Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 143: The Old Ghost
"This Dou Zong of the Izumo Imperial Family...Have you ever seen him before?"

Xiao Yan looked at Medusa who seemed a little absent-minded.

"It's just a guess~"

Medusa frowned and looked around. She always felt that something was secretly watching her along the way.

Although the entire city was like a deserted one and there was no need to worry about any disturbance by descending from the sky, the old man Dou Wang still led his group to land outside the city gate and was now walking along the central avenue towards the palace.

The houses and shops on both sides were silent, and the few people who were around had stiff faces.

"hiss!"

The lion king suddenly shuddered: "My lord, why are those figures......"

"Those are puppets."

Medusa finally confirmed her inner guess and put away the colorful spots in her eyes: "It seems that this Dou Zong is the old ghost You from back then! A guy who specializes in poison puppets. His own talent and strength are not that strong. I didn't expect that he could break through the Dou Zong and continue his life until now."

These living dead who have been corroded by poisonous fighting spirit and branded with soul marks can not only increase their strength through poison tempering, but can also be thrown out and used as poison gas bombs. This method was very effective in the war that year.

Now that he has been promoted to Dou Zong, he will be even more difficult to deal with!
"You'd better be careful later. This guy was able to refine a Douhuang puppet back then, and now he might..."

Medusa gave a brief reminder, pinched her fingers on the ring and took out a strange fire pill and prepared it.

No one who takes this unconventional path is easy to deal with. Even she cannot guarantee that she can protect Xiao Yan.

As for the Little Doctor and the Lion King...

Now that it has come to that, we can only hope for the best.

"Douzong puppet?"

Xiao Yan was indeed somewhat surprised: "It shouldn't be possible. It's not difficult for a Dou Huang Peak to refine a low-level Dou Huang. He is only a one or two-star Dou Zong now, so it's good enough for him to be able to make a sixth-level peak."

"Who knows~ It's just a guess."

Medusa glanced at the scattered puppets, and a few faint lights flashed in her eyes.

As if sensing something, the prying eyes covering the entire street suddenly dissipated, and the dangerous aura lurking in the dark also dissipated instantly.

Space fluctuation?

Dou Zong...that’s okay.

Without probing, one knew that the visitor must be an honored guest. After all, which Dou Zong master would be idle and come here to deceive people? Where did his demeanor as a master go?

“I didn’t expect that these people were actually foreign tourists.”

The man looked around with a little surprise. After noticing Medusa's warning, he withdrew his investigation obediently to avoid further angering the visitor: "I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse..."

"puff!"

Thick smoke billowed in the dark and damp hall. The pool water, mixed with dark green and blood red, was churning. The bodies soaking in it were gradually reviving, as if they could sense the difficult situation of the owner of the sight.

"Be at ease~ It's not time for you to show up yet."

A figure like a mummy walked out of the poisonous fog, his skin had dried up and turned dark brown, and the smell of decay was extremely strong.

But those eyes that flashed with fluorescent light were gleaming, as if they were looking through space and somewhere else: "That woman's strength should be above mine. If she really wanted to do it, why would she have endured until now?"

"laugh…"

With a light tap of his bony fingers, the floating figure sank and disappeared into thin air along with its breath.

Now it seems that the other party is a friend rather than an enemy, and may be a suitable person to ask for help.

Over the years, he has collected all the poisons in Izumo, but he is still a little short of the mark. No matter how much he cultivates this puppet, it can only stop at the Douhuang level.

Unless you can find one or two rare poisons in the world and make some extra efforts, you will have to continue to linger at the peak level.

"I hope these distinguished guests can help me..."

The withered skeleton slowly disappeared into the poisonous fog with a hoarse sound, and the unique fluctuations of Dou Zong flashed by.

His talent has been tapped to the limit, and he even sacrificed his life in exchange for his potential to reach his current level. If he wants to continue to break through in the future, he can only place his hope on puppets.

……

"Rumble..."

The heavy stone door was pushed open, and old man Dou Wang walked forward with his head lowered. He knelt down in front of the stairs and bowed: "Old You, the people have been invited over."

"Yeah~"

The old ghost You, who was standing in front of the throne, turned around stiffly, and his eyes, which seemed unable to close, swept over the people below the stairs. He paused for a moment on Xiao Yixiang with a scrutinizing look, and finally fell on Medusa's face.

