Breaking the Masked Man

A Snake-Man warrior suddenly ventured deep into the Monster Mountain Range of the Gama Empire, where he fought a great battle with the overlord, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and then stayed there for more than half a month. It's hard not to wonder if the Snake-Man race and the Amethyst Winged Lion King have joined forces.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King is the overlord among sixth-tier magical beasts. Ordinary Dou Huangs are no match for it. It has three fifth-tier lion kings and more than a dozen fifth-tier magical beasts under its command, not to mention countless fourth-tier magical beasts. In addition, there are a large number of low-tier magical beasts. If it were to unite with the Snake-Man race, it would be a disaster.

Yao Yan remained calm and said, "There is a connection, but this is just a misunderstanding. We have no ill intentions towards the Jia Ma Empire, and this trip is just a passing through."

"It's good that there's a connection! I'd also like to ask, what is the relationship between this Snake-Man Clan's Battle Emperor and Queen Medusa?"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Jia Lao ignored Yao Yan and went straight for Cai Die, coldly questioning her. He didn't remember the snake-woman being so powerful, so her identity was almost certain!

What he could think of, Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin could naturally think of as well, and even more. For example, the two of them silently ventured into the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire, which seemed to be related to the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!

Butterfly shook her head violently, denying it outright: "I have no relation to Queen Medusa, I am just an ordinary snake woman."

After saying that, she glanced at Yao Yan with a charming look, raising her eyebrows as if to say: Aren't I clever?

Yao Yan silently gave him a thumbs up.

Chapter 71 Reasonable

Ordinary snake people?

A snake-man at the Douhuang level could never look like an ordinary snake-man.

Cai Die's lies undoubtedly made these three fighting kings look like monkeys, but she was completely unaware of it and thought she had successfully lied. Her playful appearance really amused Yao Yan, who couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. Especially when he saw the old man's expression gradually darken, he found it very interesting.

At the same time, he admired the courage of the three. Despite only having the strength of a Dou Wang, they dared to stop a Dou Huang and even question him. Not everyone has this kind of courage.

In theory, three Dou Wangs working together could indeed rival a Dou Huang, but this is ultimately just theory. In reality, very few Dou Wangs would do something as foolish as fighting a battle beyond their level, because the gap between the two sides is all-encompassing. A Dou Wang fighting a Dou Huang is undoubtedly dancing on a knife's edge. A Dou Huang can fail countless times, while a Dou Wang only needs to fail once, and he is very likely to be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

However, the three people's attitudes also indirectly confirmed one thing.

The infamous reputation of Butterfly's older sister had not yet fully spread throughout the entire Gama Empire. In the original story, if the three Battle Kings had known that the visitor was Queen Medusa, they would have turned tail and run away without hesitation.

"Ordinary snake people? Why deceive yourself, Your Majesty? I am no child; I will judge the truth with my own eyes!"

With a dark expression, Elder Jia snorted coldly. He felt that Queen Medusa in front of him was too arrogant. Did she think that just because she had the strength of a Dou Huang, she could run rampant in the Jia Ma Empire? Did she really think that there were no strong people in the Jia Ma Empire who could match her?

Cai Die blinked her bright peach blossom eyes, glanced innocently at Yao Yan, and muttered softly, "Young Master, what if he doesn't believe me? I've already explained myself very seriously."

"That only shows that the other party is unreasonable. When faced with unreasonable people, you can try to resolve the issue with force. As long as you subdue them, they will obediently listen to you. Then, whatever you say, they will believe without a doubt!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Yan pondered for a moment, then seriously analyzed the current situation and offered valuable suggestions.

Cai Die pursed her lips, her soft eyes looking at the three Dou Wangs in front of her. She hesitated a little because she felt that these three people were not very strong. What if she couldn't hold back and killed them?

She was never one to kill indiscriminately; she preferred reasoning to killing.

Think of this.

Cai Die looked at Yao Yan and asked, "Young Master, can we not fight? I'm worried we'll kill them... Or, perhaps we should try to reason with them; maybe they'll listen?"

Why does she speak in such a gentle tone, yet say such infuriating things? Is she a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Yao Yan felt that she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, so she didn't speak again, nodded, flew to the side, and signaled that the butterfly could continue.

