The ground here is no longer a desert, but covered by a layer of green grass.
Everyone followed, stepping out of the orange glow of the protective zone. With the day still early, there was ample ti to linger outside without worry.
Qin Su stopped a thousand ters away from the protective glow, to prevent Yang Xiao from running into the protective area for refuge upon defeat. He had made up his mind—he was going to kill Yang Xiao and snatch his rings. Whether the Space Ring could be used or not was a problem for later.
Yang Xiao rode the Fla Horse, with a Giant Eagle’s massive wings darkening the sky above him.
To show off, Qin Su wielded the teor Hamr alone, flourishing it with style. This teor Hamr was a peculiar weapon that converted all attack damage into electric shocks. As he swung it, electric arcs sparked along its surface, surrounding Qin Su with electric light for several ters.
It looked very imposing.
"Rumor has it that Qin Su broke through to the Enhanced Gene Interdiate stage yesterday. No wonder he’s so confident."
"His electric teor Hamr is really unique. Apart from electric damage, it also includes a 0.2-second dizziness effect. Once hit, if you can’t protect yourself during that 0.2 seconds, the consequences could be unthinkable."
"How co I feel like Yang Xiao is so greenhorn, with an air of ignorance about life and death?"
"Yeah, I think so too. Maybe this kid is the boss in Nanmu City, used to being arrogant, flaunting his wealth with Crystal Coins of the entire Nanmu City, buying a flashy Space Ring in the desert. Tsk, this place is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, all of them experts. Where does he get the entitlent to be haughty?"
...
Yang Xiao rode the Fla Horse slowly, occasionally leaning over its back and gently stroking it while whispering a few words.
Qin Su was very impatient with Yang Xiao’s dawdling behavior.
"Yang Xiao, stop dawdling, hurry up! Also, we agreed to a duel, so what’s the aning of that Giant Eagle above your head? If the Giant Eagle joins in, don’t bla us for not following the rules."
Qin Su was no fool and had a wary eye on the Giant Eagle in the sky. After all, the Giant Eagle was also a raptor at the Enhanced Gene Interdiate stage, and he had only just broken through to the sa stage. He could handle Yang Xiao alone, but he was not confident he could deal with both Yang Xiao and the Giant Eagle simultaneously.
Cai Liang then said:
"Yang Xiao, you and Qin Su agreed to a duel. If the Giant Eagle joins in, we’ll have people ready to deal with it imdiately. That’s the rule, ugly talk upfront!"
With a wave of his hand, imdiately three companions took out three golden Hard Bows, bent the bows, and aid their arrows at the Giant Eagle in the sky.
Upon seeing the three archers, the Fla Horse Yang Xiao was riding couldn’t help but roar in anger—it was they who had wounded it before. Luckily, it had run fast, or it would have been dead.
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"Rest assured, the Giant Eagle is just my pet. It goes wherever I go and won’t participate in the fight. However, this horse is my mount, and I must ride it. Do you have an opinion on that?"
"Well..."
Cai Liang hesitated for a mont. When they hunted this Fla Horse, it seed not to show any attack thods, just avoiding and escaping.
Qin Su, however, grew impatient and said:
"As long as the horse does not attack , it’s fine. You want to ride, then ride it. Stop dragging this out; the fight will be over in two or three moves. If you want to chicken out, it’s not too late. But the punishnt will be doubled, give the Space Ring in your hand."
"Ha ha ha..."
Yang Xiao sat on the back of the horse and let out a long, skyward laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Su said irritably. "Is your life not worth more than a ring?"
"Alright then, let’s see if you can take my Space Ring."
"Co on then!"
Qin Su gripped the Lightning teor Hamr in his hand, eyes fixed on Yang Xiao, on full alert.
Once he entered combat mode, he was never careless.
Yang Xiao patted the sweat-drenched Fla Horse and shouted loudly:
"Charge!"
With a fierce neigh, the Fla Horse lifted off with all four hooves off the ground, four flas of propitious clouds rising, speeding towards Qin Su like the wind and lightning.
All people saw was a red cloud drifting past their eyes.
Cai Liang’s heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding hitting him, and he yelled out loud,
"Qin Su, dodge quickly!"
Where could Qin Su dodge? Taking a quick step forward, he charged towards Yang Xiao, the teor Hamr in his hand turned into an electric arc, aiming straight for the head of the Fla Horse.
Shoot the horse before shooting the rider, capture the king before his n!
Qin Su had already planned it out when he agreed to let Yang Xiao join the battle on horseback; with one hamr blow, he would take down the Fla Horse, and wouldn’t Yang Xiao fall off?
He had even prepared for what was next – his second hamr blow would go straight for Yang Xiao, and two blows would end the fight.
Do you really think I’m an idiot, agreeing to let you fight on horseback?
However, Qin Su seed to forget sothing – just how fast the Fla Horse was.
As the teor Hamr turned into a streak of light, about to hit the red cloud,
That red cloud suddenly drifted sharply, turning direction, dodging the teor Hamr’s strike and coming from a different direction at breakneck speed.
Such speed, to everyone watching, was as fast as lightning and light.
As the red cloud vanished in a flash, everyone heard an "Ah".
When everyone refocused, they saw Yang Xiao on the Fla Horse had stopped running, now standing tens of ters away from Qin Su, holding the Longquan Spear in his hand, its silver tip stained with a hint of fresh red.
In this mont, Yang Xiao, atop the Fla Horse, looked majestic and awe-inspiring, full of valor, as if he despised the whole world.
Qin Su, anwhile, had his eyes wide open, dumbstruck, as if he couldn’t believe what had happened, a look of horror on his face.
Blood spurted from his throat, dyeing the green grass before him red.
With a thud,
Qin Su fell to the ground.
Cai Liang and others rushed over, yelling "Qin Su!"
Dead silence fell over the entire place, and the crowd inhaled sharply.
After a long while, soone ca to a sudden realization and said:
"That was brilliant, truly brilliant."
"Yang Xiao, riding on the Fla Horse, was like activating a cheat code, enhancing his Agility Attribute significantly. Not only could he easily avoid Qin Su’s attack, but he could also stab Qin Su to death like lightning."
"Terrifying indeed!"
"We all thought Yang Xiao was a fool; turns out, we were the real fools – such a big weakness, and none of us could see it coming."
"Indeed, he dares to carry a Space Ring worth over a million Crystal Coins, single-handedly venture deep into the desert, slay Mutant Monsters along the way, and arrive here safely. Without real skills, could it be possible?"
Suddenly, everyone’s impression of Yang Xiao underwent a drastic turnaround, and they lost all covetous thoughts towards his Space Ring.
anwhile, Cai Liang and others were frantically busy around the fallen Qin Su, feeding him three or four Small Blood Pills.
"It’s no use, his entire throat has been pierced by Yang Xiao’s long spear, not even an Immortal could save him now."
Soone sighed.

The fifth Chapter is additional for the reader 1710**4184 as thanks for the 5000 Qidian Coins gifted yesterday. Although the rule for additional Chapters is 10000 Qidian Coins, when he asked if I loved him, I could only express "I love you!" through my actions.
