You Dared Disrespect Your Queen-You Deserve to Die!

Just as Lu Man and Bai Ya were both looking disappointed.

Suddenly, Bai Ya's gaze drifted toward Queen Medusa nearby, and his eyes instantly grew entranced.

That curvaceous figure, that breathtakingly beautiful face-she was exactly the partner Bai Ya had always dreamed of.

"Hmph!"

Sensing Bai Ya's unabashed gaze, Queen Medusa let out a cold snort.

Rumble!

A terrifying aura erupted, and her red Dou Qi instantly whipped up an energy storm that swept through the surrounding space.

Terrifying killing intent filled the air!

That terrifying surge of Dou Qi made everyone present pale in shock.

Even Jia Xingtian, Lu Man, and Bai Ya, all three Peak Dou Emperor experts, looked shaken.

Although they had yet to exchange blows with Queen Medusa, the sheer force of her Dou Qi alone put them under pressure. This was not something an ordinary expert could achieve.

Simply put, she was strong!

In an instant, Queen Medusa planted that thought in both Lu Man's and Bai Ya's minds.

Beside them, Jia Xingtian had expected this, yet he still felt horrified-and somewhat puzzled.

He remembered that the last time he had fought Queen Medusa, her Dou Qi had not been red, but an utterly terrifying black energy imbued with devouring power.

Although Queen Medusa's aura was still incredibly powerful now, it fell short of that terrifying black Dou Qi from back then.

"This is... Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe!"

Lu Man's expression changed in an instant as she looked at Queen Medusa and spoke.

As Queen Medusa was one of the Jia Ma Empire's foremost experts, their Heavenly Snake Mansion naturally knew something about her.

Of course, the most important reason was Queen Medusa's identity as a member of the Snake-People Tribe.

Although their Heavenly Snake Mansion was a first-rate faction on the Northwest Continent, it also belonged to the snake-people lineage, though it included other races as well.

Ultimately, however, the snake-people held the dominant position.

Although they had long known that the Queen was powerful, they had never expected her strength to be so terrifying.

The power Queen Medusa radiated even seemed to faintly surpass the Peak Dou Emperor level, approaching the Dou Zong stage.

Then Lu Man turned toward Yue Mei beside her, surprise showing in her eyes. "You've taken a Transformation Pill?"

As she looked at Yue Mei, Lu Man was astonished.

As a snake-person from the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Lu Man was naturally very familiar with the aura of her own kind.

That was why she was so surprised by Yue Mei before her: she had actually assumed human form.

There were only two ways for snake-people to assume human form. The first was to break through to the Dou Zong level, which Yue Mei's Dou Wang strength fell far short of. That left only the second possibility: she had taken a seventh-tier Transformation Pill.

A seventh-tier pill!

Even in her Heavenly Snake Mansion, anyone who had not reached the Dou Emperor level could not obtain a Transformation Pill.

But how could the Snake-People Tribe in the Jia Ma Empire possess a pill of such a high tier?

At that moment, Bai Ya's gaze froze as well.

Queen Medusa's strength far exceeded his imagination.

Even if he revealed his true form as the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, he probably would not be a match for Queen Medusa.

"Haha! A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Bai Ya immediately laughed awkwardly.

Medusa's strength already surpassed his own, so Bai Ya naturally had no intention of courting death.

Yet the proud Queen Medusa had no intention of letting the matter rest. With a slight flick of her hand, a black Fangtian Painted Halberd slowly materialized in the air.

!!!

The instant he saw that Fangtian Painted Halberd, even Jia Xingtian's expression changed.

The shadow cast over him three years ago remained vivid in his mind even now!

"You dared disrespect your queen-you deserve to die!"

She slowly grasped the Fangtian Painted Halberd, then gave it a slight sweep, pointing it straight at the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor in the air.

The instant her words fell, red Dou Qi surged between heaven and earth, pouring relentlessly into the Fangtian Painted Halberd.

In an instant, both Lu Man's and Bai Ya's expressions changed.

Endless red Dou Qi surged between heaven and earth, drawn toward that strange weapon and devoured by it.

Within moments, the endless red Dou Qi began to condense. At the Fangtian Painted Halberd's tip, crimson energy gathered into a fist-sized sphere, still undergoing extreme compression.

The terrifying energy made even space begin to warp, as though it were about to shatter.

Seeing this, Queen Medusa moved her hand slightly.

Whoosh!

The sphere of red Dou Qi tore through the air toward Bai Ya at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Not good!

In an instant, Bai Ya's gaze turned grave. The terrifying aura around him surged, and his Peak Dou Emperor strength erupted in full force.

His figure, which had still been human a moment earlier, instantly began to change.

A colossal snake dozens of meters long, with eight wings growing from his back, appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Eight-Winged Guard!"

Watching the attack hurtle toward him, the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor called out with a grim expression.

The eight wings on his back spread wide, then folded around his front, shielding his entire body within them.

Boom!

In an instant, a deafening explosion rang out.

The immense energy blasted the air apart, turning it into white shock waves that swept in every direction.

Heaven, earth, and the space between them shook at that moment. The surrounding houses collapsed with thunderous crashes as the shock waves continued to spread.
