The old man’s strength was extremely terrifying.
Though he appeared aged, when he struck, it was like thunder, swift and fierce.
“Crack!”
The old man slammed a palm down from above, a massive palm print resembling a millstone, radiating overwhelming power.
Unstoppable.
Ye Qiu hurriedly used a lightning talisman, dodging to one side.
“Boom!”
The old man’s palm struck the ground, causing a tremendous explosion, leaving a deep pit with cracks spreading in all directions.
“Youngster, stop resisting. In my presence, no matter what tricks you use, they’re futile.”
After speaking, the old man stomped his right foot.
Instantly, his right foot grew enormous in Ye Qiu’s eyes, stretching several metres long.
Ye Qiu quickly shifted positions, dodging again.
“Thud!”
The old man’s foot hit the ground, instantly leaving a massive footprint.
“Rumble!”
The old man swung another palm, unleashing a terrifying surge of air like a torrential river, unstoppable.
“This old guy is definitely a King Realm expert.”
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, swiftly changing direction to dodge again.
However, the old man’s power was too great. Though Ye Qiu evaded, he was still caught by the residual force.
“Pfft!”
Ye Qiu was sent flying by the shockwave, spitting out golden blood, his face filled with shock.
If his speed hadn’t been quick enough, that palm strike landing on him could have killed him on the spot.
At the same time, Ye Qiu realised the old man was far stronger than Miyamoto Takekawa and others.
Though Miyamoto Takekawa was at the peak of the Venerable Realm, half a step from King Realm, compared to the old man, he was like a firefly on the ground to a star in the sky, utterly incomparable.
When Ye Qiu fought Miyamoto Takekawa, he could hold his own with a burst of strength, but against this old man, he was completely outmatched!
It wasn’t that Ye Qiu wasn’t strong, but the old man was simply too powerful.
“Youngster, stop dodging and surrender obediently!”
After speaking, the old man moved both hands, instantly unleashing a dark glow, like a vast net descending from the sky.
Ye Qiu hurriedly dashed away, his speed reaching its peak after using the lightning talisman.
Yet, unexpectedly, he couldn’t escape the area.
The dark glow released by the old man contained a mysterious force, like a cage, completely sealing the area, trapping Ye Qiu inside.
“You can’t escape,” the old man said coldly, his voice chilling. “If you surrender, I won’t kill you for now, at least not until Ye Wushuang arrives.”
“But if you keep resisting, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Ye Qiu shouted, “Even if I die, I won’t submit to you Japs!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll send you to your grave.” The old man’s hand formed a blade, slashing down swiftly.
Instantly, a cold aura enveloped the area.
Ye Qiu felt a chill, as if plunged into an icy abyss, his skin stinging.
“Whoosh!”
Ye Qiu hurriedly used an invisibility charm, vanishing and dodging the old man’s blade.
Crack!
The old man’s blade struck the ground, carving a fifty-metre-long trench.
“Hmph!”
The old man snorted coldly, frustrated that his repeated attacks hadn’t harmed Ye Qiu.
“Rumble!”
In his anger, the old man smashed a fist down.
This punch was like a mountain falling from the sky, exuding unmatched ferocity.
Ye Qiu’s expression grew grave, sensing endless killing intent from the old man’s fist.
“Damn it, I’ll fight!”
Roar!
Ye Qiu bellowed, pushing the Nine Revolutions Dragon Art to its limit, nine streams of innate true qi surging out, wrapping around his right arm.
His body glowed like molten gold, his vitality surging, resembling an invincible war god.
Then, he soared into the sky, swinging a golden fist towards the old man.
Even knowing the old man was a King Realm powerhouse, Ye Qiu was fearless.
At least, in terms of strength, he had never feared anyone.
In a flash, their fists collided.
“Boom!”
The clash was like a star exploding. The next moment, Ye Qiu was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the ground a hundred metres away, leaving a deep crater.
“Pfft!”
Ye Qiu spat blood, his right arm trembling violently, his hand torn and bleeding.
“Is this the power of the King Realm?”
“Too terrifying!”
Recently, Ye Qiu had faced many top experts, but in terms of strength, he had never lost.
His punch could obliterate Foundation Realm cultivators and even challenge Venerable Realm experts with raw power.
But now, he was sent flying by the old man’s single punch.
And the most terrifying part? The old man’s punch seemed effortless, clearly not using his full strength.
“If he went all out, could he kill me with one punch?”
“The King Realm is only one level above the Venerable Realm, but its power is hundreds of times greater.”
“The gap in our cultivation is too vast. Killing him is tough!”
Ye Qiu felt unwilling but helpless.
“Aren’t you supposed to be strong? Why are you so weak?” the old man sneered. “This is the gap in realms. Killing you takes no effort.”
“Old fool, stop boasting. Those who bragged before me are all dead souls now. Be careful you don’t end up like them,” Ye Qiu retorted coldly.
“Hmph, you’re not even a cultivator, yet you dare spout nonsense before me. You’re courting death.”
As the old man spoke, he threw another punch.
Ye Qiu swung two Qiankun Cauldrons, smashing them towards the old man’s fist.
At the same time, the Qiankun Cauldron above his head flew out, aiming for the old man’s skull.
“Thud!”
The old man’s fist struck the two Qiankun Cauldrons, sending them flying hundreds of metres.
He followed with a palm strike on the other Qiankun Cauldron.
“Clang!”
The cauldron aimed at his head arced through the air and flew off.
Ye Qiu was knocked back dozens of metres, spitting blood, his face deathly pale.
“Youngster, go ahead and resist fully. It’s useless, but you can try,” the old man said, raising his hand again.
Zzt zzt zzt!
Lightning crackled around the old man’s palm, like dancing dragons and snakes, terrifying to the extreme.
Clearly, he intended to kill Ye Qiu.
“Rumble!”
Moments later, the old man slammed his palm down, aiming straight for Ye Qiu’s crown.
At the brink of life and death.
Ye Qiu could only use his trump card, roaring, “Thunder, come!”
