Self-Created Dou Technique: Green Lotus Sword Dance

"Why?" Queen Medusa could not help asking.

"One drop of blood made you ache so badly your heart felt torn apart. Have you forgotten?"

A smile tugged at Jiang Cheng's lips. "If you do not mind, you can try taking another bite."

With that, Jiang Cheng fearlessly offered his neck again. Even if Medusa truly had such thoughts, she probably would not be able to bite through his skin.

His body was as hard as Mysterious Iron. Let alone biting him, even if Queen Medusa erupted with her full strength in a single strike, she would not be able to harm him in the slightest.

This was the gap between a Dou Saint and a Half-Step Dou Ancestor.

Medusa pursed her lips but still restrained her desire. As the saying went, snakes were naturally lustful. As an expert of the Snake People Tribe, she naturally carried the bloodline of snake people.

But as the Queen, she could not simply accept kissing a man's neck like this...

Especially this lecher!

Jiang Cheng was so handsome that he surpassed all other men, especially those Peach Blossom Eyes of his. Even young girls who saw them would feel the urge to throw themselves into his arms.

Even Queen Medusa had never seen such a handsome young man before.

Jiang Cheng shrugged and looked ahead. "The Green Lotus Platform was formed only after Earth Fire condensed for a thousand years. Cultivating while seated upon it may not increase one's speed tenfold, but an increase of three or four times is more than possible."

"Take it back. If you sit on it every day in the future, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds."

Queen Medusa naturally knew this. She had simply left in too much of a hurry back then. Otherwise, she would never have left such a good thing behind.

Not only that, the lotus seeds within the platform—the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds known as the essence of fire spirits—produced only one every hundred years. Even Dou Emperor experts would risk their lives to trade for them.

With a wave of Jiang Cheng's right hand, the Green Lotus Platform and Earth Fire Lotus Seeds flew uncontrollably before him, trembling faintly at the same time.

"Here, I'll give you these two Core Lotus Seeds." Jiang Cheng placed two Core Lotus Seeds in Medusa's hand and kept all the rest for himself.

They might come in handy when refining pills in the future.

Medusa looked at the two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds in her hand, an indescribable bitterness rising in her heart. She had not expected Jiang Cheng to be so generous as to give her two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds. This had clearly exceeded her expectations of him.

After obtaining what he wanted, Jiang Cheng picked Queen Medusa up again and left the horrifying Sea of Magma.

Without absolute strength or exceptionally powerful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, reaching this place was nothing but a fool's dream.

Even Queen Medusa, at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, had suffered immensely to obtain the Heavenly Flames back then. One could only imagine how difficult it was to acquire Heavenly Flames.

After returning to the surface, Jiang Cheng set Queen Medusa down and teased, "You should eat more. You're too light."

Queen Medusa's pretty face flushed red. Crossing her arms over her chest, she said, "This King was not made for you to hold. You still want to order This King around? Why don't you have This King bear you a child while you're at it?"

"If the Queen is willing, I would naturally be delighted."

Jiang Cheng let out a hearty laugh, but his expression soon froze. He turned to look at several figures in the desert, and a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes.

"I did not expect them to be watching us." Jiang Cheng shrugged. "Forget it. They have not attacked us, so we have no reason to attack them either. Let's go. It is about time to head back."

Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes. "You are still the same as before, refined and detached like a scholar. If it were This King, those vermin would already be dead."

"Heh heh, there is a beauty I cannot forget once seen; one day apart, and longing drives me mad." Jiang Cheng lightly tapped the Folding Fan in his hand. "No honor in this world surpasses a scholar's unrestrained grace. Let us go."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, at that moment, three sharp arrows shot toward them and buried halfway into the ground. Their power was so great that anyone below the Dou Master realm would have their body pierced through.

Jiang Cheng calmly flicked his Folding Fan. The incoming arrows abruptly turned back without warning and directly pierced through the men who had just attacked.

Queen Medusa smiled, her brows arching. "What is it? Now that they have attacked, will you make a move?"

"Heh heh, I never attack without cause. But since they struck first, then kill them."

Jiang Cheng had always followed the principle that if others did not make a move, neither would he. He treated others with courtesy and had made many close friends over the years through his carefree nature, yet there were still people who enjoyed testing his limits.

At some unknown point, a Bamboo Flute appeared in Jiang Cheng's hand. He slowly raised it to his lips and blew softly. Immediately, a strange melody resembling a Phoenix Cry burst from the flute.

The piercing Flute Sound lingered around Stone Desert City for a long time without fading.

Queen Medusa had wanted to ask something, only to discover that the mercenaries rushing toward them had instantly turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.

They had been burned directly into ashes.

Enjoying a one-stop service.

They could finally rest in peace.

The melodious Flute Sound gradually ceased. The enemy had been completely wiped out. Judging by their attire, they should have been members of the Sand Mercenary Group. Only after eliminating even their leader did Jiang Cheng elegantly put away his Bamboo Flute.

"Heh heh, music has never merely been a tool for pleasing others. Every weapon has its own traits. Take a sword, for example. In your hands, it may be a weapon for killing, but in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, it becomes a companion."

Jiang Cheng stood with one hand behind his back, displaying the bearing of a refined gentleman.

If others did not offend him, he would not offend them. That was Jiang Cheng's way.

"The Dou Technique you cultivate is a secret art never passed down outside the Snake People Tribe. But you have killed too much over the years. Continuing like this will harm your body, so you should not practice it excessively."

With that, Jiang Cheng took out a Dou Technique and handed it to Queen Medusa. "This is an Earth-tier Intermediate Fighting Skill, Named Green Lotus Sword Dance. Wherever it is performed, it is as breathtakingly beautiful as blooming green lotuses."

"It emphasizes graceful softness and less killing. It will benefit you."

Queen Medusa accepted the Dou Technique and murmured, "Green Lotus Sword Dance... Why have I never heard of such a Dou Technique?"

"That is only natural."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward. "This is a Cultivation Method I personally developed. It uses softness as its foundation and the sword as its support. Once mastered, it can split mountains and sever seas with a single strike. Yet combined with your movements, its power will be doubled for half the effort."

Hearing this, Medusa was once again astonished by Jiang Cheng's talent. This was actually a Dou Technique he had created himself. One had to know that Earth-tier Cultivation Methods were not something ordinary people could cultivate.

Moreover, there were probably only a few people in the entire world capable of creating an Earth-tier Intermediate Fighting Skill.

"Practice diligently in the future. Become an unparalleled legend and lead the Snake People Tribe toward its true tomorrow."

Jiang Cheng walked step by step into the distance, leaving Medusa standing there alone in a daze. Only when Jiang Cheng's voice rang out did she snap out of her infatuation.
