Yue Mei: Why Fight? I Just Want to Ship Them

The sight of Mo Basi being captured by Xiao Yan with one hand and casually tossed back caused the other six leaders' pupils to shrink sharply, and they couldn't help but gasp.

The square was deathly silent, save for the sound of wind and sand and Mo Basi's suppressed cough.

The Yin Shi's murky eyes held a complex expression. When he spoke up to warn Xiao Yan earlier, he had already sensed a terrifyingly hot aura emanating from him. However, when he witnessed this young Dou Huang expert Mo Basi, who was also known for his strength, with just his physical power, his aged face was no longer filled with doubt, but only with deep fear and solemnity.

It's important to know that because Snake-Person Tribe are born with the souls of snake-like magical beasts, they not only have human bodies and snake tails in appearance, but their physical attributes are also close to those of real magical beasts.

The other leaders, including Yan Ci, Hei Du, and Nan She, who had previously shown dissatisfaction, now had extremely ugly expressions. Their previous hostility and jealousy were instantly replaced by immense horror.

The way they looked at Xiao Yan was as if they were looking at an ancient ferocious beast in human skin.

Xiao Yan's arrogant statement, "I suggest you all come at me together," no longer sounded harsh; instead, it had become a cruel reality.

If they were to attempt a one-on-one fight with Xiao Yan, they would be inviting humiliation.

After all, if they could capture Mo Basi so easily, they could certainly capture them just as easily!

Yin Shi, as the most senior leader, made a decision instantly.

His aged yet steady voice rang out, silencing the crowd's alarm:

"Everyone! It seems that Mr. Xiao Yan's strength is indeed unfathomable, but if we join forces, even Dou Huang expert won't gain any advantage!" Yin Shi said, then turned to look at Xiao Yan, "If even the combined strength of our Eight Great Leaders cannot contend with you, then from this day forward, you will be the Prince Consort recognized by our Snake-Person Tribe!"

Although in principle, one needs the approval of the entire Snake-Person Tribe to become their sole Prince Consort, Yin Shi is an elder of the Snake-Person Tribe. In fact, he raised Queen Medusa from childhood, so he knows Medusa's abilities and personality very well.

Therefore, he was well aware that since Mr. Xiao Yan had gained Medusa Majesty the Queen's approval, it meant that Medusa Majesty had determined that he had the qualifications and strength to become Prince Consort of the Snake-Person Tribe.

The Snake-Person Tribe's approval, frankly speaking, is ultimately the approval of their tribal leaders.

After all, among the various Snake-People Tribe, these leaders are basically the only ones who have the final say and possess absolute power.

If the eight of them combined couldn't defeat Xiao Yan, then the powerful figures from the Jia Ma Empire would have no chance of taking him down either.

Such a talented young man would never submit to the old fogies of the Jia Ma Empire. With a Prince Consort like him around, the Snake-Person Tribe might really have a chance to escape this desert.

Besides, to put it bluntly, the Snake-Person Tribe reveres the strong. Xiao Yan, at his age, could easily defeat all eight of them alone, and the Medusa clearly cares about him. Even if they didn't obey Xiao Yan's orders, would they disobey the Medusa?

It would be better to directly acknowledge this future Prince Consort now; perhaps that would leave a good impression.

If they wait until the migration is complete before talking about recognizing His Highness the Prince Consort, wouldn't that make them seem both lacking in courage and distrustful of the Medusa's judgment?

"Fine! If even the eight of us combined can't defeat you, then I, Yan Ci, will acknowledge you as my Prince Consort!"

Although Yan Ci has a fiery temper and cultivates Fire Attribute Dou Qi, he is willing to restrain his sharpness when facing a much stronger opponent.

Upon hearing this, the other Snake-Person Tribe leaders nodded in agreement.

They didn't think too much about it. Since Elder Yin had spoken, he must have his reasons. Besides, even if the other party was Dou Huang expert, they were eight Dou Wang expert with combined Dou Technique. Eight against one, the advantage was in their hands!

However, even if they were to win by sheer numbers, they wouldn't find it particularly glorious. It would simply be a matter of waiting until Xiao Yan had cultivated to a level where he could defeat them all at once, and then they could fight him again.

And if they really lose, to put it bluntly, they won't have the face to disown this Prince Consort!

"Can I admit it now?"

Yue Mei wagged her tail, moved closer to Xiao Yan, and asked.

All she wants to do right now is ship Her Majesty the Medusa and His Highness the Prince Consort as siblings. Fighting? Get lost!

