Chapter 81: Lure the Enemy and Kill Them
Three days later, in the Ice and Fire Valley.
Lin Yuan looked at Queen Medusa with a murderous look in her eyes and said slowly: "Queen, this challenge is not about how to defeat the three elders of Mulan. With our strength, it is not difficult to defeat them head-on. Therefore..."
"So what we really need to guard against is the possible escape of the three of them." Queen Medusa took over and said lightly.
Lin Yuan nodded, his expression solemn: "That's right. The key to this operation is to deprive the three Mulan elders of their ability to escape before they realize that they can't compete with us. Once they decide to retreat and escape with the strength of Dou Zong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to catch up. If they escape back to Mulan Valley and activate the Beast Spirit Gathering Formation, the situation will be complicated and there will be many more variables."
"Therefore, the best strategy is to fight quickly and decisively, and deal them a fatal blow the moment they confront me."
"I understand." Queen Medusa responded in a deep voice, with a firm light flashing in her eyes: "I will strictly implement your battle plan."
"Okay! We have prepared everything in the past few days, it's time to take action."
"Then I will set off according to the plan." After saying that, Queen Medusa spread her energy wings.
Just as Queen Medusa was about to flap her wings and leave.
"Queen," Lin Yuan called Queen Medusa and said softly in her puzzled eyes, "If something unexpected happens and there is a big risk, just give up the plan and notify me directly. I will come to pick you up."
"There are many ways to achieve your goal, but you only have one life, so please cherish it." There was a hint of seriousness in Piaomiao's voice.
"I know." Queen Medusa said lightly, turned around and flew towards the sky, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Then, I should also be ready." After saying that, Lin Yuan spread his wings and shot into the volcano in the Ice and Fire Valley.
In Mulan Valley, three old men sat upright. Their green robes were embroidered with totems of lions, tigers and bears. They were the famous Mulan elders.
Suddenly, the eyes of the old man with lion pattern became stern, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the void. Seeing this, the other two old men immediately cast inquiring glances: "What's wrong?"
"I seem to sense the breath of Queen Medusa. I will never mistake that breath." A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the old man with lion pattern, and then he said, "This breath comes from the direction of the black ice pool. Could it be that she wants to seize the ice jade marrow and so she fought with the sixth-level black ice green scale dragon? Let's go!"
The old man with bear pattern and the old man with tiger pattern said nothing more, nodded in tacit understanding, and followed the old man with lion pattern. As for the trap? The three of them together would be Dou Zong masters, so where can't they go in this northwest land? What's more, this is their base camp - the Mulan Empire.
At this moment, on the Black Ice Pond, Queen Medusa was fighting fiercely with the Black Ice Jade Scaled Dragon. However, she did not seem to have a strong desire to attack, but defended tightly. Suddenly, she felt the Purple Jade Scaled Snake on her arm agitated, and her eyes suddenly became sharp: "Have they passed the first point? It's time to leave!"
Then, she swung out a powerful energy stream, repelling the Black Ice Jade Scale Dragon. Then, she moved her body, turned into a rainbow light, and quickly flew towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Valley. Seeing this, the Black Ice Jade Scale Dragon did not pursue it. After all, its ice jade was still there, so there was no need to pursue it.
"She has noticed us and is running away." The old man with lion pattern felt the departure of Queen Medusa and said in a deep voice, "You two, give me a hand!"
The three of them looked at each other, nodded, and then formed a mysterious formation. Vigorous fighting spirit surged out of their bodies, interweaving with each other along the formation, forming a perfect cycle, connecting the three people's spirits.
After the cycle was completed, a terrifying beast roar filled with wildness erupted, and a blood-red energy enveloped the bodies of the three people. The auras that were originally fighting each other now merged into a whole, emitting a powerful aura comparable to that of a Dou Zong.
"Chase!" The old man with the lion pattern led the other two people and flew towards Queen Medusa. Their speed was a little faster than before, gradually closing the distance with Queen Medusa.
Queen Medusa flew to the area she had scouted previously and quickly sent a message to Lin Yuan through the Sky Network.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was standing on the Azure Lotus Seat, in the volcano of the Ice and Fire Valley. He was surrounded by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and as it swayed, the endless fire element energy of the entire volcano was attracted and controlled by him.
As the 19th ranked strange fire, the Qinglian Earth Core Fire is a strange fire formed by the compression of endless earth fire for thousands of years. It naturally has the ability to trigger volcanic energy, and when it is stimulated to the extreme, it can even cause a volcano to erupt.
"Already passed the reserved location two." Lin Yuan noticed the unusual movement of the purple jade snake in his hand, and immediately began to act according to the established combat plan.
"Qi Yuan Transformation!"
"Blood essence transformation!"
The two changes occurred simultaneously, causing his cultivation to skyrocket instantly, almost reaching the realm of a six-star Douhuang.
Afterwards, he entered the "empty and clear" state, which made him control the surging Dou Qi with ease. Coupled with the high-level earth-level skills, earth-level body-refining fighting skills, and the compression and explosion characteristics of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire that he practiced, Lin Yuan's combat power at this moment has far surpassed the average Dou Huang peak. He held an energy longbow in his hand, and the blue flames, blue Dou Qi, energy from heaven and earth, and the endless fire elements in the volcanic magma all gathered, rotated, and compressed the blue arrow on the energy longbow. This rapidly rotating blue arrow was like a black hole, condensing the surrounding energy here, and the shape of the arrow also became strange.
