The old man’s forehead was pierced by the sword edge, blood gushing down.
It was very sudden.
He never imagined that at this moment, a powerful expert would suddenly launch a fatal strike against him.
“Who are you?”
As the old man spoke, the sword edge that had pierced his forehead was swiftly withdrawn, and at the same time, the petite black shadow disappeared from in front of him.
Where is the person?
Just as this question arose in the old man’s mind, a cold gleam suddenly appeared above his head, piercing into his crown with lightning speed.
“Bang!”
The old man’s skull, along with his primordial spirit, exploded. A powerhouse at the early Nascent Soul realm completely fell in just a few seconds.
Ye Qiu was shocked, cold sweat breaking out all over his body. Such an assassination was too terrifying. If it were him facing it, his fate would probably be worse than the old man’s.
Moreover, this black shadow could quickly kill the old man not only because of superb assassination skills but also because her cultivation was no weaker than the old man’s.
This person is extremely dangerous!
Ye Qiu nervously looked at the black shadow, sweat beading in his palms, while he secretly observed.
The black shadow had a petite figure, face covered. Although her appearance couldn’t be seen, Ye Qiu was the Medical Saint. Based on his understanding of human anatomy, he immediately determined that this black shadow was a woman.
“Clang!”
A sword hum rang out.
The black shadow sheathed her long sword, turned her head, and looked at Ye Qiu with eyes that were ice-cold.
However, Ye Qiu saw no killing intent in her gaze.
“Are you alright?” the black shadow asked.
Her voice was icy cold, without any fluctuation, but from the sound, one could tell she was very young.
Indeed a woman.
“I’m fine.” Ye Qiu then asked, “Thank you for saving me.”
The black shadow said, “No need to be polite.”
“What’s your name?” Ye Qiu asked.
The black shadow replied, “Orchid!”
“What a nice name.” Ye Qiu then asked, “By the way, Miss Orchid, who are you? Why are you here? And why did you save me?”
“You don’t need to know.” After Orchid finished speaking, her figure flashed and vanished without a trace.
Ye Qiu was stunned and muttered, “This Miss Orchid has quite a personality.”
Then, he went to the old man’s corpse, stomped it to pieces with two feet, and turned to leave.
When Ye Qiu returned to the original spot, Longmei Zhenren was being shot at by Xu Yourong, crimson blood arrows streaking across the sky, killing intent soaring.
Ye Qiu glanced over and clearly noticed that Xu Yourong’s combat power was greatly reduced. He thought inwardly, “Fortunately, she only has a primordial spirit left. Otherwise, the old thing probably couldn’t block even one arrow.”
Boom!
Ye Qiu flew out, shattering a crimson blood arrow with one punch, blocking the attack for Longmei Zhenren.
“You little rascal, where’s that old guy?” Longmei Zhenren asked.
Xu Yourong saw Ye Qiu return unharmed and was startled, thinking, where did the Lord of Yong’an City go?
“He’s dead.”
Ye Qiu spat out three words, and instantly, Xu Yourong was struck as if by a bolt from the blue.
“The Lord of Yong’an City is an early Nascent Soul realm powerhouse. How could he be killed by him?”
While Xu Yourong was distracted, Ye Qiu lashed out with a whip.
“Puff!”
The black divine bow in Xu Yourong’s hand exploded, the terrifying force sending her primordial spirit flying a hundred metres, nearly shattering it.
“You little rascal, don’t kill her.” Longmei Zhenren said sleazily, “Did you forget what Big Bird said earlier?”
“She has no physical body left, only a primordial spirit. What’s there to covet?” Ye Qiu’s face was indifferent as he strode forward, preparing to completely eliminate Xu Yourong.
Xu Yourong also sensed Ye Qiu’s intent. Her primordial spirit sat in the void, hands quickly forming seals in front of her.
Ye Qiu was somewhat puzzled. Earlier, when he tried to kill Xu Yourong, she had made the same move, but then the Lord of Yong’an City arrived in time and interrupted her.
Now, Xu Yourong was once again in a life-and-death crisis and started forming seals again, which made Ye Qiu very curious.
“What is she trying to do?”
“Could it be that she has some trump card?”
Ye Qiu’s doubt lasted only a second before vanishing, because no matter what trump card Xu Yourong had, it couldn’t stop his killing intent.
“Xu Yourong, tomorrow’s today will be your death anniversary. Hurry to the underworld to report!”
As Ye Qiu prepared to strike a fatal blow, suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from Xu Yourong’s body, as if a divine being was born.
“Hmm?”
Ye Qiu paused, surprise appearing on his face as he stared fixedly at Xu Yourong’s primordial spirit.
At this moment, Xu Yourong’s primordial spirit bloomed with golden light, like a sun, illuminating the heavens.
Instantly, Ye Qiu felt a bone-chilling aura.
“You little rascal, what happened?” Longmei Zhenren asked uneasily.
“Not sure.” As Ye Qiu replied, he had already charged out.
Obviously, Xu Yourong was casting some secret art, preparing for a final counterattack. Ye Qiu didn’t want to give her the chance.
“Pa!”
The God-Beating Whip pressed forward unstoppable, however, it didn’t bind Xu Yourong. She continued forming seals.
“What?”
Surprise appeared on Ye Qiu’s face. Then, he swung his fists with both hands, striking out.
“Bang bang bang!”
Ye Qiu used the Unparalleled Fist, desperately attacking Xu Yourong. A strange scene occurred.
Each of his strikes was like mud sinking into the sea, without stirring the slightest ripple.
“How is this possible?”
Ye Qiu couldn’t believe it.
At that moment, the golden light on Xu Yourong grew even more intense, like a star. The brilliant radiance protected her primordial spirit tightly, like the hardest shield.
“This poor Daoist will try.”
After Longmei Zhenren spoke, he forcefully threw the black brick in his hand.
“Boom!”
The brick flew out, carrying overwhelming power, striking the golden light.
“Dang—”
A loud clang, the black brick flew back, nearly hitting Longmei Zhenren.
Longmei Zhenren quickly squatted down, the brick grazing his scalp and crashing through countless ancient trees.
“Damn, what’s going on? She only has a primordial spirit left. How can she still be so powerful?” Longmei Zhenren was shocked, eyes wide and mouth agape.
Xu Yourong laughed coldly, “Just with you few wanting to kill me, it’s wishful thinking.”
Humph!
Ye Qiu snorted coldly and quickly charged out. No matter what, today he must eliminate Xu Yourong.
Otherwise, endless troubles.
Ye Qiu prepared to sacrifice the Qiankun Cauldron, but unexpectedly, suddenly, a powerful aura filled the sky.
The aura on Xu Yourong became even more terrifying, like a peerless demon king breaking free from chains in the nine nether hells, shocking the mortal world.
“Invoke the Saint!”
Xu Yourong shouted loudly, and immediately after, a white light rushed out from her crown.
This white light seemed to pierce the heavens. As soon as it appeared, Ye Qiu and the others’ souls felt like they were about to explode.
After the white light appeared, above Xu Yourong’s head, it condensed into a majestic figure, as if it could crush the eternal heavens.
Lin Daniao suddenly changed colour, exclaiming in horror, “Wuji Tianzun!”
