Ten streams of true qi hovered behind Long Er, each one almost tangible, emitting a radiant white glow, dazzlingly brilliant.
Amidst the wind and snow.
Long Er’s aura suddenly shifted, as if he were a deity, invincible.
The crowd was stunned.
No one had expected Long Er to have cultivated ten streams of true qi.
“Ten streams of true qi, the first time I’ve ever seen such a thing.”
“No wonder he’s Second Master, truly a matchless figure.”
“This is Second Master’s true strength, those five are doomed.”
Old Master Ye’s face grew grave.
Old Tang’s eyes were filled with worry.
The War God and the others’ hearts sank to rock bottom.
When Long Er had only unleashed nine streams of true qi, he could already repel all five of them, now with ten streams, how could they possibly fight?
This battle was perilous!
“Damn it, this old monster was hiding his cultivation after all.”
Amid his shock, Ye Qiu thought of another issue.
“Isn’t it said that cultivating ten streams of acquired true qi allows one to step into the path of immortality?”
“Once you enter the path of immortality, you gain godlike abilities.”
“But why does Long Er not seem like an immortal cultivator?”
Ye Qiu’s question was soon answered.
Long Er looked at the five and laughed, “I’ve been in seclusion for so many years, if I hadn’t made a massive breakthrough, why would I come out?”
“Let me tell you, I’ve now cultivated ten streams of true qi, one foot already in the door of immortality, once I pass the heavenly tribulation, I’ll become a true immortal cultivator.”
Ye Qiu gleaned a crucial piece of information from Long Er’s words.
“To become an immortal cultivator, cultivating ten streams of true qi isn’t enough, one must also pass the heavenly tribulation.”
“Then why is it that every time I cultivate innate true qi, a heavenly tribulation appears?”
Ye Qiu was puzzled.
At that moment, Long Er’s voice continued.
“After killing you lot, I’ll go face my tribulation.”
Thud!
Long Er stomped the ground, his body soaring into the air, hovering ten metres above, pointing at the War God and the others, shouting, “Come and meet your death.”
The five stood their ground, unmoving, facing such a formidable foe, none dared act rashly.
After all, this was a peerless powerhouse with one foot in the door of immortality!
“Why aren’t you moving?”
Seeing the five remain still, Long Er laughed, “Didn’t you say you had no intention of leaving alive? Scared now?”
“A bunch of useless fools!”
The five ignored Long Er’s taunts.
“What do we do?” Ye Wudi asked.
“At this point, we can only fight to the death,” the War God said gravely, “But we need a strategy.”
“The five of us must work together.”
“If we coordinate well, we might just take him down.”
“What do you think?”
The War God asked Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu nodded, saying, “I agree with your plan, the four of you attack, create an opportunity for me to deliver the killing blow.”
“Alright,” the War God and the others agreed instantly.
“Be careful, everyone,” Ye Qiu said, stepping aside to open a wooden box, retrieving the Emperor Sword and gripping it tightly.
Clang!
Ye Qiu held the Emperor Sword, pointing at Long Er and shouting, “Just ten streams of true qi, what’s there to be arrogant about?”
“Do you know how your brothers died?”
“They all fell under my sword.”
Fury flashed in Long Er’s eyes as he roared, “Ye Qiu, today I’ll grind you to dust.”
Ye Qiu continued to provoke Long Er with words, “Your brothers said the same thing back then, but what happened? I still killed them.”
“Long Er, less boasting.”
“Be careful, or I’ll send you to join your brothers soon.”
“Courting death!” Long Er roared in rage, his body diving through the air towards Ye Qiu.
His aura was so overwhelming that the air rumbled terrifyingly wherever he passed, sending chills through the onlookers.
“Kill!”
Ye Qiu let out a battle cry, and the five charged at Long Er together.
The battle erupted.
Long Er effortlessly blocked the attacks from the War God and the others, then made a beeline for Ye Qiu.
He despised Ye Qiu with a passion.
“Crack!”
Long Er flipped mid-air, plummeting swiftly, his palm striking towards Ye Qiu’s head, and even from metres away, Ye Qiu felt a thick aura of death.
Whoosh!
Ye Qiu shifted his steps, dodging to the side.
But Long Er was faster.
As soon as Ye Qiu steadied himself, Long Er’s right palm was just a metre from his head.
“Die!”
A roar came from the side, Ye Wudi swung the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, slashing horizontally.
The blade’s shadow flickered.
Killing intent surged.
Long Er seemed unfazed, his left hand swiftly striking out, “Clang!” Ye Wudi was sent flying.
It wasn’t that Ye Wudi was weak, on the contrary, he was very strong, but against a monster like Long Er, he was still outmatched.
Long Er’s right palm rapidly closed in on Ye Qiu’s head.
Ye Qiu shifted positions again.
Long Er followed like a shadow, his palm pressing down.
“Swish!”
Master Du’e sent a sword qi slicing towards Long Er from afar.
Long Er countered with a palm, shattering the sword qi, the powerful force sending Master Du’e flying.
Long Er’s right palm drew ever closer to Ye Qiu’s head.
“Dodge!”
Ye Qiu’s body moved like a gust of wind, rushing out to escape Long Er.
But Long Er was determined to kill Ye Qiu, pursuing relentlessly, his palm aiming for Ye Qiu’s head again.
Ye Qiu kept dodging, Long Er kept chasing.
The onlookers’ eyes widened, unable to track Ye Qiu and Long Er’s movements, seeing only two blurs constantly shifting directions.
“Kid, stop hiding.”
“It’s useless.”
“In the face of absolute power, no matter how you dodge, you can’t escape death.”
“Accept your fate!”
Long Er suddenly sped up, his palm pressing towards Ye Qiu’s head.
Ye Qiu knew that dodging endlessly wasn’t a solution, his cultivation was far inferior to Long Er’s, and continuing like this, even if he didn’t die by Long Er’s hand, he’d exhaust his strength and be unable to deliver the killing blow.
After a moment’s thought,
He made a decision.
Ye Qiu suddenly stopped.
“Finally ready to embrace death? Good,” Long Er sneered coldly.
At that moment, the War God and Dragon Lady arrived, attacking Long Er simultaneously from different directions.
Long Er spun rapidly, using both feet to block the War God and Dragon Lady.
At this point, his palm was just twenty centimetres from Ye Qiu’s head.
“Die!”
Long Er’s face was full of killing intent, his palm pressing down hard.
At the critical moment.
Ye Qiu launched a desperate counterattack.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Six streams of sword qi burst forth wildly, and at the same time, a terrifying chill erupted from his body.
“Buzz!”
Three hundred sixty sword qi, each over a metre long, appeared out of nowhere, then swiftly condensed into a massive sword shadow, towering in the air, its killing intent earth-shaking.
Long Er shattered the six streams of sword qi with one palm, then threw a left fist, instantly disintegrating the massive sword shadow in the air.
Ye Qiu felt a chill of fear.
He hadn’t expected his two ultimate moves, the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Killing Art, to be so ineffective against Long Er.
In desperation.
Ye Qiu swung his sword at Long Er’s right palm.
