Do You Want to Dance Too?

"You...!"

Song Qi's face instantly turned a deep liver color! He glared at the "innocent" Ma Qianqian, wishing he could devour her alive!

That bitch!

Dongfang Yueming's indifferent gaze fell on him once again.

Song Qi trembled all over, no longer daring to harbor any illusions. He could only grit his teeth and hand over the last four hundred spirit stones in his storage bag.

"And also," Dongfang Yueming's voice rang out again, "Hand over the spiritual technique you just won at the auction."

"Puff--!"

Song Qi could no longer suppress it, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

That was a "First-Tier Intermediate Spirit Technique - Wind Blade Frenzy" that he had spent 150 spirit stones to acquire!

However, under the unfathomable gaze of Dongfang Yueming, he could only humiliatingly hand over the jade slip that he hadn't even warmed yet.

Dongfang Yueming nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the Innate Second Level expert behind Song Qi, who was already terrified.

The man trembled, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly handed over one hundred and twenty spirit stones.

Finally, Dongfang Yueming's gaze fell on Hei Sha, the only one in the entire arena who was still struggling to hold on.

A smile, more like a grimace, was forced onto Hei Sha's face as he stammered, "Senior... I... I was in a hurry when I left, and I... didn't bring any spirit stones with me..."

Just then!

A terrifying aura, colder, more evil, and filled with killing intent than the Hei Sha's, suddenly descended from the end of the alley!

"Dongfang Ri! You little beast! I've finally... found you!"

The figure of Xue Ya, like a ghost, slowly emerged from the shadows!

His eyes, like those of a venomous snake, were fixed on Dongfang Yueming, his face filled with undisguised cruelty and greed!

Innate Sixth Level!

The terrifying pressure made everyone present feel suffocated!

When Hei Sha saw the person who had arrived, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes burst with unparalleled joy!

Lord Xue Ya?! He's finally here!!!

[Great! We're saved!]

He secretly rejoiced.

A flame of hope was rekindled in Song Qi's eyes!

Only Ma Qianqian felt her heart sink to the bottom the moment she saw that blood-red figure! Instinctively, she moved a few steps closer to Dongfang Yueming, her eyes filled with deep worry.

However, Dongfang Yueming seemed not to have seen the Xue Ya crow exuding a murderous aura.

He calmly probed the newly acquired spirit technique jade slip with his divine sense.

[Ding! You have learned the first-tier intermediate spirit technique - Wind Blade Frenzy!]

First-Tier Intermediate Spiritual Technique - Sea of Clouds Rising Tide!

First-Tier Intermediate Spiritual Technique - Wind Blade Frenzy!

Two completely different insights into spiritual arts collided violently in his mind!

[Ding! Fusion successful! Obtained "Tier 1 Advanced Spiritual Technique - Wind and Cloud Annihilation"!]

In an instant, an even more profound and powerful understanding of spiritual arts surged into his mind!

This brand-new spiritual technique possesses the grandeur of a sea of clouds, the sharpness of a wind blade, and also carries a hint of... a terrifying aura of annihilation of all things!

After doing all this, he slowly raised his head and looked at the Xue Ya that was approaching him step by step.

"Boy, you're about to die, and you're still playing tricks?" Xue Ya looked at Dongfang Yueming's nonchalant demeanor, his displeasure growing. "You bear the aura of the Bloodthirsty Awl. Hand it over, and I'll grant you a quick death!"

He stretched out his hand, and a blood-red hand formed from pure spiritual energy grabbed down at Dongfang Yueming's head!

He was confident that with his cultivation at the Innate Sixth Level, dealing with a mere third-level Innate Third Level cultivator would be a piece of cake!

Hei Sha and Song Qi both wore smug, sinister smiles!

Ma Qianqian's heart was in her throat!

However, facing this fatal blow that could instantly kill any Mid-stage Innate Realm expert, Dongfang Yueming simply raised his hand.

He casually pointed a finger at the large, blood-red hand that was grabbing at him.

"The Wind and Cloud Annihilation."

"Call out--!"

There was no earth-shattering noise.

Only a seemingly ordinary gray gust of wind, formed from the condensation of wind and clouds, silently pierced the sky.

The once arrogant, blood-red hand, upon contact with this finger-force, was instantly pierced, disintegrated, and annihilated, as if it had encountered its nemesis!

Immediately afterwards, the gray finger gust, its momentum undiminished, struck Xue Ya's terrified face!

"Puff!"

A soft sound.

The savage grin on Xue Ya's face froze completely.

His body, along with his soul, was completely disintegrated by the power containing the meaning of annihilation, turning into ashes scattered throughout the sky.

The entire venue fell into an eternal, deathly silence once again.

The smiles on Hei Sha and Song Qi's faces froze, like two comical statues.

Dongfang Yueming frowned when he couldn't find Xue Ya's storage pouch. [This guy didn't even bring any spirit stones?]

He shook his head, somewhat disappointed, and turned to leave.

As he passed by Ma Qianqian, he casually left behind a single sentence.

From now on, you're under my protection.

After saying that, he disappeared at the end of the alley as if he had never been there.

After a long while, Hei Sha and Song Qi seemed to wake up from a dream, collapsing to the ground with a thud, their bodies already soaked in cold sweat!

Ma Qianqian stared blankly at the disappearing figure, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder; she was completely mesmerized.

She snapped out of her daze and, without any hesitation, immediately chased after it in that direction!

"Senior! Senior, please wait!"

She caught up with the figure, mustered her courage, looked up at her pretty face, and asked earnestly:

"Senior... just how strong are you?"
