Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 142 Izumo Peak Tournament

"This person may have seen me in the past."

Medusa reminded quietly.

Although the Izumo Empire does not border the Great Desert for long, snake-men slaves are extremely popular.

Even if it is sold directly, it can easily cost thousands of gold coins, which is a considerable extra income for the Dou Wang. After all, a little bit of profit from the marginal gains can make a lot of money, so why not do it?

Judging from the appearance of the man in front of me, he might be the leader of a group of people who are begging for money.

"This is a bit troublesome..."

Given Queen Medusa's identity, who would believe you if you said you were here for a friendly visit?

"If my feeling is correct, he is the only Dou Wang in the garrison nearby."

Xiao Yan twisted the poison vine fire with his fingertips, wondering whether he should rush forward directly.

Anyway, these great empires are all sparsely populated. Once you cross the border city, you will see desolate mountains and wilderness with no human beings everywhere. You can choose to live on any hill and no one will care about you. You won't see other humans for at least three to five years.

"Where on earth have I seen you before?"

The Dou Wang was observing intently, but suddenly his eyes met Medusa's cold gaze.

Facing her eyes that were shining with a strange light, the old man suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly retracted his gaze and straightened his expression.

He has been hanging around in places like this for a few decades and has seen many powerful people, so naturally he has developed a pair of eyes that can judge people.

'This woman is not simple...'

Putting aside that strange feeling of familiarity, the fact that he could sense the soul warning meant that the other person was at least a Dou Wang like him, and his realm was even higher than his.

'I wonder if this investigation just now has annoyed her?'

The old man restrained his breath and saluted Medusa with his fists: "Uh... I wonder where you and your group are from? Izumo and Gama have an agreement that all people passing through the border must verify their identities to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings."

'Fight? Charge?'

Medusa glanced at Xiao Yan, and the meaning in her eyes couldn't be clearer.

"Oh~ sorry..."

Who knew that the old man suddenly understood something, and he quickly forced a smile on his face, then turned to greet Xiao Yan:

"I wonder why this young master has come to my Izumo? If it is not necessary, please reveal your identity and background, so as to avoid any offense to you by the Empire."

It was obvious that he had seen the interaction between the two and simply regarded Medusa as a guard.

After all, this young man doesn't look like a strong man. At only fifteen or sixteen years old, what achievements can he make in spiritual practice?

"However... to have a Dou Wang-level mount and guards, the power behind him should not be underestimated. There is an 80% chance that he is the overlord of the empire backed by a Dou Zong."

The old man's eyes became more serious, and he didn't know why this young master came here.

tourism?

What a joke! What's so fun to see and do in a place like the Izumo Empire that's filled with poisonous smoke?

Come here specially to see the thousand poisonous states of the Empire's inhabitants?
"Don't be nervous, old man. We are poison masters just like you, and we are looked down upon and rejected by those who claim to be orthodox. I thought we were the only poison masters in the world, but I didn't expect to find the records of the Izumo Empire in ancient books."

Xiao Yan raised his palm, and the emerald green poison vine fire evaporated into thick smoke that gradually dissipated: "I came here this time to observe your country's cultivation method and compare it with my clan's secret technique to facilitate further research."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan stretched out his toes and stepped on Little Medical Fairy's feet twice.

"Sigh~"

The Little Medical Fairy's face was twisted into a ball, and she glared at him with some resentment. She opened her mouth unwillingly and spit out gray-purple poisonous smoke. The smoke condensed into illusory snake shadows, flashing with cold light.

The snake poison Xiao Yan brought back was of a high grade. If he took too much at once, it would accumulate in his stomach and be unable to be digested for a long time. But who could blame him for the pleasure of improving his strength...

He swallowed a big mouthful, and within three breaths he could feel the strong feeling of pushing his back improving.

Two stars today, three stars tomorrow, it's like riding a rocket.

"Huh? This?"

The old man Dou Wang's face was shocked. He stared at the poisonous gas emanating from the two people and felt a little overwhelmed, especially when Medusa also sighed and released a thin poisonous Dou Qi, his expression was completely submerged in shock.

I thought that all the poison masters in the world could only hide in this Izumo and survive, but who knew that there were such people in such a distant place?

