Borrowing Fire
"Medusa, if you truly evolve successfully and reach the Seventh-Order Magical Beast, then I would really have to be wary of you. But right now, you are only a half-step Dou Zong, and the gap between you and a true Dou Zong cannot be compensated by bloodline alone!" His shoulders trembled slightly, dissipating Medusa's force, Yun Shan coldly stared at the Medusa Queen guarding Xiao Yan.
Suddenly, his hands formed seals rapidly, and his body began to tremble violently. As he trembled, an afterimage eerily emerged from Yun Shan's body.
Medusa's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This doppelganger was actually real and possessed the strength of a peak Dou Huang!
"A doppelganger with the power of a Dou Huang?" Gazing at the appearing afterimage, the Medusa Queen's pupils constricted. She could clearly sense that this afterimage doppelganger was not an illusion but possessed extremely vast energy.
Xiao Yan curled his lips. This doppelganger wasn't just a simple Cultivation Method. Xiao Yan could see that this doppelganger was infused with powerful Soul force, somewhat like a combination of a Soul Body and a Dou Technique.
Without even needing to think, he knew that this was a Dou Technique from the Soul Palace, allowing one to separate a doppelganger.
Instantly turning around, the Medusa Queen was about to block the afterimage, but Yun Shan's main body eerily appeared in front of her, stopping her.
The doppelganger flew over extremely quickly, gathering powerful Dou Qi in its hands, planning to shatter Xiao Yan's Sedan Chair with a palm strike and seize Xiao Yan. At that moment, an old figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
"Sigh, your pills are really hard to earn." Jia Xing Tian exchanged a palm strike with Yun Shan's doppelganger, and terrifying energy instantly raged, causing Xiao Yan's Sedan Chair to sway from side to side.
Seeing Jia Xing Tian take action, Xiao Yan then retrieved the seeds of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame from his palm back into his body.
Xiao Yan hadn't expected Jia Xing Tian to protect him. This was because Xiao Yan couldn't produce the Bone Growing Pill yet, meaning that the Pill Refining promise with the royal family was more of a verbal agreement.
Offending the Yunlan Sect, which had a Dou Zong, for a verbal promise didn't seem worthwhile.
However, upon closer thought, there was some logic to Jia Xing Tian's actions.
If Yun Shan hadn't broken through to Dou Zong, then the Yunlan Sect was just a fierce tiger, a tiger capable of threatening the Gama Empire's royal family. But now it was different. Yun Shan had broken through to Dou Zong! One had to know that there wasn't a single Dou Zong expert in the entire Gama Empire.
The strongest cultivator and the strongest Alchemist were both in the Yunlan Sect, so the Yunlan Sect wasn't just a threat to the Gama Empire's royal family, but could easily overthrow the entire Gama Empire's rule at any time.
Therefore, what Jia Xing Tian had to do now was to lean towards Xiao Yan, even if he couldn't win Xiao Yan over, he had to let the Yunlan Sect know that their Gama Empire's royal family was tied to Xiao Yan, sitting on the same boat.
Otherwise, when Yun Shan wanted to change the face of the Gama Empire, Xiao Yan would have no reason to help the Gama Empire's royal family deal with the Yunlan Sect.
At the very least, if the Yunlan Sect wanted to settle accounts after the autumn harvest and liquidate the Gama Empire's royal family, they would still need to carefully consider the variables of Xiao Yan and Medusa.
With a loud bang, Yun Shan's Soul Body doppelganger was forced back by Jia Xing Tian.
"Jia Xing Tian! Since you insist on this, then don't blame me for not remembering old times!" Yun Shan's doppelganger said in a deep voice, seemingly possessing Yun Shan's wisdom. Seeing Jia Xing Tian step out to stop him, his face immediately turned cold, and he shouted sternly.
Forcing a smile, Jia Xing Tian also sighed and rapidly gathered Dou Qi with both hands, saying, "If you were still at the peak of Dou Huang or even a half-step Dou Zong, I might not want to participate in this muddy water. But you are too strong now, so strong that the entire Gama Empire can't sleep or eat in peace."
