Queen Medusa's Shock!

"Punishment?"

Mo Basi gritted his teeth and said, "The Queen has been blinded by this piece of trash!"

"If it weren't for him, why would the Queen have punished me?"

"Yue Mei, are you going to move or not?"

Yue Mei looked at him coldly and said, "No."

"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Mo Basi's figure flashed, bypassing Yue Mei directly as he threw a punch toward Xiao Chen.

Yue Mei's expression changed; it was already too late to stop him.

"Xiao Chen, watch out!"

As soon as the words left her lips, Mo Basi's fist was already in front of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen watched the fist drawing closer, his eyes showing not a ripple of emotion.

He raised his hand and flicked it.

A muffled thud echoed.

Before Mo Basi's fist could even touch Xiao Chen, his entire body was sent flying backward.

Mo Basi spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily onto the ground.

He struggled to climb back up, but his bones felt as if they had fallen apart, leaving him without a shred of strength.

"Ho... how is this possible..."

Mo Basi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Being defeated by Xiao Chen in one move last time was already humiliating enough.

But at least that time, he could sense Xiao Chen's strength—a Nine-Star Dou Wang—which was indeed stronger than his own.

But this time...

He hadn't even seen how Xiao Chen had made his move!

"Your... your strength..."

Mo Basi stared at Xiao Chen, his pupils constricting.

"Impossible... this is impossible..."

"I don't believe it, come again."

Inside the Stone Hall.

Queen Medusa sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, her Dou Qi circulating slowly within her.

She closed her eyes, attempting to break through the barrier.

Dou Ancestor.

She had been stuck at this threshold for a long time.

With her current strength, she was already considered top-tier in the Jia Ma Empire.

But if she wanted to truly stand on the stage of the continent, the Dou Ancestor realm was only the starting point.

"Still not working..."

Queen Medusa opened her eyes, a trace of exhaustion flashing through them.

That barrier remained impossible to break through.

She took a deep breath and was just about to continue her cultivation when a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.

"Queen!"

The First Elder's voice came from outside, carrying a hint of anxiety.

Queen Medusa frowned and rose to walk out of the cultivation room.

"What is it?"

The First Elder bowed and said, "Queen, Mo Basi has attacked Xiao Chen without authorization. I beg the Queen to punish him severely at once!"

Hearing this, Queen Medusa's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Mo Basi?"

"Isn't he supposed to be in confinement?"

The First Elder replied, "His confinement period ended, and he just came out today."

"The moment he got out, he went to cause trouble for Xiao Chen. The two of them are already fighting outside."

"I beg the Queen to head over immediately; if we are late, I fear..."

Queen Medusa did not wait for him to finish, walking directly toward the outside.

The First Elder hurriedly followed.

When the two arrived, Mo Basi was just climbing up from the ground.

He was covered in wounds, yet the fury in his eyes grew ever more intense.

"Xiao Chen!"

Mo Basi let out a furious roar, his Dou Qi surging wildly within his body.

"I don't believe it!"

His figure erupted into motion as he charged toward Xiao Chen.

This time, he used his full strength.

"Go to hell!"

Mo Basi bellowed, throwing a punch aimed directly at Xiao Chen's head.

If this punch landed, he would surely die.

Queen Medusa arrived just in time to see this scene and coldly shouted, "Stop!"

Mo Basi heard the Queen's reprimand, but instead of stopping, he accelerated.

He refused to accept this!

Why did the Queen treat this piece of trash so well?

Why had he worked so hard for so many years only to be unable to take a single blow from this waste? It had caused him to lose all face.

"Die!"

Mo Basi's eyes were filled with resentment.

The Second Elder stood not far away, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes as he watched the scene.

He truly hoped that Xiao Chen would die at the hands of Mo Basi.

Xiao Chen watched the charging Mo Basi and raised his hand.

He struck out with a palm.

This palm collided with Mo Basi's fist.

"Crack."

The sound of bones breaking echoed out.

"Ah."

