The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Now, suspended amidst Yun Yun and the other four, Queen Medusa held a powerful surge of her own battle qi, enveloping a bright, shimmering, and dancing blue flame. This flame, shaped like a blue lotus, constantly surged and struggled within Queen Medusa's slender hand, attempting to burn through the layer of battle qi surrounding it. However, this layer of battle qi belonged solely to Queen Medusa, was under her control, and was continuously replenished with battle qi, replenishing the energy layer being burned away by the blue lotus flame. Therefore, the blue lotus flame could only struggle within it, unable to break free.

As for the beautiful and alluring Queen Medusa, due to the significant depletion of her battle qi energy, coupled with the extremely intense burning power of the lotus-shaped flames, even with her powerful battle qi protection, Queen Medusa's slender, white jade-like hand was still scorched until the skin was torn and bleeding profusely.

When she came out just now, it was because of this that her strength was affected. If it weren't for suppressing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in her palm, she probably wouldn't have been able to stop her with the opponent's lineup alone. Even so, Queen Medusa was extremely confident that the opponent's four eight- or nine-star Dou Wang level experts and one two- or three-star Dou Huang level expert were not enough to stop her.

"A elixir? What I need? Okay, tell me, what is it?" Queen Medusa frowned slightly. The powerful burning force of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in her jade hand was truly formidable. It required at least 50-60% of her own battle qi to suppress it, otherwise the flame would very likely break through the energy barrier and escape. Moreover, she had already expended too much power to subdue this Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in the magma core beneath the desert. Now was not a good time to act. Therefore, she wanted to see what price the other party was willing to pay.

"One Grade Six Transformation Pill, four Tier Four Demon Cores and two Tier Five Demon Cores, plus the Pill King Guhe's promise to refine medicine three times for free. How about this price?" Yun Yun, her entire body concealed beneath a black robe, parted her red lips slightly, revealing a tempting offer that could drive almost every cultivator in the Jia Ma Empire mad. Leaving aside others, even someone as noble as her, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, would be extremely tempted upon hearing this offer; it was simply too alluring.

However, now that she possesses half of the Phoenix Flame, and has a deep understanding of the world-destroying power of the flame, she is still tempted by it. But she also knows that this half of the Phoenix Flame was given to her by that hateful guy. Without him, none of those things would have happened in the Monster Mountain Range... Whenever she thinks of this, Yun Yun gets furious, her emotions are complicated, and she hates him so much that she wants to take revenge on that boy. It's just that she can't find him.

After understanding the power of the strange fire, she realized that compared to the conditions offered by Gu He, it was nothing at all. After all, there are very few strange fires in the world, and they are hard to find. Even Gu He, who stands as the Pill King in the alchemist world of the Jia Ma Empire, was willing to pay a huge price and owe a considerable favor in order to find one.

"Heh..." Queen Medusa sneered. "A mere sixth-grade Transformation Pill and five or six fifth- or sixth-tier magic cores think you can exchange them for the strange fire in my hands? What a fool's dream. Pill King Gu He, is it? Go back and tell him not to cause any more trouble, or don't blame me for storming the capital of the Gama Empire to settle accounts with him." As Queen Medusa spoke, a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. She was the stunning queen who was famous throughout the Tagor Desert, and no one dared to defy her fearsome reputation. In the Gama Empire, there were still rumors from decades ago. A second-rate family in the capital of the Gama Empire had offended her out of ignorance. Queen Medusa single-handedly stormed into the capital, and overnight, this once glorious family disappeared from the capital. Since then, Queen Medusa's fearsome reputation had spread throughout the entire Gama Empire.

Queen Medusa, a renowned and beautiful queen of the Negama Empire, had naturally heard of the name Dan Wang Gu He. His status as an alchemist capable of refining fifth-grade pills made him highly respected, with countless people lining up to curry favor with him. Although she had never sought his help to refine medicine, Queen Medusa had certainly heard of Dan Wang Gu He's fame.

Even so, Queen Medusa showed no respect for Dan Wang Guhe. First, they had never crossed paths before. Second, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was crucial to that secret technique that allowed for advancement; without it, nothing would work. How could Queen Medusa willingly give up such an important path to cultivation and advancement? Within their snake-people clan, there had always been a saying passed down from their ancestors: the Dou Huang level was almost the limit that the snake-people could reach. Several generations of snake-people kings had died without ever hearing of anyone breaking through to the Dou Huang level; the chances were incredibly small.

It could even be said that Queen Medusa was the one among these people who had reached the highest level of strength. There were only one or two snake-people kings who broke through to the Dou Huang level, and at most they were only two or three stars. Unlike Queen Medusa, who had cultivated to the highest peak of the Dou Huang level, the nine-star peak Dou Huang level!

