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

The outskirts of Nancheng.

in the wilderness.

The once quiet night.

The moment was shattered by a deafening roar.

Two streaks of light collided wildly in mid-air.

Each contact generates a visible shockwave that flattens down swathes of trees below.

He Taiqing's face was somewhat pale, but he wielded his long sword more and more rapidly.

"Demon, prepare to die."

After shouting, his true energy surged into the longsword like a tidal wave.

The longsword in his hand suddenly burst forth with a blinding white light.

Sword energy crisscrossed, weaving into an impenetrable net of swords in the air.

Medusa had now gone completely mad.

No longer maintaining that delicate human appearance, it completely reveals its true form.

boom.

The enormous snake tail of its lower body swept across.

Each time, it carves a huge, deep trench in the ground.

Equally terrifying.

"You old human ghost, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Medusa's voice was shrill.

boom.

He tossed his head slightly.

Its head of snake hair twisted wildly, and countless small black snakes bared their fangs and claws, spewing out large swathes of gray mist.

Wherever these fogs passed.

Even the air seemed to freeze, making a series of crackling sounds.

He Taiqing gave a cold snort.

His figure flickered in mid-air, dodging the eerie gray mist.

"You think you can hurt me with just petrochemical fumes?"

next moment.

He Taiqing suddenly stepped forward, and slashed down with his long sword.

This sword strike, devoid of any frills, carried a powerful, earth-shattering force.

Medusa's expression changed.

I felt the power of that sword.

As the snake's tail suddenly contracted, its entire body twisted into a bizarre arc in the air.

"boom."

The sword energy grazed past his body.

They directly leveled a small mound in the distance.

In an instant, smoke and dust filled the sky, and dirt flew everywhere.

Medusa seized the moment when He Taiqing's moves were exhausted and her eyes suddenly narrowed.

boom.

Pupil changes.

The supernatural power—Medusa's gaze.

His eyes instantly turned a deathly gray.

boom.

An invisible wave swept across instantly.

It enveloped He Taiqing completely.

He Taiqing felt his whole body stiffen, and a chilling aura spread rapidly upwards from his ankles.

I couldn't help but look down.

The color changed instantly.

His left foot had turned into a grayish-white stone.

And this terrifying petrification trend is still climbing up the thighs.

Damn it.

His expression changed drastically.

Unexpectedly, Medusa's supernatural power was so domineering that it could even penetrate his true essence protection as a four-star Martial Emperor.

He hurriedly circulated his internal energy, trying to forcefully disperse the petrifying power.

However, that gray energy clung to the body's meridians like a persistent, intractable disease.

Medusa, upon seeing this, immediately revealed a cruel smile.

"Hahaha."

"Old ghost, slowly turn into stone."

As soon as she finished speaking, Medusa twisted her serpentine body again, and her snake hair suddenly flew wildly.

Countless small snakes shot out like arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

He Taiqing gritted his teeth.

The left side of his body has gradually lost sensation, and his movements have become sluggish.

My heart felt incredibly heavy.

I never imagined that the Medusa clan's supernatural powers were so terrifying.

Even expending his own true energy, he could only slightly slow down the petrification process.

We must return to Taihe Province and go into seclusion.

If this drags on any longer, I'll definitely die here today.

"Even if I die, I will still bite off a piece of your flesh."

A resolute glint flashed in He Taiqing's eyes.

"hiss."

He took a deep breath, and his true energy surged completely at that moment.

The longsword in his hand also emitted mournful cries, as if it could not withstand the terrifying power.

"A single sword can cleave mountains and rivers."

boom.

He Taiqing roared.

In an instant, he transformed into a blur and, despite the petrification pressure, rushed to Medusa's side.

Medusa clearly hadn't expected that this old guy would dare to engage in close combat at this point.

In haste, it could only swing its huge snake tail to meet the attack.

"Pfft."

The longsword suddenly gleamed.

It struck Medusa's thick serpent tail with precision.

Blood gushed out instantly.

The snake's tail, which was two or three meters long, was forcibly severed by He Taiqing.

"ah."

Medusa let out a piercing scream.

The snake fell from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground, writhing in pain.

He Taiqing was also feeling unwell at this time.

It landed heavily on the ground.

The left half of his body had completely turned into stone, making him look incredibly bizarre.

Looking up at Medusa, who was still wailing, and then at his own petrified body, He Taiqing gritted his teeth and said...

You're lucky to be alive today.

In his current state, he has no chance of killing Medusa; staying would only mean certain death.

After forcibly taking a breath.

He Taiqing turned around and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing away.

Only Medusa lay in a pool of blood, the excruciating pain from her severed tail nearly causing her to faint.

He stared intently in the direction He Taiqing had fled, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Old ghost, I will definitely kill you."

After taking deep breaths.

He then prepared to leave first and find a place to hide and heal his wounds.

However, at that moment, a chilling sense of crisis suddenly descended from above.

boom.

An atmosphere of terror suddenly arose.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Medusa jerked her head back, her eyes wide with shock.

What is this?

In the direction where He Taiqing fled, the originally dark sky was suddenly illuminated by two beams of blue light.

The light was dazzling.

It carried an aura of annihilation.

Medusa's pupils contracted sharply.

That was actually sword energy.

Two cyan sword energies, each a hundred meters long, stretched across the sky like two roaring dragons.

Chi Chi Chi.

Boom boom boom.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

"This is……"

Medusa shuddered once again.

She was all too familiar with those two sword energies.

Just now, in the sky above the residential area, the martial arts boy she killed used this very move.

But now these two sword energies...

Its power is many times greater than before.

At this moment, He Taiqing, who was desperately trying to escape, also sensed the sudden and immense killing intent ahead.

His eyes widened in terror.

The two streaks of cyan sword energy were already upon them.

"No."

He Taiqing was terrified.

He wanted to dodge, but his petrified body couldn't keep up with the speed of his thoughts.

"boom."

The sword energy slashed down fiercely.

The protective true essence was like paper before this sword, shattering instantly.

He Taiqing was cleaved off mid-air and crashed to the ground like a meteorite.

"Bang!"

The ground shook violently.

The two sword energies carved out two deep, bottomless ravines.

Earth and rocks flew everywhere.

Smoke and dust filled the sky.

Medusa stared blankly at the scene, forgetting even to breathe.

He Taiqing is a four-star Martial Emperor.

He was actually cleaved down from the sky by a single sword strike?

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A figure in cyan slowly descended from the sky.

The man looked to be around forty or fifty years old, dressed in a simple blue robe, his body as straight as a sword stuck in the ground.