With the young master's approval, Cai Die's confidence soared. But before she could say anything, she noticed that the three people in front of her didn't look too good, especially the old man in front of her, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent. This made her words become intermittent: "Um... can we not fight? I'm really not Queen Medusa!"

She clasped her hands together, revealing a playful, pleading expression, which, combined with her stunningly beautiful bare face, was irresistible.

However, the combination of this beauty and her own aura as a Battle Emperor made it seem a bit terrifying!

Old Jia took everything in, his eyes twitching wildly. If he still couldn't see that the other party was 'playing a trick on him' at this moment, then he would have lived in vain at the age of seventy-six!

Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin exchanged a glance, both knowing that things couldn't end well today. The other party's attitude was far too playful, showing no intention of talking and completely disregarding the three of them. They, on the other hand, couldn't let 'Queen Medusa' leave and allow her to penetrate deeper into the Gama Empire!

"Nalan Jie, Xiao Lin, help me hold him off. I have already informed His Majesty, and he will arrive as quickly as possible!"

Suddenly, an old man had a communication jade tablet in his hand. As he finished speaking, he crushed the tablet. At the same time, a surge of Dou Qi at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou King erupted from his body, causing his temperament to change drastically. His originally gentle face became sharp, and he stared coldly at Queen Medusa and Yao Yan.

"?!"

Yao Yan was mostly watching the show, and even when he heard the other party call out names, he didn't feel much, because the strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire was only Jia Xingtian, a peak Dou Huang. As for the other Dou Huangs, Jia Xingtian couldn't command them. But he didn't expect the other party to call out two very familiar names, which made him look at the two middle-aged men.

Nalan Jie... Nalan Yanran's grandfather.

Xiao Lin... Xiao Yan's grandfather.

It's true what they say, "You can search high and low and find it right under your nose..." Yao Yan's initial spectator mood vanished instantly. His eyes flickered, and he tapped Cai Die on the head, laughing as he said, "They clearly don't want to reason with you and are preparing to fight. You can have the strongest nine-star Dou Wang, and I'll take care of the other two!"

As he spoke, the purple cloud wings on his back trembled slightly, and he shot out.

"Do it!"

Old Jia roared, not relaxing in the slightest despite the aura of a Great Dou Master emanating from Yao Yan. The other party's attitude had already explained everything. It was impossible for a Great Dou Master to meet three Dou Kings so easily, especially since the speed he had shown earlier was extremely exaggerated and should not be underestimated!

Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin didn't need any prompting; they unleashed their Dou Qi one after another. One was a six-star Dou Wang, and the other was a seven-star Dou Wang. Their strength was considerable!

"Mid-level Profound Rank Battle Skill - Qiankun Shield!"

Old Jia gave a low shout in his heart, formed a hand seal, and a round, dark yellow shield several feet in diameter instantly condensed in front of him, blocking the three of them.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, Yao Yan had already arrived in front of the three of them. Without any intention of dodging, under their gaze, one of his arms turned bronze and silver spots flashed. He slammed his fist heavily onto the Qiankun Shield, and terrifying power poured out, directly blasting apart the fighting technique condensed by a nine-star Dou Wang!

This scene caused the three of them to shrink their pupils slightly, unable to believe that this was real. Old Jia had once blocked a Xuan-rank Dou Technique of a three-star Dou Huang with this move!

How could they be so easily defeated!

But the reality was cruel. Yao Yan only paused for a moment before rushing in and kicking out. The violent force sent Jia Lao flying hundreds of meters through the air before he came to a stop. And then something even worse happened. Cai Die unleashed the powerful battle qi of a seven-star Dou Huang with perfect coordination, immediately launching a battle technique with astonishing destructive power.

A gigantic, dark blue serpent, several tens of feet long, appeared out of thin air and, under the control of the colorful butterfly, lunged at Old Jia, who had not yet regained his footing.

Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin felt a chill run down their spines at the sight. Neither of them had expected Yao Yan's strength to be so terrifying, and the Medusa Queen was even more ruthless, just as rumored!

At this moment, she was nowhere to be seen as gentle and beautiful as before.

But there was no time for them to think. Yao Yan threw a punch at each of them from a distance, the powerful force of the punch turning into an air cannon that directly smashed the two of them down from the sky.