???

Yue Mei's "cowardice before the battle" and "direct surrender" left the other seven Snake-Person Tribe leaders dumbfounded.

No, we haven't even played yet, but we've already thrown one?

What does this mean?

"Sure, but if you're alone, their combined attack won't be able to reach its full potential, so you'll have to fight one match first."

Xiao Yan nodded, and then spoke seriously.

"Yue Mei, what do you mean?"

Yan Ci couldn't help but ask.

"I just believe Medusa Majesty the Queen's judgment is sound. Since she approves of His Prince Consort, I naturally follow suit. However, since Prince Consort Highness has given the order, I will join you in this effort."

Yue Mei couldn't care less whether her "last-minute defection" before the battle even started would affect the other seven tribal leaders' reputation. She had just witnessed His Prince Consort withstand a blow from the Medusa, who was only at the Dou Zong level, and he seemed completely unharmed.

That's something no ordinary Dou Huang expert could do.

Moreover, as she said, Her Prince Consort did not stop Medusa Highness's outrageous behavior, which clearly shows that Prince Consort Highness is powerful enough to deal with the eight of them.

Upon seeing Yin Shi, Yin Shi felt a chill run down his spine. From Yue Mei's reaction, it was clear that she didn't believe that the eight of them working together could defeat Mr. Xiao Yan.

But now that the die was cast, he had no choice but to act. He was eager to see for himself just how powerful this future Prince Consort was, as it concerned the future of the Snake-Person Tribe and could not be taken lightly.

"Form ranks!"

Yin Shi no longer hesitated. With a low shout, his aged body surged with Dou Qi, and he took the lead in standing at the core of the formation.

The other six leaders responded swiftly, their figures flashing as they instantly occupied six different positions, vaguely forming a mysterious serpentine battle formation.

Seven auras, each at least Four-Star Dou Wang level, soared into the sky, echoing and connecting with each other. A pressure comparable to that of Dou Huang expert spread out, making even the air thick and heavy.

Yue Mei pouted slightly in exasperation, but still managed to sway and stand at the end of the formation, her expression turning serious.

Since they were going to fight, they should fight seriously. She was also very curious to see how much strength this young Prince Consort would show when facing the combined forces of the eight of them.

Xiao Yan at the front of the formation, looking at the battle formation composed of eight Dou Wang expert. Instead of fear, a smile of interest appeared on his face.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes fluttering in the strong winds generated by the combined attack, yet his posture exuded an extraordinary sense of composure.

"I'm sorry to offend you, Mr. Xiao Yan!"

As soon as Yin Shi finished speaking, the other seven people simultaneously murmured.

"Eight Snake Strangling!"

Eight powerful Dou Qi of different colors transformed into eight giant pythons, roaring out from different directions. They did not simply shoot straight at each other, but attacked simultaneously from eight directions. Once they got close, they directly intertwined and twisted in the air, forming a sealed cage. With a piercing hiss, they tore through the air and tightened the snake formation, clearly intending to trap Xiao Yan inside and then strangle him!

At the edge of the square, Queen Medusa's purple eyes held a languid air.

Although she didn't know exactly how monstrous Xiao Yan's combat power was, she was quite clear about some of Xiao Yan trump cards.

He had previously used the Fire Lotus Dou Technique, formed by Fused Heavenly Flame, in the Inner Academy. If he were to unleash it again with his current strength, even she, a Dou Zong powerhouse, would probably have to avoid its edge.

The combined attack of a mere eight experts who were not even at the Peak Dou King, no matter how strong, could only pose a threat to experts at the Dou Emperor level. Compared to an attack at the Dou Zong level, it was obviously far inferior.

However, the power of that Fire Lotus Dou Technique was too great. Although she often cursed Xiao Yan as a bastard, she knew that Xiao Yan was not confused when it came to serious matters. This was the Holy City of the Snake-Person Tribe, and Xiao Yan should not have used Dou Technique with such destructive power.

So, what methods will he use to win this match?

Medusa leaned back, as if she were against a wall even though there was nothing behind her. She crossed her arms and leisurely watched Xiao Yan's back.

Faced with this terrifying combined attack that was enough to kill an ordinary Two-Star Dou Emperor, Xiao Yan was not particularly afraid. However, just as Queen Medusa had thought, he did not want to confront it head-on. He simply shifted his feet slightly, and his figure instantly became blurred.

"Laugh!"

A faint rumble of thunder sounded, and Xiao Yan's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost!

