Duan Ying’s words carried a certain arrogance.
It seed as if letting Wang Ruoxie follow him was a blessing for the latter.
Of course, in the eyes of the surrounding people, this was indeed a blessing Wang Ruoxie had earned through eight lifetis of cultivation.
Because in their eyes, even if Wang Ruoxie’s strength was slightly stronger than Duan Ying, his status was far inferior.
One must know that Duan Ying was a top genius from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. Not only were his qualifications and strength far beyond ordinary people, but the power behind him was also extrely formidable.
Even to take a thousand steps back, even if the power Duan Ying belonged to was just an ordinary power in the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, it would still be an incomparable behemoth in the Eastern Domain.
Therefore, many people looked at Wang Ruoxie with envious eyes.
If he agreed to follow Duan Ying, once the trial tournant ended, he could go with Duan Ying to the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty and enter that highly coveted great power.
However, Wang Ruoxie scoffed and said, "Follow you? You think you’re worthy!"
"This guy... is too arrogant."
Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie’s words, everyone secretly thought in their hearts that Wang Ruoxie was truly ungrateful.
"I wanted to give you a way out, but since you’re so ungrateful, you can’t bla ."
Duan Ying’s face darkened, and he coldly said to Wang Ruoxie.
After speaking, his figure suddenly charged out, and once again he punched towards Wang Ruoxie with full force.
This punch contained all his strength, its power several tis greater than before. Even soone at the Essence Pill Realm’s Second Layer would find it difficult to withstand.
So Duan Ying was confident that this punch would surely kill the opponent completely, even if the opponent also had the Essence Pill Realm’s First Layer cultivation, there would still be no surprises.
"Heaven-Shocking Technique!"
Facing Duan Ying’s full-force punch, a flash of sword light appeared in Wang Ruoxie’s eyes, and soon the upper-grade Earth Artifact level longsword he obtained recently appeared in his hand.
Without any hesitation, he instantly swung a sword, directly using the fifth technique of the Shocking God Sword Technique, the Heaven-Shocking Technique.
This was truly the first ti he fully executed the Heaven-Shocking Technique.
During the previous battle with Gu Wenshan, although he had also used the Heaven-Shocking Technique, it was by forcibly executing it with the Blood Burning Secret Technique at the cost of five-tenths of his Qi and blood.
This not only failed to display the true power of the Heaven-Shocking Technique but also resulted in a loss of Qi and blood, greatly reducing his strength.
But now, he could easily execute the Heaven-Shocking Technique, truly unleashing its power. Coupled with the assistance of the upper-grade Earth Artifact level longsword, the power that erupted was many tis stronger.
Furthermore, after breaking through to the Essence Pill Realm, his Sword Intent had also increased to the Fifth Layer.
The support of the Fifth Layer Sword Intent made his swordsmanship even more formidable.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Wang Ruoxie dare to clash head-on with him, Duan Ying couldn’t help but sneer coldly.
However, in the next instant, the smile on his face completely froze, and even a look of terror appeared in his eyes.
Because he could feel the threat of death from this sword strike of the opponent.
"Not good, retreat."
Feeling the terrible power contained within Wang Ruoxie’s sword, Duan Ying’s face changed dramatically in horror, and imdiately his figure retreated violently.
However, Wang Ruoxie’s sword not only had terrifying power, but its speed also reached an astonishing level.
"Swoosh..."
With a faint sound, endless Sword Qi instantly engulfed Duan Ying’s entire body.
For a long ti, the Sword Qi dispersed, and the space gradually returned to calm.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Duan Ying lay on the ground covered in blood, already completely lifeless, dead as dead could be.
At this mont, everyone was stunned by this scene.
They could hardly believe what they were seeing, that a top genius ranked within the top five hundred of the Myriad Dragons List was killed with just one sword strike.
"God, could he also be from so top-tier power of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty?"
"Regardless of his background, with his qualifications and strength, he is definitely capable of entering the top five hundred of the Myriad Dragons List, and his rank would not be low."
...
Everyone looked at Wang Ruoxie with eyes full of awe, and many secretly speculated about his identity and background.
Wang Ruoxie stepped forward, walked up to Duan Ying’s corpse, retrieved the storage ring from his body, and then swiftly absorbed his Blood Soul.
To his disappointnt, even though Duan Ying was ranked in the top five hundred of the Myriad Dragons List, his Bloodline Tier was only Celestial Level Sixth Grade. The Bloodline Power contained in his Blood Soul was completely incapable of allowing Wang Ruoxie’s bloodline to transform and advance.
Wang Ruoxie ignored the people around him who were looking at him with strange gazes, his body trembled slightly, and he continued to flicker forward.
After breaking through to the Essence Pill Realm, his speed was much faster than before, even without using the Cloud Soaring Step, he could easily cross a hundred feet in an instant.
A mont later, Wang Ruoxie arrived in front of an Ancient Tower building.
At the entrance of the Ancient Tower, many people had already gathered, including Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Xin Yao, and Bai Yinyin.
"The Ancient Tower must contain significant treasures, and it might even hold the inheritance of Venerable Lan Yue."
"Indeed, the body of the Ancient Tower is covered with mysterious ancient secret patterns, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura, this is definitely extraordinary."
"The entrance to the Ancient Tower has always been closed, and no one knows when it will open."
...
People gathered in small groups, whispering among themselves.
"So the source of the Blood Evil Qi was this Ancient Tower."
Wang Ruoxie’s gaze turned toward the Ancient Tower in front, and he frowned slightly, thinking in his mind.
Upon first entering these Ancient Ruins, he faintly sensed a Blood Evil Qi perating the entire space.
However, he had never been able to figure out where this Blood Evil Qi ca from.
Now, standing in front of the Ancient Tower, he felt a more intense Blood Evil Qi, and finally figured out the source of the Blood Evil Qi.
Because of this, unlike others who were excited, he had a foreboding feeling in his heart.
"The tower gate has been closed all this ti, it seems we must find a way to enter the tower ourselves."
Nangong Han frowned slightly, speaking to Dongfang Qiong, Xin Yao, and Bai Yinyin.
"Then we’ll join forces to blast open the tower gate."
Dongfang Qiong nodded slightly and said.
"Okay."
Xin Yao and Bai Yinyin both nodded in agreent.
"I wonder what’s up with Duan Ying, he hasn’t shown up yet."
Nangong Han scanned the crowd with his eyes, then said.
"Don’t worry about him, even if he’s not here, with the strength of the four of us, we should be able to blast open the tower gate."
Dongfang Qiong said, "Besides, it’s even better if he doesn’t co, we can keep more for ourselves."
"Alright, let’s join forces and blast open the tower gate first."
Nangong Han nodded and said.
Imdiately, the four of them stepped forward together to the tightly closed tower gate.
Without any hesitation, Nangong Han and the other three fully activated their True Essence, and then almost simultaneously, punched towards the tower gate.
All four of them were at the Essence Pill Realm’s First Layer, and they were also top geniuses ranked in the top five hundred of the Myriad Dragons List, ranked higher than Duan Ying, and naturally, their strength was even greater.
