Half a Medusa

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and Xiao Yi Xian became increasingly proficient in using her Flight Dou Technique.

But compared to Blue Eagle and Wu Yong's flying speed, she was much slower.

In the end, she still had to let Wu Yong carry her.

Wu Yong flew very fast. He could cover over ten thousand li in two hours, saving as much time as possible.

Even carrying that first-tier Blue Eagle would not affect Wu Yong's flying speed.

Over the past few days, while escorting Xiao Yi Xian through the air, Wu Yong had already finished modifying part of the Amethyst Spirit Crystal.

He evenly divided that Amethyst Spirit Crystal into ten pieces, each about the size of an egg.

Four pieces of Amethyst Spirit Crystal had now been modified by Wu Yong, and he wanted to test their effects.

Looking curiously at the egg-sized crystal in her hand, where cyan and purple were flawlessly intertwined, Xiao Yi Xian sat atop Blue Eagle and examined it.

Wu Yong had just given it to her. He had also said that although it did not possess particularly powerful offensive abilities and offered no direct help in battle—

If he had to choose, even if a Di-tier Dou Technique were placed before him, he would not care for it and would only choose this crystal.

One minute after Wu Yong flew away, the crystal in Xiao Yi Xian's hand suddenly lit up, flickering with cyan light.

"Hello, hello, Little Fairy, can you hear me?"

"A Yong?! Is that you speaking?"

A surprised expression appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face. She carefully raised the crystal before her and spoke to it.

Then, after thinking for a moment, she placed the crystal against her ear.

The next second, Wu Yong's voice came from within the crystal.

"It's me. Little Fairy, your voice sounds so nice."

"A Yong, your voice sounds nice too. Where are you now?"

"The distance between us is probably around fifty li."

"Fifty li, yet we can still talk normally. A Yong, you're amazing!"

Holding the crystal in her hand, Xiao Yi Xian immediately understood why Wu Yong had said he would not trade it even for a Di-tier Dou Technique.

Such a miraculous treasure had surely been created by Wu Yong himself. It was probably the only one of its kind on the Dou Qi Continent, wasn't it?

As expected of her A Yong. He really was amazing!

After several hours of testing, Wu Yong and Xiao Yi Xian figured out the general properties of the Wind Message Spirit Crystal.

There was no limit to the distance over which it could transmit messages. It was just as Wu Yong had originally designed it: even separated by tens of millions of li, information could still be sent across, because the wind would help him.

However, once the distance between both sides exceeded a thousand li, there would be a certain delay in their communication.

And as the distance increased, the delay would grow longer and longer.

"It's all right, A Yong. This is already very good. It's your first time making it..."

Regarding the Wind Message Crystal Wu Yong had made for the first time, Xiao Yi Xian stroked Wu Yong, who was lying across her lap, and comforted him.

This was a method of communication that had never appeared on the Dou Qi Continent before. It crossed distance, requiring nothing more than opening one's mouth.

There was not even a threshold for using it. Even someone with three stages of Dou Qi could use it to communicate with a Dou Emperor powerhouse tens of millions of li away.

As for a tiny bit of delay, that was simply too normal.

"I understand. Besides, this is already the limit of what I can do for now. It can only be like this. We'll make do with it."

Wu Yong nodded and looked at the two remaining Wind Message Crystals in his hand, wondering whom to give them to.

Seeing that Wu Yong truly was not dejected by this, Xiao Yi Xian also sighed in relief. She gently stroked his short hair, and the unusual texture made her smile.

A wave of heat rushed toward them. The two, lying on Blue Eagle hundreds of meters in the air, immediately sat up.

Looking down, they realized they had arrived at the Tagor Desert.

After flying over the desert for a while, Wu Yong looked at Blue Eagle, which was nearly exhausted, and shook his head. A first-tier magical beast was still no good.

"I'll carry you two. This place is too hot—"

Before Wu Yong could finish speaking, he sensed a powerful aura approaching them.

Leaving Xiao Yi Xian and Blue Eagle to fly slowly behind him, Wu Yong spread his cyan wings and charged forward on surging winds, leaving a string of sonic boom clouds in his wake.

Only after those sonic boom clouds gradually dispersed did Xiao Yi Xian have Blue Eagle slowly follow after him.

She was not worried about Wu Yong's safety. She had personally watched him deal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King before, and she had great confidence in his strength.

