"In that case, why don't we each take a step back? Your Majesty, you leave Stone Desert City alone, and I won't attack your Snake-People Tribe. How does that sound?" Xiao Yan continued. "Of course, that's provided your Snake-People Tribe doesn't provoke me."
Everyone, including Princess Yao Ye, stared tensely at the two figures in the sky. They all knew that the negotiations between those two would decide whether Stone Desert City survived or perished!
"And if I refuse to back down?" Queen Medusa drew a deep breath. "Since you've laid everything out, I certainly won't let someone who could threaten the Snake-People Tribe at any moment go on living! I'd like to see whether you really have what it takes to escape from me!"
"Heh, then I suppose we can only keep fighting." Xiao Yan slowly extended his palm. A black flame rose above it, followed by a butterfly-like purple flame that circled over the black fire, creating a strangely bewitching sight.
If she truly insisted on continuing the fight, he would have no choice but to unleash the Demon Fury Fire Lotus. Queen Medusa's defensive technique was indeed formidable-even the Mountain Splitting Seal had failed to defeat her. An ordinary two-colored Fire Lotus probably wouldn't be enough either, so, to be safe, he could only use the more powerful Demon Fury Fire Lotus: its three-colored version.
He would have to use either Life Transformation Fire or the Bone Spirit Cold Flame Yao Lao had left in his ring. But whichever flame he used for the fusion, it would undoubtedly place an enormous burden on his body.
After all... he was still only an early-stage Dou Wang. By his original estimate, he would only be able to truly unleash the Three-Colored Fire Lotus once he reached Peak Dou Wang.