Instantly, Jia Xing Tian, at the peak of Dou Huang, engaged in a fierce battle with Yun Shan's doppelganger. Naturally, Yun Shan's doppelganger couldn't possess the strength of the main body, and for a time, it couldn't do anything to Jia Xing Tian.
In the highest sky above, Yun Shan's main body roared with a gloomy face, and terrifying momentum burst out from his body. His hands rapidly formed seals, and his right hand waved.
"Great Wind Handprint!"
An energy handprint nearly several dozen feet in size slammed fiercely towards Medusa.
"Hmph, you've consumed a large amount of Dou Qi and Soul force to create a doppelganger, it seems to have weakened you quite a bit." Looking at the huge wind energy handprint, Medusa sneered.
With a loud bang, as the energy handprint slammed down, Medusa's palm flickered with seven-colored light, and a seven-colored divine light blasted out from her palm.
Boom!! Two terrifying energy shockwaves exploded, and terrifying light poured down in the sky, blinding everyone.
On the messy square, the Yunlan Sect disciples were also staring blankly at the sky. Although their strength wasn't enough to understand how intense Yun Shan and Medusa's battle was, they could get a glimpse of it from the energy fluctuations generated by the two afterimages colliding like lightning.
Hearing Medusa look down on him, who had already reached Dou Zong, Yun Shan's eyes turned blood red as if his heart had been stepped on!
No one knew how much he had sacrificed to reach Dou Zong!
"Even if I consumed a portion of Soul force and Dou Qi, I am a true Dou Zong! Not something a half-step Dou Zong like you can compare to!! Great Compassion Wind Tearing Hand!"
After exchanging several moves with Medusa, Yun Shan realized that he couldn't take her down, and he was instantly enraged! Yun Shan's pupils shrank slightly, and then he shouted in a deep voice.
As Yun Shan's shout fell, the light in his palm suddenly shone brightly, and then an energy hand of several dozen feet in size eerily appeared, finally slamming fiercely towards Medusa with a fierce wind.
Feeling the surge of energy in the surrounding world, Medusa's pupils contracted. Although Magical Beasts were stronger than humans in terms of physical body and lifespan, they were definitely inferior to humans in Dou Techniques. Facing an Earth Rank Dou Technique used by a Dou Zong, Medusa's expression was extremely solemn.
At this moment, a somewhat lazy voice reached Medusa's ears: "Queen, this thing is borrowed, you have to return it."
Sitting on the Sedan Chair, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and waved his hand. A turquoise flame turned into a stream of light and flew towards Medusa.
Seeing that Yun Shan had actually used an Earth Rank Dou Technique, Xiao Yan didn't talk about fairness with Yun Shan and directly lent the seed of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to Medusa! Looking at the beautiful azure flame floating in front of her like a lotus flower, Medusa snorted and said, "Hmph, this was originally mine."
Medusa stretched out her left hand and gently held up the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. The azure light illuminated Medusa's stunning face, making her as beautiful as a celestial being.
Her eyes narrowed, and Medusa instantly used Dou Qi to activate the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. In the next second, endless azure Strange Flame poured out from the flame, and a sea of fire instantly surrounded Medusa's entire body.
The azure fire sea transformed into an azure fire python. Facing the Earth Rank Dou Technique unleashed by Yun Shan, Medusa also struck out with a palm.
Rumble!!! Under the gaze of countless eyes in the plaza, the two attacks, both containing extremely terrifying power, finally collided with a bang. At this moment, the ear-splitting sound of energy explosion resounded across the sky like thunder, causing people to experience a brief period of deafness.
The terrifying and unparalleled high temperature of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was even about to melt the sky! The temperature of the plaza below instantly rose to an agonizing level!
Medusa, with her strength of a Half-Step Dou Zong, when she used Dou Qi to activate the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the power that erupted was truly worthy of being called a Strange Flame. When Xiao Yan, a Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master), activated it with his Dou Qi, it was as weak as a gas stove.
