195: Snake people news

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, its fierce rays illuminating the boundless yellow sand, which shimmered faintly.

Three dark figures swiftly swept across the yellow sand.

The immense Fighting Qi stirred up a dull roar, echoing in the air.

“Give up, Snake Woman Yue Mei. Your Snake-People Tribe will be completely annihilated today. What’s the point of you surviving alone?”

An old man and a middle-aged man closely followed the rapidly flying figure ahead.

Both wore white robes, embroidered with the Yun Sword insignia.

These were clearly the Yunlan Sect’s Sect uniforms.

The figure ahead was a half-human, half-snake woman, covered in wounds, her clothes torn, looking extremely disheveled.

She heard the voice from behind but didn't respond.

Her condition was extremely poor at the moment; even speaking would affect her.

Damn it!

Those bastards from the Yunlan Sect, why did they launch a full-scale attack for no reason? They hadn't been this crazy in the past year.

Yue Mei’s heart felt heavy.

She had initially thought it was just a simple request for aid, so she went to the tribe alone.

But she was ambushed by the Yunlan Sect, with three Elders in the Douwang realm alone.

One of them even had Peak Douwang strength.

This caused Yue Mei, who was only a six-star Douwang, to be surrounded by three people and immediately fall into a disadvantage.

“How did so many Douwang suddenly appear? What exactly did the Yunlan Sect do?”

Cold sweat broke out on Yue Mei’s forehead as her wounds were aggravated.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind pressed down from behind her.

Yue Mei didn’t even turn her head, her wings flapped, and she shifted a short distance to the side.

“Hmph…”

Just as Yue Mei thought she had successfully dodged it, the surge of Qi actually changed direction, striking directly towards her.

“Ah!”

Although she immediately put up a defense, Yue Mei had little Fighting Qi left in her body. After taking a hit, she let out a scream and plummeted from high in the sky.

Nearing the sandy ground, Yue Mei barely managed to gather a surge of Fighting Qi, preventing herself from crashing heavily onto the sand.

Scorching heat continuously poured into her body from where the sand met her skin.

Yue Mei endured the discomfort and flipped her body over.

In mid-air, the two men looked down at her from above.

“We’ll send you on your way first. By a little later, your Snake-People Temple will also be pretty much annihilated.”

The old man flipped his palm, and a hurricane gathered in his palm, then he struck it downwards towards Yue Mei.

The hurricane roared, instantly transforming into an extremely thick storm.

Yue Mei closed her eyes in despair.

Her Fighting Qi was exhausted, and there were no other strong Snake-People Tribe members around. She was in a desperate situation.

However.

A few breaths passed, but the anticipated impact didn’t land on her as she imagined. Only a gentle breeze swept over her body, carrying away a trace of the dryness.

What’s going on? Did he miss?

As Yue Mei’s mind raced, she suddenly heard the old man’s angry voice.

“The Yunlan Sect is handling business here, young man. Who are you? Get lost immediately!”

The old man’s eyes widened, glaring angrily at the young man who had suddenly appeared below.

The other party’s aura was not evident, but his speed was elusive.

He hadn’t even noticed the newcomer’s appearance, and the young man had blocked his attack with a single strike.

Yue Mei opened her eyes and found that two figures, one tall and one small, had appeared in front of her at some point.

Both were humans.

One was a tall young man with his back to her, his face obscured, while the other was a purple-haired girl who tilted her head, her gaze sizing her up.

From the girl’s eyes, Yue Mei faintly saw a hint of disgust, and her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Am I that ugly?

“Noisy.”

Lin Xiu glanced at the two, raised his right hand, and pressed his extended index finger down towards them.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This lightning was extremely fast, shaped like a human finger, as if a god was pressing down.

The old man and the middle-aged man felt the fluctuations of the surrounding heaven and earth energy, and their complexions drastically changed.

“Run!”

The two spoke in unison, their entire bodies’ Fighting Qi surging like boiling water, as they fled in two different directions.

Their faces showed fear and panic.

