Chapter 141: Hidden Title

Medusa's smile was so charming and seductive, but Xiao Ming had no intention of appreciating this touching scene.

The meaning of Medusa's words made Xiao Ming's face turn cold and he said without the slightest fluctuation in his tone: "Queen Medusa, what do you mean by this? The Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit in exchange for the Sand's Datura is more beneficial than harmful to you. This is not enough to you, and you still want to imprison me in the Snake-People Tribe?"

"Hehe, you can't say I'm imprisoning you, I just want you to help us refine the pill, don't worry, after you help us, we will naturally let you go, moreover, we will take care of the ingredients for the pill."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Disagree?" Medusa said nothing, but the Grand Commander, not far from her seat, coldly sneered and said, "Agreeing is your only option! Do you think you can get out of here by being a mere Dou King?"

After saying that, the Grand Commander stood up, and with a flick of his snake tail, he turned into a black shadow and shot out towards Xiao Ming.

Seeing the Grand Commander's movement, Yue Mei could not stand still, Xiao Ming was brought by her to the Sacred City, she did not want anything to happen to Xiao Ming here.

So she immediately stood up and tried to stop the Grand Commander, but Medusa, who was on the top of the Amethyst Throne only looked at her faintly, causing her to immediately stop her actions.

Queen Medusa's meaning was clear, telling Yue Mei not to interfere with the Grand Commander.

Yue Mei still held Xiao Ming in high regard, he gave her a different feeling than other human powerhouses she had seen before, and he was also the most beautiful person she had ever seen.

That was why she had stood up just now, but under Medusa's orders, although she had some reluctance in her heart, she could only watch helplessly as the Grand Commander beat Xiao Ming.

After all, she and Xiao Ming had just met today, and no matter how highly she thought of him, it would not make her disobey Queen Medusa's orders.

'I can't change Her Majesty's decision, I just hope that the Grand Commander won't hit him too hard.' Yue Mei sighed lightly in her heart.

Looking at the bald Grand Commander flying towards him, Xiao Ming coldly snorted and moved his hand to put the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit in his storage ring.

After Xiao Ming finished this action, the Grand Commander had already appeared in front of him.

Looking at Xiao Ming's defined and handsome face, the corner of the Grand Commander's mouth drew a frightening arc as he clenched his right hand and punched towards him, and in an instant, a loud bang was heard.

"Son of a bitch, I haven't liked your nasty looks for a long time, let's see if you don't die this time!"

As expected, his fist struck Xiao Ming, who was sitting down, but he showed no joy.

As he watched his fist smash through Xiao Ming's head, turning his seat into dust, his face was unusually ugly.

'Was it the afterimage left by excessive speed? This stinking brat is just a Dou King, how can he be so fast!?'

Looking at the slowly dissipating Xiao Ming in front of him, before the Grand Commander had time to look around and figure out where Xiao Ming was, he felt a strong breeze coming from behind his head.

"Hmph! So what if you're fast? It's just a dream if you're thinking of fighting me with your speed alone!"

With a cold snort, the Grand Commander swung his tail, and a dense piece of snake scales emerged from his tail, glowing with green Dou Qi mixed with cold energy, the snake tail fiercely smashed against the place where the strong breeze was coming from.

Boom!

The moment they came into contact, a dull and low sound thundered out, and a terrifying energy ripple fiercely spread out, causing both Xiao Ming and the bald Grand Commander to retreat several steps back in quick succession.

Looking at Xiao Ming, who was smashing into the Grand Commander without going to a disadvantage, Medusa and Yue Mei showed a bit of surprise in their gaze, they did not expect that Xiao Ming could actually have such accomplishments in his physical body, which was no worse than those Dou Emperor who specialized in body training.

Feeling a slight tingle in his tail from the collision with Xiao Ming, a trace of surprise flashed in the Grand Commander's eyes, which quickly faded away. Only to see him glaring at Xiao Ming who stood in front of him, a grimace on his face.

"Heh, I didn't expect you little brat to have a few skills, I really underestimated you, but I would like to see how long you can last in front of me."

After saying that, the Grand Commander approached Xiao Ming again.

After looking at Medusa, who remained calm on top of the amethyst throne, and then at the Grand Commander who was chasing after him, the coldness in Xiao Ming's eyes grew heavier and heavier.

'Looks like a peaceful settlement isn't going to work, hmph, in that case, I'm going to take advantage of the fact that Medusa hasn't made a move yet to teach this asshole Snake-People Commander who's been talking out of his ass a lesson.'

Xiao Ming had been putting up with the Grand Commander for some time now, seeing that he was full of malice towards him from the very first moment, as if he owed him money and had not paid him back.

With his mind set on teaching the Grand Commander a lesson, Xiao Ming's back vibrated and a burst of silver lightning appeared in the Great Hall as he dodged the Grand Commander's attack with terrifying speed and flew out.

"Trying to flee?" The Grand Commander, who had blocked the attack, had a grim look on his face, and his back also vibrated as green-colored wings appeared on his back.

