Boom!
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, the black flame floating in the air suddenly transformed into a hundred-zhang fire dragon, instantly swallowing Su Wuming’s primordial spirit.
“Ah…”
Su Wuming let out a shrill scream, and his primordial spirit was reduced to ashes on the spot.
This scene stunned everyone.
No one had expected that Ye Qiu, with such low cultivation, could rely on this miraculous strange fire to burn Su Wuming until nothing remained, body and soul alike.
This was the second Divine Son of the Yin-Yang Sect!
Dead just like that?
Too ruthless!
The thousands of guards in the City Lord’s Mansion looked at Ye Qiu with eyes full of terror, as if in their view, Ye Qiu was a demon king.
“Come back!”
Ye Qiu gave a light shout.
The hundred-zhang fire dragon immediately reverted to its previous form, becoming as small as a soybean again, hovering on Ye Qiu’s fingertip.
Then Ye Qiu looked up into the void.
Because of Su Wuming’s death, the two elders of the Yin-Yang Sect were both furious and enraged, wishing they could rush down and kill Ye Qiu immediately. But they were entangled by Elder Niu and could not spare a moment, so they could only vent their anger on Elder Niu.
Elder Niu was extremely powerful. Facing attacks from two Saints, he did not fall behind.
The three Saints fought fiercely, locked in a deadlock.
It seemed that neither side could determine a winner anytime soon.
After that, Ye Qiu’s gaze fell on the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion. He took one step forward.
Whoosh!
As soon as Ye Qiu’s foot landed, all the thousands of guards retreated one step in unison.
Ye Qiu took another step forward.
Whoosh!
The thousands of guards retreated another step.
In short, for every step Ye Qiu advanced, the guards took one step back. Some were even trembling all over in fear.
The scene was somewhat comical.
Ye Qiu touched his nose and said with a smile, “What are you all afraid of? I am not a devil.”
But you are more terrifying than any devil.
A devil at least leaves a corpse behind when taking a life. You kill people and do not even leave a scrap of bone.
Better to stay far away from you.
That was the thought in every guard’s mind.
“Boring.” Ye Qiu turned his head, his gaze landing on the two peak Tongshen guards.
The two guards had solemn expressions, with cold killing intent hidden between their brows.
They hated Ye Qiu to the core.
First they followed Lu Fugui, and Lu Fugui was killed.
Then they followed Su Wuming, thinking that following a Divine Son would bring them a bright future. Who knew Su Wuming would also be burned to death by Ye Qiu?
Ye Qiu was simply their destined nemesis.
Ye Qiu ignored the killing intent from the two guards and said cheerfully, “You two, there is one thing I need to explain to you.”
“The deaths of Lu Fugui and Su Wuming are actually not my fault. You should blame yourselves.”
“Because… you two are destined to bring doom to your masters.”
What the hell kind of logic is that?
You are the one who killed them, yet you blame us? Have you no shame?
Besides, we have heard of bringing doom to wives, husbands, or children, but never to one’s own master.
The two guards glared furiously at Ye Qiu.
“Alright, I cannot be bothered to waste words with you. Su Wuming is already dead. If you want to avenge him, come at me.” Ye Qiu said.
The two guards stood in place, not making a move.
They desperately wanted to tear Ye Qiu apart, but whenever they thought of the horrific way Su Wuming had been burned to death, fear gripped them.
Ye Qiu cursed, “No wonder you can only serve as guards with such cultivation. Trash is trash.”
“You…” The two guards stared viciously at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu ignored them and scanned the entire group of guards. He said, “I killed your city lord. Are you not going to avenge him?”
Joking. Attacking you would mean death.
Not a single one of the thousands of guards spoke. Not one dared to charge at Ye Qiu. They all remained silent, staring at him.
The Longbrow True Person frowned. “Little brat, none of these people are making a move. They are all surrounding us. This situation is not looking good!”
Ye Qiu smiled. “It is easy to handle.”
“What are you planning to do?” the Longbrow True Person asked.
“Mass cremation.” After saying that, Ye Qiu pointed towards the sky.
Instantly, the black flame surged upwards like a massive fire dragon. Then it exploded in mid-air.
Sparks fell like rain, pouring down in torrents.
The scene was utterly horrifying.
“Run!”
Someone shouted, and the thousands of guards fled for their lives. Even the two peak Tongshen guards panicked and ran in terror.
They knew full well how terrifying that black flame was. The slightest touch meant certain death.
However, the entire City Lord’s Mansion had already been sealed by two killing arrays set up by the two Yin-Yang Sect elders. The barriers were airtight. With only these guards and the two protectors, there was no way they could break through a Saint-level killing array.
In an instant, screams filled the air nonstop.
Wails echoed everywhere.
Within the sea of fire, one guard after another was reduced to ashes.
It was a scene of utter misery.
The Longbrow True Person felt terror in his heart and thought to himself that he was lucky it was Ye Qiu who controlled this strange fire. If an enemy had it, he himself might have ended up like those guards, burned until nothing remained.
“I was originally kind, but heaven will not allow it.”
“I was originally merciful, but the world is full of danger.”
Ye Qiu said expressionlessly.
After arriving in the cultivation world for so long and experiencing several life-and-death crises, he had finally understood completely: if your heart is not ruthless, you cannot stand firm.
This was a world of the survival of the fittest. Morality and ethics meant nothing. Whoever had the strongest fist was king.
“Ye Changsheng, how dare you treat the people of our Yin-Yang Sect like this? You will die a horrible death.”
In the void, the Fifth Elder of the Yin-Yang Sect saw this scene and his eyes turned blood-red with rage.
He wanted to remove the Saint-level killing arrays, but he was entangled by Elder Niu and could not free himself. He could only watch helplessly as the thousands of guards perished in the sea of fire.
Ye Qiu said loudly, “Thanks to you setting up two Saint-level killing arrays. Otherwise, some would have escaped. In that sense, I should thank you.”
The two Saints were so angry they nearly spat blood.
They had set up the killing arrays with the intention of capturing Ye Qiu and killing Elder Niu and the Longbrow True Person. Who could have imagined that these two arrays would instead cut off all escape routes for the guards?
Soon, the thousands of guards were burned until nothing remained.
Only the two peak Tongshen guards were left, darting around the City Lord’s Mansion, desperately avoiding the black flames.
However, after the guards died, the black flame split into two long dragons. Under Ye Qiu’s control, they began chasing the two protectors.
In no time, one protector was caught by the black flames and burned until not even bones remained.
The other protector saw his companion die, with black flames pursuing him from behind and the Saint-level killing arrays sealing the entire mansion. Knowing he could not escape, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and charged towards Ye Qiu.
“Ye Changsheng, I will take you down with me… Ah!”
The protector suddenly screamed. Before he could even get close to Ye Qiu, the black flames enveloped his entire body.
In just a few seconds, the protector was burned to ashes.
With that, the entire City Lord’s Mansion had no survivors left. On the ground lay a thick layer of bone ash.
Then Ye Qiu’s gaze turned towards the two killing arrays.
“Burn!”
With a deep shout from Ye Qiu, the black flames surged into the sky, and the Saint-level killing arrays collapsed completely.
