Chapter 162: Dou Spirit Injures Dou Ancestor!

"His life belongs to me!"

With a proud and domineering low shout from the queen, Protector Wu was caught off guard, and the weapon in his hand was knocked away.

"What?!"

"Another strong Dou Ancestor?"

Protector Wu's face changed drastically.

When did two Dou Ancestor powerhouses emerge from this remote Jia Ma Empire?

"Hmm? I can't pretend I didn't hear that!"

"Who are you?"

Yun Yun raised her eyebrows, staring closely at the extraordinarily beautiful woman who suddenly appeared in front of her.

Queen Medusa didn't answer, just scrutinized Yun Yun up and down with the same scrutinizing gaze, then couldn't help but furrow her brows. What a mature and glamorous woman.

"You, you're Queen Medusa?!"

Yun Shan's face was full of astonishment as he widened his eyes. In his early years, he had once fought with Queen Medusa, although he was defeated, he managed to save his life and retreat intact.

He looked incredulously at the lower half of the latter's body. The snake body in his memory had now turned into human legs, standing in mid-air. 

'She evolved successfuly and became Dou Ancestor powerhouse!

Well, you've really outdone yourself, kid!

Not only did you steal my family's cabbage, but you also dared to provoke Queen Medusa of the Snake People Tribe!"

"Yun Shan, you old coot, still alive, huh?"

Queen Medusa glanced lightly at the old man in front of her.

"The Medusa of the Snake People Tribe? I'm doing the business of the Hall of Souls, and you dare to meddle?"

Protector Wu narrowed his eyes, concentrating his soul to scan. He found that Queen Medusa's aura was a few points stronger than Yun Yun's, estimated to be around 2-Star Dou Ancestor level, almost equal to his strength. One must not be careless and underestimate the enemy!

"Tianming, who is this woman?"

"Why did she suddenly appear from you?"

Yun Yun questioned.

"Sister Yun'er, let's talk about this after the battle."

"Your Majesty, as a reward for your future Spirit Fusion Pill refinement, I entrust this battle to you."

Yun Tianming stated succinctly, laying out his bargaining chip.

"Deal."

Queen Medusa agreed readily.

She also knew that Spirit Fusion Pill, a Sixth Grade Pill, was extremely rare in both materials and difficulty of refinement. The man in front of her seemed reliable.

"Explain everything to me afterward."

Yun Yun, seeing this, no longer dwelled on the matter and instead focused her attention back on the battle.

"Protector Wu! The tide of attack and defense has already reversed!"

"You must die today!"

Yun Shan's elderly eyes gleamed with fierceness. Once targeted by a Dou Ancestor powerhouse, the Misty Cloud Sect would likely never have peace again. He must be permanently kept here!

"Let's attack together, don't let him escape."

Yun Tianming shared the same view. Dealing with the cunning and ruthless people like the Hall of Souls, once they make a move, there's no turning back. Otherwise, if they let the opponent escape, it will bring endless trouble!

Seeing the four of them locking onto him aggressively, Protector Wu's face turned ugly.

This is big trouble now.

With two Dou Ancestor powerhouses joining forces, along with Yun Shan at the peak of Dou Emperor, and Yun Tianming wielding the mysterious Heavenly Flame technique, Protector Wu alone would indeed find it difficult to defend.

'Let's go for the weakest link!'

Protector Wu's figure flashed, heading straight for Yun Tianming.

"Hold it!"

"Stop for me!"

Yun Yun and Queen Medusa both stood in front of Yun Tianming, tacitly making their moves to shatter the incoming chains. Then they glanced at each other, both able to see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Why does this woman care so much about Tianming?

"Hmph! Don't misunderstand, I only saved him for the sake of the Spirit Fusion Pill!"

Queen Medusa snorted coldly, taking a moment to explain.

However, Yun Yun, being a woman herself, sensed an unusual aura in it, but with the battle at hand, she didn't have the mind to dwell on it.

"Don't worry, I'm not a weak man who stands behind women."

Yun Tianming waved his hand, releasing the Green Ocean Lotus Flame. He condensed a lake-blue flame halberd in his hand and took the initiative to charge towards Protector Wu with his Dark Feather Wings spread.

"You're seeking death, kid!"

Protector Wu's face lit up at the sight. He had been worried about closing in on his opponent, but unexpectedly, the other party had taken the initiative to come to him.

"A Dou Spirit challenging a Dou Ancestor, bold!"

"No wonder you're a disciple of my Misty Cloud Sect, haha!"

Yun Shan burst into laughter. If the younger generation was this courageous, then as an elder, he naturally couldn't fall behind.

"Thousand Winds Binding!"

With a grasp of his hand towards Protector Wu, countless substantial wind ropes formed from the gathering winds surged forth, blocking the chains released by the latter. Although they could only resist for a moment, they provided Yun Tianming with an opportunity to attack.

While his chain weapons were temporarily blocked, Protector Wu, bare-handed, remained undaunted. With a bare-handed grip, he distorted space at the center of his palm, blocking the flaming halberd thrusting towards him from the front by Yun Tianming. His other hand formed a blade, condensing a pitch-black blade to slash towards Yun Tianming.

A strike from a Dou Ancestor, even a Dou Emperor powerhouse would find it difficult to evade. However, relying on his powerful Soul Power, Yun Tianming anticipated Protector Wu's attack, swiftly dodging to the side, avoiding the opponent's fatal strike.

"Huh?!"

"Such formidable Soul Power, not inferior to a Seventh Grade Alchemist!"

Protector Wu was instantly astonished. The Soul of a Seventh Grade Alchemist, even in the Central Plains, was rare, let alone in the northwest region where it was an extremely rare existence. If he could capture Yun Tianming's Soul, his merit would surpass even capturing the Soul of a Dou Ancestor!

With this thought, a glint of greed flashed in Protector Wu's eyes as he continued his assault on Yun Tianming.

"Extreme Wind: Killer Meteorite!"

"Purple Radiance Blade Slash!"

A cyan and a purple sword aura slashed from left and right, each carrying a terrifying destructive power with distorted space. Protector Wu had to abandon his attack on Yun Tianming and turn to defend himself.

"Shadow Barrier!"

Protector Wu exerted his full power to cast the Defensive Dou Technique, forming a thick black barrier around himself.

However, facing the wrathful strikes of Yun Yun and Queen Medusa, both Dou Ancestor powerhouses, the black barrier was shattered with cracks all over.

Seeing the opportunity, Yun Tianming hurled his Heavenly Flame halberd.

"Boiling Sea Divine Halberd!"

An Earth Rank Mid-Level Dou Technique, coupled with the power of the Heavenly Flame, is enough to threaten a Dou Ancestor powerhouse!

"Boom!"

The lake-blue flames swept across the sky, completely incinerating the black barrier around Protector Wu.

"Swoosh~"

Protector Wu flew out from the sea of fire, his robes tattered and emitting wisps of blue smoke, evidently suffering significant damage.

"Well done, lad! Injuring a Dou Ancestor as a Dou Spirit, this old man has never seen such a thing before!"

Yun Shan's face showed appreciation.

Initially, he thought that while this Dou Spirit kid had decent talent, his strength couldn't match up to Yun Yun, a Dou Ancestor powerhouse. Now it seems he's completely qualified!

"Damn Heavenly Flame!"

Protector Wu's face was filled with frustration. He had encountered Heavenly Flame before, but he hadn't expected Yun Tianming's Heavenly Flame to be more powerful than he had anticipated.
