People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 138: The Changing Landscape of Offense and Defense (Bonus Chapter)
The moment Queen Medusa finished speaking, the surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing point. Her voice was devoid of any warmth, as if it came from the deepest abyss.

Early in the daytime, Zi Yan rushed back to Canaan Academy like a whirlwind, and told Elder Su Qian about the crisis that night.

Queen Medusa originally thought that she was just helping Chen Xiao out of consideration for Zi Yan.

But when she hid in the shadows and witnessed Chen Xiao's life-or-death battle with the three from Demon Flame Valley, watching him repeatedly teeter on the edge of life and death, a strange ripple stirred in her heart.

Especially the moment Mo Tianxing made his move, the usually cold and aloof Queen's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, an unnamed rage rose from the bottom of her heart, and killing intent surged out like a tidal wave, almost drowning her reason.

Coupled with the constant urging from the incompletely fused soul of the little Devouring Python within her, she could no longer restrain herself. In a flash, she appeared in front of Chen Xiao, her aura as powerful as a Dou Zong expert faintly visible, radiating a chilling aura.

Seeing the alluring figure that suddenly appeared and blocked Chen Xiao's path, Mo Tianxing's expression turned serious. Just as he was about to speak, a chill ran down his spine.

He turned around abruptly and saw a white robe fluttering in the night wind. Elder Su Qian stood with his hands behind his back, his silver hair gleaming coldly in the moonlight. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes revealed a chilling killing intent.

With a casual wave of his hand, the head of the inner court of Canaan Academy caused ripples to spread in the void. Invisible energy waves spread out like a tide, blocking Mo Tianxing's retreat route from both the front and the back, together with Queen Medusa.

"Sect Leader Mo, you seem to be in high spirits, leading your men to ambush a few juniors so late at night?"

Su Qian's voice was gentle, yet it made the hairs on the back of Mo Tianxing's neck stand on end.

Whether it's Queen Medusa or Su Qian, their cultivation levels are slightly inferior to Mo Tianxing's. If it were a one-on-one fight, he would not be afraid at all.

However, with two Dou Zong powerhouses appearing at the same time, even someone as strong as Mo Tianxing felt a deadly threat.

At this moment, Mo Tianxing, who thought he was the one who had benefited, realized that the roles of offense and defense had been reversed!

Now, let alone reclaiming the Bodhi Incarnation Saliva, even the possibility of escaping unscathed has become a problem.

Mo Tianxing's Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed the horror in his heart and forced himself to remain calm.

He quickly realized that tonight's ambush might have been a setup from the very beginning!

These two Dou Zong powerhouses have probably been hiding for a long time, waiting for him to become their prey.

In this way, the confident demeanor of Chen Xiao and the other two can be explained!

Mo Tianxing's expression changed several times. He turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "Sect Master Chen, this is probably a misunderstanding. I led my men here only because I was attracted by the battle fluctuations here. I had no intention of targeting Sect Master Chen."

Chen Xiao glanced at Mo Ya, Elder Qi, and the others who were seated in the four directions, and gained a deeper understanding of the Black Emperor Sect Master's face.

Given the current situation, how can you still have the nerve to say it's a misunderstanding?

Shaking his head slightly, Chen Xiao chuckled and with a flap of his wings, he arrived at Queen Medusa's side.

"Mo Tianxing, you are indeed flexible, but from the moment you left the battle qi mark in the Bodhi incarnation saliva, it was destined that our relationship could not be resolved amicably."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao ignored Mo Tianxing's ashen face and finally focused on the alluring figure beside him.

Queen Medusa exuded a cold aura, but in Chen Xiao's eyes, the killing intent flowing around her clearly concealed complex emotions that even she herself was unaware of.

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear.

As a semi-outsider, he knew Medusa Queen's fate better than anyone else.

The Medusa queens of the Serpent People throughout history, if they did not die alone, would devote their entire being to one person, remaining faithful until death.

Chen Xiao and this Medusa Queen were certainly not at that level yet, but he had seen the woman completely naked when she was evolving.

Later, due to an accident, there was skin-to-skin contact.

This was absolutely unacceptable to every Medusa queen who valued chastity above all else.

If you want to end the inner conflict and struggle, and get past this hurdle, there are only two choices.

Either kill Chen Xiao to prove their innocence.

Alternatively, try to accept this special connection until one day, he takes responsibility.

Previously, due to Chen Xiao's identity, the arrival of the Cao family, and the invisible influence of the Little Devouring Python, Queen Medusa was unable to muster any murderous intent.

Under these circumstances, even if she doesn't admit it, the second option has already quietly taken root in her heart.

That's why, when she was alone with Cao Ying, she unusually inquired about Chen Xiao.

Queen Medusa would only set up a barrier for Chen Xiao and Zi Yan while they were in seclusion, despite her reluctance.

She would only emerge from seclusion and rush back as soon as the barrier was broken.

Only when Chen Xiao addressed her as "Your Majesty" would a fleeting hint of displeasure flash in Queen Medusa's eyes...

By piecing together these details, it becomes easy to discern Queen Medusa's true thoughts hidden beneath her cold exterior.

Gazing at Queen Medusa's beautiful face, Chen Xiao suppressed his emotions and reminded her, "Be careful. Mo Tianxing's life is not worth cherishing, but you must not take any risks." Hearing this, Queen Medusa lowered her eyes and met Chen Xiao's gaze. Feeling the concern in his eyes, her usually cold and hard face did not soften in the slightest. Only her fingertips hanging at her sides unconsciously curled up.

