Xiao Ding's Crushing Victory

Inside the first level of the Heavenly Tomb.

Several Energy Body wandered aimlessly.

"Whoosh!"

With a whooshing sound, a figure clad in a blue robe suddenly plunged into the center of the Energy Body. After a series of thuds, the blue figure reappeared.

"Seven pills at a time, it's better than nothing!" Xiao Ding sighed. "It's better to continue to the second level."

Just then, Xiao Ding, who was about to leave, narrowed his eyes. Greenish-blue Dou Qi flowed around his hand and condensed into a three-foot-long sword.

Xiao Ding said calmly, "May I ask which friend this is? Would you be so kind as to show yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the space several dozen feet in front of Xiao Ding suddenly distorted, and two figures shrouded in black robes slowly appeared.

"The Soul Clan?" Xiao Ding, his body tense and his brows furrowed.

"Hehehe~" Hun Ya chuckled coldly, "I really didn't expect that we would encounter a lone Xiao Tribe Remnants!"

"Tell me, how should I give you a way to die?"

At this moment, Hun Ya was extremely excited. In the Ancient Realm, the Xiao Clan's act of handing over the Tou She Ancient God Jade to the Gu Clan made him very unhappy, but he was helpless. He believed that his clan would not let the Xiao Clan get away with it.

Hun Ya also set its sights on eliminating the Xiao Clan brothers in the Heavenly Tomb.

However, this goal is simple to say, but difficult to achieve.

That kid named Xiao Yan has been with Gu Xun Er of the Gu Clan. The latter's strength as a Nine-Star Dou Zun is indeed very troublesome, not to mention that there is also Xiao Yan whose combat power is no less than that of Eight-Star Dou Zun.

As it turns out, hard work pays off!

He actually ran into Xiao Yan's lone older brother!

He and his companion Hun Li were both Eight-Star Dou Zun, so dealing with a lone Six Star Dou Zun was a piece of cake!

With the dragon charging in, how could he possibly lose this round!

However, what puzzled Hun Ya greatly was that Xiao Ding had only been on guard when they first met, but now he seemed quite relaxed.

"Is there an ambush?"

A sense of vigilance rose within him. Having experienced the treacherous world of the Soul Clan for many years, Hun Ya knew very well that if something went wrong, it was likely that trouble was brewing, even if the opponent was only a Six Star Dou Zun.

He secretly gestured to Hun Li, who nodded, silently stepped back, and became alert to the surroundings.

Xiao Ding suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "Congratulations!"

Hun Ya's eyelids twitched, and he immediately saw a burst of intense golden light erupt from beneath Hun Li's feet. He shouted sharply, "Hun Li, get out of the way!"

Hun Li wasn't stupid; he had already prepared to leave as soon as the strange thing appeared beneath his feet.

However, it was too late. Countless golden threads flew out from the formation in an instant, wrapping around Hun Li's limbs and bones with lightning speed, binding him into a dumpling in a moment.

"Ugh!" Hun Li's eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead, trying to forcefully break the silk threads binding him, but he felt himself being bound tighter and tighter. He rolled on the ground like a caterpillar.

Seeing this, Hun Ya's face darkened. He realized that his side had probably been outmaneuvered, and now half of their fighting force had been rendered useless.

But...

"You think you can survive by Xiao Ding Hun Ya coldly, while carefully guarding the ground beneath his feet.

Hun Ya is not in despair, he is just annoyed. He, who is good at playing tricks, was actually tricked by the Xiao Tribe Remnants who he looked down on. If this gets back, he will become a laughing stock of the entire Soul Clan!

Even if he were the only one left, taking down a Six Star Dou Zun wouldn't be difficult. He simply didn't believe that Xiao Ding possessed the ability to fight against someone two stars higher...

Hun Ya Child Kong Zhong was filled with shock, repeatedly saying, "How is this possible?"

"That's impossible!"

Even Hun Li, who was tied to the ground and unable to move, stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

The aura emanating from Xiao Ding at this moment was none other than that of Nine-Star Dou Zun!

Xiao Ding stretched and looked at the two who were on the verge of collapse with a mocking expression. "Have you ever heard of the 'Locking Qi Pill'?"

"Locking Qi Pill?" Hun Ya and Hun Li were both bewildered.

