121: Medusa breaks through the barrier, Xiao Lei appears in Zhongzhou again

Purple Thunder Eastern Pavilion, the pavilion newly established on the ice plain where Ice River Valley once stood, was once again facing the risk of destruction after only two years.

The Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in a snow-white long gown, stood atop the Purple Thunder Eastern Pavilion. Her Dou Qi surged, and her cultivation at the Late Stage of a Three-Star Dou Saint made the entire ice plain tremble, causing countless ice mountains to collapse.

The long sword in her hand hummed incessantly due to the immense Dou Qi infused within it.

At this moment, the Xiao Yi Xian's expression was far from pleasant; only deep apprehension lay hidden in her heart.

The only ones who could make her feel such a profound sense of impending danger were naturally the powerhouses from the other three major factions.

"Since its establishment, Purple Thunder Pavilion has always been low-key. If I'm not mistaken, it has never encroached upon the territory of the Spirit Realm. Does the Spirit Realm Lord truly intend to be an enemy of my Purple Thunder Pavilion this time?"

Though apprehensive, the Xiao Yi Xian had no intention of backing down.

"Xiao Lei entrusted me with the position of East Pavilion Lord, so I must defend this territory for him!"

Upon seeing the Xiao Yi Xian's demeanor, Ling Yi didn't pay much attention, but instead became extremely interested in her.

He then spoke, "I've heard that the Purple Thunder Pavilion Lord has three confidantes who each serve as a Pavilion Lord. Among them, the East Pavilion Lord, the Woeful Poison Saint, possesses the Calamity Poison Body, yet she has Cultivated to the Dou Saint level without exploding!"

To continue the glory of the Spirit Clan and find suitable assistance, besides nurturing talents within the Spirit Realm, Ling Yi had another idea... to directly continue the Spirit Clan Bloodline!

During these days, he had already scoured the Spirit Realm for women with good talent, and then he set his sights on the Purple Thunder Pavilion.

The Woeful Poison Saint, possessing the Calamity Poison Body, was definitely considered extraordinarily gifted. Ling Yi would try any method he deemed useful now!

"Why resist? You can simply surrender and return to the Spirit Realm with me. I'll make you the mistress of the Spirit Realm. Don't you think about how your Purple Thunder Pavilion Lord, Xiao Lei, hasn't appeared even now? Such a coward..."

Before his words finished, the Xiao Yi Xian's long sword was already unsheathed, transforming into a long rainbow in the air!

The Saint-Grade might surged, and the powerful attack made the entire ice plain tremble. The sky-obscuring poisonous Qi permeated everywhere, even seeping into the Void Realm, turning it into a world of poisonous Qi.

However, facing the Xiao Yi Xian's overwhelming strike, Ling Yi, who was at the Early Stage of a Six-Star Dou Saint, merely unleashed an attack casually, shattering the sword light, and then sent down a terrifying Soul Strength.

"Soul Imprisonment!"

As his words fell, a strong fluctuation of a Heaven-Grade Late Stage Soul Power surged forth, instantly piercing through the obstruction of the pervasive malevolent poisonous Qi and striking directly at the Xiao Yi Xian.

Just then, a graceful figure flew over, and numerous colorful lights shot out from her hand, encircling the Xiao Yi Xian.

Countless Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Souls protected the Xiao Yi Xian, barely fending off that Soul impact for her.

When the Xiao Yi Xian, having escaped a calamity, regained her senses, only a graceful figure remained in front of her.

"Medusa? You've come out of seclusion!"

For the past two years, the Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had been in charge of all affairs of the Purple Thunder Pavilion. Medusa had been in a state of Cultivation within the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.

It was for this reason that when Ling Yi attacked, the Xiao Yi Xian had to face him alone.

Standing in front of the Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa briefly turned her head to check on the latter's condition, finally feeling relieved. "I originally needed a bit more time, but if I didn't come out now, I'm afraid your life would be in danger, and then Xiao Lei would blame me!"

Although Medusa had some complaints about Xiao Lei not appearing for two years, and other reasons, she was not someone who lacked a sense of propriety. She didn't take it out on the Xiao Yi Xian but broke out of seclusion as soon as she received news of Ling Yi's attack.

With those words, Medusa turned to gaze at Ling Yi, unsheathing her Nine-Colored Snake Sword and pointing it directly at him without any hesitation.

A colossal python figure appeared behind her. Upon closer inspection, it had nine different colors. Along with this, Medusa's cultivation at the Late Stage of a Five-Star Dou Saint was also released.

