Chapter 140: Chapter 138: Solo Fight Against Two Powerhouses

As Xiao Ye was still in a daze, the Old Madman’s hand had already reached into the bag and pulled out eight pieces of treasure that sparkled with resplendent light, tossing them towards the distance.

Swoosh!

The scene instantly boiled over. Over a thousand Innate Martial Artists crowded the place, their eyes burning with desire as they stared at the treasures, but no one dared to step over that chasm.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Black Heart Elder and Ding Hao burst forth, chasing the treasures and grabbing them in their hands.

"Just now, the old madman spoke some words; see if there’s a chance to ask for clarity later. For now, let’s focus on grabbing the treasure," Xiao Ye suppressed the doubts in his heart, stepped across the chasm, and chased after one of the treasures.

"What! That kid actually crossed the chasm, is he seeking death?!" Seeing Xiao Ye charging out, those Innate Martial Artists were momentarily stunned.

To defy Ding Hao’s orders, Xiao Ye was incredibly bold.

"Does this guy really think that after defeating us, he’s grown arrogant enough to think he can compete with a Young Talent like Ding Hao?" The Martial Artists previously defeated by Xiao Ye took pleasure in his potential misfortune.

They’d love for Ding Hao to smack Xiao Ye to death with a slap; that way, they’d have one less strong competitor.

Swoosh!

Xiao Ye moved like lightning, instantly grabbing a piece of treasure and then looking down at it.

What Xiao Ye held in his hand was a golden long spear, radiating an intimidating fluctuation, belonging to the category of Innate Weapons.

Xiao Ye was somewhat disappointed; Innate Weapons could not help enhance his strength, especially since it was a long spear.

Just as Xiao Ye was about to chase after the remaining treasures, a cold, sinister gaze locked onto him, filled with heaven-shaking murderous intent.

Xiao Ye turned his head and saw Ding Hao standing a hundred paces away from him. His ink-black hair danced wildly, and his handsome face was full of indifference, his eyes filled with penetrating power.

"You didn’t hear what I said?" Ding Hao spoke coldly, and the temperature around the field dropped rapidly.

"I heard." Xiao Ye nodded, his tone filled with mockery, "But why should I listen to you when I act?"

Facing Ding Hao’s gaze, Xiao Ye stepped forward, his voice resonating through heaven, "Who do you think you are!"

Xiao Ye’s words left the numerous Innate Martial Artists dumbfounded; this man was incredibly audacious, daring to question Ding Hao, ranked fortieth on the Black Dragon Country’s Hidden Dragon List, to his face.

Boom!

As soon as Xiao Ye’s voice fell, it was as if a Supreme Ferocious Beast had awakened, and a terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from Ding Hao, tearing the ground beneath him inch by inch.

"It seems I, Ding Hao, have been too kind, letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry think they can prance around in front of me!"

Innate True Qi burst forth from Ding Hao’s body, transforming into a colossal palm that covered the heavens, pressing down towards Xiao Ye.

With Ding Hao’s cultivation at the Early Stage of the Innate Realm Ninth Layer, his Immense True Qi was overwhelmingly mighty. Even this simple act of Manifesting True Qi into a form had an invincible sweeping force.

"Heavens, is this Ding Hao’s strength? Too strong!" Many Martial Artists were shocked and quickly moved out of the range of Ding Hao’s attack, fearing being implicated.

"Ding Hao, I’ll let you know who’s really the Tom, Dick, and Harry!" Xiao Ye stomped his foot, and his figure soared into the sky, actively charging towards the immense palm pressing down.

"Break for me!"

Xiao Ye shouted loudly, with a demonic glow shining on the surface of his body. The strength of his physical body erupted like a volcano, all converging on his right fist, smashing towards the giant palm.

Boom rumble!

It was like thousands of thunderbolts rolling over the heavens, the sound shattering, a powerful shockwave radiated outwards in rings, and weaker Martial Artists were blown away.

When the dust settled, Xiao Ye’s figure emerged in the sky, slowly descending and filled with a peerless demeanor.

Seeing this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and they couldn’t help but cry out.

Young Talent!

Xiao Ye was definitely a Young Talent worthy of being listed on the Black Dragon Country’s Hidden Dragon List!

Looking across the entire Black Dragon Country, the Young Talents that could be listed on the Hidden Dragon List totaled only one hundred and eight, each one standing at the peak of their generation, extremely rare.

To think that one could witness a duel between two Young Talents in a place like Ancient Star City, the Martial Artists’ faces were filled with excitement.

The outcome of this duel between Young Talents would be passed down by word of mouth from them.

Ding Hao’s face changed slightly; Xiao Ye had actually broken his attack with a single punch, which was completely unexpected.

"Ding Hao, is that all the strength you have?" Xiao Ye landed on the ground and looked at Ding Hao with mockery.

Ding Hao’s eyes shot out two cold lights, like two long knives, capable of piercing through the void.

"Hmph, if you want to see my strength, then I can satisfy you, but you’ll have to pay the price with your life!" Ding Hao took a step forward.

Boom!

"Star-picking Hand!"

Ding Hao said coldly, a terrifying might filled the void, his hands shining with intense light, as if capable of plucking stars and capturing the moon, reaching towards Xiao Ye.

Ding Hao came from the powerful Star-picking Sect within Black Dragon Country, and this Star-picking Hand combat technique was proprietary to Star-picking Sect.

"Fifth Grade Combat Technique, huh?"

