Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 319 The villain succeeds
"What are you doing here!"

The ancient demon's expression was as solemn as iron, and his fighting spirit quietly flowed around him, transforming into a faint golden halo visible to the naked eye.

"Brothers, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ling Quan's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile, and he lightly licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue: "After a long separation, is this your way of treating guests?"

Gu Qingyang frowned deeply and said coldly, "You have harmed your own kind and sided with the son of the Dragon and Phoenix. There is no longer any affection between us!"

Upon hearing this, Lingquan's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister glint in his eyes: "In that case, I have no choice but to report your whereabouts to His Majesty as they are."

"You can't even think of succeeding!"

Gu Yao roared, his entire body's power surging into the broken spear in his hand like a tidal wave.

"Boom——!"

The gun instantly erupted with a dazzling holy light, and the power of a semi-saint swept out with a thunderous roar, piercing straight towards Ling Quan's face!

"Gu Yao, I call you 'Big Brother,' and you really think you're something special?"

Ling Quan snorted coldly, stretched out his palm, and his fighting spirit suddenly erupted. The pitch-black energy swirled around his palm, and he neither dodged nor avoided, but instead took the full force of the ancient demon's attack!
"what?!"

The ancient demon's pupils suddenly contracted.

His spear thrust was imbued with most of his remaining holy power. Even if it couldn't severely injure the opponent, it should at least have forced him back. Yet, the immense force emanating from the opponent's palm was like a towering mountain, leaving him completely unmoved!

"You were first severely injured by Xiao Yan at the wedding ceremony, and later fought to the death with a magical beast to protect Gu Xun'er. You were already covered in wounds and exhausted. How much strength do you have left now?"

Ling Quan grinned maliciously and suddenly exerted force in his palm. With a crisp "crack", he crushed the broken spear in the ancient demon's hand into a shower of iron filings!

Before the ancient demon could react, Ling Quan swayed again, his fist carrying violent, dark energy, aimed directly at the ancient demon's vital area in the waist and abdomen!

"Wow--!"

The immense force crashed down, and the ancient demon was struck as if by a heavy blow. It coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward, leaving a bloody arc in the air.

"Ancient demon!"

Gu Qingyang was horrified and immediately leaped forward, catching the falling Gu Yao with both hands.

But the overwhelming force still pushed the two of them backward, leaving two long trenches in the ground and sending stones flying everywhere.

"I am no longer the Lingquan you used to order around!"

Ling Quan laughed maniacally, and the overwhelming aura of a Nine-Turn Dou Zun swept out like a tsunami. What shocked the three of them even more was the bloodline aura surrounding him, which was none other than the pressure of a Ninth-Rank Dou Di bloodline!

Xiao Xun'er's face was ashen, and she scolded in a delicate voice, "Ninth-grade bloodline! Just how many of your own kind have you slaughtered, how many of your clansmen's bloodline power have you absorbed, you heartless beast!"

"Young Miss... no, Gu Xun'er."

Lingquan's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Are you jealous? Jealous that I can regain my bloodline power, even surpassing it before!"

And you, you've been reduced to a complete waste, discarded like trash by the ancient clan. To squeeze out the last bit of value from you, you'll be given to Lei Dong to be his plaything in bed!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er felt as if struck by lightning, and a piercing pain shot through her heart.

"Hahaha... I told you so!"

Lingquan laughed even more maniacally, his face flushed with a sickly redness: "I am lucky to have received the Blood Skull Gu from His Majesty, which allowed me to be reborn and transformed..."

You also want this power, you want to break free from a fate of being manipulated by others, right?
Unfortunately, you don't have that good fortune!

"Even if you gave me this evil thing for free, I wouldn't bother using it!"

Xiao Xun'er gritted her teeth: "Only a heartless and inhuman person like you would do such a despicable thing as harming your own kind and sucking their blood!" Ling Quan's voice was low and eerie: "Then what about Gu Yuan, who used you as a bargaining chip to sell to the Lei Clan... your own father?"

Xiao Xun'er's breath hitched, her body turned ice-cold, and her expression contorted with pain.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er like this, Ling Quan's expression of satisfaction grew even stronger.

"Xun'er, don't listen to him!"

Gu Yao, clutching his blood-soaked chest, roared despite his injuries, "Get out!"

This is not a place for you!

"Ancient Demon, you still don't understand the situation!"

Ling Quan's expression was icy cold, his gaze sweeping over the ancient demon like a sharp blade: "Do you think you can still boss me around like before?"

Then, his hand clenched suddenly!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

Dark energy gathered wildly in his palm, condensing into a constantly rotating ball of energy that tore apart the surrounding air, emitting a piercing buzz.

"not good!"

Gu Qingyang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly roared, "Ancient Demon, get out of the way!"

Gu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and a strong premonition of death instantly enveloped his entire body, but his injuries were too severe, and his movements were already sluggish.

In the blink of an eye, before he could even make any dodging move, the pitch-black energy in Lingquan's hand had already condensed into a form!
"Die!"

Ling Quan laughed menacingly, and with a sudden push of his arm, the pitch-black energy ball instantly transformed into a thick beam of destructive light, which shot towards the ancient demon!
"Pfft-!"

A piercing sound rang out as a jet-black beam of destructive light pierced the heart of the ancient demon!
His eyes instantly went blank, and the color drained from his face at a visible speed. The next second, violent destructive energy raged through his body!
"Boom——!"

The ancient demon's body was blasted into a cloud of blood mist, and even its soul was crushed into dust under the terrifying energy impact!
"Ancient demon!"

"Brother Gu Yao!"

Xiao Xun'er and Gu Qingyang let out heart-wrenching screams, utterly devastated.

"Next, it's your turn."

Lingquan's voice was like that of a demon from hell, cold and cruel.

"Xun'er, run!"

A look of despair flashed in Gu Qingyang's eyes. He shoved Xiao Xun'er aside and unleashed his last bit of holy power, rushing towards Lingquan like a moth drawn to a flame.

"The mantis is using his arms as a chariot, and he is overestimating his own abilities!"

Ling Quan's expression was icy, and in a flash, he became entangled in a fight with Gu Qingyang.

"Boom--!"

The pitch-black battle aura and the dazzling holy light collided in the cave, unleashing a deafening roar. Rock fragments fell in a flurry, and the entire cave shook violently.

Gu Qingyang gritted his teeth, using the last bit of strength to press Lingquan firmly against the mountain wall, his arms bulging with veins: "Xun'er, run! Don't look back!"

Xiao Xun'er was heartbroken, her mind filled with images of the ancient demon's tragic death, and she was completely unable to recover. Her steps felt as heavy as lead.

"But……"

"Let's go!" Gu Qingyang roared. "If we don't leave, we'll all die here!"
