Chapter 245: Medusa, Hold
As Xiao Yan found himself unable to free himself from the wind ropes, he sneered and unleashed an earthy yellow flame from his body, which melted the ropes in an instant.
After regaining his freedom, Xiao Yan did not wait for Yun Yun's reaction before his eyes moved and locked onto Yun Yun's body, his coal-black Heavy Xuan Ruler lit up with a faint white aura as he violently shouted.
"Hundred Flames Strike!"
A towering pillar of earthy yellow flame erupted from the Heavy Xuan Ruler, and its violent energy crashed into Yun Yun like a falling comet.
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the flame, Yun Yun channeled the Dou Qi from her body and swiftly formed a fierce wind barrier in front of her.
"Wind Wall!"
With all her strength, Yun Yun released layers of wind barriers, which piled up together as thick as a city wall. As the earthy yellow flame pillar collided with the first wind barrier layer, the barrier was shattered in an instant, but the flame pillar was also partially depleted of energy, creating a great tide of energy.
With their Dou Emperor strength, both were able to unleash their Xuan Dou Techniques with the same level of power as the Di Dou Techniques unleashed earlier.
After finishing off the pillar of flame, Yun Yun did not stop in her movements and, in her empty hand, a longsword made of pure white energy appeared.
Among the clouds and mist, Yun Yun was like a Goddess of the Ninth Heaven.
Suddenly, two peak Dou Emperor auras slowly enveloped the sky above the Misty Cloud Sect. The leader was dressed in a set of luxurious purple brocade robes, wrapping her delicate body in them, her voluptuous and fiery figure released a powerful temptation, and her pair of narrow pupils gave a magical charm to her golden eyes.
She was the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa, famous for her cruelty and beauty.
Medusa was a powerful peak Dou Emperor who had once terrified the three surrounding Empires with her own power, so the moment she appeared above the Misty Cloud Sect, she naturally attracted the attention of many people.
The crowd in the square fell silent.
The silence went on for a long time before someone finally broke it with a terrified voice.
"Queen Medusa!!!"
This name, which almost all the people of the Jia Ma Empire had heard of, belonged to a cold and stunningly beautiful woman who had personally killed many famous powerhouses in the wars against the Empire. Before the appearance of Xiao Ming, a Dou Ancestor, there were only a few people in the Empire who had the strength to rival this demonic woman.
This woman, with her merciless methods that rivaled even the most ruthless Emperors, had terrified several Empires around the Tager Desert, making them hesitant to easily initiate a war against her tribe.
Beneath her luxurious purple brocade robe, a purple snake tail slithered lazily, exuding an exotic and untamed aura.
As soon as Medusa appeared, Zi Yan's eyes lit up, but now was not the time, so she did not rush toward her without regard to the occasion. Medusa also saw Zi Yan, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she remained silent.
Her gaze shifted to Xiao Yan, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face, only to be replaced by a languid expression as she exhaled gracefully, saying:
"Xiao Yan, although I promised to get you out of the Misty Cloud Sect, you didn't say that a Dou Ancestor powerhouse would actually appear here."
"I had no idea there was a Dou Ancestor here. You'd better hurry and assist me in passing through the formation, so I can leave quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to use my Heavenly Flame to break through!" urged Xiao Yan.
A trace of coldness flashed in Medusa's eyes upon hearing this.
If it wasn't because this Xiao Yan had once rescued the Grand Commander of her Snake-People Tribe, that is, the bald snake man beside her, she would have killed him long ago to seize the Heavenly Flame and evolve on her own, but now this fellow even dared to talk to her like this. It seemed like she was being too kind before.
The bald Snake Man next to her saw that her face turned cold, immediately understood the reason, and rushed to advise her.
"Your Majesty, at this time, we should focus on helping him escape from the Misty Cloud Sect first, otherwise, the matter of the Heavenly Flame..."
"Do it." Medusa narrowed her eyes and nodded her head.
Upon receiving Medusa's command, the burly and unappealing Grand Commander swiftly formed a seal. A dense fog of verdant energy arose from the seal, ultimately materializing into a colossal serpent measuring thirty-two meters in size.
"Go." With a command, the giant snake rushed straight at the energy shield covering the square.
BOOM!
Instantly, a wave of energy was created from the point of collision and then spread out along the energy shield.
