Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Queen Medusa spoke these extremely heartless words slowly and coldly in the astonished gaze of Yan Luotian.

"The punishments he suffered were far less than the sufferings my snake people endured. If you want to do it for me, that's fine. It will also save Yunshan and Jia Xingtian from having any grudges."

"As for Yun Xiao, she deserves it. As the daughter of Yun Lan Sect, she deserves to be punished for the sins committed by the Yun Lan Sect managed by that woman. This is called retribution."

As Queen Medusa finished speaking, Yun Leng's sense of guilt reached its peak, and a feeling of despair also surged in his heart.

It was because of what he had done to the snake people that Queen Medusa ignored Yun Xiao so much.

He had committed a crime, but Yun Xiao had to bear the consequences.

Yun Leng wanted to pray to Queen Medusa, but his conscience prevented him from opening his mouth.

I have harmed the snake people in the past, how can I have the face to beg her now?

As Queen Medusa said, this is karma.

"you?!"

Yan Luotian didn't expect Queen Medusa to say such cruel words, but when he thought about it carefully, it was true.

Why does Queen Medusa care about the life and death of Yun Leng and Yun Xiao?

Just as Yan Luotian was stunned, the hand that was pressing against Yun Leng's head unconsciously moved away.

At this moment, Queen Medusa's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. Xie Bi Yan reacted immediately, turned his head and yelled at Yan Luotian.

"Be careful!!!"

However, his voice was nowhere near as fast as Queen Medusa's!

Bang! ! !

Before Yan Luotian could react to what happened, he felt a heavy blow on the head and his body flew hundreds of meters to the side. This sudden blow almost killed him who was already seriously injured!

This sudden scene not only stunned Yun Leng, but even Yao Chen was stunned. She was just about to beg Queen Medusa to rescue Yun Xiao for Xiao Yan, but she never expected that she would do it herself.

Yan Luotian circulated the fighting spirit in his body, stood up tremblingly, took out the pill from the ring with difficulty and swallowed it. Xie Bi Yan also stood in front of him to protect him, staring at Queen Medusa who appeared in front of Yun Leng. The jade arm that slowly lowered showed what had just happened.

It’s not that he and Yan Luotian have a good relationship, but tomorrow’s plan is very important, and Yan Luotian, such an important fighting force, must not die here.

After taking the pill, Yan Luotian's ugly expression improved slightly. He hid behind Xie Bi Yan and glared at Queen Medusa with resentment.

Because of what Queen Medusa said just now, he really thought that Queen Medusa didn't care about the lives of Yun Leng and Yun Xiao!

"You treacherous woman! Why did you help me if you didn't care?!!"

“Help them out? Who do you think I am?” Queen Medusa looked at Yan Luotian indifferently and said calmly, “What I said just now was not false at all. I really hope they die in your hands.”

Queen Medusa glanced coldly at Yun Leng as she spoke. Yun Leng's body trembled again and again when he saw her murderous eyes. Then Queen Medusa turned around and looked at Yan Luotian again.

"But for Xiao Yan's sake, it's okay for me to save this little girl's life. I can also do that woman a favor."

"For this king, this is a very good deal, that's all."

Uh, is Queen Medusa considered tsundere?

Chapter 460 Trapped

Xie Bi Yan glanced at Yan Luotian behind him, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

How should I put it? It's pure luck that someone like Yan Luotian could become a Dou Zong. Maybe it's because the Luoyan Empire is too comfortable.

Otherwise, an idiot like Yan Luotian, who would let down his guard at the mere words of his opponent, would have been doomed long ago in the treacherous Izumo Empire.

In terms of national style, the Izumo Empire is definitely the most insidious one in the northwest continent. This insidiousness is not what the people of the Izumo Empire want, but they have to become insidious.

In the Izumo Empire, the word "trust" has never existed. Even brothers, sisters, parents and children cannot be fully trusted. People are always on guard against everyone around them. This is how they survive.

However, let’s not discuss Yan Luotian’s problem for now.

Xie Bi Yan once again turned his gaze to Queen Medusa, who was eyeing him covetously, and his heart was extremely heavy.

Judging from the current situation, if we continue to fight, nothing good will happen.

Yun Leng and Yun Xiao were protected by Medusa, and Xiao Yan also had Yao Chen on his side. Xie Bi Yan could feel that even if Yao Chen really couldn't beat him, he could still delay him for a while. If he forced his attack on Xiao Yan, it would most likely leave a loophole for Queen Medusa.

