Chapter 122: Activation of Soul Technique!

"Kill!"

Hai Bo Dong waved his Ice Halberd while driving Five Ice Dragons, confronting three 9-Star Dou Kings alone.

"This old guy, he's so proficient in mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, not at all like a beginner Dou Emperor!"

Normally, three 9-Star Dou Kings would be enough to rival a 2-Star Dou Emperor, but Hai Bo Dong, at his peak, was a 5-Star Dou Emperor. He was just sealed for too long, and his Dou Qi couldn't recover to its peak state. However, his experience in mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth was extremely skillful. He was overpowering the three Dou Kings in front of him!

Lu Man stood on top of the wooden giant's head, holding a green Dou Qi Whip, attacking the opponent's 5-Star Dou Emperor.

"Whoa!"

Orange flames burned; the opponent cultivated fire attribute Dou Qi, which restrained wood attributes.

"Shameless scoundrel! Do you really think the people of Feng City are easy to bully?"

Although the strength of the 5-Star Dou Emperor was slightly inferior to Lu Man's, relying on the restraint of Dou Qi attributes, he could finally narrow the gap, engaging in a prolonged battle.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Sharp blade aura struck the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, leaving white marks on its black, metallic-looking stiff scales.

The opponent of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was a 7-Star Dou Emperor, slightly higher in terms of Dou Qi level, but Magic Beasts possessed far greater physical strength than humans, so the outcome of their fight was evenly matched.

The most critical battle was still the showdown between Queen Medusa and Han Feng.

"You are Queen Medusa of Tager Desert?"

"I, Han Feng, have no grudges with the Snake People Tribe. Why do you persist in entangling with me?"

Han Feng had just entered the realm of 8-Star Dou Emperor, far weaker than Queen Medusa, who had been stuck at the peak of Dou Emperor for many years. Plus, he was ambushed and lost an arm right from the start, putting him at a considerable disadvantage.

"You talk too much."

Queen Medusa was ruthless with few words. The snake-shaped longsword in her hand emitted terrifying Dou Qi sharpness, each strike aimed at Han Feng's vital points.

"Hiss~"

A long scar was carved into Han Feng's cheek, filling him with intense fear. He shouted, "I am a Sixth Grade Alchemist! Whoever hired you, I can double their pay. Pfft!"

Without any mercy, a palm sent Han Feng flying. Queen Medusa remained calm, unaffected by Han Feng's offer of Sixth Grade Alchemist as a bargaining chip. Although she agreed to help Yun Tianming as part of a deal, subconsciously, she was determined to fulfill the agreement!

"Damn Snake Woman!"

Han Feng spat blood, appearing weak on the surface, but deep within his bloodshot eyes, a deep blue glow surged.

Seizing the opportunity, Queen Medusa pursued, but suddenly heard Yun Tianming's voice in her ear.

"Watch out!"

"Hmm?!"

With Yun Tianming's warning, alarm bells rang in Queen Medusa's mind.

"Die!"

Han Feng suddenly erupted, the deep blue flames erupting from his palms instantly transforming into a huge beast, crashing heavily into Queen Medusa.

"Boom!"

Queen Medusa took the blow head-on, her figure flying backward.

"Swoosh~"

Yun Tianming spread his Dark Feather Wings and swiftly flew behind, using his body as a cushion, catching Queen Medusa.

"Hmph~"

Queen Medusa snorted, a hint of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth. Shocked, she was grateful for Yun Tianming's reminder; she had fully defended with Dou Qi; otherwise, she would have been caught off guard by Han Feng's Heavenly Flame eruption, at least resulting in severe injuries!

"Pfft!"

Yun Tianming bore a significant portion of the impact, spitting out a mouthful of blood immediately.

"You..."

Queen Medusa's eyes flickered, but her expression remained arrogant: "Interfering busybody, as a Dou Grandmaster, you shouldn't meddle in battles at the Dou Emperor level."

Battles at the Dou Emperor level, even just the aftermath of the fighting, were enough to kill a Dou Spirit, let alone someone who was merely a Dou Grandmaster.

"Cough cough~ My apologies, Your Majesty."

"I shouldn't have intervened in your battle, but I couldn't help it. Seeing you in danger, my body acted on its own."

Yun Tianming bluffed with a straight face.

In reality, with Han Feng's strength as an 8-Star Dou Emperor and possessing the Heavenly Flame, among his allies, only Queen Medusa could firmly suppress the opponent.

"I almost had her. Damn brat!"

Han Feng's face turned pale; instinctively, he activated his Qi Method. However, the Sea Heart Flame within him became restless. He practiced only half of the Flame Mantra, and his Qi Method had serious flaws. Therefore, when using the Heavenly Flame, he always struggled to control its energy, causing serious burden to his body.

Originally, he planned to feign weakness, waiting for Queen Medusa to lower her guard before suddenly unleashing the full force of the Heavenly Flame attack. With his powerful Soul Power, he had concealed the Sea Heart Flame perfectly. It was almost successful until Yun Tianming noticed and alerted Queen Medusa, ultimately allowing her to defend against this potentially fatal blow!

"Sly and cunning human! You won't have a second chance!"

Queen Medusa's face turned icy. Her jade hands formed a seal, seemingly using some mysterious Snake People Tribe Secret Technique. Her Dou Qi surged, faintly breaking through the limits of Dou Ancestor.

"Half a foot stepping into the realm of Dou Ancestor!!"

Han Feng was instantly shocked; Queen Medusa at the peak of Dou Emperor was already difficult to deal with, but now, after the enhancement of the Secret Technique, stepping half a foot into the realm of Dou Ancestor, her combat power reached an overwhelming level!

Run!

The first thought that came to mind was to flee!

"Swoosh~"

The deep blue Dou Qi Wings were fully activated, turning into a swift blur flying towards the horizon.

"No one can escape from under my nose!"

Queen Medusa's eyes shimmered with a pink-purple light. Without activating her Dou Qi Wings, she simply swayed her snake tail, disappearing from her original position and reappearing in Han Feng's path forward.

"Swish—!"

With this sword strike, the earth was cleaved open, creating a hundred-meters chasm!

Relying on the late-stage Soul Power of the Mortal Realm, Han Feng barely anticipated the trajectory of the opponent's slash, narrowly avoiding this terrifying blow, which could have killed a high-level Dou Emperor. However, the impact of the Half-step Dou Ancestor's Dou Qi still caused his blood to surge violently.

"Go down!"

Queen Medusa swiftly whipped her snake tail, heavily slamming down towards the back of Han Feng's head.

Sensing the terrifying sound of the wind behind him, Han Feng knew well that if he took this blow head-on, his skull would be shattered. He fully urged the Sea Heart Flame to form a Heavenly Flame barrier behind him.

"Bang!"

Queen Medusa's snake tail violently pierced through the Heavenly Flame barrier, slamming heavily onto Han Feng's back.

"Boom!"

Han Feng crashed to the ground like a meteorite, with multiple bones in his body fractured, suffering severe injuries.

"Now is the time!"

Yun Tianming's eyes gleamed with coldness as he formed complex Soul Hand Seals with both hands.
