Three Types of Heavenly Flames

At the center of the Snake People Clan, Gu He faced the two Snake People Dou Wangs atop the city wall and said, "I am Gu He. I seek an audience with Queen Medusa!"

Medusa flew up and said coldly, "Pill King Gu He? You brought three Dou Huangs, four Dou Wangs, and three Dou Lings to see me. Are you here to start a war?"

Gu He said, "I did not come to wage war against Your Majesty, nor do I intend to provoke you. Half a year ago, I discovered a Heavenly Flame in the desert. A few days ago, after preparing everything I needed, I went to refine it and saw you leaving from inside. I believe the Heavenly Flame should be with you. I have come today only to make a trade."

Medusa said, "The Heavenly Flame is not with me. I went there for nothing as well. It was taken away long ago!"

Gu He chuckled. "Your Majesty must be joking. I believe that, for Queen Medusa, a Heavenly Flame cannot be refined. After all, the Snake People's bloodline is yin and cold, making it impossible to devour a Heavenly Flame, correct? I am willing to offer one Shape-Shifting Pill and two Dou Ling Pills in exchange for the Heavenly Flame!"

Medusa said blandly, "I already told you, the Heavenly Flame is not with me. Do you understand? If you do, then get lost."

Hai Bodong came before Gu He and said, "Are you sure she took the Heavenly Flame? If it was truly her, she should have been injured, yet I do not sense any weakening in her aura!"

Gu He said, "There is absolutely no mistake. Though I do not know why she refuses to admit it, the Heavenly Flame is definitely in her hands. The moment she left that place, the Heavenly Flame disappeared. It could not have been anyone else but her!"

Gu He turned to Medusa again. "I truly do not wish to become enemies with Your Majesty, but Heavenly Flames are far too important to Alchemists! If Your Majesty refuses to hand it over, then we can only resort to force."

Medusa smiled. "Enough nonsense. If you want a fight, come." With a leap, she clashed with Jia Xing Tian, Yun Yun, and Hai Bodong, the three Dou Huang powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire.

The Dou Wangs Gu He had brought, along with Gu He himself, also began fighting the Snake People Clan's Dou Wangs. An intense battle erupted at once.

Three Dou Huangs besieged Medusa alone, yet they could not gain the slightest advantage. This woman truly was formidable.

Xiao Tian watched nearby with Qing Lin, planning to appear later. That foolish woman actually dared to help that old bastard Gu He! The thought made him unhappy.

In the sky, Medusa said coolly, "Hmph, so it is Jia Xing Tian, the royal guardian of the Jia Ma Empire. Old man, you came too. It seems your Jia Ma Empire intends to wage an all-out war against my Snake People Clan!"

Because of the hatred born from being sealed, Hai Bodong had long wished for revenge. Thus, when Gu He invited him, he came without hesitation. Only now, seeking to erase his past humiliation, did he realize just how vast the gap between himself and Medusa was! Damn it, if that old Jia fellow were not here, I would surely die today. "Everyone, attack together!"

"Mysterious Crystal Thorn Wall!"

"Wind's End, Setting Sun Glory!"

"Mountain Splitting Rock Cracking!"

"Demonic Snake Devour!"

Boom! Four powerful Dou Techniques detonated at once. Hai Bodong shouted, "Queen Medusa, it is time to settle our grievances!" A powerful surge of icy energy burst forth.

"Mysterious Ice Thorn!"

"Wind's End, Fallen!"

"Earth Splitting Blast!"

Three streams of energy shot toward Medusa. Medusa did not retreat either, gathering all the Dou Qi in her body.

"Coiling Snake Hand!" "Ten Thousand Snakes Entwine!"

Boom! As expected of Medusa, who possessed the strength of a peak Dou Huang—even under the fierce siege of three Dou Huangs, she remained at ease!

After blocking that wave of attacks, Medusa charged directly at Yun Yun. After all, Yun Yun was the weakest among the three. Taking one down first was better than none.

Yun Yun also saw Medusa charging toward her. Left with no choice, she could only meet her head-on. After all, she was not among the weak of the Dou Huang class.

"Wind's End, Fallen!"

Medusa had not expected her to still be able to unleash such a forceful Dou Technique, and she flashed back. This time, her condition had become quite poor.

The three immediately surrounded her. Jia Xing Tian said, "Queen Medusa, we came with Gu He only in search of the Heavenly Flame. If you are willing to hand it over, we will leave at once."

Medusa said coldly, "Old man, I have already said that I did not obtain the Heavenly Flame." "If that is the case, then do not blame us."

"Earth Melting Method!"

"Mysterious Ice Whirlwind Kill!"

"Great Sorrow Wind Tearing Hand!"

Three powerful attacks surged toward Medusa. After taking one blow head-on, she had already reached her limit. She no longer had much Dou Qi left to continue fighting.

I failed to protect the Snake People Clan. How hateful! As she watched two streams of energy crashing toward her, Medusa closed her beautiful eyes. Just as she did, she felt her delicate body being pulled into someone's embrace. Boom! A mushroom cloud erupted!

The Snake People atop the city walls all glared furiously at the humans in the sky, while Yue Mei and Mo Bass looked at the mushroom cloud and cried, "Your Majesty!"

As the smoke dispersed, everyone who believed Medusa had been dealt with discovered that an unknown powerhouse had appeared before them, holding Medusa in his arms.

The Snake People Clan rejoiced, while Jia Xing Tian and the others were far from pleased! Who was this person?

Gu He said, "I am Gu He. May I ask who you are, and why you are interfering in the affairs between us and the Snake People Clan?"