"Tianyou... it's Tianyou Izumo!"

The old man's hair and beard were flying, and the poisonous aura surrounding his body was even thicker. The sudden encounter with such a happy event actually made his long-dormant cultivation feel like it was revived, and he was about to break through the bottleneck.

"My lords, please follow me. I will take you to the Holy City right away!"

The Izumo Empire is now in a state of chaos and chaos caused by the separatist wars among the princes. If we can attract external aid to the royal family, we may be able to completely eliminate those cancers and return power to the hands of the empire.

"This is the achievement of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation..."

The light in the old man's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if all the vigor of his youth had returned.

"Then please lead the way."

Xiao Yan first looked at Medusa, then nodded at him.

Although her face looked a little ugly, since she didn't say anything to stop it, it meant that this trip was not that dangerous.

"OK!"

The old man's whole body was filled with boiling fighting spirit, and his figure turned into a green arrow that rushed into the distance, breaking through the poisonous fog and leading the way for the Lion King.

"He's..."

Little Medical Fairy was a little puzzled by this man's mood swings. He had clearly reached the Dou Wang realm, so how could he not have this much scheming, with all his joy and anger revealed on the outside?

"Normal~ Every poison master suffers from poisons during their training. These toxins not only interfere with the fighting spirit and corrode the body, but also torture the soul. Over time, the spirit will naturally become weak."

Medusa glanced at the Little Medical Fairy meaningfully: "But this is certainly a good thing for the Jia Ma Empire..."

"The territory of the Izumo Empire is almost two or three times that of it, and there are countless powerful people inside, but most of these people are concentrating on practicing, hoping that one day they can completely get rid of the backlash, and have no intention of participating in the dispute."

"And those Douhuang and even Douzong masters who have already landed are almost all from the common people. They are the chosen ones eliminated from hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Obviously, they will not be controlled by the royal family."

Of course, the biggest problem is that they, as the apparent number one force, have no intention of expanding.

The Wanxie Sect has not made any further moves since it overthrew the previous overlord. In recent years, it has even shown a tendency to develop into a hidden sect, with no intention of taking on the responsibility of the empire.

If the imperial family wants to command everything, they have to touch this mountain first, but this mountain has no intention of replacing it. It just suppresses the holy city, making the entire Izumo semi-paralyzed and unable to organize forces to invade all directions.

Xie Biyan can be called the father of Gama.

“So that’s how it is…” Xiao Yixian nodded, not quite understanding, and then suddenly realized that the situation was not good. She grabbed Xiao Yan’s arm in panic: “Wait! According to what she said, will I become a madman in the future? Or will I become a fool?”

"How would I know about this?"

Xiao Yan pulled her hand speechlessly: "But don't worry, even if there is something wrong, I can still cure you. Believe in my ability."

Logically speaking, the poisonous body of Evil should not be able to withstand the erosion of toxins. The poison and gas will be directly digested once they enter the body, and will become part of her strength before they have time to erode.

But who can predict what will happen in the future?

The original book did not explain whether there was an upper limit to the poison pill method. Who knows if there would be problems if too much poison was put in.

"So there's a risk?"

Little Doctor Fairy covered her face with her hands in despair: "Can't you just tell me a lie to trick me? Aren't you afraid that I will quit right now?"

"Snapped!"

Xiao Yan snatched the big bone stick from her and said, "What's so scary about this... If you don't want to work, just don't give me any benefits. If your evil poisonous body explodes in the future, you will have to figure out a way out on your own. I will only be responsible for finding a good feng shui spot to bury you."

Before that, it is best to put it in the Black Magic Cauldron to smelt it and purify the poison. When burying it, use the strange fire to seal it with several layers to prevent the residual poisonous smoke from coming out and harming people.

“Hey, hey! Give it back to me! I just got it and haven’t had time to taste it yet!”

"If you want it, come and get it yourself."

Xiao Yan smiled.

"They are just like two little brats..."

Medusa pointed her fingers at her ears and used her fighting spirit to block out the noise.

She had never dreamed that Xiao Yan's true face would be like this. In some things, he was even more childish than the kids running around on the street. He was totally unlike the hermit master he was before.

"But this doesn't look bad..."

Medusa frowned, and suddenly had a strange feeling like an older sister taking care of a child.

