Upon the fortress, after a long moment of stunned silence, Hai Bo Dong and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping their foreheads, they found them covered in cold sweat. “This kid… is taking too big a risk,” Hai Bo Dong said, still somewhat shaken, as he swallowed.
Jia Xing Tian let out a wry smile and said, “When have you ever seen him appear without bringing a huge surprise? Today’s young people are indeed full of vigor… If it were me, I would never do such a thing.”
Xiao Ding, seated in his wheelchair, also relaxed visibly. His tensed body slumped against the backrest. He sighed, “Today’s deadlock is finally resolved.”
Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong and the others nodded. The reason why the Three Elders of Mo Lan were fearsome was that their combined “Three Beast Savage Decisive” could rival a Battle Sect powerhouse. However, with one of the Three Elders now severely injured by Xiao Yan, it would be difficult to fully execute their move. Without this advantage, the remaining two Mo Lan Elders were just two peak Battle Emperor powerhouses, no longer having the arrogance of before.
With Xiao Yan’s strength, even though he was injured, dealing with two peak Battle Emperor elders would be much easier than facing a Battle Sect. More importantly, he not only held back the Three Elders but also crippled one of them. Thus, no one would interfere with the battle between Medusa and Yan Luo Tian. Relying on Medusa’s prowess, defeating Yan Luo Tian was just a matter of time.
If both the Three Elders of Mo Lan and Yan Luo Tian failed today, the crisis of the Jia Ma Empire would not only be immediately relieved, but there might even be a chance to severely cripple the three sects!
Thinking of this, the eyes of the people on the fortress couldn’t help but fill with a flicker of joy. Over the past year, they had been beaten down by the three sects’ alliance, and if they continued to fail, the fall of the empire and the destruction of homes would be inevitable for everyone.
And the one who rescued them from this despair was the young man in the sky, daring to stake his life!
He wagered his life to bring hope to the Jia Ma Empire, giving countless people a chance to escape displacement!
Yue Mei, with her dainty hand covering her red lips, her alluring snake eyes flashing with undeniable shock, had her heart clenched during the lightning-quick battle that had drawn the attention of countless onlookers. Luckily, amid the tumultuous fight, Xiao Yan ultimately stood victorious.
“This guy… no wonder Her Majesty trusts him so much. He truly has quite the talent…” Yue Mei murmured, her gaze fixed on the black-robed youth in the sky, whose mouth bore a trace of blood, but whose face exuded a fierce, undaunted aura. She couldn’t help but feel a strange flutter in her heart. Who would have thought that the boy she once hunted across the desert, now, was the master of the greatest power in the Jia Ma Empire and an idol revered by all its people?
This growth rate was astonishing, almost dizzying.
When the Tiger Head Elder fell heavily from the sky, the battlefield where Medusa and Yan Luo Tian fought paused. Yan Luo Tian’s eyes darted, and his expression darkened. He roared furiously, “Elders of the Mo Lan Valley, how could you be reduced to this state by a single Battle Emperor? Is this the ten-round victory you promised me?!”
Unlike the enraged Yan Luo Tian, a hint of joy flickered in Medusa’s eyes. Lifting her exquisite eyes, she gazed at the black-robed youth standing distant in the sky, her eyes softening. Years ago, she could have taken his life with a single move, but now, unbeknownst to everyone, he had grown to challenge Battle Sect powerhouses.
At this moment, even the proud Medusa had to admit that the gap between her and Xiao Yan was closing at an astonishing speed. So, it was possible that in the future, he might truly surpass her!
And according to the unwritten rules passed down by generations of Queen Medusa, her husband must be stronger than her.
Thinking of this, a faint blush appeared on Medusa’s cold, alluring face. This instant of allure made the raging Yan Luo Tian swallow, hard. This woman… to a man, was nothing short of a temptress. If it weren’t for her overwhelming strength, he would have taken her by force, no matter what!
Just as Yan Luo Tian’s gaze lingered on Medusa, he suddenly felt a piercing, icy stare. Startled, he saw that Medusa was glaring at him, her eyes filled with killing intent. Clearly, Yan Luo Tian’s indiscreet gaze had roused the queen’s murderous temper.
Feeling the venomous gaze, Yan Luo Tian became uncomfortable. But before he could react, a glint of cold light shot towards his eyes.
“Keep those dog eyes then!” Sensing Medusa’s lethal attack, Yan Luo Tian was slightly angered. This woman was indeed vicious. Even if he took her, he wouldn’t dare sleep with her.
Considering this, Yan Luo Tian moved to confront the attack. Despite knowing he wasn’t her match, he couldn’t retreat in front of so many onlookers, as the leader of the Golden Swallow Sect.
As Medusa and Yan Luo Tian re-engaged in battle, the severely injured Tiger Head Elder, falling from the sky, was caught by several swift figures from the army outside the fortress, who quickly retreated into the ranks.
Xiao Yan watched the Tiger Head Elder being carried away with a slight regret. He hadn’t expected that the Lotus of Heavenly Fire, despite the close-range explosion, failed to claim his life. Still, the elder was severely wounded, unlikely to recover anytime soon, and any recovery would leave lasting complications. After all, the Lotus of Heavenly Fire was no ordinary combat skill.
Shifting his gaze, he stopped on the two remaining Mo Lan Elders. With the formation compromised, the “Three Beast Savage Decisive” significantly weakened. The beast heads above them, formed of bloody energy, grew faint.
Despite the fading beast heads, the two Elders’ venomous gazes remained fixed on Xiao Yan. Being bested by Xiao Yan, a Battle Emperor, in front of so many onlookers, was humiliating. Upon returning, even if no one dared to say it openly, mockery would ensue in private. And this mockery was all due to the black-robed youth before them.
“Gentlemen, with one missing, does your ‘Three Beast Savage Decisive’ still work?” Xiao Yan smiled mockingly at the two disheveled Mo Lan Elders.
“Che! A mere brat relying on tricks and luck. What’s there to be proud of? That earlier blow must have hurt, didn’t it?” The Bear Head Elder gritted his teeth.
“Not bad, but I can hold on until I deal with you,” Xiao Yan laughed casually. The injuries he suffered were incomparably minor compared to his previous battles.
“Arrogant brat, even with one gone, we can still subdue you. Once we capture you, we’ll break your bones one by one, and see if you can run fast then!” The Lion Head Elder, full of venom, snarled.
Xiao Yan shook his head. Two peak Battle Emperor, while a bit troublesome, were not a serious threat.
Xiao Yan’s expression unchanging, his Dou Qi began to surge. His hand seals changed rapidly, leaving behind phantom after phantom.
Seeing this, the two Mo Lan Elders concentrated, wary of underestimating Xiao Yan again after their previous miscalculation.
Xiao Yan’s hand seal changed even faster. At his current strength, unleashing his full power would surely give these two old men a taste of their own medicine.
Just as Xiao Yan’s hand seals were about to erupt, a sharp eagle cry echoed through the sky, reverberating over the area.
Everyone on the fortress, except Xiao Yan, changed expressions. Hai Bo Dong and the others looked especially grave.
“Wasn’t she supposed to be recuperating? Why is she here again?!”