"boom!"

In the sky, the giant, dark blue python also bit the old man, and then it exploded into a burst of violent energy, turning half of the sky purple-blue, which was quite spectacular!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 72 A World Where People Eat People

The violent energy dissipated, and the sky returned to its azure blue.

A figure resembling a broken doll fell from the center, its aura extremely weak, seemingly missing an arm and unconscious. It fell with a wisp of smoke, finally crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Cai Die realized she had gone a bit too far, but remembering Yao Yan's instructions, she flashed over to make sure the other party was truly incapacitated, just in case.

She was smart enough not to make the same mistake twice.

As for Yao Yan, he had already entered unparalleled mode, unilaterally crushing the two Dou Wangs.

After obtaining the Purple Cloud Wings flying combat technique, Yao Yan's last weakness was made up, and his flight agility greatly increased. Even the fastest Dou Wang couldn't keep up with him. In addition, since he didn't need to consume Dou Qi and could attack purely with strength, he forced the two of them to not even have a chance to release their combat techniques.

Every time they gathered some fighting spirit and tried to unleash a fighting technique, Yao Yan would interrupt them with a punch, forcing the two of them to keep defending.

"boom!"

With a muffled thunderous roar, Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin were knocked down again, crashing heavily to the ground.

Nalan Jie could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. His right arm hung limply, clearly broken. He stared at the monstrous-looking boy in the sky, who, despite only having the cultivation of a Great Dou Master, possessed a body as strong as a sixth-order magical beast and ridiculously powerful strength.

The strangest thing is that the opponent seems to know when he is about to release his fighting skills. Whenever he has accumulated enough fighting spirit, the opponent will always throw a punch to interrupt his accumulation process.

Unfortunately, he was not as fast as his opponent, so he could only passively take hits and couldn't fight back at all. Ordinary fighting techniques couldn't even break through his opponent's defense.

Xiao Lin was no better off than Nalan Jie. His only advantage was his strong bones, which prevented his arms from being broken. He even swallowed the blood in his mouth. Feeling the numbness in his arms, he looked up at the boy in the sky, smiled bitterly, and surrendered with his hands clasped: "I admit defeat and will submit to your will!"

He knew that if the fight continued, the two of them would definitely be beaten to death. If their opponents hadn't been so ruthless, they would probably be lying dead by now.

"Brother Xiao?!"

Nalan Jie stared at Xiao Lin in shock. He hadn't expected the other party to admit defeat. How could he admit defeat? He couldn't do it even if it meant death!

Xiao Lin shook his head at him, then looked at Yao Yan and said in a deep voice, "You are not from the Jia Ma Empire. This must be a misunderstanding!"

Judging from Yao Yan's strength and age, the other party could not possibly be from the Gama Empire. Furthermore, if that snake woman were truly Queen Medusa, why would she willingly follow a human man? It was all just their wishful thinking and conjecture.

Now that he's been beaten up and is facing a death threat, his mind has naturally cleared up.

Brother Xiao?

Yao Yan's smile deepened as he stared at Xiao Lin and teased, "When I try to reason with you, you want to talk about force. Now that you can't beat me, you want to reason with me again. You people from the Jia Ma Empire are really interesting."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jie's face turned red and his neck thickened; he felt a surge of irritation.

Xiao Lin sighed helplessly, offering no rebuttal and calmly awaiting his fate. In his judgment, the other party should not have intended to kill him; from beginning to end, they had been playing with him like a cat catching a mouse.

Yao Yan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to the two of them and said with a smile, "Whether I kill you or not is up to me, but since this has happened, I have to leave you some money to buy your lives. Give me your storage rings."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Lin removed the storage ring from his index finger and tossed it to Yao Yan.

Nalan Jie hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and tossing the storage ring to Yao Yan.

Yao Yan's soul power swept over the two of them and then disappeared into their storage rings. The two storage rings were not high-level storage rings and did not contain soul imprints. They could be opened by flushing them with battle qi. What he saw inside made him fall silent, because they were really poor, even worse off than a Battle Spirit mercenary from Shennong Mountain.

He wasn't interested in things like the Purple Gold Card. True powerhouses rarely cared about money; everything was done through barter.
