Chapter 57

"BOOM!!!"

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise exploded at the edge of Peach Blossom Island!

The violent energy aftermath swept out in all directions like a tsunami!

The surrounding ground was cracked inch by inch, and countless peach trees were snapped in half under this impact, turning into wood shavings filling the sky!

Even the distant sea surface was stirred into giant waves several meters high!

Dust filled the air, and shattered stones flew through the sky!

When the dust cleared slightly.

Qu Qu Lingfeng and the four of them were seen, although their faces were somewhat pale and blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.

Clearly, they had suffered some internal injuries in the hard clash just now.

But they still stood proudly, and only a few of the Peach Blossom Island servants behind them had suffered minor injuries.

And Duan Duan Yanqing's One Yang Finger finger-qi, which was enough to pierce metal and stone, had actually... actually been forcibly shattered by them!

"What?!"

In those deep-set eye sockets of Duan Duan Yanqing, for the first time, a look of unbelievable shock appeared!

He never expected that his One Yang Finger, which had condensed his full ten percent of power.

Would actually be blocked by these unknown juniors of Peach Blossom Island?!

Although that voice just now seemed to have caused a slight interference with his finger-strength.

But the strength of these juniors, and the profoundness of their combined-attack array, had truly exceeded his expectations!

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of wariness toward that "expert" of Peach Blossom Island whose voice he had heard but whose person he had not seen.

Although the specific direction of that voice just now could not be determined, the majesty and power contained within it.

Made even him, a long-renowned grandmaster expert, feel a hint of heart palpitations!

This person was definitely a top-tier expert whose strength was not below his own! Perhaps... even stronger!

Duan Duan Yanqing scanned his surroundings coldly, trying to find the source of the voice.

But his powerful spiritual sense could not perceive anyone's aura at all.

It was as if the voice had come from all directions, from between heaven and earth.

This made him feel even more suspicious and uneasy.

"What kind of expert is hiding here, playing god and ghost?!"

"If you have the ability, come out and fight me, Duan, fair and square! Why hide your head and show your tail?!"

Duan Duan Yanqing's hoarse voice rang out again, filled with vigilance and a hint of hard-to-detect wariness.

Yun Yun Zhonghe, Yue Yue Laosan, Ye Ye Erniang, and other Hall of One Grade experts behind him also began to provoke.

"That's right! If you have the ability, come out! What kind of hero are you, hiding in the dark!"

"Could it be that you are afraid of my boss?!"

They tried to use words to goad that expert hidden in the dark to come out.

The Northern Beggar Hong Hong Qigong, who was watching from the side, also had eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity at this moment.

He also hadn't expected that such a mysterious and unfathomable expert was hidden on this Peach Blossom Island!

Even he had felt a hint of pressure from that voice just now!

He also wanted to see who this person was, who could make the Eastern Heretic entrust Peach Blossom Island to them, and who Zhou Zhou Botong could call "Senior Brother," and what kind of heaven-shaking, earth-shattering means they possessed!

Was he finally going to see this mysterious Island Master of Flood Dragon Island strike?!

However, Ning Chuan ignored the clamor and provocation of Duan Duan Yanqing and the others entirely.

His voice rang out calmly again, but it was directed at Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others:

"Qu Lingfeng, catch these!"

Before the words had even faded.

Four pitch-black rays of light were seen shooting out like meteors from nowhere!

Their speed was so fast, and their angles so tricky, that it was impossible to see their trajectory!

The next moment, those four rays of dark light landed with pinpoint accuracy in front of Qu Qu Lingfeng, Lu Lu Chengfeng, Wu Wu Mianfeng, and Feng Feng Mofeng!

They hovered in mid-air in front of them!

Everyone looked closely and saw that they were actually four drops of blood, the size of dragon eyes, pitch-black as ink, radiating a rich life force and surging energy fluctuations... blood?!

Within that blood, there seemed to be a hint of incomparably pure internal energy, as well as an indescribable majesty and sanctity!

It was precisely the Flood Dragon Essence Blood—which Ning Chuan had just obtained after his transformation, containing the Flood Dragon bloodline and grandmaster-level Flood Dragon essence!

Each of these four drops of Flood Dragon Essence Blood contained unimaginable energy.

It was enough to greatly boost their strength in a short period of time!

Giving them the confidence to contend with grandmaster experts!

Qu Qu Lingfeng and the four of them looked at the four drops of Flood Dragon Essence Blood radiating a strange luster in front of them.

Feeling the surging and pure energy contained within them.

Looks of irrepressible excitement and ecstasy appeared on all their faces!

They naturally knew that this must be the supreme treasure bestowed upon them by the Island Master, Ning Chuan!

The four of them did not hesitate at all, bowing in unison toward the void, and then opened their mouths to swallow the Flood Dragon Essence Blood hovering in front of them!

BOOM!

Almost the moment the Flood Dragon Essence Blood entered their stomachs!

An indescribably vast and pure energy, like a volcanic eruption, exploded within their bodies!

The bodies of the four of them couldn't help but tremble slightly, and complex expressions of pain and pleasure intertwined appeared on their faces!

Their auras were skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Their internal energy, which had originally only been at the early stage of Innate or the second or third turn of Innate, was climbing steadily in a short period of time under the catalysis of this Flood Dragon Essence Blood!

Soon, they reached the peak of their respective realms, and there were even faint signs of breaking through again!

Their physical bodies also became tougher and fuller of strength under the nourishment of this energy!

"Kill!"

Feeling the surging power within their bodies, Qu Qu Lingfeng and the four of them felt their confidence greatly increased and their fighting spirit soared!

They roared in unison, once again leading the many servants of Peach Blossom Island to form the combined-attack array, and charged fiercely at Duan Duan Yanqing and the Four Great Evils, including Yun Yun Zhonghe, Yue Yue Laosan, and Ye Ye Erniang!

This time, their offensive was even more ferocious and sharper than before!

Every move and every style contained powerful strength far exceeding what they had before!

Peach Blossom Island's combined-attack array, under the reinforcement of their skyrocketing strength, also exerted even more terrifying power!

On the field, sword qi crisscrossed, and palm shadows flew!

True qi surged like raging waves!

Giant rocks were easily shattered, and deep gullies were plowed into the ground!

Trees were knocked down in swathes, turning into wood shavings filling the sky!

This was no longer a simple battle between Innate warriors; its destructive power was already faintly approaching the level of grandmaster experts!

Duan Duan Yanqing, this long-renowned grandmaster expert, was caught in a flurry and unable to parry under the fierce, fearless, and crazy attacks of the Peach Blossom Island crowd, who seemed to have been injected with stimulants.

He was actually beaten into a state of chaos for a time!

His One Yang Finger, which he prided himself on, although still unparalleled in power.

Could not exert its full power in front of Peach Blossom Island's profound combined-attack array!

Often, just as a finger-qi was pointed out, it would be intercepted and neutralized by several attacks simultaneously!

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became!

He couldn't understand how these few juniors of Peach Blossom Island could suddenly become so powerful?!

Could it be that those four rays of black light just now were some kind of secret medicine that could instantly boost internal energy?!

Yun Yun Zhonghe, Yue Yue Laosan, and Ye Ye Erniang were beaten until they were miserable and in a sorry state!

Originally, they could still rely on their rich martial arts experience and ruthless means to contend with Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others for a while.

But now, facing the Peach Blossom Island crowd whose strength had skyrocketed and who were cooperating tacitly.

They were completely suppressed, having only the power to parry and no strength to fight back!

Their bodies were covered in many new wounds, dripping with blood!

"This... this is impossible!"
