BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 128: The Great Battle, Overwhelming!

Powerful and terrifying auras erupted from Gu He and the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon, completely enveloping the snake people on the city wall.

Feeling this aura, Mobas and Yuemei on the city wall were horrified, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

Under this overwhelming pressure, they were horrified to find that they had no room for resistance.

"Could this be... a Dou Ancestor powerhouse?"

At this moment, even the usually calm and indifferent Queen Medusa had an incredibly solemn expression on her face. Although she had suspected it, feeling the violent pressure emanating from Gu He, she couldn't help but waver in her heart, thinking, "Have I made a mistake..."

But thinking about the benefits of evolving with the Heavenly Flame, as recorded in the ancient snake people's scriptures, her cold eyes immediately showed a hint of determination.

The Heavenly Flame must not be allowed to escape!

In the next moment, Queen Medusa made a decision, and a clear and cold voice resounded in the sky above the Medusa Temple.

"Please assist, four elders!"

As Queen Medusa's voice fell, the Medusa Temple suddenly erupted with four powerful auras, and then four shadows shot up into the sky and quickly landed in the empty space on the city wall.

The four figures floated in the void and gradually revealed their appearances, showing four old faces.

Seeing these four elders appear, Mobas and Yuemei on the city wall were slightly stunned, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on their faces.

The four elders really took action!

Perhaps, in this battle, the snake people might have a chance to win!

Queen Medusa, upon seeing the four figures in the void, also revealed a smile. Obviously, the appearance of the four elders gave her a lot of confidence.

When the four snake people elders appeared, Gu He also looked over.

Sure enough, the strength of these four elders was at the pinnacle of the Nine-Star Dou Ancestor level.

And from the powerful auras emanating from them, it was clear that they had been at this level for a long time.

However, this was also their limit.

Gu He could feel that the life force in the bodies of these four snake people elders was almost nearing exhaustion, and they probably wouldn't live much longer.

After this battle, the lives of these four elders would probably come to an end.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman among the four elders slowly opened her eyes, and her diamond-shaped pupils, like venomous snakes, locked onto Gu He, sending a chill down his spine.

As she opened her eyes, the other three old women also opened their eyes suddenly. The four cold auras rose and converged in mid-air, forming a pitch-black giant python. The emotionless eyes of the giant python locked onto Gu He, and an invisible pressure began to gather on Gu He's body like a thousand pounds of force, steadily accumulating.

Feeling the formidable pressure, Gu He's expression gradually became serious. He let out a light shout, and a wisp of purple flame suddenly rose and enveloped his body.

As soon as the purple flames appeared, the temperature in the void skyrocketed, and the cold aura generated by the four old women dissipated instantly. The pitch-black giant python was also affected and turned into nothingness.

"This is... a Heavenly Flame!"

Seeing the swirling purple flames around Gu He, the middle-aged woman among the elders displayed a hint of surprise in her cloudy eyes. She asked in a harsh voice, "Since you already possess a Heavenly Flame, why do you still covet our Queen's Heavenly Flame?"

Her voice was quite unpleasant, like the sound of a stone scraping against glass, making people feel uncomfortable.

Of course, with Gu He's strength, he could naturally filter out this feeling.

To this question from the snake people elder, Gu He did not answer. The situation had already reached this point, and there was no need to answer anymore.

Today, he was determined to obtain the Qinglian Heartfire.

Gu He's gaze swept over the four snake people elders and then looked at Queen Medusa. A cold smile appeared on his lips, "Queen Medusa, do you really think that these few old folks at death's door can protect the Heavenly Flame in your hands?"

Hearing the icy tone in Gu He's words, Queen Medusa's heart skipped a beat. Her red lips moved as she was about to speak, but one of the snake people elders angrily retorted.

"Arrogant!"

Among the four snake people elders, an old woman with vertical pupils stared at Gu He with a cold look in her eyes and a stern tone, "You are underestimating our snake people."

Although the other three elders did not speak, their faces were ashen.

Clearly, Gu He's words had made them extremely angry.

Gu He glanced at this snake people elder with indifference and said, "You rely on old age to sell your age!"

In the next moment, Gu He's figure suddenly disappeared on the body of the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon.

Seeing Gu He's figure suddenly disappear, the snake people elder's eyelids twitched.

The next moment, Gu He's figure suddenly appeared in front of one of the snake people elders.

With such a distance, Gu He used his Close-Range Teleportation, arriving almost in the blink of an eye.

A palm imprint quickly formed in Gu He's palm, and a terrifying force surrounded it. Then it struck heavily on the chest of the snake people elder.

