"A Five-Star Dou Zong? I never imagined you were hiding so much strength. But before me, it still amounts to nothing."
The Snake God looked at Long Xiao, her expression still as calm as water.
"Is that so?"
Roar!
Dragon God Sacred Body, activate!
Dazzling golden light radiated from Long Xiao. An enormous golden dragon coiled around him, exuding overwhelming pressure. Its roar resounded across the sky, making heaven and earth tremble violently.
For an instant, the outline of Long Xiao's bones emerged. The Snake God saw that his bones were actually golden. It was truly unbelievable!
Long Xiao's aura kept climbing!!!
Six-Star Dou Zong!
Seven-Star Dou Zong!
One-Star Dou Zun!
Two-Star Dou Zun!
Long Xiao's aura actually soared from Five-Star Dou Zong to Three-Star Dou Zun!
Long Xiao stood where he was, his golden radiance as blinding as a sun, making it impossible to keep one's eyes open!
"Dragon God Seal!"
Terrifying energy gathered in Long Xiao's palm. A golden palm imprint descended from the sky, crashing down toward the Snake God!
The dragon's roar was deafening, and heaven and earth seemed to wail!!
Watching Long Xiao come at her, the Snake God curled her lips into a disdainful smile.
"A secret art?"
"You dare challenge me, junior? You truly don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth runs. Today, I'll show you just how vast the gulf between us is!"
The Snake God thrust out her right hand and swept it sharply through the air. A cloud of seven-colored mist appeared in her palm, winding around her fingers before turning into a rainbow beam that shot toward the enormous golden palm bearing down on her.
The rainbow pillar formed from that mist traced a seven-colored arc through the air. It moved so quickly that it struck the enormous golden palm in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
A tremendous, muffled explosion rang out. A mushroom cloud rose, blotting out the entire sky!
"Boom!"
The mushroom cloud burst apart, turning into waves of golden hurricanes that swept in every direction. Everything in their path was utterly destroyed, and yellow sand filled the sky!
"What tier is this fellow's Dou Technique? With such a vast gap in cultivation, he actually managed to block my attack!"
Watching the beam shatter, the Snake God betrayed a flicker of surprise deep in her eyes.
Hum!
Suddenly, a golden barrier appeared over the Snake-People Tribe, blocking the shock waves from their battle.
It was a formation the High Priest had laid down to prevent anyone from escaping, while also keeping Long Xiao from returning to help!
Long Xiao glanced at it. As long as he did not lose, the High Priest would not be able to harm Medusa, so he had no need to concern himself with it.
I'll deal with this madwoman first.
"Don't get distracted."
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Long Xiao. The Snake God had evaded his senses and slipped behind him without his noticing.
Long Xiao's expression changed. He hurriedly turned and slammed a fist at the Snake God behind him!
Bang!!!
But the Snake God caught his fist in a firm grip, holding it completely still. She stared coldly at Long Xiao, icy killing intent flashing in her eyes.
"Your Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills are powerful, but the gap in cultivation is simply too great."
"You're courting death!!"
Long Xiao roared in fury, golden light blazing all over him. Spiritual energy surged wildly from within his body into his hand, transforming it into a golden dragon claw. The golden energy radiating from the claw grew even denser, sending out streaks of golden brilliance.
The Snake God suddenly sensed something amiss. She hastily released his hand and darted backward!
"Brat, you've truly angered me. Whoever you are, whatever your background, you will die here today."
The Snake God's voice came through gritted teeth, her gaze venomous.
Just then, seven-colored radiance suddenly emerged from her body, and the sky grew utterly dim.
The surrounding Dou Qi formed a massive vortex, gathering above the Snake God's head!
Ripples spread through the surrounding space, and the desert began to collapse!
"This phenomenon... a Heavenly-Tier Dou Technique?!"
The terrifying vortex formed a rainbow pillar of light that blasted down toward Long Xiao.
Sensing danger, Long Xiao retreated with the speed of Shadow of the Startled Swan.
"Running? It's useless!"
The pillar of light had already locked onto him. Even spatial jumps would not let him escape.
The Snake God watched the direction Long Xiao fled in with venomous eyes, a savage smile forming on her lips.
She would never let this fellow off easily. He had actually ruined her plan. How dared he?!
"Fuck! This lunatic! You really think I'm afraid of you? You want to pit Dou Techniques against each other?"
"Dragon God Art! Heaven-and-Earth Annihilation!"
Long Xiao stopped, his hands frantically forming seals. The surrounding energy rushed madly toward him, forming a terrifying golden vortex even more condensed than the Snake God's earlier one, radiating dreadful fluctuations.
A rift opened in the heavens, and the phantom of an unimaginably huge golden dragon emerged. It roared, looking down upon the earth beneath it with an imposing air that lorded over all creation!
"Come on!"
Long Xiao swung his fist, and the golden dragon immediately hurtled down toward the rainbow pillar of light!!
The instant the two collided, all of heaven and earth shook. The ground heaved and the mountains trembled!
Terrifying waves of energy rampaged outward, flattening the entire landscape!! Enormous ravines appeared!
The people in the distance could only feel the scenery before them warping. Their vision blurred, and they could not make anything out at all.
Pfft!
Long Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body sent flying backward.
The Snake God was also driven back several thousand meters!
Her body grew even more insubstantial...
"Damn it! This fellow..."
A small bloody hole had been pierced through Long Xiao's chest. Bright red blood streamed from it without stopping, dripping down and staining the ground red!
"Long Xiao!"
Seeing Long Xiao injured, Medusa, Yue Mei, and the others all cried out in worry.
Long Xiao shook his head to indicate that he was fine, though his face had gone pale.
"That crazy bitch! How underhanded!"
At the very last moment, she had compressed the rainbow pillar of light into a single point, doubling the Dou Technique's attack power!
His divine ability had only neutralized two-thirds of its power!
The rest had pierced straight through his chest!
She was an old hag who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, after all. She truly was cunning.
Long Xiao immediately took out a large bottle of Eighth-Tier Pills and swallowed them. He also kept pouring various restorative spiritual liquids over himself, then activated his Dragon God Sacred Body to repair the injuries inside his chest.
Even so, he was still outmatched. This old hag was no easy opponent.
"Damn it, is this brat the child of a god? How does he have so many treasures!"
"Fuck, taking on a Half-Saint as a Five-Star Dou Zong? I've never seen anyone so outrageous in my entire life!"
Seeing Long Xiao healing himself, the Snake God immediately flew toward him, her eyes filled with killing intent!
"Golden Dragon Heaven-Burning Flame!"
A wall of fire instantly appeared before Long Xiao, barring the Snake God's advance.
The Snake God's expression changed. Long Xiao really was troublesome. This flame was terrifying, and if it burned her, her soul body would suffer badly.
The Snake God snorted coldly, and her body instantly vanished from where she stood.
"Huh? Where did she go?"
Long Xiao frowned. The Snake God had moved so quickly just now that he had not even sensed where she was!
The Snake God's soul must have been extraordinarily powerful while she was alive. Otherwise, she could not possibly have evaded his divine soul's perception.
"Extinction Immortal Eye!"
Long Xiao activated his eye technique and immediately saw where the Snake God was. But she was already charging toward him from the distance, her gaze utterly vicious.
Long Xiao was just about to act.
But in the next instant, an enormous seven-colored snake tail suddenly burst out from beneath the desert, whipping up a fierce gale as it slammed toward Long Xiao.
