There were four great kings in the Tian Que Territory: King of Dan, King of Barbarians, King of Beasts, and King of Gu!
The King of Dan was the Alchemy God, the ancestor of the Yan family. The King of Barbarians was the Incipient God Realm expert of the Man Tribe. The King of Beasts was Dugu Pu, the one who could control beasts. The King of Gu was Duke Hu, the King of Gu.
Duke of Hu was the patriarch of the Gu Race for a few generations, and he was a high-level Supreme Being. With his Gu Technique and Gu Poison abilities, he could easily defeat a peak Supreme Being.
It was also because the Gu Race had many tricks up their sleeves that ordinary people didn't want to provoke.
Now that Duke of Hu had locked onto Ling Xiao and forced Ling Xiao to fight in outer space, it was out of Ling Xiao's expectations.
"Hehe, of course, I will obey the orders of an elder!" Ling Xiao smiled calmly and rushed towards outer space with Duke of Hu.
"Haha, good! With this courage, you are indeed worthy of being Little Tian's father. You have some guts like him!" Duke of Hu laughed heartily.
Ling Xiao's face turned green, and he thought to himself, Is there something wrong with this old man's brain? Little Tian is my son, and he is the one who has the same boldness as me!
The two of them landed on the outer space like two towering mountains. Even the raging astral winds couldn't shake them.
"Little Tian said that his father is a great hero. Today, I, Duke of Hu, shall see if it's really as he said!
Make your move, I will let you have ten moves! "Duke of Hu said heroically.
"Old man, I'll let you have three moves first. Otherwise, you'll lose face!" Ling Xiao said as he spread out his hands.
"Hmm, so arrogant. It seems like you are the same as Tian 'er. Do you know what my cultivation is?" Duke of Hu chuckled, and the aura of a high-level Supreme Being was released without any concealment.
His aura shrouded towards Ling Xiao, and he wanted to suppress Ling Xiao with his aura.
However, his Advanced Level aura had no effect on Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao stood there calmly, like an unshakable mountain that had existed for ten thousand years!
At this moment, Duke of Hu frowned his brows. He finally saw through Ling Xiao's cultivation. He had actually reached the pinnacle of the Mid-Level Supremacy Realm!
"Didn't you say that your cultivation is only at the Middle Level? You actually managed to reach the pinnacle in such a short period of time. You do have some tricks up your sleeves. Coupled with your Kim people's Ancient Emperor Divine Art, you should be able to fight against ordinary High Level Sovereigns. However, this old man has been a High Level Sovereign for many years. How can you be my opponent?!" Duke of Hu muttered to himself as he chose to make the first move.
A claw with a strong dark green color suddenly appeared and clawed at Ling Xiao's head.
The space was torn apart, and the claw energy pierced through the space and descended on Ling Xiao's head.
Ling Xiao didn't dodge at all. Instead, his dragon eyes flickered with a shrewd light. A dragon-shaped battle qi rushed out of his back and forcefully knocked away the claw.
Rumble!
The dark green claw radiance was instantly destroyed.
A mighty golden dragon flickered above Ling Xiao's head. It was as if it were alive, and it had become incomparably powerful and extraordinary.
"That's a Divine Beast True Dragon. No, this … this is just a condensed form of Battle Qi. Good heavens, those who can condense Battle Qi to attack are all on the Sovereign Ranking. You actually know this as well. You are indeed as talented as Tian 'er!" Duke of Hu exclaimed in surprise.
The more Ling Xiao listened to the old man's words, the more annoyed he became. He shouted, "Old man, Tian 'er is my son. His talent is bestowed upon him by me!
Come on, you still have two moves left! "
"Haha, fine. Since you have a dragon-shaped battle qi, I'll use my Saint Beast to protect myself!" Duke of Hu laughed. Suddenly, two black shadows appeared behind him.
They were two gigantic Gu Kings. Their sinister appearance was filled with a thirst for blood.
The two Gu Kings let out a strange cry and pounced at Ling Xiao. Waves of poison spread out from their bodies. Even a God King wouldn't be able to withstand the poison.
"Go!" Ling Xiao said with a faint smile. His dragon-shaped battle qi also charged forward.
The dragon-shaped battle qi was extraordinary. Along with Ling Xiao's advancement, its combat strength had increased significantly. It was now at the peak of the Mid-Level Divine Beast.
The two Gu Kings before him were only at the mid-level of the eleventh rank. They were still quite a distance away from the peak of the Mid-Level Divine Beast.
Their poison was tyrannical and could rival a peak Mid-Level Divine Beast. However, they had no advantage against the dragon-shaped battle qi. This was because the dragon-shaped battle qi wasn't afraid of the poison origin qi.
The dragon-shaped battle qi roared like a real dragon, causing the two huge and slender Gu Kings to writhe and shriek.
In terms of offensive strength, how could the Gu Kings be a match for a true dragon?
"Brat, you're strong indeed. Take this!" Duke of Hu seized the opportunity to launch an attack. With a shout, he struck out with his claws.
Hundred Venomous Claws!
This time, Duke of Hu used all of his strength. His countless claws were filled with dense venomous energy. Once touched by this venomous energy, even a Supreme Expert at the Incipient God Realm wouldn't be able to resist it.
Of course, he didn't want to kill Ling Xiao. Since he had the ability to use poison, he naturally had the ability to retrieve the poison origin. He just wanted to torture Ling Xiao a little bit so that he would know the consequences of ignoring an old man.
