"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
You know, Yang Qi is best at preserving his life. This method can consume more than 10% of his vitality in an instant. It can be imagined how terrifying the blood martial arts of the yellow-brown giant scorpion is!
Such power has definitely reached the level of a full-strength attack from a Nine-Star Martial Emperor in the late stage. Even among those in the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor, it is definitely not weak!
You know, this is just a test faced by an eight-star martial emperor peak cultivator, but the opponent's attack power has almost reached the level of a nine-star martial emperor in the late stage. If it were an ordinary eight-star martial emperor peak cultivator, just this bloodline martial arts, the loss of vitality would probably reach 40% to 50%!
Although his own vitality was instantly depleted by more than 10%, Yang Qi was quite thankful because when the tawny giant scorpion used its bloodline martial arts, the blue giant wolf did not use its bloodline martial arts. If the blue giant wolf also used its bloodline martial arts, he would definitely lose more vitality, and even his soul might be damaged. This was a blessing in disguise.
"kill!"
Yang Qi shouted loudly, and urged the Black Phoenix Sword with all his strength, charging towards the giant yellow-brown scorpion. One attack after another containing terrifying soul fluctuations attacked the giant yellow-brown scorpion.
The soul of the yellow-brown giant scorpion was badly damaged. Now facing Yang Qi's even more fierce soul attack, it only lasted for a moment before losing consciousness under the soul attack of the Cauldron of All Things activated by Yang Qi.
"Huh..."
Seeing that the tawny giant scorpion lost consciousness, Yang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The tawny giant scorpion no longer had the strength to fight. Next, he only needed to focus on dealing with the blue giant wolf.
Compared to the yellow-brown giant scorpion, the blue giant wolf is undoubtedly much easier to deal with. Apart from the blue giant wolf's bloodline martial arts that can pose some threat to Yang Qi, other means are unlikely to pose a threat to Yang Qi. In addition, Yang Qi already had the experience of killing the blue giant wolf before, so it was naturally easy for him to capture it when he made his move again.
After a fierce fight that lasted for less than half an incense stick, the giant blue wolf fell to the ground unwillingly, completely losing its life.
After killing the giant blue wolf, Yang Qi quickly swallowed a few pills to restore the energy and vitality consumed in the previous battle, as well as his own energy. Then he launched a soul attack again to deal with the unconscious giant blue wolf.
During this period, Yang Qi also tried to use his energy to attack the giant yellow-brown scorpion. Unfortunately, even with all his energy, he could only barely leave a faint white mark on the giant yellow-brown scorpion.
In terms of physical strength alone, the yellow-brown giant scorpion in front of him is obviously stronger than ordinary giant scorpions. With Yang Qi's strength, even if he uses the blood of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix, he may be able to barely break through the opponent's defense.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soul attacks continued to bombard the yellow-brown giant scorpion. After spending nearly half an incense stick of time, Yang Qi finally completely annihilated the soul of the yellow-brown giant scorpion.
A slightly exhausted Yang Qi looked at the dead giant tawny scorpion and sighed, "The two strange beasts in front of me are almost the limit of what I can deal with at the same time."
In this battle, Yang Qi suffered heavy losses. He lost nearly half of his vitality and only 20% to 30% of his energy. His energy was also greatly consumed. If there was another monster of this level, Yang Qi would have to fight hard to have a chance to kill all three monsters.
If it were Yang Qi who had just entered the ruins, it would not be so easy for him to kill the two strange beasts in front of him. Even if he succeeded in killing them, he would probably be exhausted and would not have the strength to fight again.
After collecting the corpses of the two strange beasts, Yang Qi continued to move towards the depths of this space, but his speed slowed down a lot. While moving forward, he refined the medicinal power in his body to recover the energy consumed in the previous battle.
In this way, Yang Qi didn't know how far he had walked. After he had recovered, he finally came to the end of this space. The reason why he came to the end of this space was very simple. At the end of Yang Qi's sight, he could clearly see a staircase leading to the fifth floor of the palace.
However, when he saw the stairs, Yang Qi's face did not show any joy. Instead, there was a hint of solemnity, because at the bottom of the stairs was a blue-gray figure.
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the figure, his expression froze, and he muttered to himself, "Do I have to defeat that figure to reach the fifth floor of the palace?"
That figure, if nothing unexpected happened, was the one guarding the stairs. If Yang Qi wanted to climb the stairs, he had to defeat the other party. Being placed here by the palace owner to guard the stairs was definitely not that easy to deal with. The difficulty was probably higher than the two that Yang Qi had killed before. Even though Yang Qi had recovered to his peak state, he didn't dare to say that he was sure to defeat the figure in front of him.
Yang Qi looked at the figure in the distance and thought to himself, "The figure didn't take the initiative to attack. Is it because I'm not yet in his attack range?"
Although he had seen the figure, he did not take the initiative to attack. This meant that Yang Qi was temporarily safe. However, as long as he wanted to go to the fifth floor of the palace, he would definitely have to fight with the figure!
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "The current situation is beneficial to me."
Although he would have to fight with the figure sooner or later, the fact that the figure did not take the initiative to attack him when he discovered the figure was actually good news for Yang Qi.
Yang Qi's most powerful killing move is actually a killing move that completely activates the blood of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix. However, it takes time for Yang Qi to accumulate power in order to completely activate the blood of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix. In a normal fight, the opponent cannot give Yang Qi so much time to accumulate power, so in a fight, Yang Qi can only directly activate the blood of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix, but the power he activates is very limited.
If Yang Qi was given some time to completely activate the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix bloodline essence in his body, he would be confident that he could inflict a heavy loss on even a late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor. As for a peak-level Martial Emperor, even if he completely activated the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix bloodline essence, Yang Qi was not sure that he could injure a cultivator of that level.
After all, even an ordinary first-level peak Martial Emperor practitioner is much stronger than an ordinary late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor practitioner. It can even be said that the gap between the two is like a chasm.
However, Yang Qi did not believe that the figure in front of him had reached the peak level of the Martial Emperor. If he was a powerful being at that level, then there was no need for him to fight with him. He could just admit defeat, because he could not pose any threat to a cultivator at the peak level of the Martial Emperor!
