Medusa's body gradually disappeared into the void. This was Medusa. Her attack power might be the worst among the Yuan Kou, but when it came to escaping, Medusa was indeed very strong. As long as she retreated into the void, she was confident that she could escape from the battlefield even if she was surrounded by several swordmaidens.
Tian Cumulus Cloud gritted her teeth. Unless she sealed the void, there was no way to keep Medusa.
However, once the void was sealed, the entire Mei Ling Mountain would suffer extremely serious consequences. Perhaps more than half of the humans in Mei Ling Mountain would die, so Tian Cumulus Cloud could not seal the void at all.
Medusa was about to escape arrogantly after killing people, but unfortunately, a key figure rushed over.
"Medusa, since you're here, don't leave something behind. How can you face me?"
Suddenly, such a sentence exploded in the sky. Then, a series of explosions came, but the sound was very strange. It was like firecrackers exploding under a blanket.
A dozen seconds later, a giant snake fell from the void and heavily fell to the ground. After that, the snake's head twisted in pain, and black smoke came out of its body, turning into black hair … The giant snake was originally an illusion of Medusa's hair, and after losing the support of Medusa's power, it naturally returned to its original appearance.
Then, Medusa's mournful curses could be heard in the void. "Xuan Ming, I will break you in half one day."
"I hope you can keep your promise. Medusa, I will wait for you in Yuzhang City."
In the sky, a woman with a pair of huge wings slowly descended. This woman's face was peaceful, looking like a gentle middle-aged woman. She gave people the feeling that she was a junior high school teacher.
However, a pair of huge wings several times larger than her body stretched out from her back. There was also a small snake hanging from each of her earlobes … These were living snakes. When they saw Tian Cumulus Cloud, they raised their heads, opened their mouths, and hissed as they spat out their slender tongues.
Taking a closer look at her hands and feet, they found that Xuan Ming's hands were more like chicken claws. Her fingers were long and curved, and her nails were as sharp as blades. It seemed like they could pierce through anything easily.
Her feet weren't wearing shoes. The soles of her feet were round with four toes spread wide, covered with black hair. Compared to her hands, Xuan Ming's feet looked like claws.
Generally speaking, most of this woman's physical characteristics were that of a human, but some parts of her resembled a bird.
"Wuzhang Shi Fang greets Lady Xuanming."
Seeing the half-human half-bird land beside him, Wuzhang Shifang bowed respectfully. He had said many times that this was the etiquette that humans had to do to the Sword Lady. It represented the human's respect for the Sword Lady.
"You don't have to thank me. I didn't kill Medusa. I just took one of her heads."
The wings on Xuan Ming's back slowly folded, just like a bird's wings.
She was also a Sword Lady, and she was also an immortal sword lady. Her name was Xuan Ming.
The legendary sword of one of the 12 Zu Wu's, Xuan Ming … She had basically inherited the 12 Zu Wu's Xuan Ming's human face and bird body. She had a green snake hanging from each of her ears and two green snakes under her feet. However, there were still some differences.
The Zu Wu's Xuan Ming's body was completely oval-shaped. It was a bird's body with no upper or lower body.
As for the Sword Lady Xuan Ming, her body was basically like a human's. She had breasts and buttocks … Well, that wasn't the main point.
"Medusa seems to have gotten a lot stronger. I fought with Medusa 600 years ago. Last time, I broke three of her snake heads with one grab. This time, I barely managed to take off one." Xuan Ming's first reaction when she landed on the ground was that she felt that Medusa had gotten stronger.
"That's right. Tian Congyun and I feel the same way. It seems like Medusa has become a Universe Rank Yuan Kou," Wuzhang Shi Fang said.
"She actually leveled up … Cough, cough … This is really bad news."
Don't misunderstand. The one who said this was not Xuan Ming, because Xuan Ming did not know how to cough. The one who spoke was a white-haired old man. He was the other immortal sword bearer at the tea party with Liu Lei. He was the chairman of Yuzhang City's Sword Committee, Baiju Sword Immortal Ju Wudao. Xuan Ming was Ju Wudao's immortal sword lady.
"Senior Baiju, junior Wuzhang Shi Fang greets you."
Seeing Ju Wudao, Wuzhang Shi Fang bowed again. This was the etiquette of a junior to an elder. It had nothing to do with strength.
"Sword Immortal Wudao, no need to be so polite. Everyone is fighting for humanity. There's no need for such formalities."
Ju Wudao laughed and helped Wuzhang Shi Fang up. "How is it? How's the battle situation here? I had Xuan Ming rush over first, but I was late. I only heard that Medusa had already leveled up to the Universe Rank.
I wonder where that Medusa is now? "
Wuzhang Shi Fang shook his head and said, "She should have already escaped. Rumor has it that Medusa is one of the few shrewd people in Yuan Kou. How could she have the guts to fight alone near the base city? I'm afraid she has already escaped hundreds of miles away.
"Forget it. If she escaped, then so be it. As long as no one died, it's a good thing.
