Arrogant Scorpion Biyan

"Raze the Holy City?" Cai Lin sounded as if she had heard the greatest joke. Her laughter abruptly stopped, and murderous intent surged in her beautiful eyes.

"What arrogance! A mere Three-Star Dou Zong is putting on the airs of a Dou Zun!"

Before her voice faded, a sky-shattering aura erupted from behind her!

The Snake-People Clan's Ten Great Leaders, Four Great Elders, and Kui Xing—all powerhouses released their Dou Qi without reservation,

colliding fiercely with the oppressive might of the Izumo Empire in the air!

At the same time, three figures formed Dou Qi Wings and soared into the sky.

Hai Bodong's icy Dou Qi spread, azure flames rose around Cao Ying, and Dan Chen's Soul Power was held back, ready to strike.

The combined auras of the three actually did not fall into a disadvantage!

Xie Bi Yan's expression subtly changed; the strength displayed by the Snake-People Clan exceeded his estimation.

However, his main attention fell upon Hai Bodong, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen, who were distinctly different from the Snake-People Clan. These three were clearly humans.

His gaze swept over Cao Ying, and he was first stunned by her enchanting face, which was no less alluring than Medusa's.

Then, he slightly raised an eyebrow. The azure flames emitted a threat that even he could perceive.

"It is indeed an Heavenly Flame, and it has been refined by someone."

"Little girl, don't you know about the Four Great Empires and the Snake-People Clan..." Xie Bi Yan wanted to temporarily dissuade a high-level Dou Huang who controlled a Heavenly Flame.

He planned to deal with Medusa first, and then resolve her.

Cao Ying crossed her arms and sneered, "I am not from the Four Great Empires, so you don't need to tell me that. On the other hand, you old geezer, how dare you covet my younger sister!"

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Flame you demanded to be handed over is mine!"

Hearing Cao Ying's rebuttal, Xie Bi Yan said coldly, "Then don't blame this old man for showing no mercy."

He then glanced at Dan Chen, finding nothing special about her.

Finally, his gaze settled on Hai Bodong, and his brows furrowed: "Hai Bodong? You're not dead? And you've defected to the Snake-People Clan?"

It had been a long time since he received any information about Hai Bodong, and he had presumed the fellow had perished.

Yet, he never expected to see him here?

"Have you forgotten the blood feud between the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Clan?"

Hai Bodong merely responded with a sneer, secretly transmitting a message to Cao Ying: "Miss Cao, when will Lord Shen make his move?"

Cao Ying focused intently on the standoff in the air, replying via Soul Transmission: "My husband is in seclusion, at a critical juncture.

Don't worry, if the situation becomes critical, he will naturally appear."

Having received an affirmative reply.

Hai Bodong felt reassured. Facing Xie Bi Yan's questioning, he stepped forward, his icy Dou Qi surging even more violently, showing his stance through action.

Seeing Hai Bodong ignore him, a vicious glint flashed in Xie Bi Yan's eyes. He then took a deep look at the heart-stopping azure flame on Cao Ying, his greed intensifying.

He spoke no more, slowly raising his withered hand. The terrifying pressure of a Peak Three Star Dou Zong crashed down like a tangible mountain!

"Since you are so stubborn, then... all of you shall die!"

Cai Lin clenched her jade hand in the air, Seven-Colored Dou Qi gathering like rosy clouds. She fearlessly met the overwhelming pressure and coldly shouted, "Snake-People Clan, meet the enemy!"

Cai Lin launched the first attack, forming seals with her jade hands. Seven-Colored Dou Qi boiled around her, actually condensing two massive, crimson and deep blue Sky Snakes behind her!

Water and fire are inherently incompatible, but under the harmonization of the Innate Dao Body Origin and the profound drive of the Sky Snake Legacy.

The two gigantic snakes intertwined and surged, carrying a destructive aura, tearing through the sky and charging straight toward Xie Bi Yan!

"Tricks of a minor skill!" Xie Bi Yan's pupils contracted. He coldly rebuked and violently pushed out his withered palm.

Pale purple Dou Qi transformed into a gigantic, ferocious Scorpion phantom, massive as a mountain. It swung its huge pincers, fiercely colliding with the dual water and fire snakes.

