Ye Qiu’s face darkened.
He hadn’t expected that, having just become a cultivator, he’d encounter King Realm experts again.
And this time, two at once.
“Damn it, why are there so many cultivation masters in Great East?”
Ye Qiu stood up from the ground.
The two King Realm experts were both elders. The one on the left held a samurai sword, while the one on the right carried a long sword on his back.
They walked side by side, their aura deep as an abyss.
With each step, they left deep cracks in the ground, utterly terrifying.
“Originally, we planned to capture you, then force Ye Wushuang to come rescue you, and kill him in the process.”
“But unexpectedly, so many have died at your hands. I must say, your life is tenacious.”
“So, we had to take matters into our own hands.”
The elder on the left finished speaking, unsheathing his samurai sword. Instantly, killing intent surged.
“Boom!”
The elder swung his sword through the air.
Though far away, the sword unleashed a massive blade arc, dozens of metres long, with terrifying power.
Ye Qiu didn’t dare be careless, immediately activating the Qiankun Cauldron.
In an instant, three Qiankun Cauldrons enlarged in the air, like three mountains, crashing towards the blade arc.
“Clang!”
The blade arc struck the cauldrons, producing a loud clang, and the three cauldrons were sent flying.
The blade arc continued towards Ye Qiu.
Swift as lightning.
It carried the momentum to cleave through all obstacles!
Ye Qiu clenched his fists, but before he could act, the blade’s residual force hit him, sending him flying, blood spurting from his mouth.
Though injured, the blade arc didn’t stop.
It kept slashing towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu pushed his speed to the limit, using the Cloud Ladder Technique. Just as the blade arc was about to hit, he leapt into the air, narrowly dodging.
But the arc’s residual force sent him flying again.
“Pfft!”
Ye Qiu was flung back, crashing through dozens of trees before stopping, coughing up blood continuously.
Fortunately, his body was tough enough, or that strike would have killed him.
Ye Qiu stared at the elder in shock, his heart reeling.
“Is this the true power of a King Realm expert?”
“Too terrifying.”
“Impossible to defeat!”
Ye Qiu had thought that, after surviving the tribulation and becoming a cultivator, even if he wasn’t a match for a King Realm expert, he could at least hold out for a while.
After all, he had always been able to fight above his level.
But he hadn’t expected a King Realm expert’s strength to be so overwhelming.
“I underestimated the power of King Realm experts. Against them, I have no chance to fight back.”
“What do I do?”
“Will I die here today?”
Despair crept into Ye Qiu’s heart.
At that moment, the sword-carrying elder stepped forward, crossing dozens of metres to stand in the air, looking down at Ye Qiu like a lofty deity.
“Kid, take my finger.”
The elder extended his right hand, pressing down with one finger.
Clang!
A piercing sword cry rang from the elder’s finger, its momentum overwhelming, like a landslide or tsunami.
This finger was like an unstoppable sword, capable of splitting heaven and earth.
Ye Qiu tensed, cold sweat dripping down his back, feeling his soul about to shatter.
This was absolute suppression.
Under the finger’s pressure, Ye Qiu sensed a lethal threat.
“Seal!”
Ye Qiu quickly drew a sealing talisman.
But as soon as it flew out, the elder’s finger pressure crushed it to dust.
“Freeze!”
Ye Qiu used an immobilisation spell, hoping to slow the finger’s descent, giving him a chance to dodge.
But the spell failed.
Ye Qiu realised this elder’s cultivation was even higher than the one killed by the tribulation.
In this desperate situation, Ye Qiu thought of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
“I’ll fight!”
Ye Qiu prepared to use the sword. Though it wasn’t the ideal moment and he had no certainty of killing the elder, if he didn’t use his ultimate trump card, he’d die immediately.
At the critical moment, as Ye Qiu was about to act, a loud shout came, “Stop!”
The elder didn’t retract his hand, but his finger, originally aimed at Ye Qiu, lifted slightly, sweeping sideways, unleashing a powerful gust like a hurricane.
Ye Qiu was sent flying, crashing through a boulder.
“Crack!”
Ye Qiu spat blood.
He’d been seriously injured during the tribulation, hadn’t had time to heal, and was then struck by the elder’s blade arc, worsening his wounds.
Now, flung again, his injuries piled up, blood soaking his body, countless bones broken, a pitiful sight.
The elder withdrew his finger, displeased, “Why tell me to stop?”
“Mr. Ono, have you forgotten our agreement?” the voice that shouted earlier spoke again.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw a young man emerging from the dense forest.
Instantly, Ye Qiu’s pupils shrank.
“Bai Yujing!”
Ye Qiu was stunned. He never expected Bai Yujing to appear here.
And it seemed Bai Yujing knew these two Great East experts.
Bai Yujing wore a white suit with a bow tie, his hair meticulously combed, looking every bit the refined gentleman.
Behind him followed two super soldiers.
The soldiers wore silver armour and helmets, each wielding two massive hammers weighing hundreds of pounds, like two divine generals.
Extremely imposing.
Bayi Building.
Elder Tang and the military personnel were equally shocked to see Bai Yujing.
“Why is Bai Yujing on the uninhabited island?”
“What’s he doing there?”
“Does he also want to kill Ye Qiu?”
“…”
Bai Yujing bowed slightly to the two Great East experts, saying, “Mr. Ono, Mr. Kurai, please leave Ye Qiu to me.”
“This was our prior agreement. Please honour it.”
“Thank you!”
The two elders exchanged a glance, retracted their killing intent, and stepped back a hundred metres.
“Thank you,” Bai Yujing said, stepping forward, stopping twenty metres from Ye Qiu, smiling brightly, “Ye Qiu, long time no see. All well?”
“Why are you here?” Ye Qiu asked grimly.
“I knew you’d ask that. Of course, I’ll answer, so you don’t die with regrets.”
Bai Yujing smiled, “I’m here to kill you.”
“Though, even if I didn’t say it, you’d probably guess.”
“So, let me tell you something you don’t know.”
Bai Yujing sneered, “The plan to hunt your father was orchestrated by me!”