The eight intertwined and strangling Dou Qi pythons almost brushed past his afterimage, fiercely coiling together and shredding his afterimage!

"So fast!"

Where did he go?

The leaders were shocked. The speed that Xiao Yan had just displayed was actually much faster than that of a wind-attribute Dou Huang expert of the same level!

Just then--

"Yan Ci, watch out behind you!"

Yin Shi shouted sternly.

Yan Ci felt an intensely hot aura suddenly appear behind him, which made his hair stand on end. Therefore, he almost instinctively unleashed his Fire Attribute Dou Qi wildly backward, transforming it into a thick Flame Snake Shield!

"Bang!"

A fist enveloped in blue flames slammed heavily onto the giant shield of fire.

The Eight Extremities Collapse!

Yan Ci Flame Snake Shield that Yan Ci had gathered with all his might shattered instantly like paper. The violent force penetrated his body, and he groaned as his burly body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into a stone pillar in the distance. Blood gushed from his mouth. Although the punch had not seriously injured him, the eight layers of hidden force that Xiao Yan had injected into his body made him dare not fight back.

Otherwise, if that hidden force were to erupt, he might actually die here. In this battle, he would be completely out of the game!

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye; the tribal chiefs had no time to react.

"Use your speed and Dou Technique to defeat them one by one?"

Queen Medusa raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded gently; this relatively gentle approach made her feel much more at ease.

With a single Yan Ci, Xiao Yan crippled Yan Ci. Without hesitation, he flashed again, appearing directly beside Yue Mei.

"It's with me!"

As Yue Mei spoke the warning, her internal Dou Qi surged, and she immediately unleashed Dou Technique to attack Xiao Yan.

However, before she could unleash her Dou Technique, a large, fair hand landed on her back, and an irresistible force surged from behind her, like a dump truck striking her, sending her flying. Her internal organs ached, and she landed dizzily beside Hua She'er, nestled directly into her arms.

Fire Blowing Palm!

What was once just Dou Technique used for forging iron and blowing fire, now, driven by the Dou Qi cultivated by Xiao Yan Dou Huang Realm and the Advanced Earth Tier Rank technique, unleashed a power sufficient to injure a Dou Wang expert.

"Cough cough!"

She couldn't help but cough twice to gather the chaotic Dou Qi within her body. While adjusting her breathing, she looked up at the sky.

Xiao Yan appeared beside Mo Basi, twisting his body as he punched him in the chest.

Taiji - Parry and Punch!

With a single punch, the force shot out directly from his body, heading towards Yin Shi, who was preparing to provide support, forcing him to use his own methods to deal with the situation.

As for Mo Basi, he only felt his internal organs being rubbed by a powerful force that passed through his body, and his internal organs were all in pain. Then, Xiao Yan kicked him in the buttocks, and he fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the three leaders had been defeated!

The remaining five also looked grim, their minds reeling.

"He's too fast, the formation is useless, form the Five Snake Poisonous Killing Seal!"

Looking at the three who had already lost their fighting ability, Yin Shi, dressed in a gray robe, shouted urgently with a gloomy expression.

Then, he swiftly formed a series of dazzling hand seals, and a massive, dark blue light rapidly condensed in his palms.

Upon hearing this, the other four also quickly completed the hand seals.

The instant the five completed their hand seals, a faint, ethereal energy shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping them completely. Clearly, this was a means to defend against attacks like Xiao Yan's, which could suddenly appear and disrupt the integrity of the formation.

Xiao Yan watched the increasingly concentrated energy in the hands of the five people, a look of great interest flashing in his eyes.

He had some understanding of the Dou Technique of the Snake-Person Tribe, and therefore knew very well that Snake-Person Tribe Dou Technique were unique and somewhat strange.

The technique being used now is a fusion Dou Technique, which combines the strength of everyone and allows them to attack together in order to contend with higher-level powerhouses.

"Five Snake Poisonous Killing Seal, activate!"

With a low shout from Yin Shi, the palms of the five Dou Wang expert suddenly shone brightly, and instantly, five enormous dark blue energy pillars, each several meters long, shot out from their palms.

After the azure energy pillars shot out from the palms of the five people, they began to intertwine and converge. A moment later, an extremely huge energy pillar suddenly appeared in the sky.

When this enormous pillar of energy appeared, a fierce wind suddenly rose in the desert, and an aura filled with blood and violence abruptly emerged from the pillar.

The enormous energy pillar suddenly began to churn, and in an instant, it transformed into a green energy snake more than ten feet long!
