Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 895 - 0 Wallowing with the Masses (Fifth Update)

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Applause echoed as a figure descended the gray stone steps, walking to the ruptured spot. Glancing at Ye Qiu, lying within, he couldn’t help but say, "Truly worthy of being the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect—your strength is indeed astonishing. I am in awe!"

The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect fixed his gaze on the young man before him and responded calmly, "Although we share the same goal of killing him, it seems your contributions in this collaboration were negligible. Even without you, I could have killed him all the same."

"Sect Leader Rakshasa, you are mistaken. Although you made most of the effort this time, do not forget—you aren’t killing just anyone. He is a major general of China. If I weren’t here to handle the aftermath, you’d be facing the full wrath of China’s retaliation. At that point, you’d be neck-deep in trouble. In this world, brute strength isn’t the most dominant force. Modern technology is far more fearsome. Would you really want yourself targeted by China’s top-tier weapons?"

"Just one nuclear weapon, and even if you were at the Mythic Stage—or an even higher realm—you’d still be reduced to ashes, wouldn’t you?"

The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect didn’t refute upon hearing this. If not for concerns about China’s secret weaponry, he wouldn’t have held back. Killing as many as he wanted would have been effortless.

"You haven’t come out of this cooperation at a loss. If he dies, the Dragon Bureau will undoubtedly fall into my hands. My goal is the Dragon Bureau, while your goal is to kill him. For now, you help me kill him, and I won’t shortchange you. Once I take control of the Dragon Bureau, even if the higher-ups want to move against you, I can help cover for you."

"Fine. Considering we have a common enemy, I won’t haggle with you. Just make sure your Dragon Bureau doesn’t trouble me in the future," said the Sect Leader.

"Naturally. Once I take over the Dragon Bureau, I’ll make sure I don’t provoke you. However, I want to confirm—has he completely died?" The young man wanted to ensure Ye Qiu was genuinely dead.

The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect snorted: "Under my two Rule Powers, if a mere Legend Stage could survive, that would truly be a miracle. Do you think my strength is merely for show?"

"If he’s dead, that’s good. Then I can rest assured. As for the follow-up matters, I will handle them for you."

"That would indeed be better." The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect nodded slightly.

Just as the young man was about to leave, a cough interrupted the silence. He immediately froze, while the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect’s expression subtly shifted.

"Sect Leader Rakshasa, the miracle you mentioned seems to have come true. He’s not completely dead!" The young man spoke.

"Hmph." The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect ignored the young man, striding toward the edge of the crater. There, he saw Ye Qiu clutching his chest, holding a bronze mirror in his hand, an inexplicable expression playing across his face.

"I have to thank this Yata Mirror; otherwise, my life would’ve truly been in jeopardy," Ye Qiu said with lingering fear. Earlier, as two Rule Powers struck him, Ye Qiu initially planned to endure with his physical body. At the last moment, though, he remembered the Yata Mirror and quickly brought it out, hoping it could block the dual attacks.

The clash between the Yata Mirror and the Rule Powers immediately brought Ye Qiu immense relief. He discovered that the Yata Mirror could, indeed, withstand the two attacks. He pressed the Yata Mirror tightly against his chest, deflecting most of the Rule Powers and allowing only a small portion to strike him.

Ye Qiu’s body was inherently much stronger than that of martial artists in the same realm, thanks to undergoing significant lightning Body Refinement. Moreover, he summoned the power of Black Flame to shield himself, transforming into the Colored Glaze Diamond Body. Thus, the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect’s attack dealt minimal damage. However, the Fire Rule presented some difficulty, scorching him all over—but Ye Qiu quickly countered with the Ice Rule, narrowly avoiding being burned alive.

Now, only his clothing was partially charred; most of the Fire Rule had been blocked by the Yata Mirror, leaving a mere trace of its power to touch him.

Ye Qiu looked up at the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect’s expression and deliberately waved the Yata Mirror in his hand. If he had survived, it was undoubtedly thanks to the artifact he had snatched from the Sect Leader himself.

The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect wore an ugly expression. Failing to kill Ye Qiu was bad enough—but to add insult to injury, the very Yata Mirror he had lost was what allowed Ye Qiu to escape death.

It was truly like lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot. Naturally, the Sect Leader’s mood was as sour as swallowing a fly.

Ye Qiu stomped the ground and leapt out of the crater.

"Sect Leader Rakshasa, I must thank you for the gift of this treasure. Without it, I really would’ve been on my way to meet King Yan just now. Disappointed, aren’t you?" Ye Qiu laughed loudly, throwing metaphorical fuel onto the fire in the Sect Leader’s heart as he intentionally flaunted the Yata Mirror, mocking his opponent further. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

However, Ye Qiu’s gaze quickly shifted from the Sect Leader to the young man nearby. He was momentarily surprised—what was Wei Ziqing suddenly doing here? Judging from their proximity, it was clear he wasn’t here to deal with the Sect Leader. Otherwise, the two wouldn’t be standing so close together.

"Wei Ziqing, so you’ve betrayed the Dragon Bureau," Ye Qiu’s mind raced. In an instant, he understood that Wei Ziqing must have colluded with the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect.

"Ye Qiu, don’t use such unpleasant words like betrayal. You’re the enemy of the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect, and you’re also my enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We’re joining forces to deal with you—there’s nothing wrong with that," Wei Ziqing said without any trace of nervousness. With the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect present, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be able to harm him.

"Betrayal is betrayal. Wei Ziqing, it seems only one of us will be walking away alive today."

"Of course. But I believe the odds of me leaving alive are much greater," Wei Ziqing said lightly. Then, he turned to the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect and asked, "You should have no problem killing him, right?"

The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect said evenly, "The Yata Mirror may have saved him once, but it won’t do so again. Since the previous Rule Powers failed to kill him, I’ll simply unleash them once more."

With that, the Sect Leader began gathering Rule Power. Wei Ziqing retreated to a safer distance. His eyes glinted; if the Sect Leader failed to kill Ye Qiu, he would flee at the first opportunity. Engaging Ye Qiu in close combat would spell certain defeat.

"Coming at me again?" Ye Qiu frowned as he saw the Sect Leader preparing to unleash Rule Power anew. He had no desire to be blasted into the earth once more. Since both of these men deserved to die, a thought arose in Ye Qiu’s mind—it was time to employ that power.

The moment the decision was made, the Sect Leader noticed a ghostly smirk creeping across Ye Qiu’s face.

Ye Qiu slowly unsheathed the Kusanagi Sword. The Sect Leader scoffed, "You think the Kusanagi Sword alone can stand against my Rule Power? The Yata Mirror can only block attacks a limited number of times before it shatters."

But soon, the Sect Leader realized something strange about Ye Qiu’s aura. He saw Ye Qiu’s face being consumed by blackness, eerie patterns spreading across half of it, lending him a terrifying appearance.

"What is this power? How could it suddenly skyrocket several times?" the Sect Leader thought, alarmed.

At this moment, Ye Qiu activated his blackened power. With a faint smile, he locked eyes with his opponent, gripping the Kusanagi Sword as he slowly stepped toward the Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect.
