"Be Xiao Xin, this Snake-People has reached the Seven-Star Dou Wang realm, which is beyond your current capabilities."
Just as Yue Mei reached for Xiao Yan's spear, Yao Lao's voice rang in their ears.
However, they did not act immediately.
Although the two are in a sorry state, they are not in any life-threatening danger, Yao Lao will not interfere too much with their choices.
Just like now, Xiao Yan planned to use a Martial Soul clone to cover Xiao Huohuo's departure, but Xiao Huohuo chose to raise the Heavy Xuan Ruler and face the Dou Wang directly.
" Seven-Star Dou Wang..."
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were shocked. With such strength, they probably wouldn't be a match for their opponent.
"Laugh!"
Yue Mei's left hand landed on the falling Heavy Xuan Ruler. A powerful force sent Xiao Huohuo flying backward again, and the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand, weakened by the force, stuck into the sand beside him.
Yue Mei's right palm, imbued with Dou Qi, gripped Xiao Yan's spear. She sensed a penetrating chill that almost pierced through her Dou Qi barrier and began to erode her body.
A glint flashed in Yue Mei Yue Mei's eyes. The strange flames and the pulsating Soul Ring on Xiao Yan's body filled her with astonishment.
She had never heard of such a bizarre attack method before.
"Crack! Boom!"
"A trivial skill!"
Yue Mei snorted coldly, and slammed her snake tail against the ground. A surge of purple Dou Qi exploded outwards from her, sweeping around like a storm!
The icy spear she held in her right hand shattered completely under her outburst.
The strength of Dou Wang expert was on full display; faced with absolute power, Xiao Yan's current attacks seemed utterly laughable.
Apart from Xiao Yan's Fifth Soul Skill, Cold Heart Lotus Explosion, and Xiao Huohuo's Earth Tier Dou Technique, Flame Splitting Wave Ruler, which caused slight damage to Yue Mei.
The rest of their attacks posed no threat to Yue Mei.
However, the two men's endless tricks and their bizarre attack methods made Yue Mei feel that something was amiss.
Realizing the strangeness of Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo, she stopped being arrogant. Taking advantage of the moment when she blasted the two away, she formed a strange hand seal in front of her chest. A surge of powerful purple Dou Qi erupted out and condensed into a huge, ferocious purple snake head phantom in front of her!
Its snake head and fangs were fully exposed, composed entirely of highly concentrated Dou Qi, emitting a nauseatingly sweet and pungent odor and terrifying fluctuations.
The illusory snake head let out a silent hiss and lunged forward, a wave of invisible energy enveloping both Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo.
"Buzz~"
At the critical moment, Yao Lao's Spiritual Soul Power emerged, resisting Yue Mei's attack on Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo's bodies.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were forced to retreat rapidly under Yue Mei's attack, but thanks to Yao Lao's protection, they were not seriously injured.
After Yue Mei unleashed this attack, she remained standing in place, the purple snake head phantom in front of her swirling around her body, and the purple Dou Qi aura surrounding her became increasingly solid.
Her cold gaze was fixed on the disheveled Xiao Yan and his companion. The water on her body had long since been evaporated by energy, and her purple scales reflected a cold luster in the sunlight.
Yue Mei's voice no longer carried any seductive charm, only a chilling killing intent and a hint of... curiosity?
"Your performances are becoming increasingly interesting to me. Especially yours..."
She looked at Xiao Yan, her eyes slightly narrowed, and said:
"The power you wield seems to have the shadow of Magical Beast... and there was that strange halo that flashed beneath your feet just now..."
Without waiting for their reply, Yue Mei's lips curled into a smile again, and she spoke coldly:
"By showing up here at this time and handing you over to Her Majesty the Queen, I refuse to believe you'll still be so stubborn."
As Yue Mei finished speaking, purple Dou Qi appeared in her hand, and a faint purple light emanated from the illusory snake head on her chest, before enveloping Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo.
"This must be some kind of restraint technique. She probably thinks that the sonic Dou Technique just now has rendered you powerless to resist."
The Yao Lao's voice rang in their ears once more.
If it weren't for his Dou Technique, Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo would probably have already fainted and become lambs to the slaughter. It's just a pity that Yao Lao was there...
But... bring it back to the Holy City?
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. Then, they instantly understood what the other was thinking, and a comical smile involuntarily appeared on their faces.
This is like... a pillow being delivered just when you're about to doze off!
They had lost their way due to the sandstorm and were worried about not being able to find the Snake-People Tribe's lair. Moreover, the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City must be heavily guarded, and it would be extremely dangerous for them to sneak into it.
But now, Yue Mei has actually offered to escort them there?
Although they were prisoners, with the presence of the Yao Lao, their confinement was unlikely to restrict them. On the contrary, they could take this opportunity to openly approach the Snake-People Holy City.
As for the danger... their target was the Green Lotus Core Flame in Queen Medusa's hands.
Furthermore, with Yao Lao as their biggest trump card, there's always room for maneuver or even escape.
In a flash, the two had reached a consensus through eye contact.
The purple Dou Qi transformed into two strange symbols, landing on Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo's chests. Immediately, the two felt streams of Dou Qi drilling into their bodies, sealing off all their meridians.
Xiao Huohuo immediately felt that his Dou Qi had been completely sealed, and he could no longer mobilize it. Despite being prepared, his face turned pale.
However, Xiao Yan's condition was much better. Although Xiao Huohuo felt her Soul Power was restricted after the seal entered her body, it was not unusable.
Moreover, he could sense that his Martial Soul was not restricted in the slightest.
Seeing that Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were both trapped by his Snake Spirit Lock.
Yue Mei gracefully slithered her snake tail and came before Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo. Sensing their noticeably weakened aura, she looked down at them.
She circled the two of them with great interest, lingering particularly near Xiao Yan for a moment, seemingly trying to sense his unique power fluctuations and recall the fleeting glimpse of his "halo" earlier.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
Several small sand snakes suddenly emerged from all around, coiling around Yue Mei and flicking their tongues. Before long, Xiao Yan and his companions saw a group of the Snake-People Tribe soldiers swimming over.
"Take them away and keep them under strict guard. No one is allowed to touch or harm them. Tomorrow morning, depart for the Holy City!"
Yue Mei's expression turned extremely stern, no longer displaying her previous alluring demeanor, and her tone became condescending.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were escorted away from the now-destroyed oasis by the Snake-People warriors.
Soon, Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were taken to the nearest Snake-People territory and placed in a prison cart.
The two, whose Dou Qi had been locked by Yue Mei, were seen as nothing more than trash by these Snake-People.
The Snake-People who passed by looked at the two with hatred and anger, but when they saw their wretched state of being imprisoned, their eyes showed a hint of relief.
"I never expected to enter the Snake-People Holy City in this way..."
Inside the prison cart, Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo whispered to each other. They glanced at the tent where Yue Mei had left and began to ponder how to find the Heavenly Flames after entering the Snake-People Holy City.
