Battle Through the Heavens: Flame Emperor, Please Restrain Yourself—Your Brother Is Truly Quite Simple and Honest Chapter 48

"So even if he might originally have been willing to hand me over to you as a compromise, he absolutely cannot agree to it now."

Zhang Yuan's gaze swept over the several Dou Wangs not far away.

Queen Medusa raised a hand and stroked her delicate chin, her eyes thoughtful.

Jia Xingtian spoke at that moment. "Medusa, I cannot betray anyone from the empire. You'd best leave at once, or I'll have no choice but to experience your methods again."

As he spoke, the aura of a peak Dou Emperor erupted from Jia Xingtian's body.

Queen Medusa lowered her fair hand and smiled with interest. "You got that right. It seems you're quite clever. This king wants to have her way with you more and more."

As her words fell, Dou Qi surged wildly within Queen Medusa. Combined with the energy of the outside world, it formed several large red scale-armored snakes that shot forth and attacked Jia Xingtian.

Attacking without even a warning—was this not just like Queen Medusa, who preferred letting strength do the talking?

"Medusa, how dare you!"

Jia Xingtian roared and immediately mobilized the earth-element energy around him, condensing an enormous wall of Dou Qi earth before himself. Arrows of Dou Qi earth shot out from the wall.

This was a High-level Profound tier Dou Technique, Thousand Wave Turbulence!

Under the barrage of those earth arrows, the several red energy snakes were swiftly dealt with.

But that brief delay was enough for Queen Medusa to arrive before Zhang Yuan and extend her fair hand for the third time.

"Kid, Jia Xingtian may not be able to agree openly, but can't he try his best to stop me and then helplessly slip up?"

"This king is stronger than him!"

Queen Medusa transmitted her voice directly to Zhang Yuan, telling him that he might possess a bit of so-called political wisdom, but he was still too green and did not understand that old bastard Jia Xingtian's character.

"Since you know to say such things to me in private, Your Majesty's wisdom has improved quite quickly."

Zhang Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he poured out his Dou Qi at full force, channeling it into the Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.

Whoosh.

He transformed into a streak of lightning and retreated rapidly.

But Queen Medusa had long been prepared. Her fair hands suddenly came together.

Whoosh!

An enormous crimson serpent, its tongue flicking, flew from between her hands. It caught up to Zhang Yuan in an instant and opened its massive jaws.

The attack was incredibly fast, but if Zhang Yuan used his full strength, he could still escape.

Yet he did not. He simply watched calmly.

Boom!

Another earthen wall of energy appeared out of thin air, blocking the crimson serpent's attack.

The Dou Qi wings behind Jia Xingtian's back fluttered, and within a breath, he arrived not far in front of Zhang Yuan.

"Hm?" Suspicion filled Queen Medusa's eyes.

That old immortal Jia Xingtian was actually trying so hard today.

Was he afraid that those Dou Wangs nearby would notice something?

Ordinary Dou Wangs lacked the strength to tell whether peak Dou Emperors were holding back when they fought, but one of them seemed to be Pill King Gu He. With his powerful soul force, he might be able to detect it.

So Jia Xingtian was putting on an act?

"Let this king see whether you, old immortal, have improved at all over these years."
