Chapter 272: Easily Defeated

"No need, let me handle it," Xiao Ming said as he ran his right hand through Xiao Yi Xian's silky hair. His voice was calm and confident. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

The Gu Clan had many means, and if Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan were careless, they might get hurt.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes softened as she looked at him, reluctantly nodding in agreement.

"Be careful."

She also understood that Xiao Ming's strength surpassed hers by a considerable margin, so she didn't insist further.

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's decision, Zi Yan pursed her lips and could only accept it.

Medusa also furrowed her brow, expressing her concern.

Xiao Ming waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that he would handle the situation.

Observing Xiao Ming deftly handling the beautiful women around him, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel envious of his good fortune. After a brief moment, he inquired, "Are you ready?"

"Of course, but if you come to me without reason and ask for a fight, shouldn't you offer something in return?" Even if he defeated Gu Qingyang, Xiao Ming would not have much to gain, and he couldn't forcefully take anything from the other party. Wasting his strength for nothing would not be worth it.

"Oh? That was my oversight. Since Brother Xiao Ming is an Alchemist, I happened to acquire this item a few days ago. I can use it as compensation." Gu Qingyang said, smiling. He pondered for a moment before taking out a jade box.

Inside the box lay a blood-red elliptical fruit, exuding a strong vitality with its blood-like aura.

"A Blood Essence Demon Fruit?!" Xiao Ming's eyes widened in recognition of the fruit.

The Blood Essence Demon Fruit was an extremely rare medicinal ingredient, a demonic fruit that absorbs essence blood. This fruit hid underground and absorbed the life force within essence blood before it eventually transformed into the shape of a fruit.

The Blood Essence Demon Fruit was a main ingredient for refining the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, and its value was comparable to that of an intermediate seventh-tier pill.

To refine the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, three main ingredients were needed: the Blood Essence Demon Fruit, the Ten Thousand Year Old Green Spiritual Vine, and the Snow Bone Ginseng.

Xiao Ming had been searching for the ingredients in the Imperial City, but he hadn't found all the auxiliary materials for the pill, let alone the main ingredients.

He planned to try his luck in Central Plains, but unexpectedly, Gu Qingyang offered it to him.

Beside him, Zi Yan's eyes lit up upon seeing the Blood Essence Demon Fruit.

"Not bad, that's right, it's exactly the Blood Essence Demon Fruit. I wonder if Brother Xiao Ming is satisfied? As long as you defeat me, I will hand this item over to you with both hands."

Seeing this result, Gu Qingyang's pupils contracted fiercely and his mouth twitched.

'What a strong body!' With his eyesight, he naturally saw that Xiao Ming did not use any Dou Techniques, yet was able to break his God Seal Technique.

After shattering Gu Qingyang's attack with a palm, Xiao Ming did not give him much time to catch his breath. He stepped forward and appeared in front of him once again, aiming his right hand at his chest this time.

To others, Xiao Ming's movements seemed slow, but in Gu Qingyang's eyes, they were incredibly swift and difficult to resist.

However, Gu Qingyang was a talented heir of the Gu Clan who had received the best training on the continent since childhood, and his mental strength was extraordinary.

A clear space fluctuation surged on the soles of his feet, and the next moment, he strangely retreated more than three meters backward to avoid Xiao Ming's attack.

'A Dou Technique of movement involving space, at least a High Di Class. Worthy of being an Ancient Clan.' Xiao Ming thought calmly

He wasn't surprised that he couldn't defeat Gu Qingyang with two palm strikes. It would be really surprising if Gu Qingyang was defeated by him so easily. In that case, the Gu Clan's reputation would be worthless.

'However, it ends here.' Xiao Ming thought as he disappeared from his original position without any apparent movement, leaving only a faint phantom that slowly dissipated.

That was an afterimage produced by speed reaching a certain level.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyang did not dare to be careless. His hand seals changed like lightning, and then two brilliant energy hand seals erupted from his hands, heavily attacking in front of him.

"Open Mountain Seal!"

"Sea Flipping Seal!"

As soon as the two brilliant energy hand seals appeared, they quickly merged and converged together.

This combination of two seals was not simply adding one plus one equals two. Even a normal one-star Dou Ancestor would only end up defeated and even lose their life against this move.

But unfortunately for Gu Qingyang, his opponent was Xiao Ming.

With a crystal-clear hand slightly shining, Xiao Ming shattered the attack like a withered tree and falling leaves.

Then, he pressed his hand directly onto Gu Qingyang's chest at lightning speed.

Boom!

Suddenly, Gu Qingyang's body was like a cannonball, heavily crashing onto the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust!
