章 66: The Seal of Hai Bodong
Opposite the black-robed woman in the sky was a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair and a robust figure, though his true age was likely much greater than he appeared. This man was surrounded by a chilling mist, his ice-cold Dou Qi causing the temperature of the surrounding desert to plummet.
In his hand, the man held an ancient map depicting a lotus-shaped flame. This map was very similar to the one Xiao Yu held, but the black lines representing the routes were slightly different.
The black-robed woman, Medusa, regarded the middle-aged man with a hint of seduction in her gaze and said, "I've only heard of someone from the Jia Ma Empire who wielded ice-cold Dou Qi. What is your connection to them? Or perhaps you are the same person?"
The man smiled gently and replied, "Queen Medusa, I am the Ice Emperor, Hai bo Dong."
The black-robed woman facing Hai bo Dong was indeed Queen Medusa of the Snake People.
"Oh? It's you. What brings you to the Tagor Desert?" Medusa appeared unfazed by Hai bo Dong's recognition of her identity.
Hai bo Dong smiled and said, "I originally came for the Green Lotus Core Flame you hold. Since you already have it, I'll let it go. However, I intend to take the map."
Medusa blinked her long eyelashes and smiled lightly, "The Green Lotus Core Flame was originally obtained by me, and the map was right beside it, also taken by me. You're trying to claim it as yours after a sneak attack. Is this appropriate?"
Hai bo Dong remained unperturbed, "The Green Lotus Core Flame was discovered by both of us, though you got to it first. How about we split the treasure in half?"
At this moment, the two black-robed figures behind Medusa spoke up angrily, "Despicable human! Everything here belongs to the Snake People. Why should we split it with you?"
Hai bo Dong frowned slightly and asked, "And who might you two be?"
"I am the Grand Elder of the Snake People!"
"I am the Second Elder of the Snake People!" both declared in unison.
Hai bo Dong quickly cupped his hands in respect and said, "My apologies. So, you are the two elders of the Snake People. Please, do not be so enraged. Since things cannot be settled by negotiation, let's say that whoever holds the treasure gets to keep it. The Heavenly Flame is yours, the map is mine!"
Hai bo Dong, realizing he was at a disadvantage, knew that facing the eight-star Dou Emperor Medusa and the two high-ranking Dou Kings would be extremely unfavorable for him. As a mid-level five-star Dou Emperor relying on ice-cold Dou Qi, his strength was roughly comparable to a six-star Dou Emperor but still lacking against a ruthless character like Medusa.
"So, you're not going to return the map?" Medusa's beautiful face had a hint of coldness in her violet eyes.
Hai Bo Dong sensed that Medusa was about to lose her temper. He clenched his hands slightly, and the moisture in the air around him instantly froze. An icy spear, pure white and shimmering, appeared in his hand!
Medusa smiled lightly, then flipped her hand to make the Green Lotus Core Flame disappear. Her pale fingers then radiated a faint purple energy wave, indicating deadly poison.
Hai Bo Dong's expression turned serious. Facing the formidable Queen Medusa, he called out, "Ice Spirit Armor!" A thick, glistening ice armor quickly formed in front of him, protecting his body.
Medusa's hands summoned two purple serpentine energy whips, which she sent hurtling towards Hai Bo Dong.
Hai Bo Dong swept his spear, causing numerous ice shards to appear and strike the serpentine whips. A terrifying cold air surged once again, as Hai Bo Dong prepared to strike first.
With a flap of his icy wings, Haibo Dong's speed increased dramatically. Medusa, meanwhile, manifested a pair of fiery red wings behind her, and dual red swords appeared in her hands as she advanced towards Haibo Dong!
Boom! Bam! Bam!
Hai Bo Dong and Medusa's figures became streaks of light, continuously clashing in the sky with deafening roars. The violent energy spread around, creating cyclones that forced the two Snake People Elders to wield their staffs to resist the blast.
The battle between two high-level Dou Emperors was beyond the capability of Dou Kings like the Snake People Elders to interfere in!
When Medusa's energy swords clashed with Haibo Dong's ice spear again, a cracking sound was heard. Haibo Dong's spear developed visible cracks!
Boom!
The cold Dou Qi within Hai Bo Dong surged, using the rebound force to quickly retreat from the battlefield. He swept his spear, forcing several drops of deep purple liquid to fall onto the sand, which began to hiss and turn dark purple.
"Such powerful poison!" Haibo Dong was alarmed. He had to constantly defend against Medusa's attacks while also resisting her poison!
At this moment, several auras approached from the distance. Medusa's brows furrowed slightly. She could sense that among the approaching auras was a Dou Emperor, and they were all human. Continuing this fight would not be advantageous for her.
"Bring out the incomplete map!" Medusa's voice had turned icy, full of murderous intent.
Hai bo Dong smiled. The map was already safely stored in his spatial ring. He too sensed the approaching auras and planned to create chaos once they arrived before making his escape.
"If you want the map, come and get it!" Hai Bo Dong said with a smile.
Medusa fell silent. Hai Bo Dong sensed a hint of danger and frowned at her. Medusa's energy sword disappeared from her hand, and she formed a strange hand seal with her hands. Suddenly, a red-hot sphere appeared.
Medusa's aura surged, and she directed it towards the sphere, chanting, "Serpent Seal Spell!"
Haibo Dong realized something was amiss and watched as the red sphere transformed into a tiny snake pattern, speeding towards him!
Hai Bo Dong's Dou Qi wings flapped violently, trying to escape the area, but the snake pattern followed him relentlessly.
Buzz!
A faint sound, and Hai bo Dong couldn't avoid it. The snake pattern touched his forehead and flashed a glimmer before vanishing into his mind. Numerous energy threads extended from his mind, sealing his Dou Qi.
Hai bo Dong felt his Dou Qi rapidly depleting, his strength dropping from Dou Emperor to Dou King. However, to his dismay, it did not stop at Dou King but fell to Dou Spirit level!