Xiao Ye slightly narrowed his eyes. The power of this set of combat techniques seemed to be just of an average level within the Fifth Grade, far from comparable to the Sun and Moon Seal Technique.

"With just this level of strength, you still want to kill me!"

Xiao Ye’s eyes blazed, his black hair whipped wildly, and his surging blood qi roared like an ocean, forming a colossal pillar of light that shot straight to the Nine Heavens.

At this moment, the winds and clouds changed color, ghosts cried, and gods were startled. Everyone’s gaze was frozen on the young man standing beneath the Star-picking Hand, filled with deep shock.

"Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!"

Xiao Ye murmured in his heart, and suddenly the ocean-like blood qi intertwined above him, forming three giant cauldrons suspended overhead, emanating an aura capable of suppressing All Heavens.

With a punch from Xiao Ye, it was as if Jiao Long was roaring. Ding Hao was instantly blasted away, the intense light in his hands shattered, and blood spewed wildly.

The area fell into a dead silence. People’s mouths hung open in horror as they looked at the figure that seemed like a God Demon.

One move!

With just one move, Ding Hao, who was ranked 40th on the Hidden Dragon List, was defeated. What terrifying strength was needed to accomplish this!

"Ding Hao, is this the extent of your strength? You’ve really disappointed me," Xiao Ye said coldly.

Ding Hao gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, his heart filled with profound shock.

"Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!"

"This guy actually cultivated the Empress Technique, and to such a degree, damn it, when did such a freak appear in Black Dragon Country!" Xiao Ye’s strength was like an insurmountable Mount Wan Zhong to him.

"Black Heart Old Ghost, this guy is too strong, let’s join forces! Otherwise, the treasure will all be snatched away by him!" Ding Hao shouted loudly.

As Ding Hao was entangled by Xiao Ye, the Black Heart Elder, who was happily collecting treasures, froze in place, his expression incredulous.

When he heard Ding Hao’s words, he nodded solemnly, his stooped figure bursting forth with vast Innate True Qi that covered the entire sky.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Ding Hao and Black Heart Old Ghost both launched their attacks on Xiao Ye.

"Hmph, today I will let you witness what absolute strength really is!" Xiao Ye looked up to the sky and howled, encouraging the Fighting Fist Technique like a Demon God.

Xiao Ye fully unleashed his Physical Body Power, the terrifying might stirred the Nine-layered Heaven, the void constantly trembled, and the ground within two miles around Xiao Ye cracked open with huge fissures.

Carrying a vast wave of energy, Xiao Ye activated the Fighting Fist Technique and collided with the two attackers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle fluctuations of the three fighters shook the heavens and the earth, causing the ground to quake, and the forest in the distance completely collapsed.

Many Martial Artists’ faces were full of shock. Fighting alone against two Early Stage Innate Realm Ninth Layer powerhouses, what a formidable fighter he was!

However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.

In just a few breaths, Ding Hao was blasted away, blood spraying wildly as he flew thousands of meters and couldn’t get up for a long time.

The only remaining Black Heart Elder was likewise punched by Xiao Ye, fiercely crashing into the ground, creating a deep pit and deeply buried in the rubble.

The crowd’s hearts pounded wildly. Ding Hao and the Black Heart Elder had teamed up, but they couldn’t withstand a few moves from Xiao Ye. Just how terrifying was Xiao Ye’s strength?

"Could this guy be one of the top ten monsters on the Hidden Dragon List!"

"I think it’s very possible. He wears a mask precisely to keep his identity hidden!"

Many Martial Artists began whispering among themselves, while Meng Fei and Xu Yan were completely stunned. They could never have imagined that Xiao Ye, who once sat and drank with them, was so powerful!

Xiao Ye swept a cold gaze over the crowd and then took steps towards Old Madman.

"Hehe... Even the Supreme Empress can play tricks on the world, a swindler’s treasure, I’ve been wanting to throw it away, to cut off the past." At this moment, the Old Madman was still muttering, and Xiao Ye heard it more clearly.

While mumbling, the Old Madman continued to throw treasures outside.

"Let’s see if there are any treasures useful to me first." Naturally, Xiao Ye would not miss such a rare opportunity and quickly picked up the treasures thrown out by the Old Madman.

Because of Xiao Ye’s invincible aura, no one in the area dared to cross the ravine and could only watch helplessly.

The Old Madman’s huge bag seemed bottomless as treasures were thrown out continuously, and Xiao Ye picked them up, finding that most were Innate Weapons, as well as Innate Techniques and combat techniques.

Xiao Ye already had Innate Weapons, had cultivated the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, and naturally did not care for other Innate Techniques. As for combat techniques, those below the Fifth Grade did not catch his eye.

Xiao Ye piled the treasures on the ground and said to Xu Yan, "Xu Yan, come and choose. You can take anything you like."

What!

Xu Yan was stunned upon hearing this. He could just pick any of the numerous treasures?

"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Yan walked over with an excited face.

"Damn, this guy is bloody lucky!" Watching this scene, everyone was nearly driven crazy by jealousy.

"Ah, if only you knew the masked powerhouse, you’d have to accept your fate, and maybe we could pick up something left over later," someone sighed.

Meng Fei in the back of the crowd almost suffocated from frustration. He could have been in the same position as Xu Yan!

"Hehe, the cultivator of the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, huh? I have a treasure here that will definitely suit you." Just then, the confusion in Old Madman’s eyes suddenly dissipated, his look sharp and clear.

The Old Madman actually regained his sanity!
