Something's Wrong-Xiao Yuan Is in Trouble

As Xiao Yuan's voice rang out, Medusa's beautiful, smiling face turned gloomy.

"Human, are you threatening me?"

A cold shout erupted along with the powerful aura of Dou Huang Peak, and under the terrifying pressure, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a few steps back.

When Dou Huang expert truly unleashes his power, his mere Dou Shi strength is simply insufficient.

However, it must be said that his threat truly made Medusa quite wary. Although his strength was not strong, such a rare and precious object as the Heavenly Flames contained extremely terrifying destructive energy. Although it was limited by Xiao Yuan's relatively weak strength and could not truly unleash its power, if it were detonated, even Dou Huang expert would have to avoid its edge.

Moreover, given the current situation, Medusa has everything in place, and success or failure hinges on this one move. Naturally, she would not give up devouring the Heavenly Flames just because Xiao Yuan appeared.

"There's no other way. If I were also Dou Huang expert, I wouldn't mind using the Heavenly Flames within my body to lend Her Your Majesty a hand, along with some high-grade pills, in exchange for the Heavenly Flames in Her Your Majesty's possession."

Unfortunately, I am merely a Dou Shi. Your Majesty you would be too much for my weak arms and legs to bear. Therefore, I have no choice but to use this as leverage.

Xiao Yuan shrugged and said with an innocent look on his face.

"Oh? You mean you trespassed into my Forbidden Area, tried to steal my things, and are completely innocent?"

Medusa asked in a cold voice, her face expressionless.

"No, I only know that Her Your Majesty obtained the Heavenly Flames for a great evolution, but she will not devour it. I will wait here for Her Your Majesty evolution, and then we will make a deal. My master's alchemy skills far surpass those of that so-called Pill King Gu He. I hope Her Your Majesty consider it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled warmly and spoke gently.

At this moment, he showed no fear on his face and felt much more at ease.

He knew that, given Medusa's personality, if she really wanted to kill him, she wouldn't waste time talking here.

Why should I trust you?

Upon hearing this, Medusa's gloomy expression turned into a charming and alluring smile as she stared intently at Xiao Yuan and asked.

"I don't need Her Your Majesty's trust, because there's no need for it at all. In today's situation, Her Your Majesty is already in a bind. Using the Heavenly Flames for evolution is a matter of no return. Besides, if there were no other way, I wouldn't want to die and do something like detonating the Heavenly Flames."

"My existence is indeed a security risk for Your Majesty, but it is clearly not enough to deter your determination to evolve. With Medusa's confidence, she probably wouldn't even consider a Dou Shi a threat, would she?"

Seeing Medusa's stunningly beautiful face change so drastically, revealing such alluring charm, Xiao Yuan was also somewhat unable to resist, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a natural smile.

"Although I hate to admit it, what you said is indeed true. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't mind sparing your life, but if I have truly succeeded in evolving today, then even with the help of the Heavenly Flames, it wouldn't be difficult for me to kill you. Are you sure you still want to stay here?"

Medusa's smile deepened upon hearing this. Although she had always disliked humans, she found herself quite fond of this young man.

"Hehe, we'll see when the time comes!"

Xiao Yuan smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Medusa looked at Xiao Yuan with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

How could he be so calm? Could it be that he has other means of protection?

"Hmph, since you're not afraid of death, then you can stay here!"

After a moment of contemplation, Medusa snorted coldly, then swung her snake tail and came to the side of the Green Lotus Core Flame. Ignoring Xiao Yuan, she solemnly stretched out her slender hand and slowly formed several hand seals in front of her.

As Medusa's hand seals changed, the Crystal Lotus Seat suddenly trembled violently, and the light screen on it gradually disappeared. After the light screen disappeared, the unrestrained blue flames burst out and swelled in the wind. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a raging fire.

Under the blazing blue flames, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the small pool was evaporating at a visible rate, forcing Xiao Yuan to retreat and create distance.

Facing a mature, Heavenly Flames at close range was indeed quite difficult for him, who was only at the Dou Shi stage.

Ignoring the bamboo around her that was rapidly withering from the smoke, Medusa glanced at Xiao Yuan out of the corner of her eye, then took a deep breath, stretched out her jade hand, and slowly unbuttoned her brocade robe. A moment later, a perfect jade body, as if it were Nuwa's graduation design, was nakedly exposed in front of Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan, who witnessed this scene, was also thoroughly entertained.

Her beautiful face, with an unintentional hint of allure, and her long, fair neck revealing a section of her elegantly curved chest, made Xiao Yuan feel a sense of awe.

