Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"hehe."

Si Kou Shisan smiled upon hearing Qi Li's words, offering no rebuttal. His voice, though soft, carried a hint of coldness as he spoke: "Lord Qi, I have received news that you are plotting to betray the royal family and join the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. I have been ordered to capture you. I apologize for the inconvenience."

"Fuck me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Kou Shisan waved his hand, and the fighting spirit of the surrounding soldiers surged out, gradually spreading out thin chains of fighting spirit among the hundreds of people, connecting them all together.

A peculiar energy emanated from their bodies, and then the soldiers stepped forward in unison.

boom!

A surging aura erupted from them, crushing towards Qi Li in the center.

This is the combat method used by ordinary people in the royal army to fight against powerful enemies.

They all practiced the royal family's unified cultivation method, which linked their internal fighting spirit together, enhancing their overall strength. At the same time, it also ensured that they had a certain chance of survival when facing powerful enemies far stronger than themselves.

The more troops this technique connects, the stronger the force it can unleash.

They were all ordinary people with poor cultivation talent. They lacked the talent to stand out and the family background to squander their wealth. They could only join the royal family and become a tool in the hands of the royal family.

"Humph!"

Qi Li sensed the connection between the soldiers, snorted coldly, and showed a disdainful look on his face. Then, he waved his hands, and his fighting spirit surged out, transforming into a ferocious beast that pounced on the soldiers of the Izumo Empire.

"Your Highness, these are not enough to subdue me."

The ferocious beast pounced towards the soldiers of the Izumo Empire. Seeing the combined attack, the soldiers remained calm and focused, their eyes fixed firmly on the approaching beast.

"break!"

Just as the beast charged to the front of the formation, the right hands of the many soldiers holding spears moved in unison, thrusting them forcefully at the charging beast. Immediately, a stream of light flew out from their bodies, merged together in mid-air, and pierced the beast's body.

"Bang! The seemingly ferocious beast was completely reduced to ashes and disappeared in a single blow by these soldiers."

"Wait! This is the Flying Dragon Army?"

Seeing that his attack was so easily broken by the opponent, Qi Li's face showed a look of surprise.

He possesses the strength of a high-level Battle King. Even if an ordinary army were to unite together, it would take at least a thousand people to contend with him. However, the army in front of them only numbers three hundred.

The only possible source is the Flying Dragon Army of the Izumo Empire's royal family.

The members of the Flying Dragon Army all practice special combined attack techniques, which can greatly unleash their potential and allow them to fight stronger opponents with fewer people.

However, the selection process for the Flying Dragon Army is extremely rigorous. Moreover, due to the special cultivation techniques they use, the lifespan of the Flying Dragon Army members is significantly reduced. Furthermore, every time they fight, the members of the Flying Dragon Army are consuming their own lifespan.

"I never expected that you would send the Flying Dragon Army to deal with a mere Dou Wang like me. Does the Sikou family have no trump cards at all? If so, what makes you think you can break ties with the Wanxie Sect? You should know that Xie Biyan is a four-star Dou Zong."

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Qi Li's mouth as he looked at Si Kou Shisan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He knew that the Sikou family was making many preparations in secret, but he couldn't find out anything about their specific plans.

"This is not something that the Marquis of Qi should be concerned with."

Si Kou Shisan looked at Qi Li, but had no intention of answering his question.

"I understand. Now you should have allocated more of your resources to deal with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect branch, right?"

Looking at Sikou Shisan's expression, Qi Li suddenly thought of something, laughed loudly, and casually said, "Then I must remind you, those of you who go should probably be prepared to suffer heavy losses."

"Humph."

Sikou Shisan did not argue with Qi Li, but gave him a cold look before directing his troops to continuously wear down Qi Li.

......

In the sky, Xiao Fan and the others hid in mid-air, watching the battle unfolding below, a hint of surprise on their faces.

"I never expected the Sikou family to dare to make a move ahead of time."

Xiao Fan watched as Si Kou Shisan directed the army to attack continuously, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

This was also the first time he had seen the way ordinary people on the Dou Qi Continent fought. Unlike the one-on-one battles between cultivators, each of their attacks relied on the Dou Qi within everyone's body, which was condensed together at the moment of attack and then merged into a move to bombard the enemy.

Xiao Fan looked at the combined attacking army, his eyes flickered slightly, and a golden light flashed in them as he used his golden pupils to gaze at the people attacking below.

With the aid of his Golden Eyes, Xiao Fan was able to easily observe the flow of battle qi within everyone's bodies. Watching the fusion of battle qi from hundreds of people, a new idea suddenly arose in Xiao Fan's mind regarding the use of the Strange Fire.

Seeing the battle below gradually coming to an end, Xiao Fan had no intention of showing himself. Instead, he looked towards another direction from Tianrong City, and the three of them headed in that direction.

Compared to the battle taking place on the other side, this can only be described as children playing house.

After all, the battle fluctuations they sensed outside the city must have involved a Dou Huang-level expert, otherwise the fluctuations from the battle could be so terrifying.

