Feeling the sudden attack, Mo Yun's expression changed. With a cold snort, his body instinctively moved to defend, and he raised his arm to collide fiercely with his attacker!
Mighty D-Rank and Berserk D-Rank activated instantly!
"Bang!"
A muffled crash rang out as the two collided. A heavy shockwave exploded across the open ground, sending dust on the earth billowing outward like an airblast.
After that exchange, Mo Yun's body shuddered violently, and his feet scraped across the ground as he slid back two or three meters before stopping.
Meanwhile, his attacker also flipped twice through the air, shedding the force of the impact before crashing down onto the ground.
Mo Yun slowly raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping toward his attacker. The three-flower pattern had already surfaced within his green eyes.
The person who had attacked him was a powerfully built male snake-person with an exceptionally fierce appearance. His upper body was bare, and two enormous black pythons were tattooed on his arms, radiating a cold, violent aura.
Mo Yun recognized those black pythons. They were the emblem of the Mo Snake Tribe. The man before him was none other than the Mo Snake Tribe's leader, Mo Bas!
"Are you sick?" Anyone would be in a foul mood after being attacked out of nowhere. Mo Yun glared coldly at Mo Bas.
Hua She Er also came to her senses. Since she had a fairly good relationship with Mo Yun, she immediately stepped in to defend him. "Mo Bas, what do you mean by this? This is the Holy City, not your Mo Snake Tribe!"
"Haha, my hands were just itching for a fight, so I thought I'd test him. After all, the Great Elder told us to bring the treasures stored by our tribes, intending to prepare Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste for someone's use. We have to see whether that person is qualified, don't we? What do you all say?" Mo Bas laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned about his earlier attack.
As Mo Bas finished his rhetorical question, seven figures descended from the sky. Looking closely, they were seven snake-people dressed in different styles.
Their auras were powerful, far beyond those of ordinary snake-people. Several of them were even faintly stronger than Hua She Er.
Though he had never met them before, that did not stop Mo Yun from guessing the identities of these eight people—the leaders of the Snake-People Tribe's Eight Great Tribes.
Yin Shi, leader of the Yin Snake Tribe, said sinisterly, "I heard long ago that a human had joined our Snake-People Tribe. Seeing him today, he can actually withstand a strike from Mo Bas. He does have some ability."
Hua She Er stood in front of Mo Yun, facing Mo Bas and the others directly. "Enough! Mo Bas! Mo Yun has Snake-People Tribe blood in his veins. Her Majesty the Queen and the Four Great Elders have already accepted him into our Snake-People Tribe. Put away your petty schemes and don't direct your hostility toward humans at him."
A male snake-person covered in red snake patterns licked his tongue and said, "Hua She Er is certainly protective of this kid."
Yue Mei, the only female snake-person among the eight leaders and the leader of the Charm Snake Tribe, flashed to Hua She Er's side. Pressing her seductive red lips together, she said softly, "This young man is rather fair and handsome. Sister Hua She Er, I have no intention of targeting him. I couldn't bear to."
Mo Bas was clearly stronger than Hua She Er. He stepped forward with a laugh. "Hua She Er, since when did you become so protective? Kid, I heard the Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste is going to be used on you? I haven't even had the chance to enjoy that stuff once. What makes you worthy? If you're a man, don't hide behind a woman. And don't blame me for bullying you—if you can last three minutes against me, I'll obediently hand over the materials for the Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste. I'll even persuade them to give up theirs as well!"
Mo Bas had launched a sneak attack without holding back, so naturally Mo Yun was not about to be polite. "Fuck you. Whether I'm a man or not, go ask Medusa!"
Hua She Er: "?!"
Yue Mei murmured, "How dare this kid bring up Her Majesty the Queen? Mo Bas cares most about Her Majesty the Queen. Isn't he throwing himself onto the gun barrel..."
Though the other leaders said nothing, the way they looked at Mo Yun carried a trace of pity. Disrespecting Her Majesty the Queen meant he had truly offended Mo Bas. Given Mo Bas's temperament, this kid was probably in for a rough time today.
The faint smile on Mo Bas's face instantly vanished beneath dark clouds. "Kid, what did you say?"
"Didn't bring your ears?" Mo Yun slowly said, lightly clenching his fists as a hint of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes.
"Good! Good! If I don't teach you a lesson, I'll take your fucking surname!" Mo Bas roared in a low voice.
Hua She Er continued trying to persuade him. "Mo Bas, preparing the Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste for Mo Yun was the Four Great Elders' decision. Aren't you afraid the Four Great Elders will hold you accountable if you attack him?"
Mo Bas stared fixedly at Mo Yun, the hostility in his eyes unmistakable. "I won't kill him. I'm just teaching this kid a lesson! Bai Liang, Di Mo, help me hold Hua She Er back!"
"Tch!" Two male snake-people among the leaders immediately clicked their tongues. As leaders of the Snake-People Tribe themselves, they were clearly unhappy about Mo Bas ordering them around. Even so, the two stepped forward and blocked Hua She Er.
Leaving aside this kid's disrespect toward Medusa, if their materials were to be used to prepare Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste, he had to show some qualifications. No matter what the Four Great Elders had ordered, they were still somewhat unconvinced if he only had a sharp tongue.
"You two!" Hua She Er said angrily as she looked at the pair confronting her.
Bai Liang said lightly, "Hua She Er, with the two of us here, you can't stop Mo Bas. I advise you not to make a move. The Four Great Elders will naturally notice the fight here and can arrive in a few minutes. If this kid truly has ability, he can hold out until the Four Great Elders arrive. Then we'll willingly contribute our materials to prepare Eight Mysterious Heavenly Snake Paste for him!"
Though Hua She Er was anxious, she knew equally well that she could not break free from these two. She could only hope that Mo Yun would endure until the Four Great Elders arrived.
Although Absolute Entanglement was his trump card, Hua She Er did not believe Mo Yun could hold off Mo Bas for long. She herself had been testing his moves, which was why Absolute Entanglement had bound her. With Mo Bas's speed as an eight-star Dou Wang, dodging it would not be difficult. Moreover, Mo Bas was far stronger than she was, so it might not be able to restrain him completely.
The powerful muscles on Mo Bas's arms rippled, making the two pitch-black python tattoos seem to come alive as they released a fierce, soaring killing aura.
His Snake Tail curled up before lashing out violently, and Mo Bas shot toward Mo Yun.
After transplanting parts of magical beasts into his body, Mo Yun's physical strength had become comparable to that of a magical beast, surpassing the limits of humans long ago, aside from the increase in his cultivation realm.
Mighty D-Rank doubled his strength. Berserk D-Rank increased his overall condition by 10%. Snake-Python Boost 3/4: Combination Skill. Activation effect: strength increased by 80%.
Calculating it all, under these various boosts, Mo Yun's strength could surge by 3.96 times (Note: (1+1) X 1.1 X 1.8 = 3.96).
Strength 3.96 times greater than that of a human Dou Ling at the peak level could not last for too long, but it was enough to count as Mo Yun's peak state. Mo Yun happened to want to use this chance to experience the gap between himself and a Dou Wang expert...
What was more, Seven-Colored Scale Armor B-Rank also granted him 30% physical resistance.
Fighting above his level—what the hell was there to fear?
At worst, he would use Diamond Survival!
