Yuan Jiu thought for a moment, then said, "I have seen Yuan Xiao use his full strength before. When he was sparring with Brother Yang before, he probably used about 70% of his strength."
"Seventy percent strength?"
Yang Qi nodded slightly, not feeling too strange. Yuan Xiao and he had the same cultivation level, so it was impossible for him to burst out with all his strength before knowing Yuan Xiao's strength. Otherwise, it would not be a competition, and they would probably cause damage to each other.
“If Yuan Xiao only used 70% of his strength when fighting me before, he should be able to win this time by using the power of his bloodline.” Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
After the previous six battles, he had some understanding of the strength of the figure. The figure faced by a Nine-Star Late-Stage Martial Emperor should be stronger than the ordinary peak Martial Emperor, but not yet at the Half-Step Martial Emperor level. If Yuan Xiao uses the power of his bloodline, he can fully burst out with the strength of a Half-Step Martial Emperor level.
As if to confirm Yang Qi's guess, after only a brief fight, Yuan Xiao directly activated the power of his bloodline, and fought directly with the third level of the Source Clan's bloodline power. After all, the test before him was only to select the six fastest people who passed. Not only did they have to defeat the human figure, but they also had to be fast!
Yuan Xiao's strength seemed to be slightly stronger than what Yuan Jiu said. Using the power of his bloodline, he defeated the figure in less than an incense stick of time.
"I'll do it!"
Yuan Xiao successfully defeated the human figure, becoming the only one among the seven people who succeeded. This also inspired other practitioners, and practitioners from the Phoenix Clan immediately rushed towards the human figure.
As time went by, more and more practitioners tried, but only a few succeeded. Not counting Feng Ke, there were seven people in the Phoenix Clan, and so far, five of them tried, but only one succeeded. There were nine people in the Clan, and six of them tried, but only one succeeded. There were five people in the mysterious dark blue robe, and three of them tried, but only one succeeded.
The remaining practitioners continued to try. Feng Yan and Yuan Jiu naturally had no surprises. They were the most powerful practitioners in their respective tribes, so they easily defeated the human figure, and in the shortest time, less than a cup of tea. Ao Ye, the leader of the Dragon Clan, also defeated the human figure, using the power of his bloodline, which took a cup of tea.
"I'm already ranked seventh." As Ao Ye defeated his opponent, Yuan Xiao had a bitter smile on his face.
So far, eight people have defeated their opponents, but Yuan Xiao is already ranked seventh. In the end, only the six practitioners who took the shortest time passed this test. Yuan Xiao has stopped at the first test.
Looking at Yuan Xiao with a bitter face, Yang Qi and Yuan Jiu couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Yuan Xiao's strength was not weak, but most of the practitioners who entered the ruins this time were monstrous practitioners from the Dragon and Phoenix clans, and their bloodlines were not inferior to that of the Yuan clan.
With the failure of the last of the five people in dark blue robes, only two of them succeeded in the end. However, the strength of these five people surprised everyone present, because each of them had the strength of a half-step Martial Emperor.
From the first test to now, among the twenty-five people, only two people are left who have not yet fought with the figure, one is Yang Qi, and the other is Feng Ke!
Feng Ke was bound to lose without a doubt. This was not only clear to Feng Ke himself, but also to all the practitioners present. Therefore, the only one who still had hope was Yang Qi.
Feng Ke's expression remained calm as he stared at the figure in the depths of the starry sky, but he had no intention of moving forward at all. He would fail anyway, so he had decided to be the last one to take action.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's body flashed and he rushed directly towards the figure in the depths of the starry sky.
Whoosh~
The figure sensed Yang Qi's arrival, and the fluctuation of his Yuanli energy immediately recovered to the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Arts. He shook the long sword in his hand, and it turned into a sharp sword light and slashed towards Yang Qi.
"break!"
Facing the incoming attack, Yang Qi shouted loudly, raised the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, and directly met the incoming sword light.
"Um?"
At the moment when Yang Qi made his move, Emperor Yi Yun's gaze fixed, and a hint of surprise appeared in the depths of his eyes.
After all, he was just an energy body formed by a wisp of consciousness, and could not be compared with his peak period, so he could not sense many things. But now, as soon as Yang Qi made a move, he immediately sensed it. Yang Qi's attack was the strongest among them!
Boom!
The two sword beams collided with each other, accompanied by a loud bang. The black sword beam directly broke through the attack of the figure, and fell on the figure at an unslow speed, blasting the figure away.
What
Upon seeing this scene, the faces of the cultivators present, except for a few who already knew Yang Qi's strength, suddenly changed. This kind of absolute crushing was the first time that they had ever seen such an absolute crushing in a fight with an opponent of equal cultivation level!
“It’s over.” A bitter smile appeared on the face of the Phoenix clan’s nine-star late-stage martial arts practitioner. Just by looking at the strength Yang Qi showed at this moment, she already knew that she, who was ranked sixth, would have to move back.
Ao Ye raised his eyebrows, with an incredible look on his face, "His strength is so strong, his power must have reached the level of Martial Emperor."
You have to know that the Nine-Star Martial Queen's figure is stronger than the peak Martial Emperor. Even if he bursts out with all his strength, he can't do it like Yang Qi. Only by transforming into his original body and using the power of his blood can he do it. Doesn't this mean that the strength Yang Qi showed at this time is already equal to his desperate strength
"When he helped Feng Yan and the others before, the strength he displayed was only comparable to that of an ordinary peak Martial Emperor. Did he deliberately conceal his strength at the time?" A thought flashed through Ao Ye's mind.
However, what Ao Ye didn't understand was that when Yang Qi rescued Feng Ke, Feng Ke's life was in danger. Logically speaking, Yang Qi should not have hidden his strength in this situation, because if he did, Feng Ke would most likely die.
"His strength..."
Feng Ke's face was extremely ugly. Although he was seriously injured, his eyesight was still there. Naturally, he could see that the strength displayed by Yang Qi was no weaker than that of other people in desperate states.
Logically, Yang Qi's strength had nothing to do with him. However, when he was besieged by Zhou Yuan and the other two, the strength displayed by Yang Qi and Yuan Xiao was only at the peak of Martial Emperor. If Yang Qi and Yuan Xiao had burst out with all their strength at that time, why would he have been seriously injured by Zhou Yuan
"They did it on purpose, on purpose!" Feng Ke gritted his teeth and stared at Yang Qi intently, his eyes looking as if they were about to spit fire.
At this point, Feng Ke understood that Yang Qi and Yuan Xiao deliberately concealed their strength because they didn't want to save him. They wanted to take the opportunity to join their team and get the chance to enter the ruins, but they made him unable to pass even the first test!
"Yang Qi!"
Feng Ke's heart was filled with murderous intent. At this moment, his hatred for Yang Qi even exceeded his hatred for Zhou Yuan. (To be continued)
