When the Wuxiang Boy saw the red-haired boy's true identity, Ming Qi immediately thought of the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art, a superior beast-taming technique. While it might not completely restrain the red-haired boy, who bore the blood of the ancient wild beasts, his ancient beast bloodline alone would undoubtedly be affected by the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art.
Determined, Ming Qi steadied himself in mid-air, sheathed the Yellow Dragon War Spear and the Small Five Elements Fan, and then opened and closed his hands, unleashing the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art was a sophisticated technique, executed silently and without a sound. Ming Qi had previously used it to control the Di Kui Demon Fox, several levels above him.
Although the red-haired youth possessed a powerful bloodline, his strength was still relatively low. Therefore, he was completely unaware of the change in Ming Qi's attack methods. He simply continued to wield his blood-red sword, pressing forward.
Buzz!
After a few breaths, a deafening sound suddenly echoed through the air. In that instant, the swift-moving red-haired youth, along with the ferocious twin demon dogs, froze, as if struck by a tremendous shock.
Compared to the twin demon dogs, the red-haired youth possessed far greater strength and intelligence, allowing him to recover much more quickly from the effects of the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art.
The red-haired youth froze in his place, then suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Ming Qi, a terrifying crimson glow emanating from them. With a roar, he launched himself into the air again, accelerating even further.
Unexpectedly, a single soul attack from the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art could completely unleash the red-haired boy's ferocity. However, Ming Qi wasn't surprised. Since the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art had a restraining effect, this battle would become incredibly simple.
Just a simple soul attack, but what followed wasn't so simple.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art possessed the mysterious ability to draw, subdue, and control the spirits of beasts. This was equivalent to forcibly extracting the essence of a demonic beast's soul and controlling it. This method was extremely ruthless and, once completely controlled, even if a creature later broke free and recovered, its strength would be greatly diminished.
However, Ming Qi showed no mercy. With the red-haired boy's ferocity now fully revealed, expecting him to abandon his rivalry with Ming Qi was clearly impossible.
Swish, swish, swish, Ming Qi swiftly unleashed streaks of mysterious light, which dispersed and enveloped the red-haired boy.
As soon as these strange lights reached the area around the red-haired boy, over ten meters in radius, they instantly gathered around him, as if possessed by a soul, and a golden ring rapidly formed.
This gradually forming circle also had a history. It was a beast-taming ability within the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art, called the Supreme Golden Ring. Once trapped by the Supreme Golden Ring, the true spirit-binding and control began.
According to the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Art, once trapped by the Supreme Golden Ring, there was no escape. In other words, once trapped, one was effectively subdued.
"Such a powerful force!"
The Supreme Golden Ring was under Ming Qi's control, and he could naturally sense the power emanating from the red-haired boy. This power was immense, completely beyond Ming Qi's expectations, and he could not help but be astonished.
At this point, the red-haired boy seemed to finally sense a hint of danger, knowing that if trapped by the golden ring, he would be doomed. Therefore, he reacted with remarkable speed. As the golden ring enveloped him, he immediately swung his sword, attempting to cut through it.
But he was surprised to discover that the golden ring seemed invisible and intangible, unable to damage it even a tiny bit despite the long sword's swift movement.
Ah!
Finally, the red-haired youth let out a roar uncharacteristic of humanity, and his entire body began to shift erratically.
"Is it transforming into an ancient beast?"
Observing the strange transformation on the red-haired youth, Ming Qi speculated that, as Wuxiang Tongzi had said, the Savage Ancient Beast Tribe would become even more powerful once they transformed into ancient beast forms.
To be on the safe side, Ming Qi once again emitted a mysterious light, and another Supreme Golden Ring quickly descended upon the red-haired youth.
After doing this, Ming Qi swiftly turned and flew towards the Seven Treasures Lotus Flower not far away.
He had not forgotten the purpose of his arduous battle: the Seven Treasures Lotus Flower was the purpose of his battle. At this moment, most cultivators were wary of their own danger, and no one dared to even think about it. Therefore, despite the large number of people on the Immortal Dragon Summit, no one dared to approach the Seven Treasures Lotus Flower.
Flying over, Ming Qi landed on the ground with a single leap, then took a few steps before arriving in front of the Seven Treasures Lotus. The two crystal-clear lotuses were now in full bloom, radiating an alluring glow in the darkness.
Without a word, Ming Qi reached out and plucked the two precious flowers by the roots, throwing them into the Divine Map's spatial dimension.
"Wuxiang, find a suitable place to place these flowers."
Ming Qi gave Wuxiang a command, but they were already facing the frantic twin demon dogs charging towards them.
Having their treasures taken away, the guardian beasts were completely frantic, charging at Ming Qi recklessly.
"Well, I'll capture you and send you to guard the mountain gate."
With a wave of his hand, Ming Qi unleashed the Supreme Golden Ring. A flash of golden light passed, and without warning, the twin demon dogs were bound by Ming Qi and thrown into the Divine Map's spatial dimension.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone to all this trouble."
Ming Qi felt a surge of emotion after defeating the twin demon dogs so easily. If he had used the Ten Thousand Beasts Supreme Technique earlier, he might have already secured the precious flower and escaped into eternity.
Seeing Ming Qi snatch the Seven Treasures Lotus, the red-haired youth roared in anger, swinging his sword as swiftly as a storm, his body constantly transforming.
Under the control of the two Supreme Golden Rings, escaping was exceedingly difficult.
However, he couldn't just throw the red-haired youth into the divine diagram space like he had with the twin demon dogs.
After collecting the Seven Treasures Lotus, Ming Qi glanced around. Zuo Mingzi and Du Huifeng, who had been defeated earlier, stood in their respective camps with angry eyes, neither daring to attack.
Knowing this battle was drawing to a close, he had no intention of completely subduing the red-haired youth, so he prepared to leave.
After scanning the area, Ming Qi spotted the girl named Jiu Mei standing not far away.
"Come here," Ming Qi pointed at Jiu Mei.
Jiu Mei had witnessed Ming Qi's display of divine power and his eventual capture of the precious flower. Hearing Ming Qi call her, she dared not delay and hurried over.
Ah...
As Jiu Mei reached Ming Qi, they heard a long howl. Ming Qi looked up and was surprised to see the red-haired boy had broken free from the Supreme Golden Ring. A brilliant crimson light shone around him, and the shadow of a gigantic demonic beast loomed behind him, rapidly heading north towards Xianlong Peak.
"Senior, he's escaped,"
Jiu Mei whispered as she saw the red-haired boy flee.
"It's good he's gone, otherwise I'd have to kill him."
"That day at the Silver Moon Waterfall, I ran into you two by chance..." Ming Qi said, a hint of a smile playing on his face as he deliberately paused.
Ninth Sister simply blushed and lowered her head, not even having the courage to look at Ming Qi.
"But you two shouldn't have used someone else's knife to kill me and made me your enemy. Now that your companion is dead, the score is even. I won't make things difficult for you any further. You can decide your future path."
After Ming Qi finished speaking, he began to leave.
"Senior, please stay..."
