Medusa's appearance instantly caused all the women present, including Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian, to pale in comparison.
That perfect face, a blend of cold elegance, charm, and enchantment, along with a perfect figure that could make any woman die of jealousy, all showcased her otherworldly charm.
Hearing Chen Yang's inquiry, Medusa turned to look at him, her cold voice, so charming it could almost make a man's bones go soft, slowly rang out: "This Queen didn't want to come out. It was that Sky Swallowing Python who heard you might not be able to beat that guy and begged me to come out and help you!"
Chen Yang's lips curled into a smile upon hearing this: "Oh? She begged you, so you came out?"
A flash of bashful annoyance crossed Medusa's face, and she glared fiercely at Chen Yang: "If you say another word, this Queen is going back!"
Chen Yang chuckled and reached out to grab Medusa's hand: "Since you're out, don't go back. Once things are settled here, I want you to accompany me to the Izumo Empire!"
Medusa struggled to pull her hand away from Chen Yang's, glanced at Xiao Yi Xian and the other girls in the distance, and gave Chen Yang another flirtatious glare: "This Queen has no interest in that. After helping you kill him, I'm going back to the Snake-People Tribe!"
Listening to the woman's stubborn words and seeing those little gestures, Chen Yang stopped pressuring her: "Then we'll talk in detail after we kill him first!"
Medusa said nothing more. Xiao Yan, watching this from the side, secretly gave Chen Yang a thumbs up. Brother Yang was truly impressive, flirting with another woman in broad daylight right in front of his other wives.
This was only possible for Brother Yang. If he were to do this, although Xun'er's temperament wouldn't lead her to hit him, she would definitely make a scene.
Chen Yang glanced indifferently at Xiao Yan, thinking to himself, 'What are you jealous of, kid?'
'Do you understand your brother's happiness?'
'Sigh... you can't even imagine my happiness!!!'
A few strange thoughts flashed through Chen Yang's mind before he turned his gaze toward Protector Wu.
At this moment, Protector Wu had finally finished devouring those Souls. As the black mist continued to shrink, Protector Wu was revealed in the center. This newly reappeared Protector Wu was covered in a layer of pitch-black armor. The armor was hideously covered with the faces of the Cloud Mist Sect Elders and Yun Shan, looking utterly grim.
"Jie jie jie... Kid, unless a Dou Zun expert comes to save you today, you are undoubtedly dead!" After speaking, Protector Wu lunged straight at Chen Yang.
"I thought you would break through to a Six-Star Dou Zong, but you only broke through by one star. You dare to be arrogant before this seat?" Under Chen Yang's Eye of Delusion Breaking Gold, Protector Wu's strength was laid bare. That seemingly overwhelming Aura was merely that of a Five-Star Dou Zong.
"Five stars is enough to kill you!" Protector Wu sneered. His withered hands were covered in a grim Soul Qi, and the eerie, miserable screams of Souls were constant, as if they wanted to devour one's very spirit.
"I don't even need my two companions to take action to deal with you!" Chen Yang gave a disdainful smile, stowed the Long Rainbow Sword into his storage ring, and then quickly formed hand seals. The dark red Volcanic Stone Flame immediately surged from his body, and a flame mark appeared between his brows.
"Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, First Transformation — Stone Flame Transformation!"
"Boom!" Instantly, Chen Yang's Aura reached the level of a Four-Star Dou Zong.
In reality, the power of the first transformation of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations combined with the Volcanic Stone Flame wasn't enough to raise Chen Yang's strength by a full star. However, the Dou Qi cultivation bestowed by the System was always at the Peak of each star. Furthermore, the version of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations Chen Yang obtained was the optimized version, making him equivalent to Xiao Yan with a Clan Tattoo.
Thus, even with just one transformation, Chen Yang possessed the strength of a Four-Star Dou Zong.
"A secret technique???"
"Dammit, I should have anticipated this!"
Seeing Chen Yang's Aura surge, Protector Wu gritted his teeth. He wanted to flee, but staying here meant death, and leaving also meant death.
Ever since Chen Yang appeared in the Jia Ma Empire, he should have reported this information immediately. But for the sake of that meager merit, he had concealed it, planning to join forces with the Cloud Mist Sect to kill Chen Yang and then take down the Xiao Family.
Now that things had reached this point, whether he reported it or not, he was a dead man.
However, if he happened to kill Chen Yang and take back that Ancient Emperor Jade, only the merit would remain.
Killing the God-Child of an Ancient Family and obtaining the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade—with these two merits combined, he might even have the chance to become an Elder Zun.
Consequently, Protector Wu's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. The energy throughout his body surged again as he charged recklessly toward Chen Yang.
"Heh... the struggle of a cornered beast!"
"Earth-Tier High-Grade Dou Technique — Heaven Burning Finger!!!"
Chen Yang whispered softly and pointed his finger toward Protector Wu.
In an instant, Protector Wu, who was less than three meters from Chen Yang, felt as if he had flown into a quagmire. Clearly, this three-meter distance could be crossed in the blink of an eye, yet he simply couldn't fly through it.
And that wasn't even the most terrifying part.
Through his gloomy eyes, he saw a small spark slowly rise from Chen Yang's right index finger, which then continued to shrink, shrink, shrink...
Until it shrank to the point where he could no longer see it, then it suddenly expanded. The pillar of fire formed by that spark was actually even thicker than the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Amethyst Seal.
"Go!"
"Boom!"
The dark red pillar of fire lunged straight at Protector Wu. Three meters wasn't even enough time for a single blink. Everyone saw the pillar of fire instantly swallow Protector Wu, and he didn't even leave a scream behind before turning into ashes and dissipating into the world.
*Gulp...*
The people present swallowed hard as they witnessed this scene.
"This... this is only an Earth-Tier High-Grade Dou Technique? Then how terrifying must the legendary Heaven Rank Dou Skill be?" Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao in his mind.
"A Heaven Rank Dou Skill is no longer something a Dou Zong or Dou Zun can master!" Yao Lao also gave a bitter smile. "With Kid Chen's foundation, this Earth-Tier High-Grade Dou Technique is likely already comparable to a Heaven Rank one."
Xiao Yan nodded in deep agreement. He had originally thought about helping out, but now it seemed... tsk tsk...
Medusa looked at Chen Yang, a faint, imperceptible trace of admiration flashing in her charming eyes.
The Snake-People Tribe admired the strong, and Medusa even more so.
This man, who had broken into the Snake-People Tribe, easily taken her away from the four Elders, and stayed with her evolved body day and night, had long since quietly entered her heart. It was just that her pride had not yet been completely broken, and she hadn't yet crossed that hurdle in her own heart.
"This is bad, Young Master!" Just as Medusa was lost in thought, Qing Lin suddenly shouted, "Something has happened to the Xiao Family!"
"The Xiao Family?" Xiao Yan was stunned and turned to look at Chen Yang in a panic. The resilient youth immediately lost his composure upon hearing something related to his family.
Chen Yang looked at Qing Lin, and she nodded: "White Fang is still alive!"
"Don't worry, I've made arrangements for the Xiao Family. Your father and the others were moved to the Mittel Family after we left. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor is dealing with things at the Xiao Family. You just need to rush back and deal with those scumbags!" Chen Yang said.
"Thank you, Brother Yang. I'll head out first, and we'll meet at the Xiao Family later!" Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang gratefully, nodded heavily, and the green Dou Qi Wings on his back suddenly turned white as he lunged straight toward the Imperial Capital.
Meanwhile, Chen Yang looked at the devastated Cloud Mist Sect and flew toward Yun Yun...
