BTTH : From the beginning of the battle to the top

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Victory and Defeat



However, Lin Yuan's dizziness faded in an instant. Like a reflex, he activated the first form of the Pure Spirit Technique, "Slashing Thought." His mind became clear in an instant, and he threw the Qinghuo Long Spear, which had gathered a massive amount of Heart Fire from the Earth, towards the energy giant snake.

The two collided, resulting in a tremendous explosion that scattered the energy giant snake and sent Qinghuo flying everywhere.

Looking at the sky filled with Qinghuo, Lin Yuan showed a satisfied expression. He then surrounded himself with Qinghuo and flew into the raging storm of energy and flames, using the scattered Qinghuo and the chaotic energy to conceal his figure. He split his soul power into two parts: one to sense and capture the movements of Queen Medusa, and the other to mask the energy fluctuations in his hand.

The vast expanse of Qinghuo obscured Queen Medusa's line of sight and disrupted her perception, making it impossible for her to locate her enemy. Just as she was about to strike and forcibly dispel the raging energy storm, she suddenly sensed a powerful attack coalescing within the sea of Qinghuo, which had already locked onto her.

Without hesitation, Queen Medusa gathered a massive amount of colorful energy to prepare for the confrontation.

Soon, a Qinghong seal formed in Lin Yuan's hand. With the vast Qinghuo as a guide, the surrounding energy from heaven and earth quickly converged around this seal in the sky, transforming all the scattered Qinghuo from their previous battle into the resources for this strike. An incredibly terrifying power brewed forth, causing the space around the seal to tremble with energy fluctuations.

"This strike utilizes the Qinghuo that scattered during our previous clash? This guy has been preparing for this attack all along? This power is extremely terrifying, even among Earth-level combat techniques. This is bad." Queen Medusa realized that her opponent had been plotting since the beginning of the battle, but there was no retreat now; she was already locked onto by a massive force, and retreating would result in a devastating blow. She could only brace herself for a direct confrontation.

Lin Yuan's expression was indifferent as he unleashed the Earth-level combat technique he had been preparing for a long time.

"Heavenly Fire Calamity, Mountain and River Seal."

The Qinghuo seal fell towards Queen Medusa like a setting sun.

Queen Medusa formed several strange seals, condensing an extremely sharp seven-colored brilliance to meet the descending Qinghong seal.

"Heavenly Rainbow Sword Qi."

At the moment of collision between the Qinghong seal and the seven-colored sword qi, the energy drifting in the air seemed to freeze, and the sky became heavy.

"Boom!"

After a moment of stillness, two terrifying energies erupted, distorting the entire space. Folds in space suddenly appeared, and ripples spread outward.

At the center of the collision between the blue and seven-colored energies, an energy storm mixed with blue flames expanded outward, sweeping everything in its path clean. A large area of dense forest below the battlefield was directly transformed into a circular white ground, and the entire environment became dry.

Before long, the brief stalemate between the blue and seven-colored energies was finally broken, with the blue energy suppressing the seven-colored energy. Ultimately, it exploded near Queen Medusa, enveloping her in the explosive hot winds.

After several seconds, as the raging energy dissipated, Queen Medusa's figure reappeared, her aura significantly weakened. The luxurious robe she wore was burned away in large patches, revealing vast areas of her snow-white skin, which bore severe burns.

However, before Queen Medusa could catch her breath after enduring the energy impact and scorching winds, a premeditated blue light struck her, hitting her before she could organize an effective defense.

"Heavenly Fire Calamity, Ancient Dragon Spirit-Sealing Seal."

The blue light, tinged with a hint of purple, entered her body and transformed into a solid seal, firmly locking Queen Medusa's cultivation. Subsequently, her weakened aura began to plummet rapidly.

"Eight-Star Dou Emperor, Five-Star Dou Emperor, One-Star Dou Emperor, Nine-Star Dou Wang."

In Queen Medusa's panicked gaze, her cultivation continued to decline until it stopped at Five-Star Dou Wang.

"What have you done?" Queen Medusa glared at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with madness and killing intent.

"An uninteresting question. I merely did something you've done before, didn't I? And..." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan's figure vanished from Queen Medusa's sight.

"What—" Before she could finish her sentence, her head was struck by a powerful blow, causing her to faint. Behind her stood Lin Yuan, his hand poised like a knife.

"And now, you are merely a captive." Lin Yuan then struck her a few more times to ensure she was unconscious before retrieving the 'gift' he had prepared for her from his storage ring and administering it.

"With this, the strength test is complete. If all goes well, the Serpent People can be utilized within a limited scope."

"It's time to negotiate with the Serpent People." Lin Yuan recalled the map and flew towards the direction of the Meishe Tribe in the Tagore Desert, carrying the unconscious Queen Medusa.

At night, a seductive figure shot out from the grand hall of the Meishe Tribe, racing towards an oasis in the desert. It was Yue Mei, the current leader of the Meishe Tribe, one of the eight major tribes of the Serpent People.

At this moment, Yue Mei's face, usually filled with charm and playfulness, was extremely flustered. She tightly clutched a piece of seven-colored serpent scale, symbolizing Queen Medusa, as she flew, muttering continuously.

"Please, Spirit, protect us. Queen, please don't let anything happen!"

When she arrived at the oasis indicated in the message, she saw the unconscious Queen Medusa leaning against a tree, her clothing somewhat tattered, her aura weak, clearly having gone through a brutal battle.

Although worried, Yue Mei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing the sleeping Queen Medusa. Thankfully, the Queen was unharmed.

"Is this your idea of reassurance?" A playful voice sounded behind Yue Mei, startling her. She quickly turned and shot a purple energy blast towards the figure behind her.

However, the energy blast merely created a ripple of blue energy upon contact, which vanished in an instant. The figure stood there, unharmed, not even shifting their stance.

Seeing this, Yue Mei broke out in a cold sweat. This brief encounter made it clear to her that the person before her was very strong, far beyond what she could handle. Next, she needed to find a way to escape with the Queen.

"Since you're so conflicted about what to do, why don't I help you decide?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Yuan's figure turned into an afterimage and vanished from Yue Mei's sight.

Before she could react, Lin Yuan reappeared, his long hand already resting on Yue Mei's neck. The powerful energy he had gathered could easily end her life with a single breath.

"Don't act rashly. You only have one life; don't joke about it." Lin Yuan warned Yue Mei, who was attempting to use her charm techniques. Although he wore a slight smile, his eyes were devoid of warmth.

"Here, eat this." Lin Yuan produced a 'pill' and held it to Yue Mei's lips.

"Don't worry, eating it won't kill you. Queen Medusa ate the same thing. But if you don't eat it, you'll die immediately." Seeing Yue Mei hesitate, Lin Yuan's voice turned colder.

Knowing she couldn't resist, Yue Mei obediently swallowed the pill. She had to survive to report back. As the pill dissolved in her stomach, she felt something deeply hidden within her body, and an ominous premonition grew in her heart.

"Who are you? What did you give me and the Queen? What are your intentions?"

"Poison. The next events won't concern you much. Go help me relay a message to those four old geezers in your tribe."

"I have a deal to negotiate with the Serpent People, and Queen Medusa's life is one of the bargaining chips. Bring them here."