Her slender waist seemed too delicate to be grasped in one hand, yet her slight thinness revealed a sense of suppleness. Her flat and tender abdomen had not an ounce of excess fat, making one want to reach out and touch it at first glance.

Below that slender waist was a wild purple snake tail, which swayed slightly, creating a unique kind of beauty.

In the bamboo forest, Xiao Yuan stared dumbfounded at the alluring body that would drive any man crazy, and a flame of desire involuntarily appeared in his eyes. A sudden surge of lust rose in his lower abdomen.

"Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

Although Medusa's attention was mostly focused on the Heavenly Flames, she still felt Xiao Yuan's burning gaze and said coldly without turning her head.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please don't be distracted!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan quickly covered his eyes with both hands, leaving a small gap between his index and middle fingers as he looked at Medusa and said with a simple smile.

At the same time, he activated the Profound Mystic Ice Skill, suppressing the evil fire in his lower abdomen and the desire in his heart.

Medusa, upon hearing this, no longer bothered with the shameless little fellow. Gazing at the rising blue flames before her, a solemn look flashed in her eyes.

The next moment, she reached out and casually pulled off the purple ribbon that held her black hair, letting her long, smooth black hair fall down. She gently shook her head, and the hair moved with it. But even this simple action revealed Medusa's charming allure to the fullest.

Xiao Yuan's anger, which had just been suppressed, rose again.

"What a vixen!"

Xiao Yuan originally intended to keep his gaze fixed on Medusa's face, but his eyes just wouldn't listen and kept looking down. With a helpless sigh, he simply attached his Ice Attribute Douqi to his hands and rubbed his face vigorously.

On the other side, Medusa eyes slightly, her hands clasped together, her jade hands constantly changing into strange hand seals. As her hand seals changed, the energy fluctuations between heaven and earth in the bamboo forest suddenly became more intense.

"It's about to begin!"

Sensing the increasingly intense energy fluctuations within the bamboo forest, Xiao Yuan raised his head and looked at Medusa again.

Above the island, a massive energy vortex slowly took shape, and Medusa was gradually enveloped in a dense glow.

The light expanded and contracted continuously. After a moment, a sound that was somewhat like a lion's roar and somewhat like a tiger's howl resounded from the light. Shortly after the roar, the dazzling light suddenly intensified.

Under this blinding light, black and white flames appeared in Xiao Yuan's eyes as he watched Medusa transform into a Purple Giant Serpent over ten zhang long, hovering in the air.

The Purple Giant Serpent had a long and powerful body, exuding an elegant beauty, while its pale purple pupils held a strange tranquility and serenity.

The Purple Giant Serpent slowly twisted its body in mid-air, its massive head slightly turned towards the outside of the Temple. Amidst the already fierce and chaotic battle, a chilling aura appeared in its indifferent serpentine eyes.

Outside the Temple, Yun Yun, who was fighting with Hua She Er, the Medusa Royal Guard Captain, seemed to have sensed something. After casually repelling Hua She Er, she turned her head to look at the purple light filling the sky in another corner of the city. Her eyes, hidden under her black robe, narrowed slightly, and she murmured softly, "Is the evolution about to begin?"

"Damn humans, once Her Your Majesty has successfully evolved, none of you will escape!" Wiping a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, Hua She Er growled coldly.

"If the evolution fails, she will disappear from this world on her own without our intervention."

Yun Yun said calmly.

"Her Your Majesty will surely succeed!"

Upon hearing this, Hua She Er's expression changed. She roared fiercely, her anger barely concealed, and stomped her feet on the city wall, unleashing a surge of Dou Qi as she charged towards Yun Yun.

"Actually... I'm also very interested to see what happens after Medusa successfully evolves."

Looking at the angry Hua She Er charging towards her, Yun Yun smiled calmly and waved her hands, sending more than a dozen huge Green Wind Blade, each over ten feet thick, slicing lightly towards the snake.

As the giant snake head hovering in mid-air slowly turned towards him, Xiao Yuan lowered his hands from his eyes, tilted his head slightly, winked at Medusa had transformed into a snake, and then raised his hands above his head to make a heart shape.

Although she had never seen such a posture before, Medusa still understood its meaning, and a rare look of surprise appeared in her usually calm, huge snake eyes.

I've seen plenty of people who lust after their own bodies, but this is the first time I've seen someone so weak yet dare to make such a gesture as a declaration of love.

What an interesting little guy.

However, this was not the time to be distracted. She gracefully tossed her head, and a rich purple light surged from her body, eventually enveloping almost the entire Temple.

This is setting up Energy Barrier, obviously to prevent being disturbed by Gu He and the others. However, Xiao Yuan, who is already in the core area, is definitely not someone she can drive away.

