Destroying Protector Wu

Xiao Tian: Come on, trash. Thanks to you, I get to experience the strength of a Dou Zong too!

Protector Wu: Hmph, so what if you have the strength of a Dou Zong? You're merely a two-star early-stage Dou Zong. I'm a seven-star high-stage Dou Zong!

Xiao Tian: Then let's give it a try. We'll also see whose secret technique lasts longer! "Hmph, arrogant brat. This Protector will definitely finish you off before the secret technique ends."

"Soul Locking Chain!"

"Mountain Splitting Seal!"

Boom! Relying on his high-tier Dou Technique, Xiao Tian suppressed Protector Wu's attack. Xiao Tian knew that although he could withstand Protector Wu's attacks for now, Protector Wu still had the advantage in cultivation level. He could not drag this out! He had to end it quickly.

Seeing Xiao Tian charge at him again, Protector Wu rushed forward as well. Clang! Clang! The two clashed once more.

"Sea Turning Seal!"

Protector Wu grew more anxious as the battle continued. Every Dou Technique Xiao Tian unleashed was stronger than the last! Facing Xiao Tian's incoming attack, he barely managed to hold it off.

He was pushed back a considerable distance before finally stopping. Hmph, brat, I never expected that your enhancing secret technique would even greatly increase your own strength!

Protector Wu was no longer coveting the treasures on Xiao Tian. Instead, he wanted to eliminate them all once the secret technique backlash struck. Otherwise, he might truly be the one left here today!

"Moro Myriad Manifestations!" He wielded the Soul Locking Chain and launched an all-out attack at Xiao Tian, while Xiao Tian resisted with all his strength.

Below them, Yun Shan felt as though his emotions had gone through wild ups and downs today! One moment there was hope, yet before he could celebrate, despair followed immediately. Watching the battle between Xiao Tian and Protector Wu left him utterly shaken.

He had thought that after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, he would already be the ruler of the Jia Ma Empire. Only after witnessing a battle between Dou Zongs today did he realize how ridiculous he had been.

Either one of the two men in the sky could defeat him without taking much time. This was a battle between true powerhouses!!

On Misty Cloud Mountain, the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect could also sense waves of fighting coming from the rear mountain. Even within the mountain-protecting formation, they could feel how terrifyingly powerful the energy surging over was!

Yun Yun looked at the two figures standing in the air above and said to Lu Man, "How is your recovery? Let's go help him." Lu Man said, "I've mostly recovered. Let's go see how your teacher is doing."

The two women walked over to Yun Shan and told him what they had in mind. Yun Shan said, "Alright. We'll attack together and give him a fatal blow."

Meanwhile, Protector Wu, who was fighting Xiao Tian, did not notice the three below. Protector Wu said, "Hmph, brat, you should surrender now!"

Xiao Tian said, "Are you running out of steam? If you are, hurry up and kneel to lick my boots. If I'm in a good mood, I might even give you a quick death!"

"Ultimate Wind: Setting!"

"Ultimate Wind: Sunset Shine!"

"Withered Wood Thorns!"

While Protector Wu was talking to Xiao Tian, the three behind him launched their attacks. Though a sneak attack was somewhat shameful, this concerned life and death. Who had time to care about that?

The reason Xiao Tian had been wasting words with him was to distract him. The moment he saw the three attack, Xiao Tian instantly teleported backward and gathered the Heavenly Flames in his hand.

"Dragon's Wrath: Light Wave!"

When Protector Wu saw the three people sneak attack him from behind, he was about to retaliate, but Xiao Tian in front of him also struck in an instant! Damn it.

Compared to the energy behind him, the attack in front was even more terrifying. He gathered all his strength and attacked Xiao Tian. Break for me!! Boom! The three powerful attacks that followed also slammed into Protector Wu's body.

Boom! Boom! A massive mushroom cloud exploded in the sky. Yun Shan and the other two collapsed onto the ground after exhausting all their strength.

Yun Shan coughed. "I wonder whether that kid Xiao Tian is alright!"

Xiao Tian had also nearly exhausted all his strength. He was barely able to remain standing in the sky, his body covered in wounds. Even his high-grade defensive clothing had been destroyed. Unable to hold himself up any longer, he began falling toward the ground.

At that moment, a streak of purple light flashed out and caught Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian opened his eyes and saw Medusa, completely naked. With just one glance from him, Medusa took out clothes from her storage ring and put them on.

Medusa's face reddened as she said, "What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll gouge out your eyes." Xiao Tian did not tease or bicker with her. Instead, he said seriously, "Wear clothes when you come out next time! I don't want anyone besides me to see you like that."

