"I told you to come at me together. Who do you think you are?"
Watching the axe cleave toward him, Long Xiao smiled disdainfully, then raised a finger. A beam of golden light shot out and struck the giant axe squarely on its blade.
Bang!
The giant axe in Mo Bass's hands instantly shattered, its fragments falling to the ground.
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"That's just too brutal! Is he really human?"
Everyone was stunned, staring at Long Xiao in disbelief.
He had destroyed a Dou Wang's weapon outright!
And with a single finger?!
Long Xiao glanced at them. "Now, do you still think it's laughable for me to take on all seven of you alone?"
"Judging by the fluctuations coming from him, this fellow is at least a Dou Wang, possibly even a Peak Dou Wang. Let's attack together!"
On the platform, an elderly-looking Snake-People commander spoke after observing that strike.
A Dou Wang?
A Peak Dou Wang this young?
Then had all their years of cultivation gone to the dogs?
Both Mo Bass and the other six Snake-People commanders looked grim.
Still, they did not regret choosing to attack together. Instead, they gritted their teeth and glared at Long Xiao with eyes wide in fury.
This was humiliation!
"Even a Peak Dou Wang can't possibly match us. Kill!"
All seven attacked at once, charging toward Long Xiao.
Long Xiao's figure flickered. The instant they struck, he dodged away, simultaneously clenching his right fist and driving it toward one of the Snake-People commanders.
Thud!
With a dull impact, the commander was sent flying and slammed into the edge of the combat platform. He landed in a filthy, disheveled heap, unable even to get up.
"Boy, you fell for it! Earthcore Snake Vine Technique!"
The elderly commander roared as snake vines shot out of the ground and wound around Long Xiao's legs.
The snake vines also spewed poison, but the moment it touched Long Xiao's body, it dispersed into wisps of smoke. Long Xiao remained completely unharmed.
The other five Snake-People commanders' expressions changed at the sight.
The elderly Snake-People commander exclaimed in shock, "This is bad! This fellow is no ordinary powerhouse. Even my venom can't corrode his skin!"
The five others rushed toward Long Xiao while he was trapped.
They moved incredibly fast, reaching Long Xiao in the blink of an eye. Five terrifying surges of Dou Qi erupted, bearing down on him from every direction.
Facing their attacks, Long Xiao showed no concern at all. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
"Body of Nothingness!"
Long Xiao's body turned transparent, dissolving into nothingness!
"This is bad! What Dou Technique is that?"
The five attacks instantly collided with one another, triggering a violent explosion. Terrifying ripples of energy spread outward, whipping up a gale.
The gale swept dust off the ground, blotting out the sky and sun.
All five coughed up blood from the backlash of their own attacks and staggered backward, nearly flying over the edge of the arena.
Indeed, they had failed to hit Long Xiao.
"What happened? What Dou Technique did he use to make his physical body disappear?"
"We underestimated him! He truly is a heaven-blessed genius."
The elderly Snake-People commander shook his head. He already regretted it. At his age, why had he gotten mixed up in this?
Medusa's heart tightened at Long Xiao's display as well. She could sense that he had indeed suppressed his cultivation to Dou Wang, so why was he still so powerful?
"This fellow may be young, but he certainly doesn't falter in battle." Medusa leaned against her throne, her gaze brimming with interest.
Yue Mei's gaze toward Long Xiao was also filled with shock and admiration. Sadly, he did not belong to her, nor was she worthy of him.
"I don't want to hurt you. It's time to end this."
Long Xiao's body materialized again.
The divine abilities and secret arts he practiced were far more advanced than those of this world. The spiritual sea within him was also vast, making it very difficult for him to run out of spiritual energy.
Thus, even if he were only a Dou Ling, his physical body and endless supply of spiritual energy would let him handle these people with ease.
Boom!
Long Xiao stamped on the ground. A terrifying wave of air instantly spread from beneath his foot, sweeping across the entire combat square like a hurricane.
"This is bad! Defend yourselves, quickly! This fellow is far beyond anyone we can contend with!"
Sensing that aura, the severely injured commanders hurriedly tried to defend themselves.
Yet they still could not withstand it. They all spat blood, their faces deathly pale, as their bodies were hurled away and slammed down outside the combat square, gouging out a huge crater.
"Gasp... The seven commanders actually lost?!"
Everyone involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
They had never imagined that a human Dou Wang could be so powerful!
"How could this happen?"
"Our eyes must be playing tricks on us. They must be."
Everyone shook their heads, utterly unable to believe this was real.
"We concede..."
The elderly Snake-People commander struggled out of the crater and forced out those few words, his eyes filled with profound terror.
"That's impossible! I don't believe it!"
Mo Bass could not believe it. He pounded the ground and roared loudly.
They were all among the strongest in the Snake-People Tribe, yet they had now lost to a human of the same rank. He simply could not accept it.
Long Xiao turned to look at the gathered Snake-People.
"Does anyone still have any objections? If you do, feel free to come up." Long Xiao stared at them coldly as he spoke.
At Long Xiao's words, all the Snake-People trembled, horror spreading across their faces.
They acknowledged Long Xiao's strength, but seeing the queen they adored conquered by a human brat naturally left them bitterly unwilling to accept it.
At that moment, Medusa also rose and looked down at the crowd, speaking calmly. "Since no one else wishes to challenge him, I hereby declare that Long Xiao..."
"Wait! I'll challenge him!"
Suddenly, a rough voice interrupted Medusa, and everyone turned to look.
What brave soul still dared to step forward? Had he not seen all seven commanders defeated?
Medusa frowned as well. Who dared show such disrespect?
A brawny Snake-People man stepped out. His hair hung to his shoulders, and he wore black armor. Bulging muscles covered his burly frame, and a potent aura radiated from him.
His eyes brimmed with brutality and bloodlust. A cold sneer hung on his lips as he walked toward Long Xiao, step by step.
