Yun Yun said coldly, "Does Her Majesty the Queen truly think we're that easy to fool? As it happens, I once read something about the Snake People Tribe's queen in an ancient text. It said that when the Snake-People Queen stepped into the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, by using the Snake People Tribe's unique secret method, she could not only fully transform into a human body, but also advance to become a Dou Zong. And the thing required for this secret method is Heavenly Flames. I imagine the reason you don't want to hand over the Heavenly Flames is because you want to use them to evolve."

When Medusa heard this, she looked at Yun Yun in some surprise and laughed softly. "I didn't expect you to know such things. That really is unexpected."

"Not only do I know that you need to use Heavenly Flames to evolve, I also know that right now, you are only Medusa's avatar. I assume the real Queen Medusa is somewhere preparing to evolve." Yun Yun lifted her delicate chin, the corners of her mouth rising slightly, revealing her pride.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Yun's figure flashed. In the blink of an eye, she was already behind Medusa, a fair palm striking heavily toward Medusa's back. With a bang, Queen Medusa's figure turned into a wisp of purple smoke that slowly rose into the air.

Yue Mei and Mo Ba Si were furious at the sight. Dou Qi surged all over their bodies as they attacked Yun Yun together. Yun Yun swung her longsword, and a wind blade several zhang long cleaved straight toward the two of them. The two tilted their bodies aside to dodge the wind blade, but instead of retreating, they advanced. Their hands formed seals, condensing two giant Dou Qi snakes. They bit the tips of their tongues, spraying poisonous blood into the giant snakes, which opened their bloody maws and lunged to tear into Yun Yun.

"Mo Ba Si, what kind of skill is it to bully someone with numbers? Let me properly test you." Yan Shi let out a long roar, like the bellow of a lion. Golden Dou Qi covered his entire body, and his figure moved as swiftly as thunder and lightning, blocking the Dou Qi giant snakes. He shouted, "Lion Mountain Split!" His fists blasted toward the giant snakes, and two golden male lions instantly appeared in the void, pouncing at the two giant snakes. The lions and giant snakes tangled together, and finally, with a thunderous bang, they shattered at the same time.

"Attack," Hua She Er, the captain of the guards, hurriedly ordered. Their opponent was a Dou Emperor. With only Yue Mei and Mo Ba Si's Dou Wang cultivation, they simply could not handle her. The snake-people soldiers, already lined up and ready, hurled their long spears in unison at Jia Lie Jun's group. Spears filled the sky, piercing through the air as they whistled toward everyone. Yun Yun hurriedly stood in front of Jia Lie Jun, her hands rapidly forming seals. A Dou Qi Wind Shield several zhang thick appeared before the two of them, while the longsword in her hand danced swiftly, slashing fiercely at the spears that blotted the sky.

"Everyone, attack together." Hua She Er gave a delicate shout to the leaders of several Snake-People Tribes. As soon as her words fell, her Dou Qi wings flapped rapidly, and she attacked Gu He as fast as lightning. Gu He gave a light shout, and blue flames swiftly spread across his entire body. The longsword in Hua She Er's hand stabbed at Gu He from an extremely tricky angle, forcing him to retreat again and again. Although Gu He was a Dou Wang, his cultivation was heavily inflated, almost entirely piled up with medicinal pills. How could he be a match for an opponent like Hua She Er, who had fought her way through real blades and spears?

"Stay inside this wind shield. Don't run around." After giving Jia Lie Jun this instruction, Yun Yun rushed toward Hua She Er. "I'll deal with her. You go take the Heavenly Flames," Yun Yun said without looking back as she stopped Hua She Er.

Gu He gasped for breath in great mouthfuls, his back already soaked with cold sweat. He nodded, then flew toward Medusa Temple. Seeing this, the snake-people guards immediately gathered together and shouted in unison, "Combined Attack Skill: Snake Fall!" The snake-people guards formed seals at the same time, their movements neat and uniform, incredibly practiced, without the slightest mistake. One glance was enough to tell that this Snake-People Guard had trained for a long time to reach such a level.

As the snake-people guards formed seals, the Dou Qi in the air rapidly gathered together. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant three-headed snake. The giant snake's body was incomparably enormous, and Gu He looked tiny before it. The three-headed giant snake twisted its body, baring fangs and brandishing claws as it blocked Gu He's path.

"This combined Dou Technique of the Snake People Tribe really is wondrous. These snake-people guards are only at the Da Dou Shi level, yet with a combined attack skill, they can actually contend with a Dou Wang," Jia Lie Jun sighed inwardly. Seeing battle break out all around him, Jia Lie Jun thought, It's time for me to act too.

With a thought, there was a soft peng, and purple wings unfurled. Jia Lie Jun found a place where the defenses were relatively weak and charged in. Purple fire flashed constantly, accompanied by miserable screams. Fortunately, the main force of the Snake People Tribe had been tied down by Gu He's group, and besides, he was only a little Dou Shi, so the Snake People Tribe did not pay too much attention to him. However, what puzzled Jia Lie Jun somewhat was that the several elders of the Snake People Tribe had not shown themselves. He assumed that unless the Snake People Tribe reached a moment of life-or-death crisis, the great elders of the Snake People Tribe would not act lightly.

The purple fire in his hands compressed continuously. With a bang, like a clap of thunder exploding, dust filled the sky. By the time the dust dispersed, Jia Lie Jun had already vanished without a trace.

Inside the great hall, Jia Lie Jun sprinted toward the depths of Medusa Temple. In this Medusa Temple, he did not dare rashly release his Spiritual Power to probe the situation inside the hall. The Snake People Tribe had experts as numerous as clouds and an extremely deep foundation. Even after warring with the Jia Ma Empire for several years, they had only been slightly at a disadvantage.

Carefully pushing open the doors, he entered a great hall. Inside the hall was actually a deep pool, and the water was filled with an aura of death. With a thought, Dou Qi slowly spread across Jia Lie Jun's entire body, transforming into a Dou Qi Gauze. Immediately afterward, his Spiritual Power condensed into a Spiritual Power Barrier, and finally, purple fire changed into Purple Fire Armor. He plunged headfirst into the water. Instantly, dense swarms of poisonous snakes surrounded him and attacked, making Jia Lie Jun's scalp go numb. In his previous life, Jia Lie Jun had feared these soft-bodied creatures the most. No, in the future, I'll have to make Medusa train with me properly and strive to overcome this fear. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Jia Lie Jun's mouth. Who knew what kind of training he meant?

These poisonous snakes were not strong. Jia Lie Jun threw out a few fireballs and scattered them. After climbing ashore, Jia Lie Jun let out a long breath, then carefully walked forward, not daring to make the slightest sound. Even his breathing was light.

After leaving the great hall, a small garden came into view, surrounded on all sides by walls dozens of meters high. Jia Lie Jun lay flat on the grass and crawled forward on his stomach. After crawling for several minutes, he gently parted the messy branches and leaves and looked out. He saw Queen Medusa propping her chin with one hand, sitting lazily on a stone chair. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the flame atop a stone, while her purple snake tail swayed constantly, giving off an unusual allure.

The moment he saw the green flame, Jia Lie Jun grew so excited that his face flushed red. His eyes fixed firmly on the flame, and his pupils were filled with burning desire. Right now, even the attraction of Queen Medusa's fairy-like beauty could not compare to the flame's attraction to him.

Jia Lie Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart and forcing himself to calm down. At the moment, he could not do anything. He could only settle his mind and wait slowly.
