Ten days passed by quickly.

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie was still within the domain of the Black Luo Kingdom, but he was already very far from Black Tortoise City. Even if the three major families sent strong cultivators to hunt him down, they might not be able to find him in the short term.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of the pursuit from the three families. If they indeed sent experts to chase him, he wouldn't mind devouring more Blood Souls.

It was now late at night, and the night sky enveloped the entire land. A few sparse stars in the sky added a faint glow to the world.

Wang Ruoxie randomly chose a secluded place, set up a campfire, and then sat cross-legged on the ground.

After traveling for ten days straight, he couldn't help feeling a bit fatigued, so he planned to rest for the night and continue his journey the next day.

Wang Ruoxie began to circulate the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture, starting his cultivation beside the campfire.

For him, there was no true rest. He had to persistently cultivate and continuously elevate his cultivation power.

Even though his cultivation power was already considered among the top in the entire Eastern Domain, he still didn't have the luxury of resting.

His goal was to restore his cultivation from his past life in the shortest possible time, or even break through to higher levels, and subsequently find answers to the questions in his mind.

In the thirty-two chakras within Wang Ruoxie's body, the powerful True Essence surged like crashing waves, roaring through his meridians.

At that moment, a faint whistling sound suddenly came from the space around him. Although it was extremely subtle, Wang Ruoxie immediately noticed it.

Wang Ruoxie abruptly opened his eyes and gazed into the depths of the night ahead of him.

Soon, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

It was a tall and slender youth dressed in a black long robe.

The young man's face exuded a cold and fierce killing intent, and he was currently observing Wang Ruoxie with indifferent eyes.

"I've been chasing you for three days and nights, and it's only now that I finally caught up with you."

The young man cast his gaze toward Wang Ruoxie and spoke.

"Do you know me?"

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked the young man.

In his memory, he had never met this person, otherwise, he would have remembered.

However, since the other party claimed to have been chasing him for three days and nights, he must definitely recognize him.

Moreover, he could sense a faint killing intent from the young man, indicating clearly that the person came with hostile intentions.

"I suppose the name Ling Yu isn't unfamiliar to you, right?"

The young man said coldly.

"You're from the Ling Family."

Wang Ruoxie's pupils constricted at these words. Although he had been prepared for the Ling Family experts' pursuit ever since he killed Ling Yu, he hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.

Additionally, this Ling Family youth seemed exceptionally skilled in tracking techniques, able to locate him so precisely without him detecting any traces of being followed.

"It seems Ling Yu, that worthless one, was indeed killed by you."

The young man coldly eyed Wang Ruoxie and said.

"Are you here to kill me to avenge Ling Yu?"

Wang Ruoxie asked the young man.

Though knowing the young man's identity and the reason for his arrival, Wang Ruoxie remained exceedingly calm, showing no signs of panic or fear in his eyes.

"That's right. Although I look down on Ling Yu, he was, after all, the patriarch's son of my Ling Family."

The young man nodded and said, "Since I've been ordered by the patriarch to come, I shall take your life and bring your head back."

"If that's the case, let's begin."

Wang Ruoxie said indifferently upon hearing this.

Immediately, the True Essence within the thirty-two chakras in his body began to circulate rapidly, ready to unleash the greatest power at any moment.

Although filled with confidence in his own strength, he could sense a strong threat from Ling Liang.

Furthermore, since this person was sent by the Ling Family patriarch to kill him, his strength must be formidable, most likely not yet reaching the Essence Pill Realm, but at least at the peak Ninth Layer of Meridian Passage Realm.

"To be honest, though you killed Ling Yu, that waste, I don't hate you at all. In fact, I should thank you because he deserved to die. If I weren't also a member of the Ling Family, I would have killed him myself long ago."

Ling Liang seemed in no hurry to make a move and continued, "Besides, your talent makes me quite amazed. Less than twenty years old yet possessing the Eighth Layer of Meridian Passage Realm, and your strength even rivals the Ninth Layer of Meridian Passage Realm."

"I believe if you can grow, you'll surely become an unrivaled powerhouse for eternity."

"It's a pity that since I'm here today, you have no more chance to live and grow."

Upon hearing Ling Liang's words, Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly and said, "Are you sure you can kill me?"

Ling Liang also smiled at this and said, "I've killed so many geniuses, so many that you can't even imagine, even those so-called prodigies. I love to crush you so-called geniuses underfoot."

"Don't you think it's incredibly delightful to trample those so-called geniuses underfoot?"

Upon this statement, Wang Ruoxie nodded and said, "Indeed it's delightful. Coincidentally, I also enjoy trampling those so-called geniuses underfoot."

"Haha... I'm beginning to admire you."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Ling Liang laughed heartily.

"Have you finished talking nonsense? If so, make your move. I too am eager to see whether it will be you who tramples me underfoot or me who tramples you."

Wang Ruoxie looked indifferently at Ling Liang and said.

Ling Liang smiled nonchalantly at these words and said, "Your nature certainly suits my taste. If there weren't the matter of Ling Yu, perhaps we could be good friends."

"However, to show my respect for you, I will use my full strength to slay you."

With that, a terrifying aura surged from his body.

"Half-Step Essence Pill."

Feeling this terrifying aura, Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed he had underestimated Ling Liang's strength.

At that moment, Ling Liang's figure suddenly trembled, transforming into several shadows, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Wang Ruoxie, unleashing a punch.

A dazzling fist radiance burst forth, with a terrifying power that distorted the surrounding space.

The surging fist wind stirred up a gale, rushing toward Wang Ruoxie.

Even before the punch landed, Wang Ruoxie felt his skin stinging from the punch wind.

Feeling the power contained within this punch, Wang Ruoxie knew that Ling Liang's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Half-Step Essence Pill, and even this single punch was likely enough to easily kill an average Half-Step Essence Pill warrior.

It could be said that even to him now, Ling Liang was indeed a formidable enemy.

"Buzz..."

Wang Ruoxie's palm trembled, and his longsword instantly slashed out, emitting a crisp sword cry.

He held nothing back, pushing all his True Essence to the extreme and directly using the strongest sword move he currently mastered, the fourth move of the Shocking God Sword Technique, the Thunder Shock Technique.