"Izumo... Welcome everyone. I know the purpose of your visit, and I will personally select someone to guide you. However—"

The old ghost You lowered his voice and after a moment of silence, he asked, "May I ask where this girl is from? Why do I feel that you look familiar?"

girl…

Medusa couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows.

Back when You Laogui was still a little kid gaining experience at the border, she was already preparing to challenge the previous Medusa, seize the title and take over as the clan leader.

In terms of age, it's almost right for this guy to call her aunt.

"Maybe he looks a bit like an old friend of You Lao's? After all, we have come here from hundreds of thousands of miles away, how could we have met before?"

Xiao Yan glanced at her expression, and quickly took over the conversation, cutting off the topic: "However, we have seen quite a few puppets along the way. This must be Elder You's trick, right?"

"Exactly."

Old Ghost You turned his gaze with some surprise, obviously making the same mistake as old man Dou Wang, treating Medusa as the core of the team.

"To be honest, I have never seen the art of puppetry in my clan. Could you please demonstrate it to us, Elder You?"

Xiao Yan thought of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and wondered if these two methods could be combined.

"That's easy to say..."

Old Ghost You laughed out loud, swaying his body from side to side and slowly walked down the stairs. A man and a woman followed him out of the hall, both with empty eyes and strange auras.

"This poison puppet is actually a unique skill I accidentally acquired while traveling. I followed the method of refining those puppets, treating the poison master as a corpse and the poison gas as flame to continue refining..."

As he slowly introduced them, fine poisonous patterns appeared on the bodies of the male and female puppets, making them look like broken and pieced-together porcelain.

"Of course~ Maybe you will think this method is too sinister and evil, but I can guarantee that all puppets are guilty of capital punishment! So you can rest assured that I am definitely not a person who kills indiscriminately."

"Oh, yes~"

Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly.

Old Ghost You made his last seal, his eyes glowed, his soul fluctuations connected with the two puppets, and that familiar feeling of being watched fell upon them again.

'The flaws of this method are somewhat obvious.'

Xiao Yan roughly understood the principle. The other party used the soul imprint to build a communication bridge. As long as the puppet's spirit was attacked, it would most likely be out of control.

'But the good thing is that the puppet itself has soul power that can be used and can independently execute simple commands.'

Just like a machine.

"I have spent most of my life studying this poison puppet, and now I have found a way to make further progress. Unfortunately, there is no one in Izumo who can help, and I can only let time waste away until now." Seeing that he was observing carefully, Old Ghost You struck while the iron was hot and brought the topic to himself.

Just now, I was worried that asking for help directly was too abrupt, so now that I had an opportunity, I would definitely grab it tightly: "My dear guests, you have come from far away. I'm sure the customs and practices outside are very different from here, right?"

"What does Elder You mean?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

The old ghost looked a little nervous, fearing that he would refuse outright: "I am willing to give you this secret method in exchange for your help! If you succeed, there will be many more treasures for you."

He thought very simply.

A poison master needs to continuously swallow deadly poisons when he starts practicing. Since these people are also in this profession and come from far away, there must be deadly poisons in their bodies that are different from the local poisons in Izumo.

"Okay, I'll help you then."

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered. The other party was worried that he had no reason to ask for help, and he was also worried that he had no reason to plunder.

It hits it off.

……

"Please look, sir... this is the poison pool."

Old Ghost You observed the appearance of several people. Seeing that they were not affected by the poison gas, he believed it a little more: "My secret method must consume a huge amount of poison. The more types and the stronger the poison, the better the final effect of the quenching will be."

"Right now, this puppet is stuck at the peak of Douhuang. If I can add a few more kinds of strange poisons into it, it will definitely be able to go further. By then, my cultivation will have a chance to improve again."

'The more poisonous, the better?'

Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly looked a little strange. The more he listened, the more he felt that this thing was like the Evil Poison Body.

Or maybe, the realm of poisonous fighting spirit always leads to the same destination?
"Little Medical Fairy, it's time for you to come on stage." Xiao Yan patted her head, "Go ahead! Let him gain some experience."

If there is any rare and strange poison in this world, the Evil Poison Body is definitely one of the best. The poisonous Dou Qi after the poison body is released is so deadly that anyone who touches it will be killed. Even a Dou Zun has to take it seriously if he encounters it, otherwise he will be in trouble.

Although Xiao Yixian mainly relies on elixirs to improve his realm during his cultivation up to now, he has consumed a lot of high-level poisons. If he bleeds a little, it will be a highly toxic drug that is unique in the entire continent.