(There is no other way, just let them go.)

Xie Bi Yan made up his mind. He turned his head slightly and whispered to Yan Luotian.

"You set up that thing, and I'll hold Medusa back."

"That thing?!" Yan Luotian was shocked, "But that is..."

"That thing is just an insurance policy. It may not be used in the plan. Besides, it is not a waste to trap Medusa and that kid here."

As soon as Xie Bi Yan finished speaking, Queen Medusa flashed in front of Xie Bi Yan, her jade hands turned into claws, like the fangs of a poisonous snake, and she aimed at Xie Bi Yan's head and grabbed it fiercely.

"What are you talking about?!"

Xie Bi Yan reacted immediately, and the black poison covering his arms suddenly collided with Queen Medusa's sharp claws, causing the surroundings to shake violently again.

When Yan Luotian saw the two people confronting each other again, he suddenly stepped back and took out a black disc from his arms. The disc was covered with disturbing blood-red runes.

Yao Chen, who was finishing the work of clearing the toxins from Xiao Yan's body, saw Yan Luotian's actions and suddenly felt uneasy. He no longer hesitated and yelled at Queen Medusa.

"Medusa! Destroy what Yan Luotian is holding!!!"

"Um?!"

Queen Medusa, who was confronting Xie Bi Yan, looked sternly. She saw Yan Luotian's movements over Xie Bi Yan and immediately burst out with strength to throw Xie Bi Yan aside. She then rushed towards Yan Luotian with her jade feet.

"Don't think about it!"

Xie Bi Yan once again stood in front of Queen Medusa and blocked her way. This made Queen Medusa and Yao Chen more certain that the black disc in Yan Luotian's hand was definitely not a good thing.

However, with Xie Bi Yan blocking the way, Queen Medusa couldn't rush over no matter how much she wanted to. Yao Chen was now at the last moment of clearing the poison from Xiao Yan and couldn't get away. He could only watch Yan Luotian inject his fighting spirit into the black disc.

However, in just a few seconds, the black disc that absorbed Yan Luotian's fighting spirit suddenly turned blood red. Yan Luotian's expression also became arrogant, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

"Queen Medusa! You just stay here obediently for a while!"

Yan Luotian crushed the blood-red disc in his hand, and the strange red runes crawled all over his arms. Then Yan Luotian squatted down and pressed his hands heavily on the ground. The blood-red runes crawled from Yan Luotian's arm to the ground, and in just a blink of an eye, they covered the area within a hundred miles.

Is this a sealing barrier? !

Yao Chen, who was well-informed, immediately recognized what it was. Queen Medusa was also distracted for a moment by this sudden change. Xie Bi Yan seized this opportunity to withdraw, and quickly formed seals with his dry hands. The black fighting spirit condensed in front of him in an uncomfortable form.

"Black Poison Prison!"

The black fighting spirit quickly flowed and wrapped Queen Medusa tightly. Xie Bi Yan clasped his hands together, veins bulged on his face, and he roared while sealing Queen Medusa.

“Ten seconds!!!”

Before Xie Bi Yan finished speaking, Yan Luotian, who had just cast the sealing barrier, flashed in front of Yun Leng and slashed at Yun Leng, who had no time to react.

Puff!

"Uhhhhhhhh!!!"

Yun Leng let out a miserable wail. There was no mercy in Yan Luotian's eyes. He took advantage of the moment when Yun Leng couldn't help but let go because of the pain and hid Yun Xiao from his arms.

"You're lucky. I'll come back and deal with you later."

Yan Luotian held Yun Xiao in one hand and glanced coldly at Yun Leng. He turned around and was about to leave when a voice that frightened him to the core sounded in his ears with terrifying power.

"Flame Devouring Wave Ruler!!!"

Yan Luotian suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan who was rushing towards him with bloodshot eyes. His heart couldn't help but stop for a moment.

Has this kid recovered? ! !

Yan Luotian immediately dodged Xiao Yan's earth-shattering attack. Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, and hundreds of black chains burst out of his body and rushed towards Yan Luotian.

Although Xiao Yan was chasing him so frantically, Yan Luotian could see that, at most, his life was no longer in danger as Yao Chen had just cleared the toxins in his body. He was still seriously injured, and all his actions now were just a last-ditch effort.

In this case, there is no way he can defeat himself.

This information made Yan Luotian's eyes flash with a red light. When he was about to take action, Xie Bi Yan's roar woke him up.

