Though half the old man’s head was smashed, looking gruesome, he didn’t perish on the spot.
A layer of black mist enveloped his shattered head, his aura undiminished.
Ye Qiu was shocked.
“Worth of a supreme powerhouse from the cultivation world, surviving even this, truly formidable.”
With only half a face left, the old man’s single eye glared venomously at Ye Qiu, as if wanting to swallow him whole.
“You bastard, I—”
Slap!
Before he could finish, Ye Qiu whipped him again, sending him flying.
Ye Qiu’s combat strength was unprecedentedly strong; even without the God-Beating Whip, he could now contend with early King realm experts.
After whipping the old man away, Ye Qiu pressed the attack.
“Weren’t you so arrogant?”
“Didn’t you want to kill me?”
“Come on—”
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
The God-Beating Whip rained down relentlessly.
The old man, battered by Ye Qiu, suffered worsening injuries, utterly humiliated.
If not for the secular world’s Heavenly Dao restrictions, he could’ve crushed Ye Qiu with a single finger.
As Ye Qiu struck, he cursed, “At your age, still wanting young girls to serve you, shameless old fool.”
“Looking like a toad, yet dreaming of swan meat, delusional.”
“You think being a cultivation world powerhouse makes you great? Still getting thrashed by me.”
“Where’s your earlier bravado?”
“Don’t cower, fight back…”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The God-Beating Whip fell like rain.
The old man’s bones broke countless times, blood gushing from his mouth, his body nearly shattered.
“Enough!”
The old man roared, summoning a pitch-black umbrella.
As the umbrella appeared, black clouds rolled, the void trembled, exuding a heart-palpitating force.
“That’s the Tianluo Umbrella!” Fairy Hundred Flowers’ expression shifted.
The old man held the umbrella to block the God-Beating Whip, while his other hand stretched out, striking heavily at Ye Qiu.
“Young master, be careful!” Green Vine shouted.
Ye Qiu saw the old man’s move, redirecting the God-Beating Whip to strike the incoming hand.
The old man hurriedly retracted his hand, not daring to approach the whip.
At that moment, Ye Qiu summoned a Qiankun Cauldron.
The cauldron expanded rapidly, radiating a domineering imperial aura, smashing towards the Tianluo Umbrella.
Boom!
The Qiankun Cauldron struck the Tianluo Umbrella.
The old man sneered, “The Tianluo Umbrella is made from East Sea dragon bones, indestructible, inscribed with my runes. Let alone one cauldron, even ten or a hundred couldn’t break it…”
Crack!
Before he finished, the Tianluo Umbrella shattered.
What?
The old man retreated swiftly, his face full of disbelief.
“This is your so-called indestructible? Hah, pathetic,” Ye Qiu mocked.
The old man stared at the Qiankun Cauldron, his pupils shrinking, heart pounding.
“Divine artifact!”
“It’s a divine artifact!”
“How does a secular mortal have a divine artifact?”
The old man couldn’t fathom it; even in the cultivation world, divine artifacts were exceedingly rare.
If he knew Ye Qiu had three Qiankun Cauldrons, who knows how shocked he’d be.
“No, this divine artifact hasn’t unleashed its full power. His cultivation is too weak to fully activate it, or else, a single strike would destroy the secular world.”
The old man secretly sighed in relief.
Had the divine artifact been fully activated, even a saintly powerhouse couldn’t withstand its blow.
With the Qiankun Cauldron above his head, Ye Qiu stepped through the void, approaching the old man step by step, saying, “You shouldn’t have ill intentions towards women.”
“You shouldn’t have come to the secular world.”
“And you definitely shouldn’t have provoked me.”
Slap—
The God-Beating Whip lashed out.
The old man was sent flying again, spitting blood.
“The kid’s right, I shouldn’t have come to the secular world. Even with my great strength, the Heavenly Dao restrictions here limit me to a tenth of my power. Staying here, I’m doomed.”
The old man glanced unwillingly at Fairy Hundred Flowers and Green Vine. Without Ye Qiu, they’d be his playthings.
Damn it!
Though reluctant, compared to his life, even two stunning women seemed trivial.
“Fairy Hundred Flowers, just you wait, I’ll have you, make you writhe under me night after night.”
“And you, kid, when we meet again, I’ll grind you to dust.”
“You all just wait.”
With that, the old man retreated, aiming to slip back into the crack in the cliff to return to the cultivation world.
Unbeknownst to him, Master Long Brow had been watching his every move.
Seeing the old man try to flee, Master Long Brow acted, “Boom,” five bolts of heavenly lightning appeared before the crack.
The old man initially thought it was Heavenly Dao thunder, retreating a few steps in fear, but seeing no change in the sky, he realized the lightning was Master Long Brow’s doing.
“And you, dead Taoist, next time we meet, I’ll tear you to pieces,” the old man spat venomously.
Master Long Brow grinned, “There won’t be a next time, because you’ll die here today.”
The old man said, “I’m returning to the cultivation world. If you’ve got the guts, chase me there. In the cultivation world, crushing you is easier than squashing a bug.”
“Return to the cultivation world?” Master Long Brow scoffed, “Can you even get back?”
The old man sensed trouble, turning to see the crack in the cliff had completely vanished.
“Damn it!”
The old man cursed inwardly.
“You’re not going back to the cultivation world, leave your life here!” Master Long Brow shouted, “Little brat, do it!”
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The God-Beating Whip fell swiftly, leaving the old man bloodied, his body in tatters.
“Too far! Too far! I’ll fight you to the death!”
The old man stopped suppressing his cultivation, knowing he’d soon die under Ye Qiu’s hand otherwise.
“Boom!”
His aura surged, the surrounding thousand miles trembling, as if a peerless demon king had emerged.
Before he even acted, his mere presence sent Ye Qiu and the others flying.
“A mere secular mortal wants to kill me? Dream on!”
The old man ascended, the heavens and earth trembling.
Ye Qiu and the others were immobilized, their bones nearly breaking.
“Die!”
The old man raised his palm to kill Ye Qiu, but suddenly, the nine heavens stirred.
“Boom!”
A thunderclap roared, a bolt thicker than a mountain striking the old man’s crown.
“Pfft!”
The old man turned to ash, utterly annihilated.
