Dragon Blood Contest

"Young Master Su, what is the meaning of this?"

Li Pinger looked at Su Ming with a face covered in frost, wishing she could carve a few ounces of flesh right off of him.

"Exactly what it sounds like."

Su Ming looked toward the people from Shengyang Mountain and continued, "Friends from Shengyang Mountain, what do you think?"

Although the amount of candle dragon blood on that Spiritual Plant was small, there was enough to be divided.

Yan Bing, the leader of the Shengyang Mountain group, snapped out of it and replied, "I am Yan Bing. If this friend is willing to help, we are willing to share the candle dragon blood with you."

Yan Bing also knew that since one Su Ming had been drawn here, others would surely follow.

When the time came for multiple parties to clash and confront each other, it would be a big question mark whether this candle dragon blood would even fall into their hands.

It was better to join forces with Su Ming now to force the people from Jade Pool Holy Land to retreat first.

"I am Su Ming. I presume Brother Yan is not someone who would go back on his word."

Su Ming leapt directly down from Shen Ming's head and arrived beside Yan Bing and the others.

Originally, Shengyang Mountain and Jade Pool Holy Land had the same number of people, ten each.

But now that Su Ming had intervened, the balance was instantly shattered.

Li Pinger understood that if the fight continued, her side would definitely not gain any advantage.

Thus, she gave Su Ming and the Shengyang Mountain crowd a vicious glare before leading the rest of Jade Pool Holy Land away.

"Brother Su, my master once said that the most vengeful people in this world are petty men and women. I'm afraid she has already developed a grudge against you."

"I don't mind that. Jade Pool Holy Land can't do anything to me."

Yan Bing had indeed never heard of Su Ming before. Seeing an opportunity to scout out Su Ming's background, he immediately followed the lead, "Oh? Brother Su is so confident? That is the Jade Pool Holy Land, after all."

"So what? My family, my father, my mother, and my grandfather are all at the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm. The Master of the Treasure Pavilion is a close personal friend of mine. Why should I fear her Jade Pool Holy Land?"

Su Ming's voice transmission gave Yan Bing quite a shock.

Then he thought of Su Ming's surname. Wasn't it the same as the Su Family that had been the talk of the Outer Void recently?

The cooperation between the Su Family and the Treasure Pavilion was practically common knowledge in the outside world.

No wonder Su Ming could be so fearless; they really couldn't afford to offend the Jade Pool Holy Land, but the Jade Pool Holy Land couldn't afford to offend him either.

"Brother Yan, the people are gone. Should we discuss how to distribute this candle dragon blood? I trust that with Brother Yan's character, you wouldn't do something like changing your mind at the last minute?"

Hearing Su Ming's words, Yan Bing gave an embarrassed smile.

He indeed had thoughts of changing his mind earlier.

After all, candle dragon blood was truly too tempting. However, he hadn't planned on being ruthless, but rather giving Su Ming some other treasures to send him on his way.

But now that he knew Su Ming's identity, Yan Bing no longer had such thoughts.

"Brother Su must be joking. How could I do such a thing? How about this: one-quarter of this candle dragon blood belongs to you. What do you think?"

One-quarter wasn't a small amount, so Su Ming nodded. "That works."

Yan Bing immediately stepped forward to pluck the Spirit Medicine, then extracted the bloodstains from it to form a single, complete drop of candle dragon blood.

After splitting off a quarter of the blood and handing it to Su Ming, Yan Bing finally put away the remaining portion.

"Brother Su, this place is full of dangers. Why don't we advance together?"

Su Ming's personal strength appeared insufficient, making him a complete burden to bring along, but his war pet more than made up for it.

With an additional Void Realm Peak combatant, the safety factor for exploring this Candle Dragon Secret Realm would increase by a notch.

"No, I'm more accustomed to being alone."

Su Ming returned to Shen Ming's head and turned to leave.

Watching Su Ming's departing back, someone leaned in toward Yan Bing and whispered, "Senior Brother, should we secretly follow him and take back that quarter of candle dragon blood?"

"Junior Brother Qiu, I advise you not to have such thoughts again... It would be extremely detrimental to our subsequent actions in the Candle Dragon Secret Realm. Do you understand?!"

Seeing Yan Bing so incensed, Junior Brother Qiu immediately shrank his neck and stopped speaking.

Yan Bing had worked hard to establish a good rapport with Su Ming, and then he was supposed to turn around and launch a sneak attack?

It would be fine if the sneak attack succeeded, but what if Su Ming survived?

As long as he returned to the Outer Void, it would mean absolute catastrophe for Shengyang Mountain.

Furthermore, even if they silenced him, the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts of the Su Family outside would surely sense it.

They had just confronted the Jade Pool Holy Land earlier; once an investigation began, it would be their Shengyang Mountain that suffered.

Having to face four Peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts, how could Shengyang Mountain possibly hold out?

After parting ways with Yan Bing and the others, Su Ming refined and absorbed the candle dragon blood in his hand.

After absorbing this mere quarter of candle dragon blood, Su Ming felt his Realm start to loosen.

"As expected of blood left behind by the Limitless Realm. Even after countless ages, it is still an incredibly terrifying medicinal treasure..."

Unfortunately, the heaven-reaching pagoda could not be used after entering this place. Otherwise, Su Ming would have definitely taken out some Cultivation resources and broken through to the seventh level of the Void Realm in one go.

Now, at only the sixth level of the Void Realm, he already possessed Void Realm Peak combat power. If he went up another level, his combat power could likely rival a half-step Creation Realm.

"Shen Ming, can you sense any more candle dragon blood like before?"

"I should be able to. Master, please wait..." After sensing carefully, Shen Ming replied, "Master, there is no blood like that nearby."

This stuff was rare to begin with; otherwise, only two drops would not have been found in total so far.

"Then let's keep moving forward."

Just as Su Ming finished speaking, Shen Ming suddenly stopped.

"Master, I sense candle dragon blood, but it's not the same kind as the one we just got..."

Another kind of candle dragon blood?

Su Ming could only think of one possibility.

So, he decisively activated his Heavens Mandate Vision to scan the surroundings.

The branches spreading out from the supreme heavenly mandate were currently located to his front right.

Since the opponent had practically delivered themselves to his door, wouldn't it be rude not to pay a visit?

Not to mention, he already had some history with the Dragon Court Dragon Clan.

Su Ming still vividly remembered the scene when the Dragon Court Dragon Clan invaded in force.

If his uncle Su Xiu hadn't appeared in time, the entire Qianyuan Continent would have been destroyed by the Dragon Court long ago.

Since they had met here early, they might as well settle both the new and old scores together.

It also happened that he hadn't laid a hand on a protagonist chosen by the Heavens Mandate for a while.

"Shen Ming, head over there. Let's go bleed it!"

"Yes, Master!" Shen Ming's tone carried a hint of ferocity and excitement.

The Reincarnation Dragon Centipede inherently harbored hatred for the true Dragon Clan.
