Easily Defeated

"What the heck..."

Zi Yan pursed her lips at Xiao Ming's decision, but could only accept it.

Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly. "These people seem to have unknown origins. Are they really alright?"

"It's alright."

Seeing Xiao Ming's insistence, Xiao Yi Xian had no choice but to give up. She also understood that Xiao Ming's strength was far superior to hers.

Medusa was also pushed aside by Xiao Ming.

Seeing that Xiao Ming had arranged for all the beautiful women around him, Gu Qing Yang first sighed inwardly that Xiao Ming was quite lucky with women, and then asked, "Is it alright?"

"Of course, but since you've come to challenge me for no reason, shouldn't you offer some compensation?" Even if he defeated Gu Qing Yang, Xiao Ming wouldn't gain much, and he couldn't simply take him away; wasting his energy wouldn't be worthwhile. That's why Xiao Ming said that.

"Oh? That was my oversight. Since Brother Xiao Ming is Alchemist, and I just happened to obtain this item a few days ago, I'll use it to make up for it." Upon hearing this, Gu Qing Yang pondered for a moment and took out a jade box.

Inside the jade box, a blood-red, oval-shaped fruit lay quietly, its blood-red aura radiating a vibrant life force.

"Blood Essence Demonic Fruit?!" Xiao Ming's eyes widened in surprise, then he recognized the fruit.

Blood Essence Demonic Fruit is an extremely rare medicinal herb, a strange fruit that grows by absorbing the life force of blood essence. It lies deep underground, drawing life energy from the blood essence and eventually transforming into the shape of a fruit.

To refine the Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill, three main ingredients are needed: Blood Essence Demonic Fruit, Ten Thousand Year Azure Spirit Vine, and Snow Bone Ginseng.

Xiao Ming searched extensively for medicinal herbs in the Jia Ma Empire, but he hadn't even found all the auxiliary materials for the Bone Regeneration Blood Fusion Pill, let alone the main ingredient.

Xiao Ming, the main author, planned to try his luck in the Central Continent, but unexpectedly, Gu Qing Yang delivered himself to his doorstep.

Zi Yan, who was standing nearby, immediately lit up when she saw the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit.

"Indeed, it is the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit. I wonder if Brother Xiao Ming is satisfied? If you defeat me, I will offer it to you with both hands."

"Hehe, then I'll accept the challenge. Will you come alone, or will you all come together?" Xiao Ming's words showed a complete disregard for Gu Qing Yang and the others. However, Gu Qing Yang, seeing that he was Dou Zong and still dared to challenge him, did not take Xiao Ming's fighting strength too seriously.

"Brother Xiao Ming is joking. Of course, it's just me alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qing Yang's Aura suddenly surged to the level of Dou Zong, but his Aura was somewhat unstable, obviously because he had used Secret Technique to enhance it.

"The Ancient Clan are indeed extraordinary." Xiao Ming thought to himself as he watched Gu Qing Yang Qingyang's Aura surge to the Dou Zong without any obvious discomfort in his body.

Secret Technique aren't something you can just use casually. For example, Xiao Ming's Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes Secret Technique has significant side effects after use. Only because Xiao Ming has a strong physical body and a high resistance to these side effects can he use it without worry.

The higher the level of the Secret Technique, the fewer the side effects, and the easier it is to control the power gained. Gu Qing Yang's Secret Technique is obviously very advanced.

"Excuse me." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qing Yang quickly formed hand seals, and a tidal wave of Dou Qi surged into his palms. As this massive Dou Qi flowed in, a dazzling light gradually emerged, eventually becoming almost like a sun, extremely blinding.

"This aura is at least Di Rank Advanced Dou Skill. The Ancient Clan has so many good things. Let's finish this quickly." With a sigh, Xiao Ming took a step forward and appeared behind Gu Qing Yang in the next moment, his large palm directly slapping Gu Qing Yang's back.

The next moment, Gu Qing Yang's body floated forward strangely, and a massive energy handprint, several meters in size, suddenly appeared between the two of them.

