Queen Medusa (5/5)
Nalan Chenfeng asked questions as he walked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
He had never asked Han Yue about Dou Technique, and Han Yue had never told him either.
"What secrets could a scroll of Dou Technique possibly hold? You didn't even ask me about it in detail."
Han Yue glanced at Nalan Chenfeng, a hint of a smile flashing in her icy eyes.
"That Dou Technique is called 'Flame Dragon Splitting Sky Slash,' Low Earth Tier. It was obtained by one of our Han Family ancestors in his early years and has always been kept in the Dou Technique Pavilion."
"Anyone in the Han Family with fire attribute is qualified to cultivate after reaching the Dou Wang rank."
"Flame Dragon Splitting Sky Slash ----"
Nalan Chenfeng murmured softly, his dark eyes gleaming slightly.
The name sounds impressive, and although it's only Low Earth Tier, its power must be considerable.
However, it seems he doesn't have any weapons right now, which is a problem.
After reaching the Dou Ling, one can transform Dou Qi objects. However, before reaching the Dou Zong, the strength of one's weapon will also have a certain boost to combat power.
Without a teacher, it's really difficult to get anything done; you have to figure things out on your own.
"Stop thinking about it, hurry up and go, don't keep my father waiting--"
Han Yue tugged at Nalan Chenfeng's sleeve, and the two continued walking towards the Dou Technique Pavilion.
In front of an old-fashioned pavilion.
"Uncle."
Nalan Chenfeng stepped forward and bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
"They've arrived."
Han Chi turned around, his gaze sweeping over Nalan Chenfeng, and nodded with a smile, "Come with me."
After saying this, Han Chi strode towards the entrance of the Dou Technique Pavilion, with Nalan Chenfeng and Han Yue following closely behind.
The Dou Technique Pavilion, third floor.
"The Han Family's background is indeed extraordinary."
Nalan Chenfeng looked around, gazing at the energy orb that shimmered with spatial power, and sighed inwardly.
The Central Plains Continent is a land of hidden talents, no wonder most powerful people don't stay in remote areas. The Han Family alone has a foundation that surpasses the two strongest forces in the Jia Ma Empire.
He could sense from these orbs of light that they contained cultivation techniques and Dou Technique no less than those of the Earth Tier.
This only shows that there is a huge difference in resources between different regions; the resources of the Central Plains Continent are incomparable to those of remote areas.
Han Chi walked to the innermost wooden frame, raised his hand and waved it, sending a Dou Qi into the energy shield.
Laugh!
The light shield cracked open, and Han Chi reached in and took out a crimson scroll, then turned and handed it to Nalan Chenfeng.
"This is the Earth Tier Dou Technique, Flame Dragon Splitting Sky Slash, collected by my Han Family. You may use it to cultivate, and return it to the Dou Technique Pavilion in a month."
Nalan Chenfeng took the scroll with both hands, and immediately felt a warm sensation coming from his palms.
The scroll is entirely crimson, with three faint flame patterns visible on its surface; holding it in your hand feels like holding a ball of flame.
Nalan Chenfeng nodded, gazing at the line of text on the scroll, a surge of joy welling up within him.
"Flame Dragon Splitting Sky Slash, Low Earth Tier --"
Northwest Continent.
The Snake-People Holy City.
--
The Temple is an ancient and mysterious city, built of unique sandstone from the desert. It stretches endlessly into the distance, located deep in the Tagor Desert, near the Jia Ma Empire.
This place is not only the royal city of many Snake-People Tribe, but also the place of faith for countless people of the Snake-People Tribe.
Meanwhile, outside the Sacred City, in the distant sky, two auras at the Dou Emperor level filled the heavens, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
"Your Majesty, I, White Fang, have come to propose marriage to you."
The Dou Emperor speaking was not human, but a gigantic serpent.
The giant serpent was entirely black, its body several tens of feet long, with layers upon layers of black scales as hard as black iron. Most astonishingly, it had eight black and purple interwoven wings on its sides.
On the giant serpent's head stood a dark, spiraling horn, its tip gleaming with a dazzling light.
Faint, mottled patterns appeared on its head, vaguely outlining the shape of a noble crown. Its triangular pupils, far from revealing any bestiality, were filled with an expression that was just like that of a human.
Sixth-Rank Magical Beast, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, the king among serpentine magical beasts. Although it is just a nominal title, it is enough to illustrate the power of this giant serpent.
"Roll!"
Opposite the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, the Dou Emperor who responded coldly was not a pure human either.
She was a woman dressed in a red brocade robe. Her body was delicate and full-figured, like a ripe peach, exuding an ultimate charm.
Beneath the red brocade robe, a purple snake tail, several tens of centimeters long, was revealed. With a slight sway of the tail, a wild and alluring charm was subtly released.
On this near-perfect body was a fair and alluring face, with her red lips slightly pursed, making her incredibly seductive.
Queen Medusa, chieftain of the Snake-People Tribe, is Peak Dou Emperor powerhouse with both a good reputation and a fearsome reputation in the surrounding empires.
"Queen Medusa, I, White Fang, am serious. We are both Snake Clan Dou Emperor, and any offspring we bear together will be of unparalleled nobility."
Despite Queen Medusa's cold rebuke, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor remained unmoved, his large, dark serpent eyes still filled with adoration.
Sixth-Rank Magical Beast, possessing human intelligence but unable to take human form, while Queen Medusa, also a snake, clearly holds a fatal attraction for snake-type magical beasts.
"Court death!"
Queen Medusa gave a cold shout, and the purple ribbon in her hand surged like a raging wave, stretching across the sky, and slammed heavily onto the massive body of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor.
Seeing this, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor didn't wait to be attacked. It suddenly flapped its eight wings, creating a gust of wind, and went to meet the purple ribbon.
The two surging Dou Qi energies collided in the sky, but the outcome was immediately clear after the first strike.
The purple streak was even more powerful, and in no time, it completely shattered the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor's defenses, crashing heavily onto its body.
Immediately afterwards, Queen Medusa conjured a red Dou Qi sword in her hand, and as she moved swiftly, several red streaks of light flashed across the sky, actually severing two of the wings of the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor.
The low- Dou Emperor, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, was clearly no match for Queen Medusa, Peak Dou Emperor.
Queen Medusa is one of the best among those at the Dou Emperor level, a fact widely acknowledged in the surrounding empires.
Mid- and low-star Dou Emperor simply do not have the ability to contend with it.
However, Queen Medusa did not kill him; she only injured the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor.
"I must advance to the Dou Zong level as soon as possible, otherwise why should I care about the Sky Serpent Mansion and the Snake-People Tribe's situation when killing this ugly thing?"
Above the sky, Queen Medusa's crimson wings flapped behind her, her narrow, pale purple eyes gleamed, and the thought in her heart grew ever stronger.
As long as we find the Heavenly Flames, and follow the secret methods of the Snake-People Tribe race to temper our bodies with Heavenly Flames, our bloodline might be able to evolve. Even if this method is fraught with peril, it is still better than stopping at the Peak Dou Emperor.
According to her previous intuition, there should be a Heavenly Flames beneath the Tagor Desert.
"Queen Medusa, have mercy!"
A hurried request rang out from afar, followed by a middle-aged man flying over and landing near the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, protecting it behind him.
"Take this and get out of the Snake-People Tribe!"