When the palm imprint was less than half a foot away from the chest of the snake people elder, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted. Under this aura, the air left a faint trace as it was torn apart, emitting a sharp, almost imperceptible sound, echoing in the ears.

"Bang!"

At this distance, even though the snake people elder reacted, there was no time to dodge, so she took Gu He's blow head-on.

The formidable force burst out from Gu He's palm and caused a noticeable depression in the snake people elder's chest. She staggered back several steps, her shoulders shuddering, and then she forcefully stabilized her posture.

Puff!

After the elderly figure finally stabilized, a mouthful of thick blood spurted out.

With just one strike, this snake people elder was severely injured.

Driving back this snake people elder with a single strike, as she retreated, Gu He suddenly frowned. He sensed that the two snake people to his right were launching an attack on him at the same time.

A low and hissing sound emanated from both of them, and the dense blood-red radiance grew even more intense. The two snake people elders clenched their palms, causing the blood-red radiance to surge violently. Immediately, within the void, it condensed into a sharply defined giant snake illusion. The giant snake illusion tore through the void, leaving a few faint traces in the empty space as it surged fiercely towards Gu He.

"Hmph, a feeble trick!"

Sensing all of this, Gu He's expression remained unchanged, and a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

In the next moment, Gu He quickly formed a series of profound hand seals in his hand, and a terrifying palm imprint instantly condensed.

This palm was not particularly cunning or ruthless; instead, it was imbued with an extremely heavy force. Under this terrifying power, the surrounding space began to distort, and the air in the vicinity was compressed into an almost invisible curve. An invisible air cannon formed in his palm with a deafening and piercing sound.

The next moment, the huge palm imprint clashed fiercely with the giant snake illusion in the void.

Clang!

A resounding clang of metal striking metal suddenly rang out in the sky, echoing in the ears of countless people below. Some of the weaker individuals even felt pain in their eardrums.

In the sky, at the point of impact, the mighty energy ripples spread in all directions like water ripples. The two figures that had just made contact were forcibly pushed back several yards.

At this moment, these two snake people elders who had attempted a sneak attack displayed looks of shock in their eyes. They felt a fierce force coursing through their bodies, seemingly tearing their flesh apart.

It took a great effort for the two snake people elders to stabilize their positions. As they gazed at Gu He, their faces were ashen.

Clearly, Gu He's speed was incredible. They couldn't afford to engage him one-on-one. Instead, they activated a fusion technique.

One of the snake people elders suddenly had a realization and shouted at the last uninjured snake people elder, "Fourth Elder, be careful!"

As the warning was heard, the last snake people elder's face became exceptionally grim. At that moment, she sensed Gu He's presence closing in on her. She had no time to react before a violent surge of Dou Qi power struck her.

Before she could even command that power within her, Gu He, surrounded by countless shocked gazes, smashed a fiery palm imprint onto her body.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion that deafened the heavens resounded in the sky. A terrifying wave of flames swept over.

Pff!

In an instant, as the wave of flames swept through, a figure high in the sky spewed a mouthful of blood, and then her body plummeted to the ground like a bird with its wings broken.

Watching this falling figure, the entire battlefield fell into stunned silence.

On top of the city wall, Yuemei and Mobas watched the situation below, seemingly unable to react.

Once they did, their eyes focused on the figure suspended in the void. They were filled with utter shock and amazement.

Did the Four Elders just get defeated?

It was only a brief encounter!

This human was incredibly powerful!

What made Yuemei and Mobas tremble with fear was the realization that this silver-faced human had seemingly never used any combat techniques. He had effortlessly defeated the Four Elders with basic Qi attacks.

Seeing the Four Elders so soundly defeated, Queen Medusa's exquisite face also showed a shocked expression.

Finally, she understood. She had perhaps underestimated the strength of this human. To defeat the Four Elders in such a short time, he must be at the level of a Dou Master. It wasn't that the Four Elders were weak; it was that this human was overwhelmingly powerful.

"His speed is too fast. Don't engage with him individually. Activate the Serpent Venom Seal!"

Seeing the injured Snake People Four Elders, a gray-robed old woman shouted urgently.

She was the Snake People Grand Elder, and under her command, the other three Snake People Elders swiftly responded, gathering together in formation.

The Snake People Grand Elder shouted, and then her hands quickly formed a series of intricate and mesmerizing seals. As they completed the complex seal, a substantial dark-green energy radiance rapidly converged in her palms.

As the Snake People Grand Elder finished her seals, the other three Snake People Elders swiftly followed suit, completing their seals in quick succession. They had practiced this formation countless times, so upon hearing the command, they could rapidly complete the intricate seals.

In the moment their seals were finished, a faint and ethereal energy barrier suddenly manifested out of thin air, enveloping them securely. This was clearly a defensive measure against any sudden sneak attack.

