Chapter 144: The Killing of Ming and the Horizontal Push of Donglai

  "Xu Yang, you can't defeat me!" Li Guanxi roared, the fire eagle swooped down, its claws swiping at the small Zhu Que, aiming to tear it apart!

  Xu Yang's face remained unchanged, Zhu Que rushed up, his eyes opened wide, and two streams of flames shot out, piercing the eagle claws. Under the explosion of Xuan Li, the eagle claws shattered into a sky filled with fiery red!

  The crowd erupted in a chorus of gasps as Ben Ming's Xuanling suffered heavy damage, which would inevitably affect Xuan himself.

  Li Guanxi's face turned slightly pale, and he took a step back. He quickly recalled the Huoying Xuanling into his body and turned to flee.

  "Li Xiaoqun Hou has been defeated!" someone exclaimed.

  Xu Yang's eyes turned cold: "Lost and want to leave? Stay!" Zhu Que flapped its wings, bringing up a cloud of fire, rushing towards his back.

  Li Guanxi turned around, his eyes shooting out a venomous gaze: "Xu Yang, you dare to kill me? The Li family is a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, with a long legacy..."

  Before his words had fallen, a scarlet bird let out a shrill cry and burst forth from his back, exploding through his chest and tearing his body to shreds in an instant!

  Under the raging fire, this little blood mist also rapidly evaporated and transformed into a beautiful and enchanting arc of light.

  "It's not suitable to stay here for long, it's better to return to Haiyun Mountain as soon as possible." Xu Yang took a step forward and his heart was filled with alarm. He tapped the ground with his toes and slid sideways for several meters, like a large roc spreading its wings and flying away.

  This is the basic body method that Xu Yang gained from observing the battle of the Supreme Beast in the Shadow Stone, not a mysterious technique, but its importance is no less than that of the mysterious technique. This is the most basic combat insight, and also the raw material for many mysterious techniques.

  In the place where Xuyang's body was left, a burst of flames suddenly erupted, exploding with a loud bang, and blasting out a three-zhang-square pit on the bluestone street!

  "This is another blow, what a strong power!" The viewers had not yet recovered from the shock of Li Guanxi's defeat when they saw this scene.

  Xu Yang turned his head and saw two figures walking slowly towards him.

  One of them, who looked like a guard, was holding a roll of animal skin map and following behind another person.

  The one walking in front was a young man with handsome eyebrows and eyes, who was none other than Liu Mingtang.

  "It seems that a battle has already taken place here, and Li Guanxi was killed by you," Liu Mingchuan said with a cold smile. "Your strength is stronger than I imagined. However, after fighting Li Guanxi, your losses are not small, right?"

  Xu Yang's reply was brief: "Less nonsense, if you want to fight, then let's fight!"

  Liu Ming laughed loudly: "It seems you can't wait for your own failure, I'm different from them, not only do I want the seat of the Hidden Dragon List, but also your life!"

  "A murder has taken place here, and at the speed of the Golden Eagle Guard, they will arrive within the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Young master, the night is long and full of dreams." The guard holding the map reminded him.

  With a hiss, the fire snakes leapt into the air, with Liu Ming as their center. Eight fire snakes slithered along the ground, winding their way towards Xu Yang.

  Xu Yang noticed the guard beside him holding a treasure map, and his heart skipped a beat: "Could this be the famous Tracking Treasure Map [Fractal Shadow Map] of the Golden Age? Looking at its size, it doesn't seem quite right."

  Liu Ming's eight fire snakes had arrived in front of Xu Yang, one zhang away. The fire snakes were spiritual and coiled around each other, each one six feet long and one foot thick, striking at Xu Yang!

  The phoenix cried out, and the sparrow-like creatures surrounded it in a circle. In an instant, like lightning striking flint, all eight fire snakes had their heads severed, transforming into red flames that dispersed.

  "What a mysterious spirit! So powerful!" The onlookers were shocked, an old man exclaimed, "This is absolutely not an ordinary bird, it's probably the offspring of a fantasy beast!"