"Mountain Splitting Seal!" The moment this energy handprint appeared, the surrounding space rippled rapidly.

The sudden appearance of the handprint did not cause Xiao Ming's expression to change. His right hand was placed lightly on the energy handprint as before.

Peng!

Xiao Ming's right hand moved very gently, but the force contained within it was astonishing.

When Gu Qing Yang's Mountain Splitting Seal collided with Xiao Ming's right hand, it produced a thunderous sound. The weaker Snake People Race were further away below experienced temporary hearing loss, and even their vision became slightly blurred.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Mountain Splitting Seal was smashed to pieces after a one-second standoff with Xiao Ming.

"How is this possible!" the Black Annihilation Army soldiers on the Four-Winged Unicorn Beast exclaimed in disbelief.

Gu Qing Yang was using their Ancient Clan's Emperor's Seal Art Technique.

The Emperor's Seal Art, Di Rank Advanced technique, is said to have been created by Ancient Times Dou Di powerhouse. It consists of five forms: Mountain Splitting Seal, Sea Overturning Seal, Heaven Annihilating Seal -Earth Covering Seal, Heaven-Annihilating Ancient Emperor Seal. Each form is interconnected, and at its peak, it rivals the Heaven Rank Dou Technique. To cultivate this technique, one must reach the Dou Wang rank.

Although Gu Qing Yang only used the Mountain Splitting Seal, it was still a genuine Earth Tier High Grade Dou Technique. But what they saw was that Xiao Ming casually shattered the Mountain Splitting Seal with a single slap.

The Mountain Splitting Seal didn't even last two seconds in his hands!

Upon seeing this result, Gu Qing Yang Kong suddenly shrank back, his lips twitching slightly.

"What a powerful physique!" With his keen eyesight, he naturally saw that Xiao Ming hadn't used Dou Skill at all, so he broke Xiao Ming's Emperor's Seal Art.

With a single palm strike, Xiao Ming shattered Gu Qing Yang's attack. He didn't give Gu Qingyang much time to catch his breath. With another step, he appeared in front of Gu Qing Yang again, this time pressing his right hand towards Gu Qingyang's chest.

Xiao Ming's movements appeared slow to others, but to Gu Qing Yang they were incredibly swift and difficult to resist.

However, Gu Qing Yang was, after all, a genius descendant whom the Ancient Clan had nurtured with great effort. He had received the best training on this continent since childhood, and his mental fortitude was extraordinary.

In the rush, he felt a distinct Spatial Fluctuation beneath his feet, and the next moment he strangely retreated ten feet to dodge Xiao Ming's attack.

"Movement Dou Technique involving space, it must be at least Di Rank Advanced, no wonder it's Ancient Race." Xiao Ming wasn't surprised that two normal attacks failed to defeat Gu Qing Yang. If Gu Qing Yang had been defeated by him with a casual move, that would have been unexpected, and the reputation of the Ancient Race would have been worthless.

"However, this is the end." With a sharp glint in his eyes, Xiao Ming vanished without making a move, leaving only a faint afterimage slowly dissipating in the spot.

That's an afterimage that only appears when the speed is high enough!

Seeing this, Gu Qing Yang dared not be negligent. His hand seals changed in a flash, and Two Brilliant Energy Hand Seals shot out from his hands, heavily attacking the area in front of him.

"Mountain Splitting Seal!"

"Sea Overturning Seal!"

The Two Brilliant Energy Hand Seals appeared and quickly merged together.

The combination of these two seals is not a simple one plus one equals two. Even an ordinary One-star Dou Zong would be defeated with resentment under this move, and might even lose their life.

Unfortunately, Gu Qing Yang's opponent was Xiao Ming.

A hand, as clear as jade and gleaming slightly, shattered the terrifying attack with overwhelming force.

Then, with lightning speed, he pressed directly onto Gu Qing Yang's chest.

Rumble!

Instantly, Gu Qing Yang's body slammed into the ground like a cannonball, kicking up a cloud of dust!