Rather than having a cold-blooded beast who would do anything to achieve his goal as her leader, she would rather choose Xiao Yan, a guy who seems unreliable in any way.

At least I won't be thrown away like a consumable.

……

"Young Master, this is the holy capital of my Izumo Empire."

The old man pointed at the mountains in the distance. He saw an elliptical basin in the heart of the mountains, with a gloomy-looking city located in the middle. It looked more like a frontier fortress than an imperial capital.

Not popular at all.

The whole city seemed to be under curfew, the city gates were closed, the streets were quiet and empty, and apart from a line of guards passing by from time to time, there were no other living creatures in the city.

'This city is like a corpse...'

Xiao Yan looked at him strangely: "Old sir, are you sure this is the Izumo Imperial Capital?"

"Of course."

The old man sighed and said, "Since the royal power has fallen, the center of the entire empire has shifted to Tiandu City, and it is also the core area where various forces compete for the position of overlord of the empire."

"As long as we can firmly control that city, the royal family will issue a notice to make it the first sect in the empire."

There is no way, I am not strong enough.

When you encounter something like this, you can only bow your head and acknowledge your father, and pray that the other party will give you some face.

"But I heard that the royal family is also protected by Dou Zong, how could they be sidelined to this extent?"

Xiao Yan thought about the situation of the Jia Ma Empire and still felt that the Izumo royal family was too weak.

"The Wanxie Sect has at least one Dou Zong and four Dou Huangs, and Xie Bi Yan has even reached three stars. This sect alone is enough to destroy the royal family. What's more, they have also supported many Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs around to protect the Sky Poison City."

The old man was silent for a long time, but finally he patiently explained to him: "And the overall strength of this force accounts for about a third of Izumo... This is just counting the forces that I know about."

There are big brothers everywhere.

Moreover, compared to a certain force becoming the king and dominating, those troublemakers would rather not see an emperor forcing them to submit.

The hegemony of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect would only make them talk a little, but if the royal family intends to revive, they will have to face the alliance of the sects...

Without three or five Dou Zongs, they would not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

You never know when the capital will be surrounded and a long list of treaties will be signed.

Striving will only lead to more losses.

"According to this calculation, the entire Izumo Empire probably has 20 to 30 Dou Huangs, and with Dou Wangs included, there are probably over a hundred of them... This is consistent with the number of Dou Huangs participating in the decisive battle between the two sides in the original novel."

Xiao Yan couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

In contrast, even if the Snake People were included in the Gama Empire, they could not muster ten Dou Huangs, and among the top ten strongest people, even three or four-star Dou Wangs could make the list.

The difference is not even a tiny bit.

"There are so many powerful people, both openly and secretly... I didn't expect that there is such a rich country in this border area. It is overwhelming compared to the neighboring country Gama~"

Xiao Yan flattered him a little, but who would have thought that the old man would actually say in a serious tone: "Young Master, what you said really embarrasses me."

"The Nagama Empire runs through a mountain range of monsters, and the northeast is covered with deserts. The core area is close to the monster settlement area and is threatened by monster tides. Almost half of the country, which is only one-seventh of the area of ​​Izumo, has supported four or five Douhuangs."

The old man pointed to the horizon and said, "Even...if we count those snakemen and monsters, the Gama Empire is the richest among the surrounding countries!"

“If it weren’t for the Monster Mountain Range and the Great Desert separating it from the surrounding areas, forcing many forces to take a long detour and force their way through the pass, it would have long since become a battlefield.”

Compared to the Izumo Empire, a country full of chaos, this old man yearns more for the Gama Empire, where the royal family is powerful and has complete control over all internal forces.

Although the power of the Yunlan Sect is somewhat beyond the control, they still obey orders.

In contrast, the Izumo Empire was in a period of chaos.

"Hearing what the old man said, you seem to envy Gama?"

Xiao Yan didn't expect that there would actually be someone who liked that remote place.

"Of course. Our Izumo Empire has always coveted this precious land... Unfortunately, the internal forces are fighting against each other and are unable to unite into a single will. They always hinder each other in external battles, and some even take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the rear."

The old man was quite emotional, obviously he had witnessed the scene of mutual suspicion and stabbing with his own eyes.