Not to mention helping him to temper the puppet again, even poisoning this Du Dou Zong to death is not impossible.

"Oh?"

Old Ghost You glanced at Little Medical Fairy with some suspicion. With his vision, he could tell that Little Medical Fairy was only twenty years old at most. Even if she was a rare genius in the continent, she could only be a Dou Wang at most now, right?
If there was a sixth or seventh level poison in his body, he would have melted into a pool of pus long ago. There would be no chance for him to stand here like a human being.

"I'm sorry... It's not that I'm suspicious by nature, nor do I distrust you, young master. It's just that can this little girl really help me?"

Especially when he saw the bone stick in Xiao Yixian's arms, he felt that this girl was not reliable at all. Maybe she had some mental problems from refining poisons.

"Chi~"

Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally: "Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about how to repay us. You know the value of this opportunity very well."

You actually doubt the power of the evil poison body?

Still have a narrow vision.

“So greedy…”

As Xiao Yixiang approached the smoking poison pool, she could no longer control herself. The poisonous gas hidden deep inside her body became restless, eager to devour the nutrients in the air to grow stronger. Her whole body exuded a breath of desire.

"If I could soak in it, wouldn't that make it...?"

It's like being soaked in a pile of pills. When you open your mouth, you knock, and when you close your mouth, you level up.

"Gulu~"

Something in the depths of the poison pool seemed to sense the threat, and there was a sudden movement.

"Forget it, let's get to work first. Otherwise, your quota will be deducted again today."

The Little Medical Fairy interrupted her daydreaming, circulated the Dou Qi in her body, and followed the path of the technique to activate her poisonous body.

Her long hair fluttered like a strong wind, turning gray and white. The aura around her instantly became cold and violent. A corrosive gray-purple airflow naturally emerged, which actually raised her realm by several stars in a short period of time.

“Ah? This, this!”

Old Ghost You, who was full of complaints, suddenly lost his composure and kept pointing at Little Medical Fairy as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes jumping back and forth between her and Xiao Yan.

Disaster and poisonous body?

Unbelievable... He would have the chance to see such a rare genius in his lifetime!
This represents at least the talent of a Dou Zong. If one can successfully survive the disaster, it will not be difficult to enter the Dou Zun realm in the future.

"I never thought that the girl was such a genius. It seems that I am shortsighted. Living in the deep palace for a long time, it is inevitable that I don't recognize the heroes of the world."

Old Ghost You smiled somewhat awkwardly, raising the psychological positioning of Xiao Yan and his group to a higher level.

"Snapped…"

The little doctor bit her finger and dripped her blood into the pool, and a gray-black fog wall exploded in an instant. The poisonous gas bit and devoured the other poisons in the air like a ferocious beast, condensing into liquid water, and a poisonous rain fell in the hall.

The pure power accumulated during this period of time flowed out for the first time, revealing a somewhat hideous face.

"A power that can kill even a poison master."

Medusa's pupils shrank slightly. She had to admit that the fun in the past two days had indeed led her to misjudge.

As expected, none of the guys chosen by Xiao Yan are simple...

Except the Lion King.

"Valer!"

A figure suddenly emerged in the middle of the boiling pool water, as if he was trapped in the pool by something and could only struggle while being stained by the gray.

"Chi~"

At the same time, mist slowly rose from the old ghost's body, and his shriveled flesh and blood seemed to be filled with something. His body gradually returned to normal like a blown-up balloon, but his eyes continued to ooze out black venom.

"This poison puppet has a special trick."

Xiao Yan released his soul power and probed deep into the poisonous smoke, where he saw a crack on the white faceless creature's body that looked like a torn mouth, with eyebrows and eyes growing on its smooth surface.

This feeling is like breaking out of a cocoon. The rich breath of life gradually condenses and undergoes a transformation under the impetus of the essence and blood of the Little Medical Immortal.

When our ancestors created this fighting skill, did they refer to the evolution of Warcraft?

“This feeling… cough!”

The old ghost, whose body had suddenly changed, looked in pain, kneeling on the ground and struggling to support himself.

What a strong poisonous gas this is... Just the backlash from the secret technique was enough to cause him so much pain that all the fighting spirit in his body was raging uncontrollably.

　According to common sense, the people of the Izumo Empire should be resistant to poison, right?

　　But when the Sky Poison Female Little Medical Fairy made a move, she would dissolve the flesh, blood, and bones of the Dou Emperor at any time...

　　Not to mention zero, the poison resistance is actually negative.
