As the two exchanged banter, a beam of light suddenly shot skyward from within the queen's sleeping palace, piercing straight through the clouds.
In the next instant, two vast auras spread out, blanketing the entire Serpent-People Holy City. Countless residents of the city, sensing these overwhelming presences, rushed out into the streets and stared blankly at the two figures standing in the sky.
The man was tall and handsome, exuding a rare air of carefree elegance. Who else could it be but Xiao Yan?
The woman, on the other hand, possessed a bewitching figure and an exquisitely beautiful face—enough to enchant all living beings.
"It's the Queen. The Queen has returned!"Countless serpent-people revealed looks of fervent excitement.
In their hearts, the Queen was the strongest of the Serpent-People race. With her return, the race would once again enter a period of stability and peace.
However, when they noticed that Medusa's former snake tail had transformed into a seven-colored long dress, curiosity and confusion appeared on their faces.
Only those experts who had reached the Dou Ling realm or above understood what this meant—the Queen had broken through her bottleneck and reached an even higher level.
And when they turned their gazes to the black-clothed youth standing opposite her, countless guesses arose in their minds.
"So this is the Xiao Yan whom the higher-ups called a heaven-sent savior?"
Many of the Serpent-People experts looked at the upright young man in the sky with doubtful eyes.
Ever since Yue Mei and the others had returned, Xiao Yan's deeds and strength had been widely praised throughout the Serpent-People race. Yet most of the lower- and mid-level members were unwilling to accept that a human could become their savior.
However, the powerful aura Xiao Yan displayed upon arriving at the Serpent-People territory days earlier forced many to acknowledge his strength. Still, in their hearts, they believed that he should not be a match for the Queen.
"These below are all your subjects of the royal city. If they were to see you defeated here, I'm afraid your prestige among the Serpent-People wouldn't be as strong as it is now."
High in the sky, Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at Medusa.
"If you're worried that losing here would affect your authority, why don't we change locations and fight somewhere else?"
Medusa sneered faintly. "No need. This Queen refuses to believe I can't defeat a mere brat like you."
Provoked by her cold mockery, a trace of hostility finally appeared on Xiao Yan's youthful face.
"How bold—to mock this young master for being young."
Just wait. I'll show you exactly how I conquer you.
With that thought, Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "In that case, make your move. Let me see just how powerful this so-called Seven-Colored Heaven-Devouring Python bloodline really is."
Even though Medusa had already preliminarily fused the Heaven-Devouring Python bloodline and her cultivation had reached the level of a two- or even three-star Dou Zong, she still had nothing to boast about before Xiao Yan.
Moreover, ever since her breakthrough, the Medusa that had been sleeping inside Xiao Yan's sleeve likely had no idea what had been happening outside. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have dared to fight him so lightly.
Medusa narrowed her long, beautiful eyes slightly, her crimson lips parting as she said calmly, "Then you'd better be careful."
"I think you're the one who should be careful."The thought had just flashed through Xiao Yan's mind when Medusa's figure began to fade where she stood.
Unfortunately for her, facing Xiao Yan—whose soul power was already nearing that of an eighth-grade alchemist—her position was as clear as a blazing target on a radar.
After inheriting the legacy of the Seven-Colored Demon Sage, Medusa possessed various high-level Dou Techniques and cultivation methods. Though her aura had yet to reach three-star Dou Zong, Xiao Yan estimated she could already battle an ordinary four-star Dou Zong.
Sadly for her, Xiao Yan now found it difficult to encounter an opponent below the Dou Zun realm.
At a certain moment, Xiao Yan—who had remained motionless—suddenly turned around. His hand stretched out in an eerie manner, piercing through space itself and firmly grasping a slender, jade-like feminine hand.
The instant her hand was seized, Medusa's expression changed. Before she could fully react, her body was yanked out of the spatial rift and pulled directly into Xiao Yan's embrace.
With strength comparable to a three-star Dou Zong, she was utterly powerless against Xiao Yan's overwhelming force.
"Your Majesty, how was that?"Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at the enchanting beauty in his arms.
"H-How can your strength be this terrifying?" Medusa's alluring face was filled with disbelief.
She had originally thought Xiao Yan's cultivation might have been artificially boosted, believing that reaching five-star Dou Zong at such a young age was unimaginable and must have involved family backing.
Yet the solidity of his Dou Qi and the steadiness of his power made her heart tremble.
This youth truly possessed strength far beyond her own.
"Well? Didn't you say that if someone defeated you, they could become your man? Heh heh."
Xiao Yan chuckled mischievously, only to be gently pushed away.
"That was merely a mistake just now," Medusa replied coldly, though a faint blush crept onto her jade-like face.
As one of the former peak experts of the Tagor Desert, she knew full well that if such a blow could be considered a 'mistake,' she would have died dozens of times already.
Xiao Yan merely smiled, unconcerned by her stubbornness.
"If you won't accept it, then I'll beat you until you do."
Letting go of her hand, he said lightly, "Go ahead and attack. Today, this young master will make you completely convinced."
Medusa's face no longer flushed. She unleashed one scheme and bizarre Dou Technique after another, yet all of them were rendered useless before absolute strength.
Every attack was seen through in advance, neutralized effortlessly—and she was even casually restrained in the process.
"This is the final attack. If you can block this, I will acknowledge your strength."
After being given five concessions in a row, even Medusa felt somewhat embarrassed.
By now, she already understood that the youth before her was indeed far stronger than herself. What remained was merely a trace of bashful pride in her heart.
"If you win this time, does that mean we can enter the bridal chamber?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.
"Shameless!" Medusa choked.
Was that something one could say out loud?
As these thoughts crossed her mind, her hands had already begun forming one mysterious seal after another.
"Earth-tier High-Level Dou Technique: Seven-Colored Heaven-Cleaving Strike!"
As her words fell, a gigantic seven-colored snake tail, dozens of meters long, appeared in the sky. Carrying power that made space itself tremble, it lashed straight toward Xiao Yan.
