Chapter 147: Your Majesty, Please Behave Yourself!
Boom!
A thunderous clap erupted out of thin air!
High in the sky, Mo Tianxing slashed downward with his five clawed fingers like an eagle. Silver light erupted, expanding rapidly, transforming into countless invisible blades that blanketed the area.
"Spatial Annihilation!"
Mo Tianxing's cold, sharp voice echoed over the boundless forest. In an instant, countless invisible blades surged forth, engulfing a hundred meters around Medusa.
The invisible blades, carried by fierce winds, twisted the air as they descended. Within that hundred meter radius, trees disintegrated into dust, and the dust itself became fine particles. Anything in the blades' path, tangible or intangible, was obliterated.
There was no way to escape.
Medusa's red lips pressed tightly together. Her grip on her longsword firmed, and seven colored light began to shimmer across her body, one point after another. Her long, enchanting eyes shifted, transforming into vertical golden pupils.
She was ready to fight for her life.
With a loud cry, Medusa's sword radiated a seven colored light, sweeping upward.
But before she could strike, everything around her suddenly darkened. Medusa felt herself being embraced, and in the next instant, the world spun. Someone had snatched her out of Mo Tianxing's Spatial Annihilation attack.
"Are you alright?" Lu Bu's warm smile appeared before her, gentle like a spring breeze brushing across Lugu Lake or an autumn drizzle soaking Jiuzhaigou.
Coupled with his exceptionally handsome face, it was enough to make any woman's legs weak and leave them swooning.
"Let go!" Medusa rolled her eyes in exasperation. If not for the wandering hands at her back, she might have actually believed this guy was a proper gentleman!
"Huh?" Lu Bu looked at her, confused.
Smack!
Medusa raised her delicate hand and slapped it down hard onto her own pert behind.
Lu Bu froze for a moment, only to feel an itch on the back of his hand, as though he'd been bitten by a mosquito.
He looked down at his hand and realized Medusa wasn't spanking herself she was slapping his hand, which had somehow ended up grabbing her.
"Ah! Ow, ow, ow!"
Lu Bu's face contorted in mock agony as he clutched his hand and rubbed his fingers, acting like he was in tremendous pain.
Medusa's expression remained stoic, but her fingers trembled slightly. Damn it… why was even his hand so tough?!
Above them, Mo Tianxing glared at the scene, his body trembling with fury. Watching this young man appear out of nowhere, holding the purple robed woman in his arms without any resistance from her it made his blood boil.
I only teased you with a few words, and you wanted to kill me. But him? He's outright touching you, and you're fine with it?!
"Disgusting couple!" Mo Tianxing growled through gritted teeth, jealousy twisting his face into a mask of rage.
Silver Dou Qi erupted from his body, distorting the space around him like the trembling mouth of a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.
"Sect Master…" Feng Elder swallowed nervously, unable to hold back his voice.
Their enemy had reinforcements, and yet their side had nothing. Not even his younger brother, who had pursued the girl, had returned. The best choice now was to retreat!
"Shut up!" Mo Tianxing roared, his voice exploding like a shockwave. The blast struck Feng Elder, sending him flying and forcing him to cough up blood.
Feng Elder's face darkened, but he used the momentum of the blast to quietly distance himself from the fight, preparing to escape. If the opportunity arose, he would take Mo Tianxing with him but if things went south, he wouldn't hesitate to run alone. Sect masters could always be replaced.
Not far away, Mo Tianxing's roar snapped Medusa out of her daze. Her slender brows furrowed slightly as she placed her delicate hand against Lu Bu's chest, gently pushing herself out of his embrace.
Lu Bu felt the warmth in his arms disappear and immediately looked toward Mo Tianxing with an annoyed expression.
"That man is no ordinary foe," Medusa said flatly. "He must be the Four Star Dou Zong you mentioned earlier."
Her tone turned suspicious as she added, "What did you do to the Heaven Swallowing Python?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Bu asked, cracking his neck nonchalantly.
"Why is this guy acting like you're his mortal enemy after learning about the Heaven Swallowing Python?"
"Oh, that," Lu Bu said with a casual shrug. "I just used the python to kill his son."
Medusa's cold, beautiful face twitched. No wonder this Black Emperor Sect master was looking at her as if she were his sworn enemy. It wasn't just about his father it was about his son.
"Let's deal with him together," Lu Bu said, cracking his knuckles as the sound of his bones popping filled the air.
"Alright," Medusa nodded slowly. Mo Tianxing had gone too far in his audacity; he deserved to die.
As soon as her words fell, Medusa let out a low shout. Her longsword emitted a piercing hum, the blade's aura shining like a rainbow amidst the dark night. The sword energy coiled like a dragon, leaping forward with a roar.
"Seeking death!" Mo Tianxing roared, leaping high into the air. His arms spread wide like an eagle, then folded as he dove down to attack.
Clang!
His razor sharp silver claws met Medusa's dazzling sword energy head on.
Crack, crack, crack… Boom!
Under the pressure of his ten claws, the sword energy cracked and shattered into countless fragments, scattering like petals in the wind.
"Ha! Come back with me and be my wife!" Mo Tianxing cackled, his five fingers reaching toward Medusa to pull her in.
In an instant, the space around Medusa distorted like rippling water, wrapping around her and dragging her toward Mo Tianxing.
"Hmph!" Medusa's cold smile appeared. You think you're only fighting me?
Whoosh!
A low rumble of thunder echoed as a shadowy figure appeared like a phantom beside Mo Tianxing.
Lu Bu's face was calm, but his eyes radiated killing intent. His hand pressed gently against Mo Tianxing's exposed side.
"W what?!"
Mo Tianxing's pupils shrank in shock. He saw a cyan energy crystal forming in the young man's palm a seemingly insignificant object, yet one that emitted an ominous, heart stopping energy.
"Mountain Crushing Seal!" Lu Bu sneered, his wrist trembling as a torrent of violent energy surged out from his palm.
This brat wasn't even a Dou Wang how could he launch such a powerful attack?!
Terrified, Mo Tianxing acted quickly. Silver light erupted from his body, and layers of distorted space formed an impenetrable barrier around him.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion tore through the sky. A shockwave of visible energy rippled outward, shaking the heavens.
Pfft!
Mo Tianxing was sent hurtling backward like a cannonball, blood spraying from his mouth in torrents.
"Retreat!" Mo Tianxing roared through gritted teeth as he fled toward the horizon.
The brief clash had revealed the truth: with two Dou Zongs against him, he couldn't win. Escape was his only option.
"You think you can run that easily?" Lu Bu chuckled darkly. "Your Majesty, shall we chase him down?"
But before he could finish, Lu Bu turned to find Medusa's aura flickering erratically. The seven colored light around her shimmered, and her condition seemed unstable.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Lu Bu paused, more concerned about Medusa than pursuing Mo Tianxing.
Before he could react, Medusa suddenly lunged forward, throwing herself into his arms and wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. Her body felt… unusually warm.
"Lu… Lu Bu…"
"Uh…" Lu Bu scratched his head awkwardly, his face slightly flushed.
"Well… I have a reputation to uphold. Your Majesty, please behave yourself…"