She is the queen of all the snake people, with the fastest talent and cultivation speed.

Of course, their strength is also the strongest.

Chapter 108 Encounter

For a Douhuang-level powerhouse, what is most attractive right now? Undoubtedly, it is strength itself. Therefore, even though the conditions offered by Danwang Guhe were extremely tempting and made Queen Medusa quite interested, these were all insignificant in the face of an unprecedented opportunity to advance her strength. Therefore, she decisively refused.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was quite surprised. However, for her, who now deeply understood and possessed the world-destroying power of the Strange Fire, this was understandable. If it were her, even if the Pill King Gu He had promised so many great benefits, even if she knew how terrifying the Strange Fire was, she would still hesitate. After all, the Strange Fire was something that could not be touched. If one could control it, that would be fine, but if one was not careful during the process of devouring and refining it, one would be devoured by it and burned to ashes, which would be a great loss.

As for the half of the Phoenix Flame she now possessed, she was completely confused about what happened while she was unconscious. She had no idea what was going on, or how she ended up with half of the Phoenix Flame after waking up. She was completely clueless about all of this.

Little did Yun Yun know that Xiao Xuanyuan had nearly lost his own life to save her. Not only had he risked his life to rescue her from those demonic beasts, fighting for their lives, but even later, when he was treating her poison, the Dragon-Phoenix Flame almost broke free of its seal within him—a truly dangerous situation. Xiao Xuanyuan had narrowly escaped death several times. It could be said that for Yun Yun, Xiao Xuanyuan had almost risked his life, putting his life on the line multiple times.

Yun Yun, however, was unmoved. All she remembered was that the damned bastard boy had possessed her before she was able to fuse with that half of the Phoenix Flame. Thinking of this, Yun Yun sighed softly, her thoughts a jumble of complex emotions.

"Do you know how precious a sixth-grade Transformation Pill is, and what it means? And what about the three free pill refining sessions offered by Pill King Guhe?" Yun Yun asked in return.

Watching from afar, upon hearing these conditions, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly. In the Jia Ma Empire, these conditions were undoubtedly enough to make many powerful figures willing to risk their lives for them. However, regarding the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly, curled his lip, and said, "That's just wishful thinking. To think you can exchange these for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is too low a price."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've got some taste, kid. You recognized the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in that woman's hand at a glance." Inside the ring, the old man said with considerable surprise.

"Of course, I once saw it in a booklet when I was a child. It said that there are twenty-three kinds of strange flames on the Dou Qi Continent, and it also included a record describing their appearance and graphics. So I naturally recognized it at a glance." Xiao Xuanyuan's mind raced, and he made up another excuse to get by.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, lad. I've noticed that you seem to know more about the affairs of the Dou Qi Continent than I do." Yao Lao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said with great suspicion, "You saw through my origins at a glance earlier. In our journey together, I've discovered a special advantage of yours: you are extremely steady and decisive. There are also many things you seem to know a thing or two about. Tell me, lad, is that right?"

Hearing Yao Lao's suspicion, Xiao Xuanyuan remained calm and innocently said, "No way, you must be overthinking it. I don't remember anything from before. You said you know my background, but when was that? I have no recollection."

"You brat..." Old Yao flicked his sleeves and said irritably, then ignored him. He knew, of course, that no matter how young Xiao Xuanyuan was, and how immature he looked, dealing with him was like dealing with an old fox he had known for many years; he couldn't get much out of him at all.

"Yeah, how could I remember something that happened so long ago? It wasn't anything major like my woman, so I just don't remember it." Xiao Xuanyuan decided to play innocent to the end. Anyway, he really didn't remember much. He only remembered that it seemed to have happened before, but he couldn't recall the specific details.

Seeing that Xiao Xuanyuan only said he didn't remember, the old doctor didn't make things difficult for him. He just shook his head helplessly. This little guy had never surprised him from the beginning and had never played by the rules. It was really hard for the old doctor to figure out his true nature.

Queen Medusa rejected Yun Yun's conditions without hesitation, causing Yun Yun's embroidered eyebrows to furrow slightly. When she was repaying the favor to Dan Wang Guhe, Dan Wang Guhe had already anticipated this. He had instructed her that if she could obtain the Strange Fire by offering great benefits, that would be fine, but if she couldn't, she should help him seize the Strange Fire even by force.

