With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

the other side.

The boundary between the fire pole region and the water pole region.

Clad in divine armor, Ma Rulong swung his fists, which shattered the formation that had trapped him with overwhelming force, like meteors piercing the sky.

His eyes blazed with furious fire, and he shot forward, punching the man controlling the array to pieces!

The woman holding the divine artifact, the Beast Summoning Flute, turned pale instantly and turned to flee.

Ma Rulong snorted coldly and instantly chased after her. He opened his fist, grabbed the woman's neck with his five fingers, and slammed her body hard onto the ground!

"boom!"

A huge crater was smashed into the ground.

The woman's body lay in the deep pit like a lump of mud.

Ma Rulong picked up the beast-summoning flute that had fallen to the ground, then immediately turned around, raised his hand, and grabbed back the gilded cloud-patterned banner.

As the banner was waved, thick clouds and mist billowed out, enveloping the three-eyed fire apes.

Ma Rulong charged into the clouds, unleashing the devastating power of the Starfall Divine Fist, blasting the ferocious three-eyed fire apes into pieces!

A moment later, the remaining three-eyed fire apes, intimidated by Ma Rulong's power and having lost the control of their beast tamers, all ran wildly in different directions.

Ma Rulong did not pursue.

His expression was solemn as he looked at the team members he had selected.

Of the ten people, only four remain, and all of them are seriously injured!

Ma Rulong's face was extremely ugly.

This means that from now on, no one can help him, and he will have to chase after Ma Shang alone!

"Xiaoxiao" immediately flew to Ma Rulong's side.

She had lost an arm, and her abdomen had been ripped open by the claws of a demonic beast; she looked utterly wretched.

"Young Master Rulong... I'm sorry, we..."

"It's alright." Ma Rulong took a deep breath and said, "It's not your fault. I was too eager to catch up with Ma Shang, which made me less vigilant and led me into their ambush."

"I'll walk the rest of the way myself. You all should leave the Heavenly Ranking Space."

"Don't worry, I always keep my word. Even if we don't beat Marshon in the end, I will still deliver on my promise of payment!"

Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "Young Master Ru Long, what I care about isn't the reward... Besides, I can still persevere, and I want to continue with you!"

Ma Rulong shook his head and said, "There's no need to force yourself. Although you won't truly die in the Heavenly Ranking Space, damage to your soul's essence is still a very serious injury."

At this moment, a man said, "Young Master Rulong, Sword Master... something terrible might happen to him. Qin Cheng has taken him away... I suspect Qin Cheng wants to search his soul to find out his true identity, and then use ruthless methods against his original body in the Heavenly Realm, as well as his relatives and friends!"

"After all, Jian Ba ​​offended Qin Xiong and disgraced the second branch of the Qin family."

Upon hearing this, Ma Rulong frowned immediately. He raised his hand and grabbed the woman lying in the deep pit, pulling her towards him with his strength.

"explain!"

"What is Qin Cheng going to do to Qin Yi?!"

Ma Rulong roared angrily.

He kept the woman with the intention of interrogating her to see if he could find out if Ma Shang had left any ambushes ahead.

But now, hearing about Jian Ba's situation, he felt very nervous.

The dying woman said, "Qin Xiong instructed us... to find out Jian Ba's true identity... and then make Jian Ba ​​pay a heavy price for provoking them..."

Ma Rulong looked at Xiaoxiao and the others: "You don't need to follow me forward, but don't leave the Heavenly Ranking Space yet. Search this area and see if you can find Sword Master. I believe he won't be defeated so easily!"

Xiaoxiao nodded immediately and said solemnly, "Okay! Leave this to us, but you must be very careful when you go after Ma Shang and the others alone!"

Next, Xiaoxiao immediately took the injured people, said goodbye to Ma Rulong, and went to find Qin Yi.

Ma Rulong continued to interrogate the woman lying on the ground, but the woman was unaware of Ma Shang's subsequent plans.

After smashing the woman to pieces with a single palm strike, he immediately flew forward and entered the Water Extreme Zone!

After calming down a bit, Ma Rulong muttered to himself, "Even if the Qin family finds out about Brother Jianba's true identity, it won't really be a big problem."

"He stays on the territory of the Qin family's main branch, and is a prodigy highly valued by the Qin family's main branch."

"Although the main branch of the Qin family has declined, it is impossible for the members of the second branch of the Qin family to casually go to the territory of the Fire Star Region to kill people."

