Three Dou Techniques Materialize

"I am not your pet!"

Medusa's beautiful face was filled with frost.

Su Yun raised a brow and brushed his finger across his Storage Ring again. A crimson pill spun between his fingers, its rich medicinal fragrance instantly overwhelming the incense within the hall.

Medusa's red lips parted, then immediately pressed shut again. In the end, she could only snort coldly in protest.

"The Three Great Empires will never tolerate the Snake-People Race producing a Dou Zong expert. If the Jia Ma Empire falls, the Snake-People Tribe will be next to suffer. You should think this through carefully."

Su Yun spoke softly.

Medusa fell silent.

That was right. Just as Su Yun had said, the Three Great Empires were even more wary of the Snake-People Race than they were of the Jia Ma Empire.

The reason was simple.

The Jia Ma Empire might not expand its territory even if its strength increased dramatically. But if the Snake-People Race produced a Dou Zong expert, they would certainly move their tribe out of the Tagor Desert!

The Snake-People bloodline was cold and yin in nature. Their centuries of hiding in the desert had merely been a helpless choice forced upon them by human suppression.

Had she not yet fully subdued the soul of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Medusa would have returned to her tribe long ago to prepare for this matter.

"But..."

Medusa still wanted to negotiate the terms.

Su Yun's expression turned slightly cold. "Once, twice, but not a third time. This Sect Master's patience is limited!"

A vast Dou Zong aura suddenly erupted. The air throughout the entire hall froze at once, while the overburdened space let out cracking sounds.

Medusa's expression grew grave. Compared to when they had first met in the desert, his aura had become far stronger—bottomless as an abyss, vast as the sea, like a veil of mist that concealed his true depths...

The Woeful Poison Body was truly blessed by heaven. Even though she had completed her transformation and become an ancient variant such as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, she still did not dare claim she could contend with Su Yun...

"Fine. I agree."

"Excellent."

The terrifying aura dispersed, and a smile returned to Su Yun's face.

Medusa was startled, unable for a moment to tell which face was the real Su Yun—or whether both were merely disguises...

"In this war, the Three Great Empires will certainly lose. When the time comes, you may take half their territory as the future domain of the Snake-People Tribe."

"Thank you."

Medusa's expression gradually softened. This man seemed domineering and unyielding on the surface, but he still had her in mind...

"Mm. Once this battle is over, you won't need to follow me anymore. Return to the Snake-People Tribe and oversee the migration of your people."

Medusa stared at him in astonishment. "You're willing to let me go?"

"This Sect Master has always been generous. You've simply been prejudiced against me."

Su Yun remained calm, though that was not what he truly thought.

Once the Jia Ma Empire's affairs were settled, he would begin arranging the next Heavenly Lies. How could he possibly allow Medusa to remain at his side?

This was Su Yun's greatest secret.

Heavenly Lies could only succeed; it could not fail. He would not tolerate even the slightest risk!

"Fine."

Medusa pursed her lips.

"From the look on your face, you seem a little reluctant to leave?"

"How could I be!"

The corners of Su Yun's lips curved upward.

Medusa gritted her teeth. Knowing she could not gain an advantage over Su Yun verbally, she simply returned control of her body to the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

Her body shifted and transformed back into a tiny seven-colored snake.

"Hiss, hiss."

The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python coiled where it was, confusion filling its vertical pupils as it had no idea what had just happened. Su Yun tossed it the crimson pill, and it happily swallowed it.

"Three Dou Zong-level combatants... Fine, I'll be a little more serious."

After pondering for a moment, Su Yun summoned the system.

"Jade Miasma Ghost Sword" materializing, progress: 92%...

"Poison Absolute Nine Heavens Qi" materializing, progress: 67%...

"Nether Bone Erosion Butterfly" materializing, progress: 96%...

After naturally increasing over this period of time, all three Dou Techniques had made considerable progress. Su Yun had simulated the Jade Miasma Ghost Sword and the Nether Bone Erosion Butterfly before others using his powerful Dou Qi, and their progress was promising.

As for the Poison Absolute Nine Heavens Qi...

"I was actually planning to show off a little when dealing with Yun Shan... Who knew he would kneel so quickly?"

Su Yun suspected that he had been too harsh.

"System, materialize these three Dou Techniques!"

Ding!

Detected Earth-tier Mid-grade Dou Technique "Jade Miasma Ghost Sword" at 92% materialization progress. Requires 800 Truth Points!

Detected Earth-tier Mid-grade Dou Technique "Poison Absolute Nine Heavens Qi" at 67% materialization progress. Requires 3300 Truth Points!

Detected Earth-tier Mid-grade Dou Technique "Nether Bone Erosion Butterfly" at 96% materialization progress. Requires 400 Truth Points!

Materialize?

"Materialize!"

Ding, materialization successful! Deducted 4500 Truth Points!

Remaining Truth Points: 37904.

"Boom—!"

An immense torrent of information flooded Su Yun's mind. Even with his current Soul Power, his head swelled painfully for several breaths.

"Whew..."

A sharp glint flashed through Su Yun's eyes. Only now had he finally learned Dou Techniques.

Before this, he had not known a single one.

"I hope the Dou Zong experts of the Three Great Empires won't disappoint me."

After Su Yun and Medusa reached an agreement, everything that followed became simple.

Medusa wrote a letter and left her aura upon the paper as proof. Hai Bodong personally made a trip to the desert, and the alliance between the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe against the Three Great Empires was finalized.

Meanwhile, Mittel Tengshan recruited men and assembled the army in Su Yun's name. They made all preparations and stood ready to depart.

By the time everything was ready, seven days had passed.

"Set out."

Su Yun stood high in the sky and looked down at the army below. Their marching formation was fairly orderly; the Imperial Family, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family had put considerable effort into that.

Though they were undoubtedly a rabble in Su Yun's eyes, it would be enough as long as they could hold back the armies of the three nations until he defeated the enemy's three Dou Zong-level combatants.

"Wait!"

Just as the army was about to depart, Yun Yun arrived in a moon-white robe, her hair crowned with a phoenix coronet. Noble and elegant, she unfurled her azure Dou Qi Wings, scattering points of light across the sky.

Several hundred Misty Cloud Sect disciples had come with her. Dressed in matching white robes patterned with clouds, they stood in neat formation like a sea of snowy clouds.

Hai Bodong asked in surprise, "Why has Sect Leader Yun come?"

Su Yun stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for Yun Yun to approach.

Yun Yun's expression was solemn as she held her sword and clasped her fist. "Senior Su, regardless of past grievances, the nation now faces calamity. Yun Yun has brought eight hundred disciples, and we are willing to join the campaign and head to the battlefield!"

"We are willing to join the campaign and head to the battlefield!"

The eight hundred Misty Cloud Sect disciples shouted in unison. Nalan Yanran stood at the forefront, her injuries completely healed. Holding a Cloud Patterned Longsword, she looked valiant and heroic.

Nalan Jie's expression was one of gratification at the sight.

Su Yun was slightly surprised, then nodded. "Sect Leader Yun possesses both vision and righteousness. Your bearing far surpasses that of your master."

Yun Yun said, "My master has also approved this matter."

Su Yun's expression remained calm. Given Yun Yun's nature, perhaps she had truly come for the greater good.

As for Yun Shan... he was likely afraid that if the Misty Cloud Sect remained uninvolved, Su Yun would settle accounts afterward.

"Very well."

Su Yun's gaze suddenly sharpened. Dou Qi exploded around him, and in an instant, jade flames surged into the heavens, tearing apart the heavy clouds as boundless golden light poured down from the sky!

"This battle will surely be won; let this fire set the plains ablaze!"