Xiao Tian was busy examining the woman in his arms. How could he have time to pay Gu He any attention? Medusa wore a purple brocade robe that outlined her perfect, delicate body. She exuded a faint charm, and her beautiful purple hair fell casually over her shoulders. Beneath her robe, her purple snake tail swayed slightly, radiating a bewitching allure that sent Xiao Tian's imagination running wild.

Medusa said coldly, "Have you seen enough, human?" Shame and anger filled her heart. If she had not been weak all over right now, she would have wanted to strangle him to death! This shameless human was staring at her so openly with those lecherous eyes!

Xiao Tian said, "Not yet. I think I can keep looking for a while." Then he looked at Gu He and said blandly, "If I choose to interfere in this matter today, what can you do about it?"

Gasp! Since Xiao Tian had arrived wearing a white robe, Yun Yun and Hai Bodong did not know that he was Xiao Tian.

Yun Yun said, "We came only for the Heavenly Flame. I ask that you please do not interfere."

Seeing Yun Yun still daring to speak up for Gu He made Xiao Tian even more displeased. With a flash, he appeared before Yun Yun. He was so fast that no one could react. One arm held Medusa, while his other hand caught Yun Yun's attack.

Xiao Tian said blandly, "Foolish woman, are you asking to be taught a lesson? You still dare fight back?" As he spoke, he teleported behind Yun Yun and smacked her pert little backside. Smack!

Yun Yun's face immediately reddened. "You..." But the voice from earlier sounded very familiar. She did not attack again and instead asked, "Xiao Tian?"

Xiao Tian no longer concealed himself. He directly removed his white robe and stored it in his storage ring. Everyone was shocked, especially Hai Bodong. Half a year ago, he clearly remembered that Xiao Tian had only been at most a Dou Ling! Now, he could not see through him at all.

The others were shocked because he was so young, and he seemed to know Sect Leader Yun Yun.

Medusa was even more surprised. This overbearing man still refused to let go of her, holding her tightly the entire time. And his speed just now—even she had failed to react to it!

Xiao Tian said, "Foolish woman, what did I tell you? Have you forgotten? You still dared to run around with that old bastard Gu He?" Yun Yun said, "I... I was helping you look for the Heavenly Flame."

Hai Bodong suddenly remembered that Medusa had been telling the truth—the Heavenly Flame had been taken away by Xiao Tian! But what was his relationship with Medusa? Why had he saved her?

Ignoring Yun Yun, Xiao Tian said to Gu He, "I will give you one minute. Get out of the desert, or remain here forever."

Gasp!

Gu He said, "Sir, do not be too arrogant! I, Pill King Gu He, am at least a sixth-tier Alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire. Do you truly intend to become enemies with me?"

Xiao Tian said, "A sixth-tier piece of trash, not a ninth-tier one. Who gave you the courage to spout nonsense before me?" As he spoke, three fused Heavenly Flames ignited in his hand. He looked at Gu He and said, "Didn't you want a Heavenly Flame? Let me tell you, this is a new Heavenly Flame formed from the fusion of three Heavenly Flames. Want to experience it?"

Jia Xing Tian and the others were stunned as they felt that powerful energy! Just who was this young man? He could actually refine three Heavenly Flames!

Xiao Tian said, "Hey, you have half a minute left."

Jia Xing Tian said, "Please calm your anger, sir. We shall take our leave now!" He immediately pulled Gu He along, and the group left. Hai Bodong said, "Brother Xiao Tian, since you know Queen Medusa, I shall take my leave as well! Sect Leader Yun Yun, shall we leave together?"

Just as Yun Yun was about to speak, Xiao Tian said, "She stays with me. You all leave first!"

Gu He said, "Sir, if this is because of today's battle, I am willing to offer compensation. Please let Yun Yun go!"

Xiao Tian grabbed Yun Yun's hand to keep her from running, then said to Gu He, "Get lost, get lost, get lost! I am keeping my wife. What the hell does it have to do with you? If you were not my wife's subordinate, would I even bother talking to you?"

Yun Yun's face reddened. Seeing her hand held tightly, she felt a little angry! This little bastard—he was hugging another woman over there, yet he still dared flirt with her so openly!!!

Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bodong did not waste any words, directly dragging Gu He away.

With a teleport, Xiao Tian brought Medusa and Yun Yun to the cave where Qing Lin was. Seeing Xiao Tian return with two women, Qing Lin still obediently said, "Big Brother, are you done?" "Mm."

Xiao Tian placed Medusa on the ground, then said to Yun Yun, "What did I tell you when we parted? You still dared to run around with Gu He?" Seeing Xiao Tian jealous made Yun Yun quite happy, but when she remembered that he had been holding Medusa the whole time, she immediately became unhappy. She reached for Xiao Tian's waist and pinched him. "I wanted to! Hmph!"

Gasp! "Wife, that hurts, that hurts! Let go, let go! I was wrong! I won't dare again!"

Medusa watched Xiao Tian, who had been so domineering moments ago, get subdued by a woman. This shameless man! Then she said, "Disgusting!"

Hearing Medusa's words, Yun Yun released Xiao Tian. After all, there were others present, so she had to leave him some face.

Xiao Tian said, "Rub it for me!!" "No," Yun Yun said with a huff. Xiao Tian directly picked Yun Yun up. "If you will not rub it, then I will not be polite. We have not seen each other in so long." Seeing Xiao Tian's wicked grin, Yun Yun knew exactly what he wanted to do. If no one else were around, it would have been one thing, but with two other women here, she was too embarrassed. She could only compromise.
