Third Brother? Third Sister!
"Your Majesty!?"
At the heart of the island, atop the charred body of a snake, a graceful figure floats suspended in mid-air.
She was draped in a red brocade robe, her long black hair cascading down her fragrant shoulders and stopping only at her pert, shapely buttocks. The close-fitting robe accentuated her alluring figure, making her look like a perfectly ripe peach, constantly exuding a charming allure.
As the gaze moves downwards, long, slender, fair legs are faintly visible through the gaps in the skirt, revealing snow-white, translucent feet that appear pristine and untouched by dust.
However, at this moment, her slender hand slightly clenched, holding Xiao Yuan in mid-air, unable to move.
Looking at the alluring and captivating Medusa, whose mere glance was enough to stir one's heart, Xiao Yuan felt no fear, but rather a strange sense of unease.
At this moment, Medusa's pupils looked rather strange, as if she lacked reason and had an empty feeling.
Seven-colored light shone continuously on her body, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and the frequency of the flashing became faster and faster.
Under the dazzling light, Xiao Yuan's figure gradually approached. The next moment, Medusa's red lips parted slightly, and rich energy poured out from her mouth and into Xiao Yuan's mouth.
As energy was poured in, the two mouths drew closer and closer until they finally came into direct contact.
The next moment, a vast and terrifying energy erupted, rapidly engulfing the city at an alarming speed.
"Her Your Majesty succeeded?"
Sensing a faint sense of familiarity within this aura, countless Snake-People throughout the city exchanged bewildered glances, then burst into wild joy, their earth-shattering cheers echoing through the sky.
The moment this vast aura erupted, Gu He, outside the purple light barrier, suddenly changed his expression. At the same time, his body retreated nearly dozens of meters almost uncontrollably.
As he retreated hastily, Gu He shouted at Yun Yun, "Quick, run Medusa has successfully evolved!"
"Don't panic!"
Faced with the sudden surge of terrifying aura, Yun Yun remained calm. While others could hardly sense the abnormality in the aura, she clearly perceived that although the aura was terrifyingly powerful, it also carried a faint risk of spiraling out of control.
"Um?"
But soon, this feeling of being out of control actually began to gradually disappear.
About ten seconds later, she was somewhat surprised to sense that another aura was gradually growing stronger. Although it was not as vast as the first aura, it was still extremely powerful.
As the vast aura dissipated, the revelry in the city came to an abrupt end, leaving all the Snake-People stunned, filled with trepidation and anticipation.
"Boom!"
The seven-colored light gradually weakened, turning into a thin beam of light that slipped into Xiao Yuan's sleeve.
Xiao Yuan's body trembled slightly, his Dou Qi surging around him, showing signs of almost losing control. There was a faint lingering fragrance mixed with a faint taste of blood on his lips.
A trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. Feeling the immense power within his body that he had never experienced before, Xiao Yuan felt both excited and fearful.
This powerful force was extremely captivating, but at the same time, Xiao Yuan felt his five Qi Mansion clapping, with rich energy filling every meridian, blood, muscle, and bone in his body.
Simply put
He was about to be blown apart by this terrifying energy.
Looking at the somewhat listless Green Lotus Core Flame before him, Xiao Yuan felt a little helpless.
Medusa somehow managed to absorb almost all the energy from the Green Lotus Core Flame. Although this powerful energy was enough for her to advance, the excess energy was too much for her to control. So she used Xiao Yuan, this unlucky guy, as an outlet and poured the excess energy into his body.
He stretched out his arm, rolled up his sleeve, and looked at the Seven-Colored Little Snake wrapped around his wrist with its eyes closed, which exuded a strange, fresh fragrance and an air of elegance and nobility. His expression was complicated.
After exhaling, Xiao Yuan felt the energy within his body becoming increasingly uncontrollable. He also gathered his thoughts, reached out and clenched his fist. The black and white Yin Yang Dual Flames surged out and transformed into a glove, which he wrapped around his palm. Then he grasped the blue flame floating in mid-air in his hand.
The Green Lotus Core Flame instinctively wanted to attack Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, and the Yin Yang Dual Flames suddenly erupted with terrifying energy, forcibly suppressing the Green Lotus Core Flame into his palm. Then, Xiao Yuan clenched his fist and rushed out of the Temple.
Outside the Temple, Xiao Yan, with a grim face, slammed Mo Bas in front of him to the ground. Looking at the purple light shield that was about to dissipate, he became increasingly worried about Xiao Yuan.
The purple light shield, appearing and disappearing intermittently, finally burst into countless tiny specks of light with a loud bang.
As the purple light shield shattered, a pair of purplish-black wings with black and white patterns interwoven on them rushed toward Xiao Yan at an extremely fast speed.
"What happened?" Gu He, who had retreated a distance earlier, returned to Yun Yun's side somewhat nervously after the terrifying aura dissipated. He asked cautiously, "Didn't she successfully evolve? Why did her aura disappear again?"
