“Hmm?”
Ye Qiu’s expression shifted slightly. He had clearly killed that holy knight, so why was it standing again?
It was too bizarre!
Ye Qiu activated his heavenly eye, scanned it, and was shocked to find that the holy knight had no trace of life force. In other words, the holy knight was truly dead.
But how could a dead person stand up?
Ye Qiu looked at the other twenty-nine holy knights and discovered that they, too, had no life force. They were all dead.
“Are these a group of death knights?”
“If they’re dead, how can they still move freely?”
Suddenly, Ye Qiu thought of the corpse drivers of Xiangxi.
Corpse drivers also had mysterious techniques to control corpses and make them move freely. Could these holy knights be controlled by someone as well?
“Isn’t it surprising?”
Max’s laughter rang out. “These holy knights all possess immortal bodies. No matter how you kill them, they won’t die.”
“So, even if your combat strength is extraordinary, they can wear you down to death.”
Ye Qiu sneered. “Don’t try to scare me. You think I can’t see through it? They don’t have immortal bodies. They’re just a bunch of walking corpses controlled by someone.”
A glint of murderous intent flashed in Max’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to uncover the secret of the holy knights.
But it didn’t matter if he found out, because Ye Qiu would soon be a dead man.
“You’ve killed so many guardians of various nations. After you’re dead, I’ll turn you into one of these holy knights. Then, I’ll let people from every nation take a swing at you, so even in death, you won’t find peace.”
Max waved his hand. “Go!”
Instantly, the thirty holy knights charged towards Ye Qiu in unison.
As they rushed towards him, their bodies erupted with powerful energy, each one at the peak of the Venerable realm.
If they were living Venerable experts, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be fazed, but these were dead men, which made eliminating them somewhat troublesome.
“What method can I use to wipe them all out?”
Suddenly, Ye Qiu thought of a technique.
He made no attempt to defend himself, allowing the holy knights to rush towards him.
Just as the group of holy knights was about to attack Ye Qiu, golden light suddenly burst from his body.
Following that, golden runes appeared around Ye Qiu, resembling copper coins, thousands of them swirling around him.
“Buzz!”
The golden light shone brightly, enveloping the thirty holy knights.
Max laughed. “It’s useless. No matter what technique you use, you can’t destroy the holy knights. They are one of our family’s trump cards, battle-hardened and invincible…”
Pfft!
Before Max could finish, he watched in shock as one holy knight’s body turned to dust, dissipating into the wind, never to reappear.
“What’s going on?”
Max’s eyelid twitched.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft!”
At that moment, the remaining twenty-nine holy knights also turned to dust one after another, vanishing into the air.
“Holy knights? Hah, nothing special!”
Ye Qiu sneered, retracting the golden light emanating from his body.
“You, what kind of sorcery did you use?” Max’s voice began to stammer.
His heart was now filled with terror.
Others might not know the power of the holy knights, but he knew very well. These holy knights were one of the Rodell family’s trump cards, having served the family for centuries and made great contributions.
The Rodell family possessed immense wealth, which attracted the envy of many around the world, all dreaming of destroying the Rodell family to become rich overnight.
However, whether it was assassins, super gangs, or powerful cultivators, they all failed.
Among them, even a few peak King realm experts had died at the hands of the holy knights.
The holy knights were already dead, unable to feel pain. No matter what damage was inflicted, they could continue fighting.
Moreover, when the thirty holy knights attacked together, their combat power was terrifying.
Max never imagined that Ye Qiu would remain unscathed and effortlessly destroy the thirty holy knights.
It was too shocking!
Too unbelievable!
“I’m not afraid of the living, let alone a bunch of dead men.” Ye Qiu didn’t tell Max that he had used the Divine Scripture.
The Divine Scripture not only made him immune to all evils but was also the nemesis of all malevolent forces.
That was why the thirty holy knights were so easily destroyed by him.
“What other trump cards do you have? Bring them out now, or you’re going to hell soon.”
Ye Qiu spoke coldly, his voice devoid of mercy.
Max knew that if he couldn’t kill Ye Qiu today, he and his clan would die at Ye Qiu’s hands.
Immediately, he turned towards the depths of the castle, bowed deeply, and said loudly, “The family is in grave danger. Please, Ancestor, come out of seclusion!”
Boom!
A jet-black beam of light shot out from the depths of the castle, like a bolt of lightning, aiming straight for Ye Qiu’s forehead.
Its speed was unbelievably fast.
Ye Qiu felt a chill run through him, sensing an overwhelming killing intent.
At the same time, he saw clearly that the black beam was a war spear.
The war spear carried a domineering aura, radiating divine might, as if it transcended the constraints of time and space, stunning through the ages, capable of piercing the heavens.
Ye Qiu quickly retreated, positioning four Qiankun Cauldrons in front of him to block the spear.
“Clang!”
The war spear struck the Qiankun Cauldrons, producing a deafening sound. The next second, the four cauldrons were sent flying.
The spear pierced through all obstacles, continuing towards Ye Qiu’s forehead.
Its killing intent was unmatched!
Ye Qiu’s heart jolted. Though the spear’s master hadn’t appeared, the killing intent alone was enough to prove that its owner was an unparalleled expert.
However, no matter how powerful the spear was, it couldn’t harm Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu swiftly grabbed one Qiankun Cauldron and smashed it down. With a “clang,” the war spear was sent flying back.
Whoosh!
A figure appeared, grasping the war spear, standing atop the castle.
It was an old man.
He was extremely aged, with long white hair reaching his waist, a face full of wrinkles, sunken eye sockets, and pursed lips, looking as if a gust of wind could knock him over.
But Ye Qiu didn’t underestimate him. Instead, his expression grew grave.
Because this old man was an unparalleled powerhouse.
Though his cultivation was also at the peak of the King realm, he was far stronger than an ordinary peak King.
“This old guy is terrifying.”
Ye Qiu thought to himself.
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
Max and the servants beside him all bowed to the old man.
Then,
Max said to the old man, “Ancestor, this man killed my son. Just now, he also killed the guardians of eighteen nations. He wants to destroy our family. Please, Ancestor, kill him…”
“Silence!” The old man snapped coldly, causing Max’s heart to skip a beat.
The old man looked at Ye Qiu and said calmly, “You may leave!”