Several kilometers away, the purple figure sensed that unfamiliar aura. Rather than retreating, it was flying directly toward her. Dou Qi surged around her body as she likewise charged forward with unstoppable momentum.

The cyan and purple streaks of light, carrying terrifying auras, finally collided.

A dreadful storm swept across several hundred meters, leaving countless marks in the desert below.

"Such a young Dou Wang?!"

"Queen Medusa?"

After the collision, Queen Medusa's figure appeared. Surprise showed on her bewitching face.

On the other side, Wu Yong frowned as he looked at Queen Medusa. She truly was breathtakingly beautiful, even if her lower body was a serpent's tail.

What was frightening was that despite her obvious feminine features, her physical strength was genuinely at the level of a magical beast.

Perhaps she was currently not comparable to a sixth-tier magical beast, but ordinary human powerhouses still could not contend with her head-on.

I can't fight her at close range.

As Wu Yong thought this, a battle saber had already appeared in his hand.

At the same time, countless cyan wind blades surged toward Queen Medusa.

On the other side, Medusa likewise manipulated the Power of Heaven and Earth, forming it into a giant purple python that lunged at the youth opposite her.

Yet the instant that purple energy python came into contact with the wind blades, it was shredded completely.

Medusa's figure flickered. As a peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor, this was the first time she had lost to a Dou Wang in energy manipulation.

With another wave of her hand, powerful Dou Qi erupted from Medusa's body and forcibly obliterated the wind blades.

But in the next instant, she saw Wu Yong swing out a cyan-black blade aura less than a zhang long, and her expression changed drastically!

After leaving the blade, that cyan-black blade aura transformed into a black streak of light. As if crossing space itself, it appeared before her in an instant.

Seeing that she was about to be cut in half at the waist, Medusa did not hesitate at all. She made the instinctive response necessary for survival and revealed her hundred-meter-long purple serpent body.

The cyan-black blade aura pierced through her serpent body, leaving behind a bloody hole a zhang wide.

But compared to her hundred-meter-long body, that bloody hole did not seem particularly noticeable.

Enduring her injuries, Medusa still tried to bite the youth.

However, when she sensed spatial fluctuations above her head and looked upward along those fluctuations, Medusa was instantly terrified out of her wits. It felt as though her mind exploded with a boom.

Seeing the youth's middle and ring fingers about to separate, Medusa immediately returned to her Snake-Person form. Clutching her continuously bleeding abdomen, she transformed into countless giant energy serpents and fled in every direction.

This was the Snake-Person Race's highest-level secret escape technique, a splitting art that had helped countless Snake-Person powerhouses escape death.

Yet Wu Yong was not worried in the slightest. The wind would tell him which one was Queen Medusa.

His gaze fixed tightly on the giant serpent fleeing through the desert. He raised his hand, aimed at her waist, and prepared to cut her in half.

Turn Queen Medusa into half a...

"Open!"

"Ah!"

Blood sprayed through the air, followed by Queen Medusa's scream.

Medusa, whose lower body had been severed, revealed herself. She flew miserably through the air, looking incomparably pale as she stared at the severed lower half of her serpent tail.

Had Queen Medusa not burst forth with astonishing speed at the critical moment, she would have been cut in half at the waist. Even so, she still had not escaped Wu Yong's Space Slash.

Moreover, her splitting secret technique had been interrupted and could not be used again for a short time. Her injuries had worsened, and the long-forgotten aura of death coiled around Queen Medusa's heart.

"Hmph, you overestimate yourself!"

Wu Yong snorted coldly. His icy eyes locked onto Medusa's neck, once flawlessly pale but now inevitably stained with blood, making it seem to possess a unique beauty instead.

As he raised his hand, the power of space emerged. Seeing that another Space Slash was about to come, Queen Medusa closed her eyes. Countless memories surfaced in her mind, spinning past like a revolving lantern.

"The head is still too high."

Driven by a living being's instinctive desire to survive, Medusa subconsciously lowered her head.

A section of her golden queen's crown was sliced off and fell from the sky. Looking at the half of the crown lying in the sand, Medusa lowered her head even further.

The pride in the fierce Queen Medusa's heart was completely crushed in that moment, vanishing without a trace.

Slowly, she landed beside the half of her crown and gradually knelt down.

Holding the half-crown in both hands, she pressed her head against the sand and submitted to that youth in an incomparably humiliating posture.
