I'll Kneel and Swear Loyalty on the Spot

Immortal Demon Transformation, Heaven Tier Low-Grade Secret Technique: divided into Immortal God Transformation and Asura Transformation.

Immortal God Transformation focused on the sacred power of light and righteousness. It could amplify the Immortal Qi Accumulation within the body, absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth, and breathe in Immortal Spirit Aura. With every movement, one became like an immortal, graceful as a startled swan upon the Dao; the Spirit Palace Immortal Method was born within it, the plants and trees of the forest echoed in response, and the stars of Dongting reflected in the divine court!

Asura Transformation focused on the power of blood-fiend demonization. It reversed the power of the bloodline throughout the body, darkening it into an Asura demon body. It could control the fiendish qi of heaven and earth, overdrawing the power of bloodline and soul to temporarily make one's realm soar!

On the mountain peak, Su Qingyun slowly stood up, his face filled with surprise and joy.

This time, he had actually comprehended a Heaven Tier Dou Technique.

This Immortal Demon Transformation made Su Qingyun, who already possessed the ability to fight above his level, rise to an even higher level of strength.

Among them, Immortal God Transformation could make excellent use of Su Qingyun's Immortal Emperor Body. Not only could it display his peerless, independent, transcendent innate physique, granting him the favor of heaven and earth and the blessing of fortune, it would also raise Su Qingyun's level by four stars for a period of time!

A realm of four stars—that was practically half a Major Realm!

As for Asura Transformation, it was even more terrifying. This transformation would consume and reverse the Immortal Emperor Dou Meridians in Su Qingyun's body. Asura Transformation overdrawed Su Qingyun's body to achieve a temporary surge in strength, and it could actually raise his realm by a full seven to nine stars for a period of time! This was absolutely a terrifying figure. Even the top secret techniques of the top forces in the Central Plains could not directly increase a cultivator's strength by nine stars.

This was practically the improvement of an entire Major Realm. How terrifying was that! Therefore, although it was only Heaven Tier Low-Grade, it was enough to crush all the Dou Techniques in the Jia Ma Empire. Even looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent, Heaven Tier Dou Techniques like this could be counted on one's fingers.

From this, one could imagine why it had triggered such a violent phenomenon this time, one even more terrifying than when Su Qingyun had condensed his Qi vortex in the Xiao Clan! When the golden scroll of the Heaven Tier Dou Technique merged into Su Qingyun's body and fused with the secret technique of Immortal Demon Transformation, the Qi vortex inside him began to circulate, and his realm broke through to Five Star Dou Zhe.

Only then did the thick black and white cloud vortexes above the mountain range slowly disperse.

The pressure suppressing everyone finally faded, giving them a chance to breathe.

Five Star strength.

With this Immortal Demon Transformation, even without using the body-damaging, essence-consuming Asura Transformation, and only using Immortal God Transformation, he could temporarily break through the realm barrier of a Dou Shi. Combined with Su Qingyun's own ability to fight above his level, killing a Da Dou Shi would no longer be a difficult matter. Even against an eight- or nine-star Da Dou Shi, Su Qingyun could fight.

As for the Da Dou Shi of the Jialie Family and the Aoba Family in Wu Tan City, most of them were basically below Five Star and belonged to low-star Da Dou Shi. The gap between their strength and that of high-star Da Dou Shi was enormous.

After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, for ordinary cultivators, even a difference of just one or two stars was a chasm difficult to cross.

Someone like Su Qingyun, who could casually cross an entire Major Realm to kill enemies, had never been seen from ancient times to now.

With a rough estimate of his current strength, Su Qingyun felt a bit more at ease. His chances of helping Yun Yun steal the Purple Spirit Crystal had grown a little higher.

Just then, Gan Mu of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group suddenly scrambled up from the ground. After taking a deep breath and panting once more, his figure leaped forward, carrying a fawning smile.

"Congratulations, Young Master, congratulations! Young Master possesses an immortal countenance and peerless beauty, Unparalleled in the World. To break through and gain sudden enlightenment here, and for Gan Mu to be fortunate enough to observe it, is truly the blessing of three lifetimes!"

"Our Wolf Head Mercenary Group has many members and treats people kindly. We are willing to follow Young Master and revere Young Master as our master. Please accept Gan Mu and accept the loyalty of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"

It was a thin, withered-looking middle-aged man who even seemed somewhat wretched. He had suddenly popped out and knelt on one knee before Su Qingyun.

Seeing that the usually violent Second Leader Gan Mu had actually declared loyalty, the other members of this small team from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group also rushed out one after another, kneeling before Su Qingyun as they echoed,

"Young Master is Unparalleled in the World! Please lead our Wolf Head Mercenary Group, ride all the way to glory, eat and drink the best, snatch women and screw the prettiest ones, and reach the peak of life!"

Seeing the people of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group act so shamelessly, the members of the Green Wood Mercenary Group could no longer stay hidden. They hurriedly leaped forward, and the one in the lead said,

"I am Tian Guinong, Vice Leader of the Green Wood Mercenary Group. I have come to congratulate Young Master on your breakthrough."