"Queen Medusa, this is a private matter between my Misty Cloud Sect and Xiao Yan, are you sure you want to interfere in it!?" Feeling the violent vibration of the energy shield, Yun Yun's pretty face held back her fury as she asked.
Although the Covering Sun Cloud Formation could gather disciples' energy, it had a drawback, and that was that there could only be one formation eye, and while she was currently fighting Xiao Yan inside the formation, she was unable to deal with any threats from outside.
What she received in response was an even fiercer attack.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Yun Yun coldly snorted and charged her sword, rushing towards Xiao Yan.
As long as she dealt with Xiao Yan inside the formation, Medusa outside would naturally retreat.
Seeing Yun Yun shoot towards him and her aura rising, almost surpassing the limit of a Dou Emperor, Xiao Yan's eyelids couldn't help but jump.
'Master!'
'That Yun Yun has used the formation to increase her strength by a large margin, forget it, relax your mind and let your Master take control of your body.'
'Okay, please, Master!'
As "Xiao Yan" opened his eyes, a lingering white flame appeared in his pupils. An aura, full of the weight of time began to emanate from his body.
The aura that was comparable to that of a Dou Emperor began to rapidly condense at this moment, gathering the scattered power. His aura soared once again, surpassing the peak of a Dou Emperor, but not reaching the Dou Ancestor realm.
Instantly, Yun Yun's pretty face revealed a look of surprise, originally this Xiao Yan could temporarily raise his aura to that of a Dou Emperor, which was already enough for people to be surprised, but how could it keep increasing? Now his aura was even in... the half-step Dou Ancestor?
Although she was shocked, Yun Yun did not stop her attack.
"Xiao Yan" laughed lightly, unafraid, and waved the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand nonchalantly, the ruler's body dragging a heavy residual shadow across the sky with a fierce force, heavily crushing Yun Yun who flashed in front of him.
Peng Peng Peng!
Violent explosions echoed in the square.
For a moment, all but a few fighting people were plunged into silence.
"Old Hai, do you think we should make a move? "Looking at Medusa and the bald Grand Commander, who was indiscriminately bombarding the energy shield, Jia Xing Tian asked.
"What, you want to make a move?" Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes.
"Hehe, this... it's just that I think this time it's a problem concerning the entire Jia Ma Empire, and it's not good for Medusa from the Snake-People Tribe to interfere." Jia Xing Tian said with a bitter smile.
He didn't want to interfere either, but this Medusa had brazenly approached the Jia Ma Sacred City, and as the Imperial Guardian, it seemed unreasonable for him not to do something.
But if he made a move, it seemed that he would offend Xiao Ming. This was a real dilemma.
"It's that brat's fault. He could have asked anyone for help, but he had to bring the Snake-People here, putting me in a difficult spot. It makes me furious!" After thinking about it, Jia Xing Tian cursed under his breath, blaming Xiao Yan for choosing the Snake-People as allies.
When Hai Bodong heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said nothing.
It seemed that Jia Xing Tian was no longer planning to make a move. While he could risk offending anyone else, offending Xiao Ming was out of the question.
If Gu He wasn't so important to the Misty Cloud Sect, they probably wouldn't have made a big move either.
Truthfully, Hai Bodong was also unhappy with Xiao Yan for bringing Medusa here, for no other reason than the simple fact that she had sealed him for decades in the past.
...
Under the control of the experienced Yao Lao, Xiao Yan managed to keep Yun Yun at bay while the energy shield gradually crumbled, creating a small opening amidst the bombardment of Medusa and the bald Grand Commander.
Peng!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out as a burst of purple Dou Qi was launched against the energy shield, causing the small opening to expand rapidly to a width of three meters.
"Xiao Yan" couldn't help but feel joy at the sight, and he fiercely brandished the Heavy Xuan Ruler, forcing Yun Yun back with a burst of white flames. Taking advantage of the opening, he shot out through it and flew into the distance without hesitation.
'Looks like this Xiao Yan is successfully escaping.' Many onlookers thought.
However, the disciples and Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect had an unpleasant expression on their faces.
Suddenly, a sea of black smoke erupted from the Misty Cloud Sect's underground and spread into the sky above the square, bringing with it the sound of clanging chains. The sky was covered in a gloomy black fog, and black chains the size of a human's head coiled around Xiao Yan at lightning speed.
"Jie Jie Jie, don't waste your energy, you won't be able to escape!"
