Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

179: The mystery of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire!Scorpion and the other two soared to the Peak of the mountain. Just as they were about to continue, they were suddenly locked onto by the aura from the mountain’s summit. After pausing, their cold gazes instantly swept towards Xiao Ze and his group.

When Scorpion saw Yao Chen’s figure, he was first stunned, then exclaimed in shock and anger, ”Yao Chen? It’s actually you!”

Yao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm: ”Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts, it’s been many years. You haven’t changed at all.”

Only then did Scorpion notice Xiao Ze beside Yao Chen, and his eyes instantly burned with resentment.

It was this very Young Friend who snatched the incomplete map he was determined to get at the trade fair!

”Young Friend, how dare you ruin my plans!”

Scorpion gritted his teeth, his Dou Qi surging around him. ”Today, I’ll let you know the consequences of taking something from Scorpion!”

Earth Scorpion and Human Scorpion behind him also assumed fighting stances, their three powerful auras intertwining and pressing down on Xiao Ze and the others.

Xiao Ze took a step forward, and the pressure of a Seven Star Dou Sheng suddenly spread out.

That heavy power, like Heaven And Earth, instantly enveloped the entire area. The faces of Scorpion and the other two changed dramatically, their Dou Qi circulation became sluggish, and their arrogant demeanor was instantly extinguished, their eyes filled with disbelief.

This was actually the aura of a Dou Sheng!

”You... you are a Dou Sheng?!”

Scorpion’s voice trembled, his previous ferocity completely gone, replaced only by fear.

He never imagined that the Young Friend who bid against him was actually a true Dou Sheng expert!

”Now you know fear?” Xiao Ze’s tone was cold. ”Unfortunately, it’s too late!”

Before his words finished, his figure suddenly vanished.

Scorpion and the other two hadn’t even reacted when a black light flashed.

Xiao Ze had already appeared in front of Human Scorpion, the Dou Sheng Qi condensed on his fingertip piercing through his chest without any obstruction.

”Third Brother!”

Scorpion and Earth Scorpion screamed in alarm. Just as they were about to move to rescue him, Xiao Ze had already retreated with Human Scorpion’s corpse, casually throwing it to the ground.

Human Scorpion, a Peak Six-turn Dou Zun, couldn’t even withstand one of his moves and was completely lifeless.

Such overwhelming strength made Scorpion and Earth Scorpion’s souls tremble with fear!

They no longer dared to harbor any thoughts of resistance and turned to flee.

But how could Xiao Ze give them a chance?

He simply clenched his right hand in the Void Realm, and the surrounding space instantly solidified, trapping the two like an invisible cage.

”No! Let us go!”

Scorpion frantically channeled his Dou Qi to struggle, but could only watch as Xiao Ze slowly walked towards him.

Xiao Ze’s eyes were indifferent. He raised his hand and gently pressed down on the two.

Two invisible Qi bursts erupted. Scorpion, a Peak Nine-turn Dou Zun, and Earth Scorpion, an Eight-turn Dou Zun, didn’t even let out a scream. Their bodies instantly disintegrated, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

In just a few breaths, the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts, whom even Yao Chen had been wary of, were all instantly killed by Xiao Ze.

Yao Chen, Xiao Yan, and the other two looked at this scene, their hearts filled with shock.

The might of a Dou Sheng was indeed terrifying!

Xiao Ze casually took the storage rings from Scorpion and the other two. After scanning them with his Mental Energy, he frowned.

Inside, apart from some high-grade Medicinal Pills and Heaven And Earth Treasure, there was nothing special.

He threw the storage rings to Xiao Yan: ”These things are useless to me. See if there’s anything you can use.”

Xiao Yan caught the storage rings, his Mental Energy delving into them. Soon, he exclaimed in surprise: ”There’s the ’Vajra Glazed Body’ Dou Technique that was auctioned at the trade fair! And many Spirit Medicine that can help with Breakthrough!”

Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian leaned over to look, their eyes also full of surprise.

Not only did Xiao Ze easily deal with the powerful enemies, but he also seized so many treasures in the process.

Yao Chen stepped forward and cupped his hands to Xiao Ze, saying: ”Thank you, Young Friend Xiao Ze, for your assistance. If it weren’t for you, it would have taken quite a bit of effort to deal with these three today.”