No one expected that a young man who inexplicably appeared would directly attack, without any regard for rules.

And he didn’t even care about the Yunlan Sect’s name.

However, their speed was completely insignificant in the face of the lightning. Before they could even take a step, they were engulfed by the lightning and then plummeted into the desert.

Yellow sand flew everywhere, revealing a huge deep pit.

“They… they just died?”

Not sensing the aura of the two, Yue Mei gasped.

At this moment, her heart tightened.

Because the young man slowly turned around, and a pair of indifferent eyes landed on her.

Being stared at by the other party, Yue Mei felt as if she was being watched by a fierce beast; that pressure was almost on par with the Queen’s.

“Commander Yue Mei? Take me to the Snake-People Temple.”

Lin Xiu commanded.

“Are you an enemy or a friend?”

Yue Mei didn’t agree immediately. The other party’s strength was unbelievably strong; a Douwang couldn’t even last a single move against him.

If she didn't clarify, what if she brought disaster to her tribe?

Lin Xiu didn’t answer. Instead, he raised his palm and waved it towards Yue Mei.

She instinctively dodged, but felt no Fighting Qi energy, so she reopened her narrowed eyes.

Her triangular pupils shifted, looking at the yellow sand beside her.

On the sand, a token lay quietly.

A Queen’s token?

Yue Mei’s pupils contracted, her eyes widening as she looked at Lin Xiu. “How do you have this?”

“Nonsense, of course, your Queen personally gave it to me.”

Lin Xiu put the token away again.

“How could the Queen give a token to a human?”

Yue Mei murmured softly, her tone somewhat doubtful.

But the token was usually kept close to the Queen; ordinary people who wanted to touch it couldn’t even get near it.

After fruitless thought, Yue Mei came back to her senses, finding her neck being gripped and she was lifted straight up.

“What do you want to do?”

Yue Mei panicked for a moment.

“To the Snake-People Temple, point the way.”

Lin Xiu said coldly.

After a moment of silence, Yue Mei raised her hand and pointed in a direction.

Holding one in each armpit, Lin Xiu clamped both individuals, and lightning lit up beneath his feet.

The next second.

The surrounding scenery rapidly receded, its colors blurring, even becoming somewhat distorted.

What kind of speed is this? Is he a Dou Zong?

Catching a glimpse of the surrounding changes, Yue Mei’s expression was somewhat out of control. It was her first time experiencing such a whirlwind speed.

After about a dozen breaths, Yue Mei found that everything around her became clear again.

Why did he slow down?

At this moment, Yue Mei looked intently ahead and was astonished to see the Snake-People core city appear.

“This, this, it would take me at least half a day to fly…”

Yue Mei was incredibly disbelieving.

A fierce battle was indeed happening in the city ahead. Many Yunlan Sect Disciples had formed a Formation, attacking the city.

And above the city, clouds and mist swirled, with waves of Fighting Qi fluctuations emanating from within, accompanied by shouts.

Among them, several Dou Huang auras were extremely powerful.

“Why isn’t the Queen here?”

Yue Mei was stunned, noticing something was wrong, and felt a little panicked.

The Queen absolutely must not be in trouble!

A sharp cry came from within the clouds and mist.

“Everyone, put in more effort!”

“While the Sect Master holds Medusa, let’s destroy her Snake-People Temple today.”

The already powerful Fighting Qi energy surged even higher.

Several figures successively shot out from within the clouds, their enormous impact smashing many buildings in the city into ruins, and dust flew everywhere.

In the thinning clouds, several white-robed figures appeared.

They stood in different positions, seemingly having formed some kind of Formation.

Fighting Qi surged within the clouds, brewing a powerful Fighting Skill.

Suddenly, an impact struck from outside. The few people in the clouds noticed it and immediately switched from offense to defense.

But they were still blasted a significant distance away, and even the grand Formation they relied on was directly broken.

The few people vomited blood, their eyes confused and terrified as they scanned their surroundings, yet saw no one.

Exchanging glances, the few immediately reached a consensus: gather the Disciples and leave.
