"Boss."
Seeing the Sinister Man die in an instant, the Mercenaries surrounding Die immediately panicked. Then, with a sweep of their eyes, they discovered the reason for the Sinister Man's death.
Everyone swallowed hard, their gazes unanimously turning toward the sky as they cried out in shock, "Q-Queen Medusa!"
The vast, boundless desert fell silent, and everyone's mind went blank with dizziness.
Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Clan had actually emerged from the depths of the desert.
High in the sky, moonlight poured down, illuminating a graceful figure below.
She was a beautiful woman wearing a crown and a crimson gown. Her exquisite, full figure was like a ripe peach, exuding a faint, seductive charm. Her long black hair draped casually over her fragrant shoulders, falling to her slender waist.
Beneath her gown, a section of purple Snake Tail was exposed.
She stood in the sky, crimson Dou Qi wings gathered behind her. The crimson longbow of condensed Dou Qi in her hand was gradually dissipating.
"Your Majesty!"
After Queen Medusa appeared, a large group of snake people emerged from the sand dunes behind them. Leading them was Mo Bas, one of the Eight Great Leaders.
As soon as this group of snake people approached, they immediately knelt, their respectful voices piercing the clouds.
Mo Bas looked at the surviving Mercenaries and waved his hand with a cold expression. "Kill them all!"
"Ah, no!"
"Help!"
In less than three breaths, they were all dead beside Die, their gushing blood staining the yellow sand red.
Frightened, Die fell to the ground, covering her red lips with one hand as she kept backing away.
Just as Mo Bas was about to order Die taken back.
Queen Medusa descended from the sky. Cold and proud, she said nothing as she swayed her waist and slowly approached Die.
Die's tail wriggled fearfully. Looking at Queen Medusa drawing ever closer, she said in a trembling voice, "Why are you trying to kill me? What did I do?"
"Kill you?"
Queen Medusa stopped, a trace of concern in her voice. "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
Queen Medusa walked closer and bent down, wanting to reach out and see what was wrong with her.
"D-Don't come over." Die waved her hands, trying to avoid her, while muttering, "Chen Mo, save me."
Queen Medusa frowned. "Hm?"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Just then.
Several piercing blasts shot over from afar, striking directly at Queen Medusa.
Queen Medusa hurriedly retreated to evade them.
The piercing projectiles grazed past Queen Medusa's body and plunged into the yellow sand.
Everyone's pupils contracted when they discovered that they were ice spikes emanating a chilling aura.
"Who is it? Show yourself!" Mo Bas shouted.
Queen Medusa raised her head, her enchanting eyes looking toward the distorted space. In the next instant, a blue figure appeared there.
The man wore a blue brocade robe. His face was cold and handsome, his hair slightly disheveled. A pair of icy wings lightly fluttered behind him, and he held an ice spear that radiated chill, its tip angled toward Die below.
"I'm taking her away!"
"A human Dou Emperor!" Mo Bas said in surprise.
Queen Medusa looked calmly at the man, her voice cold. "This Queen knows you, Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong! But what does this have to do with you?"
"Having accepted another's request, I must faithfully carry out their task."
Hai Bo Dong looked at Queen Medusa below, his voice growing firmer. "I'm taking her."
"How dare you speak to Her Majesty like that?" Mo Bas shouted coldly.
Hai Bo Dong ignored him.
"Then try it!"
A vast aura erupted from Queen Medusa's body. Crimson Dou Qi wings condensed behind her, and with a flap of them, she shot toward Hai Bo Dong.
Hai Bo Dong's expression remained calm. Raising a hand, countless imposing ice crystals appeared behind him. With a sweep of his arm, they densely blanketed Queen Medusa.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Queen Medusa dodged at high speed, red afterimages lingering in the air.
In the blink of an eye, Queen Medusa appeared before Hai Bo Dong. Dou Qi surged in her hands, condensing into two crimson blades in an instant as she slashed down at Hai Bo Dong.
Hai Bo Dong hurriedly blocked.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within a few breaths, the two had exchanged over a dozen moves.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Die planned to sneak away. But the moment she tried to slip off, Mo Bas spotted her.
"Chase!" Mo Bas waved his hand and led two snake people after her.
Inside the cave.
The Middle-Aged Man had clearly heard the commotion outside as well, but he could not concern himself with it now. Looking at Chen Mo, who had been sent flying by him again yet still had not died, he said coldly:
"You're quite tenacious, but it's about time this ended."
"Cough, cough."
Chen Mo coughed dryly and smiled. "It is time for it to end!"
He had discovered that, as he was now, he was still far from being a match for a Da Dou Shi.
Chen Mo activated the One-Star Dou Emperor Experience Card. For the time it took an incense stick to burn, he could possess the cultivation of a One-Star Dou Emperor.
"Die!" The Middle-Aged Man struck a palm toward Chen Mo's face.
Just then, a vast surge of energy flooded into Chen Mo's body.
Bang!
A figure was violently blasted away, smashing heavily into the cave wall. Cracks instantly spread across the rock wall, and in the next moment, the cave suddenly collapsed.
Yet just before the cave collapsed, a figure shot into the sky from the opening above.
Boom!
The massive commotion caused Queen Medusa and Hai Bo Dong, who were still battling, to turn toward it at the same time.
Looking at the bare-chested, clearly injured young man, the two said in surprise, "Another Dou Emperor!"
Chen Mo briefly marveled at Queen Medusa's beauty, then turned his gaze toward Die in the distance. His body flashed as he chased after her.
"Another one going after my little sister."
Thinking that this man had also come to seize her little sister, Queen Medusa's enchanting eyes filled with anger. She knocked Hai Bo Dong back with a single move and shouted coldly:
"How dare you!"
Then she sped toward Chen Mo.
Elsewhere.
Mo Bas and two snake people had surrounded Die.
Mo Bas said, "Do it. The elders have ordered the traitor executed."
One snake person said tremblingly, "But, Leader, Her Majesty ordered that she be taken alive."
"Hm?" Mo Bas glared at the snake person and said coldly, "There is only one Queen Medusa in the Snake-People Clan. She openly defied the clan rules and fled, so she must be executed!"
"But..." The snake person hesitated, still not daring to act.
"Useless trash. Move aside. I'll do it."
Mo Bas tightened his grip on his spear and thrust it toward Die.
"No!" In terror, Die raised her hands before herself and waved them wildly.
"Mo Bas, how dare you!" Seeing that Mo Bas actually dared disobey her order and attack Die, Queen Medusa immediately shouted.
But Mo Bas seemed not to hear her and did not stop.
Just then, a figure stepped in front of Die.