Xiao Ze nodded slightly: ”It was a small matter. These three have committed many evil deeds; keeping them alive would only cause more trouble.”

He paused, his gaze turning towards the Desolate Ancient Domain: ”The appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree is no small matter. That place is extremely dangerous. We need to prepare quickly so we don’t miss the opportunity.”

Yao Chen, Xiao Yan, and the other two nodded.

With Xiao Ze, a Dou Sheng, present, even when facing the ancient Vicious Beasts of the Desolate Ancient Domain, they felt a bit more confident.

After all, in that place, even Peak Dou Zun experts would face great peril upon entering. Only true Dou Sheng experts could roam freely!

Xiao Yan played with the storage ring in his hand, looking at the ’Vajra Glazed Body’ scroll inside, and couldn’t help but laugh: ”I didn’t expect to get such a good thing. Now my defensive capabilities can improve quite a bit.”

Following Third Brother, one can even eat meat while lying down!

Xiao Ze smiled without speaking. He had originally come for the incomplete map of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, and dealing with Scorpion was just an incidental matter.

”The commotion here is too great. We need to leave quickly,” Yao Chen said, scanning the mountain range below that had been flattened into a plain.

”If someone discovers that Young Friend Xiao Ze possesses the complete ancient map, even if you are a Dou Sheng, it will attract countless covetous gazes and only add to the trouble.”

Xiao Ze nodded in agreement, raising his hand to set up a concealment barrier, completely masking their auras: ”Let’s go. I’ll take you away from here first.”

As his words fell, faint blue spatial ripples emanated from around him, engulfing Yao Chen, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others, and they instantly vanished from their original spot.

About ten minutes after they left, a dozen figures rushed to the scene.

Looking at the messy ground and the residual blood mist in the air, everyone gasped.

The Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts, when working together, could contend with a Half-Saint, yet now they had met their demise. The strength of the one who attacked was truly chilling.

On a green Peak a thousand miles away, spatial ripples dispersed, and Xiao Ze and his group landed steadily.

”This place is very safe. My barrier can block any detection below the Dou Sheng level.”

Xiao Ze withdrew his power and took out four scrolls of incomplete maps from his storage ring. With a slight movement of his fingertip, the incomplete maps floated in the air: ”Since they are all collected, let’s see what secret this ancient map holds.”

Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others held their breath, their gazes fixed on the incomplete maps.

The four scrolls of incomplete maps slowly rotated in the air, their edges aligning with each other, and soon they pieced together to form a complete ancient map.

However, the map only showed ordinary landscape patterns, with no hint of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

”This...” Xiao Yan’s face was filled with surprise. ”Could it just be an ordinary ancient map?”

”This ancient map appears ordinary, but its material is extraordinary,” Yao Chen stepped forward to examine it closely, his fingertip tracing the edge of the ancient map. ”It can carry information from the incomplete maps; it’s definitely not a common item. It must require a special power to trigger the clues.”

Xiao Ze remained noncommittal. A wisp of faint golden Dou Sheng Fire ignited in his palm. The flame gently enveloped the ancient map, without any sign of scorching.

Everyone soon noticed something unusual.

Not only did the Dou Sheng Fire not damage the ancient map, but it also caused the landscape patterns on the map to gradually light up, as if infused with vitality.

As Xiao Ze slowly increased the intensity of the flame, the ancient map suddenly trembled, and the patterns abruptly detached from the paper, intertwining in the air to form sixteen ancient characters: ”Dual Moons Appear, Nine Stars Unite, Heaven And Earth Tide, Demon Flame Descends.” The characters glowed with a crimson-gold light, awe-inspiring.

”These are the conditions for the Purification Lotus Demon Flame’s descent!” Yao Chen’s voice was filled with awe.

”The once-in-a-millennium Dual Moons and Nine Stars phenomenon will trigger the Heaven And Earth Tide. Only then will the Demon Flame appear. Such a secret is actually hidden within the ancient map!”

Xiao Ze’s gaze fell on the characters. With a gentle tap of his fingertip, the characters transformed into streaks of light and merged into the ancient map: ”Nine hundred and ninety-seven years have passed since the last Heaven And Earth Tide. Only three years remain.”

He withdrew his Dou Sheng Fire, his expression calm: ”Three years is enough time for me to make ample preparations for refining the Demon Flame.”