As Lin Yuan continued to gather more strange fire, fighting spirit, and fire element energy towards the blue arrow, the aura of the arrow became extremely dangerous. The extremely condensed and huge energy caused circles of space ripples to ripple at the arrow head, as if it could tear the space apart at any time and release destructive power.
Lin Yuan raised his bow and aimed at the distance, quietly waiting for the moment to shoot the arrow.
In the distant sky, the chase between Queen Medusa and the three elders of Mulan became more and more intense. She was about to reach the third scheduled meeting point, and the figures of the three elders of Mulan were looming not far behind her.
"Queen Medusa, since you are here in the Mulan Empire, why don't you come to my Mulan Valley and sit for a while? If you want ice chalcedony, I can do it for you, haha!" Looking at Queen Medusa in his sight, the lion-headed man's eyes became more fiery, and he laughed wildly and said loudly.
However, Queen Medusa did not respond. When she flew over the third location, she quickly sent a message to Lin Yuan through the Skynet, and then guided the three elders of Mulan to fly towards the scheduled meeting point.
"Rainbow Sword Light!" She swung the colorful sword in her hand, and several sword lights shot out like meteors, intending to delay the pursuit of the three elders of Mulan.
Seeing Queen Medusa speeding up her escape, the old man with lion pattern who controlled the power of Dou Zong sneered, easily crushed the sword beams, and then accelerated to chase her.
Lin Yuan, who received the message from Queen Medusa, looked stern and released the attack that had already been condensed in his hand.
"Heavenly Fire Tribulation·Sunset Shooting·Variation·Chasing and Killing!"
A peculiarly shaped green arrow shot out at high speed, its tail larger than that of an ordinary arrow, containing an extremely huge amount of energy. This move was the culmination of Lin Yuan's Dou Qi control as a Dou Qi practitioner, his fire control ability as an alchemist, and his soul power, and was the ultimate in point-to-point killing among his moves. This high-speed rotating arrow exuded an extremely dangerous aura, and could not be stopped by anyone other than a Dou Zong master.
At the same time, the blue and purple wings behind Lin Yuan suddenly flapped, and he flew forward at high speed following the blue arrow. During the flight, the energy of the sun continued to gather towards him, and the sun seal quickly condensed.
While Lin Yuan was flying in sync with the blue arrow, he was communicating with Queen Medusa about the battle situation and constantly adjusting the meeting point for the two. Soon, the auras of Queen Medusa and the three elders of Mulan appeared in his perception.
Soon after, a powerful energy wave emanated from the green fire arrow, instantly entering the perception of Queen Medusa, and also aroused the vigilance of the three elders of Mulan.
"This energy is extraordinary, but it doesn't seem to be directed at us." After sensing the flight trajectory of the arrow, the three elders of Mulan felt a little relieved, but they did not take it lightly. They quickly gathered energy protection and at the same time cast a vigilant look at the mysterious Douhuang behind the arrow.
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan smiled lightly, and he gently activated the soul power contained in the arrow. Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the tail of the green fire arrow, and along with the powerful energy release, the direction of the arrow changed dramatically in an instant, and shot straight towards the old man with bear patterns.
During this period of time, Lin Yuan has made in-depth improvements to the Skyfire Divine Shooting, with two main changes: first, it has incorporated the characteristics of earth-level fighting skills that borrow the energy of heaven and earth, greatly increasing its power; second, it has improved the structure of the arrow and added a turning mechanism, which can be controlled by the soul power that Lin Yuan has deposited on it, allowing it to easily complete several turns.
At the same time, Lin Yuan also activated the Sun Seal that he had condensed during the flight, launching a fierce attack on the old man with lion pattern. Queen Medusa seemed to have a telepathic connection with Lin Yuan, and she swung out a brilliant seven-colored sword aura, directly attacking the old man with tiger pattern.
In an instant, the three Mulan elders were simultaneously caught in two Dou Zong-level attacks and one Dou Huang-level attack, and the situation instantly became precarious.
Facing these three sudden attacks, the old man with lion pattern was ruthless and kept all his Dou Zong strength in himself, trying his best to resist the Sun Seal released by Lin Yuan that was like the setting sun. The old man with bear pattern desperately faced the blue arrow that seemed to be able to tear through space. And the old man with tiger pattern faced the colorful sword of Queen Medusa with a serious face.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" After three earth-shaking explosions, the results of the battle became apparent.
The old man with bear patterns was killed on the spot by the unstoppable attack of the Skyfire Divine Shooter that was powerful enough for a non-Douluo Sect leader.
Although the old man with lion pattern blocked the attack of the Sun Seal with the power of Dou Zong, he was also injured and weakened.
The old man with tiger stripes withdrew from the battle of qi with Queen Medusa and fled in the direction of Mulan Valley.
What was even more fatal was that with one death, one injury and one escape of the three elders of Mulan, the effect of the Three Beasts Savage Art they had previously performed had been lifted, and the power of the Dou Zong also dissipated.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice: "Queen, go chase the one who escaped and tie him up. I will go over after I finish dealing with this one."
"Keep communications open."
I spent a lot of time thinking about this chapter, trying to write about the kind of combat style based on intelligence and communication in modern warfare. In summary, Lin Yuan used the communication advantage created by the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to charge and launch a Dou Zong-level attack from a distance, and condensed another Dou Zong-level attack during the synchronous flight. Through the advantage of long-distance communication, he guided the Queen to guide the enemy to the attack point, and as soon as they met, the enemy with only one Dou Zong's power faced two Dou Zong-level attacks. This completed the situation of a decisive battle when they met, and prevented the three elders of Mulan from running away with the Dou Zong-level power. My writing skills are limited, so I don't know if this flavor has been written out.
