Long Yu had seen Xu Qiangyi for quite a long time.
When he first arrived at the border town of Beihai, he queued up to participate in the Border Town Martial Arts Competition organized by the Wanjian Sect. When he signed up, he met Xu Qiangyi. This guy relied on his cultivation and status to directly break the arm of another innocent martial artist.
From that time on, Long Yu had no good feelings towards Xu Qiangyi, but he had never fought him head-on.
Unexpectedly, in the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Tower, Xu Qiangyi just came and blocked Long Yu.
"Long Yu, you are dead."
A bloodthirsty look flashed in Xu Qiangyi's eyes, and his whole body exuded a mighty aura, which shook away all the dead branches and strange beasts that were constantly besieging him.
With the power of his ninth level True Spirit, these dead branch beasts of the sixth and seventh levels of True Spirit were no match to him at all.
After shaking off the dead branch monster, Xu Qiangyi immediately rushed towards Long Yu and punched through the air. The powerful momentum condensed into a fist wind and slammed towards Long Yu.
“I’m quite confident.”
The corners of Long Yu's mouth curled up slightly. How could he not know that Xu Qiangyi was just testing him
"The dragon bird flies into the sky in an instant!"
The dark wings behind Long Yu spread out, allowing him to burst out at terrifying speed from a static state, and in an instant he was behind Xu Qiangyi.
"Drunk in the underworld!"
Long Yu threw a backhand punch, which hit Xu Qiangyi's back hard, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and fall heavily to the ground.
With just one move, Long Yu knocked Xu Qiangyi to the ground.
However, this was also because Long Yu used the Dragon Bird to burst out at a terrifying speed in an instant, leaving Xu Qiangyi with no way to react.
When Xu Qiangyi attacked him, Long Yu knew very well that Xu Qiangyi just wanted to test him.
After all, even Xuanji Shanhai had said that he, Long Yu, had the strength to fight against the strong men in the Tianren Secret Realm, and everyone already knew the flaw of his strongest martial art.
Xu Qiangyi obviously wanted to test Long Yu, but unfortunately, Long Yu would not give him the chance to test him. He burst out with unparalleled speed and knocked him directly to the ground.
"you you… "
Xu Qiangyi vomited blood and tried hard to get up from the ground, but the Nine Nether Qi was raging in his body, making it impossible for him to stand up again.
"What's wrong with me?"
Long Yu asked back calmly.
If he hadn't suddenly burst out at high speed, Xu Qiangyi would most likely have turned around and run away after realizing he couldn't beat him.
Long Yu didn't want to waste time with him, so he took action and solved the problem with one move.
To deal with an ordinary martial artist at the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm, Long Yu now doesn't need to expend much effort.
"you you… "
Xu Qiangyi seemed to want to say something, but the serious injuries he suffered made it impossible for him to utter a complete sentence.
He regretted it very much. He never expected that Long Yu's fighting ability would be so strong.
He thought that if Long Yu didn't dare to use his strongest martial art, he could still deal with Long Yu. However, he didn't expect that he couldn't see Long Yu's speed at all.
Finally, Xu Qiangyi took his last breath and died.
"If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed..."
Long Yu looked at Xu Qiangyi's body and felt no pity at all.
He raised his head and glanced around, and saw that after those dead branch beasts sensed his aura, they all retreated away at once, and did not dare to fight him at all.
"I just cast the Drunken Sleeping in the Underworld, and the aura of the Nine Netherworlds seems to be a little too strong."
Long Yu knew that these dead branch beasts were more afraid of the breath of the Nine Netherworld, so he ignored them, left Xu Qiangyi's body behind, and continued on his way.
The space on the second floor of the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Tower seems to be quite large.
Long Yu walked through it but didn't find any treasures, but he met many disciples who also came to participate in Tianyu's Holy Selection, or were already disciples of Tianyu's North Court.
Although these martial artists saw Long Yu, they did not cause trouble for him. After all, not everyone had a grudge against him.
"the third floor!"
Not long after, Long Yu found the stairs leading to the third floor of the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Tower according to the guidance given by the Nine Nether Dragon Seal.
"Yellow Spring Barrier."
Before stepping onto the stairs, Long Yu condensed the Yellow Spring Barrier as usual and surrounded himself.
When he stepped onto the stairs, the dead branches and strange beasts scattered all over the stairs really had no intention of attacking him, allowing him to climb the stairs smoothly all the way to the third floor.
Except for Long Yu, no one else had it so easy.
Even though the stairs from the second floor to the third floor are filled with dead branch beasts of the seventh and eighth levels of the True Spirit Secret Realm, some of the upper eighth levels of beasts are already a threat to martial artists of the ninth level of the True Spirit Secret Realm, and one might be slaughtered by them if not careful.
Under such circumstances, when Long Yu stepped onto the third floor of the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Tower, there were only a handful of people in the entire third floor of the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Tower.
It was not easy to find the stairs leading to the third floor, not to mention having to pass through so many dead branches and monsters on the stairs.
"Um?"
