“Boom!”
Ye Qiu, holding the Qiankun Cauldron, charged directly at the old woman and Joseph.
At this moment, he took the initiative to attack, his figure like a streak of light, incredibly swift.
“Seeking death!”
Seeing this, the old woman and Joseph were furious.
In their view, even if Ye Qiu was at the initial stage of the King Realm, he had no right to challenge them. His主动 attack clearly showed he didn’t take them seriously, a blatant provocation.
“Boom!”
Ye Qiu swung the Qiankun Cauldron, smashing it down from the air, like a god of war, terrifying and boundless.
“You think killing a few King Realm experts gives you the right to challenge us? I’m telling you, you’re courting death.”
As the old woman spoke, she flicked her wrist, and the staff’s outer layer peeled off, revealing a peerless edge.
It was a pitch-black spear.
The old woman thrust the spear towards the Qiankun Cauldron.
The thrust was incredibly fast, like a black dragon, tracing a mysterious arc in the air, swift to the extreme.
“Clang!”
The spear clashed with the Qiankun Cauldron, producing a loud crash, accompanied by countless sparks.
They parted on contact.
Ye Qiu, holding the Qiankun Cauldron, returned to the city wall, while the old woman staggered back a dozen steps.
After steadying herself, she glanced at her wrist and saw a small cut at the base of her thumb.
In that clash, though she blocked Ye Qiu, her entire arm went numb, and the immense force had split the skin at her thumb.
“Such tremendous strength!”
The old woman warned Joseph, saying, “That kid’s strength is no less than ours, be careful.”
Joseph nodded slightly, his face grim, one hand behind his back.
At that moment, Ye Qiu attacked again.
“Boom!”
Ye Qiu, wielding the Qiankun Cauldron, smashed it down towards the old woman’s head.
“Hmph,” the old woman snorted coldly. Instantly, five or six identical figures of her appeared in place, indistinguishable from her true self.
A cloning technique?
A cold glint flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes, but he didn’t stop, continuing to smash the Qiankun Cauldron down.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu sensed a dangerous aura and quickly shifted his position, but he was a step too slow.
“Pfft!”
A bloody hole appeared on Ye Qiu’s left shoulder, golden blood spraying out.
He turned to see the old woman holding the black spear, standing just three metres away, coldly saying, “With such meagre skills, you think you can kill me? Truly seeking death.”
“Is that so?” Ye Qiu sneered, grabbing the cauldron’s leg and smashing it towards her.
Fast and fierce.
The old woman had no time to retreat and could only block with the black spear.
“Clang!”
The black spear collided violently with the Qiankun Cauldron.
“Pfft!”
The old woman spat out a mouthful of blood, her body flying back dozens of metres, her spear-holding hand trembling.
“Kill!”
With a sharp cry, the old woman thrust her black spear as if to pierce the void, aiming at Ye Qiu.
Her speed was incredible, like a ball of light, utterly terrifying.
Ye Qiu raised the Qiankun Cauldron and smashed it down.
For a moment, sparks flew in the air, the sound of collisions echoed endlessly, various lights danced, and killing intent filled the sky as the two fiercely clashed.
Ye Qiu hadn’t used the God-Slaying Whip because he wanted to test how far his combat strength was from a peak King Realm expert.
He was extremely valiant, not retreating an inch, swinging the Qiankun Cauldron and relentlessly bombarding the old woman.
The old woman, a peak King Realm expert, withstood Ye Qiu’s fierce attacks for so long without suffering serious injury.
“Kill!”
With another sharp cry, the old woman gripped the black spear with one hand, her body turning into a bolt of lightning, the spear thrusting fiercely towards Ye Qiu’s forehead.
This thrust, in both speed and power, was exponentially greater.
Clearly, the old woman intended to kill Ye Qiu decisively.
The Prophet, standing on the city wall, saw this and felt her heart leap to her throat.
The old woman’s move was too domineering; where the spear’s light passed, the air shattered, as if transcending ancient time and space.
Awe-inspiring might.
“Clang!”
The Qiankun Cauldron blocked in front of Ye Qiu but was knocked away by the old woman’s spear. The spear’s light pierced through some obstacles, getting closer to Ye Qiu’s forehead.
Ye Qiu retreated rapidly.
However, the spear’s light, like an aurora, reached his forehead in an instant.
“Die!”
The old woman sneered coldly.
Though the spear’s light hadn’t yet pierced Ye Qiu’s forehead, its peerless edge had already broken his skin.
“Pfft!”
A drop of blood appeared at Ye Qiu’s forehead.
“Ye Qiu…”
The Prophet was so scared that tears streamed down her face. In her panic, she disregarded everything, flying out to aid Ye Qiu.
“Don’t come over,” Ye Qiu shouted. “Go back!”
The Prophet reluctantly returned to the city wall.
She didn’t know that Ye Qiu was also shocked at that moment.
“Is this the combat strength of a peak King Realm expert? Truly terrifying.”
His current physique was such that ordinary divine weapons could hardly harm him, yet the old woman’s spear light alone had pierced his skin, showing her cultivation had reached a terrifying level.
Ye Qiu drew a lightning talisman, and his retreat speed surged.
“You can’t escape, just accept your death!” The old woman’s lips carried a cold, murderous intent.
Ye Qiu remained silent, his eyes fixed on the black spear closing in.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu noticed the black spear’s speed seemed to slow in his vision.
Even the spear’s light trajectory became crystal clear.
“What’s happening?”
Ye Qiu didn’t believe the old woman would suddenly slow her attack, especially since she was intent on killing him.
Soon, Ye Qiu realised the truth.
“It’s the Heavenly Eye! My Heavenly Eye has upgraded!”
Ye Qiu was overjoyed.
Since breaking through to the King Realm, he had only noticed his strength and cultivation increase, not paying attention to his Heavenly Eye. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, it activated on its own.
And it had upgraded.
“Kid, you can’t escape, accept your death!” The old woman exerted force through her wrist, the spear’s edge pressing forward relentlessly, its speed increasing several times over.
However, at that moment, Ye Qiu suddenly stopped.
“Crack!”
A soft sound.
Ye Qiu extended two fingers, clamping the spear’s tip.
The peerless edge of the spear’s tip cut his fingers, and blood flowed out.
“How is this possible?”
The old woman was shocked. She hadn’t expected Ye Qiu, in such a critical moment, to not only track the spear’s trajectory but also catch its tip with two fingers.
Unbelievable!
The old woman gritted her teeth, trying to thrust the spear forward, but a golden light burst from between Ye Qiu’s fingers, unleashing a tremendous force.
The old woman’s heart skipped a beat. “Not good…”