"Yan Luotian! Don't cause any more trouble!!!"

Yan Luotian's heart was suddenly shocked.

Two seconds left!

"withdraw!"

Yan Luotian picked up Yun Xiao and immediately fled out of the reach of the blood rune. Seeing Yan Luotian leaving, Xie Bi Yan also followed him. The next moment after Xie Bi Yan turned around and left, Queen Medusa, who was imprisoned in the black poison prison, broke out, her golden snake eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Queen Medusa stepped on the void, biting Scorpion Bi Yan's body tightly. In a blink of an eye, she caught up with Scorpion Bi Yan, wrapped her arms with a fighting spirit snake, and smashed hard on Scorpion Bi Yan's unprotected back.

Bang! ! !

"Um?!"

Queen Medusa looked stunned, staring blankly at the blood-red wall in front of her that blocked her attack.

What is this stuff? !

Xie Bi Yan and Yan Luotian were standing outside the wall at this time, and Xie Bi Yan breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

"This woman is so scary. She almost stayed here."

Xie Bi Yan slowly turned his head, looked at the empty space behind him with a sinister gaze, and murmured coldly.

"You should stay here quietly until this barrier dissipates."

Then Xie Bi Yan turned his gaze to Yan Luotian. After seeing Yun Xiao in his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yan Luotian.

"Let's go."

Xie Bi Yan's figure suddenly disappeared here, Yan Luotian also left with Yun Xiao, and the plain fell into deep silence.

At this time, inside the blood-red wall, Queen Medusa gathered all her strength and punched the blood-red wall hard again and again, causing constant waves in the space wrapped by the blood-red wall.

However, despite such a powerful attack, the blood-colored wall remained standing. Not only did it not show any cracks, it did not even tremble.

"Damn it! This damn thing!"

Queen Medusa cursed angrily and raised her arms to hit the wall again when Yao Chen's voice slowly came.

"Stop it, that wall can't be broken by force."

"what?!"

Queen Medusa turned her head and looked at Yao Chen, her eyes full of displeasure. Yao Chen's figure floated to her side, and his translucent jade hand gently stroked the wall.

"There are two types of barriers. One has an upper limit on its endurance. Continuous attacks will consume the barrier's durability. Once the barrier's durability is completely consumed, it will break. The stronger the attack, the faster it will break."

"But this barrier belongs to the second situation."

"The rules have been set in advance. As long as the rules are not broken, the barrier will always exist. You can only ignore it if your strength far exceeds that of the person who cast the barrier."

Yao Chen's words made Queen Medusa's face darken and she said coldly.

"So what are the rules of this wall?"

"The purpose of their casting this barrier is to delay time, so the most likely possibility is that they set a time limit rule." Yao Chen retracted his hand and said lightly: "This kind of rule-based barrier is quite difficult to cast. With their abilities, they can only hold on until tomorrow at best."

After hearing Yao Chen's words, Queen Medusa was silent for a while and said in a gloomy voice.

"So according to you, we can only leave after the barrier dissipates automatically tomorrow?"

"That's it."

Yao Chen responded softly, turning around and floating towards Xiao Yan and Yun Leng.

Yun Leng's arm had just been cut off, and Xiao Yan, at the moment when he had cleared the poison from him, risked his serious injury and forced himself to overdraw his Dou Qi to stop Yan Luotian, causing his condition to worsen. Now he is unconscious on the ground and unable to move.

Queen Medusa looked at Yao Chen who was not panicking at all, and was also infected and calmed down. She crossed her arms and whispered sarcastically.

"Looking at you, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

"If something is impossible, it is impossible. There is no point in being anxious." Yao Chen responded in a deep voice, his brows knitted tightly, "What we are more concerned about now is why they have to take Yun Xiao away."

This is the most strange thing for Yao Chen. Listening to the previous conversation between Yan Luotian and Yun Leng, they kidnapped Yun Xiao in order to let Yun Leng arrange something secretly, probably a formation or something like that. It would be more convenient for Yun Leng to arrange such troublesome things than for outsiders like them.

But if that was the case, then his goal should have been achieved. Why did he have to take Yun Xiao away at such a critical moment, even at the risk of being left behind by Queen Medusa?

Yes, if they planned to launch a general attack on Jia Ma Holy City and Yun Lan Sect tomorrow based on the three-year agreement, Yun Xiao would be more or less a hostage.

But is this hostage really worth the risk?
