One punch sent Medusa flying

She had witnessed countless powerful individuals and seen monstrous beasts with formidable physical bodies, but she had never encountered any being.

Who could so ferociously withstand a seventh-grade Pill Lightning with their bare flesh!

This had completely overturned her understanding!

"Could he be a transformed monstrous beast? No, even a sixth-tier monstrous beast's physical body couldn't be this powerful!"

"If it were a seventh-tier monstrous beast, that would be a Dou Zong!"

Just as Medusa's mind reeled in immense shock and horror, Shen Wen, bathed in the lightning, wore a look of pure enjoyment.

Shen Wen naturally wasn't courting death.

He possessed the devouring ancestral talisman and also the Great Chaos Thunder Method.

Facing the seventh-grade Pill Lightning that would make even ordinary Dou Zongs retreat, he showed not a hint of fear; instead, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Excellent!"

He muttered in his heart.

The power of the devouring ancestral talisman surged within him, like a bottomless black hole, frantically devouring the violent lightning that struck his body.

The lightning that could destroy a Dou Zong.

The moment it entered his meridians, it was rapidly broken down, refined, and transformed into the purest lightning power by the devouring force.

At the same time, the incantations of the Great Chaos Thunder Method circulated on their own, guiding this refined lightning power to intertwine and temper with the Heavenly Dragon Qi within him that had not yet been fully absorbed.

"Chichichichi—"

Lightning danced on his body's surface.

The Azure Dragon Texture that had originally only covered a layer of skin, nourished by this power.

Actually began to subtly bulge, and faint, intricate, ancient azure scales started to appear as illusory images!

Although still blurry and not fully solidified, a dragon's might far purer and more domineering than before involuntarily spread out.

"What a rush!"

Shen Wen felt his physical body grow stronger bit by bit in the lightning.

His vital energy surged even more under the dual tempering of lightning and dragon qi.

He even had a clear premonition regarding the condensation of the "Azure Dragon Scales," the next stage of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

A thought couldn't help but arise in his mind: "It seems I'll have to refine more high-grade pills in the future to attract Pill Lightning for body tempering.

This is simply a shortcut to refining Heavenly Dragon Qi and accelerating the cultivation of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art!"

He even thought of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in the Northern Region of Central State, where the famous Wind and Thunder Mountain Range was located.

If he could cultivate by borrowing its lightning power, the effect would surely be even better.

This thought flashed through his mind, to be planned for later.

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to grow furious due to their power being frantically devoured, and several even thicker silver serpents of lightning struck down consecutively.

But without exception, all became fuel for Shen Wen's growth.

In just a dozen breaths, that awe-inspiring Pill Lightning.

Was actually devoured and refined completely by him in such an overbearing manner!

The thunderclouds in the sky rolled twice unwillingly, then slowly dissipated, revealing the clear blue sky behind them.

And Shen Wen's aura.

Not only did it not weaken from resisting the Pill Lightning, but it became even more condensed and profound, with lightning and dragon's might subtly interwoven around him, causing hearts to tremble.

The next moment.

His gaze was like electricity, instantly locking onto the enchanting and powerful purple Medusa in the distant desert!

"Chila!"

Shen Wen's figure moved, transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning, tearing through the sky, rushing towards Medusa's location at a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary Dou Huang, as if teleporting!

His speed was so great that he left a slowly dissipating silver afterimage in his wake.

Before he even arrived, that domineering aura, a mix of dragon's might and lightning, descended like Mount Tai pressing down!

Medusa's shock had already reached its peak when Shen Wen literally "ate" the Pill Lightning.

Now, seeing Shen Wen charging towards her with majestic heavenly might and unparalleled momentum.

Although startled, she remained calm. Her dignity as a Peak Dou Huang expert and her combat instincts made her react immediately.

"Arrogant!"

She coldly reprimanded, waving her jade hand, and vast purple Dou Qi surged out.

Instantly, several extremely solid, glowing Dou Qi ribbons condensed before her, like giant purple pythons, weaving into a net, attempting to block Shen Wen's charge.

However, facing Shen Wen's punch, which contained the power of lightning and the might of the Azure Dragon, her Dou Qi defense, which was sufficient to withstand attacks from ordinary Peak Dou Huangs, was as fragile as paper!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The lightning-flashing fist swept through like a hot knife through butter. Each tough Dou Qi ribbon, the moment it touched the fist, seemed to meet its nemesis, shattering one after another, turning into scattered purple light points and dissipating.

The momentum of the punch was not exhausted, carrying an unstoppable force, it slammed fiercely towards Medusa!

Medusa's pupils constricted. In haste, she could only cross her arms in front of her, vast Dou Qi condensing into a final defense.

"Boom!"

The force of the punch landed squarely on her arms.

"Ugh!"

An unimaginable immense force struck her. Medusa felt an intense pain in her arms, as if they were about to be crushed. Her delicate body flew backward uncontrollably.

She traced a parabolic arc in the air, retreating dozens of meters before barely stabilizing herself, her blood and qi churning within her.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that the silver electrical arcs attached to Shen Wen's fist, like maggots clinging to bone, instantly surged into her body.

A strong sensation of numbness and stinging immediately spread throughout her limbs and bones, causing her entire body's Dou Qi circulation to momentarily stagnate and become chaotic.

A strange flush couldn't help but appear on her noble and cold beautiful face.

She looked up at the figure in front, whose lightning glow was gradually receding, yet exuded an even more dangerous aura.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with solemnity and trepidation.

Is this guy really just a Dou Huang?!

Shen Wen slowly retracted his fist, looking at the slightly disordered Medusa in the distance, his voice clearly echoing across this desert:

"Medusa, I, Shen Wen, want this strange flame. Do you still want to test my fist?"

Medusa stabilized her figure, forcefully suppressing the numbness and surging blood and qi caused by the lightning power within her.

Her pair of pale purple enchanting eyes stared fixedly at Shen Wen, filled with solemnity and unwillingness.

Just one punch!

She could clearly feel that she was no match for this young man before her.

The power contained within that fist was utterly domineering, far exceeding the Dou Huang level, and it also carried a type of lightning that caused her Dou Qi circulation to stagnate.

If she continued to fight head-on, defeat would only be a matter of time.

But... the Green Lotus Core Flame!

This was her last hope, meticulously planned for years, to break through to Dou Zong and lead her clan out of this scorching desert!

The future of the Snake-People Clan was almost entirely tied to this flame.

How could she possibly give up just like that?

Her beautiful eyes were filled with struggle. Just as the atmosphere became tense, and Medusa was in an internal struggle, weighing whether to fight to the death.

"Impudent! Who dares to harm my Queen!"

A roar like muffled thunder suddenly exploded.

A burly and powerful figure, carrying violent Dou Qi fluctuations, surged from the distant horizon like a black whirlwind, fiercely blocking in front of Medusa, shielding her behind him.
