Battle Through the Heavens: I had no intention of getting involved, but a yandere beauty stuck to my

A hard day

Chapter 27 Cultivation of Strange Flames

"Oh, Queen Medusa, please tell me how I can help you."

The atmosphere became awkward for a while, but Xiao Miao finally spoke up, breaking the silence.

"You will control the strange fire, and I will swallow it into my body to resist and adapt. If I can't hold on, you can take away the strange fire."

Upon hearing this method, Xiao Miao couldn't help but speak:

"Aren't you afraid I'll try to kill you in secret? Taking down the Snake-Woman Queen would be a huge achievement, or if I accidentally make a mistake and you fail to evolve, you'd be finished, wouldn't you?"

Medusa glanced at him indifferently, her beauty truly captivating, and then spoke softly:

"Since I dared to ask you for help, I naturally have enough confidence. As for resorting to assassination..."

Before Medusa could finish speaking, Xiao Miao felt four pairs of eyes staring at him. Unlike Medusa's previous attempts to conceal her gaze, this time the eyes were completely open, as if deliberately trying to make Xiao Miao aware of them.

This kind of pressure comes from four powerful individuals. Although they don't have the same oppressive aura as Medusa, they are still genuine Battle Emperors. This is the Snake-People's hidden trump card.

Xiao Miao felt the pressure and frowned slightly. No wonder the snake people tribe could survive among the major empires; they had such a foundation.

However, Medusa and the others did not know that Xiao Miao could instantly travel thousands of miles using his own bloodline secret technique; otherwise, they would not know if he would still be so confident.

However, Medusa had kept her promise and hadn't attacked him before, so Xiao Miao naturally wouldn't do such a despicable thing now.

Moreover, the power of the secret technique is far greater than this, but his current realm is too low. Even so, Xiao Miao was able to escape into the space using this technique. Only a Dou Zong could briefly influence the space and stop him.

As for whether Medusa would forcibly stop him after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, Xiao Miao had no worries at all.

With Xiao always there to back him up, things are different now; he has a powerful backer now.

"So when do we begin?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Miao shrugged and asked indifferently.

"Tomorrow morning, I need to make some preparations first. I will have someone take you back to your room later."

Watching Medusa leave after speaking, Xiao Miao nodded slightly and headed out of the hall.

"Miss, the person we requested has already been sent by the ancient clan, however..."

Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly when she heard Ling Ying stammering.

"Just say what's on your mind."

"The clan says that these two can only last for a year. If it goes on for too long and the Soul Clan finds out, it might be detrimental to you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er frowned even more deeply. Clearly, this situation was troubling her. These old fogies in the clan were just worrying. She needed to focus on her cultivation so that once she controlled the clan, no one could stop her, and no one could stop her from being with Xiao Miao.

Inside Xiao Xun'er's room, following Ling Ying's report, two figures appeared behind her; these were the people she had mentioned.

"Your subordinate, Gu Tian."

"Your subordinate, Gu Di."

The two men clasped their hands in a fist salute and knelt down, saying in unison.

Xiao Xun'er looked at the two people in front of her and asked:

"What is your strength?"

Gu Tian and Gu Di exchanged a glance, then said:

"Your subordinate is a sixth-star Dou Zong."

"Your subordinate is a Seventh Star of the Dou Zong realm."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly in satisfaction. With a cultivation level of mid-stage Dou Zong, as long as one doesn't encounter some old monsters from sects, it's enough to act recklessly in this Northwest Continent.

"You two help me find the person in the portrait. This person may usually wear a white fox mask, but other masks are also possible. The most distinctive feature is that the person under the mask has an unparalleled appearance. Even if you have to search the entire Northwest Continent, you must find him for me."

Xiao Xun'er gave the two of them a portrait of Xiao Miao, which she had drawn based on her memory. She realized it might be somewhat inaccurate, as they hadn't seen each other for several years, and then remarked:

"This person's true appearance is even more beautiful than the portrait. You will know when you see him. He last appeared at Yunlan Sect, so this place should be the focus of the investigation."

Gu Tian and Gu Di were puzzled when they heard their young lady say this, but they still obeyed the order.

"Yes."

With a chorus of replies, the two disappeared from that spot.

As the two left, Ling Ying, seeing her young mistress lost in thought again, knew she was worried about Xiao Miao, so she wisely left the room.

Xiao Xun'er raised her beautiful face with delicate eyebrows and white teeth, her eyes sparkling like a river of stars, her gaze gentle and tender as she looked at the hazy moonlight under the night sky.

The next day.

Xiao Miao pushed open the door to the side room prepared for her by the snake-people, her beautiful eyes beneath the mask gazing at the sky outside.

Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, falling softly upon the holy city. Although this place was an endless desert, it displayed a unique regional charm under the sunlight.

Unfortunately, this place is not suitable for survival; the intense heat is even less suitable for the cold and gloomy nature of the snake people.

