First Meeting Yun Yun
After leaving the Poison City, Qin Yu headed straight for the Stone Desert City. Most of the area along the way was the wasteland between the Chu Yun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire.
It's only a short distance, requiring you to cross the edge of the Tagor Great Desert.
After crossing this small stretch of desert, it will take another half day to reach Stone Desert City.
But it was precisely in this short stretch of desert that things went wrong.
Halfway through the flight, the Battle Crystal within Qin Yu's body suddenly trembled violently, indicating that he was about to break through.
"Why now of all times..."
Qin Yu gritted his teeth and looked around.
Although this desert is only on the edge of the Tagor Great Desert, Medusa would definitely not let it go if she really wanted to find her.
If you encounter the leader of the Snake-People Tribe here...
He lowered his flight altitude and quickly found a sand dune nearby with a sand hole on its back.
The entrance to the sand cave has been eroded by wind and sand to only half a person's height, and it is not easily noticed unless you look closely.
Qin Yu probed inside and found it to be surprisingly sturdy.
So he went inside, briefly covered the entrance, sat down, and calmly prepared for his breakthrough.
The energy accumulated within his body had long exceeded the limit of Seven-Star Da Dou Shi, but he had been forcibly suppressing it along the way, wanting to travel as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Qin Yu stopped suppressing himself, and the Earth-Attribute Battle Qi within the Battle Crystal surged out like a flood.
Under Qin Yu's influence, the surrounding earth-elemental energy formed an invisible vortex centered on the sand cave.
Time passed slowly, and soon after, Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and a stronger wave of Dou Qi spread out.
Eight-Star Da Dou Shi.
He clenched his fist, and the power emanating from his palm felt much more solid than before.
"I wonder how Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin are doing..."
Just then, Qin Yu suddenly caught a strange sound.
He immediately suppressed his breathing, pressed his body against the inner wall of the sand cave, and listened intently.
rustling sound --
That was the sound of snake tails gliding rapidly across the sand, and there was more than one.
Qin Yu frowned slightly, and his soul power spread out.
Less than a hundred paces outside the sand cave, a sizable group of Snake People was patrolling.
There were several Dou Zhe, six Battle Master, and two Da Dou Shi. The Snake People leading them was exceptionally tall, and his aura clearly overwhelmed the others.
Qin Yu estimated that this Snake People's cultivation level was around Two-Star Dou Ling.
It seems that the patrol route of these Snake People will definitely pass through our area.
Once they get close, you won't be able to hide.
Rather than waiting to be discovered and then passively responding, it's better to take the initiative and take care of two of them first.
His gaze locked onto the Snake People closest to him; judging from his aura, he was a Five-Star Da Dou Shi.
Qin Yu took a deep breath and waited quietly.
Seeing that the distance was almost there, Qin Yu instantly activated Mountain Qilin Leap, his body suddenly springing out like a spring compressed to its limit.
With a Qilin Fist, the Snake People died instantly.
The Snake People in the lead turned around, his vertical pupils sweeping over Qin Yu before his eyes widened instantly.
"... It's you!"
Judging from this reaction, his face has probably already spread throughout the Snake-People Tribe.
Qin Yu did not answer, but wiped the blood off his fist and charged at the remaining Snake People.
"Surround him!"
The Snake People Dou Ling roared and waved his hand. The remaining Snake People quickly scattered and approached Qin Yu in a semi-encircling formation. Several of the bolder ones had already pounced forward.
Qin Yu casually threw a few punches, finishing off his soldier duties.
But no sooner had they dealt with these few minions than the Snake People Dou Ling's attack followed.
With a thought, Qin Yu unleashed Earth-Attribute Battle Qi from his body, creating layers of defense around him.
Thousand-Ridge Earth Dragon Armor!
I haven't used this Dou Technique in a long time since I left Wutan City.
The earth elemental energy in the desert is abundant, and once the Thousand-Ridge Earth Dragon Armor was deployed, a full hundred layers of armor plates condensed around his body.
After reaching the Da Dou Shi realm, these armor plates had solidified into solid armor, layer upon layer, intertwined to protect vital points.
The Snake People Dou Ling punched the armor plates, causing all hundred layers of armor to tremble. However, the force, which was enough to severely injure Da Dou Shi, was weakened layer by layer, and when it reached Qin Yu, it was only a painless aftershock.
Qin Yu remained unmoved and retaliated with a powerful Qilin Fist.
The Snake People Dou Ling wasn't stupid either; he slammed his snake tail against the ground, and his body deflected Qin Yu's fist.
But this gave Qin Yu an opportunity to escape instantly and pounce on the Snake People on the periphery.
"Phew... no wonder Her Queen personally ordered the search."
Soon after, the Snake People Dou Ling looked at the corpses of his kin scattered all around him, his face turning extremely grim.
Because their patrol was located near the border of the two great empires, the tribal chief specifically appointed him to lead the team.
As a result, this human being, despite being constantly entangled by him, managed to kill all the others.
"I will make you... pay for their lives!"
The Snake People Dou Ling flicked his tongue, and his fighting Dou Qi surged, quickly condensing into a phantom snake-shaped shadow that coiled around him.
This is a unique technique of the Dou Ling realm: Dou Qi Materialization.
"Go!"
The Snake People Dou Ling pointed a finger, and the Snake Spirit transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards Qin Yu.
Qin Yu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead threw a punch directly. His fist was filled with Dou Qi and carried an extremely violent blue flame.
"That is..."
Upon catching a glimpse of the flame, the Snake People Dou Ling couldn't help but shiver, for reasons he himself didn't know.
But what happened next was even more unacceptable to him.
The Snake Spirit he had conjured was almost shattered by Qin Yu's punch!
That cyan flame seemed to be the nemesis of his Snake Spirit, burning wildly the moment it touched him.
Qin Yu gave him no chance to catch his breath, and immediately charged forward after defeating the Snake Spirit.
A man and a snake engaged in a fierce battle between the sand dunes, each impactful clash stirring up clouds of dust.
Perhaps due to his earlier defeat, coupled with being suppressed by the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Snake People became increasingly frustrated Dou Ling.
Later on, he even tried to use his own Dou Qi Armor to take Qin Yu's punch head-on, exchanging injuries with Qin Yu.
However, Qin Yu did not lose his temper. The difference in their cultivation levels was not significant to begin with, and the raging Green Lotus Core Flame was a natural nemesis for the Snake People -Snake-People Tribe constitution was cold and yin.
As long as we proceed steadily and surely, it will be the opponent who suffers defeat sooner or later.
As he expected, after exchanging dozens of blows, Qin Yu seized an opening and unleashed a Qilin Fist.
Before the fist even landed, the intense heat caused the Snake People Dou Ling's expression to change drastically. He hastily condensed both his Snake Spirit and Dou Qi Armor a double defense to block in front of him.
However, when this punch landed, the flames of the Green Lotus Core Flame directly burned the illusory figure formed from Dou Qi into nothingness.
The Snake Spirit collapsed, Snake People Dou Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, while the Dou Qi Armor around his body gradually crumbled.
Qin Yu closed in again and threw another punch.
The dull thud of ribs cracking and the sizzling sound of internal organs being burned by the high temperature rang out at the same time.
The Snake People Dou Ling lowered his head, looking at the charred hole in his chest. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word before falling backward into the yellow sand.
"Call..."
Qin Yu withdrew his hand, and after confirming that the entire Snake People patrol was dead, he didn't linger and quickly headed towards Stone Desert City.