"Young Master, please do not fall for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's tricks. Gan Mu is only the Second Leader and cannot decide the allegiance of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. But our Green Wood Mercenary Group is different. The Leader is my Eldest Brother. I can persuade my Eldest Brother to submit to Young Master, and from now on, we will obey Young Master's orders."

"We only hope Young Master can bestow one or two Dou Techniques upon us for self-defense. Then we will be fully satisfied."

This man from the Green Wood Mercenary Group, who looked full of vigor, cupped his hands and said.

Hearing this, a playful smile appeared on Su Qingyun's face.

So they had come for the secret technique he had just suddenly comprehended.

Unfortunately, although this Immortal Demon Transformation was powerful, it had been tailor-made for Su Qingyun's physique. Others simply could not learn it.

Wolf Head Mercenary Group? Treated people kindly?

Su Qingyun remembered this mercenary group. If he was not mistaken, this Wolf Head Mercenary Group was the strongest of the Three Great Mercenary Groups on the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range—in a town called Green Mountain Town. They usually played with women, killed people for treasure, and did plenty of black-hearted things.

In the end, they were wiped out by Xiao Yan.

As for this Green Wood Mercenary Group, Su Qingyun did not know much about them, but from this person called Tian Guinong, he could tell they were also a bunch of sanctimonious types.

"You can leave. I have no interest in your mercenary groups."

Su Qingyun glanced coldly at Gan Mu and Tian Guinong.

He had not expected Gan Mu to still refuse to give up and chase after him.

"Young Master, hehe, although Young Master's talent is extraordinary, and the Dou Technique you practice is also... hehe, top-tier, I see that Young Master still seems to be in the Dou Zhe realm. Since you've come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, you must be looking to pick some medicinal herbs or hunt some magical beasts, right? Our mercenary group has been struggling through the Magical Beast Mountain Range for so many years, so we can be considered familiar with the terrain. Perhaps we can help Young Master."

Gan Mu still refused to give up. Thinking back to that intense phenomenon just now, as well as the youth's peerless immortal appearance, he could not bear to miss out no matter what.

As long as he followed this youth through the Magical Beast Mountain Range to look for medicinal herbs or hunt magical beasts, he was confident he could lead him into a trap, then drug him unconscious, tie him up, and take him home. At that time, both the Dou Technique and the person would be his!

On the other side, Tian Guinong of the Green Wood Mercenary Group also guessed Gan Mu's intentions and could not help sneering, "Help, you certainly could help. It's just hard to say whether your Wolf Head Mercenary Group will help Young Master hunt treasure, or push Young Master into a pit. After all, your Wolf Head Mercenary Group has had many incidents where you followed employers into the mountains, and in the end, the employers mysteriously disappeared. Who knows whether they were attacked by magical beasts or ambushed and robbed by people—"

"Tian Guinong, what are you pretending for? Our Wolf Head Mercenary Group merely failed to protect those employers properly. As for the wicked things your Green Wood Mercenary Group has done, you know them clearly in your own heart.

When you don't have an employer, you make one yourselves, forcing people to pay to hire you into the mountains to gather herbs. Otherwise, you kill them and set fires. If a figure like Young Master really accepted your Green Wood Mercenary Group, it would truly stain Young Master's status!"

Seeing his true intentions exposed by the other party, a vicious look appeared in Gan Mu's eyes as he shouted at Tian Guinong.

"No need. Although I am only a Five Star Dou Zhe, I can still protect myself in this Magical Beast Mountain Range. You'd best not ask for trouble."

Su Qingyun said indifferently, once again rejecting the invitations from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and the Green Wood Mercenary Group.

What kind of joke was this? Two mercenary groups whose strongest members were only Dou Shi—did he need them? Moreover, these two mercenary groups had committed every sort of evil. Su Qingyun would rather wipe them out immediately.

Seeing Su Qingyun reject them once more, and hearing the youth admit that he really was only in the Dou Zhe realm, a fierce expression appeared on Gan Mu's face. He gave Tian Guinong a look, the meaning obvious:

Stop fighting. Let's take this kid down first, and if we really get something good, we split it? Clearly, Gan Mu and Tian Guinong had some tacit understanding, and they actually reached an agreement.

The two attacked at the same time, both possessing the strength of Nine Star Dou Zhe.

"Everyone, get him!"

"Whoever catches him first gets him!"

With a wave of Gan Mu and Tian Guinong's hands, their subordinates immediately froze for a moment, then hurriedly charged forward, surrounding Su Qingyun from all sides and revealing lewd smiles.

But unexpectedly, at the instant they attacked, from the billowing clouds and mist atop the Mountain Peaks, a drop of blood fell and instantly condensed into a long red spear.

The realm was one spear, and it directly pierced through Gan Mu and Tian Guinong's bodies, skewering everyone in the small teams of the two mercenary groups like kebabs. Immediately after, Su Qingyun struck out with a palm through the air, blasting them off the cliff.

Before they died, Gan Mu and Tian Guinong both widened their eyes, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Their gazes seemed to say: You... didn't you say you were a Five Star Dou Zhe? How could you be this strong! Is this power a Five Star Dou Zhe can possess? One spear turned us all into barbecue!

"I told you not to provoke me. I was already holding back from killing you, yet you still came looking for death."
