The chilling light came from the Prophet.
While battling Mr. Xiao Ye, the Prophet kept a close watch on Ye Qiu’s situation. Seeing Mr. Cang Jing raise his longsword to strike, she flicked her finger, sending out a rune.
Whoosh!
The rune shot through the air like a flying knife, targeting Mr. Cang Jing.
Its killing intent was staggering.
Mr. Cang Jing, poised to strike Ye Qiu, saw the rune coming and had to raise his sword to block it.
He dared not underestimate the Prophet.
“Boom!”
At that moment, Ye Qiu erupted, unleashing the Immortal-Slaying Sword again.
Whoosh!
In an instant, sword qi surged like a radiant arc, slashing fiercely toward Mr. Cang Jing.
The strike was so swift, and Mr. Cang Jing, unprepared for Ye Qiu’s restored strength, realized the danger only when the sword qi reached his skull.
In a panic, he retreated quickly, crouching low. The sword qi grazed his scalp, nearly piercing his skull.
A chill ran over his head.
Mr. Cang Jing touched his scalp, finding a patch missing, his hand covered in blood.
“You’re courting death!”
His eyes bloodshot, Mr. Cang Jing burned with rage, itching to tear Ye Qiu apart.
As a King Realm expert, he had never suffered such a humiliating loss in his career. It was an utter disgrace.
Furious, Mr. Cang Jing raised his sword to strike but noticed Ye Qiu lifting the half Emperor Sword.
What?
Mr. Cang Jing frowned, unable to fathom how Ye Qiu still had the strength to wield it.
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Qiu had consumed another golden leaf after using the Immortal-Slaying Sword, restoring his strength.
“Old fool, didn’t you swear to kill me? Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes.”
With those words, Ye Qiu activated three Qiankun Cauldrons.
Instantly, the three cauldrons expanded rapidly, like three mountains crashing down from the sky.
“Boom!”
The momentum was earth-shattering.
Mr. Cang Jing swiftly threw three punches, sending the cauldrons flying back.
At the same time, Ye Qiu, as if struck by lightning, was knocked back dozens of meters by the immense force, spitting blood.
Ye Qiu felt a pang of regret.
“I planned to use the cauldrons to distract him and strike with the Immortal-Slaying Sword again, but it backfired, and I got injured instead. What a miscalculation!”
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Ye Qiu gripped the half Emperor Sword and charged at Mr. Cang Jing.
In a narrow path, the brave prevail.
With no way out, Ye Qiu had to fight to the death.
The miraculous golden leaves, instantly restoring his strength, gave him the confidence to battle on.
No longer would he fear collapse after using the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Whoosh!
Ye Qiu struck again with the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Mr. Cang Jing’s figure turned into a wisp of smoke, vanishing from the spot. Even as a King Realm expert, he dared not face the Immortal-Slaying Sword head-on.
The technique was too terrifying, beyond his comprehension.
But he forgot Ye Qiu’s Heavenly Eye.
As Mr. Cang Jing vanished, Ye Qiu swallowed another leaf and activated his Heavenly Eye.
Soon, he spotted Mr. Cang Jing’s figure.
“Boom!”
Like a god of slaughter, Ye Qiu’s eyes gleamed with cold light, slashing fiercely.
Boom!
The sword struck, blood spraying.
Mr. Cang Jing reappeared, his left arm severed at the root, blood gushing like a fountain.
He was gravely wounded!
Ye Qiu continued swallowing leaves, striking again.
Then, Mr. Cang Jing’s shoulder blade was pierced by sword qi, blood soaking his clothes.
Indeed, a King Realm expert was formidable. Despite Ye Qiu’s repeated use of the Immortal-Slaying Sword, he couldn’t kill Mr. Cang Jing.
This made Ye Qiu realize the saying, “All below the King Realm are ants,” was no empty phrase.
“My strength is too weak. Even with the Immortal-Slaying Sword’s ultimate move, killing a King Realm expert is incredibly difficult.”
On the other side, the Prophet, witnessing this, was shocked by Ye Qiu’s methods and focused on battling Mr. Xiao Ye.
“You want to kill me? Come on then!”
Ye Qiu’s aura surged as he swung the half Emperor Sword, charging at Mr. Cang Jing.
One sword, two swords, three swords…
Mr. Cang Jing suffered another grievous wound. If this continued, even a King Realm powerhouse like him would fall.
Mr. Xiao Ye wanted to aid him, but the Prophet’s fierce attacks kept him pinned down.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
Mr. Cang Jing roared, dozens of dragon auras emerging. His black hair whipped wildly, eyes blood-red, as he frantically swung his longsword.
In an instant, countless sword qi crisscrossed the air.
The heavens and earth seemed on the verge of shattering. Mr. Cang Jing, like an unrivaled demon god, swung his sword recklessly.
Whoosh!
Ye Qiu unleashed the Immortal-Slaying Sword again, its sharp qi like aurora, piercing through the countless sword qi and severing one of Mr. Cang Jing’s legs.
Unfazed by pain, Mr. Cang Jing continued his frenzied assault.
Each sword fell like torrential rain, enveloping Ye Qiu.
A King Realm expert’s full outburst was terrifying. Ye Qiu dodged desperately, unable to counterattack.
The situation reversed rapidly.
Soon, Ye Qiu was gravely wounded.
His body was covered in horrific sword marks, shocking to behold.
Blood poured from his mouth, his body trembling, barely able to hold the Emperor Sword.
Crack!
Bones in Ye Qiu’s body snapped under the sword qi—one, two, three…
In moments, dozens of bones broke.
Several sword qi pierced his body, nearly killing him.
“Even with your heaven-defying means, you can’t escape death today.”
“Die!”
Mr. Cang Jing shouted, striking again.
Ye Qiu used the Earth Escape Technique, burrowing underground, and quickly grabbed a handful of golden leaves, stuffing them into his mouth.
At least a dozen.
After swallowing them, his strength returned instantly, and his power surged. He felt as if he were in a furnace, his body burning, almost bursting.
“Boom!”
Emerging from the ground, a dragon aura shot from Ye Qiu’s head.
Though only one, it was ten zhang long, like a true dragon coiling in the sky.
This stunned Mr. Cang Jing.
“He’s only at the early Foundation Establishment Realm. How is his dragon aura more terrifying than mine?”
Ye Qiu raised the half Emperor Sword.
One slash, and the heavens and earth seemed to collapse.
Mr. Cang Jing swung his longsword to block, but as he raised it, a “crack” sounded—his sword broke.
The next moment, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, like aurora, struck his skull and vanished.
“How is this possible?”
Mr. Cang Jing’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had felt the Immortal-Slaying Sword’s power increase tenfold, its speed a hundred times faster.
“How could an early Foundation Establishment cultivator unleash such powerful sword qi…”
Before he finished, blood sprayed from his head, and his body split in two.