"BOOM—!!!"

An earth-shattering explosion sounded in mid-air, and violent energy ripples spread out like a tsunami.

Seven-Colored light and pale purple poisonous Qi fiercely eroded and annihilated each other, painting the sky in a bizarre, kaleidoscopic spectacle.

Xie Bi Yan's body swayed slightly. He sensed a refinement and agility in the opponent's Dou Qi that far surpassed that of an ordinary newly advanced Dou Zong.

His face finally changed: "Your power... how can it be so perfectly harmonious?!"

Cai Lin did not reply. The cold light in her purple eyes intensified, and her offensive grew sharper.

Having just received the legacy and origin, she needed a hearty battle to hone and merge them. Xie Bi Yan was the perfect whetstone.

On the other side, seeing the Ancestor blocked, Xie Shan immediately locked his gaze onto the uniquely-aura'd Cao Ying, grinning sinisterly: "Little girl, hand over the Heavenly Flame, and I'll spare your life!"

With that, his figure turned into a stream of light, rushing forward, carrying a foul wind and poisonous Qi.

Cao Ying's red lips curved into a mocking smile: "With just you?"

She didn't even move. Tapping her finger lightly, a wisp of azure flame instantly expanded, transforming into a roaring Fire Dragon.

The scorching heat distorted the space, easily incinerating Xie Shan's poisonous Qi completely, forcing him to retreat repeatedly in utter disarray.

High above, Xie Bi Yan and Cai Lin had exchanged dozens of moves.

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became.

Not only was Medusa's strength formidable, but her utilization of Spatial Power was also rapidly improving.

That bizarre Dance of the Water-Fire Sky Snakes was incredibly powerful, making it difficult for him, a Peak Three Star Dou Zong, to subdue her quickly.

"Xie Shan! What are you waiting for! Release the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion, capture that fire-controlling woman first, and then come assist me!"

Xie Bi Yan finally couldn't restrain himself and shouted sharply.

Xie Shan obeyed the command, quickly biting his fingertip and forming a strange Hand Seal. Instantly.

A fierce aura permeated the void behind him. Space fluctuated, and a massive Giant Scorpion, born with four wings, whose entire body was dark and shimmered with a metallic luster, tore through space and violently appeared!

Its aura had surprisingly reached the Peak Dou Huang level!

"Roar!" The Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion let out a piercing shriek, flapping its four wings. It and Xie Shan attacked Cao Ying simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right.

"Good timing!" Far from fearing them, excitement flashed in Cao Ying's beautiful eyes.

She waved her jade hand. The Green Lotus Core Flame changed according to her will, sometimes transforming into a sky full of Fire Rain, and sometimes condensing into a Flame Shield, completely blocking the attacks of Xie Shan and the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion.

The Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi was circulated to its extreme, allowing her to control the flames as easily as moving her own arm.

She actually managed to force two Peak Dou Huangs into a frantic mess with her power alone. The hard shell of the Four-Winged Heavenly Demon Scorpion even emitted pained sizzling sounds under the Heavenly Flame's scorching.

"Bastard!" Seeing that the battle below was still unfavorable, the anxiety in Xie Bi Yan's heart could no longer be suppressed.

He hadn't expected the Snake-People Clan's strength to increase so much, nor had he expected this woman controlling the Heavenly Flame to be so difficult to deal with.

If they dragged this out further, even if they won, it would definitely be a Pyrrhic victory.

"You forced my hand!"

Xie Bi Yan's face was filled with fury. He stomped his Staff fiercely on the void and violently tore his robes open.

As the robes ripped, a Blood-Red Giant Scorpion Tattoo appeared on his chest. This Blood Scorpion, like a living creature, was filled with a malevolent aura.

"Blood Soul Art, Blood Demon Scorpion Sovereign, Appear!"

"Back then, not long after this old man entered the Dou Zong rank, I was fortunate enough to encounter a Blood Demon Scorpion Sovereign that was severely injured and on the verge of breaking through to the Dou Zong level.

I sealed it within my body. To force this old man to use this method, you have enough reason to be proud!"

"Now, kneel before this old man!"