I see that Sword Immortal Omnidirectional has already evacuated the crowd ahead of time. This is truly a blessing amidst misfortune. It was a huge battle, but there were no casualties. This is a great merit. It looks like Sword Immortal Omnidirectional will be appearing on News Simulcast again, "said Ju Wudao with a smile.
Ju Wudao smiled. "This …" Wuzhang Shi Fang looked a little embarrassed. "It's not that there were no casualties. Two ancient sword bearers were killed by Medusa. I'm afraid they won't survive."
"If that's the case, then it's really too pitiful. The people of Yuzhang will always remember the precious lives they sacrificed for humanity. I hope that Kenzu can guide their souls." Ju Wudao expressed his condolences without saying anything else.
Only two ancient sword bearers died … They were really too lucky.
"Hmph."
Tian Congyun snorted coldly and ignored these two cold fellows. She jogged all the way to the place where Guhan's statue had fallen. She saw Guhan's miserable appearance … Even though he had become a statue, Guhan's hands and feet were still twisted together like rags. He had completely lost his human form. Only Guhan's head still maintained its original appearance. His eyes were wide open, and his pupils were exposed. It seemed that at the last moment, he had opened his eyes with all his might to preserve his corpse.
"Sigh … the Gu family is finished."
Tian Congyun sighed. She waved the sword qi in her hand, and a one-meter-deep hole appeared in the ground. At the same time, Guhan's petrified body was lifted by Tian Congyun's sword qi and slowly flew into the newly dug hole.
"What are you doing?"
Xuan Ming's voice came from behind. Seeing the two sword bearers talking nonsense, Xuan Ming, who was bored, felt that Tian Congyun's actions were a little strange. She caught up and saw Tian Congyun digging a hole to bury someone.
"I'm sending off a little guy, letting him rest in peace … I don't want him to be stupidly left in some place and become a target for others to point fingers at." Hearing Tian Congyun say this, Xuan Ming's curiosity was piqued.
Xuan Ming had known Tian Congyun for hundreds of years. Xuan Ming had known Tian Congyun since her first awakening. She knew Tian Congyun very well.
She had never seen Tian Congyun show grief at the death of a sword bearer, and dig a hole to bury him … This was not Tian Congyun's style at all.
Therefore, Xuan Ming was very curious about the person Tian Congyun had buried. She walked to the edge of the hole and looked at Guhan's statue. Strange, there was nothing special about this man.
He was just a little kid … But his body was really strange, like a rag that was kneaded together.
"It seems that all the bones in his body are broken. His death is too miserable …" Xuan Ming exclaimed. This was the most miserable death she had ever seen.
"Wait, although all the bones in this sword bearer's body were broken, he was still petrified. This means that he wasn't dead when he was petrified."
"…" Tian Congyun was stunned. Xuan Ming was right. The Medusa's Petrification could only petrify living people. Once this person died, he would be melted into a pool of blood by the Death Stare. It was impossible for him to be petrified.
Moreover, when Guhan received the Death Stare, he should have used all his strength to open his eyes … This was enough to prove that Guhan wasn't dead when he was petrified.
"I remember that as long as a person is petrified by the Medusa, his life state will stay at the moment when he is petrified. It's just like the freezing technology of humans. So, even if this human is petrified, he is still alive.
As long as the petrification is removed within twenty-four hours, he can return to the state before he was petrified. "
Xuan Ming's words stunned Tian Congyun again. It was true that the petrified Guhan was still alive … It was like Guhan had been given an immortal buff that could last for twenty-four hours. Within twenty-four hours, as long as Guhan was still breathing, he could maintain this breath and not die.
From this point of view, the Medusa's Petrification didn't kill Guhan. Instead, it saved Guhan's life. Guhan's life could last for twenty-four hours. This really saved Guhan's life.
Tian Congyun was happy at first, but she soon became gloomy. "It's useless. To remove the Medusa's Petrification, I need the Medusa's blood. Now that the Medusa has escaped, I can't find her within one day. Where can I get her blood?"
"Look, what is this?" Xuan Ming smiled and raised his hand. There was a patch of blood on it.
Seeing this blood, Tian Congyun's eyes instantly became infinitely bright. "Is this the Medusa's blood?"
"If it's not hers, is it mine?"
Xuan Ming curled his lips. "Just now, my claw grabbed one of her snake heads and my hand scratched her chest. My hand was stained with blood.
I felt a little disgusted, so I planned to spray my saliva to wash it off. I didn't expect it to have this effect. "
"Let's go back to the hospital in Yuzhang City immediately, then …" Tian Congyun said hurriedly.
"There's no time to go back."
Xuan Ming interrupted Tian Congyun's words. "At most, in one minute, the Medusa's blood on my hand will lose its activity. We must apply it to his body immediately."
"…" The hope that they had initially seen seemed to have fallen into a hopeless situation. If they removed the petrified state of the frozen state and returned to the normal frozen state, it would be impossible for them to survive for more than ten seconds in this wilderness without medical equipment. However, if they went to the hospital first, then the activity of the Medusa's blood would be completely lost. After twenty-four hours, the frozen state would still mean death.
What should he choose?
