Li Beihai, this genius of the Primordial Sacred Land, was suppressed and slain on the spot by the Universe Cauldron.
Ye Qiu stood atop the Universe Cauldron, his white robes whiter than snow, his entire body bathed in golden light, resembling a divine spirit.
This was an eternal scene!
Ling Menghan felt her throat parched. After a long while, she finally uttered three words.
Too strong!
After speaking, Ling Menghan suddenly leaped up from the ground and fled rapidly into the distance.
The deaths of Jiang Wudao and Li Beihai made Ling Menghan realise that staying here was far too dangerous.
She temporarily had no desire to avenge Jiang Wudao; she only wanted to escape this place quickly.
Swish!
Ye Qiu took one step across the long sky and kicked Ling Menghan squarely in the back with a resounding thud.
Pu!
Ling Menghan spewed a mouthful of blood from her mouth, her body crashing to the ground like a sandbag, countless bones shattering in the process.
She had previously clashed with Ye Qiu and been beaten until her cultivation fell to the Golden Core peak. Now at the same realm, she could not even withstand a single kick from him.
If you know what is good for you, stay obediently here. Dare to entertain thoughts of fleeing again, and do not blame me for ruthlessly crushing the flower.
Ye Qius voice was cold and merciless. After speaking, his gaze fell upon Wu Qianfan.
He had openly unleashed a divine artefact, so apart from his own people, everyone else had to die.
Otherwise, if the secret of him possessing a divine artefact leaked out, it would invite endless troubles.
What Ye Qiu did not expect was that before he could speak, Wu Qianfan preempted him.
I have been observing the battle all along. Seeing you at Golden Core peak slay Li Beihai and Jiang Wudao, I must say, your combat power is formidable.
This prince admires you greatly.
Follow me!
When the day comes that I become the Great Zhou Emperor, I shall enfeoff you as a king. How about that?
Wu Qianfan seemed to be discussing it with Ye Qiu, but his words carried an undertone of不容 refusal.
Damn, this Great Zhou prince is so arrogant! Lin Daniao said to Ye Qiu: Big Brother, take him down.
Wu Qianfan ignored Lin Daniao and looked at Ye Qiu with haughty pride: Becoming my follower will not dishonour you. Should I become invincible in the world one day, you too shall enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.
Moreover, should I prove the Dao and ascend to emperorship in the future, I shall leave my name through the ages. As my follower, your name will also be recorded by posterity.
Furthermore, not just anyone can become this princes follower. Lad, I think highly of you; this is your tremendous opportunity. Do not miss it.
Ye Qiu found it somewhat amusing.
Bloody hell, making following you sound like some supreme honour. Where does this confidence come from?
It seems this Great Zhou prince is not quite right in the head!
What makes you worthy of my following you?
Being a Great Zhou prince is impressive, is it? Believe it or not, I could slaughter you right now.
After speaking, Ye Qiu sent the Universe Cauldron hurtling sideways towards Wu Qianfan.
Wu Qianfan flashed aside, swiftly dodging and shifting to one side. He said: Lad, that this prince thinks highly of you is your honour. Do not bring ruin upon yourself.
Follow me!
Turn around, and the two of us shall join hands to unify the Central Continent!
Ye Qiu gripped the God-Subduing Whip and walked towards Wu Qianfan, saying as he advanced: I have not the slightest interest in following you. Right now, I want to slaughter you.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing these words from Ye Qiu, Wu Qianfan did not grow angry but instead became exceedingly excited.
Very good. The more arrogant you are, the more I admire you. It has been a long time since anyone dared speak to this prince in such a manner.
This prince has decided: I must subdue you and make you my follower.
Here is the deal: let us fight. If you lose, follow me. How about that?
Ye Qiu was utterly speechless.
He finally understood: this Great Zhou prince was not merely dim-witted but an utter fool.
Had this fellow not seen me kill Li Beihai and Jiang Wudao?
Had he not seen me beat Ling Menghan until her cultivation regressed?
Where on earth did this confidence come from? Did he fancy himself superior to Jiang Wudao and Li Beihai?
Ye Qiu asked: And if you lose?
Wu Qianfan replied: If I lose, I shall no longer force you to follow me.
Ye Qiu sneered: What sort of wager is that? Win or lose, you suffer no loss whatsoever.
Very well, I shall give you an opportunity.
If I win, you become my slave. How about that?
Agreed. Wu Qianfan accepted without hesitation.
Ye Qiu was filled with astonishment, thinking that this fellow had agreed so readily; perhaps he had some trump card.
You truly dare to agree? Ye Qiu reminded him: Do not forget, Li Beihai and Jiang Wudao died by my hand. Do you truly believe yourself superior to them?
That is not for you to worry over. Come, let me see your strength. After speaking, Wu Qianfan strode towards Ye Qiu.
With each step he took, his aura grew stronger by a fraction, brilliant light swirling around his entire body, lending him a genuine air of imperial majesty.
Ye Qiu had originally been walking towards Wu Qianfan as well, but seeing him approach proactively, he halted his steps.
Eh, why have you stopped? Come over quickly!
Wu Qianfan said amiably: Rest assured, this prince is merely sparring with you; I shall not harm you.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes and said: I am concerned that if I make a move, you will have no chance to act.
Hahaha, this prince admires precisely this arrogance and audacity of yours. Wu Qianfan said to Ye Qiu: Remember my words; when you strike later, do not hold back in the slightest.
Give it your all.
Though this princes cultivation surpasses yours by a major realm, and this is but a spar, if you grow careless and underestimate me, you shall lose miserably.
Do you understand?
Ye Qiu looked at Wu Qianfan with the eyes one might reserve for an utter idiot, truly unable to comprehend why this utterly ordinary person was so brimming with self-assurance.
I advise you not to hold back either. Are you not skilled with the sword? Draw it! Ye Qiu said.
Wu Qianfan laughed: I draw my sword only against enemies. You shall become this princes follower, so there is no need for a sword; lest I injure you.
Madman!
Ye Qiu cursed inwardly, unwilling to waste further words on Wu Qianfan. This fellow was gravely ill.
Make your move! Ye Qiu commanded.
Wu Qianfan drew ever closer to Ye Qiu.
When only ten metres remained between them, Wu Qianfan stopped and looked at Ye Qiu: Once this prince acts, you shall have no chance to resist. You strike first!
Are you certain? Ye Qiu asked.
Of course I am certain. Wu Qianfan replied: This prince keeps his word like gold!
In that case, I shall not stand on ceremony. After speaking, Ye Qiu swung the God-Subduing Whip and lashed lightly towards Wu Qianfan.
I say, did you skip meals or something? Such feeble strength… ah…
Before Wu Qianfan could finish his words, he cried out in agony, his body flying sideways.
