Chapter 36: Sudden Attack

The night was as dark as ink, without a trace of moonlight. Endless dark clouds gathered in the sky above the Great Tagore Desert.

In the side palace, Chen Mo had already been awake for a long time. After meditating for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Chen Mo swallowed the Dou Shi Pill and planned to break through to 6-star Dou Master that night.

The Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique circulated. Inside and outside the side palace, the vigorous Dou Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed irregularly, then surged into Chen Mo's body.

In the bedroom next door, Queen Medusa was handling tribal affairs. When she sensed this change, the Moon Slave's voice sounded from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the Great Elder is looking for you!"

Queen Medusa furrowed her brows. Over the past few days, she had abolished several unreasonable rules of the clan. Today, when she planned to abolish another rule, she was strongly opposed by the Three Great Elders. They even planned to gather the leaders of the Eight Great Tribes to vote together, but they were all rejected by her.

Looking for her so late, could it be for this matter again?

Queen Medusa stopped what she was doing and walked out.

Not long after Queen Medusa left, a snake-man guard reported to the Moon Slave, "Commander, Leader Mo Ba Si is looking for you."

The Moon Slave frowned. She originally wanted to reject the request, but thinking that the Queen was not in the palace and that Mo Ba Si was the previous commander of the palace guards, she decided to meet him.

"You, and you, follow me." The Moon Slave pointed at two subordinates and left the palace.

Not long after the Moon Slave left, the snake-woman guard on the other side of the door suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. She hurriedly held her stomach and left.

...

The night was cold as water.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the entire palace suddenly fell into silence. Suddenly, a few black shadows flashed past the corridor. Under the illumination of the light, a few sturdy snake-man figures shone on the wall. They quietly sneaked into the palace and headed towards the Queen's bedroom like ghosts.

In the side chamber of Queen Medusa's palace, as the boundless Dou Qi flowed into his body, Chen Mo had already reached the crucial point of breaking through. In at most a few minutes, he would be able to break through to a seven-star Dou Shi. The window wasn't closed, and a cool breeze blew in from the window, lifting Chen Mo's robe a little.

Suddenly, a few black shadows flashed by outside the door. A snake shadow also appeared at the window like a ghost, staring at Chen Mo who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

The wind stopped blowing. At a certain moment, Chen Mo abruptly opened his eyes. What he saw was a spear being thrown at him. His expression changed as he hurriedly urged the Heavenly Abyss within his body. Just as the spear was about to reach his head, a sword light flashed, and the spear exploded into pieces.

"What?"

The serpent-man at the window was shocked. He saw a blue sword floating in front of the human. Under the candlelight, a cold light flashed through the blade.

"Who are you?" Chen Mo sped up his breakthrough as he spoke to stall for time.

"The person who will kill you!"

The serpent-man at the window flashed and rushed toward Chen Mo.

"Ninth Heavens Sword Descent!" Chen Mo shouted and used his mind to control Heaven Abyss. After the favorability coins reached 100, he had used them to upgrade the Heaven and Earth Sword Body to perfection. His body turned into a sword embryo, and as it was nurtured day by day, it could increase the grade of the sword. Most importantly, he could control the flying sword and use skills.

"How is this possible?" The serpent-man looked as if he had seen a ghost. The scene in front of him refreshed his view of the world. However, he still pretended to be calm and coldly shouted, "Pretending to be mysterious!"

A boundless aura surged out from his body. Under the system's detection, he was actually a nine-star Dou Grandmaster.

He was entangled with the Heavenly Abyss. At this moment, the door opened and three serpent-men walked in. Under the system's detection, they were a four-star Dou Spirit, a three-star Dou Spirit, and a one-star Dou Spirit. They quickly closed the door behind them.

"How dare you barge into Her Majesty's palace." Chen Mo's face darkened. Following a muffled sound, a wave of Dou Qi surged out from his body. He had broken through to seven-star Dou Master. With this strength, Chen Mo had the confidence to deal with a Dou Grandmaster. However, the difference in strength between a seven-star Dou Shi and a four-star Dou Spirit was too great. If he faced them head-on, Chen Mo did not have much confidence.

"Hmph, a mere human like you dares to bewitch Her Majesty, at Queen Medusa's palace. This is a capital offense." The four-star Dou Spirit slowly moved toward Chen Mo.

"This is within Her Majesty's permission. Aren't you afraid that Her Majesty will punish you for doing this?"

"We are of the same race as Her Majesty. Even if we kill you, Her Majesty will not take our lives. Go, kill him!" The four-star Dou Spirit waved his hand and guarded the door. He allowed the three-star and one-star Dou Spirits behind him to surround and kill Chen Mo. Even if the human grew wings, he would not be able to escape.

"Moon Slave Commander, save me!" Chen Mo shouted loudly as he condensed his Dou Qi into a sword.

"Dou Qi Condensation?" The two Dou Spirits who rushed forward were slightly stunned. This was a technique that only Dou Spirits could use. How could a Dou Master know it?

"What are you waiting for? There is not much time, quickly kill him!" The four-star Dou Spirit shouted.

The two Dou Spirits did not hesitate and quickly rushed toward Chen Mo. His face was serious. After shouting for so long, there was no movement. It seemed that the guards had been sent away. This was a premeditated attack.

Although humans and Snake-People had feuds, Chen Mo remembered that he had never offended any Snake-People. Instead, he had saved a group of Snake-People. Even if they did not like him, there was no need for them to go against Queen Medusa and assassinate him. Suddenly, Mo Ba Si's face appeared in Chen Mo's mind. Before he came to the Snake-People Tribe, he had offended him. Maybe this matter was related to him. He was the commander of the palace guards before this. He was very clear about the defenses inside and outside the palace.

"I have to escape!" In a short few breaths, Chen Mo thought through everything. When the two of them rushed in front of him, a pair of golden wings shot out from behind him. With a flap of the wings, he soared into the sky and flew toward the window.

"Dou Qi turned into wings? Not good, quickly stop him!" The four-star Dou Spirit's face changed. Just as he was thinking about what was going on with the wings, he saw him flying toward the window. As he shouted, he flashed over.

Luckily, he was one step ahead of Chen Mo and blocked the window. "Die!"

The long sword in Chen Mo's hand trembled. He lifted the sword and waved it. A dazzling sword light shot toward the four-star Dou Spirit. A monstrous sword intent surged out. The four-star Dou Spirit turned into a long spear to block, but it was directly slashed by the dazzling sword light. The sword light exploded on his body. His armor burst open, and fresh blood dripped. Even so, it was not too serious for him.

"Die!" At this moment, Chen Mo had also rushed in front of him. The four-star Dou Spirit immediately leaped up and raised his fist to punch toward Chen Mo. But at this moment, Chen Mo's Kun Peng wings suddenly retracted. His speed dropped sharply, and his body fell.

The four-star Dou Spirit missed.

"Go, Heavenly Abbys!" Suddenly, a dazzling sword light shot toward the door. Chen Mo stepped on the flying sword. The long sword in his hand blasted open the door, and he rushed out.