In fact, recently, Dan Wang Guhe happened to be out in the Tagor Desert looking for medicinal herbs to refine medicine. He happened to pass through Shimo City and this place. At that time, he was extremely sensitive to flames and noticed something unusual in the vicinity. The fire element was particularly strong. Moreover, he happened to encounter Queen Medusa emerging from beneath the desert. Therefore, he was certain that there must be a strange fire buried beneath the desert. That is why Yun Yun and her group came out to risk their lives for Dan Wang Guhe.

As for Dan Wang Gu He, he was still on his way from the rear, delayed by the purchase of a medicinal herb. Moreover, he was only at the Dou Wang level, primarily cultivating alchemy, so his actual strength was somewhat lacking.

"Does Your Excellency really not want to reconsider? The conditions we have offered are extremely generous. If you are not satisfied, we may be able to discuss it further." Facing Queen Medusa, Yun Yun had already tested her approximate strength. It could be said that she herself was not very confident in dealing with her. However, things had come to this point, and if Queen Medusa did not hand over the strange fire in her possession, she would have no choice but to take action.

"Get out of my sight! You have no right to run wild in the Tagor Desert." With that, Queen Medusa withdrew her other jade hand, and powerful battle aura began to gather in it. It seemed that if Yun Yun and the others did not leave, she would make her move.

"Since that's the case, then we'll have to offend you." Upon seeing this, the storage ring glowed slightly, and a strange longsword inlaid with jade-like patterns appeared in Yun Yun's hand. Then, her figure vanished in a flash, and she reappeared in front of Queen Medusa, slashing at her with her sword.

The four Dou Wang level experts following Yun Yun were equally quick. After Yun Yun made her move, the four of them grabbed their weapons and rushed forward, attacking Queen Medusa.

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter 109 The Strength of Queen Medusa

Queen Medusa had anticipated their attack. Even though she was using almost half of her strength to suppress the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, they were still not qualified to defeat her or take her life.

Her inner fighting spirit had already gathered, and with a cold shout, a powerful force surged from her jade hand, blocking Yun Yun who suddenly appeared beside her. Her slender jade hand tightly gripped the strange longsword that had appeared earlier, and the direction of the sword's edge was aimed directly at Queen Medusa's chest.

With a single strike, Yun Yun intended to kill Queen Medusa! However, it was clearly unrealistic. Both were Dou Huang level experts, but Queen Medusa had reached the peak of the nine-star level, while Yun Yun had only recently broken through to the four-star level. Moreover, this was all thanks to Xiao Xuanyuan in the Monster Beast Mountain Range. Without his help, it would have been impossible for Yun Yun to break through to the three-star level in a short period of time. Even though she had recently reached the peak of the three-star level and touched a bottleneck, it would probably take her two or three months to advance.

This was all because Xiao Xuanyuan deliberately gave Yun Yun half of the Phoenix Flame, and during their intimate moment, he gave Yun Yun most of the benefits. Therefore, it was impossible for Yun Yun not to advance.

Given the disparity between the two, even with Queen Medusa currently restrained by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which has reduced her strength by half, Yun Yun cannot harm her for the time being.

Clang!

Yun Yun's strange longsword seemed to strike a piece of hard iron, resisting the grip of Queen Medusa's claws.

"With just a few of you! Don't even think about getting the Strange Fire!" Queen Medusa sneered, and with a flick of her hand, a tremendous force accompanied by a powerful energy fluctuation emanating from her battle aura sent Yun Yun and her strange longsword flying.

The four Dou Wang level experts who followed Yun Yun unleashed all their fighting techniques, but before they even reached Queen Medusa, they were all repelled and sent flying by the force of the fighting energy fluctuations.

With a single strike, all five who attacked almost simultaneously were sent flying. This demonstrates the unfathomable strength of Queen Medusa, a peak nine-star Dou Huang.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. Queen Medusa's strength was truly terrifying! Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. She could suppress the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame with one hand, yet still sweep away Yun Yun and the other four with a single blow. It had to be said, Queen Medusa's strength was indeed formidable! As for being terrifying, that was something a certain important figure had said—the ability to transform battle qi into a horse was notoriously terrifying!

The thought was somewhat amusing, and Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but recall some memories from his previous life. He momentarily paused, then chuckled.

"This snake-woman is indeed quite skilled. If I were to face her, it would take me some effort to subdue her." The old doctor, who had been observing from the outside with his soul perception, nodded slightly and stroked his white beard thoughtfully.

"Of course, Queen Medusa is a notorious ruthless ruler in the Tagor Desert. Every mercenary and civilian in the Tagor Desert who sees her is terrified and runs away as fast as they can. They all wish their parents had two more legs so they could run a little faster." Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and tease Yao Lao.

