Chapter 350 Battle against Medusa

Jing Chen turned around and smiled at Medusa, saying, "Then, Queen Medusa, make your move."

Medusa didn't waste any words with Jing Chen, instantly appearing in front of him and striking at his face with a claw-like hand. Jing Chen slightly tilted his head, dodging Medusa's attack. Medusa then grabbed horizontally again, and Jing Chen's figure vanished from her sight.

"Queen Medusa, even though I lied to you once, you can't just keep hitting me in the face, can you?" Jing Chen's voice came from behind Medusa.

Although Medusa was somewhat startled, she still turned around and lashed out with her claws. Jing Chen did a backflip and jumped directly onto the cave entrance.

After exchanging only two moves, Medusa had already gauged Jing Chen's approximate strength, which was at least at the Dou Wang level. Whether he had reached the Dou Huang level or not, they would have to fight to find out.

Jing Chen looked down at Medusa, who was standing there with a serious expression, and smiled slightly. Medusa had been the one who made the move, and now Jing Chen was retaliating—a tit-for-tat exchange, after all.

Jing Chen flashed and appeared directly above Medusa's head. He clenched his right hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his hand. He then slashed down from above.

Medusa reacted quickly, jumping back a step. However, Jing Chen's attack hadn't stopped yet. The instant Medusa jumped back, Jing Chen followed up with a sweeping attack. Seeing that she couldn't dodge it, Medusa drew her bow and blocked Jing Chen's blow. However, Jing Chen's attack was not that simple.

Another Jing Chen appeared to Medusa's right, delivering a vertical slash directly at her. Medusa jumped back, and as soon as she landed, Jing Chen reappeared behind her, sweeping her attack across the back.

Medusa was somewhat unnerved by Jing Chen's relentless attacks. These clones' attacks largely anticipated Medusa's next move, keeping her constantly on the defensive.

However, she saw Jing Chen's true form ahead. Jing Chen was standing there without moving an inch, yet so many clones were attacking her.

Although Jing Chen's strength wasn't high, Medusa could clearly sense the immense power carried by the sword. Medusa dared not act rashly and could only passively dodge.

As soon as Medusa landed on the ground again, four clones instantly appeared around her, completely blocking every possible escape route for her.

With nowhere to hide, Medusa unleashed her battle aura, and all her clones vanished. Having dealt with these troublesome clones, Medusa looked up at Jing Chen not far away. She saw a slight smile on Jing Chen's lips, and while she was still wondering what was happening, Medusa suddenly witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Jing Chen had already sheathed his sword, but his hands were burning with black flames! Medusa, being a Dou Huang, naturally recognized it; this was... the number one on the Strange Flame Ranking, Dark Flame!

Now it was Jing Chen's turn to be confused. Why did everyone recognize his Dark Flame? This was a bit much, wasn't it?

"Dark Flame is already number one on the Strange Flame Ranking, who doesn't know that? Anyone who has paid attention to the Strange Flame Ranking knows Dark Flame." The system's voice came out at this moment.

Jing Chen was already used to the system suddenly appearing and inexplicably criticizing him. He could just remain speechless for a moment; otherwise, the system would go even further. Sure enough, after saying that, the system fell silent.

"So you possess the Dark Flame, ranked number one on the Strange Flame Ranking. No wonder you dared to say such things. However, even if you have the Dark Flame, I will still take this person with me today!"

Having said that, Medusa gathered her battle aura, and a giant, rose-red serpent appeared behind her. Jing Chen smiled slightly, "Since I dared to unleash my Dark Flame, I naturally can't let you take her away. After all, I still don't know her background, and I promised her I would help her regain her memories."

The dark flames rapidly expanded, and a giant black dragon coiled around Jing Chen, its blood-red eyes fixed on Medusa, and then on the giant snake behind Medusa.

"I..." Medusa stopped halfway through her sentence. There were some things she couldn't say all of, as that would be detrimental to her and the entire Serpent Clan.

Jing Chen also said, "I don't care whether you know her background or not, but I won't believe anything you say. After all, in the desert, the human heart is always a mystery, especially since you are a snake-people and I am a human."

Medusa fell silent, but after a moment, her eyes hardened. She looked at Jing Chen and said, "You're right. Therefore, I will take them away with my own strength!"

"Okay!" Jing Chen's eyes also became resolute.

Both of them knew that the upcoming battle would be fought with all their might, and the slightest mistake could be fatal! Jing Chen didn't want to die, and Medusa naturally didn't want to either.

As the two moved, the crimson serpent and the black dragon shot out simultaneously, colliding in mid-air before becoming entangled and rising into the sky. Jing Chen and Medusa also engaged in direct combat.

Although the two were vastly different in strength, Medusa was surprised to find that Jing Chen's strength was actually comparable to hers even without using Dark Flame? How could this be? Even a genius couldn't possibly challenge someone so many levels above them, right? Moreover, Medusa herself was considered a genius, so it was even more impossible for her to challenge someone so many levels above her.

Medusa had also suspected that Jing Chen had used some other means to temporarily enhance her strength. However, such strength was ultimately not her own, and using it would certainly not be so easy. Moreover, strength enhanced through special methods would eventually run out.

Furthermore, Jing Chen is currently engaged in battle with her, and his battle energy has been significantly depleted; logically, it should have been exhausted long ago. Yet, Jing Chen seems to be getting more and more excited as the fight progresses.

The two finally parted ways, Medusa and Jing Chen flying in the sky, looking at each other. In the distance, the battle between the dragon and the serpent had also ended. In the end, the serpent was no match for the dragon and was swallowed whole before disappearing.

The outcome of the other battlefield was already decided, leaving only the fairy and Jing Chen in their fight. Looking at the pair of wings on Jing Chen's back, Medusa realized that Jing Chen truly possessed a great many treasures. It seemed Jing Chen was truly unafraid of anyone trying to steal his treasures or kill him.

Jing Chen smiled slightly, "Now it's time to settle this."

Medusa simply nodded slightly. Both of them were preparing for the final blow. Jing Chen's left hand had already condensed a Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and his right hand's Xuanyuan Sword had also prepared its strongest move, the Warrior Soul Ring, Sword Slash!

Medusa was also ready. A gust of wind blew by, and the two collided directly in mid-air.

……

Jing Chen led Cai Die into the first city. Cai Die's snake tail had disappeared, replaced by a pair of long, slender legs. Jing Chen had the system help him with this, allowing Cai Die to transform into human form before her metamorphosis.

Jing Chen is now a Dou Shi (Battle Master). After he figured out how to convert soul power into Dou Qi (Battle Qi), his strength improved very quickly.

As Jing Chen entered the city, he glanced back at the desert behind him before stepping inside...