Medusa then sternly declared, "Get out of Purple Thunder Pavilion territory within three breaths, or you die!"

Medusa was still the iron-blooded queen of the Snake-People Empire; her personality remained unchanged, still domineering and fierce.

Facing Medusa's warning, Ling Yi seemed to have heard a joke, letting out a slight scoff. Not to mention that Medusa's cultivation was still slightly weaker than his, even if it were the same, Ling Yi was confident that as a member of the Spirit Clan, he could easily suppress her.

"I really don't know what kind of luck that Xiao Lei has to possess so many excellent women like you?"

Upon hearing this, Medusa's brows furrowed slightly, and killing intent filled her snake eyes. "Three breaths are up. Die!"

As she spoke, Medusa's figure vanished from her original spot with extreme speed, even disappearing from sight, leaving only a nine-colored rainbow streaking across the sky.

Such terror made even Ling Yi's eyes slightly darken, and he truly became serious, quickly forming hand seals to unleash a Soul attack.

Hundreds of almost transparent Souls inexplicably appeared high in the sky, screaming in unison, their cries piercing the Soul like blood, striking directly at the Soul.

In the Void Realm, Medusa was hit head-on by this attack, but she only furrowed her brows slightly, feeling somewhat annoyed. The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Soul on her shoulder, however, swayed, and even its seven colors showed signs of dimming.

These Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Souls were Medusa's foundation and the means to acquire the secret techniques of the Heaven Swallowing Python clan. Medusa naturally did not want anything to happen to them.

"Only a quick victory will do!"

On the other hand, Ling Yi, seeing that his Soul attack seemed ineffective, simply waved the long sword in his hand, conjuring a sky-reaching sword light, ready to continue sweeping across the battlefield.

The next moment, a colossal snake body, thousands of feet long, materialized. Its tail violently lashed out at Ling Yi, instantly shattering the sky-filled sword light. Even Ling Yi immediately dodged.

The Spirit Clan specialized in Soul Cultivation and had weak Physical Bodies, so how could they be a match for the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which excelled in strength?

"Such powerful strength!"

Before Ling Yi could adjust his state, an energy surge appeared from behind him.

The sword light's aura was restrained, as if nonexistent. If it weren't for Ling Yi's powerful Soul Strength, he might not have even noticed it. However, within that silent depth, terrifying energy surged.

Ling Yi raised his sword, intending to block, but Medusa also attacked at this moment!

On her mountain-like colossal snake head, an eerie mark appeared, crimson like blood, emitting specks of blood-red flames. With the enhancement of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, Medusa's Physical Body was further strengthened.

"Heavenly Flame!"

With attacks coming from both front and back, Ling Yi no longer possessed his previous ease; instead, he was exceptionally terrified.

Immediately, Ling Yi's heart hardened. He fiercely poked his index finger directly into the side of his forehead.

And at this moment, his Soul Strength erupted, transforming into a physical entity that ascended high into the sky, overlooking the vast ice plain.

Then, a colossal figure, a thousand feet tall, materialized from the Void Realm. It had three heads and a thousand arms. Each of its three heads displayed a different expression, and its thousand arms waved, violently striking the sweeping snake tail. Its back, meanwhile, directly withstood the sword light!

Boom!

Two colossal entities clashed in the air. The powerful collision seemed to shake the entire land. Hundreds of feet of thick snow and ice were swept away by the strong winds, only to turn into wisps of mist under the sub-fire of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire Medusa unleashed.

The sword light shattered, leaving a terrifying wound on the ferocious Soul body. However, Ling Yi had no energy left to care about his so-called injuries; instead, he fully activated his Soul body's attack, sending Medusa retreating repeatedly.

Medusa's explosive attack just now had already made him sweat profusely. He no longer dared to underestimate her and only wanted to end this battle quickly.

Boom!

Another powerful collision, and Medusa's figure was instantly sent flying, crashing onto the ice plain, flattening countless ice mountains that were still stubbornly standing.

Medusa strained to support her massive body, just about to continue fighting to the death, when she saw a figure already soaring into the sky.

What kind of figure was that?

A cyan robe fluttered in the wind, and the long saber in his hand exuded a sharpness that pierced the Soul.

He merely stood there, and his boundless aura could change the color of the heavens and earth, making the Void Realm tremble!

Ling Yi spoke heavily, "Who are you?"

The newcomer spoke lightly, "The Imperial Clan won't take you, so I will!"
