The spatial storm struck the barrier in front of You Ruo, but failed to break through it.
After all, this was just a spatial energy imbalance and disturbance, and the resulting impact was not too troublesome.
However, after blocking the impact of the spatial storm, You Ruo did not stay here carelessly. She took a slight step back and cautiously looked at the center of the formation.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a tall, slender figure stepped out from within the portal constructed of silver spatial power within the array.
"boom!"
Sensing this aura, You Ruo's aura suddenly changed, and a strong, icy aura appeared in her eyes. The seven-colored Devouring Python spirit appeared behind her, coiling around her and tearing down towards her.
Amidst You Ruo's terrifying attack, streaks of dazzling battle aura enveloped the center of the formation, sending chills down the spines of Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong who were watching from the sidelines.
Hai Bodong recalled the days when he was sealed by Medusa. Looking at the crazed You Ruo, he showed a look of lingering fear and took another step back.
Jia Xingtian looked at You Ruo's frenzied attacks with a look of surprise on his face. He then looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King beside him and asked hesitantly, "Shouldn't we... intervene?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's enormous head glanced at the figure enveloped by the dazzling attack.
To be honest, they were surprised that what emerged from the formation was actually a human figure.
They initially thought such terrifying array fluctuations meant the appearance of some ancient powerful being's cave dwelling...
After all, there have been precedents for this before.
Unexpectedly, a human figure appeared at the end.
Furthermore, why did Medusa attack immediately upon the appearance of the opponent?
Before Jia Xingtian could even see the face of the figure that emerged from the formation, Medusa's attack had already enveloped him, just as the figure had taken a step.
Although he didn't know the other party's identity, as You Ruo made his move, he also sensed the terrifying aura emanating from this figure.
Seeing You Ruo suppressing such an unknown powerhouse, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but look at Medusa with admiration.
However, he always felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"boom!"
Xiao Fan had just stepped out of the silver space portal in mid-air and hadn't even had time to check if his position was correct when he sensed You Ruo's presence through the contractual connection with her.
The moment he sensed You Ruo's aura, a bright smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face.
With arms outstretched, I was all ready, wondering how I would embrace Her Majesty the Queen once we were outside.
However, Xiao Fan did not expect that he had just met You Ruo.
What greeted him was neither a long-awaited embrace nor a complaint filled with resentment.
It was actually an attack from a Dou Zong level expert at full strength!
Xiao Fan was stunned, but he also sensed through their telepathic connection that You Ruo's actions were mainly motivated by venting her anger.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Xiao Fan neither fought back nor dared to.
One hand protected his head, the other hand protected his... other head, and he curled up, letting You Ruo beat and scold him.
Under Xiao Fan's full-force defense, he even had to carefully control the fighting spirit within his body, for fear that he might accidentally cause a backlash from his fighting spirit and injure You Ruo.
In the sky, under the watchful eyes of Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, You Ruo used Xiao Fan as a punching bag for the entire duration of an incense stick burning.
In the sky, seven-colored energy surged continuously, and dazzling battle qi enveloped Xiao Fan.
Meanwhile, the seven-colored Sky-Swallowing Python in mid-air exhaled terrifying energy, constantly enveloping Xiao Fan.
Jia Xingtian and the Amethyst Winged Lion King had already retreated to where Hai Bodong was. The group stood in mid-air, looking at the energy spreading in the sky, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
"Is this Medusa's power...?"
Jia Xingtian felt the surging energy in mid-air; any one of it landing on him would likely result in serious injury at best.
Seeing Medusa's ferocious appearance, Jia Xingtian felt a chill run down his spine.
Even before Xiao Fan was attacked by You Ruo, he had not chosen to fight back, and everyone had already recognized Xiao Fan.
They never expected that the former genius of the Xiao family would be able to withstand the attacks of a Dou Zong-level expert without being at a disadvantage.
Seeing that even though You Ruo was attacking with all her might, Xiao Fan still didn't make a move and only focused on protecting himself, everyone could see that even though You Ruo's strength was terrifying.
They were so terrifying that a single, casual attack could kill them, but in front of Xiao Fan, even a Dou Zong-level expert seemed insignificant...
So, what level of strength must Xiao Fan himself have reached?
Jia Xingtian and the others looked down at the slowly disappearing formation, and the rich aura contained within it seemed to still hold the answer in their hearts.
You Ruo's outburst continued for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before the force in her hands gradually weakened.
Noticing that You Ruo's strength had weakened, Xiao Fan flashed forward and pulled her into his arms, his voice filled with self-reproach: "I'm sorry I'm late..."
Being enveloped by Xiao Fan, You Ruo felt a little awkward, especially since it was in front of everyone. She impatiently tried to push Xiao Fan away, but found that she couldn't do it at all, so she had to give up in the end.
"Let go!"
Through telepathic communication, You Ruo spoke to Xiao Fan, and then instantly disappeared from the spot.
