“Swish!”
An Ruoxi stepped forward. In the next second, he vanished from everyone’s sight.
It was not that An Ruoxi had a means of invisibility, but his speed was too fast.
Ye Qiu only felt his eyes blur. An Ruoxi appeared at his side. He did not even have time to react before An Ruoxi struck his shoulder with a palm.
“Pfft!”
Ye Qiu grunted dully. He flew sideways. A mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.
Ye Qiu’s body had not yet landed when An Ruoxi appeared beside him again.
“Ye Changsheng, you are not my opponent.”
As An Ruoxi’s words fell, a fist smashed over fiercely. The terrifying fist momentum was like mountains toppling and seas overturning. It slammed hard into Ye Qiu’s body.
“Bang!”
Ye Qiu’s body flew high into the air again. Even with the War God Armour protecting him, Ye Qiu felt his qi and blood surge wildly. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth like a stream. He suffered no light internal injury.
“So fast!”
Ye Qiu was utterly shocked in his heart. He had seen many experts skilled in speed, but a powerhouse as fast as An Ruoxi was the first he encountered.
An Ruoxi’s speed could only be described in four words.
Terrifying beyond measure!
Ye Qiu’s body plummeted rapidly towards the ground. At this time, An Ruoxi appeared silently behind him.
“Bang!”
Ye Qiu was kicked in the back. His body arced like a parabola through the air. In the end, it smashed hard onto the ground three hundred metres away.
“Thud!”
The moment Ye Qiu landed, he felt as if his five viscera and six bowels had shifted. His whole body ached terribly. Blood sprayed nonstop from his mouth.
After three strikes, An Ruoxi stood in the air. His brows were sharp as swords. He resembled a god high above. With hands behind his back, he said: “Ye Changsheng, you are nothing special!”
The scene was filled with shock.
“Is not this Holy Son of the Mending Heaven Sect too strong?”
“Ye Changsheng could kill even Cao Mao, yet he cannot block a single strike from An Ruoxi. Unbelievable!”
“An Ruoxi is the true peerless genius!”
“…”
“Junior Brother, what is going on?” The Longbrow Immortal asked Mo Tianji.
When An Ruoxi acted earlier, the Longbrow Immortal had not even caught a glimpse of his shadow.
“An Ruoxi’s speed is too fast. Big Brother had no time to react before he was hit.”
Mo Tianji’s youthful face was full of gravity. He said: “An Ruoxi’s speed is absolutely invincible in the same realm. I dare say, even a mid Nascent Soul cultivator might not be this fast.”
The Longbrow Immortal was startled: “Could this bastard have cultivated some speed divine ability?”
Mo Tianji said: “He does not seem to have used a divine ability.”
What, no divine ability?
Does that not mean An Ruoxi’s natural speed is already this fast?
How is that possible!
In an instant, the Longbrow Immortal could not help but worry for Ye Qiu. He said: “The little brat has mastered a speed divine ability, but I wonder if it can contend with An Ruoxi?”
“If An Ruoxi absolutely suppresses the little brat in speed, then even with the God-Striking Whip in hand, this battle will be very difficult for him.”
“After all, in the world of martial arts, only speed breaks all.”
Lin Daniao also said worriedly: “If Big Brother cannot hold off An Ruoxi, then we are in danger too.”
On the other side.
Wei Wuji saw An Ruoxi send Ye Qiu flying. His grave expression finally eased. He thought to himself: “No wonder An Ruoxi is so confident. Now it seems he has the strength to kill Ye Changsheng.”
Wei Wuji thought of the three who died. Sadness and anger rose in his heart. He said lowly: “Brother Cao, Brother Tuoba, Brother Pei, rest assured. Brother An will surely twist off Ye Changsheng’s head to pay homage to your spirits in heaven.”
At this moment.
An Ruoxi’s voice rang out again: “Ye Changsheng, can you still get up?”
“If you cannot get up, then this battle can end.”
Ye Qiu’s injuries were actually not severe. An Ruoxi said this merely to humiliate him.
“Hmph!”
Ye Qiu snorted coldly. His body leaped up. Then, looking at An Ruoxi standing in the air, he said: “Do not get complacent. This battle has not even started.”
“In my eyes, the outcome of this battle is already set. You will surely die.” After An Ruoxi finished, he took a step forward.
Whoosh.
An Ruoxi’s figure was like a gust of wind. He appeared before Ye Qiu in an instant. It was even faster than lightning.
This time, Ye Qiu was prepared. When An Ruoxi moved, he used One Step Ten Li and rushed into the high sky.
“Your speed is fast, but mine is not slow either… What?”
Ye Qiu’s expression changed abruptly.
He had thought using One Step Ten Li would shake off An Ruoxi. But when he turned his head, he was shocked to find An Ruoxi right beside him, less than half a metre away.
“What kind of method is this? How can his speed be this fast?”
Ye Qiu’s pupils shrank sharply.
“Ye Changsheng, compared to me in speed, you are far inferior.” As An Ruoxi’s last word fell, his fist had already landed on Ye Qiu’s back.
“Pfft!”
Ye Qiu spat blood and flew out.
This was An Ruoxi’s fourth strike, and the fourth time he hit Ye Qiu. His speed was too fast. Ye Qiu had no chance to counter at all.
“Thud!”
Ye Qiu crashed to the ground. Dust flew up in a cloud. Though he wore the War God Armour, he still looked somewhat dishevelled.
As for An Ruoxi, he stood in the air. No aura fluctuations could be seen on his body. His long robe fluttered in the wind. With hands behind his back, he had an otherworldly, detached air.
“Come over. I will send you on your way.”
An Ruoxi looked down at Ye Qiu. He crooked a finger in provocation.
“Damn it, I refuse to believe my speed is slower than yours.” With this thought, Ye Qiu placed his right hand behind his back. He quietly drew a hundred lightning talismans. Then, he used One Step Ten Li again.
“Swish!”
Ye Qiu shot out like a residual shadow. Carrying immense force, he crashed towards An Ruoxi.
Unexpectedly, before he could get close to An Ruoxi, An Ruoxi’s figure flashed away.
“You are too slow.”
Then, An Ruoxi’s voice came from beside his ear. Ye Qiu had just turned when he was struck flying by a palm again.
Bang!
Ye Qiu fell before the Longbrow Immortal. His whole body felt like it would fall apart. Blood flowed nonstop from the corner of his mouth.
“Little brat, how are you?” The Longbrow Immortal quickly helped Ye Qiu up.
“This guy’s speed is too fast.” Ye Qiu said.
“Big Brother, let me lend you a hand.” After Mo Tianji spoke, he took out a talisman.
“What is this talisman for?” Ye Qiu asked.
Mo Tianji answered: “This talisman can help you increase your speed.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up. The reason he was so battered was entirely because An Ruoxi’s speed was too fast. If his own speed could be a bit faster, then he could clash head-on with An Ruoxi.
“How do I use the talisman?” Ye Qiu asked.
“I will help you.” Mo Tianji pasted the talisman on Ye Qiu’s back. Then, he formed seals with both hands and shot a strand of white light into the talisman. Following that, he shouted loudly: “Speed doubled!”
