As soon as Xiao Yan became a little serious, Medusa found it difficult to fend him off.
However, Medusa had rich combat experience and was very decisive and resolute.
Her purple beautiful eyes suddenly sharpened. Knowing her disadvantage, Medusa's wrist suddenly loosened, and the snake sword, which was about to collapse, immediately shot out.
With a bang, a scorching red light flashed from the snake sword and exploded on the spot like a muffled thunder.
Medusa had been supplying a large amount of Dou Qi to keep the snake sword from being destroyed. The power of this explosion, which was caused by the entire snake sword exploding, was also quite impressive.
The aftermath spread, and the desert within a few hundred meters violently trembled.
This made Hai Bo Dong, who was watching the show, perk up. Looking at the red mist formed by the exploding snake sword, he immediately shouted a reminder, "Xiao Yan, be careful, it's poisonous!"
Although Medusa was not a purely poisonous Snake Person, her Dou Qi, like that of most Snake People, carried a poisonous nature.
Moreover, as her strength increased, this poison had reached a terrifying level.
Even a Dou Huang rank expert would not feel well once they were hit by it.
Xiao Yan did not care about the mist, which had a faint sweet, fishy smell.
With the Netherworld Poison Flame, even the Demon Poison Spot condensed by the Dou Zong rank expert Scorpion Biyan was just a nutrient for Xiao Yan to increase his strength, let alone Medusa's insignificant trick of using poison, which she was not skilled at.
However, the power of this exploding snake sword was indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Yan stomped his foot on the ground, using ten-tenths of his strength.
In an instant, the blade in his hand erupted with a dazzling silver blade aura, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, illuminating everything around it as bright as day.
The violent energy released by the exploding snake sword was as fragile as paper in the face of this blade aura, unable to withstand a single blow.
The blade aura instantly split the scorching red energy apart, as easily as cutting tofu, demonstrating Xiao Yan's unmatched strength.
The half-moon-shaped blade aura did not weaken because of this. Its lingering power was still terrifying, and it created a rift in the calm and boundless sea of sand, as if it wanted to split the entire desert in two.
The sand waves rolled, and the dust flew, forming a spectacular sight that made Hai Bo Dong exclaim in admiration.
It was not difficult for him to cause large-scale destruction, but it was not easy to control the force to this extent and concentrate it into one.
Retreating quickly to avoid the violent sand waves, Queen Medusa's Dou Qi wings appeared behind her, and she flew into mid-air, with a pair of even more magnificent long swords in her hands.
Seeing the pair of long swords in Queen Medusa's hands, a scene from many years ago surfaced in Hai Bo Dong's mind.
When she swung her two swords, they were like rapidly spinning tops, with each sword having more force than the last. This was Queen Medusa's specialty.
Xiao Yan let out a breath of stale air. The long blade in his hand was imbued with a shimmering blue light, and he turned the blade into a sword.
[You deduce from the Corpse God Seven Oddities, Poet Immortal's Sword Sequence, Void Sword Realm, and Medusa's sword moves. You have a sudden realization and comprehend the Ethereal Swordsmanship.]
[Ethereal Swordsmanship: Ethereal and elusive, with no trace to be found. It is exquisitely subtle and unpredictable. The sword moves are formless and shapeless, ever-changing and elusive. It is a type of swordsmanship that focuses on moves. Among them, each move can be used in a repeating sequence.]
[Moves: Break, Void, Fly, Annihilate, Illusion, End, Truth, Mystery.]
The eight sword moves, when used individually, are already extremely subtle. When used in a repeating sequence, they can have over a hundred thousand combinations. Even if one can defend against ten swords or a hundred swords, it would be difficult to defend against the remaining ten thousand swords.
With a lift of his hand, Xiao Yan threw the magnificent and ancient sword, and it plunged into the desert with a rumble.
Within a few hundred miles, the wind and sand instantly fell silent.
"Sword One, Break!" Xiao Yan raised his hand and pointed a finger in the air at the hilt of the sword.
At that moment, a dazzling bright light suddenly flashed. Following that, a powerful sword aura immediately converged into a giant sword, which shot out and charged toward Medusa in mid-air.
Where the sword aura passed, the air seemed to be cut open, making a sharp whizzing sound.
At this moment, Medusa's figure spun in mid-air. Her two swords, when swung, were like a giant scorching red millstone, sweeping up the surrounding air with intense energy fluctuations.
Facing this fast-approaching giant sword aura, a never-before-seen seriousness was revealed in Medusa's purple eyes.
The giant sword struck Medusa's spinning blades. A crisp clang was heard, and Medusa's attack, which was spinning as fast as a windmill, instantly came to a halt.
Her crimson figure fell like a meteor. Medusa was instantly sent flying backward. Her two swords dug into the sand and slid for a hundred meters before she finally stopped.
The massive consumption of Dou Qi made her face slightly pale, and her breathing became a little hurried for a moment.
"Xiao Yan, this is..." Hai Bo Dong exclaimed, looking at the gully that had been split open by the blade aura.
As someone who cultivated Ice Attribute Dou Qi, he was extremely sensitive to Fire Attribute energy. The area under the sand was not ordinary.
Xiao Yan looked down at the gully he had created and said in a deep voice, "The Fire Attribute energy here is much richer than in other areas."
The main reason why the Tagore Desert is a desert is not only because there is a mature Green Lotus Core Flame underground but also because of the magma sea where the Green Lotus Core Flame grew.
There was a huge magma world underground. It would be strange if lush forests could still grow on the surface.
Based on the richness of this Fire Attribute energy, plus the location's proximity to Stone Desert City, Xiao Yan could be sure that if he drilled down from here, he would definitely be able to find the Green Lotus Core Flame.
"It seems we've gotten a complete stroke of luck. The Heavenly Flame must be down there," Hai Bo Dong said with great excitement.
Xiao Yan had helped him break the seal and gave him his current strength. He had always been grateful in his heart, but there was no place for him to contribute.
Protecting Xiao Yan's two brothers in Stone Desert City was a trivial matter to him.
Now that the trace of the Heavenly Flame, which Xiao Yan desperately needed, had appeared, he was naturally overjoyed.
He had traveled in the Tagore Desert for a while back then and had found three places where a Heavenly Flame might exist. He didn't expect to find it in the first place he visited.
"Heavenly Flame!" Medusa's enchanting purple eyes also looked at the gully in front of her. She focused and sensed it, also discovering that this part of the desert was not ordinary.
The special environment of the Tagore Desert indeed made it very possible for a Heavenly Flame to exist.
It's just that Heavenly Flames are so strange. Most alchemists spend their entire lives without having the chance to see a Heavenly Flame's true appearance.
She had been searching in the Tagore Desert for many years and did not expect that it might be here.
"Hmm?" Hai Bo Dong frowned, looking at the seemingly happy Medusa in the distance with a puzzled expression.