  "It is said that in ancient times, there was a supreme beast that contended for hegemony, the Vermilion Bird of the South, which shook the four directions with its might. Could this be what one gets from contemplating the Vermilion Bird?" someone speculated.

  Liu Ming transformed into a fire snake, but it was not his original divine spirit, so he was beheaded by Zhu Que with one blow. He heard the words and coldly laughed: "Relying on Xu Yang? A descendant of a third-rate family, also worthy of observing Zhu Que?"

  His body was surrounded by a surging, fiery aura, which churned and foamed like the tide. From within it emerged a huge black snake with eyes that shone like two bright red lines, illuminating everything within a foot of its gaze. The massive serpent was six feet long and as thick as a child's arm, exuding an aura of ferocity that intimidated all who beheld it.

  "My life-bound Xuanling is the ferocious sea beast from the ocean of thoughts - the Sea Peng Snake, transformed and emerged! Although it hasn't evolved its twin wings yet, it's enough to kill you!" Liu Ming shouted. The Sea Peng Snake Xuanling spat out black smoke, shook its head and swung its tail, pressing down on Xu Yang.

  "Strangle!" With a single command, the majestic serpent's sturdy body swiftly coiled around Xu Yang, its speed so rapid that it seemed to be on the verge of closing in and suffocating him alive.

  Xu Yang's eyes turned cold and harsh, Gu Ding sword was drawn out, the mysterious pattern on the sword flashed and disappeared!

  In the void, countless flames and sword shadows merged into one, casting a magnificent giant sword over ten feet long! The flame giant sword swooped down, nailing the head of the Sea Peng Snake Xuanling to the ground!

  Xu Yang's cultivation had reached the Xuan Shi realm, and with this move of Di Jian sword technique, his power surged rapidly, increasing by more than double compared to the Xuan Shi realm!

  The Haipeng snake wrapped around the flame giant sword with thorns, twisting in pain, and black fog churned. Liu Ming let out a dull hum, his face turned pale, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth! He hastily retreated because Xu Yang had already controlled the Vermilion Bird Spirit, shooting towards him like lightning!

  "Xu Yang, if you dare to kill me, my grandfather will not let you go..." Liu Mingxuan thought he was quick and agile, but still couldn't dodge Zhuque Xuanling's extreme speed, and cried out in despair.

  "The same lines, no new ideas," Xǔ Yáng said indifferently. "Killing one is killing, and two is also killing! The 'Split Image Diagram' you left behind, I'll take it!"

  Liu Ming's body was pierced through the chest by Zhu Que Xuanling, and under the violent explosion of Huo Xuanli, his thoracic cavity was blown to pieces. Xu Yang's figure flashed out like lightning, grabbing towards one of the stunned Liu family guards standing aside.

  That Liu family guard was also in the Xuan Shi realm, but his combat power compared to Liu Mingtian and Li Guanxu, those noble sons, was far inferior, and he couldn't even compare with Xu Yang. Seeing Xu Yang rush over, he could only summon a black bear Xuanling to try and resist.

  Although the black bear was his innate Xuanling, it didn't have any effect at all. It was blown out by Zhuque's flame and pierced through its chest cavity, exploding into a vast expanse of yellow Xuan energy.

  The Liu family guardian was brutally knocked out of the Xuan Shi realm boundary, his wrist hurt, and his hands holding the treasure map were cut off at the wrist.

  Xu Yang grabbed the yellowed beast skin scroll and stuffed it into his storage ring. He raised his hand at the place where Liu Ming and Li Guanxi died, took a deep breath, and absorbed their two storage rings into his hand.

  "Is there anyone else who wants to take a place on the Xuan Yuan Dragon List?" Xuan Yang looked around, and in every corner of the square, there were robust young men standing, their presence no less than that of Li Guanxi and Liu Mingchuan.

  As soon as they saw Xu Yang's gaze sweep over them, these arrogant and proud young masters of noble families unconsciously took two steps back, intimidated by Xu Yang's aura.

  "What a young killing god..." someone muttered, "Too ruthless, dominating the younger generation of Donglai City, no one dares to provoke him!"
