Chapter 145

The moment Xiao Ning's words fell, everyone turned silent, and one could even hear the rustling of trees as the wind blew. 

The wind blew away the leaves from the trees and scattered them all over the place. It was as if the trees and vegetation nearby possessed spiritual thoughts and began to mourn for the Misty Cloud Sect. 

"Yes, my lord," The four Dou Emperors bowed to Xiao Ning and removed the black cloth revealing their identity. 

The next moment, fear replaced the shock in their hearts. The four Dou Emperors were none other than the four tribe leaders of the snake-people clan. The ferocity of this clan was embedded in their souls. 

Especially the older generation present knew better; the moment the snake-people clan tribe leaders revealed their identities, it meant that today, it would be difficult for them to leave Misty Cloud Sect alive. Not to mention, whether Misty Cloud Sect could protect itself was also unknown. 

The four Dou Emperors released their dou qi and locked their targets. 

...

After seeing their faces, everyone froze. Yun Yun, Yun Leng, Hai Bo Dong, and Nalan Jie couldn't be more familiar with them. The four tribe leaders were generals under the Queen Medusa of the snake-people clan. 

To the people of the Jia Ma Empire, they were the devils who slaughtered thousands, and even some famous Dou Kings also fell into their hands. 

What puzzled them was how they suddenly broke through from the ranks of Dou King and entered the Dou Emperor realm. 

Among the people present, Yun Yun, Hai Bo Dong, and Yun Shan could deal with Dou Emperors, but none made a move. They all stared at the person in a black robe beside Xiao Ning. 

They had faintly guessed that person's identity, but it terrified them. They couldn't help but sweat after thinking about it, and the only thing supporting them was the presence of Yun Shan, a Dou Ancestor. 

...

"Why are you attacking the Misty Could Sect? What benefits did Xiao Ning promise you?" Yun Yun being the sect leader, saw the crux of the problem. She knew there was no direct conflict between the Misty Cloud Sect and Snake-people Clan. 

She wanted to avoid fighting with them to reduce the casualties. After all, no one can come out unharmed after being targeted by four Dou Emperors. Many would lose their lives, and even she would have to fight a bitter battle. 

Everyone perked their ears, waiting for the Snake-people clan's answer. The four Dou Emperors looked back at the figure beside Xiao Ning and remained silent. 

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black figure removed the black cloth hiding her identity, and a breathtaking woman appeared. Her noble demeanor and unparalleled appearance shocked them. It was as if an immortal fairy had descended among the mortals. 

The moment she appeared, everyone looked dull, as if in a trance. It was the result of Medusa's innate charm ability. After breaking through her bloodline shackles, she could let a Dou Ancestor lose his mind if she wanted to. 

"Wake up!" Yun Yun was the first one to recover. She shouted; her voice let them regain their senses. 

Everyone looked at the enchanting figure with fear, and their backs were filled with sweat. They couldn't help but feel fortunate that no one took advantage of the situation and attacked them. 

As if knowing what they were thinking, a mocking sneer appeared on her glamorous face. How noble is she? How could she resort to such methods? 

"Why? You, ask?" 

"He is my husband, is this reason enough?" Medusa glanced at the silent Xiao Ning beside her with rare tenderness in her eyes. 

After hearing Medusa, everyone became silent, and their minds went blank. Her words crushed the little hope left in Yun Yun and Yun Shan's hearts. 

"How, how could this be possible?" Yun Leng roared madly. His voice was full of unwillingness and disbelief. 

Xiao Yan, who was concentrating on replenishing his dou qi, his dou qi almost ran out of control, and he coughed out blood, and his face turned white. 

...

Medusa waved her soft hand, and the four tribe leaders rushed forward to their targets. They blocked Yun Yun, Hai Bo Dong, Xiao Yan, and the other elders, leaving Yun Leng alone. 

Medusa stood still, but her qi locked on Yun Shan, stopping him from intervening. 

Xiao Ning sneered and rushed toward Yun Leng; his hand turned into a dragon claw, and he attacked Yun Leng. 

Yun Leng, although frightened, felt relieved after seeing Xiao Ning charging at him. He felt lucky for not being targeted by the Snake-people Dou Emperors. 

'Clang!' He palm struck Xiao Ning's dragon claw. The next moment, his face changed, and Yun Leng was forced back. 

Yun Leng glanced at his trembling arm in disbelief. 'How can a Dou Spirit be this strong?' He thought in his heart. 

After pressing down the emotions in his heart, Yun Leng noticed the mockery on Xiao Ning's face; anger and shame filled his heart. 

"How, how dare you?" With a ferocious expression, Yun Leng held a sword and attacked. After losing the frontal confrontation, he lost his calm. The only remaining thought in his head was to kill Xiao Ning. 

Even though Xiao Ning pushed him back in brute strength, Yun Leng didn't think a Dou Spirit would stand a chance against a Dou King like him. 

Xiao Ning swung his right arm and easily blocked the sword's light. The next moment a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the golden wings behind him glowed brightly. 

'Dragon Claw!' Xiao Ning's figure disappeared; he reappeared behind Yun Leng and attacked. 

'Ahhh!' A bloody arm flew in the air, and Yun Leng screamed. The blood gushed out of Yun Leng's shoulder, and his face turned pale. 

The next moment he turned around and looked into Xiao Ning's eyes, he felt as if death was staring at him. 

Everyone stopped and looked in their direction. Yun Yun and others tried to step forward and help him but they were blocked by others. 

"It's time to pay for your actions," Xiao Ning spoke coldly. His icy cold eyes looked at Yun Leng like he was staring at a dead man. 

"Sect Leader, Ancestor.... save me," Yun Leng shouted as he tried to fly away. Yet, before he could go any further, Xiao Ning tore another one of his limbs. 

Many disciples and even some elders closed their eyes as it was too brutal to watch.
