33: Chapter 33 Don't come any closer!

The purple light of the barrier covering the temple flashed, then it shattered with a bang, turning into countless fragments falling from the sky.

A figure holding a cyan lotus pedestal flew desperately toward the distance.

At the same time, Gu He's group and three Snake-people Tribe leaders flew into the temple.

"Your Majesty!" A Snake-people Tribe leader looked at the ashes in the temple in shock, then shifted his gaze to the satisfied-looking small snake.

But the small snake seemed startled by the sudden turn of events; it abruptly raised its head, swallowed the jade bottle in one gulp, and looked warily at the people who had suddenly appeared.

"Is this? The successfully evolved Queen Medusa?" The Black Robed Man standing next to Gu He said in surprise. Although she couldn't sense Medusa's Aura, there was no doubt that the small snake before them was the successfully evolved Queen Medusa!

"Has she lost her memory? Or has some change occurred?" The Black Robed Man looked at the seven-colored small snake in surprise; under her perception, the small snake was only at the Dou Ling Realm, which was a far cry from the rumors of Queen Medusa becoming a Dou Zong after evolving.

The three Dou Wang experts of the Snake-people Tribe also clearly saw that something was wrong, but unlike Gu He and the others, they could clearly sense a trace of Medusa's Aura.

The three tried to communicate with the small snake, but it only watched them warily.

The three snake-people experts had been aggressive before, which naturally frightened the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. However, as the expressions of the three changed, the wariness in the python's eyes slowly faded, and it looked at the confronting parties with curiosity.

"Where is the Heavenly Flame?" Gu He glanced over and stopped caring, searching the surroundings for the Aura of the Heavenly Flame.

The Black Robed Man waved a sleeve, and cyan smoke dispersed, revealing the bare temple.

Having searched everywhere to no avail, Gu He looked up and saw a figure in the distant sky holding a cyan lotus pedestal.

"Heavenly Flame!" A cyan flame was faintly visible in the lotus pedestal, Gu He shouted loudly.

"Chase him!" Gu He waved his hand fiercely. He hadn't expected that after taking such risks, he would end up doing all the work for someone else; for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"Coming and going as you please, what do you take our Snake-people Tribe for?"

"Kill him!" The snake-person next to the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python suddenly roared, his fiery-red Dou Qi rising like leaping flames.

"I'll hold back these snake-people, you guys go chase him!" The Black Robed Man's figure flickered, appearing directly between the two sides and blocking Yan Ci.

Seeing this, the three Dou Wang experts of the Snake-people Tribe no longer hesitated, releasing their Dou Qi with full force and attacking the Black Robed Man.

At this time, the injured Medusa guards tried to approach the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, but startled by the commotion, the python could no longer bear it. It turned into a streak of colorful light and, as if the air offered no resistance, disappeared from the guards' sight in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty! Where are you going!" the Medusa guards cried out in alarm.

"Your Majesty!" Yan Ci and the others, who were attacking the Black Robed Man, were shocked to see the small snake also chasing after the Heavenly Flame direction.

Among the three, Yue Mei was also present. She had recognized Xiao Yan from the very beginning, but due to issues of Face, she hadn't told the others.

However, she had strengthened the guards because of it, and they discovered Gu He and his group the day after the battle with Xiao Yan.

She just hadn't expected that the human youth would cause such a great impact on them.

The three coordinated with extreme skill, attacking the Black Robed Man frantically as if their lives didn't matter, but the Black Robed Man remained calm and unruffled.

The Black Robed Man easily neutralized their attacks and scattered several streaks of cyan light, forcing the three to join forces to block them.

"Wind Returns to the Earth!" A cool shout came from the Black Robed Man's mouth. She sensed two more Dou Wangs from the Snake-people Tribe approaching, and since Gu He and the others had already disappeared from sight, she prepared to withdraw.

The solid cyan energy in the sky continued to press down, constantly transforming into deep cyan wind blades within the gale, sweeping across heaven and earth like a torrential rain.

After performing this move, the Black Robed Man let out a soft breath, her cyan wings fluttering as she chased after the direction Gu He and the others had gone.

The three, feeling this immense pressure, could only stand their ground. Three different pillars of Dou Qi soared into the sky, resisting the powerful wind pressure from above.

Before long, two Dou Wangs arrived with incredible speed, and the three finally broke through the wind pressure overhead.

"Chase them!" The three hurriedly gave chase, and the two newcomers, stunned for a moment, also turned into two streaks of light to follow.

Xiao Yan, flying at high speed in the lead, was being closely pursued by Gu He and the others, but fortunately, there was still some distance. However, his joy didn't last long before he was startled by a sudden Aura appearing behind him.

"This is ridiculous! Why is this small snake chasing me!" A seven-colored small snake followed Xiao Yan from a distance, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain loudly.

"Tsk tsk, who told you to leave the accompanying purple crystal source for it? You really are generous..." Yao Lao's voice rang out.

"The first person it saw upon waking was also you. According to the habits of many Demonic Beasts, it's not strange for it to seek you out in its state of panic."

"Teacher, stop talking and shake it off quickly! If the Snake-people Tribe finds out that their Queen Medusa is with me, it'll be trouble!" Xiao Yan said urgently. If he had known it would be like this, he might as well have taken it away quietly.

"Hehe, relax your mind and hand your body over to me."

Yao Chen agreed, and instantly, an incredibly powerful Soul Power erupted from Xiao Yan's body, taking over control of the body from Xiao Yan.

Purple cloud patterns slowly emerged on the Purple Cloud Wings on his back; this was a strange phenomenon that occurred when the Purple Cloud Wings were pushed to their limit.

The flying speed could rival a Dou Huang expert. However, if Xiao Yan stepped into the Dou Wang Realm, the Purple Cloud Wings would become like 'chicken ribs'—tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

Xiao Yan, at the Dou Ling Realm, couldn't push the Purple Cloud Wings to their limit, but once he entered the Dou Wang Realm, the speed of his Dou Qi wings would definitely surpass a Dou Huang.

Seeing that he had left the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python far behind, Xiao Yan felt relieved. He could become invincible by following his plan; there was no need to keep a Demonic Beast like a time bomb by his side.

After a while, Gu He and the others behind him also disappeared.

Before he could rejoice, he discovered that another figure seemed to have appeared behind him.

This figure approached Xiao Yan rapidly, so fast that eight afterimages were left in the air!

The chase in the air was relentless, and the distance between them kept closing until it was about fifty meters.

"Wind Swirl Wall!"

A faint, cool shout came, and the space dozens of meters in front of Xiao Yan suddenly distorted as a wall composed entirely of cyan gales took shape.

Bone-white flames suddenly erupted from his body, halting Xiao Yan's rapid flight and causing him to stop abruptly before the wind blades.

"Hand over the Heavenly Flame. I don't know what kind of expert you are, but clearly, offending a Sixth-Rank Alchemist is not a wise choice." A calm voice rang out, as if blocking all of Xiao Yan's paths of retreat.

"Hehe, Your Excellency certainly has quite the air. Do you think you can take away the Heavenly Flame with just a single sentence?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly, turned around to Face the Black Robed Man, and took the xuan heavy ruler out of his storage ring.
