The multicolored energy around her fist erupted. Seeing this, Lei Qi's Dou Qi surged through his meridians like a roaring flood. A long spear appeared in his hand, and black lightning swiftly poured forth, completely enveloping him. Then, Lei Qi thrust his spear forward!
Clang!
The instant they collided, a resounding metallic clash rang out, shaking the entire sky!
High in the sky, powerful ripples of force spread outward like waves from the point of impact. The two figures recoiled sharply after only a brief exchange.
Cai Lin had not expected her nearly full-powered strike to be so easily neutralized. Moreover, the numbing sensation brought by the black lightning used as an offensive technique left her secretly shocked.
Strong.
Although she was already a late-stage one-star Dou Zong, she had no confidence whatsoever in defeating Lei Qi.
Whoosh!
Just as the Queen was astonished by Lei Qi's strength, a streak of black lightning suddenly flashed behind her. Lei Qi appeared at her back, and his voice followed. "What is it? Do you still want to continue?"
The Queen's response was simple and direct. She swung her sword at Lei Qi.
Bang!
However, Lei Qi effortlessly blocked her strike again.
"If you insist on continuing, I won't be so polite anymore," Lei Qi said with a smile.
The Queen grew even angrier as she looked at Lei Qi!
She was a Dou Zong, yet she was being suppressed like this??
Most importantly, Lei Qi had yet to use any of his trump cards.
That was, some high-tier Dou Techniques!!
Given Lei Qi's family and his standing within it, he surely possessed many powerful Dou Techniques. Yet he had not used a single one so far.
On the other hand, in those few brief moments of combat, she had already used several Dou Techniques belonging to Queen Medusa. But she could not bring herself to admit defeat just like that!
"Lei Qi, if you can't defeat me, I will never yield," the Queen said through gritted teeth.
She wanted to know just how strong Lei Qi was now!
"If that's the case, then I'll grant your wish." Lei Qi sighed. Then the power of lightning began to emerge, and the multicolored energy in the sky was swiftly overtaken by black lightning!
Thunderous Dance!
The dense black lightning even stirred the energy of heaven and earth. In an instant, dark clouds shrouded this entire stretch of land!
"Is this an Earth-tier Dou Technique?" the Queen muttered to herself as she sensed the fluctuations of energy between heaven and earth. Then, her multicolored Dou Qi rapidly began to boil.
She wanted to test herself in a direct clash!
Although Lei Qi had used an Earth-tier Dou Technique, he was only a three-star Dou King. With the gap in their realms, she refused to believe that she could not withstand it!
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
Now that Lei Qi was using this Earth-tier Dou Technique once again, he could naturally unleash its full power. Seeing that Cai Lin still wanted to struggle, he simply gave her what she wanted.
Whoosh!
The moment the energy of heaven and earth boiled, Lei Qi flicked the tip of his spear. A beam of black energy almost instantly shot downward!
Boom!!
Crash!!
The defense created by the Queen shattered almost instantly!!
Yet the black beam of energy did not strike the Queen. Just before it could hit her, it broke apart and scattered in every direction!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Boom!!!
The specks of black lightning directly invaded the sprawling mountain range. In an instant, several mountains exploded and began to collapse!!
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
At that moment, Lei Qi flashed again. When he reappeared, he was already beside Cai Lin, and the long spear in his hand had vanished.
"One's realm has never determined one's personal strength. You don't have high-tier Dou Techniques, so it's normal for you to lose. As for why I didn't use high-tier Dou Techniques, it's because my lightning is too violent. If I lose control, you could get hurt," Lei Qi said.
His mutated Black Demon Lightning, further enhanced by a Heavenly Flame, was terrifyingly powerful. Combined with a high-tier Dou Technique, Lei Qi was certain that even he would not be able to control it properly.
It was not that he was worried about the Queen getting hurt. What cultivator was afraid of injury?
She was carrying his descendant. That was an extremely important reward, so naturally, he could not allow the child to suffer any harm.
"Still, you need to be taught a lesson."
She had attacked several times, and every move had been broken by Lei Qi. Even her spatial power could not restrain him, yet she still wanted to continue. That was somewhat ungrateful.
Thus, in Cai Lin's eyes, it was perfectly understandable for Lei Qi to teach her a lesson.
Besides, Lei Qi had defeated her with his own strength. What did she have to be dissatisfied about?
"That's more like it. Be good." It was obvious that the Queen's attitude had undergone a tremendous change.
So this woman became this obedient after a beating. Sure enough, on the Dou Qi Continent, the biggest fist had the most say. Of course, it was not too late now.
His battle with the Queen had still felt somewhat restrained. To put it plainly, she had not even transformed into her true form. For a Magical Beast, its true form was undoubtedly where it could unleash its greatest combat strength.
Moreover, she had yet to master some of her innate divine abilities.
In short, the battle had not been very satisfying. But if he properly nurtured the Queen, she would definitely become a great help in the future. And there was another benefit: the Queen had already set her sights on him.
One had to know that once Queen Medusa recognized a man, she would never regret it, even unto death.
There was one more thing he could be certain of: his Black Demon Lightning was very powerful. At least for now, even if he encountered a Dou Zong with trump cards, he could still go head-to-head with them.
Still, that was only speculation. Without actually fighting one, there was naturally no way to be certain.
Over the next several days, Lei Qi exchanged combat experience with Cai Lin. Of course, such days passed quickly. After nearly seven days, Lei Qi had no choice but to leave.
The Queen's ability to learn was truly outrageous. Lei Qi had experienced that firsthand.
Naturally, he found a good excuse when he left: they both needed to cultivate. Otherwise, if the Queen found out that he had already been defeated yet was still stubbornly holding on, she would laugh herself to death at him!
What man did not care about his pride? Lei Qi was naturally a man who cared about his pride as well!
Besides, Lei Qi had realized that while having a Queen who had completely submitted to him was certainly pleasant, it was also damaging to his health.
Most importantly, Lei Qi had not properly devoted himself to cultivation these past few days.