Xiao Fan stared at the direction where You Ruo disappeared, grinning foolishly. Looking down at the formation that had merged into the ground, he just wanted to curse, "What a rip-off!"
Chapter 229 Her Majesty, it's a one-on-one duel! (Fourth update)
Xiao Fan originally thought that he could teleport to the Monster Mountain Range in an instant.
He hadn't expected that the formation would have such a drawback.
Xiao Fan is now a Dou Zun level expert. Although he is teleported from Zhongzhou to the Jia Ma Empire through this formation, the source coins arrive in an instant.
It's a pity that although teleportation is instantaneous, constructing an array is not.
The Jia Ma Empire is located in the northwestern part of the Dou Qi Continent, an extremely remote location where both the Dou Qi in the air and other forms of energy are much weaker.
Therefore, while the Dou Zong who could easily tear through space in the Jia Ma Empire could do so in the more prosperous Zhongzhou, very few people could.
This is because the prosperity of Zhongzhou was not only reflected in its people.
The fighting spirit and spatial power in Zhongzhou have also become much stronger.
The spatial power is abundant, and the space is extremely stable. Therefore, the power required to tear through space is also much greater. So, if a Dou Zong from here were placed in Zhongzhou, unless they were a true genius or had exceptional combat power, very few people would be able to tear through space at will.
This also illustrates how scarce energy is in the Northwest Continent.
After Xiao Fan used the formation, he stepped into it. However, it would take quite a while for the Flash Shadow Teleportation Array to build up its energy here.
The Gama Empire, lacking energy, was unable to withstand such a terrifying aura and could not even construct a teleportation array.
The only way to complete the teleportation is to continuously gather spatial power within the Gama Empire through the power of the array. Only when there is enough spatial power can the teleportation be completed.
This is also why You Ruo and the others noticed the anomaly at the beginning.
The spatial power of the entire Gama Empire was flowing in this direction. As some of the strongest individuals within the empire, it would be strange if they didn't notice it.
As Xiao Fan watched You Ruo leave, he knew that there were too many people here, and You Ruo, as the queen of the snake people, rarely interacted with people. If it weren't for Xiao Fan's connection, she probably wouldn't have had much contact with the Xiao family either.
Xiao Fan temporarily suppressed his longing for You Ruo and turned his gaze to Hai Bodong and the others in the distance. He smiled and said, "Lion King, Elder Hai, Senior Xing Tian, it's been a long time!"
Just as he finished speaking, two figures emerged from the forest and landed behind Jia Xingtian and the others. Xiao Fan's gaze fell on them, and he said, "President Fa Ma, I thought you were going to keep hiding."
"Hehe, we were a little slow in getting here."
When Fa Ma spoke, he wasn't lying. When Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong had already left the capital, he was refining pills, which caused the delay.
When he arrived, he happened to witness You Ru beating Xiao Fan. Noticing the fierce battle that had broken out, Fa Ma hesitated outside.
He didn't come in until he sensed that the battle here had ended, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by Xiao Fan as soon as he arrived.
"Alright, I will come to visit you seniors in three days. However, I have not been home for a long time, so I am afraid I will be impolite."
Xiao Fan had no intention of having much contact with them, since the main reason he came back was You Ruo.
Xiao Fan had spoken so much with these people because it was just a coincidence that they had run into each other. It would have been rather impolite to leave directly, so he was very polite.
As soon as they finished speaking, Xiao Fan's figure disappeared, leaving Jia Xingtian and the others in mid-air looking at each other in bewilderment.
"this.........."
Watching Xiao Fan leave, Jia Xingtian shook his head and rubbed his forehead. Then the group exchanged glances and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"What's the big deal? Since he said we'd see each other again in three days, then we'll see each other then."
Hai Bodong seemed unaffected, with his hands behind his head, he swayed and headed towards the capital.
The remaining two, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma, exchanged a glance and decided not to stay any longer.
After all, the matter is clear: the reason for such terrifying fluctuations here is simply that Xiao Fan himself teleported back.
The terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Fan was so powerful that even Medusa's full-force attack couldn't break through his defenses. Perhaps his cultivation level truly has reached the legendary level...
As for the teleportation array, such a secret is not something Jia Xingtian and the others would willingly seek to kill.
Following behind Hai Bodong, Xing Tian mounted the Nether Sea Dragon Beast on his feet and headed back towards the capital.
As the others dispersed, only the Amethyst Winged Lion King remained—no, a lion. After hesitating for a moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King headed towards the direction of the Snake-People.
Although he didn't know where Xiao Fan and You Ruo had gone, he felt that the two probably wouldn't return to the Snake People's Clan so soon.
The entire Serpent-People race has now activated a war alert due to this inexplicable energy and is fully prepared for war. The Amethyst Winged Lion King felt it best to go and warn them first…

Swish!
