Chapter 13 The Serpent Empire, Moonlit Beauty!
Hua She'er struck out with her palm, the wind from her palm whistling as it hurtled towards Xiao Chen's chest.
Xiao Chen didn't even look at it; he just waved his hand casually.
A powerful burst of fighting spirit erupted from Xiao Chen's palm, directly shattering Hua She'er's palm strike.
Flower Snake's expression changed.
Hua She'er used seventy percent of her strength in that palm strike, which even a strong person of the same level would not dare to take head-on, but this young man neutralized it with ease.
"I told you, I don't want to fight," Xiao Chen said calmly.
Flower Snake gritted her teeth, "You trespassed into the Snake People's territory and killed our people, and you think you can just leave like this?"
Xiao Chen looked at Hua She'er, "You guys started it."
"So what?" Flower Snake said coldly, "This is the territory of the Snake People. Outsiders who come in are guilty of a capital offense."
Xiao Chen shook his head; he was too lazy to waste any more words with Flower Snake.
Xiao Chen turned around and walked into the depths of the desert.
"Stop!" Flower Snake shouted.
Xiao Chen did not stop.
"Stop him!" Flower Snake waved her hand.
A dozen snake-men immediately rushed forward and surrounded Xiao Chen.
The snake-men held long spears, the tips of which were aimed at Xiao Chen's vital points.
"This is the last time, come with us," Flower Snake said.
Xiao Chen stopped and turned to look at Hua She'er.
"You won't allow it?"
"No," Flower Snake said.
Xiao Chen sighed.
He raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
A terrifying burst of battle energy erupted from Xiao Chen's palm, blasting towards the snake-men.
Boom boom boom!
Several loud bangs rang out almost simultaneously, and more than a dozen snake-men were sent flying backward, landing motionless on the sand.
Flower Snake's pupils suddenly contracted.
One move, just one move, and all the dozen or so snake-men were killed.
"You..." Flower Snake pointed at Xiao Chen, her voice trembling.
Xiao Chen looked at Hua She'er, "Are we still going to stop her?"
Flower Snake wanted to stop him, but she knew she was no match for the boy.
"You killed my snake-people, Her Majesty the Queen will not let you get away with this," Flower Snake said.
Hua She'er stood still, gritting her teeth as she watched Xiao Chen's retreating figure.
Flower Snake clutched her chest and turned to walk towards the direction of the Snake-Man Empire.
In the Serpent People Empire, Yue Mei sat in a chair, holding a cup of tea.
Yue Mei is a Seven-Star Battle King of the Snake-People Clan, and her status is not weak.
"Report!" A snake-man ran in from outside.
"What is it?" Yue Mei put down her teacup.
"Lord Flower Snake has returned, but she is seriously injured," the snake-man said.
Yue Mei's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up.
Where is she?
"We're already outside."
Yue Mei strode out of the main hall and saw Hua She'er being supported by two snake people. Her face was pale and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"What happened?" Yue Mei stepped forward and helped Hua She'er up.
"Humans have trespassed into our territory," Flower Snake said, "and killed more than a dozen of our snake people."
A flash of murderous intent crossed Yue Mei's eyes. "Who?"
"I don't know." Flower Snake shook her head. "A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is very strong. I couldn't even withstand one of his moves."
Yue Mei's brows furrowed.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy injured Hua She'er, a Dou Wang-level fighter, in one move? How is that possible?
"Where did he go?" Yue Mei asked.
"They've headed towards Stone Desert City," Flower Snake said.
Yue Mei remained silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at the several snake-man experts in the main hall.
"Come with me."
"Lady Yue Mei, are you going in person?" a snake-man expert asked.
"Going to someone who can injure Flower Snake in one move is just suicide for you," Yue Mei said.
Yue Mei spread her battle-qi wings and soared into the sky.
Several snake-man experts quickly followed, and the group flew towards Stone Desert City.
Stone Desert City is a small city in the eastern part of the Gama Empire, near the Tagor Desert.
This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and mercenaries are everywhere.
Xiao Chen entered Stone Desert City and walked along the street.
The streets were lined with stalls selling all sorts of things.
Monster materials, herbs, elixirs, weapons...
Xiao Chen didn't stop; he walked straight ahead.
After walking for a while, Xiao Chen heard a commotion ahead.
"Get lost, you little bastard!"
"It's disgusting that it has scales on its body."
"I wonder what kind of monster it is."
Xiao Chen looked up and saw several mercenaries surrounding a girl and shoving her.
The girl was dressed in tattered clothes and was thin; she looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
The girl's face had several tiny green scales that were particularly noticeable in the sunlight.
Xiao Chen recognized Qing Lin at a glance.
"You all move aside," Qinglin said softly, her head bowed.
"Get out of the way?" a mercenary laughed. "You bastard, you think you can make us move aside?"
Qinglin's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip without saying a word.
"Get her out of here." The lead mercenary waved his hand. "Don't let her get in the way."
A mercenary reached out and pushed Qinglin with great force.
Qinglin stumbled and almost fell.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly as he watched this scene.
"Stop," Xiao Chen said.
Several mercenaries turned their heads and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Who are you?" The lead mercenary sized Xiao Chen up and down. "Mind your own business?"
Xiao Chen didn't answer. He walked up to Qing Lin and glanced at her.
"Are you alright?"
Qinglin shook her head, lowering her head and not daring to look at Xiao Chen.
"Kid, I advise you to mind your own business," the lead mercenary said. "This has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Chen turned to look at the mercenary. "Shut your mouth."
The mercenary's face darkened.
"Are you looking for death?"
The mercenary threw a punch at Xiao Chen's face.
Xiao Chen didn't even look at it; he just waved his hand casually.
boom!
The mercenary's body flew backward and landed on the ground, motionless.
The other mercenaries were stunned.
"You dare to lay a hand on me?"
"Attack together!"
Several mercenaries rushed forward at the same time.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and struck out with his palm.
Bang bang bang!
Several muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously, and all the mercenaries fell to the ground, none of them able to get up.
The people on the street were stunned by what they saw.
Those mercenaries were all powerful warriors at the Dou Shi level, yet they were all wiped out by a single move by a young man.
Qinglin was also stunned. She looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes full of surprise.
"Thank you," Qinglin said softly.
Xiao Chen looked at Qing Lin and smiled slightly.
"You're welcome."
Qinglin lowered her head, unsure of what to say.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, a system notification popped up in front of him.
[Trigger Quest: Help Qinglin improve his strength.]
[You will receive one copy opportunity upon completion of the task.]
[Accept the mission?]
Xiao Chen looked at the system panel, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Help Qinglin improve his strength? Perfect timing. He had previously replicated Guhe's sixth-grade alchemist strength, so refining Foundation Establishment Elixir would be a piece of cake.
"I accept," Xiao Chen said to himself.
[The mission has been accepted; the host may begin at any time.]
Xiao Chen closed the system panel and looked at Qing Lin.
"What's your name?"
"Qing...Qinglin," Qinglin whispered.
"Qinglin, a good name," Xiao Chen said.
Qinglin blushed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
