The voice seemed to come from the netherworld, brimming with endless chill and murderous intent. In an instant, the entire space turned cold.
Yan Luotian's expression immediately became extremely grim. He vigilantly looked up at the sky but saw nothing.
He instinctively pushed the Dou Qi within him to its limit, muscles tensed, ready to face battle at any moment.
The ten members of the Snake-People Tribe, upon hearing this voice, trembled slightly with excitement.
Suddenly, the space not far in front of Yan Luotian shattered. First, a tiny black crack spread like a spiderweb.
Then, the crack expanded rapidly, as if an invisible giant hand was tearing at it. The entire space seemed to be completely ripped in half—split in two as though forcibly torn open by colossal hands, revealing a chaotic void.
A figure in a long red dress, appearing extremely cold and noble, slowly stepped out of the rift. Her eyes gently swept over Yan Luotian.
In her arms, she held a girl who currently wore a proud expression.
As Medusa's icy gaze swept over him, Yan Luotian instantly felt his soul tremble.
"You… who are you?" Yan Luotian asked, his body trembling. Although the woman in front of him was beautiful, the aura emanating from her was terrifying. Being able to tear space apart was not something just anyone could do.
"Me? Didn't you want to see me? Why are you still asking who I am?" Medusa said coldly.
"What? You are Queen Medusa?" Yan Luotian nearly wet himself. Didn't they say she was only at the peak of Dou Huang? Who the hell spread false information? Can a peak Dou Huang tear space? I, a two-star Dou Zong, can't even use spatial power.
"Cai Lin big sister, he's so ugly and so weak. He doesn't deserve to see you. Let's kill him." Zi Yan wrinkled her small nose, her childish voice dripping with disdain.
"Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding. I came this time to discuss matters with you. Our Luoyan Empire is willing to give you a place as a habitat."
Yan Luotian's mind raced, and he hastily offered land to save his life.
"You wanted them to hand me over, but now that I'm here, you're not happy."
Medusa glanced at him and continued, "I don't even care for your pathetic place. Since you've seen me, the price you'll pay is your life."
Upon hearing this, Yan Luotian's hair stood on end. His hands trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He hurriedly circulated his Dou Qi and shot toward the distant horizon.
Medusa unhurriedly extended her free hand and clenched it in the void. "Spatial Annihilation!"
The space around Yan Luotian began to twist, and the previously stable spatial barrier started to show countless fine cracks.
The entire space seemed to be pulled by countless fine threads, mercilessly crushing everything within it.
Yan Luotian tried to resist with all his might, but it was futile. The spatial power instantly sliced through his body, and under this crushing force, he was blasted into a bloody mist.
Zi Yan waved her hand, and a storage ring passed through space, landing in her hand. "This is good stuff. Now I can exchange things with that big bad guy Xiao Tian."
As for whether she was truly exchanging things or simply contributing to her big family, only Zi Yan herself knew.
The storage ring that fell into Zi Yan's hand was indeed Yan Luotian's. Medusa said nothing, only giving her a doting smile.
As for how Zi Yan ended up in her arms from Xiao Tian's hands, it was, of course, because Medusa appeared at Zi Yan's call. Then, to prevent Zi Yan from being further harmed by Xiao Tian, she snatched her away.
Later, she sensed the Snake-People Tribe burning their altars and souls for help, and she directly tore through space to come here.
"Your Majesty!"
The eight great leaders of the Snake-People Tribe knelt on one knee before Medusa, respectfully calling out. Even the two elders bowed their heads slightly. Such was the status of Queen Medusa within the Snake-People Tribe.
However, at this moment, several of them looked at Zi Yan in Medusa's arms with a hint of doubt, secretly wondering who this little girl was.
"Put away your thoughts. You should all go back and heal your injuries first."
Medusa naturally noticed their gazes and reprimanded them.
They instantly cut off their thoughts, all lowering their heads.
"Should we call that big bad guy Xiao Tian down?" Zi Yan took out a pill, popped it into her mouth, and began to chew.
"Hmm? Why are you suddenly calling him a big bad guy? Didn't you say he was a good person before?" Medusa asked, puzzled by Zi Yan's change of address for Xiao Tian.
Zi Yan's face suddenly turned red, as if remembering something unpleasant. "He bullied me, that's why I'm calling him that."
"How did he bully you?"
Hearing this, Zi Yan seemed to recall something, and her face grew even redder. How could she say it out loud? Besides, she herself had become so strange at that time, but thinking back, she seemed to quite like that feeling.
"No, don't ask anymore. Anyway, he bullied me. Hmph hmph."
Medusa's eyes instantly became very dangerous, and she had already decided to teach Xiao Tian a good lesson.
She looked up at the sky above. "Aren't you two coming down yet?"
The members of the Snake-People Tribe looked at the sky in confusion. In their perception, there was no one up there.
Two figures, one male and one female, instantly appeared before Medusa. The man was handsome and refined, dressed in white robes, like an exiled immortal fallen to the mortal world.
The woman appeared to be about 1.65 meters tall, with silver hair and a doll-like small face. She wore a silver-white dress that accentuated her extremely fiery figure—truly a loli with a bombshell body.
However, at this moment, her face was flushed. Just now, her master said he would help her measure if she had grown, even though she had just measured a few days ago. Of course, she would not refuse her master's request.
Medusa gave him an almost imperceptible glare.
Xiao Tian smiled faintly and said softly to Medusa, "You handle your Snake-People Tribe's matters first. I'll go over there first."
Medusa nodded, placed the already restless Zi Yan on the ground, and helped Xiao Tian straighten his clothes. "Okay, I'll come find you after I've dealt with things."
The ten members of the Snake-People Tribe stared wide-eyed at Medusa's demeanor. One of the snake-people, who had two black giant python tattoos on his arms, even had his eyes almost red.
Another female snake-person was also surprised. She had long recognized that the man in front of her was the one who had captured her previously.
Xiao Tian noticed Mo Ba Si's hostility. His eyes swept over them slightly, and the ten people instantly felt as if they were being stared at by something terrifying. They were immediately pressed firmly to the ground.
The plan between Medusa and him was for Xiao Tian to show his face briefly, and then after returning, Medusa would deal with the Snake-People Tribe's relocation.
"Okay, Hui Ying, Zi Yan, let's go."
Xiao Tian withdrew his aura and said to the two lolis.
"Let's go, let's go! I'm definitely going to fight ten!" Zi Yan shouted excitedly.
Hui Ying instantly transformed back into her Heavenly Thunder Dragon true form. Xiao Tian and Zi Yan leaped onto her back. The Heavenly Thunder Dragon's spear-wings instantly burst forth with red gas, kicking up a gust of wind and sand, and vanished before Medusa.
Mo Ba Si gasped for fresh air; he had felt like he was going to die just now.
"Clan Leader, he is…?" The Fourth Elder looked at Medusa and asked.
