the Burning Technique has now reached the low-level Earth Rank, who would complain that their cultivation technique is of a higher level?"

Moreover, the more strange fire he devours, the faster his cultivation speed will be, the stronger he will become, and the more confident he will be in rescuing his teacher.

"Turtle Spirit Earth Fire!"

Xiao Fan glanced at Xiao Yan and slowly spoke.

"The Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, ranked thirteenth on the Strange Fire Ranking?"

Xiao Yan, who was familiar with the ranking of flames on the Strange Flame Ranking, immediately asked Xiao Fan's question upon hearing his words. Seeing Xiao Fan nod, Xiao Yan's face also showed a hint of anticipation.

"The ranking of the Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire is even a little higher than that of the Fallen Heart Flame. During this period, you must not let your guard down. You should work hard to improve your realm. Now that your teacher has helped you break through the realm barrier, you should work even harder."

Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Fan's face turned serious. He said to Xiao Yan, "For the time being, put aside the Yan Alliance matters. I've devised a training plan for you."

Xiao Yan was quite convinced by what Xiao Fan said. When he heard that Xiao Fan had devised a training plan for him, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. He couldn't help but recall his senior brother's appearance in the city earlier, and his anticipation grew even stronger.