As they watched the energy growing denser in the palms of the four Snake People Elders, Gu He, floating in the void, showed a look of keen interest.

He had heard that the Snake People possessed unique combat techniques, especially certain fusion techniques. These techniques could combine the strength of many individuals and release it simultaneously, giving them a chance to stand against higher-level foes.

The fusion technique they were using now was likely at the level of an Earth-grade Low-Level Combat Skill. Such a fusion technique was already considered highly advanced among the Snake People.

Only the Snake People Elders had the strength and qualifications to practice it.

"Serpent Venom Seal, activate!"

Following the low shout from the Snake People Grand Elder, dark-green columns of energy, each several yards long, abruptly shot out from the palms of the four Nine-Star Dou Huang powerhouses.

As these dark-green columns shot out from their palms, they began to interweave instantly. After a brief moment, an enormous dark-green energy serpent took shape in the sky.

When this colossal energy serpent emerged, the desert beneath it suddenly had a violent wind arise, and a breath exuding bloodthirstiness and savagery burst forth from it.

The massive energy serpent started to churn violently. After a moment, it transformed into a colossal green snake measuring over thirty yards in length.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the energy snake appeared, the already strong desert wind became even fiercer. Visible whirlwinds swirled around the snake's body, producing a howling sound that echoed throughout the desert.

Watching the enormous energy snake in the sky, Gu He's eyes finally showed a tinge of astonishment and seriousness. He had not expected the four Nine-Star Dou Huang powerhouses to display such formidable energy.

This level of power was already comparable to a Dou Zong. Even a regular one-star Dou Zong would struggle to contend with this force.

"Snake People's combat techniques are indeed impressive. This extraordinary fusion technique is truly astonishing..."

Exhaling lightly, Gu He condensed his Qi. His entire body exuded an aura as sharp as a sword's edge.

"However, it's merely an Earth-grade Low-Level Combat Skill."

Following this, Gu He had a thought, and a series of mysterious hand seals were quickly formed in his hands.

"Vermilion Bird Seal!"

His hands moved, and a series of intricate seals emerged from Gu He's hands.

In an instant, dozens of these intricate seals converged between his fingers, forming a brilliant starry pattern in the void.

Next, a resounding hissing sound rose from within the starry pattern. An elegant and enormous figure gradually appeared within it. The Vermilion Bird Illusion, covered in fiery red flames, exuded an extremely violent and scorching aura, spreading like a colossal beast that overshadowed the void, as if it could incinerate the entire world.

As the hand seals of Gu He changed, the Vermilion Bird Illusion suspended in front of him suddenly erupted with a dazzling brilliance, shining like a radiant sun in the sky.

"Go!"

With a flick of his finger, Gu He shouted loudly! The moment he shouted, the Vermilion Bird Illusion that had been suspended in the void turned into a blurry streak of light, shooting out like lightning.

Although the Vermilion Bird Illusion contained tremendous and formidable power, as it traversed through space, it did so in eerie silence. It didn't create any energy ripples, and its silent approach sent chills down the hearts of onlookers.

Atop the city wall, Medusa stared at the hasty streak of light flashing across the sky. Even though she hadn't directly confronted Gu He, she could sense the terrifying energy within the Vermilion Bird Illusion. A hint of panic and unease flickered across her exquisite face, and her jade-like hands tightened.

She knew that the four elders and the human in front of them had truly unleashed their finishing moves. The outcome of this battle might be determined very soon!

Beside her, Moon Beauty and Mobas trembled, their palms wiping away the cold sweat on their foreheads. Even for those who were at the level of Emperor Rank, this overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying energy made them feel extremely small and fragile.

This kind of power was far beyond their reach!

The colossal cyan energy serpent, as it came into contact with the oncoming Vermilion Bird Illusion, started to disperse rapidly. Within the blink of an eye, the fierce giant serpent vanished from the sky, leaving only a slightly mournful hissing sound, echoing in the sky until it faded away.

From the moment they first released their attack, they'd been mentally preparing for the worst. If they failed to defeat Gu He, it meant they would face annihilation.

Then the Vermilion Bird Illusion burst out in a brilliant display of fiery light and heat, as it blazed toward the rapidly undulating colossal snake illusion in the sky.

The size of the Vermilion Bird Illusion was almost negligible compared to the immense serpent. Their collision appeared like a bird crashing into a mountain, without causing the latter to tremble. However, one couldn't judge everything solely by the difference in size.

"Overestimating your abilities!"

As the Vermilion Bird Illusion dove into the massive serpent, a cold and disdainful shout thundered through the heavens like lightning!

Boom!