"Hmph, I'm going to see where you can escape!" After saying this, the Grand Commander flew out of the Great Hall like a black shadow.

Just as he rushed out of the Great Hall, the Grand Commander realized that Xiao Ming was not fleeing in the distance as he had imagined, but was waiting for him in midair.

"Human, aren't you going to flee?"

"'Flee'? Heh, I feel the need to teach a noisy baldie like you a lesson first." Xiao Ming said indifferently.

The Grand Commander smiled angrily at his words, "Hmph, arrogant!".

As he said that, the green-colored Dou Qi on his body rose even more violently by almost three meters or more, and then, a powerful pressure shot out, looking from afar, it seemed as if it was a green-colored giant.

'Whether it is arrogance or not, you will know later,' looking lightly at the bald Grand Commander, Xiao Ming said mockingly in his heart.

'Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change: Ten Thousand Beasts Transformation!'

Xiao Ming's hand moved rapidly as he slowly recited the words in his heart, and when the last word fell, the seal on his hand abruptly froze, and majestic red flames surged furiously from Xiao Ming's body, engulfing him in flames!

A second later, the aura on Xiao Ming's body completely retracted into his body, so that an instant later, his aura gushed out like a volcano that had broken the shackles of the earth!

Flaming red Dou Qi erupted from Xiao Ming's body and pierced through the sky, the hot flames directly caused the temperature of the Sacred City around him to rapidly rise.

At this moment, Xiao Ming's aura had already far surpassed the level of a Dou King, and when measured vaguely, it was at least enough to be comparable to a four-star Dou Emperor!

At the entrance of the Great Hall, Medusa looked at Xiao Ming in the sky and thought to herself.

'He really does have a Heavenly Flame.'

Previously, Queen Medusa was very surprised that the fire attribute Dou Qi inside Xiao Ming's body was so strong, with the brain circuitry of an ordinary person, it was naturally hard to think that Xiao Ming possessed a Heavenly Flame, however, Medusa had been tangled up these past few days on whether or not to use the tribe's secret method to ascend to Dou Ancestor, and this secret method would require a Heavenly Flame.

Therefore, the first thing Medusa associated was that the fire attribute in Xiao Ming's body was so strong due to some kind of flame and that this flame was most likely a Heavenly Flame.

This was why she had forced Xiao Ming to stay earlier, in order to provoke him into making a move, and to her surprise, she was actually right.

Of course, forcing him to stay was not just to check if he had a Heavenly Flame, but to make the other party actually stay.

The Snake-People race's secret method was extremely risky, and now that she could get her hands on a pill that avoided those risks, she naturally wanted to use the method that wasn't risky.

People who could refine seventh-tier pills were rare in the North-Western Region, and those were existences that the Snake-People Tribe could not mess with.

If Xiao Ming fled, who would she find to refine this pill?

Xiao Ming not only had a Heavenly Flame, he would also be able to refine seventh-tier pills in the future.

With all that, Queen Medusa had even less intention of letting Xiao Ming leave, and if Xiao Ming failed to refine the pill, she could still borrow the Heavenly Flame from the other party to evolve.

In short, Queen Medusa wanted both.

Although the move to force Xiao Ming to stay might offend the Jia Nan Academy.

However, the Jia Nan Academy was so far away from the Tager Desert, that by the time they found out that Xiao Ming had not appeared for a long time, she would probably have already advanced to Dou Ancestor a long time ago.

There was no need for her to fear the Jia Nan Academy when she advanced to Dou Ancestor.

Even if she failed to advance, Queen Medusa had nothing to fear.

This was because, although Queen Medusa intended to keep Xiao Ming in the Snake-People Tribe, she did not intend to mistreat him, as long as the Jia Nan Academy came looking for him, the Snake-People Tribe would let him go and provide proper compensation.

Although there were some risks, they were insignificant compared to the opportunity to advance to Dou Ancestor and her Tribe's departure from the harsh environment of the Tager Desert.

No one knew what Queen Medusa was thinking, and overhead, the majestic aura of Xiao Ming and the Grand Commander swept across the entire Sacred City of the Snake-People Race, attracting the attention of everyone in the city.

"That's the Grand Commander! He's taking on a human!"

"What's going on!? How could a human enter the Sacred City?"

"I know! This human seems to have been brought in by Commander Yue Mei."

"Humans are sinister, cunning, and despicable scums! The Grand Commander is doing a good job, I hope he teaches him a lesson! Hehehehe."

Although, Xiao Ming's aura was very majestic and he was an expert at first glance.

However, those Snake-Peoples were not worried in the least and had great confidence in the strength of their bald Grand Commander.

It was reasonable that the Snake-People Tribe had nothing to worry about, currently, the Sacred City had gathered two Dou Emperors and two Dou Kings from their own Snake-People Race, both Dou Emperors being high-star, and Medusa was even at the peak of Dou Emperor.

With this strength, what else were they to worry about when the other party was only one person?

