"Enough nonsense, die!" Du Qingyang's face twisted, and he roared.

Before his voice faded, the Profound Apertures on his legs suddenly lit up. His feet slammed hard on the ground, and his figure blurred, as if he had teleported, instantly disappearing from where he stood.

In the next instant, Chen Yang heard a whistling sound beside his ear. Du Qingyang's two fingers, held together like a sharp dagger, pierced directly towards his temple.

Chen Yang's expression changed. He didn't have time to react at all and could only instinctively dodge to the side.

However, Du Qingyang was not willing to let him go. His footwork changed, and his body pressed close. A Profound Aperture on the pad of each of his fingers lit up, containing a powerful force that stabbed towards Chen Yang's temple.

Just at this critical moment, a loud "boom" resounded.

The stone door of the underground cave shattered open. A figure in a goose-yellow dress crashed through the stone door and struck Du Qingyang, who was about to kill Chen Yang with his fingers, from the side.

A dull "thump" echoed.

Du Qingyang's body seemed to have collided with an iron plate. He flew backwards for a hundred zhang, slammed into the opposite wall, and crashed to the ground.

He struggled to get up. The injuries he had barely suppressed finally gave way. He coughed up a mouthful of dark red blood that splattered like rain on the ground.

Du Qingyang clutched his bloody chest and staggered back a few steps, leaning against the dark stone wall, barely managing to support himself. His legs trembled violently, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.

He looked up at the figure who had broken down the door, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He asked,

"Gu Qianxun? How could it be you!"

Facing him from afar, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chen Yang, the graceful figure in goose-yellow was none other than Gu Qianxun, the chief Profound Fighter of the first district of the Profound Battle Arena.

"Why can't it be me? I've been waiting for this day for thirty thousand years," Gu Qianxun said faintly, staring at Du Qingyang with her cold, unwavering bright eyes.

"Thirty thousand years? Who exactly are you?" Du Qingyang said coldly.

"It seems your memory isn't very good. Let me remind you. Do you remember that woman you secretly captured from Xuanzhi City back then?" Gu Qianxun's eyes flickered slightly as she slowly spoke.

"Xuanzhi City... could it be..." Du Qingyang's face darkened.

"Back then, in this very place, you used this very same Garuda Blood Array to extract the True Spirit Bloodline from her body, causing her to explode and die, not even leaving a complete corpse," Gu Qianxun said, taking a deep breath, her lips trembling slightly.

"Yan Hongyu... What are you to her?" Du Qingyang's expression changed slightly, and he asked.

"Shut up! You're not worthy to utter my mother's name!" Gu Qianxun's face suddenly became abnormally ferocious, and she roared.

"No wonder... More than six thousand years ago, you took the initiative to come to my Qingyang City and requested to join the Profound Battle Arena. You must have been planning this all along, right? What patience!" Du Qingyang sneered and asked.

"Haha... For today, what does it matter if I wait another thirty thousand years? Fortunately, heaven hasn't forsaken me, and I've finally waited. You want to repeat your old tricks, but I've already laid out my plans in secret. Your subordinates have long been disloyal to you," Gu Qianxun laughed wildly and shouted loudly.

"Very well! So, Hu Ben's death was related to you?" Du Qingyang glanced at Chen Yang, then his eyes fell on Gu Qianxun again, and he said, word by word.

Gu Qianxun just sneered and didn't speak.

Du Qingyang spat out a mouthful of thick blood to the side and said, "Since you mother and daughter are so affectionate, today I will use the power of the bloodline she left behind to send you to meet her in the underworld..."

After saying this, Du Qingyang suddenly closed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and roared.

Immediately afterward, a mottled color suddenly appeared on the surface of his body. An extremely dense layer of tiny scales emerged, emitting a camouflage illusion under the light of the braziers in the cave.

Crab Daoren, attracted by the commotion, slightly shifted his gaze from Han Li and glanced over here, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and muttered to himself, "Illusory Scale Rainbow Snake, quite rare indeed..."

Gu Qianxun's face suddenly darkened when she saw this scene, as if she had been stabbed in a sore spot, and she became extremely angry.

"Du old thief, you're courting death!"

She roared, and the Profound Apertures on her legs lit up one after another. Her body leaned slightly forward, and she shot out like a cheetah that had perfectly built up its momentum. Her speed was extremely fast, and she rushed towards Du Qingyang.

As the two figures passed each other, Gu Qianxun reached out a palm, her five fingers close together like a knife, and stabbed fiercely at Du Qingyang's throat.

Du Qingyang didn't know if it was because he was seriously injured and couldn't dodge in time, or if he didn't want to dodge at all, but he endured this blow to his fragile throat.