The entire sky was filled with venomous energy. The surrounding space was completely dyed in a layer of dark green. It was as if hundreds of venomous insects had appeared in the world. It was a disgusting sight to behold!
Once the venomous insects entered one's body, not only would they be corroded by the venomous insects, but they would also be controlled by the venomous insects. They wouldn't be able to escape from the body and would be controlled by the venomous insects!
This was the Dao of the venomous insects. It was unpredictable and strange. No one dared to provoke them!
However, Ling Xiao wasn't afraid at all. At his level, no poison could invade his body. The coldness and heat couldn't harm him at all.
However, he didn't take this attack head-on. Instead, he used the Storm Movement Technique and turned into a gust of wind. He appeared in front of Duke of Hu.
Duke of Hu's attack missed and he couldn't help but think to himself, "I heard that this kid cultivates five elements at the same time, including the wind element. It seems like it's true. If I don't risk my life, I won't be able to suppress him!"
For the third attack, Duke of Hu chose to use all of his strength!
"Kid, pay attention. I'll defeat you with this move!"
Duke of Hu reminded Ling Xiao. The venomous insects around his body started to spread, and the shadows of venomous insects swayed.
Ten Thousand Venomous Insects Devour the Heavens!
Numerous Gu Kings rushed out and surrounded the area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. All of them rushed towards Ling Xiao. Countless gu poisons carried a terrifying corrosive intent that was enough to make even a pinnacle Supreme Martial Artist retreat!
Even if Ling Xiao's speed was unparalleled, he would still be surrounded by the venomous insects. It was impossible for him to escape, and he could only face them head-on!
"Seal!" A serious expression flashed across Ling Xiao's face!
He didn't feel any threat from the old man in front of him. After all, the old man was someone who cultivated venomous insects. Most of his time was spent refining venomous insects, and his battle prowess was also dependent on the venomous insects. His strength was only comparable to a peak Intermediate Level Magus like him!
The old man had used all of his strength in this attack, and he couldn't be too arrogant. He had to give the old man some face and break his attack!
Ling Xiao's Glacier Fist blasted out, and a blue ice color began to burst forth. Ice fists with fist intent suddenly appeared, and countless dark snow cold forces began to freeze the surroundings.
The temperature of the surrounding space instantly became incomparably cold.
Many venomous insects were frozen to the point that they couldn't move. They were all sealed in ice, forming a world that resembled an ice sculpture.
Duke of Hu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately retreated without any hesitation!
"Oh my, are you trying to freeze this old man to death?!" Duke of Hu's body trembled as he cried out.
The dark snow energy that Ling Xiao had refined wasn't ordinary, and he had even refined some of the coldest ice energy before the ice dragon. Even the Ice Nether's dark snow energy couldn't be compared to his.
Even Duke of Hu, who was a high-level Supremacy Realm expert, couldn't withstand the pressure of the cold energy. It was obvious how powerful it was!
Ling Xiao retracted his fist, but the ice crystals were still shining brightly, and the cold energy lingered in the air.
In the next moment, Ling Xiao's body moved slightly, and he lightly shouted, "Shatter!"
His voice was like the descent of a sovereign, and it had a kind of charm to it. It caused the ice crystals to shatter, and the venomous insects to dissipate along with the shattering of the ice crystals.
When the cold energy disappeared, Duke of Hu heaved a sigh of relief. He could sense that if he was sealed in ice, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Brat, you're a freak, stop fighting!" Duke of Hu exclaimed.
How could he dare to challenge Ling Xiao now? He had already confirmed that Feng Lingtian's words weren't wrong. His father was indeed stronger than him, the old patriarch!
"It's naturally for the best if we can stop fighting!" Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
He retracted his Dragon Battle Qi, and the two venomous insects were covered in wounds. They weren't a match for his Dragon Battle Qi at all.
"No wonder Little Tian views you as his idol. It seems like he was right. However, it's best for him to stay in our race as the young patriarch. His ability to refine venomous insects is unparalleled, and our race's Heaven Gu Cauldron is also prepared to be passed down to him!" Duke of Hu said to Ling Xiao.
He said this because he hoped that Ling Xiao would agree to let Feng Lingtian stay in the Gu Clan. This is the hope for the Gu Clan to become stronger in the future!
"Heaven Gu Cauldron, I didn't expect it to exist in the Gu Clan!" Ling Xiao said in his heart.
This is one of the Nine Great Cauldrons, ranked seventh. It's the inheritance divine cauldron of the Gu Clan.
Back then, Ling Xiao only found the Saint rank Heaven Imitation Gu Cauldron.
For the Gu Clan to pass down this Heaven Gu Cauldron to his son, it clearly proves that the Gu Clan truly wants to keep Feng Lingtian and nurture him.
"I've never cared about Tian 'er's matters. He might not listen to my words. It's fine as long as you can convince him. I don't mind his decision!" Ling Xiao said as he spread his hands.
Indeed, his son has his own opinions since young. It's better for him to make his own decision.
"With your words, Little Tian will definitely stay in our race!" Duke of Hu said with certainty.
"En, I hope so. I want to go and see Tian 'er now. I wonder if it's convenient for me?" Ling Xiao replied.
"Hehe, what's inconvenient about it? Let's go, that kid still wants to return to the Heavenly Dragon Domain!
You came at the right time! "Duke of Hu replied with a faint smile.