"Then why don't you run? Hurry up and run, hurry up and run for me, what are you still standing here for?" The two of them were used to teasing and joking with each other, and Yao Lao was so angry that he couldn't help but blow his beard and glare at him as he asked.

"Run? Where can you run to?" Xiao Xuanyuan spread his hands helplessly and continued, "Besides, isn't it you, sir, who's here? If you think you're weak and can't even handle that woman, then as long as you admit defeat and give me a definite answer, I'll turn around right now and get as far away as possible from that woman. I don't even want the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame anymore, as long as you're sure."

"Alright, alright, do you think I don't know your tricks? You want to provoke me into making a move? You'd better think about it. If it weren't for your foolishness, I wouldn't have bothered coming to this godforsaken place." Yao Lao understood the meaning behind the words immediately. Having spent so much time with Xiao Xuanyuan, he knew what kind of person this guy was. He just wanted to provoke him into making a move so he could snatch the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame for him. Even if Xiao Xuanyuan hadn't said anything, he would have done it anyway. After all, he had traveled thousands of miles to the Tagor Desert just to find a different kind of flame for Xiao Xuanyuan to devour.

Xiao Xuanyuan understood what Yao Lao meant. Although the old man usually seemed a bit sarcastic, he was quite capable when it came to taking action. So he stopped talking and silently watched the battle unfold.

After being forced back by the attack, Yun Yun and the other four did not suffer any serious injuries. Apart from her, the other four only felt some turbulence in their dantian and blood. They quickly steadied themselves and rushed forward together again.

Queen Medusa had no time to waste on these few dawdling figures. After defeating the five opponents with a single blow, she vanished in a flash before everyone's eyes and appeared in front of a Dou Wang-level expert in the blink of an eye.

After Queen Medusa vanished in an instant, Yun Yun was shocked, and her figure disappeared as well.

Upon seeing the figure before him, the Dou Wang-level expert's face paled in shock. His hands moved rapidly, quickly forming several defensive light shields in front of him before he retreated swiftly, attempting to escape. But how could his speed compare to Queen Medusa's?

Queen Medusa's lips curled into a cold smile as she reached out her free hand and gently grabbed forward. The defensive light shield hastily erected by the Dou Wang level expert shattered instantly, as fragile as paper.

Click!Click!

With a series of clear, crisp sounds, Queen Medusa's jade-like hand, as if pinching a chick in mid-air, suddenly grabbed the throat of the Dou Wang level expert and lifted him up tightly. The Dou Wang level expert struggled continuously, changing hand seals, trying to launch a Dou Technique attack at Queen Medusa.

Before he could even make a move, Queen Medusa sneered and twisted her jade hand slightly. With a crisp sound of bones breaking, the Douhuang-level expert who was about to launch a fighting technique attack immediately slumped down like a dead pig, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he instantly fell silent.

Queen Medusa flicked her hand, sending the corpse flying.

Having just dealt with this person, Queen Medusa frowned, and the colorful serpent tail hanging below her buttocks suddenly swung behind her. A clanging sound of metal clashing rang out, and Yun Yun's figure instantly appeared from there. The strange longsword in her hand struck Queen Medusa's long serpent tail.

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter 110 Yun Yun's Defeat

When the two powerful Douhuang-level experts met, neither of them held back and they engaged in a fierce battle in the air.

Clang clang clang~

The swords clashed, producing a series of metallic clangs. In the blink of an eye, Yun Yun and Queen Medusa were fighting in mid-air. The two women each displayed their best fighting techniques, and colorful battle auras drifted and scattered, constantly colliding and spreading, creating a beautiful sight.

Yun Yun was secretly annoyed that she had been a step too late. Otherwise, a Dou Wang level expert would not have died at the hands of Queen Medusa. However, Queen Medusa was strong and had struck first, which was the difference between the two women.

Seeing Yun Yun make her move, now locked in a fierce battle with Queen Medusa, the remaining three Dou Wang level experts hesitated for a moment before gritting their teeth and making up their minds to step forward and help Yun Yun.

Before setting off, Guhe had made numerous promises and offered substantial rewards. People are willing to die for wealth, just as birds are willing to die for food. This is what convinced them to take action. Otherwise, as powerful individuals of their caliber, they would have been prominent figures in the Gama Empire, even if they didn't perish. They could have lived a carefree life for over a hundred years. Why would they come to this godforsaken Tagor Desert to invite trouble or risk their lives?

All of this is for the sake of advancing in strength and for the various great benefits promised by Guhe. Under the temptation of great benefits, there will always be brave men. This is an unchanging law throughout the ages!