"Besides, this is just a minor conflict among young people."

"No matter how much the Qin brothers are valued by the higher-ups of the second branch of the Qin family, the higher-ups of the second branch of the Qin family would not go to such lengths to attack the main branch of the Qin family over such a trivial matter."

Relieved, Ma Rulong glanced at the waves crashing ahead, sighed, and said, "I never imagined that I'd have to fight alone so soon after arriving in the Water Extreme Zone."

……

More than an hour later.

Qin Yi finally entered the water zone.

Qin Yi gazed at the boundless sea, his spiritual energy spreading out. His task now was to avoid the ghostly jellyfish as much as possible and reunite with Ma Rulong as soon as possible.

With his powerful and keen senses, Qin Yi rode the waves at great speed, avoiding one ghostly jellyfish after another that appeared nearby.

Half an hour later.

A strange light suddenly flashed in Qin Yi's eyes.

There are people on an island ahead!

With a thought, Qin Yi activated the Cleansing God Technique, concealing his aura, and flew towards the island.

On the island.

A man and a woman, both prodigies on the Heavenly Ranking who followed Ma Shang, sat on an open ground.

Both of them were injured.

"That Ma Rulong is really powerful... Qin Jiyang led us to intercept him, but he beat two of us to a pulp and even seriously injured the two of us," the man said.

The woman looked terrified and said, "Luckily we dodged quickly, otherwise we would have been crushed by Ma Rulong's fist. That would have caused our bodies a lot of pain. After all, damage to the essence of the soul is no joke."

Then, the man took out a pill, put it in his mouth, and said, "Let's heal our wounds first."

"Mm." The woman nodded and took out the pill to swallow as well.

In the Heavenly Ranking Space, if you are seriously injured, your soul will also be wounded after you leave.

Therefore, healing at this time is also to make the main body feel less uncomfortable after exiting the Heavenly Ranking Space.

Just as the two were circulating their internal energy to refine the elixir...

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air and came to the man's back!

It was Qin Yi!

In order to finish the battle quickly, he directly activated his teleportation ability!

Since both of them were healing, they didn't notice him using the Cleansing God Technique and wouldn't know how he appeared!

"Whoosh!"

With a single sword strike, Qin Yi shattered the man's body!

The woman immediately opened her eyes and looked at Qin Yi. Her face showed shock. She reacted very quickly, slamming her palms on the ground. Her body immediately sprang up and then flew backward, a long sword appearing in her hand.

From becoming alert to retreating and then drawing his weapon, the entire sequence was executed flawlessly, demonstrating a wealth of combat experience.

But... it didn't work.

Her strength was about the same as Qin Cheng's, not to mention she was injured and in a hurry...

When Qin Yi's heavy sword, as thick as a door panel, swept towards her, she screamed in agony as her body was sent flying.

"Bang!"

The woman's body crashed to the ground.

Qin Yi rushed over and stomped on the woman's chest!

"what!"

The woman screamed in agony, yelling, "You shameless bastard!"

Qin Yi sneered, thinking the woman was implying he had attacked her, but he didn't care.

The laws of the cultivation world have never been about righteousness and honor, but rather about the victor taking all!

But Qin Yi immediately realized that he had misunderstood.

The woman lying on the ground, being trampled on, glared at him and shouted, "Move your foot away a little!"

Qin Yi: "..."

He then realized that he had stepped on the wrong spot too precisely.

"It's just hard ribs, I'd rather not step on them!" Qin Yi snorted, but he didn't move his foot away.

The woman felt that the humiliation outweighed the pain, and was about to speak again to angrily rebuke Qin Yi.

But Qin Yi's large, black heavy sword was instantly pressed against the woman's lips.

The woman quickly shut her mouth and used her teeth to block Qin Yi's invading sword!

Qin Yi coldly shouted, "I don't have time to waste with you. Tell me, where are Ma Rulong and Ma Shang?!"

The woman continued to clench her teeth, glaring at Qin Yi with a face full of resentment.

Qin Yi wasn't going to tolerate her. He used the hard tip of his sword to pry open the woman's mouth and broke all her teeth!

"If you don't tell me now, I won't be so polite!"

Qin Yi's sword tip plunged deeper into the woman's mouth.

The woman finally panicked. If she didn't speak now, her throat would be pierced. She hurriedly said, "Wait! I'll talk..."
