“Dead?”
Yun Xi was dumbfounded.
She had never imagined that Ye Qiu would really kill Huangfu Qi, and in such a short time.
She couldn’t help asking herself inwardly, if she were to duel Huangfu Qi, could she kill him in such a short time?
The answer was no.
Although she was confident she could take down Huangfu Qi, it absolutely couldn’t be as effortless as Ye Qiu made it seem.
“Is he hiding his cultivation?”
Yun Xi couldn’t help asking.
“No.” The Hundred Flowers Fairy said. “He’s at Golden Core realm.”
“How is that possible?” Yun Xi found it hard to believe.
The Long Brow Immortal chuckled. “The little rascal is good at creating miracles.”
Yun Xi was even more puzzled. Ye Qiu was only at Golden Core realm, so how could he kill experts at the peak of Cave Heaven?
He must have secrets!
Yun Xi gazed at Ye Qiu in the distance, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
The Long Brow Immortal noticed her gaze, his heart stirred, and he said, “Fairy Yun Xi, actually, we have no enmity with the major holy lands. The little rascal is doing all this for you!”
For me?
For some reason, hearing this made Yun Xi’s heart pound.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy glared discontentedly at the Long Brow Immortal, as if to say, you’re too talkative.
The Long Brow Immortal seemed not to notice the Hundred Flowers Fairy’s glare and said to Yun Xi again, “The little rascal is only at Golden Core realm. For you, he’s facing four experts at the peak of Cave Heaven alone, willingly taking such a huge risk. To be honest, this poor Daoist admires him greatly.”
“I suppose you’re very moved too, Fairy Yun Xi?”
“Fairy Yun Xi, could you agree to one condition for this poor Daoist?”
Yun Xi said politely, “Please speak, Daoist.”
The Long Brow Immortal said, “If the little rascal helps you deal with these enemies, could you take him to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect and make him your sect’s Holy Son?”
“Yes.” Yun Xi agreed without hesitation. “As long as he’s willing, the Azure Cloud Sword Sect would welcome him warmly.”
The Long Brow Immortal was somewhat surprised, thinking, this lass agreed so readily. It seems she’s not just the Holy Daughter of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect; she probably has a very powerful background.
“Thank you, Fairy. Then it’s settled.”
The Long Brow Immortal beamed with joy, thinking inwardly, as long as Ye Qiu becomes the Holy Son of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, there’ll be no need to fear the Yin-Yang Sect, nor worry about retaliation from the major holy lands for killing these guys.
The Azure Cloud Sword Sect is the top sect in the Eastern Wasteland. With their protection for Ye Qiu, who could touch him?
Of course, the Long Brow Immortal had his own little schemes.
If Ye Qiu became the Holy Son of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, he could openly stay there, no longer living in fear.
Moreover, the Azure Cloud Sword Sect is the top sect in the Eastern Wasteland, with endless spirit stones and treasures. He could easily obtain them then.
In the arena.
Lin Qianqian and Tuoba Ye looked shocked. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Huangfu Qi to die at Ye Qiu’s hands like that.
While shocked, they felt extremely uneasy.
On the other side.
An Ruochen still stood in place, originally calm-faced. But when Huangfu Qi’s primordial spirit was shattered, his eyelid twitched, and he looked at Ye Qiu with deep eyes.
Finally, his gaze fixed on the God-Beating Whip in Ye Qiu’s hand.
“That wooden whip seems a bit strange.”
An Ruochen frowned slightly, then his brow relaxed, as if not worried at all.
At that moment.
Ye Qiu turned back, advancing towards Lin Qianqian and Tuoba Ye with the God-Beating Whip in hand.
“What do we do?” Tuoba Ye asked.
“Leave.” Lin Qianqian said.
“Leave?” Tuoba Ye was stunned. “Give up on the Saint’s inheritance?”
“At a time like this, you’re still thinking about the Saint’s inheritance? Do you want to die?” Lin Qianqian said. “If we don’t leave now, we’ll end up like Brother Huangfu.”
Tuoba Ye said, “Fine if we don’t get the Saint’s inheritance, but I can’t accept not killing that kid.”
As the Holy Son of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, having his nine cave heavens shattered by Ye Qiu today, his cultivation dropping to Golden Core realm, Tuoba Ye harboured a grudge and wished to send Ye Qiu to the eighteen layers of hell to vent his hatred.
“You think I can accept it?” Thinking of how Ye Qiu had torn her mouth earlier, Lin Qianqian fumed and cursed. “That bastard, he actually tore my mouth. How dare he?”
“For safety’s sake, we’d better leave first.”
“This kid can’t hide in the tomb forever. When he comes out, I’ll ask my master to suppress him, and then we can take revenge.”
“Mm.” Tuoba Ye prepared to leave with Lin Qianqian, but as soon as they turned, Ye Qiu blocked them.
“You two, where are you going?” Ye Qiu looked at them, smiling cheerfully.
“What do you want?” Tuoba Ye shouted.
“To kill you, of course!” Ye Qiu grinned, revealing neat white teeth that made one’s heart skip a beat.
“Don’t get cocky.” Tuoba Ye said. “Huangfu Qi died at your hands because he was careless and underestimated you. Don’t think that just because he’s dead, you can kill us.”
Ye Qiu said disdainfully, “Killing a few dogs is easy for me.”
Tuoba Ye was furious. “Who are you calling dogs?”
Ye Qiu laughed. “I’m talking about you,旺财!”
” Courting death!” Tuoba Ye was thoroughly enraged, his body erupting with blazing golden light, as if containing a sun inside, the radiance exploding.
Instantly, boundless battle intent swept through the void.
Lin Qianqian opened her mouth to dissuade Tuoba Ye, but on second thought, she could escape while Tuoba Ye fought Ye Qiu, so she closed her mouth again.
“Boom!”
Tuoba Ye struck in anger, smashing a fist towards Ye Qiu.
He was still using the Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist. Though his cultivation had dropped, the might hadn’t diminished. The golden fist shone dazzlingly like gold, filled with endless dominance.
“Die!”
Tuoba Ye roared, an incomparably powerful force erupting from his fist, like rolling waves, crushing towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu ignored it and directly lashed out with the whip.
“Pfft!”
The God-Beating Whip broke through all obstacles and landed on Tuoba Ye’s head.
“Die!”
As Ye Qiu’s words fell, with a “bang,” Tuoba Ye’s head exploded, his primordial spirit turning to blood mist along with it.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian had no courage left to fight Ye Qiu. Her body turned into a streak of light, rushing into the distance.
Ye Qiu was prepared and used One Step Ten Miles, quickly catching up to Lin Qianqian.
“Stinky woman, die!”
Ye Qiu lashed the whip on Lin Qianqian’s back, instantly shattering her body.
“An Ruochen, save me…”
As soon as Lin Qianqian shouted, another lash hit her head, destroying her primordial spirit and killing her outright.
