Joseph’s mouth twitched, inwardly cursing Ye Qiu. You’ve killed so many of our people, brutally beaten Agatha, and you have the cheek to talk about winning through virtue? Utterly shameless!
At this point, unable to match Ye Qiu in strength, Joseph had to find another way.
“Wind, rain, thunder, lightning failed, poison smoke was useless against him, strength can’t overpower him, it seems speed is the only option.”
Joseph made up his mind, looking at Ye Qiu coldly and saying, “I must admit, you are indeed extraordinary.”
“Among the younger generation, there’s probably no one who can surpass you.”
Ye Qiu interrupted Joseph, “You’re wrong. Even among the older generation, no one can suppress me. Try it if you don’t believe me.”
Try it? So be it!
“Swish!”
Joseph, like a streak of aurora, instantly appeared beside Ye Qiu.
This time, Joseph chose to attack Ye Qiu with superior speed, avoiding a direct clash.
It must be said, his speed was indeed remarkable, impossible to track with the naked eye.
Clearly, Joseph was a master highly skilled in speed.
The old woman sneered, “Joseph’s speed ranks first in our nine Middle Eastern nations. No one can rival him in speed. That lad is done for.”
After several attacks, Joseph suddenly sensed something amiss.
He had pushed his speed to the limit, and logically, even if Ye Qiu’s strength was exceptional, he shouldn’t have been able to dodge.
Yet, despite several attempts, Joseph hadn’t even touched Ye Qiu’s sleeve.
“Something’s off, this lad is peculiar.”
At that moment, Joseph realised Ye Qiu was counterattacking, and he couldn’t even see Ye Qiu’s shadow.
“Impossible!”
“He’s so young, even if he started training in the womb, his speed couldn’t possibly surpass mine.”
“What trick did he use?”
Bang!
As Joseph pondered, he took a punch from Ye Qiu, blood spurting from his mouth.
Ye Qiu scoffed, “Competing with me in speed? You’re truly overreaching.”
How could Joseph know that Ye Qiu was already a master of speed, and in that instant, Ye Qiu had quietly drawn a hundred lightning talismans.
With the boost of a hundred lightning talismans, Ye Qiu’s speed increased dozens of times.
Suddenly, Joseph’s proud speed seemed like a toddler’s stumble in Ye Qiu’s eyes.
Soon, Ye Qiu landed several more punches on Joseph.
Joseph suffered multiple broken bones, blood streaming from his mouth.
As Ye Qiu attacked, he taunted, “Old man, didn’t you eat? Why’s your speed so slow?”
“Why don’t you grab a bite and then come fight me?”
“I can wait for you, you know.”
Joseph’s face turned ashen with rage, hearing Ye Qiu’s mockery loud and clear.
This infuriated Joseph.
Who was he?
He was the chief sorcerer of the nine Middle Eastern nations, someone even their leaders would respectfully salute.
Moreover, as a peak King realm expert, he was unmatched in the nine nations.
Both in cultivation and status, he was supreme, yet now, he was being mocked by this young upstart, Ye Qiu. Intolerable.
“Ah!”
Joseph roared in fury, his entire being erupting.
Around him, a torrent of black mist appeared, like ink too thick to dissolve, shielding him within.
At the same time, the black mist spread, enveloping Ye Qiu.
Instantly, Ye Qiu felt his movements restricted, his speed involuntarily slowing, his head heavy with an urge to sleep.
Ye Qiu’s expression shifted, “Another confinement technique?”
Sure enough, Joseph formed seals with his hands, shouting, “Super Confinement!”
Buzz!
The black mist trembled.
In an instant, Ye Qiu felt as if his entire body was bound by iron chains, unable to move except for his hands, his eyelids growing heavier, overcome with exhaustion, yawning uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the Nine-Turn Dragon Technique surged within him, and Ye Qiu snapped back to clarity.
“Joseph used a confinement technique before, but compared to this Super Confinement, it’s nothing.”
“It’s called a confinement technique, but it’s more like a hypnotic method.”
“If it were someone else, they might have fallen to this move.”
On the ground, the old woman exclaimed excitedly, “Joseph’s using Super Confinement. That lad’s a sitting duck now. I refuse to believe he can break free.”
Boom!
After deploying Super Confinement, Joseph unleashed a chilling killing intent, ready to finish Ye Qiu.
However, as he raised his right hand, before he could strike, he found it immobile.
“What’s happening?”
Joseph’s heart jolted. He tried raising his left hand, only to find it frozen too.
His entire body was unable to move.
It was bizarre.
Completely unexpected.
Seeing Joseph raise his hand but not strike, the old woman urged, “Joseph, don’t hesitate, kill that lad now.”
Joseph desperately wanted to kill Ye Qiu, but his body wouldn’t budge.
“Joseph, what are you waiting for? Kill him!” the old woman pressed.
At that moment, Ye Qiu’s voice rang out.
“Old hag, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. This old man can’t kill me.”
Boom!
Ye Qiu threw a punch, his body bursting with dazzling golden light, an unstoppable force surging forth.
“Pfft!”
The black mist surrounding Ye Qiu dissipated instantly.
“How is this possible?” Joseph’s pupils shrank, fear creeping into his expression.
On the ground, the old woman’s face was one of disbelief, “How? How did he break Joseph’s Super Confinement?”
On the city wall, the Prophet watched Ye Qiu, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
“He’s too strong. If only someone like him could stay in our Vatican forever!”
Then, for some reason, a blush spread across the Prophet’s exquisite face, shy and demure.
Though Ye Qiu’s body was immobilised by Super Confinement, his hands were free, so he drew ten binding charms, turning the tables and freezing Joseph.
Then, with a punch, he shattered the black mist.
“Old man, your Super Confinement is pathetic. You should rename it Lowly Hypnosis,” Ye Qiu laughed.
“What trick did you use on me?” Joseph, still unable to move, demanded.
“Coincidentally, I know a confinement technique too.” Ye Qiu lunged forward, appearing before Joseph, raising his right hand.
Joseph panicked, “What are you doing?”
“What do you think?” Ye Qiu slapped Joseph across the face.
Slap!
