“You little brat, how dare you abandon me and run off?”
Ye Wudi cursed furiously.
At that moment, Dragon Lady’s figure flashed past Ye Wudi, chasing after Ye Qiu.
Ye Wudi tried to intercept her, but Dragon Lady was too fast, and he couldn’t keep up.
Thus, a comical scene unfolded.
Ye Qiu was fleeing for his life in front, Dragon Lady was pursuing him from behind, and Ye Wudi was chasing Dragon Lady in turn.
After Ye Qiu used a lightning talisman, his speed became extraordinarily fast.
In three minutes, he had dashed several kilometres.
Looking back, he saw Dragon Lady was only three hundred metres away.
“Bloody hell, how is this woman so fast? She’s a freak.”
Ye Qiu was horrified, exerting every ounce of his strength, desperately sprinting forward.
He knew that if he could escape back to the Northern Territory, he’d be safe.
After all, the Northern Territory had an army of a million.
Even if Dragon Lady was the fourth-ranked master on the Divine List with formidable cultivation, she would be powerless against a million troops.
However, Ye Qiu’s plan was flawed.
Soon, Dragon Lady’s figure appeared behind him, only a dozen metres away.
“Kid, you actually thought you could escape from me? Too naive.”
Dragon Lady sneered, lightly tapping her foot on the ground. Her body soared into the air, instantly appearing in front of Ye Qiu.
She blocked his path.
Ye Qiu didn’t choose to confront Dragon Lady head-on. This woman’s skills were terrifying, and fighting her directly was suicide.
In a moment of desperation, Ye Qiu shifted his steps, his body darting like an arrow in another direction.
Though Ye Qiu was fast, Dragon Lady was faster.
Whoosh!
With a flicker, Dragon Lady blocked Ye Qiu again.
Ye Qiu changed direction repeatedly, over a dozen times, but he couldn’t break through her interception, only exhausting himself to the point of panting.
With no other choice, Ye Qiu stopped, saying glumly, “Dragon Lady, why do you keep chasing me?”
Dragon Lady replied coldly, “Because you killed my subordinates. I’m going to kill you to avenge them.”
Ye Qiu grew even angrier. “If you want revenge, go after Xiao Jiu!”
“Sure, I killed your subordinates, but if I hadn’t, they would’ve killed me. Can you blame me for that?”
“Are you targeting me because you think I’m an easy mark?”
Dragon Lady glanced at Ye Qiu with icy eyes. “Targeting you? You’re not even worthy.”
Damn, she’s looking down on me!
Ye Qiu was so furious his teeth itched. If it were anyone else, he’d rush over and fight without hesitation, but against Dragon Lady, he held back.
He had no choice; this woman’s skills were too formidable.
Dragon Lady said indifferently, “I can see you have a good relationship with Ye Wudi. For his sake, I won’t make things difficult for you. End your own life.”
What, that’s not making things difficult?
Ye Qiu snapped, “Dragon Lady, don’t push me.”
“If you insist on killing me, I’ll make sure you pay a heavy price, even if it costs me my life.”
Dragon Lady laughed disdainfully. “I’d like to see how you’ll make me pay a heavy price.”
At this point, there was no choice but to fight.
“Whoosh!”
Ye Qiu charged at Dragon Lady, throwing a punch.
Dragon Lady raised her hand, effortlessly blocking Ye Qiu’s fist, and mocked, “With this little strength, you think you can make me pay? You’re quite amusing.”
Before she finished speaking, a loud “Boom!” echoed.
Dragon Lady looked up to see five bolts of lightning striking down from the sky. Not only did she not dodge, but she soared upward, delivering five palm strikes at the lightning.
Instantly, the five bolts were deflected.
“This…”
Ye Qiu’s face was full of shock. He hadn’t expected his Five Thunder Spell to be so easily broken by Dragon Lady. He immediately unleashed the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Swoosh!
A sword qi shot towards Dragon Lady.
She didn’t dodge, only slowly raising her right hand.
“She’s actually blocking the Six Meridians Divine Sword with her bare hand? She’s asking for trouble.” Just as Ye Qiu thought this, he saw the sword qi strike the back of Dragon Lady’s hand.
His pupils contracted sharply.
The back of Dragon Lady’s hand, hit by the sword qi, was completely unscathed.
“How is this possible? Has she cultivated something like the Buddhist Diamond Invulnerability technique?”
Ye Qiu was utterly shocked.
Dragon Lady caressed her white gloves, saying, “I forgot to tell you, these gloves are made of celestial silk. They’re impervious to fire and immune to sharp weapons.”
“Naturally, they’re not afraid of your sword qi.”
“Ye Qiu, you’ve delayed me long enough. If I don’t kill you now, Xiao Jiu and the others will really make it back to the Northern Territory.”
Dragon Lady’s figure moved like lightning. As her words fell, she was already upon him.
Slap!
Her palm, accompanied by a gust of wind and a powerful airflow, struck towards Ye Qiu’s chest with thunderous force.
This palm was simple and direct, without any flourish, yet it carried an unmatched power.
It was as fast as light.
Ye Qiu had no time to dodge and could only throw a punch in response.
Bang!
A loud explosion.
Like a kite with a broken string, Ye Qiu was sent flying, crashing to the ground with a “thud,” blood spurting from his mouth.
“Accept your fate. You’re no match for me.”
Dragon Lady stepped towards Ye Qiu, her eyes cold, devoid of any pity.
To Ye Qiu, such a gaze was an insult, but he was helpless. Dragon Lady was simply too strong.
Ye Qiu struggled to his feet and said, “Dragon Lady, if you dare kill me, Ye Wudi will never marry you in this lifetime.”
Dragon Lady laughed. “You abandoned Ye Wudi and fled alone. Someone like you isn’t fit to be his brother. If I kill you, Ye Wudi won’t blame me.”
“I’m not his brother,” Ye Qiu said. “Ye Wudi is my third uncle, by blood.”
Hm?
Dragon Lady paused. “Are you serious?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ye Wudi. He’s already here.” Ye Qiu pointed behind her.
Dragon Lady turned to look, but there was no sign of Ye Wudi. When she turned back, Ye Qiu had already dashed a hundred metres away.
“Hmph, you dared to trick me? You’re courting death!”
Dragon Lady was furious and quickly gave chase.
The two sped across the snowy ground in a rapid pursuit.
A few minutes later, Dragon Lady caught up to Ye Qiu, landing a palm on his back.
Slap!
Ye Qiu was sent flying over twenty metres, crashing to the ground, blood streaming from his mouth.
Large drops fell, staining the snow red.
“Am I really going to die at the hands of this tigress today?”
I’m not reconciled!
Ye Qiu’s mind raced, searching for a way to escape.
He knew that in this situation, defeating Dragon Lady to change his fate was unrealistic. The gap in their realms wasn’t something he could bridge in a short time. His only option was to flee.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed in Ye Qiu’s mind. His hands swiftly formed seals in front of him, and he muttered incantations under his breath.
“What, still trying to resist?” Dragon Lady sneered. “It’s useless. Just accept your death obediently!”
“You really think you can kill me?” Ye Qiu sneered back, then suddenly slammed his head into the ground.
