Chapter 41: Fleeting Glimpse of Light

  "Since you knew I was coming, why didn't you leave?" Yang asked with a glint in his eye.

  "Leave? Why should I leave? Ha ha, how ridiculous! Why would I leave? Do you think you're that lunatic?"

  Feng Qingyun paused for a moment, then continued: "That madman is just like you, indulging in frenzied slaughter. He was born to kill and everyone who encounters him ends up dead. You're the same, but you haven't reached his level of coldness and madness yet, so you still count as a normal person."

  Yang Yi's expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said calmly, "You're talking about Bai Yi?"

  In Yang Yi's mind, the information transmitted from the four-way mirror showed that Bai Yi had been far ahead from the start and had always ranked first. However, his score under his name was growing almost every moment, indicating that he did not stop killing like other top 100 players, but continued to kill non-stop.

  Bai Yi's strength had always made Yang feel apprehensive, and he had also heard that Bai Yi was just like him, crazily plundering the essence of others to cultivate.

  Fú Piāo Yǐng nodded and said, "Not bad, it's that madman. You and that madman are similar, both engaging in frenzied slaughter, then refining the essence of blood to enhance your strength. However, this method can quickly boost your power, but it will also cause instability in your foundation. Even if you're lucky enough to break through the Heavenly Bridge, achieve the Fifth Stage of Blood Condensation, and condense a Void Dan, it's simply impossible to reach the Seventh Stage of Blood Condensation. Your bloodline is too impure, and just this one hurdle of the Void Dan will be insurmountable. Let alone the strongest realm of Transformation, which is even more difficult to attain."

  Quickly seizing and plundering, refining and transforming the essence of blood. This cultivation method is incredibly fast, but it also has many hidden dangers, causing instability in one's foundation and burying potential problems for future advancement. Such sayings are not just limited to Floating Shadow, Yang Yi has heard many similar warnings, yet he doesn't take them seriously at all.

  "A cultivator's life is but a fleeting moment, yet in this world, one's fate is not in their own hands. Perhaps at this moment you are still alive and well, but the next moment you may die abroad, with your corpse nowhere to be found. Therefore, if a cultivator wants to survive, they must spare no effort, think of every possible means, and rapidly increase their strength. As the saying goes: 'When the mountain is exhausted, water flows again; when the road is uncertain, another village appears.' When the time comes, one will naturally find the way. Cultivation only requires grasping the present, grasping everything in the present, and sparing no effort to increase power - this is the correct path of cultivation."

  Yang Yi sneered and spoke fluently, he naturally wouldn't be shaken by Fu Xiao Yu's words.

  A glint of sharpness flashed in the eyes of Floating Shadow, and a faint smile seemed to appear at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Your determination is indeed resolute, no wonder you've been able to cultivate to this point. Since that's the case, if you want to come and kill me, it's unavoidable; all I can do is not let you succeed!"

  Feng Yu's entire body exuded a powerful aura, wave after wave of terrifying energy spreading out into the void, forming a oppressive atmosphere.

  Yang's face suddenly changed color, his figure remained motionless, but in his heart a stormy sea was stirred up.

  "Six drops of essence blood, you've actually condensed six drops of essence blood!" Yang Yi's eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a cold tone.

  To know that in the Blood Condensation Fourfold, as long as five drops of essence blood are condensed, it is absolutely possible to break into the top 100. With many means, it is even possible to break into the top 30. But if six drops of essence blood can be condensed, this is equivalent to being terrifyingly powerful. The true strength of this Floating Shadow, I'm afraid there will be no problem entering the top ten in the tenth layer. Every existence that can condense the sixth drop of essence blood is incredibly terrifying.

  "Haha, you don't know that I've been cultivating for eighty-nine years, a full eighty-nine years. The road has been bumpy, but I've never refined even a drop of essence blood. So, breaking through to the fifth stage of Congealed Blood will be much simpler for me than for you. After this Dragon Transformation Great Competition ends and I enter the Dragon Transformation Palace, where there are countless precious treasures, I'm afraid it won't take long for me to break through and dominate a region. Therefore, no matter who tries to stop me, they'll have to die!"