The night breeze swept by, quietly dissolving the faint curve of her lips into the surging battle qi.

"I never take risks!"

With a curt remark, Queen Medusa stepped forward and, together with Elder Su Qian, forced Mo Tianxing to a distance, preventing him from intervening in the situation.

Without Mo Tianxing, a Dou Zong powerhouse, the remaining Mo Ya, Elder Qi, and Che Cheng are no longer a threat.

They had witnessed firsthand the power of Chen Xiao's Mountain-Splitting Seal and Sea-Turning Seal. Thinking of its might, comparable to that of a Dou Zong expert, the three of them felt a surge of fear and unconsciously moved closer together, as if doing so would give them more confidence.

"boom!"

A loud bang drew everyone's attention, and they saw that the red-robed Yan could no longer withstand the Little Fairy Doctor's continuous attacks. A bloody hole appeared on his chest, and he fell towards the mountains below, barely clinging to life.

The first Dou Huang powerhouse has fallen!
With a cold and stern expression, Little Fairy Doctor silently rushed into Zi Yan's battlefield. The two women joined forces and forced the Blood Sect's Fan Lao and the Black Skull Tomb Master into a desperate situation.

However, just as they were about to strike, Mo Ya intervened and narrowly saved Fan Lao and the owner of the Black Skull Tomb.

A group of people moved quickly towards the three from Demon Flame Valley. The eight Dou Huang experts all had solemn expressions and piercing eyes, staring intently at Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor, and Zi Yan, who were also rapidly approaching.

Their bodies surged with fighting spirit, and the weapons in their hands gleamed with a cold, sharp light, as if silently declaring that if Chen Xiao and the other two made any move, they would launch a thunderous counterattack without hesitation.

The smell of gunpowder in the air grew stronger, and a new standoff quietly unfolded in this tense atmosphere. Only the sounds of the clash between the old man of Eagle Mountain and the Heavenly Demon Puppet could be heard.

Seeing the eight people's wary expressions, Chen Xiao smiled slightly and took a step forward.

Upon seeing Chen Xiao step forward, Mo Ya's pupils constricted sharply, and he retreated three steps like a frightened bird, while simultaneously trying to win over the three from Demon Flame Valley.

"Elder Fang Yan, Chen Xiao has exhausted himself and is probably unable to use that fighting technique again. How about we join forces? I don't believe he can kill us all before his fighting energy is completely depleted!"

His voice was shrill and almost distorted, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes revealed madness, as if grabbing the three from Demon Flame Valley was like grasping at the last straw.

The situation changed too suddenly. The appearance of Su Qian and Queen Medusa, two powerful Dou Zong, completely shattered their illusions of seizing the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

Right now, the best outcome for them is to be able to escape unscathed.

Otherwise, once Mo Tianxing is defeated and Queen Medusa and Su Qian are free to act, it will be their annihilation!

Fang Yan clutched his chest, his face pale. The Void Fire Phoenix that had previously fused all three of their transformed fires had been destroyed, causing them to suffer a great backlash. At this moment, it felt as if countless steel whips were lashing through their meridians, making every breath accompanied by excruciating pain.

This state is less than half of what it was at its peak.

Glancing at the murderous Queen Medusa and Su Qian in the distance, listening to the sonic booms from the Heavenly Demon Puppet locked in fierce combat with Elder Eagle Mountain further away, and then thinking of the combined power of Chen Xiao's two seals...

In an instant, Fang Yan exchanged a subtle glance with the Second Elder and the Third Elder, but nodded in agreement with deep feeling.

"Alright, let's all go together!"

The moment he received the approval of the three from Demon Flame Valley, Mo Ya's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes, he grinned, and his battle aura surged like a black vortex, the pressure of a Battle Emperor sweeping around him like a tangible wave.

After exchanging a fierce glance with Elder Qi and Che Cheng beside him, they attacked simultaneously, not wanting to give Chen Xiao and the other two any more time to recover their fighting spirit.

As Mo Ya and his two companions launched their attack, the five figures behind them also made their moves simultaneously.

Fang Yan wiped the blood from his lips, exchanged a sinister glance with the Second and Third Elders, and his fighting spirit surged. Taking advantage of the moment when Chen Xiao's attention was drawn to the Black Emperor Sect's attack, he sped off in the opposite direction.

The bone staff in the Black Skull Tomb Master's hand appeared out of thin air, raising a cloud of black mist that obscured the view, before transforming into a black rainbow and disappearing into the distance.

Blood Sect Master Fan Lao's fingertips shot out blood threads like a spider web, landing on the mountain peaks below, causing the rocks to explode. When the chaos subsided, he was nowhere to be seen!

These five people, as if they were telepathically connected, chose the same action without exchanging any words!

With perfect teamwork, by the time Mo Ya and the other two reacted, the five of them had already flown to the edge of their line of sight, and could only be seen as five small black dots.

"Young Master Mo, compared to those old foxes, you seem as innocent as a lamb to the slaughter."

Seeing Mo Ya and the other two suddenly stop in mid-air, caught in a dilemma, their faces turning deathly pale, Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.

Ignoring Mo Ya's changing expression, Chen Xiao nodded slightly to Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan.

The monks may run away, but the temple cannot. The departure of those five people can be put on hold for now. We can deal with the Black Emperor Sect members later and then settle accounts with them slowly.

Immediately, Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan stepped out together.

His fighting spirit surged like a raging tide, completely sealing off the retreat routes of Mo Ya and the other two.
