Cao Mao jumped in fright. He had not expected that a slight distraction would nearly let Ye Qiu’s sword qi pierce his brow.
However, as a descendant of the War God Family, his reaction was extremely swift.
“Swish!”
Cao Mao shifted sideways by one step, dodging the sword qi. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a golden fist slammed into his shoulder.
“Clang!”
Cao Mao flew sideways. Though the armour protected him, the force from Ye Qiu’s fist was too great. It nearly shattered his shoulder. His body involuntarily staggered back several steps.
Before he could catch his breath, Ye Qiu’s attacks came again, like a storm of wind and rain.
In an instant, Cao Mao fell into a passive defence. He was forced into perilous situations one after another.
“Little brat, you’re mighty! Quickly beat him to death!” The Longbrow Immortal shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Ye Qiu seemed possessed by a god-king. He was invincible and fierce. The Seven-Coloured Blazing Sun Sword kept slashing at Cao Mao’s armour. The immense force shook Cao Mao until he spat blood.
At the same time, Ye Qiu’s fists kept bombarding him.
Soon, Cao Mao was spitting blood nonstop. He retreated step by step in defeat.
“The situation looks bad!” Wei Wuji said gravely.
“Do not worry. Cao Mao still has trump cards,” An Ruoxi replied.
Sure enough, brilliant light erupted from Cao Mao’s body. His combat power rose rapidly.
But this surge in combat power had not fully built up before Ye Qiu interrupted it.
After a flurry of attacks, Ye Qiu seized an opening. With a mighty swing, he slashed a sword towards Cao Mao’s head.
Cao Mao dodged swiftly, but he was still a beat too slow. The sword edge grazed his cheek and sliced off his left ear.
“Ah…”
Cao Mao cried out in pain.
Ye Qiu took advantage of the moment. He punched Cao Mao flying. Then, with a flick of the sword tip, he impaled Cao Mao’s left ear on it.
“Old man, fancy some pig’s ear?”
Ye Qiu flicked his hand. Cao Mao’s left ear flew out and landed in front of the Longbrow Immortal.
“This poor Daoist does not eat it. Too smelly,” the Longbrow Immortal said. He stepped forward and crushed Cao Mao’s left ear underfoot, his face full of disgust.
“Bastard!”
Cao Mao saw this scene. He was so furious that every hair on his head stood on end. As a descendant of the War God Family, how could he endure such humiliation?
“Aaah!”
Cao Mao roared towards the sky. His face twisted in rage, like an enraged demon god. In a moment, his combat power reached its peak.
“I will kill you!”
Cao Mao’s eyes gleamed with savagery. With a sudden throw, he hurled the Divine Nether War Spear from his hand.
“Swish…”
The Divine Nether War Spear shot through the air like a bolt of lightning. It carried supreme sharpness, intent on nailing Ye Qiu in mid-air.
Ye Qiu showed no fear. He swung a sword and knocked the Divine Nether War Spear away.
At that instant, Cao Mao charged over. He smashed a fierce fist towards Ye Qiu.
This fist from Cao Mao held incomparable divine power. Blazing light condensed into one, like a golden divine dragon.
Ye Qiu saw this. He thrust a sword out.
“Clang!”
Unexpectedly, the Seven-Coloured Blazing Sun Sword struck Cao Mao’s fist. It erupted with a thunderous roar. Not only did Cao Mao’s fist suffer no injury, but an enormous force crushed over through the sword body.
“Pfft…”
Ye Qiu only felt the power in the sword body like raging waves and billows. It shook him into rapid retreat. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
“Boom!”
After repelling Ye Qiu, Cao Mao urged all his power. He summoned the nine great cavern heavens and madly absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth.
His combat power rose swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, the aura on Cao Mao surged another level. His whole body shone with brilliant golden light, like a true war god. He had the momentum to sweep all before him.
“Ye Changsheng, today I must kill you!”
Cao Mao bellowed. The golden light on his body burned like raging flames. His entire person was like the blazing sun in the sky.
The next second, a sudden change occurred.
A majestic golden phantom of a war god appeared behind Cao Mao. It stood over ten zhang tall, incredibly burly, like a mountain peak. It filled the air with oppressive pressure.
A grave look appeared in Ye Qiu’s eyes. The war god phantom behind Cao Mao was too powerful. It made his breathing feel laboured.
“I truly envy the descendants of these great families. Their foundations are so rich!”
Ye Qiu sighed.
Ever since he stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation, he had encountered fortune after fortune. However, those holy sons and descendants from top sects and super families each either wielded holy artefacts or possessed inherited supreme arts. Their starting points were far higher than Ye Qiu’s.
This gap was like those from poor families in the mortal world. Through their own efforts, they finally bought a house and settled down in the city after decades of struggle. Then, they suddenly realised that what they had fought for half a lifetime was something the rich second generation had from the moment of birth.
The efforts of a commoner disciple for most of a lifetime were merely the starting point for the children of wealthy families. So it is said…
Reincarnation is a technical skill!
The war spear in Cao Mao’s hand was a holy artefact. The armour was a holy artefact. Now, the supreme art he displayed was also extraordinary.
In the end, besides his good talent, he had a good birth.
“Ye Changsheng, is not your combat power very strong?”
“Try taking this fist of mine.”
“Invincible… War God Fist!”
Cao Mao bellowed. He smashed a fist out. At once, the war god phantom behind him also punched towards Ye Qiu.
Cao Mao’s fist fused with the fist shadow of the war god phantom midway. In that instant, his combat power reached an unprecedented height.
After this fist blasted out, the void rumbled. Darkness fell without light. One could only see a massive golden fist in the sky, like a great star. It carried invincible force and smashed out fiercely.
As for Ye Qiu, he was long swallowed in the darkness.
This fist from Cao Mao lived up to his words. It was the Invincible War God Fist. It seemed nothing could block it. Everywhere it passed, everything was destroyed.
The onlookers turned pale with horror.
“So powerful!”
Ye Qiu was in the darkness. Facing this fist, he only felt his bloodline congeal. His face paled. His breathing stopped.
However, there was not a trace of fear between his brows.
“Is this the strongest move of the War God Family descendant?”
“To be honest, it disappoints me a bit.”
“Since you have even used your strongest move, it seems there is no need to continue this battle.”
Ye Qiu drew a talisman with his right hand. At once, his figure vanished from the spot into thin air.
“Boom!”
The Invincible War God Fist finally descended. It nearly shattered the void. The powerful shockwave stirred up ripples like raging waves.
This was a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering lethal strike!
When the ripples dispersed, the onlookers did not see Ye Qiu’s figure.
“Where is he?”
Just as the crowd felt puzzled, Cao Mao sneered: “Ye Changsheng, nothing more than this…”
Before his words finished.
“Pfft!”
A stream of sword qi suddenly appeared. With inconceivable speed, it pierced into the crown of Cao Mao’s head. Following that, Ye Qiu’s figure appeared eerily above Cao Mao’s head.
“What, Ye Changsheng is not dead?”
As the crowd was shocked, Ye Qiu pulled out his long sword. Then, Cao Mao’s head turned into a mist of blood.