  Her entire body exuded a cold and sinister aura, all the initial gentleness was gone, she had transformed into a ferocious female demon.

  Yang Yi didn't feel surprised at all. A being that could rank thirty-fifth, with hands stained with who-knew-how-much fresh blood, was hardly a good person.

  "Hmph, six drops of essence blood, I didn't expect your power to be so strong. However, if I extract your essence blood, I can use it to condense the sixth drop of essence blood and unleash a five-elemental barrage!"

  Yang Yi swiftly took down the Moonfall Bow from his back, drew the bow and shot five arrows in a row. The five long arrows had already been shot out, their power having reached the level of six drops of essence blood. Even Floating Shadow's expression changed slightly.

  "The moon has set? You think this bow can kill me? What a joke, fleeting as a flash of light!"

  Feng Piaoying immediately launched the martial art of Floating Light Flash, a high-level martial art. Yang Yi only saw a flash of light and shadow, and then lost sight of Feng Piaoying's figure.

  This fleeting light and shadow is even more wonderful than the charm of Liu Yun's brother and sister, and has infinitely approached the semi-immortal grade martial arts.

  The true Xianpin Wujiquan is extremely rare, even among the top transformation masters, because Xianpin Wujiquan is a martial art used by immortals and must be passed down from the immortal realm, making it incredibly scarce.

  However, there are masters of the Tongtian realm who have gained insight into the boundaries and created martial techniques with great magical power, containing a hint of the secrets of the Xian Dao. This is a semi-Xian grade martial technique. Although it is far inferior to a Xian-grade martial technique, in this world of cultivators, it is already quite terrifying.

  And this fleeting light, its power unfolded, has already approached the semi-immortal grade of martial skills, showing how terrifying it is.

  But Yang Yi's expression didn't change, his hand suddenly dripped with ten drops of fresh blood, which quickly burned in the void.

  "Binding Spell!"

  Ten drops of fresh blood ignited, and its power was naturally terrifying. Originally, it was just a light shadow that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, but after this binding technique was applied, the speed of the floating shadow clearly slowed down. Although it was only for a short period of time, it was already enough.

  "Whoosh"

  Yang's entire body burst forth with a green glow as he shouted: "Nine Palace Illusory Shadow!"

  The four shadows simultaneously raised their hands at the same time, exactly alike and indistinguishable from one another, all of them charging towards Fei Lian.

  "Binding technique? You actually know the binding technique of the Hundred Schools? But you think this can trap me? What a joke, Seven-Colored Floating Light Flash, Transform!"

  The fleeting figure's silhouette suddenly became a kaleidoscope of colors, it was really beautiful.

  However, Yang Yi's expression changed, he felt that the floating shadow's body blood suddenly shook violently, its huge six drops of essence and blood power burst out, directly breaking free from the binding technique's control, his whole person turned into a light shadow and disappeared to who-knows-where.

  "Yang Yi, let you see, the power of six drops of essence blood is far beyond your reach!"

  The entire figure of the floating shadow was really indistinguishable, and its speed was as fast as a rainbow. All that could be heard was a "bang" sound, and a terrifying force approached Yang Yi's body. Yang Yi's mind was quick-witted, and he immediately raised his fist to block it upwards.

  Bang

  A massive force surged forward, Yang Yi's arm almost couldn't withstand it, and was struck off balance, his blood rushing wildly as his body stumbled backward several steps.

  The power of six drops of essence is indeed strong. If this punch had landed on Yang Yi's body, Yang Yi would probably be dead or seriously injured.

  "Hmph, your binding technique is quite good, very ingenious. Hand over the binding technique and perhaps I might spare you!" Floating Shadow also revealed her figure, saying lightly.

  Yang Yi's expression was stunned, a flash of sharpness in his eyes, and then a faintly mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said in a low voice: "Floating Shadow, do you know how so many people died at my hands?"

  A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, staring tightly at Yang Yi.
