Ye Qiu’s face changed drastically. He hadn’t expected Dragon Two to rise from the ground again.
The crowd was equally shocked.
“Did Second Master survive the tribulation?”
“Does that mean Second Master has become an immortal cultivator?”
“Great, that Ye Qiu kid is finally done for, haha…”
Ye Qiu, summoning all his strength, gripped the Emperor Sword tightly, preparing to charge and kill Dragon Two.
At that moment.
“Clang!”
Dragon Two’s body fell straight to the ground again.
The sudden turn left everyone dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?”
“Did Second Master fail the tribulation?”
“Second Master was just one step from becoming an immortal cultivator, but he failed at the last moment.”
“Second Master, Second Master…”
Among the spectators, some even began to cry, as if it wasn’t Dragon Two who died but their own father.
While some grieved, others rejoiced.
Ye Wudi and the others let out a long breath, smiles appearing on their faces.
“Finally dead.”
“Ye Qiu’s incredible, using the tribulation to kill Dragon Two.”
“Now only Dragon One remains.”
Everyone looked at Dragon One, who stood with a calm expression, showing no trace of sorrow.
“Something’s off.”
Old Master Ye said gravely, “Dragon Two is dead, so why is Dragon One so calm?”
Ye Wudi smiled, “Father, no need to worry. When Zhuge Yun was killed on the spot, wasn’t Dragon One indifferent too?”
“Dragon Two is different from Zhuge Yun,” Old Master Ye said. “Dragon Two is his brother.”
Ye Wudi replied, “Perhaps at Dragon One’s level, he can achieve supreme detachment.”
“Humans aren’t plants; who can truly detach? Especially when it’s their own brother,” Old Master Ye said. “There’s something strange here.”
Ye Wudi dismissively said, “Father, I think you’re just too tense…”
Before he finished.
“Cough, cough…”
A cough suddenly sounded, and Dragon Two’s charred body twitched.
No way?
Ye Wudi’s face changed dramatically.
The next second, Dragon Two slowly stood up. Though his body was blackened like dry wood, his eyes shone with divine light.
Then, a series of “crack, crack, crack” sounds rang out, piercing in the silent scene.
The charred skin on Dragon Two’s body peeled away, revealing new, jade-like skin, as smooth as a thirteen-year-old’s.
“Second Master isn’t dead!”
“Second Master succeeded!”
“Heaven bless the Forbidden City!”
The crowd was stunned.
No one expected Dragon Two to survive the brutal tribulation.
In that moment, despair surged in Ye Qiu’s heart.
He hadn’t anticipated that his plan to kill Dragon Two with the tribulation would fail completely. Dragon Two had survived and become a true immortal cultivator.
“Is heaven set on destroying me?”
Ye Qiu looked up at the sky, unwilling to accept it.
He was never Dragon Two’s match, and now that Dragon Two had crossed the tribulation, only death awaited him.
“Kid, didn’t see that coming, did you?”
“Not only am I not dead, I succeeded in the tribulation.”
“Hahaha…”
Dragon Two laughed loudly, exuding a towering aura.
Ye Qiu and the others’ hearts sank to rock bottom.
The prominent family leaders among the spectators began offering congratulations.
“Congratulations, Second Master.”
“Well done, Second Master, for becoming an immortal cultivator.”
“…”
Hmph!
Ye Qiu snorted coldly, standing with his sword, radiating powerful battle intent.
At this moment, his mindset resembled Xiao Jiu’s final stand—knowing he couldn’t win but fighting to the end.
Ye Wudi, Dragon Lady, War God, and Master Du’e stepped forward, standing by Ye Qiu’s side.
Though blind, Master Longbrow could sense direction by sound and slowly joined Ye Qiu.
The six stood in a line.
Each radiated fierce battle intent.
Sink the boat.
Fight with their backs to the wall!
“I refuse to believe that all of us together can’t take down one immortal cultivator,” Master Longbrow said. “In a moment, we’ll hold Dragon Two back to create a chance for Ye Qiu to land a killing blow.”
War God said, “We tried that plan before. Dragon Two’s cultivation was too strong, and we failed.”
“You failed because I wasn’t there. Now that I’m here, this plan will work,” Master Longbrow instructed Ye Qiu. “Kid, I can only act twice.”
“Seize the chance.”
“Don’t be scared. Though that old man crossed the tribulation, his realm isn’t stable yet. We still have a shot at killing him.”
“Got it,” Ye Qiu nodded.
In this situation, it was life or death, so they had to fight with everything.
Besides, none of them were the type to sit and wait for death.
Master Longbrow asked, “War God, are you all ready?”
“Ready,” War God replied.
“On my command, when I count to three, we strike together,” Master Longbrow took a deep breath and shouted, “One, two, three, attack!”
Swoosh!
Ye Qiu, War God, Dragon Lady, Ye Wudi, and Master Du’e charged at Dragon Two.
Master Longbrow, however, stayed put.
“Damn, that old bastard tricked us!” War God, noticing Master Longbrow didn’t move, cursed in anger.
If not for facing Dragon Two, he’d have turned back to punch Master Longbrow first.
That old man was too unreliable.
The battle erupted.
“Kill!”
The five roared, charging at Dragon Two together.
A smirk of disdain curled Dragon Two’s lips. He raised a hand, sending a palm imprint through the air.
Smack!
Ye Wudi and Master Du’e were instantly thrown dozens of metres, collapsing and spitting blood.
Then, Dragon Two flicked his sleeve, the massive force sending Dragon Lady flying.
Finally, Dragon Two clenched both fists and struck.
Bang!
Ye Qiu and War God were hit as if by lightning, sent flying.
The crowd was shocked間に
System: shocked.
Before Dragon Two became an immortal cultivator, he could defeat Ye Qiu and the others, but not as effortlessly as now.
Ye Qiu and his allies couldn’t even get close to Dragon Two before being thrown back.
Utter defeat!
“You don’t understand the power of an immortal cultivator.”
Dragon Two looked at Ye Qiu and the others, like a god looking down on ants, and said coldly, “In my eyes now, you’re weaker than ants.”
His words stabbed into Ye Qiu and the others’ hearts like a knife, fueling both anger and despair.
“I’ll give you two choices: end your lives now, or I’ll personally send you to your deaths.”
Dragon Two’s face was indifferent, too disdainful to bother fighting them.
“You arrogant old fool.”
Master Longbrow roared, “You think becoming an immortal cultivator makes you invincible?”
“Keep dreaming.”
“Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand.”
As Master Longbrow’s words fell, he gripped his right hand, and instantly, a grand sword intent surged forth.