Yun Yun, a three-star Dou Huang, along with three other Dou Wang-level powerhouses, faced off against Queen Medusa, the queen of the snake-people tribe in the Tagor Desert, who was also the only and supreme ruler of the snake-people tribe.

Queen Medusa's battle aura is predominantly yin and cold, while Yun Yun's battle aura is wind-attribute, making her attacks extremely swift. Even though Queen Medusa's level is several levels higher than hers, it would be extremely difficult for her to capture Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, in a short time. After all, she still has to control and suppress the "Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame" that she just extracted from the underground magma, and her journey has also consumed a lot of her power. She is not at her peak right now, so it is not possible for her to capture Yun Yun and the others in a short period of time.

Behind Yun Yun, a pair of thin, dreamlike azure wings unfurled. In her hand, she held an incomparably sharp, strange longsword, her battle aura constantly surging within her. Her slender figure shifted and crisscrossed in the air as she engaged in a fierce battle with Queen Medusa's enormous figure, which was revealed from time to time.

The trembling waves spread outwards, like ripples on water, continuously radiating outwards from the two women as the center of their fierce battle. The surrounding air and the desert surface were constantly bombarded by the surging aftershocks of their battle energy.

Three powerful warriors at the Dou Wang level launched attacks from all sides from time to time, sneaking up on Queen Medusa in the center to harass her and reduce the pressure on Yun Yun in the battle.

"Queen Medusa's strength is truly terrifying. She fought a Dou Huang and three Dou Wang all by herself, and she also had to distract herself from suppressing the resistance of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Based on this strength alone, she truly deserves her title as the number one powerhouse in the Tagor Desert." Hiding far away under a sand dune, secretly watching the battle in the air, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but nod slightly, his heart filled with shock.

"That goes without saying. Queen Medusa is the queen of the snake people. She has now reached the peak of the Dou Huang level. She is just one step away from advancing to the Dou Zong level." Yao Lao nodded in agreement, his words full of admiration for Queen Medusa.

However, after a moment's thought, he frowned and asked in confusion, "The snake-people's physical attributes tend towards yin and cold, so why would Queen Medusa want to seize the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame? This is the most powerful collection of energy in the world, a special existence, and its attributes are opposite to the snake-people's physical attributes, mutually restraining each other..."

“Since she wants this Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, she must have her own use for it.” As a transmigrator, Xiao Xuanyuan was naturally very clear about Queen Medusa’s intentions. Hearing Yao Lao’s doubts, he rolled his eyes and gestured.

"...Could it be that the legend is true? Yes, yes, only in this way can the snake people of the snake-people have such a low chance of reaching a higher level..." Suddenly, Yao Lao remembered a rumor he had heard before.

"What legend?" Xiao Xuanyuan feigned ignorance, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"When the snake-people reach the limit of their own attributes, then..."

Before Yao Lao could finish speaking, a change occurred on the distant battlefield. After Yun Yun unleashed "Extreme Wind: Meteor Strike," Queen Medusa first knocked away the other three Dou Wang level experts, who spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Then, she forcefully clashed with Yun Yun. Instantly, an extremely dazzling energy light shone between heaven and earth. Even with the upgraded "Eye of Heavenly Punishment," Xiao Xuanyuan's vision was still affected for a moment, causing him to lose focus and be unable to see the scene before him.

Boom!

Then, after Xiao Xuanyuan's vision returned, a massive explosion resounded throughout the land. Xiao Xuanyuan felt his eardrums nearly shatter, and his battle qi unconsciously circulated into his ears to protect them. Then, a huge mushroom cloud roared up from the spot where Yun Yun and Queen Medusa were fighting, soaring high into the desert sky. Such an apocalyptic scene was extremely rare, if not uncommon. Even the people in Stone Desert City, about ten kilometers away, could hear the deafening roar and see the rising mushroom cloud.

"Be careful!" Yao Lao's reaction was not slow either. As the huge energy aftershock dispersed, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame quickly spread out from the ring, covering Xiao Xuanyuan's entire body to cover his aura and block the sweeping energy aftershock.

Ignoring everything else, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes widened, staring intently at the figure in the distance, that graceful figure that haunted his dreams. He swore he was extremely nervous. He didn't want anything to happen to this woman!

Of course, Xiao Xuanyuan was also tempted by the beautiful and domineering woman who looked no less stunning than Yun Yun, and even more voluptuous. However, for Yun Yun, who was already his woman and with whom he had consummated their marriage, Queen Medusa was definitely no match.

This is a heavy responsibility, and also Xiao Xuanyuan's deep-seated love for Yun Yun...
