Medusa Encounters a Crisis

He completely ignored Zi Yan, as the little girl was already very familiar with the Heart Flame Body Tempering; her presence was simply to absorb its energy.

Seeing Xiao Tian's encouraging gaze, Han Yue felt a surge of strength within her, as if the difficulties before her no longer existed.

Is this the boundless power of love?

After Su Qian saw that everyone had made their choices, he waved his hand, and ten Energy Shield landed on their heads.

After the Energy Shield disappeared, the Original Heart Flame transformed into a stream of light and entered through the top of their heads.

As the flames entered their bodies, the ten people's faces turned as red as burning coals, and even wisps of white smoke began to rise from them.

After glancing at the ten people and confirming that there were no major problems, Su Qian instructed the two Elder beside him, "Keep a close eye on them. If any problems arise, provide immediate assistance. These are all promising talents."

The two Elder bowed and accepted the order. One of them looked at the ten figures and said, "I wonder how many will succeed this time. Last time, only four succeeded. I hope there will be more this time."

"This can only depend on their perseverance and their own opportunities." Su Qian sighed as she looked at the group.

Based on past failures, I would have to stay in bed for at least two or three months, so I didn't specifically tell them that, lest I scare them.

Xiao Tian ignored their conversation and walked directly to the cave entrance, peering inside.

Both Elder had met Xiao Tian before, so they didn't object. Su Qian walked to Xiao Tian's side and said, "Let's go, shall we go to the last floor and take a look?"

Xiao Tian nodded and followed Su Qian to the last floor.

"A few days ago it broke through many seals, and it took us a lot of manpower to repair it. These past few days it has become strangely quiet. If I couldn't still feel its presence, I would have thought it had escaped."

Su Qian said with a solemn expression, opened a gap in the energy shield for one person to enter, and went in. Xiao Tian followed him in.

Is it the calm before the storm?

Xiao Tian surveyed the dark red Magma World before him and said.

"That's right, I suspect it's been quietly accumulating energy. Before, it would just act recklessly without thinking, but it seems to have gained a lot of intelligence recently."

Xiao Tian thought of Fallen Heart Flame, after accumulating power for a period of time, suddenly erupted with several times its original strength, perhaps because it had found some kind of energy source.

The two searched the area but found nothing unusual, so they went outside.

Xiao Tian nodded to the Grand Elder, and then a bright red object flashed in his hand, attaching itself to a small corner of the energy shield.

After returning to the floor where they were training their bodies, Xiao Tian glanced at Han Yue, who was in pretty good condition, and then casually found a spot to cultivate.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and suddenly, the long-lost system voice rang in Xiao Tian's mind:

[Ding! Host, Beauty Scarlet Fei Yan, is currently facing a life-or-death crisis!]

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Tian immediately stood up, prompting the two Elder and the Grand Elder to look at Xiao Tian strangely.

Xiao Tian ignored them and directly asked the system, "System, I need the coordinates."

The system directly transmitted the location to Xiao Tian's mind.

Xiao Tian entered the Free and Unfettered World directly, then took out Disposable Teleportation Portal, entered the coordinates, and simultaneously crushed a Dou Huang Experience Card before unsealing the Thunder God Body.

Rewind to ten minutes earlier, after Medusa had just wiped out a force that opposed the Free and Unfettered Hall and looted their treasury.

On the way back, a sudden sense of crisis gripped him. Standing in the void, he looked out at the emptiness before him and cried out, "Who's there? Show yourself!"

An elderly man with long, blood-red hair emerged from the void before her. "Are you from the Free and Unfettered Hall?"

Medusa sensed the strength of the newcomer, who was at the Seven Star Dou Zong, and her expression immediately turned serious. She herself was only at the Two Star Dou Ancestor.

"Little girl, you are no match for me. I'm just here to test you out after receiving a bribe."

The old man gave Medusa a cold look and spoke in a chilling voice, his words carrying a terrifying Chilling Intent.

"Hmph, whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we fight."

Queen Medusa held a golden-red rapier, her eyes filled with determination and solemnity, pointing the rapier at her opponent.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, followed by a cold laugh, "It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting person."

The Earth Demon Old Ghost nodded slightly, his withered face revealing no emotion, and his eerie, will-o'-the-wisps gazed at Medusa.

"It seems you're not going to cooperate. In that case, I'll have to break your limbs before taking you away."

"Looks like you're just someone else's dog."

Medusa smiled mockingly as she looked at the blood-haired old man before her.

"Sharp-tongued!" Upon hearing this, the old man became furious. If it weren't for Han Feng's conditions and the covert threat from that force, why would he have inexplicably come out of seclusion?

"I'd like to see if your strength matches your stubbornness."

He spread his five fingers wide, and five streams of Cold Qi energy shot towards Medusa.

Upon seeing this, Medusa's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness, but she did not repay the loan. Instead, she swiftly swung the golden-red rapier in her hand.

"Snake Slash!"

The golden-red Sword Qi met the five icy energies. The two attacks collided, producing a loud bang before dissipating.

Medusa's body trembled slightly, and after letting out a low groan, she took three steps back.

"Is this all you've got? Nothing special."

Medusa wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at him fearlessly, and then attacked him.

"Seven-Colored Venom!"

With a wave of his hand, a stream of seven-colored venom shot towards him, coated with terrifying poison and corrosive properties.

"That was just a casual strike. Now I'll show you my true strength."

"Thousand Illusory Dark Ice Thorns!"

Seeing Medusa launch an attack, the blood-haired elder let out a cold laugh, and black Dou Qi appeared on his ten fingers. Then, his ten fingers suddenly flicked repeatedly.

As he moved, black ice spikes continuously appeared, attacking Medusa's venom.

The venom was repeatedly struck by the ice spikes, then dispersed and disappeared.

The remaining Black Ice Cones continued to attack Medusa.

Medusa swung her rapier continuously, each strike precisely deflecting the black ice spikes.

However, due to the vast difference in strength, Medusa was forced back a step each time she shattered an ice spike, and her body was covered in wounds, which were also covered in wisps of black Cold Qi.

"Fire Serpent Burns the Sky!"

After deflecting all the ice spikes, Medusa formed a hand seal, and a giant fire serpent appeared before her, lunging at the old man.

The old man's palm was covered in black, Cold Qi, and he unleashed a palm print towards the fire serpent, which was instantly shattered by the palm strike.

The old man moved like a ghost as he attacked Medusa, his palms constantly enveloped in a chilling black Cold Qi.

Medusa swung her sword to block the old man's palm, and the two began to fight, their moves seemingly simple but actually containing enormous energy.

Ultimately, under the overwhelming odds of the battle, Medusa, seeing the palm strike coming her way, transformed back into her true form as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

It was then blasted into the deep forest.

The old man looked at the giant, seven-colored serpent before him, his voice tinged with surprise. "I didn't expect it to be a Monster Transformation. Why don't you become my mount!"