The shout reverberated across the sky. Immediately after, a fiery explosion erupted above the gigantic snake illusion. This was followed by a deafening explosion that rocked the heavens!

The explosive roar echoed through the sky. A terrifying energy storm surged from the point of collision between the Vermilion Bird Illusion and the giant serpent, then spread to a radius of hundreds of meters around!

Under this dreadful energy storm, even the people present, including the snake people on the city wall, felt a sense of alarm. Some with less agility experienced piercing pain in their eardrums.

The fiery red clouds that had once filled the sky reflected a crimson glow. The thick firestorm shrouded the sky above the Temple of Medusa. Even the sunlight dimmed, unable to penetrate the heavy veil of flames and clouds.

The fiery waves and dense green energy mixed and swept across the sky. The undulating wave of energy resembled a surging tide as it spread in all directions.

Terrifying flames swept over the area, causing distress even to the snake people who had managed to escape the path of the firestorm. Some more sluggish individuals were directly struck by the fiery waves and, with their chests feeling as if they'd been hit by a heavy hammer, spewed a mouthful of blood mixed with scorching heat, which evaporated instantly under the high-temperature fire waves.

Even the sunlight that descended from the sky gradually dissipated under the influence of the fiery storm, and the countless flames seemed to engulf the entire sky, obscuring the Temple of Medusa. The snake people on the city wall were bewildered and silenced by this powerful energy.

In the face of the overwhelming power, not even the Emperor Rank snake people were willing to confront it, instead quickly descending from the city wall to avoid being tainted by the fire waves, fearing a miserable end.

Boom! The sound of an earth-shattering explosion thundered across the heavens as the relentless and intense fiery wave collided with the colossal green energy serpent. Amid the cacophony, a fearsome tornado of energy engulfed the surroundings, sweeping everything within a radius of hundreds of meters!

Under the influence of the horrifying firestorm, everyone, even those on the city wall, was stunned. They wiped away cold sweat, and even the Emperor Rank snake people had a sense of their own insignificance and vulnerability in the face of this nearly god-like force.

This level of power far exceeded their own!

The colossal cyan energy serpent, as it first came into contact with the oncoming Vermilion Bird Illusion, started to disperse rapidly, as though a snowflake had met scorching heat. In the blink of an eye, the roaring giant serpent had abruptly vanished from the sky, leaving only a slightly mournful hissing sound that echoed in the sky until it too disappeared.

In the aftermath of the explosion, as the monstrous fire wave swept in all directions, the snake people, even those on the city wall, were affected to some extent. Some of the more agile ones managed to evade the firestorm, but the less alert were directly struck by the fiery wave. Their chests felt as though they'd been hammered heavily, and they spat out a mouthful of crimson blood mixed with scorching heat, which rapidly evaporated in the high-temperature flames.

Even the sunlight raining down from the sky gradually dissipated under the influence of the fiery storm, and the countless flames seemed to enshroud the entire sky, obscuring the Temple of Medusa.

In the midst of the roaring firestorm, two figures remained motionless.

In the aftermath of the explosion, the countless gazes watched the lingering fiery storm slowly disperse in the sky. After a prolonged silence, the firestorm began to gradually dissipate. However, the two figures inside still hadn't moved.

Without a word, they waited. The tension among the onlookers was palpable. Had the four elders and the human perished in the firestorm?

After some time had passed, a sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced the sky. Subsequently, four figures shot out from the firestorm and fell to the ground.

The abrupt appearance of these four figures immediately drew the attention of the onlookers.

These four figures, however, seemed like birds with broken wings, falling helplessly towards the ground. Finally, in the midst of countless startled gazes, they landed heavily in the desert outside the city wall.

At this moment, Medusa had already realized what was happening. Her eyes followed the four figures as they were ejected from the raging firestorm. Her pupils contracted slightly.

The four elders had suffered another defeat!

"Hmph!"

Just as the snake people were in shock, a piercing sound of breaking wind echoed in the sky once again. Suddenly, the firestorm in the sky wriggled, and a white figure shot out from it. The Ice Armor outside the figure stood out conspicuously in the sky.

"Queen Medusa, do you have any more cards to play?"

In the void, Guhe descended slowly onto the Red Flame Magic Serpent. He then cast an icy gaze upon Queen Medusa, uttering indifferently, "Queen Medusa, I'll give you one last chance. Surrender the Green Lotus Core Flame, or the snake people will have no reason to exist."

Gu He's voice was like a resounding divine decree, chilling to the bone.

Upon hearing Gu He's cold voice, Queen Medusa's face turned pale, and she gritted her silver teeth, saying in a hoarse voice, "Alright, I can surrender the Green Lotus Core Flame, but you must promise not to harm the snake people anymore!"
