On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Outside the cave.

Zhou Zhenxiong is suspended in mid-air.

With his hands behind his back, he exudes an air of superiority.

However, he was already making his own plans.

He came here to establish his authority.

As a newly promoted four-star Martial Emperor, he needs to find a worthy opponent to practice against and, incidentally, to intimidate these arrogant beasts.

The injured Medusa was the perfect target.

Just then.

The forest below suddenly exploded.

A beam of red light shot into the sky, raising a cloud of rubble and dust.

Followed by.

A giant, beautiful snake appeared in sight.

It must be said that Medusa's appearance is truly exceptional.

That face was alluring to the core; even with a cold expression, it was impossible not to want to look at it a few more times.

The snake's tail is a bit of an eyesore now, especially since it's broken off; it looks rather pitiful.

Medusa.

Zhou Zhenxiong sneered.

"You've finally come out?"

"I thought you were going to hide in that rat hole for the rest of your life."

Medusa hovered opposite, her eyes cold.

She's in a bad mood right now.

Very bad.

My body aches, but I feel even more frustrated.

They had nowhere to vent their anger on their master.

Now look what's happened, someone actually came to cause trouble.

"Humans".

Medusa parted her crimson lips slightly, her voice icy cold.

"This is the forbidden area of ​​Xuefeng Mountain, not your human backyard."

"Get out, and I can let bygones be bygones."

"ha?"

Zhou Zhenxiong laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

The laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.

Pointing his own nose back,

"Let bygones be bygones?"

"Medusa, don't you understand what's going on?"

"Now it is you who have violated the peace treaty between the human and demon races."

"You killed someone in the human city!"

"I'm here to demand an explanation, not to play house with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhenxiong's aura exploded once again.

boom.

The pressure from the four-star Martial Emperor was like a tsunami, sweeping over Medusa and crushing her.

In an instant, the surrounding air howled and became incredibly viscous; even the light began to distort, creating a terrifying scene.

Fortunately, he was facing Medusa, who was also at the Martial Emperor level. Otherwise, if it were any other lesser demon, their bodies would probably have collapsed under this pressure.

I know you're injured.

Zhou Zhenxiong spoke again coldly.

"If you know what's good for you, just surrender and come back to the provincial capital with me to face trial."

"otherwise……"

boom.

Another muffled sound.

Between Zhou Zhenxiong's palms, a ball of crimson flame began to condense, radiating intense heat.

This flame is the flame of the laws.

It is a manifestation of mastering the laws of fire.

"Otherwise, I, the chairman, will skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and turn you into snake soup!"

Medusa listened to Zhou Zhengxiong's incessant chatter with icy eyes, clearly impatient.

Ha ha.

Trial?

Snake soup?

Is this idiot out of his mind?

Do you really think I'm a pushover just because I'm injured?

"Since you want to die..."

Medusa suddenly closed her eyes.

The next moment, a sharp shout rang out.

"Then go die."

He suddenly opened his eyes!

boom.

His pupils, which were originally as black as ink, turned deathly gray in an instant.

The innate supernatural power—Medusa's gaze!

break out!!!

"Buzz!"

An invisible fluctuation.

Without any warning or sound, it instantly spread out in a fan shape from Medusa as the center.

The speed is ridiculously fast.

There is no such thing as a "starting stance".

Start with 0 frames.

Let's see how you defend against it.

Zhou Zhengxiong, who was preparing to display his great power and capture Medusa for interrogation, still had a cold smile on his face.

"you……"

He had only uttered one word.

The grayish-white wave swept over, covering the entire body.

hum.

Another muffled sound.

In an instant, Zhou Zhenxiong felt his whole body stiffen.

This is not simply rigidity.

Rather, it is a deathly stillness that originates from the depths of the soul.

Zhou Zhengxiong's expression changed drastically. He couldn't help but look down and watch as the flame that was still burning in his palm instantly solidified, turning into a grayish-white stone flame.

Followed by.

It's his clothes.

Skin, even eyelashes...

Everything turned to gray and white, petrified.

"Click click click..."

In the blink of an eye.

Zhou Zhengxiong.

The arrogant president of the Jiangnan Province, a four-star Martial Emperor.

Right there in mid-air, it transformed into a lifelike stone sculpture!

He just kept that commanding posture.

then.

With a "thud," it fell straight down from the sky.

silence.

The entire room fell silent.

The little monsters hiding below and peeking were all dumbfounded and utterly shocked.

I rely on.

Damn it.

That's... that's it?

That incredibly powerful human martial emperor turned to stone just because the empress glared at him?

That's incredible!

however.

Before they could even cheer.

The "stone sculpture" that had fallen to the ground suddenly trembled.

"Snap!"

A crack appeared on the face of the stone statue.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread rapidly throughout his body.

"Bang!"

Stones exploded and flew everywhere.

Zhou Zhenxiong's figure reappeared.

However, he was no longer as arrogant as before.

Instead, his face was deathly pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were tattered, torn by petrification.

That last moment.

Although he forcefully broke through the petrification seal with his profound cultivation.

But the feeling of being on the verge of death, the pain of having all the meridians in his body blocked, almost scared him to death.

What the hell is this talent?

Without any warning!

There was no energy fluctuation whatsoever!

Whoever gets petrified when you glare at them?

Even if he is a four-star Martial Emperor.

Faced with this bizarre supernatural power, they didn't even have a chance to react!

If it had been just one second later...

If it had been just a second later, his heart would probably have turned to stone!

"monster!"

Zhou Zhenxiong was terrified.

He glanced at Medusa, who was still suspended in mid-air.

That look in his eyes held no trace of contempt, only fear.

This woman is too weird!

The injury was so severe.

If he were in his prime, that last blow would probably have sent him straight to meet the King of Hell!

"Can't afford to mess with them! Time to run!"

Zhou Zhenxiong is also a decisive person.

face?

What's the point of saving face if you're dead?

Without saying a word, he turned and ran.

"Whoosh!"

He transformed into a streak of light, exerting all his strength as he raced towards the outside of the mountain without looking back.

That speed was more than twice as fast as when it came.

It disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Only a harsh word, trembling in his voice, echoed in the valley:

"Medusa! You just wait! This isn't over!"

Watching that fleeing figure.

The gray-white in Medusa's eyes slowly faded, turning back to black.

"puff!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He almost fell from mid-air as well.

This move, though a natural talent, is still a huge burden for her now.

She was able to defeat her enemy with a single move entirely because of the element of surprise.

Otherwise, given Medusa's current condition, fighting a four-star Martial Emperor would likely be a life-or-death struggle.

"snort."

After regaining her balance, Medusa wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"We'll wait then."

"Next time you come, I'll really turn you into a stone and put you as a door god at the cave entrance!"
