“Pfft,”
The young man, pierced through the forehead by sword qi, died on the spot.
His eyes bulged, unable to believe, even in death, that he had fallen to Ye Qiu.
“Boom!”
Ye Qiu followed with a punch, smashing the young man’s head, which exploded with a “bang.”
Blood splattered.
Ye Qiu then kicked the corpse, sending it flying.
“Bang!”
The young man’s body crashed in front of the old man.
Only then did the old man realise that Ye Qiu’s earlier five sword qi attacks weren’t aimed at him but meant to distract him, leaving no time to save the young man.
The old man snapped his head up, glaring at Ye Qiu with murderous intent.
“You’re courting death!”
His eyes were like blades, terrifying, as a horrific killing aura spread from him.
Ye Qiu, unfazed, pointed at the old man and said, “Old fool, your turn.”
“Come here quick.”
“I’ll send you to meet the King of Hell.”
Arrogant!
Utterly arrogant!
Without a word, the old man struck, sending a palm strike through the air.
Instantly, a black light shot from his palm, pressing down like a dark cloud, its force terrifying.
At that moment, the old man’s aura erupted like a raging storm, his killing intent filling every inch of space.
“This old thing is far more dangerous than that young man. His cultivation is at least mid-Venerable Realm.”
Ye Qiu didn’t dare be careless and unleashed his Slaughter Technique.
“Swish, swish, swish,”
Sword cries shook the heavens.
In an instant, over a thousand sword intents appeared around Ye Qiu.
“Go!”
With a point of his right hand, the thousand-plus sword intents rained down like dense droplets, stabbing at the old man’s palm strike.
The moment they clashed, a massive explosion erupted.
Boom!
The palm strike shattered instantly.
The tremendous recoil forced Ye Qiu back four or five steps.
Looking at the old man, Ye Qiu sneered, “That’s all you’ve got, and you think you can capture me? You’re senile.”
Hmph!
The old man let out a heavy, cold snort and stepped forward.
“You’re so cocky because you rely on your brute strength, huh? Fine, let’s see just how strong you are.”
At two metres from Ye Qiu, the old man pressed a palm forward, unleashing a surge of immense power.
Ye Qiu immediately activated the Nine-Turn Dragon Art and threw a fierce punch at the old man’s palm.
“Boom!”
The collision was earth-shaking.
Thud, thud, thud,
The old man stumbled back over a dozen steps before steadying himself, while Ye Qiu stood rooted, unmoving.
“What? He forced me back with one punch?”
“How is this possible!”
Only then did the old man realise Ye Qiu’s strength was extraordinary. Without using his realm to suppress him, he was no match in raw power.
“This kid’s so young, yet his strength is monstrous. He’s not to be underestimated.”
Just as the old man thought this, Ye Qiu’s taunts rang out.
“Old thing, I thought you were something special. Turns out, you’re nothing much.”
“With your pathetic skills, you dream of killing my father? You don’t know your place.”
“I’m not looking down on you, but if my father were here, he’d crush you with one finger.”
“Trash!”
“What did you say?” The old man’s eyes widened.
“I said you’re trash,” Ye Qiu replied. “And trash like you can’t even be recycled. You belong in the dump forever…”
“Enough!” The old man, thoroughly enraged, roared, “A nobody who isn’t even a cultivator dares call me trash?”
“You really think I can’t handle you?”
“Now I’ll show you how weak you are before me, like an ant.”
Boom,
The old man fully unleashed his power. Instantly, thirty-six dragon qi appeared behind him.
Each dragon qi, about nine metres long, radiated dazzling golden light, like real dragons in the air, a terrifying sight.
Peak Venerable Realm!
Ye Qiu’s pupils contracted sharply.
He’d known the old man’s cultivation was impressive, but he hadn’t expected him to be at the peak of the Venerable Realm.
This meant the old man was just one heavenly tribulation away from becoming a King Realm powerhouse.
“Damn it, this is trouble!”
Ye Qiu cursed inwardly, a massive sense of danger flooding his heart, feeling immense pressure.
At the same time,
In the Bayi Building meeting room, the big shots saw this through the video.
“Not good, this old guy’s a peak Venerable Realm powerhouse.”
The War God shot to his feet, saying with concern, “This fight, it’ll be hard for Ye Qiu to win, unless…”
“Unless what?” Old Master Ye asked urgently.
“Unless a miracle happens.” The War God immediately activated the loudspeaker, connecting to Wei Donghai, and issued a direct order, “Wei Donghai, I command you to aim a nuclear missile at the uninhabited island and await my instructions.”
After saying this, the War God’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he said coldly, “If Ye Qiu falls, that old thing won’t leave alive either.”
However, what the War God and the others didn’t expect was that, despite knowing the old man’s strength, Ye Qiu remained as defiant as ever.
“You lot really think highly of me, huh? To capture me, you sent eleven Foundation Establishment experts and two Venerables.”
“But too bad, your allies are all dead. Now it’s just you.”
“Old thing, you believe I can kill your allies? I can kill you too.”
There was no trace of fear in Ye Qiu’s voice.
The old man looked at Ye Qiu, sneering coldly, “Big words.”
“Originally, I planned to capture you and use you as bait to lure Ye Wushuang here.”
“But since you’re so eager to die, I don’t mind granting your wish.”
“As long as I have your corpse, I don’t believe Ye Wushuang won’t come.”
Ye Qiu said coldly, “Sorry to disappoint, but you won’t see my father, because you’ll die by my hand.”
The old man scoffed, “You, kill me? What a pipe dream.”
“Ye Qiu, you won’t be jumping around for long.”
“I was going to kill you, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
“Soon, I’ll snap your neck, cut off your limbs, slice out your tongue, gouge out your eyes, and sever your meridians, leaving you in a state worse than death, more wretched than a stray dog, hahaha…”
The old man laughed maniacally, as if he could already see Ye Qiu’s tortured state.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu’s killing intent surged.
“Old thing, let me tell you, you’d better be careful, or I’ll make sure not even your bones remain,” Ye Qiu said, brimming with murderous intent.
The old man, unperturbed, smirked coldly, “What are you, some nobody, to…”
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded.
Deafening.
The old man snapped his head up, seeing a massive bolt of lightning descend from the sky, his face changing drastically.
