Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Art

In the dense forest, Chen Mo walked side by side with Queen Medusa.

Chen Mo would occasionally bend down to gather herbs growing nearby. They had already ventured deep into the heart of this forest.

High-level Magic Beasts lived in the depths of the forest. Few people dared to venture inside, so precious herbs grew freely by the roadside, unpicked.

Of course, Magic Beasts ate them too.

However, these herbs were only second- to third-grade, while the Magic Beasts within were Tier 3, Tier 5, and even Tier 6 Magic Beasts. To them, these herbs were merely low-grade medicinal materials.

So they were simply left to grow.

Now, they all benefited Chen Mo.

"Your Majesty, since you have nothing to do anyway, help me pick some." Chen Mo pointed at a fiery red herb beside Queen Medusa.

"Fine."

Queen Medusa nodded.

Chen Mo froze. Just as he wondered why Queen Medusa was being so agreeable, she continued,

"You can kill that Tier 6 Dark Gold Magic Tiger later."

Chen Mo was stunned, then quickly forced a smile. "No, no, there's no need to trouble Your Majesty with these herbs. I'll do it. I'll do it."

"Your Majesty, are your shoulders sore? How about I give you a massage first?"

Queen Medusa's red lips curved slightly. "Sure."

Chen Mo: "..."

I was just being polite.

Chen Mo still began kneading her shoulders gently.

Queen Medusa's delicate body was bonelessly soft. Massaging her was an enjoyment in itself for Chen Mo.

Fortunately, business came first.

After Queen Medusa had enjoyed the service, she kicked Chen Mo away, afraid that he would take further liberties.

Chen Mo: So I really am just a tool. Tossed aside after I'm used.

Chen Mo followed after her.

The Dark Gold Magic Tiger was one of the overlords of this forest, a metal-attributed Magic Beast. Legend had it that it possessed a trace of the Divine Beast White Tiger's bloodline.

Of course, that was only a legend. No one knew whether it was true.

Chen Mo and Queen Medusa walked through the forest.

Queen Medusa disliked how Chen Mo kept dawdling. If it were her, she would have dealt with the Dark Gold Magic Tiger long ago.

Chen Mo argued that there were so many precious medicinal herbs in this forest. Wouldn't it be a waste not to pick them?

"Look, this is Spirit Snake Grass. It can be refined into a 3rd Grade Pill called the Spirit Snake Pill, which is very helpful for Snake-People's cultivation." Chen Mo plucked a snake-shaped herb and showed it to Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa paused. Her expression beneath the mask shifted slightly, because after reaching this area, she had noticed that most of the herbs Chen Mo picked were snake-shaped herbs, while she had impatiently urged him onward.

Ding! Favorability +1. Obtained 2 Favorability Coins. Critical hit triggered. Obtained Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Art.

"Troublesome." Medusa said coldly, yet she bent down to help Chen Mo pick the herbs.

When Chen Mo heard the words Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Art, he immediately extracted it. Once he understood it, his expression became utterly splendid.

The Azure Dragon Yin-Yang Art sounded incredibly impressive, but once Chen Mo understood it, it really was incredibly impressive.

This was an auxiliary Dual Cultivation secret art. After cultivating it, one could bed three thousand women in a night without depleting one's vital essence, draw yin without losing yang, reverse yang...

Good heavens, I'm a proper gentleman. Would I learn something like this?

Chen Mo quickly committed it to memory.

Just then.

"There's movement!"

Chen Mo's gaze suddenly sharpened. A savage grayish-brown Magic Beast shot out from a bush in the distance like an arrow.

"Dark Gold Magic Tiger."

It was a grayish-brown Magic Beast covered in layers of dark-golden demonic markings. Its enormous body opened a vicious maw, and its bloodstained fangs gleamed sharply.

"A Tier 3 Dark Gold Magic Tiger, not the Tiger King. Looks like we've entered its territory."

Queen Medusa tossed the Spirit Snake Grass she had picked to Chen Mo and spoke coolly, showing no intention of making a move.

"Understood. I'll handle it!"

Chen Mo summoned Tian Yuan.

The Dark Gold Magic Tiger was a particularly vicious Magic Beast. Its fur was like iron, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

"One Sword Separates the Worlds!" Chen Mo swung his sword, and the Tier 3 Dark Gold Magic Tiger was cleaved in half from head to tail. It did not even let out a cry before passing away peacefully.

Afraid that Queen Medusa would say he was dawdling again, Chen Mo simply used his ultimate move right away.

Chen Mo walked over and dug out the magic core with his sword.

"Such fine tiger hide, ruined just like that by you." Queen Medusa passed by Chen Mo and said coolly.

Chen Mo: "I..."

Chen Mo's mouth twitched. Rising to his feet, he was about to place the Dark Gold Magic Tiger's body into his Storage Ring—every part of it was valuable—when an intense energy fluctuation and a violent tiger roar suddenly exploded through the sky like muffled thunder.

Not long after the tiger roar sounded, a sharp eagle cry followed.

Chen Mo's expression changed slightly as he stared intently at the distant sky, the source of the violent energy.

With her perceptive gaze, Queen Medusa softly said, "Your luck is quite good. You'll get two Tier 6 Magic Beasts for free."

"Hm?"

The subtle dark purple of dusk gradually spread across the horizon, flowing into the brilliant sunset clouds in the west.

The dark mountains were like the mouth of a giant whale, unknowingly swallowing the setting sun.

Beneath this twilight, two enormous Magic Beasts faced each other in midair.

On the right was a Dark Gold Magic Tiger King over seven or eight meters long. Its fur shone with a metallic luster, making it one or two sizes larger than the one Chen Mo had killed earlier.

The four exposed fangs protruding from its massive jaws were especially eye-catching. At the sides of its huge tiger body were a pair of wings formed from dark-golden Dou Qi. As the wings flapped, a vast and imposing aura spread outward.

"Is that the king of the Dark Gold Magic Tigers?" Chen Mo murmured softly.

Opposite the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King was a giant eagle not much smaller than it. Its entire body was crimson red, lightning arcs curling around it. Its formidable aura was no weaker than the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King's.

"Azure Lightning Blood Eagle!"

Chen Mo cried out in surprise. No wonder Queen Medusa had said they would get two Tier 6 Magic Beasts for free. Their strength was similar; if they truly fought, wouldn't it be a free gain?

"The Blood Flame inside you should be this Azure Lightning Blood Eagle's beast flame, right?" Queen Medusa said.

Chen Mo nodded.

"You old feathered bastard, This Queen already said it was a misunderstanding, yet you keep provoking This Queen again and again. Do you really think This Queen is afraid of you?"

High in the sky, the enormous Dark Gold Magic Tiger King suddenly shouted in human speech.

"Heh. You ate my child. How can a mere misunderstanding settle that? Today, either you die or I perish."

The Azure Lightning Blood Eagle let out a cry and spat a stream of Blood Flame from its beak, burning toward the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King.

"Hmph, old feathered bastard, This Queen has disliked you for a long time. Since you seek death, This Queen will skin you alive today." The Dark Gold Magic Tiger King shouted, and a deep roar from its huge mouth echoed throughout the mountain range.

A great battle was about to begin.

"I didn't expect this Azure Lightning Blood Eagle to be female," Chen Mo muttered.

Queen Medusa said nothing, waiting for the two of them to injure each other.