"There must have been a problem with the evolution. That aura has completely disappeared, but it seems that another aura has appeared."
Yun Yun, hidden beneath the black robe, shook her head slightly and said softly.
She felt that the aura seemed somewhat familiar.
"Another aura?" Upon hearing this, Gu He was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief with a mixture of regret and smug satisfaction. His gaze was fixed on the Temple where the blue smoke was gradually dissipating. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he said, "The aura of the Heavenly Flames... how come it has also disappeared?"
"The energy fluctuations inside have calmed down. As for that Heavenly Flames, could it have been destroyed by Medusa?" Yun Yun asked hesitantly.
"It's probably impossible. Although Medusa is powerful, she's still a step short of destroying the Heavenly Flames." Gu He shook his head. As an alchemist, he naturally knew the power of the Heavenly Flames best.
"Let's search more carefully after the smoke clears," Gu He said with a slight frown.
"Old He, how is it?" Two streaks of light flew into the city from outside the city walls, finally stopping beside Gu He and the other person. Their gazes swept across the Temple below, and Yan Shi said in a deep voice, "That aura just now?"
"It's the aura of Medusa, but it seems there was a problem with its evolution. Perhaps... it has already dissipated." Gu He pondered.
"Phew..." Upon hearing this, Yan Shi and Feng Li both breathed a long sigh of relief. The terrifying aura they had just experienced had completely extinguished their will to fight. A powerhouse of that level was beyond their reach and ability to contend with.
"What do we do now?"
Feng Li's gaze swept across the city. Countless hateful stares made him frown slightly. He looked up at the sky in the distance, where Yue Mei was coldly watching them. Mo Bas on the ground was somewhat weak, and his eyes were filled with deep fear when he looked at Xiao Yan. Occasionally, his gaze would drift towards the Temple, revealing a hint of anxiety.
Even though Yue Mei and Mo Bas were filled with killing intent, they did not rush over. Under their command, countless Snake-Man Strong, wielding snake spears, darted onto the rooftops, staring coldly at the people in mid-air.
In this Temple city, which is considered a holy city by the Snake-People Tribe, there are quite a few Snake-Man Strong. In terms of Dou Wang level experts, there are no fewer than Gu He and his group. However, the only thing they lack is a Dou Huang expert who can contend with the two Mysterious Person. If they were not afraid that the two Dou Huang expert would cause a lot of casualties if they went berserk, they probably would have already rushed up and forcibly killed Gu He and his group.
Therefore, Yue Mei and the others did not launch a forceful attack, but instead directed the strong to subtly surround Gu He and the others, seemingly intending to keep them within the city.
"Watch out, a Dou Emperor aura is heading your way! Wait, is that... Xiao Yuan?"
The Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind, causing Xiao Yan to be slightly taken aback.
"Hmm, Dou Emperor? Is Third Brother alright?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan murmured in confusion, then a look of joy appeared on his face. In any case, it was good that his Third Brother was alright.
"Xiao Yan, we've got the Heavenly Flames. Take out the Qing Lian Platform and retreat with the Heavenly Flames. I'll cover your retreat."
As Xiao Yuan's urgent voice rang out, a blue figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yan, his palm open, revealing the Green Lotus Core Flame that was trapped by the Yin Yang Dual Flames.
"This is the Green Lotus Core Flame!"
Xiao Yan's heart trembled violently upon seeing this, but then he noticed that Xiao Yuan's complexion seemed to be not good. His aura was surging, and there was faint seven-colored energy flowing under his skin, which looked as if it was about to burst.
"Third Brother, how are you?"
Xiao Yan asked with a worried expression.
"Stop talking nonsense. I need to vent my anger. You should take the Heavenly Flames and leave. Go find Hai Lao first and help him refine pills. Then come to Shi Mo City and meet up with me."
As Xiao Yuan spoke, the cage formed by the Yin Yang Dual Flames in his hand slowly opened, revealing the slightly withered Green Lotus Core Flame within.
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yuan is right. He needs to release the energy in his body now. With his current strength, he is strong enough to deal with these people. The only thing to be careful of is that mysterious Dou Huang expert. However, since he knows this Dou Huang expert, there will naturally be no problem."
The Yao Lao's voice followed immediately.
"Okay, then be careful, bro."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt relieved and took out the Qing Lian Platform from his Storage Ring.
Amidst the shimmering blue light, the perfectly crafted Green Lotus Seat, resembling a work of art, rotated slightly, releasing a faint energy.
Holding the Green Lotus Seat in his palm, Xiao Yan extended it towards the Green Lotus Core Flame in Xiao Yuan's hand. After the Green Lotus Seat reached the bottom of the Heavenly Flames, a faint azure light shield spread out from it, eventually enveloping the Green Lotus Core Flame.
