“Ah…”
Lin Qianqian screamed loudly in agony.
Her mouth had been completely torn open by Ye Qiu, her tongue yanked out, dripping with blood, her appearance utterly wretched, like a malevolent ghost.
“Go to hell!”
Ye Qiu showed not the slightest pity, raising the God-Beating Whip and lashing it down towards Lin Qianqian’s head.
At that moment.
“Whoosh…”
A long spear, like lightning, streaked across the sky, instantly blocking the God-Beating Whip.
“Thud, thud, thud…”
Ye Qiu was forced back several hundred metres, his chest churning with blood and energy, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked up and saw that the one who had acted was Huangfu Qi.
Huangfu Qi had been busy supporting Tuoba Ye earlier, and by the time he heard Lin Qianqian’s scream, her mouth had already been torn apart by Ye Qiu.
Huangfu Qi quickly appeared beside Lin Qianqian and asked, “Are you alright?”
At that point, Lin Qianqian couldn’t speak at all. She quickly took out a pill and swallowed it, her injuries healing in the blink of an eye.
“I’m fine.”
After recovering, Lin Qianqian glanced venomously at Ye Qiu and said, “Brother Huangfu, that kid is very strange. When I fought him just now, I was inexplicably sealed.”
“I’ll go meet him.” With that, Huangfu Qi advanced with his spear in hand, asking Ye Qiu as he walked, “Who exactly are you?”
Ye Qiu answered loudly, “Ye Changsheng!”
Ye Changsheng?
Huangfu Qi searched his mind but found he had never heard the name before. He couldn’t help asking, “Which sect do you come from?”
“No sect, no faction.” Ye Qiu said, “However, it won’t be long before the name Ye Changsheng spreads throughout the entire cultivation world.”
“By the way, I don’t kill nameless foes.”
“State your name.”
Huangfu Qi said, “Huangfu Qi, the Holy Son of the Primordial Holy Land.”
“Another Holy Son?” Ye Qiu laughed and said, “I hope you’re not trash like that guy from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.”
Hmph!
Huangfu Qi snorted coldly, stopping in his tracks. Then, black light surged from the spear in his hand.
Suddenly, an extremely dense killing intent appeared between heaven and earth, causing one’s soul to tremble uncontrollably.
This feeling was as if an ancient ferocious beast had broken free from its shackles and entered the human world.
“A peerless murderous weapon!”
Ye Qiu immediately sensed that the killing intent was emanating from the spear in Huangfu Qi’s hand.
The spear gleamed with dark light, soul-seizing, clearly having drunk much human blood.
“Be careful, Young Master Ye!”
Yun Xi’s voice suddenly rang out, shouting with all her strength, “The Gale Spear in Huangfu Qi’s hand is forged from extraterrestrial meteoric iron. It’s a sacred artifact.”
A sacred artifact?
Ye Qiu’s face showed disdain, thinking to himself, I’ve got a divine artifact in my hand.
Huangfu Qi held the spear, swinging his arm. In an instant, the Gale Spear resembled a ferocious giant beast, emitting a bone-chilling aura.
“Come on!”
Huangfu Qi roared, a powerful aura emanating from him like a volcanic eruption, crushing towards Ye Qiu.
At the same time, nine cave heavens floated behind him.
“Boom!”
Immediately after, countless streams of dragon energy flew out.
Huangfu Qi revealed his full cultivation right from the start, with no intention of fighting Ye Qiu at the same realm. He just wanted to take down Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed.
Huangfu Qi’s aura was extremely terrifying. At that moment, it felt like a massive boulder pressing on Ye Qiu’s chest, making him feel suffocated.
“This person cannot be underestimated.”
Ye Qiu heightened his vigilance. For the first time, he felt the might of the Cave Heaven peak.
Although he had fought Lin Qianqian earlier, compared to Huangfu Qi, Lin Qianqian was clearly much weaker.
“It seems I still need to hurry and work hard to elevate my cultivation!”
Thinking this, Ye Qiu advanced towards Huangfu Qi with the God-Beating Whip in hand.
Huangfu Qi showed a look of surprise. He hadn’t expected that after revealing his full cultivation, Ye Qiu would show no sign of retreating.
“Just based on this courage, I can’t take this person lightly.”
Huangfu Qi’s gaze darkened as he said, “Since you have no sect or faction, I wonder if you’d like to join the Primordial Holy Land?”
“If you’re willing, then after I return, I’ll immediately report to the sect and have them appoint you as a Holy Son.”
Everyone was surprised. They hadn’t expected that at this moment, Huangfu Qi would try to recruit Ye Qiu.
What surprised everyone even more was that Ye Qiu refused outright.
“I’m not interested in being a Holy Son. I’m only interested in killing you all.”
As Ye Qiu’s words fell, he stamped his foot heavily, his body shooting like an arrow into the air, facing Huangfu Qi from afar.
“Ungrateful.” Huangfu Qi’s dark gaze sharpened, filled with killing intent.
Ye Qiu’s gaze was like a heavenly sword unsheathed, releasing unparalleled sharpness.
They stared directly at each other, neither making the first move.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Between heaven and earth, there was utter silence.
After ten seconds.
“Whoosh~”
A gentle breeze blew past.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
With uncanny synchronicity, the two roared simultaneously and charged at each other.
Things had come to this point; no more words were needed. Just kill the enemy.
“Boom!”
As Huangfu Qi charged out, the immense force caused the void to tremble. Amid a violent howl, the Gale Spear thrust towards Ye Qiu.
The Gale Spear advanced relentlessly, boundless killing intent, nearly piercing through the void, making one’s heart pound with fear.
However, Ye Qiu’s face showed no change as he swung the God-Beating Whip, lashing out fiercely.
“Crack!”
In an instant, the killing intent thrust by the Gale Spear vanished completely. It flew out of Huangfu Qi’s hand, arcing through the air.
What?
Huangfu Qi was greatly shocked. This was a sacred artifact; how had it been whipped away?
In the midst of his astonishment, Ye Qiu was already raising the God-Beating Whip and lashing down towards his head.
Huangfu Qi remained composed in crisis. After all, he was a Holy Son of a sect, with great resolve. His eyes flashed with cold light as he prepared to counterattack.
Suddenly, he found his entire body filled with a sense of restraint, unable to move.
What was going on?
Abruptly, Huangfu Qi recalled Lin Qianqian’s warning: Ye Qiu was very strange, able to seal his opponent during combat.
“Oh no!”
Huangfu Qi inwardly cried out in alarm, watching the God-Beating Whip draw closer and closer to his forehead. Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively abandoned his physical body, his primordial spirit rushing out from the crown of his head and fleeing into the distance.
“Pfft!”
Ye Qiu’s whip shattered Huangfu Qi’s physical body, and immediately after, his figure vanished from the spot.
Huangfu Qi’s primordial spirit fled to a distance, turning back to see his physical body turn into a mist of blood, chills running through him.
He couldn’t understand: Ye Qiu was clearly only at Golden Core realm, so how could he seal him?
“What method did this kid use? How could he seal me?”
“Huh, where is he?”
Huangfu Qi didn’t see Ye Qiu’s figure and felt puzzled. Just then, Lin Qianqian’s shout rang out, “Brother Huangfu, watch out…”
Huangfu Qi sensed something and turned sharply, only to be struck squarely on his primordial spirit by the God-Beating Whip.
“Boom!”
Huangfu Qi’s primordial spirit shattered into four pieces.