Before Xiao Yuan could react, the Purple Giant Serpent that Medusa had transformed into let out a clear, low growl, and then charged headlong into the ball of blue flames.

Watching the scene of moths flying into a flame before him, Xiao Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. When he devoured the Heavenly Flames, he received nanny-level treatment, and the risks he faced were far less than those faced by Medusa at this moment.

The instant Medusa entered the Heavenly Flames, a shrill scream rang out.

Hearing the pitiful scream, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but shudder, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Within the azure flames, the enormous purple snake writhed madly in agony. Its scales, which had just entered the Heavenly Flames, began to twist and contort, eventually being charred black by the Heavenly Flames and falling helplessly from its body.

Before the wounds where the snake scales had fallen could even bleed, the terrifying high temperature of the Heavenly Flames stopped the bleeding, turning them into hideous wounds.

Hearing the continuous screams, Xiao Yuan felt quite sorry for her, but the current situation was something Medusa had to go through, and Xiao Yuan couldn't help her, so he could only silently pray for her in his heart.

Because Medusa's commotion was so great, her shrill screams almost echoed throughout half the city. Immediately, countless Snake-Man Strong rushed onto the rooftops, staring in horror at the source of the intense purple light. Some tried to rush over, but were blocked by the fierce purple light and could only stand outside, anxiously watching the giant purple snake thrashing violently in the blue flames from a great distance.

As time went by, the small pool that was once filled with the Ice Spirit Cold Spring had long since turned into a dark, empty hole. At a rough glance, the hole was probably at least ten meters deep. The terrifying high temperature of the Heavenly Flames scorched and distorted the surrounding space.

Xiao Yuan had no choice but to step back a distance to barely withstand the oncoming heat wave.

"Teacher, the evolution has begun, what about my brother?"

Outside the Temple, Xiao Yan asked with a furrowed brow.

"Don't worry, I can still sense his presence. In fact, he's in better condition than Medusa."

Hearing Yao Lao's response, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Third Brother, you're alright? Are you that strong?

Half an hour later, within the blue flames, Medusa's shrill screams gradually weakened, and her enormous body almost stopped rolling. Her body, which was originally covered with purple scales, was now charred black, and her body, which was more than ten feet long, was burned down to only two or three feet.

It looked as if the evolution had failed, but Xiao Yuan, who was close by, could clearly sense that a life force was gradually taking shape within it.

Soon, the energy of heaven and earth suddenly surged. Seeing this, the sky in the desert, which was usually clear all year round, suddenly became much darker, and clusters of dark clouds, which appeared from nowhere, slowly covered the sky.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder echoed from within the dark clouds, and silver lightning bolts darted about like long, silver serpents.

A moment later, the world brightened, and a huge silver lightning bolt shot down from the clouds, finally piercing through the purple light curtain and crashing into the ball of blue flames.

The thunder came quickly and went even faster; the clouds in the sky were rapidly dissipating, and the scorching sun once again enveloped the city.

Only then did the thunderous roar finally begin.

Boom! Accompanied by the roar of thunder, countless people hurriedly turned their gazes to the purple light screen. However, after the lightning struck, a faint blue mist seeped out from the island, obscuring everyone's view.

"How about it?"

Yun Yun frowned slightly as she looked at Gu He beside her. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of panic.

"The cyan mist is what was released from the collision between the lightning and the Heavenly Flames earlier. Soul power cannot penetrate it, and the situation inside has been completely isolated."

Gu He scanned the light screen with his soul perception, shook his head, and frowned.

"I can only vaguely sense Xiao Yuan's presence now!"

At this moment, Yao Lao also told Xiao Yan similar words.

At this moment, in the blue mist, Xiao Yuan was lying on the ground, his body charred black.

He wasn't particularly close to Medusa, but after the lightning strike, the area exploded. The Green Lotus Core Flame and the heavenly lightning exploded together, almost like a chain reaction, spreading at an extremely fast speed and instantly engulfing the location where Xiao Yuan was.

Then, Xiao Yuan, who was unable to dodge in time, was directly struck and seriously injured.

If it weren't for the protection of the Heavenly Flames, he would probably be dead already.

"Hiss"

Xiao Yuan gasped for breath, circulating his wood and water elemental Dou Qi to repair his body. He then took out healing pills from his Storage Ring and stuffed them into his mouth.

Feeling his injuries gradually improving, Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could recover, an invisible force pulled him into the depths of the blue mist.

At the same time, Yao Lao's voice trembled outside the purple light screen. "Something's wrong, Xiao Yuan is in trouble, his aura is weakening!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately turned blood red.