Mo Basi let out a miserable scream as his entire body was sent flying backward once again.

His right arm was bent at a grotesque angle; it was clearly broken.

"My arm... my arm..."

Mo Basi collapsed onto the ground, clutching his broken arm and wailing in pain.

Blood dripped down his arm, pooling onto the ground.

The surrounding Snake-People were stunned by the sight.

Mo Basi was one of the Eight Great Leaders, a powerhouse at the level of an Eight-Star Dou Wang.

The Second Elder's expression darkened as he stepped forward, pointing at Xiao Chen and cursing, "Insolent!"

"Xiao Chen, you have some nerve!"

"What crime do you deserve for harming a clansman?"

"Mo Basi is one of the Eight Great Leaders; do you have no regard for clan rules after beating him like this?"

The Second Elder turned to Queen Medusa, bowing as he said, "Queen, Xiao Chen has harmed a clansman; his crime is unforgivable!"

"Please, Queen, punish Xiao Chen severely to uphold the clan rules!"

Queen Medusa ignored the Second Elder, her gaze fixed on Xiao Chen as a flash of shock crossed her eyes.

She could feel it.

The aura emanating from Xiao Chen was even stronger than before.

The last time she saw Xiao Chen, he was still a Nine-Star Dou Wang.

How much time had passed since then?

Now, the aura on Xiao Chen...

"Six-Star Dou Huang..."

A storm of shock surged within Queen Medusa's heart.

A Six-Star Dou Huang!

This level of strength was already catching up to her own.

And it had only been a few days?

Even for her, she was nowhere near this fast in her cultivation speed.

Could the Multi-Child Multi-Blessing fortune of Xiao Chen really be this terrifying?

Queen Medusa took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

She knew that her previous decision had been the right one.

The value of Xiao Chen was even greater than she had imagined.

Yue Mei stood to the side, also sensing the change in the aura emanating from Xiao Chen.

She widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"Six... Six-Star Dou Huang?"

Yue Mei's voice was trembling.

When she married Xiao Chen, he had only been at the third stage of Dou Disciple.

Later, he had turned into a Nine-Star Dou Wang overnight, which had already left her too shocked to speak.

But now?

A Six-Star Dou Huang!

Yue Mei looked at Xiao Chen, a complex mix of emotions swirling in her heart.

She had married Xiao Chen on the orders of the Queen, and in her heart, she had actually been unwilling.

But now...

She suddenly felt as if she had struck gold.

Seeing that Queen Medusa remained silent, the Second Elder stepped forward again and said, "Queen, Xiao Chen has harmed his own kin; according to clan rules, he must be severely punished!"

"I ask that you issue an order immediately, Queen!"

Queen Medusa withdrew her gaze, looked at the Second Elder, and said indifferently, "Enough."

The Second Elder was stunned and said, "Queen..."

"I said enough."

Queen Medusa's tone grew impatient.

"It was Mo Basi who struck first; Xiao Chen was merely acting in self-defense."

"Self-defense?" The Second Elder grew anxious.

"Queen, Mo Basi's arm has been broken; how can you call this self-defense?"

"Xiao Chen clearly injured him on purpose!"

Queen Medusa glanced at him and said, "Second Elder, let me ask you."

"Where were you when Mo Basi attacked Xiao Chen?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's expression changed, and he said, "I... I only just arrived..."

"Only just arrived?" Queen Medusa sneered.

"I heard that you have been nearby the entire time."

"When Mo Basi attacked Xiao Chen, you did not stop him."

"Yet when Mo Basi was injured by Xiao Chen, you were the first to jump out."

"What is the meaning of this?"

The Second Elder's face flushed red, and he opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He had indeed been nearby the whole time.

He had indeed hoped that Mo Basi would beat Xiao Chen to death.

But he had never expected that it would be Mo Basi who ended up with a broken arm.

"Queen, I..."

The Second Elder still wanted to explain, but Queen Medusa waved her hand, cutting him off.

"Enough, say no more."