A clear collision sound rang out, but Du Qingyang's throat did not break.

His throat scales shimmered with five colors, and his throat seemed to shrink back like a spring, then bulge forward again, transmitting the powerful force of Gu Qianxun's strike towards his chest.

At this moment, his body seemed to have turned into a boneless python, extremely soft. Every muscle in his body vibrated at the same frequency, eventually transmitting the force into the ground, while he himself remained unaffected.

This action seemed long, but in reality, it only took an instant for him to defuse Gu Qianxun's all-out attack.

At the same time, as Du Qingyang's body trembled, a palm swung up from the side and slapped towards Gu Qianxun's face.

Seeing this, Gu Qianxun stepped aside and threw a punch at him.

Countless Profound Apertures lit up on her arm, and a powerful invisible force surged out, instantly tearing her sleeves open, revealing a rather slender, snow-white arm.

The slightly raised muscle texture on this arm was very obvious, making one feel its explosive power with the naked eye.

In an instant, fist and palm met!

A burst of sound suddenly rang out, and a powerful impact force exploded between the two.

Du Qingyang trembled his whole body like a python, diverting this force to the ground, but his body still retreated involuntarily, kicking against the stone wall behind him to stop.

Gu Qianxun was directly struck by this force and flew backward, crashing heavily into the wall on the other side.

"Rumble..."

Large pieces of the wall collapsed, burying her figure.

Chen Yang's expression couldn't help but turn ugly when he saw this scene. He had thought that Du Qingyang should have been severely injured by the backlash of the blood array, but he didn't expect that the other party still had such powerful combat strength.

"Chen Yang, I have always treated you well, but you treat me like this. Now, it's your turn..." Du Qingyang turned his eyes, looked at Chen Yang, and sneered.

Dark red lines began to appear around his eyes, and half of his already ugly face became even more hideous and distorted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Qingyang's figure shot out. He rushed to Chen Yang like lightning and grabbed towards Chen Yang's heart.

The latter dodged, barely avoiding it, but the bone armor on his chest was scratched by Du Qingyang's fingers, leaving several deep marks.

Before Chen Yang could finish being shocked, Du Qingyang's body suddenly stretched and lengthened, twisting around his waist and abdomen like a colored scale python. A cold, slippery touch and an extremely powerful squeezing force followed.

Chen Yang clenched his fists and roared. All the Profound Apertures on his body lit up, and a burst of tyrannical power erupted from his body, trying to break Du Qingyang, who was wrapped around him.

As a result, Du Qingyang's body only loosened slightly before tightening again.

At the same time, his mouth opened wide, his mouth corners seemed to tear open, and his entire mouth split and expanded several times, truly turning into a python's bloody maw that snapped down towards Chen Yang's head.

Chen Yang struggled desperately, but it was to no avail. He could only raise an arm and punch Du Qingyang with all his strength.

Just as his head was about to be bitten off by the Illusory Scale Rainbow Snake, a piece of snow-white light suddenly lit up in the rubble under the opposite wall. A burst of sound rang out, and the rubble exploded.

Gu Qianxun's figure rushed out, reaching out and taking off a circle of white bone spine chains wrapped around her waist. They shot out like a snake spitting out its tongue, stabbing towards the Illusory Scale Rainbow Snake.

A sharp "clang" echoed.

The triangular bone at the tip of the white bone spine chain, flashing with a cold light, pierced Du Qingyang's cheek, instantly drawing a string of dark red sparks.

Du Qingyang's cheek was unharmed, but his head tilted slightly under the force, and he bit Chen Yang on the shoulder, the sharp teeth in his mouth sinking deeply into his shoulder blade.

Gu Qianxun's expression changed again and again when she saw this, but she still refused to give up, and flew over with a tap of her toes.

With a flick of her wrist, the dozens of zhang long white bone spine chain suddenly clanged, and the white bones on it quickly contracted, turning into a four-foot long white bone longsword.

She lit up all the Profound Apertures in her body, raised the muscles on her arms, held the sword with both hands, and twisted several times in mid-air like a nimble swallow, exerting her full strength and slashing down towards Du Qingyang's head.

"Whoosh..."

A whistling wind sounded, and a crack seemed to appear in the void.

With a "poof", the white bone longsword slashed on Du Qingyang's cheek, and a line of bright red blood spurted out.

The blood-soaked sword blade broke through Du Qingyang's skin, cut open his skull, but ultimately failed to kill him with one blow, severing his entire head, but was stuck in his cheek bones.

Gu Qianxun's pupils shrank slightly when she saw this, and a sense of powerlessness couldn't help but appear in her heart.

Her almost all-out strike still failed to kill Du Qingyang.