The Locking Qi Pill is an extremely rare Eighth Grade Pill. Although it's called an elixir, it's more accurate to call it a poison.

Its function is to instantly reduce the cultivation level of those below the Dou Sheng level by three stars. However, as long as the antidote is taken within two months, they can recover.

Even Dou Sheng Expert couldn't detect anything unusual.

After being boosted to Nine-Star Dou Zun by Xiao Zhan and Xiao Han, Xiao Ding took the Locking Qi Pill before heading to the Ancient Realm, transforming himself into Six Star Dou Zun.

Only after entering the Heavenly Tomb did he seek a secluded place to recover, precisely to conceal his cultivation level and use it as a trump card.

Now it has indeed come in handy. Xiao Ding, Nine-Star Dou Zun, might be guarded against, but he, Six Star Dou Zun, has become the best bait.

Noticing the expressions of the two from Hun Ya, Xiao Ding understood.

"Looks like you don't know!" Xiao Ding chuckled. "But I wasn't planning on telling you anyway!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ding's figure vanished abruptly. Hun Ya's expression changed drastically, and he instantly left his original position. However, the next moment...

"Bang!"

"You..." Hun Ya looked at Xiao Ding with a mixture of shock and anger, while the latter stomped hard on the spot where Hun Li was standing.

What's chilling is that Hun Li's head exploded into a cloud of blood mist in that instant. Hun Li, a prodigy of the Soul Clan, who was infamous even in battles against the Gu Clan powerhouses, died inexplicably on the first level of the Heavenly Tomb.

Hun Ya felt like dying at that moment, and even cursed Xiao Ding's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

You lack martial ethics!

Is this how you play?

Right at the start, you set up a trap and bound one of our people, which is bad enough.

What's with attacking a defenseless weakling like this? Shouldn't we be the ones to start the fight?

When Hun Ya saw Xiao Ding disappear, he subconsciously assumed that the other party was coming for him, and was thinking about how to deal with it.

Who knew that Xiao Ding would directly attack Hun Li, who didn't even have a chance to run away and was instantly killed.

Xiao Ding's illogical actions immediately baffled Hun Ya.

Even Hun Li probably didn't expect this outcome, but his head was crushed, so he couldn't see the latter's astonished expression.

"Now it's your turn!" Xiao Ding casually clenched his fist and said with a smile as he looked at the terrified Hun Ya.

Nine Star fighting eight stars—do I even need to say what the result will be?

Hun Ya's expression hardened, and he suddenly waved his sleeve, releasing countless souls that roared as they charged towards Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding paused, a strong look of disgust flashing across his face. Just as he was about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed, and he lightly touched the ground with his toes, retreating dozens of feet.

The next moment, a violent explosion rang out, and a surge of Dou Qi dispelled the smoke. Xiao Ding frowned as he observed the surrounding situation; Hun Ya had vanished without a trace.

"Hmph, you got off easy!" Xiao Ding sneered.

However, Xiao Ding was not discouraged. The Heavenly Tomb was only so big. As long as Hun Ya was still alive, they would be able to meet again sooner or later.

Xiao Ding then began to summarize the course of the battle.

This battle seemed very easy, but in reality...

It's really very easy!

Xiao Ding was amazed at how smoothly the battle had gone!

He had merely discovered the two Soul Clan members' whereabouts in advance and set up several Trapping Array in suitable locations around them.

He originally intended it only as a means to delay the enemy, and he was even prepared for a tough battle.

Who would have thought that Hun Ya and his companion would so "honestly" barge in, especially Hun Li, who didn't even pay attention to his footing?

As for Xiao Ding killing Hun Li directly afterward, that would be the most appropriate choice.

Although Hun Li was bound and Hun Ya was left to fend for himself, the Soul Clan had many tricks up their sleeves. He might be able to defeat Hun Li, but he couldn't guarantee that he could actually keep Hun Ya here.

It's better to eliminate one directly; it's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten. By taking down Hun Li, we avoid the risks associated with his rescue. No matter how troublesome he becomes in the future, Hun Ya won't be able to cause any significant trouble.

The fact that a Soul Clan genius was eliminated right at the start suggests that the journey to the Heavenly Tomb will be very smooth.
