Especially the hideous bloody mark on his body, which almost split him in two, looked shocking.
"How..." He only managed to utter one word before it pulled at his wounds, causing the bald snake-person to show an expression of immense pain.
After a slight recovery, he looked up at Xiao Yan, his voice filled with disbelief: "So strong!"
Yue Mei was also shocked. The eight tribal leaders all knew the great commander's strength very well.
Even the Queen would have to spend some effort to take him down, yet he was defeated in just one move!
In a battle between equals, where both sides have the same realm and the difference in other aspects is very small, it is generally difficult to determine a winner. How could he have been defeated so quickly?
As Yue Mei was horrified, she couldn't help but think of a terrifying possibility.
In a battle between equals, it is naturally difficult to determine a winner in one move, but what if it was a battle between different levels? Then it would make sense!
Xiao Yan, this alchemist, is actually... a Dou Zong powerhouse?
Thinking of her own guess, Yue Mei's diamond-shaped eyes were somewhat disbelieving.
Standing in the air, a Dou Zong realm.
This was a barrier that the Queen had not broken through for many years. How old was Xiao Yan?
For a time, this mysterious, powerful, and extremely composed alchemist, Xiao Yan, aroused Yue Mei's strong curiosity.
"Strong?" Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh. "To deal with you, the strength of a Dou Wang is enough."
Dou Wang? Yue Mei's delicate body froze, and she looked at Xiao Yan with wide, beautiful eyes.
Fighting above one's level, and with one move, is he kidding?
"You are only a Dou Wang?" The bald snake-person seemed to have been hit again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
If he was defeated by a mere boy at the Dou Wang level, then he would be too ashamed to live in the Snake-People tribe.
Xiao Yan did not pay attention to the bald snake-person, but instead tightened his arm around Yue Mei's slender waist: "What are you looking at me for?"
"The Dou Wang I was talking about wasn't someone else; it was you!" Xiao Yan said with a slight smile.
Although he knew that Yue Mei's dance for him was probably not with good intentions, her two dances had given him a lot of help.
First, it helped with his cultivation.
After Yue Mei's careful dressing, her charm was extraordinary, allowing the effect of the "Vajra's Four Virtues" secret technique to reach an unprecedented level.
The multi-faceted attributes of his Dou Qi were strengthened by the "Vajra's Four Virtues" secret technique. Although the time was very short, the effect was excellent, no less than half a month's worth of effort.
Time, for him, is very precious.
The second was the condensation of the Super Fallen Heart Flame.
Originally, the "Bodhi's Three Insights" and "Vajra's Four Virtues," which had some deviation in comprehension for condensing the Fallen Heart Flame, now led to the enlightenment of "The Five Evil Fates of the Mahā" because of Yue Mei.
This ultimately took his goal to a higher level, providing the foundation for condensing something that surpassed the Fallen Heart Flame.
The last was the comprehension of Dou Techniques.
Dou Techniques are not independent. The three techniques combining into one, and combined attack Dou Techniques, all prove the power of combining Dou Techniques.
After comprehending "The Five Evil Fates of the Mahā," Xiao Yan had a vague blueprint for adding the former "Bodhi's Three Insights" and "Vajra's Four Virtues."
The three secret techniques have the same concept and many moves. If they could be fused, they would surely form a powerful, earth-shattering Dou Technique.
For these three reasons, Xiao Yan wanted to help this Yue Mei.
Moreover, helping Yue Mei also had some benefits for him.
The situation of the Snake-People tribe is not good. They need a powerhouse other than Medusa who can take charge.
If the Hall of Souls incites other empires, and Medusa is not around, the Snake-People tribe can have a powerhouse to lead them in dealing with the situation and reduce their losses.
In addition, the materials stored in his Bone Heavenly Flame Ring are not few, but they are not everything on the Dou Qi continent, and there will always be some missing.
He has not completely figured out the medicinal liquid needed to promote the growth of the Green Lotus Core Flame's roots, but there are a few herbs he has not prepared.
He needs a person of decent strength who can be at his disposal.
Finally, if Yue Mei's charm can become stronger, that would also be a good thing.
Since he had gained three benefits from Yue Mei and helping her would also bring him three benefits, Xiao Yan felt that helping Yue Mei a little was a wise move.
"Me?" Yue Mei was a little disbelieving, pointing to herself with her slender jade finger.
Let alone the fact that she is only a Dou Wang now, even if she breaks through to Dou Huang, she would absolutely not be a match for the great commander, that cultivation fanatic.
The characteristics of the Snake-People of the Charm Snake tribe are poison and charm/illusion techniques. If these are ineffective, their strength will be greatly reduced.
The great commander himself is a powerful snake-person with strong resistance to poison; moreover, he has a tough mind, so charm techniques have almost no effect on him.
As for illusion techniques... Yue Mei does not think her illusion techniques can withstand the impact of the great commander's giant snake.
"Yue Mei?" Glancing at the leader of the Charm Snake tribe beside Xiao Yan, the bald snake-person gave a cold laugh.
Even if Yue Mei's strength were to advance to Dou Huang, he could still beat ten of her.
"Yes, Yue Mei." Xiao Yan was very confident. His gaze swept over Yue Mei's graceful body, and he quickly gained a clear understanding in his heart.
[Based on Yue Mei's snake dance with its strange musical rhythm, you have performed a deduction. You have achieved an epiphany and comprehended the Demon Dance Shattering Heaven's Glory.]
[Demon Dance Shattering Heaven's Glory: A Dou Technique activated with a special weapon. When the Dou Technique is used, a soul-capturing musical rhythm will sound.]
[Techniques: Nine-fold Returning Shadow, Soul-capturing Melody, Heaven and Earth Reversal, Demon Dance Shattering Heaven's Glory, Ghost Evil, Thousand Blades and Ten Thousand Punishments.]
[Note: If this Dou Technique is used to capture souls with a spiritual weapon, the power will be even stronger.]
Yue Mei was a little embarrassed by Xiao Yan's fiery eyes. There were other people here.
The bald snake-person slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Even if I only have less than ten percent of my strength, killing Yue Mei is not a difficult task."
If he were to be defeated by Yue Mei, the weakest of the eight tribes, his title as a cultivation fanatic would become a complete joke.
"Ten percent?" Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and a red pill shot out, directly entering the bald snake-person's mouth. "This will restore you to fifty percent."
This was a failed product from his previous alchemy, and its medicinal effect did not reach the ideal state.
The recovery speed is not fast, and the recovery effect can only reach half of the original level, far inferior to the precious item that Medusa took.
However, in just a moment, it would allow the completely depleted strength to be restored.
"Xiao Yan, how is this possible?" Yue Mei said worriedly. How could she possibly be a match for the great commander now, even if he was not in his peak state?
"It's not possible; it's absolutely going to happen." The blazing red longsword in Xiao Yan's right hand dissipated, and he reached out like a dragon's claw toward Yue Mei's heart.
In that grasp of empty space, Yue Mei inexplicably felt her heart tighten, and all the Dou Qi and blood in her body seemed to flow backward, all gathering toward the location of her heart.
For a moment, a dazzling purple light flashed.
"Lower your control over the Dou Qi!" Xiao Yan reminded Yue Mei, and his wrist slowly turned.
