Jiang Cheng walked toward the distance step by step.
Every time his foot landed, ripples would undulate in the void.
When the ripples vanished, his figure had already appeared a hundred meters away, extremely mysterious and extraordinary.
Hai Bodong’s mouth twitched, and he said in surprise, “Kid, have you advanced to Dou Zong?”
“Hehe, actually, I am already a Dou Sheng.”
However, these words made Hai Bodong laugh.
Although he knew Jiang Cheng was exceptionally talented, wanting to break through from a Nine-Star Dou Wang to Dou Sheng in eight years was simply more absurd than killing him.
Seeing that Hai Bodong was unwilling to believe him, Jiang Cheng no longer explained much.
To believe is true, to disbelieve is false; the eyes of the worldly could not be changed.
The Snake-People Tribe was located in the depths of the Tager Desert.
The temperature here was extremely high, and even Dou Huang powerhouses did not want to stay here for long.
Back then, the Snake-People originally lived in the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Central Plains.
For some unknown reason, they were exiled to the Tager Desert of the Jia Ma Empire.
Because the bloodline of the Snake-People was cold, living in the Tager Desert was simply torture for them.
By nightfall, the two reached an oasis.
This was the only oasis that could be found in the Tager Desert.
Being able to live here was definitely the happiest thing.
Just as they walked in, a cool breeze hit their faces, dispelling all the previous scorching heat from their bodies.
Jiang Cheng looked at the surrounding Snake-People statues and knew he had arrived near the Snake-People’s palace.
Back then, it was here that he ran into Queen Medusa while she was bathing.
At that time, Queen Medusa had charged directly at him wanting to gouge out his eyes.
Thinking back on it now, he still felt a lingering fear.
Hai Bodong swallowed his saliva.
Naturally, he was a bit afraid after being beaten by Queen Medusa back then, so he did not dare to provoke her again: “That…
Jiang Cheng, I will wait for you here.”
Seeing Hai Bodong like this, Jiang Cheng did not force him.
He nodded lightly and walked elegantly toward the location of the Holy Pool.
Just as he arrived, he could already feel the aura coming from ahead.
Moonlight cast slanting shadows, and fierce fires burned atop the surrounding stone pillars.
Not only that, the water in the Holy Pool began to boil violently as if it were being cooked.
A powerful shockwave instantly destroyed all the surrounding trees.
The surging energy swept in as if it had the chance to swallow heaven and earth at any moment.
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and looked up, placing his hands behind his back as he said, “Hello, Miss.
We meet again.”
In mid-air, a woman appeared whose beauty reached a near-demonic level of seductiveness.
The woman had a pair of long, narrow lavender eyes.
As her gaze flowed, her natural charm was almost enough to pull in every man’s vision.
She was dressed in a graceful purple brocade robe.
Beneath the robe, her delicate body was full and exquisite, like a mature peach, exuding a faint allure.
Her long black hair fell casually from her fragrant shoulders, hanging down to her slender willow waist.
Beneath the brocade robe, a section of a purple snake tail was revealed.
The snake tail swayed slightly, creating a wild, seductive attraction that made people feel mysteriously hot all over.
The newcomer was the Queen of the Snake-People, Medusa!
Medusa’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she stared at the young man below.
Looking at his attire, combined with the perfect outline of that boy in her memory, she suddenly realized who he was.
She immediately said angrily, “It’s you again, you lecher!”
“I have a name; my name is Jiang Cheng and I am not a lecher.
Miss calling me that is truly impolite.”
Jiang Cheng’s finger moved slightly, and the flying boulders and broken wood were tossed aside by him.
“The matter back then was a pure misunderstanding.
I had no intention of seeing the Queen’s exquisite skin, but unfortunately you wanted to…”
“Shut up!”
Queen Medusa’s eyes were filled with ferocity.
Even though so many years had passed, she still remembered the lecher Jiang Cheng who trespassed into the Snake-People’s Holy Pool!
Jiang Cheng rubbed his nose.
The matter back then was indeed an accident; he didn’t expect her to still remember it after eight years.
Queen Medusa’s slender fingers moved slightly, and a blast of wind erupted from the forest beside Jiang Cheng, slamming fiercely toward Jiang Cheng’s back.
Sensing the sudden wind from behind, Jiang Cheng only calmly extended his right hand, casually opened his folding fan, and fanned it out with a light touch, neutralizing all of Queen Medusa’s attacks.
“You aren’t a Dou Wang?!” Queen Medusa asked with a moved expression.
“Eight years in an instant, Queen Medusa, what do you think?”
Queen Medusa frowned.
As the Queen of the Snake-People, she could also feel that this little fellow’s cultivation had undergone earth-shaking changes.
There was not a single Dou Wang who could escape from her hands, except for this fellow Jiang Cheng.
He was even able to leave the Tager Desert silently.
From this, she could determine that this child was exceptionally gifted.
If he could not be used by her, he should be killed in the cradle as soon as possible!
Jiang Cheng seemed to guess Queen Medusa’s thoughts and spoke immediately, “If I were you, I would not do something foolish that leads to the destruction of the Snake-People Tribe.
The current you is not my opponent.”
Queen Medusa clenched her fists.
However, indeed, she did not make any further movements.
At this time, she could already feel the violent power emanating from within Jiang Cheng’s body.
It felt as though if she acted, he could destroy her Snake-People Tribe at any moment.
Presumably, Queen Medusa did not want the Snake-People Tribe to be destroyed.
Jiang Cheng placed one hand behind his back and said, “Coming here today is not for revenge for the pursuit back then.”
“Oh?” Queen Medusa raised an eyebrow and asked, “Then what are you doing here?
Since when has the Snake-People Tribe become a tourist attraction for you humans, where you can come and go as you please?!”
“Hehe, Queen, please calm down.”
Jiang Cheng said softly, “Coming here today, I want to obtain the Heavenly Flame from the Queen’s hands.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to become solidified.
Blood-red Dou Qi was like a surging river, and the falling leaves, upon touching the red Dou Qi, were turned into dust and vanished into the world.
Jiang Cheng stepped lightly on the ground with his right foot.
The blue bricks of the entire floor developed a wide area of cracks visible to the naked eye, then completely exploded!
Splashed debris could be seen everywhere.
Queen Medusa said with a strange expression, “It’s one thing for you to come alone, but you actually brought that bastard along too.
What, do you two want to repeat the mistakes of the past?”
The bastard she spoke of was naturally the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!
Hai Bodong was hiding behind a rock feeling a bit awkward.
It seemed there was still some of Queen Medusa’s Dou Qi from back then remaining in his body; otherwise, she wouldn’t have discovered his position.
“Hehe, Queen, there is no need to mind.
I am just fulfilling an old agreement with Hai Lao.”
