Master Long Brow’s words instantly enraged the old man, but he didn’t act immediately.
“Who are you?”
The old man stared at Master Long Brow, his gaze like a blade, asking darkly.
“None of your damn business!” Master Long Brow cursed, then said, “Ugly freak, what’s your name?”
“I am…”
Before the old man could finish, Master Long Brow spoke again, “Could it be, you are the dung ball once rolled by the cockroach flattened by Wangcai, the pet dog raised by the little novice monk adopted by Master Idiot of Shaolin Temple, who was unrivalled in martial arts at the Huashan Sword Debate, known as ‘One Pear Blossom Overwhelms the Begonia’?”
Pfft!
Green Vine couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, and even Fairy Hundred Flowers, with her cold face, showed a faint smile.
Ye Qiu sighed inwardly, thinking Master Long Brow’s sharp tongue could make him invincible in a verbal spar.
“Dare to insult me, are you seeking death?”
The old man’s killing intent surged, and suddenly, the temperature at the scene seemed to drop hundreds of degrees.
Bone-chilling cold.
“Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you’re from the cultivation world. I tell you, killing you is easier than crushing an ant.”
“And look at yourself in a puddle, with your ugly mug, daring to covet young girls. What kind of behaviour is this? A toad lusting after swan meat.”
“These two fairies, with their beauty that shames the moon and sinks fish, topples cities and kingdoms, only my good brother is worthy of them.”
“Right, Ye Qiu?”
Huh?
Ye Qiu was stunned, not expecting Master Long Brow to suddenly drag him into it.
Green Vine stole a glance at Ye Qiu, her cheeks flushing red before shyly lowering her head.
Fairy Hundred Flowers also glanced at Ye Qiu, her gaze icy, as if warning him, “Lecher, dare to fancy me, and I’ll make you regret it.”
The old man looked at Master Long Brow, then at Ye Qiu, and finally, his gaze landed on Fairy Hundred Flowers, sneering:
“Fairy Hundred Flowers, I thought you strayed into the secular world by mistake, but now it seems you came here on purpose.”
“Who would’ve thought, you have an old flame in the secular world.”
“Hmph, you kept refusing me, I thought you were some chaste maiden, but you’re just a fickle harlot.”
Fairy Hundred Flowers’ face turned ashen with anger, shouting, “Ling Mochang, stop slandering me!”
The old man said, “At this point, whether you admit it or not makes no difference to me.”
“Soon, I’ll capture you and take you right in front of your lover.”
“Let him see what a wanton woman you are under me, hahaha…”
The old man laughed maniacally, then his gaze fell back on Master Long Brow.
“Fairy Hundred Flowers, before I capture you, I’ll first slaughter this stinking Taoist, reducing him to ashes.”
“Anyone who dares insult me has only one path: death.”
With that, the old man moved.
Though he was very old, looking frail and decrepit, his speed was lightning-fast, stepping into the air and stomping down.
Boom!
A sonic boom echoed through the air.
The old man appeared short, but the power he unleashed was terrifying, his foot, as it descended, suddenly enlarged to several metres long, its momentum utterly horrifying.
“Little brat, save me!” Master Long Brow shouted, already dodging.
“Bang!”
The old man’s giant foot struck the ground, instantly creating a three-metre-wide pit.
Cracks spread from the pit’s edge, rapidly extending outward.
In the blink of an eye, the ground became a shattered mess.
“Stinking Taoist, you can’t escape.”
The old man declared, striking a palm through the air at Master Long Brow.
His palm, like a millstone, sent Master Long Brow flying with its gust before it even reached him.
It was clear that if the palm landed on Master Long Brow, he’d be smashed to pieces.
“Dare to curse me, I’ll make sure you have no grave to rest in.” The old man’s figure moved like the wind, swiftly pursuing Master Long Brow.
“Hmph, can’t beat you, but can’t I escape?”
Master Long Brow unleashed his full strength, pulling out several talismans, his speed increasing tenfold.
Suddenly, Master Long Brow sensed something wrong. At that moment, the old man struck a palm into the air.
“Buzz!”
A torrential black mist appeared in the sky, like a mushroom cloud, sealing off everything within a three-hundred-metre radius.
“Not good, Palace Master, we can’t escape,” Green Vine said, her face paling.
“Since we can’t escape, we’ll fight him to the death, at worst, we’ll all perish together,” Fairy Hundred Flowers said coldly.
“None of you will escape today.”
The old man declared, stepping into the air, then slashing a palm blade at Master Long Brow.
As his palm swung, a blaze of flames shot from his hand, enveloping the air from above.
The flames roared, forming a forty-metre-long fiery blade, slashing down as if to destroy everything.
Even though the old man’s target was Master Long Brow, others present felt their skin burning.
Ye Qiu’s expression changed; he could see the old man’s move was immensely powerful.
Fortunately, this was the secular world, and the old man had suppressed his cultivation to the peak of the King realm, otherwise, that slash could have killed them all.
“Old thing, be careful.”
Ye Qiu darted out, pushing Master Long Brow aside, then threw a punch at the fiery blade.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s action, the old man sneered, “A mere secular mortal dares to challenge me, truly overestimating yourself.”
Boom!
Ye Qiu’s fist collided with the fiery blade, producing a deafening explosion.
The next second, both the old man and Ye Qiu’s expressions changed, both shocked.
The old man clearly hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to withstand the fiery blade unscathed.
Similarly, Ye Qiu was shocked; his punch, with its immense force, hadn’t shattered the fiery blade, which was unbelievable.
“Even with his cultivation suppressed, this old thing is terrifying, definitely the strongest enemy I’ve ever faced.”
Ye Qiu’s heart grew heavy.
“You blocked my strike, not bad, you should have no regrets in death.”
The old man said, waving his hand, the fiery blade vanishing, then extending five fingers.
His five fingers emitted a dark glow, like heavenly hooks, descending from the air towards Ye Qiu’s crown.
Where they passed, the air twisted.
At that moment, Ye Qiu felt as if his soul was being imprisoned.
As the old man’s five fingers drew closer to Ye Qiu’s head, Green Vine suddenly rushed forward.
“Young master, be careful—”
