Ye Qiu slapped Joseph across the face.
“Slap!”
Ye Qiu deliberately controlled the force, not sending Joseph flying, but swelling his face and knocking out several of his teeth.
The Prophet’s expression froze.
Joseph, slapped by someone? Who would believe it without seeing it?
And this was just the beginning.
“Slap! Slap! Slap!”
Ye Qiu delivered several more slaps, quickly turning Joseph’s face into a swollen pig’s head.
“You bastard, you dare hit my face? I swear, today I’ll tear you to pieces,” Joseph roared in fury.
He, Joseph, a peak King realm expert, commanded respect across the nine Middle Eastern nations.
Yet now, he was being slapped by Ye Qiu, an utter humiliation.
Joseph’s rage surged, desperate to fight Ye Qiu to the death, but the binding charm still held him immobile.
“You’re wrong. The one torn to pieces today will be you,” Ye Qiu said with a smile, ignoring Joseph’s anger.
“Agatha!” Joseph shouted.
The old woman understood, stepping forward.
Ye Qiu flashed, retreating to the top of the city wall.
At last, Joseph broke free of the binding charm. He stood side by side with the old woman, their cold gazes fixed on Ye Qiu, murderous intent radiating from them.
Two peak King realm experts, finally joining forces to deliver a killing blow to Ye Qiu!
“Boom!”
Joseph was enveloped in dense black mist, resembling a demon god.
The old woman also unleashed a terrifying aura.
“Lad, your life ends here!”
“Die!”
Joseph and the old woman shouted in unison, charging at Ye Qiu together.
“Boom!”
The battle erupted.
The three clashed in a frenzy, lights flashing, shaking the heavens and earth.
“Bang!”
Ye Qiu threw punches with both hands, clashing head-on with the two peak experts.
Moreover, Ye Qiu pushed the Nine-Turn Dragon Technique to its limit. With the Dragon-Slaying Fist, a wild, domineering aura emanated from him.
One hand blocked Joseph’s attacks, while the other relentlessly hammered the old woman.
When Ye Qiu’s fists swung, they thundered like a stampede of ten thousand horses, utterly terrifying.
In less than fifty seconds.
“Pfft!”
The old woman spat blood, sent flying by the immense force of Ye Qiu’s fist.
Before her body hit the ground, a sharp sword aura left a bloody hole in her waist.
“Ah!”
The old woman screamed, blood spraying in the air.
Ye Qiu knocked Joseph back with a punch, then rushed at the old woman, intent on finishing her off.
Sensing his intent, the old woman, ignoring her wounds, conjured several identical shadows.
These shadows looked exactly like her, indistinguishable as real or illusory.
Her aim was to confuse Ye Qiu, but she underestimated his strength.
Ye Qiu activated his Heavenly Eye, instantly spotting her true body.
“Boom!”
Ye Qiu threw a punch from afar, and in an instant, boundless force swept through, like a tidal wave surging forth.
“Bang!”
The old woman was sent flying, her illusory shadows vanishing instantly.
“Using such petty tricks against me? Truly overreaching,” Ye Qiu said.
He pursued her.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to catch up, Joseph’s figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him, silent and stealthy.
“Hm?”
Ye Qiu was slightly surprised, noting that Joseph’s move resembled his invisibility charm.
“Get lost!” Ye Qiu threw a punch at Joseph.
Swish!
Joseph moved, vanishing without a trace, only to reappear behind Ye Qiu the next second, striking at his back.
Ye Qiu spun around quickly, but Joseph vanished from his front again.
“Hmph, you think you’re the only one who can go invisible?”
Ye Qiu used an invisibility charm, his body vanishing instantly.
Then, the air rang with the sound of collisions.
The old woman craned her neck, trying to locate Ye Qiu and Joseph through the sounds.
Not long after.
“Bang!”
Joseph suddenly appeared from the air, crashing into the old woman, both slamming into the ground.
Following that, Ye Qiu emerged from the air, his body radiating divine light, like a war god.
“Your time is running out. Play your trump cards if you have any,” Ye Qiu said.
As his words fell, countless sword intents appeared around him, numbering in the thousands.
Each sword intent was razor-sharp, like a galaxy from the heavens, pouring down on Joseph and the old woman.
The scene was utterly terrifying.
Both the old woman and Joseph paled. If struck, they’d be riddled like porcupines.
“Roar!”
Joseph let out a bellow, raising his hands to the sky. Rolling black mist surged upward, forming an impenetrable net.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sword intents struck the net of black mist, like hitting steel, sparks flying everywhere.
“Agatha, we won’t survive today,” Joseph said. “That lad’s methods are too ruthless.”
The old woman, realising they couldn’t defeat Ye Qiu, gritted her teeth and said, “I’m not reconciled. Even if I die, I’ll take him with me.”
“Agatha, what’s your plan?”
“It seems we can only perish together with him.”
Perish together?
Joseph fell silent briefly, then nodded, saying, “I agree with your plan.”
“This lad must not live, or he’ll seek revenge on the nine Middle Eastern nations for the Vatican, bringing calamity upon us.”
“This attack on the Vatican was our decision. If it leads to the destruction of the nine nations, we’ll be eternal sinners.”
“So be it, let’s perish together with him.”
The old woman nodded, “Good!”
Instantly, their bodies erupted in blazing flames, like a volcanic explosion, two heart-palpitating forces spreading across the heavens.
“What are they doing?”
Ye Qiu’s heart jolted, sensing a grave threat.
“Retreat!” The Prophet’s face paled, shouting, “They want to self-destruct and take you with them.”
Ye Qiu sneered, “Perish with me? Are you worthy?”
With that, he drew the God-Slaying Whip.
Ye Qiu held the whip in his right hand, while his left hand drew charms behind his back.
“Kill!”
Joseph and the old woman shot into the sky, like two fireballs, hurtling towards Ye Qiu.
“Dodge!” The Prophet shouted again.
Ye Qiu didn’t dodge. Instead, he lashed out with two strikes of the whip, instantly sending Joseph and the old woman flying into the air.
At the same time, Ye Qiu’s left hand pointed, casting twenty binding charms.
In an instant, Joseph and the old woman were frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
“How can this be?”
“I’m not reconciled!”
Boom!
Their bodies exploded!
