One Move to Defeat Queen Medusa!

Queen Medusa descended onto the sand, her snake-like eyes sweeping over everyone present.

Wherever her gaze fell, the mercenaries of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group lowered their heads, their faces deathly pale and their legs trembling.

The pressure of a peak Dou Emperor was not something ordinary mercenaries like them could withstand.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's expressions changed as well.

Though they were the leaders of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, their strength was only at the Da Dou Shi level.

Before Queen Medusa, they were no different from ants.

That oppressive force left them struggling to breathe, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads.

"Big Brother, why is Queen Medusa here?" Xiao Li's voice trembled.

Xiao Ding gritted his teeth without saying a word.

He looked toward Xiao Chen, only to find that Xiao Chen's expression had not changed at all.

He was as calm as if nothing had happened.

Queen Medusa looked at them and spoke coldly.

"What are you looking for here?"

Her voice was not loud, yet it carried an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance, but neither spoke.

Queen Medusa's gaze settled on Xiao Chen.

She could sense that this human's aura was stronger than everyone else's.

"Speak," Queen Medusa said coldly.

Xiao Chen looked at her and replied flatly.

"None of your damn business."

The moment those words fell, the entire area went silent.

Xiao Ding froze.

Xiao Li froze as well.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes widened, her face filled with shock.

The mercenaries of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group were frightened out of their wits.

This was Queen Medusa, the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, a peak Dou Emperor.

Xiao Chen actually dared to speak to her like that?

Queen Medusa was stunned for a moment too.

After living for so many years, she had never encountered a human who dared speak to her this way.

"What did you say?" Queen Medusa's voice was icy.

"I said, none of your damn business," Xiao Chen repeated.

Queen Medusa's face darkened completely.

"You seek death."

Her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared before Xiao Chen.

She raised her hand and struck toward Xiao Chen's chest with her palm.

That palm carried immense Dou Qi and moved so fast that it left an afterimage in the air.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's expressions changed drastically.

"Third Brother, be careful!"

Xiao Yi Xian cried out in alarm as well.

Xiao Chen stood there without moving at all.

Queen Medusa's palm struck his chest.

Bang.

A dull thud rang out.

Xiao Chen did not budge in the slightest. Even the corner of his clothes did not stir.

Queen Medusa's palm felt as though it had struck an iron plate, numbing her own hand from the impact.

Yet Xiao Chen still showed no reaction.

Her expression changed.

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Chen looked at her and said casually.

"That's it?"

A trace of shock flashed through Queen Medusa's eyes.

Though she had not used her full strength in that strike, she had still used seventy to eighty percent of it.

Even a Dou Emperor could not possibly take that palm head-on without suffering the slightest injury.

What level of strength did this human possess?

"Who are you?" Queen Medusa asked coldly.

Xiao Chen did not answer.

Queen Medusa suppressed the shock in her heart and stared at Xiao Chen.

"No matter who you are, that thing belongs to my Snake-People Tribe."

"Do not set your sights on it."

"Otherwise, die."

Xiao Chen looked at her, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

"I already said it. None of your damn business."

Queen Medusa's face sank.

"You seek death."

The Dou Qi within her surged wildly as the aura of a peak Dou Emperor erupted in full.

The surrounding sand exploded beneath that aura, yellow dust swirling through the sky.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were forced back several steps by the pressure.

Xiao Yi Xian's face turned pale as well.

Queen Medusa flashed forward and charged at Xiao Chen again.

This time, she used her full strength.

With one palm strike, her Dou Qi condensed into a gigantic palm imprint that blasted toward Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen raised his hand and met it with a palm strike of his own.

The two palm imprints collided.

Boom.

Queen Medusa felt a terrifying force surge through her palm, sending her flying backward.

She flipped through the air several times before barely steadying herself.

After landing, she staggered back several more steps, leaving a trail of deep footprints in the sand.

Queen Medusa raised her head and stared at Xiao Chen in shock.

Her full-force palm strike had actually been knocked back by this human's single palm?

And from the look of it, he had not even used his full strength.

"Y-you... your strength..."

Queen Medusa's voice trembled slightly.

She had sensed it.

Xiao Chen's aura was far stronger than hers.

That was not an aura a Dou Emperor could possess.

A Dou Zong.

This human was a Dou Zong powerhouse.

"How is that possible?" Queen Medusa's face was full of disbelief.

When had the Jia Ma Empire produced such a young Dou Zong powerhouse?

Xiao Chen looked at her without speaking.

Queen Medusa gritted her teeth, a flicker of unwillingness flashing through her eyes.

She was the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, a peak Dou Emperor.

How could she lose to a human?

Queen Medusa activated her Dou Qi once more and lunged at Xiao Chen.

This time, she was even faster, and the wind from her palm was even sharper.

Xiao Chen looked at her and shook his head.

He raised his hand and struck with his palm.

This strike was powered by the force of the Huangquan Finger.

A pale-yellow finger beam shot from his fingertip and struck Queen Medusa's shoulder.

Bang.

Queen Medusa was sent flying backward again and crashed heavily onto the ground.

She groaned, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

A hole had been torn through the clothing over her shoulder, exposing the skin beneath.

A clear streak of blood was visible there.

Queen Medusa struggled to rise, but her injuries were too severe. After several attempts, she still failed.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with shock.

One strike.

Just one strike.

She had not even had room to resist.

This human's strength far exceeded her imagination.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li stood nearby, utterly dumbfounded.

Queen Medusa.

A peak Dou Emperor.

The queen of the Snake-People Tribe.

Before Xiao Chen, she had not even lasted two palm strikes.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, he..."

Xiao Ding took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.

"Third Brother is even stronger than we imagined."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Chen's back, her eyes full of admiration.

She knew Xiao Chen was strong.

But she had never expected him to be this strong.

Even Queen Medusa was no match for him.

Queen Medusa gritted her teeth and rose from the ground.

Her body swayed, and she nearly collapsed again.

"Y-you... who exactly are you?"

Xiao Chen looked at her and answered flatly.

"Xiao Chen."

Queen Medusa gritted her teeth.

If she continued fighting, she would likely suffer even worse injuries.

Queen Medusa gave Xiao Chen one last look, then turned and flew toward the Snake-People Tribe's settlement.

Her figure swayed several times, and she nearly fell from the sky.

Xiao Ding looked at Queen Medusa's retreating figure and only recovered after a long while.

"Third Brother, you... you defeated Queen Medusa?"

Xiao Li drew in a sharp breath.

"Third Brother, you're way too strong."

Xiao Yi Xian walked over and looked at Xiao Chen.

"Are you all right?"

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"I'm fine."

He turned around and looked at the crack.

"Keep searching."

Snake-People Tribe settlement.

Queen Medusa flew back to the settlement and landed before the main hall.

Her body swayed, and she nearly fell.

Several snake-person guards hurried forward to support her.

"Your Majesty!"

Queen Medusa pushed them away and stepped into the main hall.

Several elders were waiting for her inside.

When they saw Queen Medusa enter, the elders hurried forward to greet her.

"Your Majesty, those humans are over there..."

Before they could finish speaking, several elders froze.

The wound on Queen Medusa's shoulder was clearly visible, and blood still stained the corner of her lips.

Her aura was in disarray, and her face was pale.

"Your Majesty, you're injured?"

"Who could have seriously wounded Queen Medusa of our Snake-People Tribe, a peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor?!"
