After breaking through to the Essence Pill Realm, Wang Ruoxie's strength has increased by more than dozens of times compared to before.

Even if he were to encounter Duan Ying, Nangong Han, and the others again, he would have enough confidence to seize treasure resources from them.

It can be said that with his current strength, almost no one can compete with him for treasure resources anymore.

After advancing for half an hour, Wang Ruoxie finally saw figures in the distance.

In an ancient pavilion ahead, several people were engaged in a fierce fight.

As for what they were fighting over, it seemed to be an ancient longsword.

"It's actually an Upper Grade Earth Artifact Longsword."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes brightened; he was just missing a weapon suited to his hand. Given his current cultivation power, this Upper Grade Earth Artifact Longsword was perfect for him.

Immediately, his body trembled slightly, and he directly appeared inside the ancient pavilion.

Upon discovering someone else daring to interfere, the men immediately stopped their contest and then jointly attacked Wang Ruoxie.

"You court death."

Seeing them charge at him, Wang Ruoxie struck directly with one palm.

Star Luo Palm, a Celestial Tier Upper Grade martial technique, palms as infinite as the stars, unstoppable.

With Wang Ruoxie's current First Layer Essence Pill Realm cultivation, the power unleashed by the Star Luo Palm was incomparably stronger than before, enhanced countless times.

"Boom..."

Accompanied by a loud explosion, the assailants targeting Wang Ruoxie were instantly blasted away.

A large amount of blood sprayed from their mouths, subsequently, their entire bodies crashed to the ground in the distance, each one seemingly seriously injured, utterly losing the power to fight again.

This was because Wang Ruoxie did not intend to kill them; otherwise, with just this one palm strike, he could have reduced them to dust, completely vanishing from the world.

Bending down, Wang Ruoxie collected the Upper Grade Earth Artifact Longsword.

Ignoring the wailing men on the ground, he lifted his steps and continued walking forward.

After advancing for about another half-hour, Wang Ruoxie's body suddenly halted, his eyes bore a cold gleam as they focused ahead.

Because he saw a familiar figure not far in the distance, it was none other than Duan Ying, who had previously injured him with a single punch.

"You dare to appear again."

Duan Ying also noticed Wang Ruoxie, speaking coldly.

Previously, Wang Ruoxie had taken the jade box in front of him, causing him to feel deeply humiliated.

The most infuriating part was that he even let the opponent escape, something he found hard to accept.

"Why wouldn't I dare appear?"

Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently, replying.

As Wang Ruoxie's words fell, everyone around was in an uproar, as Wang Ruoxie dared speak to Duan Ying this way, could he not be afraid of death?

One must know, Duan Ying was not only a genius expert from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty but also a formidable Essence Pill Realm presence, killing these Meridian Passage Realm individuals would be utterly effortless.

"Do you not know, I won't give you a second chance to escape?"

Duan Ying was rather surprised, speaking to Wang Ruoxie, seemingly not expecting the other party to defy him so.

"This time, I will not flee."

Wang Ruoxie said flatly.

With the same First Layer Essence Pill Realm cultivation, he was confident enough to defeat or even kill the opponent.

"So ignorant."

Duan Ying sneered upon hearing this, "Hand over the jade box, and I'll spare your life."

"No need for idle talk, let's fight, if you can truly kill me, the jade box will naturally be yours."

Wang Ruoxie stated indifferently.

"Since you seek death, I'll oblige."

Duan Ying coldly laughed, then his body trembled, appearing instantly before Wang Ruoxie, thrusting a punch.

He didn't take Wang Ruoxie seriously at all, previously because he was careless and didn't use his full strength, which let the opponent escape.

This punch, though not utilizing full power, was sufficient to obliterate any martial cultivator below the Essence Pill Realm, the opponent had no chance to withstand it.

The gust from the punch howled, the terrifying force distorting even the surrounding space.

The power of this punch could destroy mountains and break cliffs, even a typical First Layer Essence Pill Realm might be easily shattered.

Facing Duan Ying's incoming punch, Wang Ruoxie's expression remained exceedingly calm, then he suddenly launched a punch of his own, meeting Duan Ying's directly.

"Bang!"

With a deafening boom, the two punches collided fiercely in an instant.

Immediately, an extremely violent and terrifying Vigorous Qi, centered on them, swept madly in all directions.

"Boom…"

The nearby structures turned to dust instantaneously, and even the ground cracked with countless fissures, expanding continuously outward.

Those watching from not far away retreated in horror.

However, many who were slower were instantaneously swallowed by the terrifying Vigorous Qi, leaving no remains.

The aftermath of an Essence Pill Realm battle still carried frightening power, something the Meridian Passage Realm individuals could not withstand.

If they knew Wang Ruoxie was also of the First Layer Essence Pill Realm, with strength not weaker than Duan Ying's, possibly stronger, they would have distanced themselves from the start.

After a long time, the space gradually calmed.

The onlookers at a distance fixed their gazes on the slowly revealing figures of the two.

"How is it possible..."

Seeing the current situation of the two, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.

Because they saw Wang Ruoxie still standing unharmed, while Duan Ying appeared to have stepped back a bit.

Though Duan Ying had only retreated a single step, it was enough to astonish them.

You must know, Duan Ying was a mighty First Layer Essence Pill Realm presence and a top genius among the Myriad Dragons List's top five hundred, his strength was far beyond a typical First Layer Essence Pill Realm.

Wang Ruoxie could repel Duan Ying, doesn't this mean his cultivation also reached at least First Layer Essence Pill Realm, with strength vastly exceeding a regular First Layer Essence Pill Realm?

If it were any among Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, or Bai Yinyin, they wouldn't be surprised, but Wang Ruoxie, an unknown figure, how could they not be shaken.

"Interesting, I didn't expect you to break through to the Essence Pill Realm in such a short time, and your strength so exceptional, it appears I underestimated you."

The shock in Duan Ying's eyes fleetingly passed, speaking to Wang Ruoxie.

Though Wang Ruoxie had repelled him with one punch, he didn't think the other could truly contend with him.

That previous punch, he used at most thirty percent of his power, so he believed that if he exerted his full strength, he could easily defeat or even annihilate the other.

"I can give you one more chance, as long as you hand over the jade box, I won't kill you and will allow you to follow me. After the Eastern Domain Trial Meeting, I'll take you back to the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, how about it?"

Duan Ying looked at Wang Ruoxie, speaking.
