Medusa sneered, her lips curling into a cunning smile. "Heh, do you think I'm afraid?"
With that, she charged forward, aiming for Shui Wuya.
But at that moment, Bo Haidong roared, "Don't harm my master!"
Bo Haidong stepped in, using all his strength to block Medusa, engaging her in fierce combat.
Clutching the ice blade tightly, his brow furrowed, and a vengeful glint flickered in his eyes.
Looking at Medusa in front of him, a surge of fighting spirit rose within him. "Medusa, today I will defeat you, snake woman, and avenge my grievances!"
Medusa smirked coldly, her gaze revealing disdain. "Bo Haidong, your strength is far below mine."
"You're merely a two-star Dou Huang, and I am at the peak of Dou Huang. You're no match for me."
Bo Haidong clenched his teeth but did not back down. "Even if I'm weaker, I'll never retreat! I'll show you the power of my ice attribute combat skills!"
"Hmph, you think you can?" Medusa sneered, her body moving like a nimble snake, swiftly weaving through the desert.
The aura of her serpent clan's technique radiated from her, causing Bo Haidong to feel a hint of pressure.
Bo Haidong remained calm, his eyes fixed on Medusa, while the ice blade in his hand began to freeze over.
Hearing his words, Medusa sneered, "Bo Haidong, show me what you can do."
Without another word, Bo Haidong took a deep breath, resolute in his determination to face Medusa head-on.
His ice attribute energy surged, forming a thin layer of frost armor that boosted his defense.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Medusa's eyes. "Let's see how many of my strikes that frost armor can withstand!"
She transformed into a phantom, rapidly lunging toward Bo Haidong.
Bo Haidong focused intently, standing as firm as an icy mountain, his ice blade gleaming coldly as he waited for the perfect moment to strike.
Suddenly, Medusa unleashed a fierce assault, her movements like flashes of lightning, slashing toward Bo Haidong with lightning speed.
Her attacks were as agile as a snake, making it nearly impossible to predict her next move.
Bo Haidong met her strikes with composure, his ice blade dancing in the air, releasing sharp waves of frost that froze the surrounding sand into icy mist, slightly obscuring Medusa's vision.
"Hahaha, Bo Haidong, your ice attribute combat skills are impressive!" Medusa's voice echoed through the mist. "But remember, you're facing someone at the peak of Dou Huang!"
Bo Haidong gritted his teeth, his ice blade trembling in his grip. "I will not surrender!"
"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold out!" Medusa's voice carried a hint of provocation. "Show me how long you can last!"
In the intense battle that followed, Bo Haidong gradually fell behind, forced to retreat step by step under Medusa's relentless onslaught.
His frost armor began to crack under her attacks, and his body was soon covered in wounds, his blood staining his clothes.
Despite giving it his all, Bo Haidong could not withstand Medusa's fierce assault.
"Bo Haidong, hang in there!" Xiao Yixian shouted anxiously, her heart filled with worry and fear.
She hadn't expected Medusa's strength to be so overwhelming, realizing that Bo Haidong was no longer able to contend with her.
Yao Lao also looked worried as he watched Bo Haidong being forced back repeatedly. He sighed to himself, "Medusa's power is terrifying. Bo Haidong is no match for her at all."
"We're in deep trouble."
Bo Haidong continued to retreat under Medusa's relentless assault.
"Medusa, don't get too full of yourself!" Bo Haidong gritted his teeth and shouted, "I won't be defeated by you!"
Medusa sneered, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes. "Hmph, do you think you can stop me? You've already lost any chance of winning."
Bo Haidong was furious but helpless in the face of her mockery. He knew he was at a disadvantage, but he refused to admit defeat.
Xiao Yixian and Yao Lao watched Bo Haidong struggle to hold his ground, their hearts full of anxiety.
They understood that Bo Haidong was no longer a match for Medusa. If this battle continued, the consequences would be dire.
Bo Haidong was driven back again and again by Medusa's attacks, his body exhausted, barely able to stand. His ice attribute techniques seemed pale and ineffective in front of Medusa, failing to form either a proper defense or counterattack.
He stood there with difficulty, sweat dripping from his forehead, breathing heavily and laboriously.
Yet, in his eyes, a flicker of determination remained. He refused to surrender so easily.
"Bo Haidong, you've reached your limit!" Xiao Yixian shouted anxiously, "Retreat now! We'll figure out another way!"
Bo Haidong shook his head, struggling to hold himself up. He knew he was at his limit, but he wasn't willing to give up, nor would he let Xiao Yixian and Yao Lao come to harm.
Seeing his sorry state, Medusa burst into laughter. "Hahaha! It looks like you're done for. What's there to worry about now? I'll take care of you in a moment, and those people you brought—I'll send them to the afterlife along with you!"
Her laughter was filled with mockery and triumph, as if she already held victory in her hands.
At this critical moment, just when Bo Haidong had nowhere left to retreat, a familiar aura suddenly surged through the air.
Everyone turned to look, and there, suspended in midair, was Xiao Yan, with Shui Wuyia's spirit within him.
"Bo Haidong! You're not using ice attribute combat skills the right way."
Shui Wuya's voice carried a steady and resolute power. "Your ice attribute technique isn't useless. You just haven't grasped its essence yet."
Bo Haidong was stunned. He hadn't expected this mysterious senior to appear at such a crucial moment and even offer him guidance.
Shui Wuya's tone took on a more instructive quality. "You must learn to harness the nature of ice—go with the flow, use softness to overcome hardness."
With those words, Shui Wuya's voice echoed in Bo Haidong's ears, reverberating over and over.
Suddenly, Shui Wuya's consciousness seemed to flow like a clear stream, crossing time and space, and entering Bo Haidong's body directly.
Bo Haidong felt a mysterious and powerful force surging deep within him. To his astonishment, he found himself in a frozen domain within his heart, a realm filled with secrets and strength.
"Bo Haidong, your ice attribute combat skills are far from reaching their peak," Shui Wuya's voice resonated clearly in his mind, firm and gentle.
"Ice is one of the purest forces in the universe. You must learn to master its essence."