Long Yu had just stepped onto the third floor when he sensed the sound of a fierce battle coming from not far away, as if someone was fighting a group of dead branch monsters.
"Could it be someone I know?"
Long Yu thought about it and ran towards the place where the fighting sound came from.
After passing through several passages, Long Yu came to an ancient palace. Looking inside, he saw several martial artists fighting with the dead branch beasts in this ancient palace.
Among them was a dead branch strange beast, which was extremely large in size, as if many dead branch strange beasts were combined together. Although its cultivation level was only at the eighth level of the True Spirit, its strength was extremely terrifying, far exceeding that of an ordinary martial artist at the eighth level or even the ninth level of the True Spirit!
"Feng Yao?"
Long Yu saw that Feng Yao, who was wearing a light green dress, was joining forces with three other unknown martial artists to besiege the giant dead branch monster.
The other three martial artists were all disciples of Tianyu North Court, and were all at the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm. However, even if they joined forces with Feng Yao, they were no match for the giant dead branch monster.
The four of them were all injured to varying degrees and looked extremely miserable.
"Take action?"
Long Yu thought about it for a moment and decided to take action.
It’s not that he wanted to save Feng Yao so much, but he had never seen such a giant dead branch beast before. If there were any treasures in the Dragon Skeleton Ancient Tower, they would most likely be guarded by such rare and powerful creatures!
Obtaining the treasure is his biggest goal of this trip.
In addition, if there is a chance, we must deal with Xuanji Tianchen, find Chihuo, and find out what Chihuo has experienced in the past two years.
"kill!"
Long Yu's mind moved, murderous aura surged throughout his body, and the Nine Nether Qi condensed on his fist.
Since the Nine Nether Qi is the most convenient and effective way to deal with the dead branch monster, he certainly won't use other powers. The power of the Nine Nether Qi alone is enough.
As he moved, he punched the ground, and suddenly a column of nine-ghost air gathered from the ground. Not long after, it condensed into a column of air and burst out.
This column of Nine Netherworld Energy directly hit the giant dead branch monster, causing the dead branch monster to let out a piercing hissing sound.
Originally, the giant dead branch monster had an absolute upper hand when dealing with Feng Yao and the other three, and it almost killed those martial artists several times.
But now, the giant dead branch monster was bombarded by the Nine Nether Explosion and instantly wilted, with its combat effectiveness dropping by more than one level.
As Long Yu arrived, the battle situation changed drastically!
"It's that Long Yu."
A disciple from the North Court of Tianyu saw Long Yu at first sight, but he didn't take it seriously. He just sneered and warned: "Long Yu, kid, get out of here quickly!"
"Yes, this giant dead branch beast is our trophy. If you don't get out of here, we will treat you as our enemy!"
The other person also laughed contemptuously.
Long Yu was a little surprised by the attitude of the two. He had obviously shown up to save these guys, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it and even warned him to leave!
"If it weren't for this move of mine, you wouldn't be a match for this strange beast."
Long Yu said lightly.
"Why do you care?"
One of them sneered: "If you don't get out of here, we will kill you first!"
"Sorry, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
After Long Yu finished speaking, he continued to punch the giant dead branch monster.
Although this giant dead branch monster was able to deal with Feng Yao and the other four at the same time and was extremely powerful, it was only so-so compared to Long Yu, not to mention that the Nine Nether Qi had too strong an inhibitory effect on it.
Long Yu punched the Drunken Yellow Spring again, and the Nine Nether Qi completely penetrated into the giant dead branch beast, and then its entire body exploded!
A giant dead branch monster that was extremely difficult to kill for Feng Yao and the other three was actually killed by Long Yu with just two punches!
As the giant dead branch monster was watching, its dead branches and vines turned into pieces and exploded, and unexpectedly a bright little ball of light emerged from its body.
"What's this?"
Long Yu frowned slightly.
"Exotic beast soul, grab it quickly!"
At this moment, one of the Tianyu North Court disciples shouted loudly and jumped towards the bright little ball of light at the fastest speed.
The soul of a strange beast
Long Yu's heart moved, and without any hesitation, a pair of wings appeared behind him, carrying him to the bright little ball of light at an extremely fast speed.
His speed is much faster than that of the disciples of Tianyu North Court.
In the blink of an eye, Long Yu grabbed the bright little ball of light and held it in his hand!
This giant dead branch monster was completely killed by Long Yu.
If he didn't show up, it would obviously not be so easy for Feng Yao and the other three to deal with this strange beast, and one or two of them might even die.
In this situation, Long Yu took action to grab the spoils without feeling any guilt at all.
"You dare to steal our things?"
Seeing this, the young disciple from the North Court of Tianyu who jumped up had a vicious look on his face. He then kicked Long Yu, and a golden glow of divine text appeared on his foot!
"The power of the divine text? The disciples of Tianyu North Academy are indeed powerful. However, I was just thinking about trying out the power of the 'fighting' divine text!"
Long Yu's eyes lit up, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The true spirit of the Taiyin Moon appeared behind him, and a momentum of the Taiyin domain spread out!
