"What? It's gone!" Ye Xiao was shocked greatly when he saw the wooden pillar disappearing. Suddenly, his expression changed, "It's behind me!"
At some point in time, the wooden pillar about three meters long appeared behind Ye Xiao. It was smashing down with a great force on Ye Xiao's head. Wherever it passed, everything in its path seems to be crushed and the sound of a huge tree rolling could be heard. It made Ye Xiao feel as if he had fallen into a primitive forest. The towering trees in all directions collapsed together.
Before the wooden pillar even arrived, the ground with Ye Xiao as the center had already cracked open like a spider web!
Ye Xiao was shocked to see the strength displayed by the old man. This strength alone was enough to take down a martial artist at the Late Stage of the Immortal King Realm.
Ye Xiao could not understand how Wang Mayan was able to show the prowess of a Late-Stage Immortal King Realm martial artist with his cultivation base at the Early Stage of the Immortal King Realm.
But this was not important right now..
The most important thing was to deal with the coming strike of the wooden pillar.
"Spirit Devour Escape!"
"Bang!"
With a flash, Ye Xiao immediately disappeared from the place where he was standing and it was also the moment when the wooden pillar crashed on the ground.
The ground within a few dozen feet where the wooden pillar landed, exploded with a loud bang, forming a deep pit!
Ye Xiao could feel the ground constantly shaking!
At this time, Wang Mayan was breathing heavily. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead. His face was pale and colourless. He was almost exhausted!
This "Great Pillars Technique" was his most powerful killing technique. Not only was it extremely powerful, but it was also extremely destructive. The most important thing was that it was unpredictable. It was impossible to guard against it.
What was more, his cultivation would increase by two minor stages for a moment when he was about to execute this technique. Although the increase in cultivation would be only for less than a breath of time, it was enough to kill a powerful enemy.
He had previously used this skill to kill many experts, but the side effects were not small either. He only used this skill once and almost used up all of the spirit energy in his body. If he could not kill the enemy with a single strike, he would be the one to die. Unless it was a life or death situation, he never dare to use this move lightly!
But very quickly, a trace of complacency climbed up on Wang Mayan's face when he looked at the scene where he caused destruction. He thought that he had killed Ye Xiao so he said, "You died under my wooden pillar technique! It's your honour to die under my Great Pillars Technique!"
As he spoke, he tremblingly walked towards Ye Xiao, preparing to collect his spoils of war.
In the eyes of the old man, for Ye Xiao to have such combat strength at such a young age, he must have had some incredible fortuitous encounters. But now, all of this will belong to him!
Right at this moment, the old man heard a voice that made him tremble in shock.
"Oh! So the technique you previously used was called the Wooden Pillar Technique? Not bad, hah!"
The old man hurriedly looked in the direction from where the voice came and his expression changed drastically. He saw Ye Xiao standing not far away from him unscratched.
"Impossible, this isn't true. No one can take my wooden stick attack head-on and not die. This must be an illusion." Wang Mayan shouted at the top of his lungs as if he had gone mad.
Wang Mayan really couldn't believe that the wooden pillar skill was unable to even injure Ye Xiao. This technique was his strongest killing move. It was a deadly strike that had gathered all of Wang Mayan's power, and the power contained within it was extremely terrifying.
"Old man, you failed to kill me and from the looks of your pale and sweaty face, I can tell that you no longer have any strength to fight. Since that's the case, let me end this game." Ye Xiao looked at Wang Mayan and said coldly.
Previously, he was really surprised. The martial arts skill that Wang Mayan used to try to kill him was extremely strong. Maybe, its rank was no less than the High Grade Immortal Rank Technique.
Ye Xiao took a step forward and started approaching Wang Mayan step by step. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"What do you want?" Wang Mayan could not help but take a few steps back. He had just used the Great Pillar Technique lost all his strength to fight. The current Wang Mayan was already exhausted completely. He was almost the same as an old man who was on the verge of dying. Even an ordinary Late Stage Immortal Lord Realm martial artist could take his life right now.
"Of course I want to kill you!" Ye Xiao looked down at Wang Mayan and replied. There was a trace of 'a cat toying with a mouse' on his face.
"Don't kill me, I don't want the Immortal Spirit Grass anymore. You can keep it!" Wang Mayan continued to retreat and shouted. His voice was slightly trembling.
"Just because you said you don't want it, you want me to let you go? How can there be such a simple thing in this world!" Ye Xiao replied emotionlessly. In his eyes, this old man was more valuable than the Immortal Spirit Grass because the moment Wang Mayan used the Great Pillar Technique, Little Yellow send a message in Ye Xiao's mind.
She could see everything that was happening outside of the Universe in his mind. She sensed the wood energy in Wang Mayan's body and told Ye Xiao that Wang Mayan had a rare Wood Blossom Bloodline.
According to Little Yellow, Wood Blossom Bloodline could increase the recovery ability, then be it the recovery from heavy injuries or recovery of the lost spirit energy.
This was the first time Ye Xiao came in contact with a person with Bloodline. He had heard of bloodlines and learned about them from the memories of the three Ancient Gods. What was more, Wood Blossom Bloodline was a rare wood-type bloodline. Ye Xiao now wanted this Bloodline for himself.
"Don't kill me!" Wang Mayan's entire body twitched and his knees went soft. He actually knelt down on the ground and his voice was filled with tears. He said: "It's all my fault. I should not have coveted your Immortal Spirit Grass. I'm already so old and I don't have many years left to live. Please show mercy and spare my life. As long as you let me go, I can give you my entire life's collection."
The older a person was, the more afraid they would be of death. Sometimes, these words weren't wrong at all. Wang Mayan really didn't want to die. He even said that he should not have coveted Ye Xiao's Immortal Spirit Grass when in reality, the Immortal Spirit Grass was his.
"Soul Destruction!"
Without saying anything, Ye Xiao used the Soul Destruction and destroyed Wang Mayan's soul immediately.
A martial artist at the Early Stage of the Immortal King Realm was killed instantly.
"Devour!"
Ye Xiao placed his hand on the dead body of Wang Mayan and immediately started devouring the Wood Blossom Bloodline from the old man's body.
Not long after, the devouring was completed. Now, he started merging with the Wood Blossom Bloodline.
A stream of very comfortable but cold energy surged in Ye Xiao's body and started fusing with his blood. At this moment, Ye Xiao really felt an extremely comfortable sensation.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao could feel the wood energy in the air. He could feel the flow of energy in the trees nearby. He could sense a few Low Grade Immortal Herbs around away from him 800 meters away from him.
"Success!"
The fusion with the Wood Blossom Bloodline was completed. Ye Xiao now have the Ice Elemental Body and Wood Blossom Bloodline.0
After fusing with the Wood Blossom Bloodline, Ye Xiao's attention was attracted by a dim light-blue light at the finger of the old man. It was the spatial ring that Wang Mayan was wearing on his finger.
Ye Xiao stretched out his hand and took out the spatial ring from the old man's finger. Ye Xiao checked the spatial ring and found many Immortal Herbs but all of them were Low Grade and some of them were Middle Grade Immortal Herbs.
But there was one thing that attracted his attention. This thing was a martial arts skill book.
Ye Xiao took out this book and saw the name written on top of the cover page, which was: "Great Pillar Technique!"
