56: Chapter 56 You really think you're something special?

"Boss?"

The moment Jiang Mingyue saw that familiar figure, she was momentarily stunned.

But then, as if realizing something, her expression changed drastically, and she shouted urgently, "Don't come over! Run!"

Ning Yuan's strength might be a notch above hers.

But that was only within the scope of the Qi and Blood Realm!

What they were facing now was a genuine peak fifth-stage Prodigy!

A terrifying existence capable of taking on a sixth-stage powerhouse head-on!

The massive gap between realms could not be easily bridged by Qi and blood power alone!

In her view, even if she and Ning Yuan joined forces, they would be no match for this Rock Giant!

Hearing this, a wave of warmth flowed through Ning Yuan's heart.

"Heh, my 'Number Two' usually acts like an unreliable tsundere, but at this critical moment, she's still thinking of her boss."

In the distance, Jin Jiao, who had just scrambled up from the ground, saw Ning Yuan appear, and his eyes instantly burst with ecstatic light!

"Hahaha! There is a path to heaven you won't take, but you insist on barging into hell where there is no door!"

He roared ferociously at Yan Kuang.

"Yan Kuang! Forget about that brat! Kill this Ning guy for me! No! Don't kill him yet! Capture him for me!"

He sneered, his heart filled with endless satisfaction.

Originally, he had planned to settle scores with Ning Yuan slowly after successfully stepping into the Transcendent realm.

He hadn't expected this damned guy to deliver himself right to his doorstep!

"Yes, Highness!" Yan Kuang replied with a grin.

To be able to kill two peerless human geniuses here at once!

This would definitely be a massive achievement!

Jiang Mingyue watched the figure still rushing toward her, her heart filled with anxiety.

"Ning Yuan! You idiot, is this the time to play the hero?"

"Listen to me! I'll find a way to block him! You go first! I have my own way to escape!"

As she spoke, Yan Kuang's mountain-like giant fist struck out again!

Boundless elemental energy, combined with his unique bloodline power, transformed into physical rock fist imprints in mid-air!

Like falling meteors, they covered the sky, enveloping both Ning Yuan and Jiang Mingyue!

Seeing this, Jiang Mingyue could only grit her teeth. The Crescent Moon Phantom behind her shone brightly as she tried to divert the fist imprints to buy Ning Yuan some time to escape.

On the other side, Jin Jiao also sneered and charged toward Ning Yuan!

"Yan Kuang! You go kill that pretty boy first! Leave this Ning guy to me!"

He glared viciously at Ning Yuan.

"Last time at the Academy Tournament, I was careless and let you succeed with a sneak attack! This time, don't think you can defeat me as easily as before!"

In his mind, the reason he lost so miserably last time was purely because he hadn't had time to use his full strength before being intimidated by the opponent's strange phenomenon.

He also saw the situation clearly.

If Ning Yuan and that equally freakish pretty boy joined forces, taking them down might take some effort and could even lead to complications.

After all, this was the Dragon Clan Ruins, full of hidden dangers. Although Yan Kuang was strong, he wasn't invincible. It would be bad if they attracted some freakish Dragon-blooded creature.

It would be better for him to stall the stronger Ning Yuan first.

Once Yan Kuang dealt with that pretty boy with thunderous momentum and returned, the two of them could easily handle Ning Yuan together!

Radiant golden divine light erupted from Jin Jiao's body once more, emitting a holy and majestic aura!

His powerful golden Qi and blood surged like a great golden river across the sky!

However, as Ning Yuan watched his self-righteous posture, the corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.

"Who gave you the courage?"

Boom!!!

The moment the words fell!

The phantom of the immortal ancient star behind him suddenly manifested!

Boundless Dragon Elephant Divine Power surged into his body!

He threw a simple punch at the charging Jin Jiao!

Jin Jiao's pupils were instantly filled with an unprecedented, absolute terror!

A sense of crisis originating from death itself enveloped his entire mind!

"He..."

He couldn't even shout out a complete "Help."

Boom!!!

From Ning Yuan's seemingly calm fist, a terrifying power erupted, like the overturning of a sea of stars or the collapsing of heaven and earth!

It was unstoppable!

That punch first easily shattered the Protective Golden Light around Jin Jiao!

Then, without losing momentum, it landed on his physical body!

Finally, that matchless, terrifying power completely obliterated him, along with his soul, into nothingness!

Jin Jiao was dead!

One punch, an instant kill!

Ning Yuan slowly withdrew his fist, his tone indifferent, as if he had only done something insignificant.

"Back at the academy, I just wasn't being serious with you. Do you really think you're something special?"

With his current perfect foundation of one hundred million catties, coupled with the supreme power of the Myriad Tribulations Star Dome Dragon Elephant Scripture...

A so-called Prodigy of Jin Jiao's level was no different from an ant that could be crushed at will in front of him.

Before, in a public setting like the Academy Tournament, it wasn't convenient for him to use his full strength.

But now, this was an Ancient Ruin full of dangers!

Since the opponent had already shown murderous intent, he naturally wouldn't hold back anymore!

"Number Two" was one of his own.

As for that Yan Clan fellow...

He would be a dead man soon, too.

No need to worry about exposure.

After a brief silence.

Jiang Mingyue's eyes widened, and her breathing became rapid!

"This guy... how can he be so terrifying?"

She had fought Jin Jiao herself!

Although she could also easily suppress him...

To achieve an instant kill with a casual punch like Ning Yuan...

This was just too much!

That wasn't some random nobody on the street!

That was a top-tier Prodigy of the Golden God Clan, capable of ranking among the best in the starry sky within the Qi and Blood Realm!

She felt a bit dazed.

But soon, this daze turned into boundless excitement!

It seemed they might not have to run today!

As long as she joined forces with this freakish guy, they definitely had a chance against Yan Kuang!

On the other side, Yan Kuang also looked at the empty space before him in disbelief.

How could Prince Jin Jiao be killed so quickly?

This HumanKid named Ning Yuan actually hid such terrifying strength!

But then, this disbelief turned into a heaven-shaking fury!

His eyes, made of rock, instantly turned blood-red, and he let out an angry roar toward the sky!

He wasn't grieving for Jin Jiao's death.

There was no affection between them to speak of.

He was angry because Jin Jiao was dead, and as a member of a subordinate race responsible for protection, he would surely face extremely severe punishment upon returning to his clan!

"You deserve to die!"

"Both of you must die today!"

Yan Kuang let out an angry roar!

His body expanded wildly again, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a terrifying Rock Giant twenty zhang tall, like a moving mountain!

Killing them both might slightly make up for the mistake of Jin Jiao's death.

Ning Yuan just impatiently picked his ear.

"Stop barking like a dog."

"It'll be your turn soon!"

The moment the words fell, he slammed his foot onto the ground!

Boom!

The ground shook and the mountains swayed!

He shot out like an arrow from a bow, actively charging toward the towering Rock Giant!