Therefore, there was only gloating on their faces at Xiao Ming's upcoming unfortunate fate.

Of course, Xiao Ming having an unfortunate fate was nothing more than their own delusion.

"I was thinking about what gave you so much confidence, so it turned out to be this secret technique to increase your strength for a short period of time."

The green-colored Dou Qi condensed into a substance around the bald Grand Commander's body, as he looked at Xiao Ming, whose strength had increased tremendously, his face had a hint of disdain.

This kind of secret technique to increase strength for a short period of time was actually very powerful, and the Snake-People Tribe also had this kind of secret technique, however, this kind of secret technique did not usually last for a long time.

Moreover, after using the secret technique, the other party's aura was still not as strong as his, so, was that all?

Just with that alone, was he planning to teach him a lesson? What a joke!

Boom!

After sucking all the released flames back into his body and raising his aura a little more, and feeling the surge of power inside his body, Xiao Ming did not say a word in retaliation, instead, his silver wings behind his back vibrated, and only a beam of light was seen, and in the next instant, he appeared above the Grand Commander's head, his right leg filled with red flames, as he fiercely kicked towards the Grand Commander.

'Damn it, this speed! Actually, it's twice as fast as before!' The Grand Commander was shocked by Xiao Ming's speed.

He hurriedly raised his hands to resist Xiao Ming's attack, and bang! Under the gaze of thousands of Snake-People, the Grand Commander was kicked from the sky to the ground by Xiao Ming, kicking up chunks of sand and dust.

Seeing this scene, the Snake-People fell silent.

Why was it so different from how they had imagined it?

At the entrance of the Great Hall, Queen Medusa chuckled and said, "You have a little strength, but still, you will have to stay with us."

Xiao Ming also knew that this kind of attack would at most cause the other party to suffer some light injuries, but to teach him a lesson, it was still far from being enough.

With a wave of Xiao Ming's palm, a small red energy sword appeared in his hand.

With a seemingly random technique, he fixed the small sword in the sky, and in an instant, the sky was covered with small red swords.

Xiao Ming was using the High Di Dou Technique, "Four Hells Sword Formation".

"You damned human scum, you were hiding your strength earlier!"

And at this moment, a shout rang out and the Grand Commander appeared above the sky again, only at this moment, the Grand Commander did not have the same calm as before, his arms were completely black and many black scales had fallen off.

The Grand Commander was really annoyed at this moment, the strength of Xiao Ming's attack just now was more than a level higher than when he was in the Great Hall before, and so was his speed.

That was why he was taken by surprise and was knocked to the ground by his opponent, and the flames enveloping his body were also very terrifying, and could easily disperse his Yin Cold Dou Qi.

Having suffered a loss at this moment, the Grand Commander was no longer so careless, and with a wave of his right hand, his aura suddenly became more intense, his toes lightly tapped the void, shooting his body upwards more than ten meters. His hands formed seals at lightning speed, and a low cry rang out, "Snake Skill: Ten Thousand Snake Bite."

As the voice fell, tens of thousands of snakes made of green energy appeared in the sky, and with a soft movement of his palm, the snakes shot out towards Xiao Ming like lightning, from the observers' point of view, it looked like a dense rain of green snakes.

'Insignificant trick'. This kind of scattered energy attack could only be considered a nuisance to someone of Xiao Ming's level, it was impossible to cause damage, it must be some kind of deception of the Grand Commander in making this kind of attack, however, Xiao Ming did not care, with a wave of his right hand, the small red swords he had released earlier, began to destroy the green snakes.

Chi chi!

Under everyone's gaze, the small red swords collided with the green snakes, causing the green snakes to be vaporized the moment they touched any of the small red swords.

"How is that possible!?" The Grand Commander had an incredulous look on his face.

'There is nothing impossible, how are you going to compare my swords made with Heavenly Flame wisps with your little snakes that you have created with ordinary Dou Qi? Ordinary Dou Qi is simply garbage in front of a Heavenly Flame.'

Xiao Ming Ming shook his head and without moving, he released a small sword in his hand that merged with the stream of swords, a white spot on that small sword was extremely difficult for anyone to notice.

Under the blows of the stream of swords, the small snakes released by the Grand Commander quickly disappeared, leaving only a small dark green snake resisting the siege of the small swords.

"I knew your bald head was thinking of playing a trick on me, hmph!" Although he didn't know what use the small snake had, Xiao Ming snorted coldly and decided to get rid of it.

Seeing that the little green snake couldn't hold on much longer, the Grand Commander's face changed greatly and he immediately formed a seal to retrieve it in his hand.

When the red swords lost their target, Xiao Ming's expression did not change and his hands formed a seal, those red swords immediately fused, the energy between heaven and earth converged on those swords, making them successfully fused, thus, creating a red sword of a size of twenty meters, which appeared before everyone's eyes.

Red flames burned on the red sword, and the terrifying temperature made the space around it seem to distort.

Without pausing for a moment, Xiao Ming waved his right hand and the red giant sword flew towards the Grand Commander.