Medusa smiled upon hearing that. "How I am is my own freedom! What does it have to do with you? And how did you get so badly hurt? Who injured you?"

Xiao Tian coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. Pointing ahead, he said, "Go take a look. See whether that gloomy bastard is dead. If he isn't, kill him!" After saying that, he could no longer hold on and fainted.

But Xiao Tian had overthought it. His all-out attack just now had already blasted Protector Wu's soul and body into nothing but fragments.

Medusa rushed over and circled the area several times, but she did not find the person Xiao Tian had mentioned. While she had been asleep, she had also sensed a sinister energy, which was why she had awakened. After coming out, she saw only the heavily injured Xiao Tian falling from the sky, nothing else.

As the mushroom cloud slowly dispersed, Yun Yun and the others below did not see Protector Wu. Instead, they saw Medusa, the queen of the desert! Yun Yun relaxed. After all, Xiao Tian had helped Medusa so much. Judging from the way she held Xiao Tian, she did not seem intent on harming him.

Yun Shan and Lu Man also saw Medusa. Yun Shan exclaimed, "Queen Medusa, why are you here?!" He had encountered Medusa back when he was still a Dou Emperor. The moment he saw that enchanting face, he recognized her, but he had never expected Medusa to appear here.

Medusa merely glanced at him indifferently before looking down at the person in her arms. She said flatly, "The person who fought him just now is already dead. He was blasted to pieces."

Yun Yun asked, "Queen Medusa, how is Xiao Tian? Is he alright?"

Medusa said, "He's fine. I'm taking him away to treat his injuries. You can deal with your own matters." With that, she prepared to leave. Yun Yun said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but there's no need to trouble you. We can treat him ourselves."

Yun Yun thought, If I let you take him away, what am I supposed to do? The way Medusa looks at Xiao Tian is exactly how I looked at him in the valley before! This is not good.

Medusa also understood Yun Yun's meaning, but she said coldly, "I am taking him away. You should mind your own business." Yun Yun said, "You... don't you dislike him?!"

Medusa said, "Whether I like him or not is none of your business! I'm taking him." With that, she flew out of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Watching Medusa fly away, Yun Yun clenched her teeth and shouted furiously at the two retreating figures, "Damn it!! Stinking Xiao Tian, if you dare do anything you shouldn't, I'll kill you!!"

Medusa heard her but did not respond. However, Xiao Tian in her arms heard it clearly. Though he was severely injured, his soul was unharmed. Tsk... jealous women are the scariest!!

Yun Shan walked over and looked at Yun Yun's reddened eyes. "Yun'er, let's go back and recover first. Staring after them won't do anything. Besides, they've already gone far away!"

Lu Man said, "That's right, Yun Yun. Once we recover, let's go find Qing Lin first. Xiao Tian will definitely go look for Qing Lin after he recovers. Besides, doesn't he still need to go to the imperial capital for the alchemist competition?"

After Yun Shan and Lu Man persuaded her, the three returned to the Misty Cloud Sect.

Three days later, inside a cave, Xiao Tian opened his eyes. Looking around at the empty surroundings, where there was nothing at all, he slowly sat up. "Cough, cough... Hiss—damn System, this backlash was actually this severe." The pain coursing through his body broke him out in a cold sweat.

At that moment, a graceful purple figure walked in. Looking at the battered Xiao Tian, she said, "You're awake?" Xiao Tian replied, "Yeah, I'm awake. Say, big sis, how many days was I out?" "Three days," she answered in the same indifferent tone.

Xiao Tian said, "Three days? Why haven't any of my injuries healed at all? Don't tell me you didn't use any medicine on me these past three days?" "No. I didn't know what medicine to use. I only gave you the medicine that restores Dou Qi." "Hiss—what a heartless woman!!"

Xiao Tian said, "Go find me some herbs." Then he described the appearance of several medicinal herbs to her. Medusa said, "I am not your servant! Why should I gather herbs for you?"

Hearing that, Xiao Tian choked and began coughing. "Cough, cough... I'm saying, big sis, if you didn't want me to recover, then why did you take me away?!" "I simply didn't want to leave you with Yun Yun. That's all. Who knew you'd be so troublesome?"

Xiao Tian said, "Then, for the sake of how badly I'm hurting all over, could you help me gather some herbs?" "Fine. I'll help you this once, as repayment for the help you gave me."

Xiao Tian could only feel exhausted. Damn it, this damned tsundere woman!!
