Yue Mei hurried into the grand hall, her footsteps rapid.
Her expression was unsightly, and her eyes held a trace of gravity.
Queen Medusa sat upon her throne, and seeing her enter, she raised a brow slightly.
"What is it?"
Queen Medusa asked.
Yue Mei cupped her fists and spoke in a deep voice.
"Queen, the experts from the Jia Ma Empire have arrived at the Tagor Desert."
Yue Mei said, "They are currently challenging us outside the tribe."
Queen Medusa's eyes narrowed slightly.
Yue Mei continued.
"Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan are both among them, along with Nalan Jie and several Dou King experts."
"They have declared that our Snake-People Tribe must immediately hand over Yun Yun, her disciple, and the two princesses."
"If not, they will raze the Snake-People Tribe to the ground."
As soon as her voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
The expressions of the several elders sank instantly.
The First Elder spoke first, his tone filled with fury.
"Raze us to the ground? What arrogant words."
The First Elder said coldly.
The Third Elder could no longer restrain himself either.
"That old thing Jia Xingtian—last time the Queen spared his life, not only does he not know when to stop, but he dares to bring people here to provoke us."
The Third Elder's voice carried uncontrollable anger.
The Fourth Elder shook his head repeatedly.
"Who do they think they are? Just relying on those few people, they dare to talk about razing the Snake-People Tribe to the ground?"
The Fourth Elder's tone was full of disdain.
The Second Elder stood to the side, his expression equally grim.
Queen Medusa slowly stood up from her throne.
There was no expression on her face, but the chill in her purple eyes was nearly overflowing.
"Since they are seeking death, I shall grant their wish."
After Queen Medusa finished speaking, her figure flashed, and she headed outside the hall.
The several elders hurriedly followed.
Xiao Chen was also among the crowd, walking toward the outside of the tribe together.
Tagor Desert.
The scorching sun hung in the sky, and yellow sand filled the air.
The experts of the Jia Ma Empire stood in the desert, each one looking aggressive.
Jia Xingtian stood at the very front, his body radiating the aura of a peak Dou Emperor.
Yun Shan stood beside him, his white hair fluttering in the wind, his gaze gloomy.
The father and son, Nalan Jie and Nalan Su, stood behind them.
There were also several Dou King experts from the Jia Ma Empire lined up in a row.
Seeing Queen Medusa lead the members of the Snake-People Tribe out from the tribe, Jia Xingtian stepped forward.
"Queen Medusa, you have finally come out."
Jia Xingtian said in a deep voice.
Queen Medusa stopped in her tracks, looking at him with an indifferent expression.
"Jia Xingtian, last time I spared your life, not only are you ungrateful, but you dare to bring people to my Snake-People Tribe to run wild."
Queen Medusa's voice was terrifyingly calm.
Jia Xingtian's expression changed.
Yun Shan spoke up at this moment.
"Medusa, enough with the nonsense."
Yun Shan said coldly, "Hand over Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran."
"Otherwise, today we shall trample your Snake-People Tribe into the ground."
Queen Medusa looked at Yun Shan, a mocking curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Level the Snake-People Tribe?"
Queen Medusa said indifferently.
"Just with the likes of you?"
Yun Shan's expression darkened.
"Medusa, don't be too arrogant."
Yun Shan said coldly, "Although I lost last time, this time, with Jia Xingtian and me joining forces, you might not necessarily be our match."
Jia Xingtian also stepped forward, his Dou Qi surging.
"That's right, Medusa. Even though you are a Dou Ancestor, if the two of us join forces, you won't be able to gain any advantage."
Jia Xingtian said in a deep voice, "If you know what's good for you, hand the person over."
Queen Medusa looked at the two of them as if she were looking at two ants.
"Then let's try."
After Queen Medusa finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from her body.
The pressure of a Dou Ancestor surged toward Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan like a tidal wave.
The expressions of both men changed simultaneously.
They exchanged a glance and attacked at the same time.
Jia Xingtian struck out with a palm, his peak Dou Emperor Dou Qi condensing into a palm print that blasted toward Queen Medusa.
Yun Shan also made his move; his Dou Qi transformed into a sword beam, thrusting straight at Queen Medusa's chest.
Attacking from the left and right, the two of them sealed off all of Queen Medusa's retreat paths.
Watching the two of them attack in tandem, a trace of disdain flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes.
She raised her right hand, and the Dou Qi within her body surged wildly.
A dark, pitch-black light condensed in her palm, emitting an aura that made one's heart tremble.
Heavenly Underworld Asura Hand.
The High-tier Earth-grade Dou Technique that Xiao Chen had taught her.
Queen Medusa struck out with her palm.
The pitch-black Dou Qi transformed into a massive black hand, slamming toward Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan.
In front of the black hand, Jia Xingtian's palm print was instantly shattered.
Yun Shan's sword beam was equally fragile.
The black hand tore through everything with unstoppable force, striking both men directly.
Jia Xingtian was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood before crashing heavily onto the sandy ground.
Yun Shan fared no better; struck in the chest by the black hand, he was sent flying several meters away.
He hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The entire scene fell into a dead silence.
The experts of the Jia Ma Empire stood frozen in place, their eyes wide with shock.
Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan, joining forces, had actually been defeated by Queen Medusa with a single palm strike.
What kind of strength was this?
Nalan Jie stood in the back, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.
"This... how is this possible..."
Nalan Jie's voice was trembling.
Jia Xingtian struggled to climb up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Queen Medusa, the shock in his eyes nearly overflowing.
"You... what kind of Dou Technique is this?"
Yun Shan also climbed to his feet, his expression even uglier than Jia Xingtian's.
He stared at Queen Medusa, his heart churning with stormy waves.
The power of this Dou Technique was stronger than any he had ever seen.
It was definitely an Earth-grade Dou Technique.
How could the Snake-People Tribe possess an Earth-grade Dou Technique?
Queen Medusa looked at the two of them in their disheveled state, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.
She was also secretly marveling in her heart.
The Di-tier Dou Technique Xiao Chen gave her was truly astonishing in its power.
Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan, even joining forces, could not withstand a single move from her.
A high-tier Di-tier Dou Technique was indeed worthy of its reputation.
Queen Medusa pulled back her thoughts, her gaze once again landing on Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan.
A flash of killing intent crossed her eyes.
"Since you delivered yourselves to my doorstep, do not blame this Queen for being ruthless."
After Queen Medusa finished speaking, she raised her palm.
Dark-colored light condensed in her palm once again.
Jia Xingtian's expression changed drastically.
Yun Shan's pupils also constricted violently.
They both felt that terrifying aura.
If Queen Medusa struck with another palm, they would undoubtedly die.
Just at this moment, several figures rushed out from the Snake-People Tribe.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran.
Along with the sisters Yao Yue and Yao Ye, the four of them appeared before their eyes.
"Queen Medusa, please show mercy."
Yun Yun said urgently.
Queen Medusa frowned.
"Move aside."
Queen Medusa said coldly.
Yun Yun did not move.
Nalan Yanran also spoke up.
"Queen Medusa, please spare my grandfather and the others."
Nalan Yanran said, her voice filled with pleading.
Yao Yue also hurriedly added.
"Queen Medusa, I beg you not to hurt my Imperial Grandfather."
