Continuous Fierce Battle

Hearing this, Qin Yu, who was drinking water, didn't waste a drop of his saliva and sprayed it straight at Yun Yun's face.

Yun Yun reacted quickly, tilting her head to the side, the water droplets brushing past her hair, avoiding getting her face covered in water.

She turned her head, her brows slightly furrowed, her cool eyes fixed on Qin Yu, her gaze seeming to say:

What do you mean?

"Ahem... It's a misunderstanding, purely accidental."

Qin Yu wiped his mouth and waved his hands repeatedly.

"I just didn't expect that I would be pre-booked by a company recruiting on campus."

"Uh, what are... companies that recruit on campus?"

"... Simply put, I never expected to be noticed by your Misty Cloud Sect."

Yun Yun frowned, somewhat puzzled:

"What's so surprising about that? With your strength, you should at least be a high-level Dou Ling after graduating from the Jia Nan Academy, right?"

"Plus, you're so young, isn't it perfectly normal for the Misty Cloud Sect to want to recruit you?"

Just as Qin Yu was about to explain, Yun Yun suddenly stood up, her gaze fixed on a certain direction on the edge of the desert, and the leisurely expression on her face vanished in an instant.

"A powerful figure is approaching; they're up to no good. You'd better leave quickly."

"... She must have come for me."

Yun Yun turned her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Qin Yu didn't explain further, but simply slowly raised his right hand.

With a thought, a wisp of bluish-white flame rose from his palm and flickered twice.

In the darkness of night, the light of this Heavenly Flames was dazzling, and the surrounding air became unbearably hot the moment the Green Lotus Core Flame appeared.

Yun Yun's gaze fell on the flame, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

"Heavenly Flames?"

"The Snake-People Tribe's recent unusual movements are all in search of it."

Qin Yu extinguished the flames and told the whole story, since there was no point in hiding it anymore:

"Queen Medusa wanted this Green Lotus Core Flame, but I beat her to it. She must be in a hurry these days."

"... You're quite the troublemaker."

Yun Yun was silent for a moment before uttering this sentence.

The large-scale mobilization of the various Snake-People Tribe in the desert was actually due to this young man.

An Eight-Star Da Dou Shi dared to snatch Heavenly Flames from Medusa; putting everything else aside, he's incredibly bold.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, I would have taken you and run away first."

Now that things have come to this, Yun Yun can only shake her head helplessly.

"Sect Master Yun didn't tell me the truth either."

Qin Yu retorted directly, leaving Yun Yun speechless for a moment.

"Now is not the time to talk about this; it's too late."

She abruptly changed the subject, then grabbed Qin Yu's arm, unfurling her Battle Qi Wings behind him.

"She's already locked onto this area; even if you run now, you can't outrun her."

Before she finished speaking, she had already lifted Qin Yu into the air.

Since Medusa came from the edge of the desert, Yun Yun could only lead Qin Yu further into the desert at this moment.

This was the first time Qin Yu had been carried by Dou Emperor. The wind whistled in his ears, and the sand dunes beneath his feet were rapidly receding.

But he quickly calmed down and offered a reminder:

"Sect Master Yun, the person who has come is Queen Medusa, Peak Dou Emperor. If you take me with you, we will be caught up in no time."

Yun Yun didn't slow down, only leaving out one sentence:

"If we get caught, I'll hold them off for a while, but you should leave as soon as possible."

Qin Yu frowned slightly:

And what about you?

"I came with Elder Jia. If I fight Medusa, he will definitely notice it soon."

Yun Yun answered while accelerating her flight:

"But you mustn't let her take away the Heavenly Flames in your hands."

"The Snake-People Tribe are naturally cold-blooded, yet Medusa seeks this Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames, most likely hoping to use its power to break through to the Dou Zong. If she becomes Dou Zong, it will benefit no one."

Even so, Yun Yun still harbored a little selfish motive.

That is to use today's events to make Qin Yu owe her a favor, so that even if Qin Yu does not join the Misty Cloud Sect in the future, it will still be considered a good relationship.

"Then... thank you for saving me Sect Master Yun?"

"You little rascal, you still have the mind to be sarcastic at a time like this!"

Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him helplessly. This young man really had a big heart. Being chased by a Peak Dou Emperor, he still had the mind to joke with her.

Qin Yu could roughly guess that Yun Yun's help to him was mostly due to personal relationships and considerations.

"Sect Master Yun, fly northeast. That's where the Green Lotus Core Flame is born."

Yun Yun glanced at him sideways:

What are you going there for?

"I have already subdued the Green Lotus Core Flame. There, I can take advantage of the environment and also help Sect Master Yun share some of the pressure."

Yun Yun was silent for a moment, then turned around and flew towards the depths of the desert.

She didn't know why she trusted this young man, but perhaps if she went deeper into the desert, she could encounter Jia Xing Tian again.

The chilling aura behind him was drawing ever closer, and Qin Yu could even feel Medusa's cold gaze fixed on him.

If looks could kill, I'd probably be torn to pieces by now.

Yun Yun also noticed Medusa's approach and immediately activated her Dou Qi to the fullest extent, increasing her speed even further.

Qin Yu glanced sideways at the purple afterimage behind him, then turned back and whispered to Yun Yun:

"Sect Master Yun, why don't you release me first?"

Yun Yun was stunned for a moment, then accelerated to the maximum speed, thinking that Qin Yu was about to give up hope.

"... What nonsense are you talking about? Even if I get caught, I can still hold my own against her for a while."

Wind-Attribute Battle Qi does indeed have a significant advantage in terms of speed; even Medusa couldn't catch up with Yun Yun at her maximum speed.

"That's not what I meant. I meant... I can actually fly."

After saying that, Qin Yu unfolded his Purple Cloud Wings. Yun Yun glanced at him sideways and was stunned for a moment.

She had been holding Qin Yu and flying for a while, wondering why the young man showed no signs of being unaccustomed to it, but it turned out he could fly on his own.

Why didn't you say so sooner?!

"You didn't ask."

These words were so self-evident that they left Yun Yun speechless.

"Besides, how could I possibly keep up with you at my speed?"

Now, Yun Yun was at a loss for what to do.

"Sect Master Yun, we're almost there. Could you please stall for a bit and lead her towards the Green Lotus Core Flame?"

Looking at Qin Yu's serious expression, Yun Yun finally uttered two words after a long while:

"... Go."

With a sudden flap of his Battle Qi Wings, Qin Yu released Yun Yun's hand and sped towards the direction of the Earth Core Cavern.

Yun Yun stopped, and after a few breaths, Queen Medusa arrived as expected.

"Yun Yun, are you sure you want to get involved in this?"

"If I remember correctly, Her Majesty just barged into the territory of the Jia Ma Empire. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Passed?"

Medusa chuckled as if she had heard something amusing:

"It's none of your business what I do. Get out of my way."

Yun Yun did not move her feet; the long sword in her hand was already drawn, pointing directly at Medusa.

"Ha, commendable courage."

Medusa's smile faded slightly, and the languid look on her face was gradually replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"Then let me see just how capable that old man Yun Shan really is with his disciples!"
