Covered in blood, Ye Qiu stood like a demon king bathed in gore, a shocking sight.
Bai Yujing’s body, torn in half, lay with his organs spilled across the ground, a gruesome scene.
Thinking of Bai Yujing’s deeds and earlier words, Ye Qiu’s anger wasn’t sated. He stomped down.
“Bang!”
Bai Yujing’s remains turned to a mist of blood.
At the August First Building, everyone’s expressions changed.
Before today, no one could have imagined Bai Yujing meeting such a wretched end.
Once the top young master of the capital, born to a prestigious family, exceptionally talented, and widely admired, he ended up like this.
“Good!” an old general clapped, exclaiming, “A traitor like Bai Yujing deserves to be executed by all. Well killed!”
Another general said, “Bai Yujing was cunning and thought he could rest easy with Great East’s backing, but at the critical moment, their experts abandoned him. He brought about his own doom.”
“Serves him right!” another added. “Great East committed heinous crimes in our country back then and still denies it. Bai Yujing’s alliance with them was destined to cost him his life.”
Someone remarked, “Bai Yujing was a talent of his generation. It’s a pity he chose the wrong path, or our country would’ve gained a valuable asset.”
“I disagree,” another countered. “Disloyal, unfilial, unjust, and inhumane, betraying his country and harming his kin, he’s worse than a beast. His death is no loss.”
An old general said, “Thankfully, Ye Qiu took him out. If Bai Yujing had cultivated a thousand super soldiers for Great East, our national security would’ve faced a grave threat.”
“Ye Qiu’s actions are a monumental contribution. Elder Tang, I suggest a hefty reward for him.”
“I agree. A warrior like Ye Qiu, shedding blood for the nation, must be honored.”
“Seconded.”
“Seconded.”
“…”
Elder Tang’s face was grave. “Ye Qiu’s achievements are undeniable, and he’ll be rewarded. I’ll discuss the specifics with the War God later.”
“The issue now is, though Bai Yujing is dead, two Great Eastern King Realm experts remain.”
“How can Ye Qiu resolve this crisis?”
The atmosphere grew heavy.
Indeed, with two Great Eastern King Realm experts still present, could Ye Qiu survive this life-or-death situation?
“Elder Ye, where’s Wushuang?” the War God asked.
Elder Ye took out his phone, dialed Ye Wushuang, but got no connection.
“Wushuang should be on his way to the uninhabited island, but Kunlun Mountain is too far. I don’t know if he’ll make it in time,” Elder Ye said, full of worry.
“There might still be a chance,” an old general said. “The woman who rescued Old General Bai seems strong. If she helps Ye Qiu, they might hold out until Wushuang arrives.”
Elder Ye and the others had noticed the Prophet earlier, but they didn’t know her relationship with Ye Qiu.
Would she help against the Great Eastern King Realm experts?
No one was sure.
Elder Tang activated the speaker and connected with Ye Qiu, saying softly, “Ye Qiu, your father’s heading to the uninhabited island, but I don’t know when he’ll arrive.”
“I advise you, if you can escape, do it.”
“If you can’t, stall those two Great Eastern experts. Don’t clash head-on. Hold out until your father arrives.”
“Ye Qiu, listen to me. No matter what, you must come back alive. That’s an order, do you hear?”
“I understand, thank you, Elder Tang,” Ye Qiu replied, his gaze locking onto the two Great Eastern King Realm experts.
Mr. Ono and Mr. Kurai stood with cold indifference, unmoved by Bai Yujing’s death.
Ye Qiu spoke, “Gentlemen, in today’s battle, Great East sent many experts, and you’ve seen the result.”
“Do you still wish to continue, letting blood flow like a river?”
“I propose we each take a step back. Let today’s events end here, as if nothing happened. How about it?”
Ye Qiu said this because he knew he was no match for two King Realm experts.
Revenge could wait a decade.
If he survived today, he’d seek them out as a King Realm expert himself.
The situation was against him.
He feared the two Great Eastern experts wouldn’t let him have his way.
As expected.
“Kid, you’re trying to trick us into letting you go today, so you can come back for revenge when your cultivation advances, right?”
Mr. Ono sneered, “Playing tricks in front of me? Naive!”
Ye Qiu tried again, “For years, Hua Country and Great East have coexisted peacefully. Though minor frictions arise, both sides show restraint, avoiding bloodshed.”
“If you insist on fighting, sparking conflict between our nations, you’ll be sinners of your people.”
“Can you bear that consequence?”
Mr. Kurai said, “Kill you and your father, and Great East faces no threat.”
“To Great East, you two are the real danger.”
“No matter what you say today, we won’t let you live.”
Swish—
Mr. Kurai stepped forward, killing intent flooding the air.
Ye Qiu glanced at the two experts. Their expressionless faces and cold eyes radiated a chilling murderous aura, seeping into his bones.
This battle was unavoidable.
If it couldn’t be avoided, then fight!
Ye Qiu turned to the Prophet, “Please take my friends away.”
“If I leave, you’ll die,” the Prophet said, setting down the unconscious Bai Bing and Old General Bai. In a flash, she appeared beside Ye Qiu, speaking via secret transmission, “The one with the sword is early King Realm, the one with the saber is mid King Realm, a small realm above me.”
“I’m injured and can’t handle both.”
“I’ll take the saber guy. You stall the sword guy.”
“When I kill mine, I’ll help you with the other.”
With that, the Prophet moved first, her figure flashing into the air to face Mr. Kurai.
Ye Qiu locked onto Mr. Ono.
Instantly, terrifying battle intent shook the surroundings.
Ten seconds later.
“Boom!”
All four acted at once, and an earth-shattering battle erupted!
