Gazing at the Medusa who appeared before him, Xiao Yan also let out a sigh of relief. There were too many strong opponents, and if he truly wanted to force his way out, he could naturally leave. However, that would require unleashing the Buddha’s Wrathful Fire Lotus, taking out a whole bunch of people in the process. But once the Buddha’s Wrathful Fire Lotus was unleashed, Xiao Yan would become extremely weak, and if anything else happened midway, he would have little power to protect himself. “Have you taken care of your end?” Glancing around, Xiao Yan asked quickly. “Mm.” Medusa nodded lightly; dealing with the Yanluo Sect Master hadn’t required much effort, and things had gone more smoothly than she expected. Allowing that man to die at the peak of his joy was also befitting of his Battle Sect strength. “You go first, I’ll cover the rear. If we linger any longer, I’m afraid the Golden Swallow Sect’s strong experts will come chasing after us,” Medusa turned her head toward Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan hesitated slightly, then nodded. Without further ado, his figure moved, dashing straight for a break in the encirclement.
Medusa’s appearance made the expressions of the Mullan Valley’s strong experts grim. Nearly a year of battling gave them a clear understanding of her overwhelming power. If it were in the past, with the Tri-Beast Wilderness Decree, the three elders of Mullan might still be able to compete, but now with one of the three missing and the technique ineffective, it was impossible for them to match Medusa with just their peak Battle Emperor strength.
Medusa’s eyes glanced indifferently over the two remaining elders, her slender hand clenching, revealing a seven-colored serpent sword. A hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes as she moved like a wraith, swooping toward the two.
“Stop her!” Seeing Medusa’s actions, the faces of the two Mullan elders changed dramatically. They shouted urgently, acutely aware that the two of them were no match for Medusa. Without the Tri-Beast Wilderness Decree, they were simply ordinary peak Battle Emperors.
Hearing the shout, the surrounding Mullan Valley strong experts, after hesitating, gritted their teeth and charged toward Medusa, their Dou Qi unleashed to the extreme, creating sharp whistling sounds in the night sky.
But Medusa’s expression remained unchanged. Her hand moved, and countless streams of seven-colored energy burst from her body like giant colored serpents, colliding with the attacks from all directions, causing thunderous explosions and shockwaves that spread. Some weaker Mullan strong experts, hit by this shockwave, turned pale and hastily retreated in terror.
Facing so many strong opponents, Medusa showed no sign of being hindered. The strength of a Battle Sect was indeed extraordinary.
Compared to her, Xiao Yan appeared somewhat disheveled. Although he was theoretically capable of fighting Battle Sects at full strength, it was only with the utmost effort. After such a fight, even if fortunate enough to avoid serious injuries, he would enter a weakened state. Regardless of Xiao Yan’s powerful Dou skills, his base strength was still only that of a 1-star Battle Emperor, far from the true Battle Sect level.
The combined efforts of the Mullan valley’s strong experts did not stop Medusa. In a few flashes, she appeared beside the retreating two elders, her beautiful yet cold face filled with a chill.
Seeing how swiftly Medusa broke through the blockade, the two elders’ faces underwent another drastic change. As they retreated, they roared, clasping hands and gathering blood-red energy in their fists. In an instant, a violent blast was directed at Medusa.
Watching the two struggling, Medusa’s hand moved, lightly blocking their fists. Then, the seven-colored energy poured forth, covering everything.
Puff! Despite the seemingly light collision, the two Mullan elders staggered, their bodies shaking violently as they skidded across the ground, spewing blood from their mouths.
“Without the Tri-Beast Wilderness Decree, you can’t stand against me!” Seeing the two in such a pathetic state from a single strike, Medusa sneered.
The two Mullan elders’ faces were filled with horror as they fled, but a seven-colored beam of cold light suddenly struck, piercing through one of their chests, leaving a trail of blood. The last Mullan elder, seeing this, was even more horrified. To think that a Battle Sect could kill them as easily as slicing a chicken—it was terrifying.
Terrified, the Mullan elder fled faster, but his body froze mid-flight, his face showing shock. With difficulty, he looked down, only to see a blade tip, dripping with fresh blood, protruding from his chest.
Life drained from his eyes as the blood dripped, and the last Mullan elder’s body collapsed under the terrified gazes of the onlookers.
With her seven-colored snake sword dissipating, Medusa’s cold gaze swept over the area. The Mullan’s strong experts, fearing her, hurriedly retreated. In their minds, she was like an evil deity, having killed two peak Battle Emperors in just a few rounds—utterly ruthless.
Withdrawing her gaze, Medusa reached for the storage ring on the elder’s finger, then approached the other elder to take his ring. Finished, she flew up, dashing toward the camp’s outskirts.
No Mullan strong expert dared to oppose her. They knew well that against a Battle Sect, they had no power to retaliate.
Tonight, the Mullan Valley suffered heavy losses, with rivers of blood flowing in the camp under Xiao Yan and Medusa’s hands.
Dashing out of the camp, Medusa saw Xiao Yan hovering in the air. He visibly relaxed upon seeing her. “Quick, the Golden Swallow Sect is coming.”
Glancing west, Medusa saw rapidly approaching light beams, filled with angry shouts. The Golden Swallow Sect had discovered their Sect Master’s death.
Nodding, Medusa appeared beside Xiao Yan, grabbed his arm amidst his surprise, and the two zipped away like shooting stars toward the city’s edge.
With Medusa’s menacing aura, the strong experts guarding the city walls, though infuriated, dared not intervene. They could only watch as the pair fled the city and disappeared into the night sky.
Just as Xiao Yan and Medusa left the city, a massive aura erupted from the Central Poison Clan in the city center. Finding it too late to chase, the aura withdrew reluctantly.
In the distant night sky, two figures stopped, relaxing when no pursuers came.
Exhaling, Xiao Yan smiled. Tonight had been exhilarating. The deaths of two Battle Sects were enough to drive the Golden Swallow Sect and Mullan Valley mad. It was unlikely they would dare attack the Jia Ma Empire again.
“Are you alright?” Turning to Medusa, who was gently brushing a loose strand of hair from her face, Xiao Yan asked, genuine concern in his voice.
“As long as that Little Healer Immortal doesn’t interfere, no one in the city can stop me,” Medusa replied, her icy glare softening.
Xiao Yan smiled, about to speak, when they heard commotion from below. Looking down, they saw a group including Haibodong, all of them visibly relieved.
Haibodong grinned, “How did it go? We saw the chaos in the city and were about to come to your aid.”
“Mission accomplished, the final threat is eliminated,” Xiao Yan said, smiling.
Hearing this, Haibodong and the others couldn’t hide their joy. Their excitement evident, they cheered softly.
Seeing their joy, Xiao Yan smiled, retrieving the storage ring from his pocket. After a moment, he extracted a scroll made of white beast bone, with bloody letters flashing on it: “Tri-Beast Wilderness Decree!”
Gazing at the scroll, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but lick his lips. No wonder those two old men went crazy—they were after this.