Soon, Xiao Fan and his two companions arrived at the battleground.

Looking at the familiar location below, a flash of realization crossed Xiao Fan's eyes. This was the place where he had questioned the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect about their plan. He remembered that he had managed to extract the information from an elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect named Sha Qing.

However, Sha Qing is not present in the arena. According to Xiao Fan's guess, he has probably really finished filming, just like his name suggests!

boom!

In the arena, several elders dressed in the robes of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were fighting against a mysterious powerhouse hidden in a black robe.

Even when fighting against several Dou Wangs at the same time, he was still relaxed and comfortable, constantly adding wounds to the elders.

Xiao Fan glanced at it briefly. If he was right, these Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect elders were no match for the other side. This delay was probably for one purpose only: their real intention was not what it seemed!

P.S. Dear readers, I hope you've read everyone's feedback. I'll try to speed up the pace from now on, and finish the Izumo Empire storyline as soon as possible, and then move on to the Central Plains.

Thank you all for your support, and I wish you all good health!

Chapter 84 A Technique That Allows Toxins to Form a Soul

"Scorpion Hand!"

While the other elders were holding back the man in black robes, an elder from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect saw a glint of joy in his eyes as he noticed the man's opening. He then unleashed his fighting spirit and struck the man in black robes' wide-open back.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, the elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect couldn't help but smile. Although there was a gap in strength between him and his opponent, his Scorpion Hand was his signature skill. All his poison skills of half his life were contained in this one palm. Even if his opponent was a Dou Huang, if he was ambushed, this palm would still cause him considerable damage.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect attacked the man in black robes from behind, but the man seemed to have anticipated it. Just as the elder's attack was about to hit, he twisted his body and kicked the man away.

hum!

Just as the man in black robes was about to continue his attack, a palm-sized, pitch-black object suddenly flew rapidly toward him in mid-air.

"Oh? So you couldn't resist making a move after all?"

Xiao Fan sensed the sudden attack and looked at the man in black robes with a playful expression, wanting to know how he would respond.

After all, the opponent's attack was very covert. If the man in black robes only showed his true strength, he would probably suffer a great loss.

Beside Xiao Fan, Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun were not at all surprised by the sudden attack. After all, with their strength, they had already sensed the person hiding in the dark. However, seeing that Xiao Fan did not make a move, they quietly waited behind him.

call out!

Before the others could react, the man in black robes seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Without turning around, he waved his right hand, and a small grayish-brown snake flew out from his sleeve. Then, it opened its mouth and precisely swallowed the approaching dark object in mid-air.

"Um!?"

The elders of the Myriad Scorpion Sect who were originally besieging the black-robed Dou Huang finally realized what was happening and turned their attention to the sudden change in mid-air.

On the black-robed man's shoulder, a small, grayish-brown snake, about the length of an arm, was coiled. In its mouth, a black toad the size of a palm was struggling, but as the grayish-brown snake tore at it, the toad's struggles gradually weakened.

"Finally it's out."

The man in black robes ignored the four Dou Wangs from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in mid-air and turned to look at an old man who had suddenly appeared. The toad that had attacked him earlier was the old man's doing.

"Vice Sect Master!"

In mid-air, the four elders of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect showed a hint of excitement on their faces when they saw the old man appear.

The old man seemed not to hear them at all, his eyes fixed on the small gray-brown snake on the black-robed man's shoulder with a somewhat gloomy expression, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"How strange! I am Xue Gang, the Vice Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. May I ask who you are...?"

Xue Gang looked at the man in black robes in front of him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Although he was somewhat surprised that the other party was able to block his attack, he was not too surprised. However, the small snake on the other party's shoulder was what puzzled him.

"Could they be from that sect?"

As Xue Gang looked at the silent man in black robes, a thought arose in his mind.

When the man in black robes saw Xue Gang appear, his aura fluctuated slightly. Although he hid it well, Xiao Fan and the others still noticed it.

"It seems that the reason why this black-robed man fought with the Wanxie Sect elder for so long was to wait for Xue Gang to show up."

Yun Yun looked at the man in black robes and Xue Gang below, and then voiced her guess.

Xiao Fan nodded upon hearing this. As soon as Xue Gang appeared, the black-robed man's aura changed, clearly indicating that he had come prepared.

"I think I know who this man in black robes is."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at the two locked in a stalemate in the air and listened to Xiao Fan and Yun Yun's discussion, then suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words, Xiao Fan couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity on his face.

The original work describes the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect very little. Apart from Scorpion Biyan, Scorpion Mountain, and Wu Ya, it is not mentioned much. For example, Xiao Fan does not know much about Xue Gang in front of him.

Upon hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words, Xiao Fan couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity. Although Yun Yun didn't speak, she also looked at Little Fairy Doctor with curiosity.

"You should have noticed that the little snake on the other person's shoulder is not a living creature."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Fan mischievously, then pointed to the grayish-brown snake on the black-robed man's shoulder and spoke.