As the cyan light barrier slowly shrank, the Heavenly Flames fell back into the lotus heart without any resistance. Instantly, the empty lotus heart was filled with an eerie cyan flame.
"Go quickly!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan had successfully subdued the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yuan smiled. Then, black Ice Attribute Douqi swirled out and condensed into a jet-black dragon spear in his hand.
Whoosh! A male Snake-People shrouded in red Dou Qi flashed into the sky above the city, his gaze sweeping across the air before finally settling on Gu He and the others with a sinister expression.
"Damn humans, how dare you enter my race's holy city!"
The newcomer seemed to have an extremely fiery temper. Upon seeing Gu He and the others, his angry roar immediately resounded throughout the city. At the same time, the red Dou Qi on his body surged violently by nearly a meter, making him look like a man of fire from afar.
However, as the blue smoke gradually dissipated, a figure holding Green Lotus Seat was frantically rushing towards the outside of the city, and on that Green Lotus Seat, eerie blue flames were constantly burning.
"Heavenly Flames!"
Gu He, who was not far away, did not notice Yan Ci, the powerful Snake-People Tribe who had arrived. Instead, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the figure that was staring at the increasingly smaller figure. Suddenly, he let out an angry roar. He and his companions had risked their lives to restrain the Snake-Man Strong, but they had ended up doing all the work for that person. He was furious and roared, "Damn it! How dare you use us as pawns!"
"Chase!" With a fierce wave of his hand, Gu He's Dou Qi surged wildly, and the Dou Qi Wings on his back flapped violently. He was about to chase after the figure. Behind him, Yun Yun in black robes and Yan Shi followed closely.
However, at that moment, Yue Mei and Yan Ci of the Snake-People Tribe appeared before them like lightning, with the Snake-People Tribe army behind them.
"Come and go as you please, what do you think my Snake-People Tribe are?"
Yan Ci- red Dou Qi emanated from Yan Ci's body, rising like flames as he glared at Gu He and the others, his voice echoing through the city like thunder.
"Get out of my way!"
Seeing that their route was blocked, Gu He looked up at the figure that had almost become a small black dot and couldn't help but shout angrily. With a wave of his hand, pale blue flames rapidly condensed into a fireball in front of him, and then, carrying scorching energy, shot fiercely towards Yan Ci and the others.
"Hmph, when it comes to alchemy, no one here can match you, Gu He. But when it comes to combat power, you'd better get out of my way!"
Seeing Yan Ci, Yan Ci's face was filled with a disdainful sneer. He stretched out his palm, clenched it slightly, and the fiery red Dou Qi on his body suddenly condensed into a flaming palm that was more than ten feet in size. It shot out and easily enveloped the blue fireball. Then he squeezed it hard, and with a slight muffled sound, the blue fireball instantly turned into countless tiny flames that gradually dissipated.
Yue Mei looked coldly at Gu He and the others in front of her, but felt somewhat helpless. She knew they couldn't catch up with that figure in the distance. After all, they were already doing their best to hold off the people in front of them, so it was really impossible to spare any manpower to chase after that figure.
"I'll hold them off. You all go after that person! If we're too late, the Heavenly Flames will really fall into someone else's hands!"
Yun Yun moved slightly, and with a sweep of her longsword, she directly suppressed Yue Mei and Yan Ci, and shouted in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Gu He hesitated slightly before nodding emphatically. He had no doubt about Yun Yun's strength. With three Dou Wang on the other side, it was impossible for them to cause her much harm. So he didn't waste any words and waved his hand, preparing to lead Yan Shi and Feng Li to give chase. However, he suddenly felt his palms were a little cold.
He lowered his hand and glanced around, only to find a black snowflake quietly melting in his palm.
It's snowing? Gu He was slightly taken aback, and then he was shocked to find that, despite the clear blue sky, black snowflakes were gradually falling around him.
Realizing something was wrong, he quickly released his soul power, and the next moment, he suddenly looked up at the sky.
In the sky, a figure in a flowing white dress stood proudly, her black wings, gleaming with ice crystals, fluttering gently. Holding a black dragon spear, a powerful aura slowly erupted from her body.
"Who goes there!"
The sudden reappearance of this mysterious and powerful figure drew everyone's attention. Gu He felt the man's aura lock onto him, and his expression darkened as he spoke in a cold voice.
"I've long heard that the three of you are among the top ten strongest warriors of the Jia Ma Empire. Why don't you have a spar with me?"
A clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out, causing Gu He and the others' expressions to turn ugly.
In the distance, Xiao Yan, who was fleeing with the Heavenly Flames, heard a familiar yet completely unfamiliar female voice and also had a strange expression on his face.
Third Brother actually has this kind of skill? "This kid is really interesting!"
The Yao Lao's laughter also echoed in his heart.
"Now Third Brother has become Third Sister. I wonder what Father's expression will be if he finds out about Third Brother's childbirth."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled, his worry for Xiao Yuan lessening somewhat.