Xiao Miao didn't dwell on it any longer. He shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and strode toward the temple from the previous day.

When Xiao Miao arrived, Medusa and the eight snake-people leaders had already arrived.

At Medusa's signal, the eight snake-man leaders retreated to the rear of the palace.

However, despite sensing Xiao Miao's presence, the eight people did not leave but remained waiting outside the hall, suggesting they did not trust him.

As Medusa looked at him, Xiao Miao nodded slightly and summoned the Xuanhuang Flame in his hand.

Medusa looked at the strange fire in his hand, and a trace of fear flashed in her phoenix eyes. The person in front of her was only a Dou Wang, but he had given her a great sense of threat with his strange fire. This strange fire was indeed a treasure of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, her snake-human race had a cold and yin attribute, which was incompatible with this natural treasure.

However, judging from the man's previous attack, he used ice-attribute battle qi, so it's hard to know how he managed to subdue this strange fire.

Xiao Miao, of course, was unaware of Medusa's thoughts, and waved away the strange fire in his hand.

Medusa then stopped thinking about what was going on in her mind and caught the strange fire that Xiao Miao was sending.

Feeling the scorching heat in her hand, Medusa was secretly alarmed. Although she knew that Xiao Miao was by her side and could dissipate the strange fire in time if something went wrong, she was still somewhat terrified. After all, if she made a mistake, she would only perish.

Medusa no longer hesitated, gently closed her phoenix eyes, and swallowed the delicate fire lotus in her hand.

Instantly, her beautiful face contorted into a ferocious expression. Although she had prepared herself, the violent energy of the strange fire exploded everywhere the moment she swallowed it, and she could only rely on her own Dou Huang-level Dou Qi to contend with it.

No matter how much one cultivates externally, the internal body remains vulnerable. In the struggle between the strange fire and the battle qi, even a tiny spark that ripples through the body is unbearable.

Xiao Miao, watching Medusa's originally calm face instantly contort into a ferocious and twisted expression, her entire body contorting and rolling on the ground, was startled. He was not only amazed by Medusa's audacity but also deeply impressed by her perseverance.

As Medusa's tragic state unfolded, the feeling that had been watching Xiao Miao yesterday returned. It seemed that the four Dou Huang experts were afraid that Xiao Miao would secretly kill them and wanted to use their power to warn him.

If their queen is murdered or killed, he will be buried with her.

Suddenly, Xiao Miao saw the gesture Medusa made on the ground, and his heart stirred slightly. He dispersed his fighting spirit, causing the strange fire surging within her body to instantly dissipate.

Chapter 28 Auction Venue?

Xiao Miao had already withdrawn the strange fire, but looking at Medusa covered in blood, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

Sure enough, if you don't have the strength to swallow a strange fire, there's no good outcome. Even Medusa, at the peak of the Dou Huang realm, suffered the same fate. Xiao Miao once again marveled at his own good fortune.

Medusa, supporting her severely injured body, forced herself to take out a pill from her storage ring and swallow it. As Xiao Miao sensed, her aura began to slowly recover. Although the effect was not obvious, she was no longer as weak as before.

That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow.

Xiao Miao nodded as he listened to Medusa's weak words, and then left.

Otherwise, those four old men would keep staring at me, which, although I wasn't afraid, was still very annoying.

As Xiao Miao left, an old snake-woman appeared in the hall.

One person helped Medusa heal her wounds, while the other looked in the direction Xiao Miao had left, and then spoke:

"There are so many strange things about this kid. Putting aside how he, with only ice attributes, managed to subdue the strange fire, have you noticed that we can't even detect his battle aura unless he makes a move? It's incredibly strange."

Upon hearing this, another old woman who was healing Medusa replied in the same way:

"That's true, but let's focus on healing our wounds first and not worry about that human for now."

After glancing at Medusa, who was healing, the old woman turned away from the doorway and became her protector.

Instead of returning directly to the house, Xiao Miao wandered around the holy city after leaving.

In Xiao Miao's eyes, this holy city of the snake people tribe was not much different from the towns within the Gama Empire.

However, most of the snake people he encountered along the way cast hostile glances at him, and the few he did encounter were merely indifferent and calm.

If you're trying to say they're hospitable, then you can only say there's absolutely no connection.

To prevent what happened before from happening again.

Medusa announced Xiao Miao's strength and his portrait in the Holy City yesterday. To put it bluntly, he is just a human wearing a white fox mask. So no one is foolish enough to provoke him.

Although Xiao Miao could also use props to conjure a snake tail, he now felt there was absolutely no need for it.

Firstly, given his current strength, no one in the snake-people tribe could stop him. Secondly, Xiao Miao felt that no matter how much he transformed his snake tail, it wouldn't be as comfortable as using his own legs.

As he heard the sound of a snake's tail scraping against the ground behind him, Xiao Miao turned around to look back.

The snake-woman who arrived was Yue Mei, one of the eight snake-woman leaders.
