Wu Qinghao died and his path vanished.
The moment his body turned into a blood mist, the Longbrow True Man shot out like lightning and rushed in front of the blood mist.
Ye Qiu quickly withdrew his chaos qi and strange fire, then shouted, “You old thing, are you so desperate for treasures that you do not even care about your own life?”
“Little brat, you misunderstood me. I wanted to smash him to death with a brick, but I did not expect you to act even faster than me.” Although the Longbrow True Man said this, his eyes kept scanning rapidly through the blood mist.
Swish!
The Longbrow True Man swiftly reached out with his right hand and grabbed a spatial ring. His face immediately broke into a delighted grin.
“Found it!”
Seeing the Longbrow True Man acting like this, Ye Qiu felt anger surge up. He gave a heavy cold snort.
Ye Qiu stopped paying attention to the Longbrow True Man and began to think about the power of chaos qi.
Chaos qi could not only be used to refine the body and forge weapons, but could also serve as an unparalleled sharp weapon. Moreover, each strand carried immense weight, and there were as many as thirty-three thousand strands of chaos qi.
No, to be precise, it should be thirty-three thousand and one strands of chaos qi.
Ye Qiu thought to himself that if he became a Saint-level powerhouse and unleashed so much chaos qi, how terrifying would the power be?
“One day, when I become an Emperor-level artefact refiner, I will definitely use this chaos qi to forge a divine weapon capable of slaying the heavens and destroying the earth!”
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu looked at the Longbrow True Man and asked, “Old thing, what good items are inside Wu Qinghao’s spatial ring?”
The Longbrow True Man replied, “Only two things, one Heaven-grade mid-tier spirit pill and one secret manual scroll.”
“Damn it, he was still the divine son of the Chaos Holy Land, yet his spatial ring only contained two items.”
“What a poor bastard!”
After the Longbrow True Man finished speaking, he was about to put away Wu Qinghao’s spatial ring when Ye Qiu said, “Let me take a look at the spatial ring.”
“Little brat, the spatial ring belongs to me, you…” Before the Longbrow True Man could finish, he noticed Ye Qiu’s unfriendly gaze. Afraid that Ye Qiu might attack him, he hurriedly took out the Heaven-grade mid-tier spirit pill and tossed it to Ye Qiu.
“Little brat, there are only two things in Wu Qinghao’s spatial ring. Let us split them evenly. This spirit pill is yours, and I will take that secret manual scroll.”
Ye Qiu could not help feeling surprised.
“This old thing regards wealth as his life. Normally, once a treasure falls into his hands, he would never hand it over obediently unless forced.”
“But now, how is he willing to give me a Heaven-grade mid-tier spirit pill?”
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu understood. The Longbrow True Man’s actions could only mean that the secret manual scroll was far more valuable than the Heaven-grade mid-tier spirit pill.
“What is that secret manual scroll?” Ye Qiu said, “Let me see it.”
The Longbrow True Man clutched the scroll tightly and said, “To be honest with you, this scroll records nothing but formations.”
“Among them are several Saint-level killing formations.”
“Little brat, you know that this poor Daoist likes to study unorthodox paths. This manual belongs to me. Do not try to snatch it from me.”
Ye Qiu felt somewhat astonished.
It was well known that the Primordial Holy Land was established through formations. Li Jian was the divine son of the Primordial Holy Land, yet even his spatial ring contained no formation manuals. Unexpectedly, Wu Qinghao’s spatial ring held a formation manual.
“Little brat, let us rest here for a while,” the Longbrow True Man said.
Ye Qiu asked, “Tired?”
“No, this poor Daoist wants to study this manual here,” the Longbrow True Man said. “There are so many enemies. I cannot let you carry the burden alone. This poor Daoist also wants to help you.”
“I will study the formations.”
“From now on, I will help you kill the enemies.”
“Little brat, rest assured, I will not take too much time. One quarter of an hour is enough.” After saying this, the Longbrow True Man sat on the ground, opened the manual, and began to focus intently on reading it.
Ye Qiu sat down beside him and closed his eyes to rest.
Time passed quietly.
One quarter of an hour arrived.
The Longbrow True Man opened his eyes and said, “Little brat, I have memorised all the formations recorded in this manual, especially those several Saint-level killing formations. I have thoroughly studied them.”
“From now on, whenever you need my help, just say the word.”
“I will assist you.”
Ye Qiu was somewhat sceptical and asked, “With your weak cultivation, can you even set up a Saint-level killing formation?”
“Little brat, you do not understand,” the Longbrow True Man said. “Although this poor Daoist is not a Saint-level powerhouse, does that mean I cannot set up a Saint-level killing formation?”
“Look at some people in the mortal world. They never went to university, yet they still manage to attend university students.”
Ye Qiu’s face darkened. “Vulgar!”
The Longbrow True Man did not mind and said, “Although this poor Daoist’s cultivation is still relatively weak and I cannot casually wave my hand to set up formations like those Saint-level powerhouses, now that I have mastered the formations and combined them with array materials, I can successfully set up Saint-level killing formations.”
Ye Qiu asked, “Do you have the array materials?”
“Yes,” the Longbrow True Man grinned. “Not only do I have them, but I have plenty.”
Ye Qiu instantly understood and asked, “Spirit stones?”
“Smart,” the Longbrow True Man laughed. “We have so many spirit stones on us that even setting up hundreds of Saint-level killing formations would not be a problem.”
“Little brat, just wait and see.”
“When the time comes and I set up the Saint-level killing formations, I will definitely shock you.”
Ye Qiu said, “Do not wait until later. Start now!”
“What do you mean?” The Longbrow True Man was stunned.
Ye Qiu said, “To be safe, from now on, every certain distance, you set up one Saint-level killing formation.”
The Longbrow True Man understood. “I see. You are worried that someone might escape from the cave?”
“Exactly,” Ye Qiu said. “I want to seal their escape route completely.”
The Longbrow True Man reminded him, “Little brat, have you considered that the killing formations can seal the divine sons’ retreat, but they can also seal our own retreat?”
“Just like Wu Qinghao earlier. If he had not sealed his own escape route with a formation and ended up lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot, perhaps he could have struggled a bit longer.”
Ye Qiu said, “I have already thought carefully about everything you mentioned. No need to worry. Just set up the formations.”
“Fine.” Seeing Ye Qiu’s firm attitude, the Longbrow True Man took out spirit stones and began setting up the formation.
The reason Ye Qiu felt so confident was because he possessed an Emperor-grade strange fire.
If the situation truly became desperate, with the Emperor-grade strange fire in his possession, who could do anything to him?
Moreover, the power of the Emperor-grade strange fire was so immense that destroying a Saint-level killing formation would take only a blink of an eye.
After the Longbrow True Man set up one Saint-level killing formation, he followed Ye Qiu and continued walking deeper into the cave.
Along the way, the Longbrow True Man set up three more Saint-level killing formations.
After walking for about twenty minutes, just as they were about to exit the cave, suddenly, a dragon roar resounded.
“Aaang…”
The dragon roar was vast and deafening. Ye Qiu quickly rushed to the exit, looked up, and instantly sucked in a cold breath. “Hiss—”
