Deathly silence spread among the crowd like a plague.

The terrifying ghastly aura emanating from Qiao Yu caused immense shock.

Xing Luohao’s eyes were filled with terror, and the pants he had just changed into were faintly stained.

He was right; this guy named Ma Fei was indeed a monster who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses!

Although Lan Ting's face didn't show any change, the bulging veins on his hand tightly gripping the Qingcang Spear betrayed the unrest in his heart.

Qiao Yu grinned, ready to throw out a few more taunts to psychologically break down Lan Ting when the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end!

An intense sense of foreboding washed over Qiao Yu, and he couldn't help but shudder.

It felt as if he was being targeted by a prehistoric beast.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but look back, but there was nothing behind him except the endless mountain of corpses and the silent bodies.

"What's going on…"

Confused and frightened, Qiao Yu knew there were powerful beings beyond the Saint realm in this world of the dead.

"Professor Shen, you need to find me quickly… or else you'll probably only be able to see me by summoning the undead."

Although Qiao Yu was anxious, he didn't have a good solution at the moment.

Even though the S-grade equipment, Void Domain Gate, was in his hands, he didn't know how far the distance was between the world of the dead and Kaiji Star.

With Qiao Yu's current strength, even if the two space nodes were connected, he wouldn't have enough power to push open the Void Domain Gate.

Forget it, it's more important to deal with this Lan Ting for now.

Qiao Yu took a deep breath, focusing his attention.

This Lan Ting was not an easy opponent to deal with; if he was distracted, he might capsize in a sewer.

It was the first time in a long time that he had met an opponent whose strength was comparable to his own, forcing him to go all out.

Is this the worth of the Underworld King's inheritance?

"Ma Fei, you are stronger than I imagined!"

Lan Ting slowly closed his eyes.

"Someone like you is qualified to see my full strength!"

Then, a terrifying aura surged from Lan Ting. He stood upright, like a spear piercing the sky.

Although his level was still at the peak of the Emperor realm, the aura he exuded was more terrifying than many Saints.

"This is my greatest trump card, and the confidence I have to kill Saints at the peak of the Emperor realm!"

"I call this move… Gun Shen Bian (Spear God Transformation)!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Ting suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to have merged with the Qingcang Spear; the spear was Lan Ting, and Lan Ting was the spear!

A cold light flickered on the tip of the Qingcang Spear, as if it wanted to pierce the sky.

Faced with the pressure that Qiao Yu brought, Lan Ting finally showed his full strength.

In just an instant, Lan Ting's figure disappeared from the spot, appearing behind Qiao Yu like a ghost.

A simple thrust caused the surrounding space to tremble. Before the tip of the spear even arrived, Qiao Yu felt a stinging sensation on his skin.

However, no matter how fast Lan Ting was, he could not escape the detection of the Ghost Eyes.

Lan Ting's move was clearly reflected in his azure eyes. Without any hesitation, Qiao Yu activated the Ghost Eyes: Thousand Soldiers Path!

The Zhulong Crescent Blade thrust out violently, colliding with the Qingcang Spear.

The aftermath of their collision stirred up dust and debris, and both Qiao Yu and Lan Ting took three steps back.

Lan Ting's first all-out attack resulted in a tie!

"How is this possible?! Lan Ting didn't hold back at all this time. Is that kid really that strong?"

"Too terrifying. This is the first time I've seen someone of the same generation fight Lan Ting in Gun Shen Bian (Spear God Transformation) to a standstill. It's unbelievable."

This scene made the onlookers gasp.

Xing Luoshuang clenched her small fists nervously.

"Impossible, Brother Lan Ting can't lose!"

Lan Ting himself was not surprised at all. He had expected that the man named Ma Fei would definitely not be easy to deal with.

Failing to land a hit, he charged forward again, sweeping out with a fierce thrust, like a divine dragon swinging its tail towards Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu raised the Zhulong Crescent Blade to block, then clenched his other hand into a fist, gathering countless streams of power into his fist.

"Liushui Baihua Quan (Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist)!"

Qiao Yu punched out, and terrifying flowing water force poured out, directly blasting the stunned Lan Ting away.

Lan Ting smashed through several mountains of corpses, and countless disgusting corpse fluids covered his body.

However, Lan Ting's face showed no disgust, only shock as he looked at Qiao Yu.

"Liushui Baihua Quan (Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist)! You're from the Bai family!"

Lan Ting exclaimed in surprise. Who in the Ninth Universe didn't know the name of the Bai family?

Even the Xing family had to be wary when facing the Bai family, otherwise, Bai Shiyan wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant.

"What Bai family? I'm from the Ma family, my name is Ma Fei!" Qiao Yu replied without changing his expression.

Little did he know that this appearance of his further confirmed his identity as a member of the Bai family in the eyes of everyone.

After all, who didn't know that only the direct descendants of the Bai family could learn the Liushui Baihua Quan (Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist)?

Xing Luoshuang and Xing Luohao exchanged glances, seeing a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

The Bai family's power was already stronger than their Xing family. If this Ma Fei was also a member of the Bai family, wouldn't that mean that another genius more terrifying than Bai Shiyan was about to appear in the Bai family?

This was definitely not something the Xing family could accept. The Xing family's geniuses of the same era as Bai Shiyan had almost all been psychologically traumatized by Bai Shiyan.

If another Bai Shiyan appeared, would the Xing family's new generation even want to live?

Lan Ting took a deep breath, propping himself up with the spear to stand again.

"Regardless of whether you are a member of the Bai family or not, since we are both inheritors, we should rely on our own abilities. Even if I kill you, the Bai family won't say much!"

Lan Ting's words were either to convince himself or to convince Qiao Yu.

But after saying these words, his gaze became firm again.

"I don't care if you're Ma Fei or Bai Fei, but if you can take this attack, then you win this battle!"

A terrifying aura gathered on Lan Ting's body.

Qiao Yu frowned slightly because he felt an aura of the Underworld on Lan Ting's body.

A wisp of ghostly cyan flame ignited on the tip of the Qingcang Spear, then quickly spread to the spear shaft.

As soon as that flame appeared, everyone felt a violent tremor in their bodies, as if the flame could directly burn their souls.

This terrifying feeling made everyone shudder.

"This fire is called Netherworld Cyan Flame, and it comes from the true Underworld! I have integrated it into my spear technique. Next, is my strongest strike, Lan Ting's!"

As Lan Ting's voice fell, the Netherworld Cyan Flame burned fiercely, interpreting its power to the world!
