Chapter 917: 0917 Step over my dead body before you speak! (Second Update)
Outside Fengshan Villa, Liu Wen stood in the woods, gazing at the two figures locked in combat. A hint of a smile crept onto his face.
The reason Wei Ziqing’s master showed up was, of course, because Liu Wen had ventured into the mountains, waited painstakingly for over ten days, and then divulged the events surrounding Wei Ziqing and his own ancestor. Upon hearing that his beloved disciple had been slain and that the Liu family had also lost a promising protege in their quest for vengeance, Wei Ziqing’s master flew into a rage.
He immediately decided to abandon his seclusion and meditation, vowing to seek vengeance for his disciple and reclaim everything the Liu family had lost.
Thus, Wei Ziqing’s master arrived and quickly located Fengshan Villa.
"Ye Qiu, I won’t let you off so easily! You caused the downfall of my Liu family. If you don’t die, this grudge will never be settled!"
Standing beneath the shade of the trees, Liu Wen cursed Ye Qiu, willing him to die at the hands of Wei Ziqing’s master.
In midair, Ye Qiu clashed with his opponent, clearly at a disadvantage. The old man’s strength was terrifyingly overwhelming, pressing Ye Qiu hard from the very start.
"Truly a martial prodigy. Initially, I found it hard to believe someone like you could have killed that Liu family member. Seems I underestimated the current world, where rare talents like you emerge."
"If you hadn’t killed my disciple, I might have spared you. But I cherished that one apprentice, and now he’s dead at your hands. As his master, I am compelled to kill you. Prepare to meet your end!"
The elder sneered coldly. His body surged with a vivid, rainbow-like aura as a colossal force split through the heavens, creating an unmistakable east-to-west scar across the skyline.
But Ye Qiu’s concern wasn’t over this display. What unsettled him was the energy emanating from the elder—something that seemed beyond the Mythic Realm, yet still retained its aura.
Could it be that he had already placed one foot beyond the Mythic Realm, reaching an even higher threshold?
Breaking through the Mythic Realm—what kind of power would that entail? While Ye Qiu didn’t fully understand, he suspected figures like Mo Lao and the elder from Yun Shang Palace were also beings who surpassed the Mythic Realm. Such power was far beyond what he could contend with.
Fortunately, the elder’s aura was unstable. He hadn’t fully broken through; he merely exhibited traces of this more transcendent energy.
Even so, Ye Qiu didn’t dare to lower his guard, steeling himself to his utmost limits.
Battle!
The light in Ye Qiu’s eyes was not one of fear, but a blazing will to fight. This opponent was fiercer than any he had faced before, demanding Ye Qiu’s unyielding focus.
"Even if I’m at the Legendary Realm, I still have the strength for a fight," Ye Qiu murmured.
The elder’s descending strikes from the heavens came crashing down in an instant. On the ground, Ye Qiu kept dodging, causing the elder’s attacks to miss their mark.
Not being able to take to the air was Ye Qiu’s weakness, especially when facing a Mythic Realm expert.
"Do you think I’ll make the same mistake as that Liu family War God? Ignoring my advantage and insisting on close combat?" the elder mocked cruelly, keeping Ye Qiu under constant pressure without giving him a chance to counterattack effectively.
Watching from a distance, Caroline saw how Ye Qiu’s evasive maneuvers were growing increasingly desperate. Anxiously, she racked her brain for ways to help. If she intervened, she’d most likely make matters worse. Yet she couldn’t just stand idly by and watch Ye Qiu being pummeled.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up—she thought of Jin Yu.
A moment later, Caroline led Jin Yu out of the villa. A sharp screech rang through the sky. Seeing Ye Qiu being relentlessly attacked, Jin Yu immediately rushed toward the elder.
"Hah, do you think a mere beast dares to attack me?" The elder sneered coldly.
In an instant, he flipped his palm. Ye Qiu’s expression darkened as he realized the danger to Jin Yu. Sensing the elder’s menacing attack, Jin Yu swiftly changed its course.
"Trying to escape?" The elder remained unmoved, his hand darting forward to grab at the air. frёewebnoѵēl.com
A massive, invisible hand seized Jin Yu, imprisoning it. Jin Yu felt its body being squeezed relentlessly, as if it would be crushed into pieces.
Jin Yu let out a distressed cry, its voice full of agony. Ye Qiu was enraged—this decrepit old man was trying to kill Jin Yu.
Without hesitation, Ye Qiu sprinted forward, leaping across one structure after another. Finally, he launched himself from the highest rooftop. In midair, his Kusanagi Sword ignited, unleashing a hundred-zhang-long Sword Qi that tore through the sky.
Swish!
The massive Sword Qi bore down with earth-shattering power, slashing toward the elder. The elder’s expression showed a trace of surprise—Ye Qiu had managed to unleash such an attack.
Forced to act, the elder abandoned his attempt to kill the "little beast." His invisible hand clashed with the Sword Qi, producing a deafening metallic screech.
In the end, the invisible hand dissolved, and the Sword Qi was mostly neutralized. By the time it reached the elder, only a faint remnant of its energy remained—easily deflected with a casual swipe of his hand.
Jin Yu, spared from death, flew over to Ye Qiu and carried him upon its back.
Ye Qiu quickly inspected Jin Yu, relieved to find it unharmed.
"You big lug! Even daring to take on a Mythic Realm expert—you almost got yourself killed." Ye Qiu scolded Jin Yu.
Woo woo!
Jin Yu replied with a couple of forlorn cries, looking pitiful.
"I know you meant to help, but against such powerful foes, charging in recklessly will only get you hurt. Next time, weigh your strength against theirs, understand?"
Jin Yu nodded its head.
Despite his words, Ye Qiu noticed that Jin Yu’s defensive power was truly remarkable. The elder’s earlier attack would have obliterated a True Qi Realm martial artist in an instant, yet Jin Yu withstood it for two whole breaths without sustaining any injury.
This big fellow, given its continued feeding on elixirs, might become even fiercer in the future.
Ye Qiu could already imagine a day when Jin Yu might stand toe-to-toe against a Mythic Realm expert, becoming a genuinely majestic and extraordinary beast.
In this world, probably only Ye Qiu could afford to spend precious elixirs on raising Jin Yu. Anyone else would have been heartbroken long ago.
Seeing Jin Yu still lively and unharmed, the elder was slightly surprised. "That big bird... its defensive power isn’t bad."
"You’re quite close to that bird, aren’t you?" the elder remarked, his gaze fixed on Ye Qiu.
When Ye Qiu remained silent, the elder continued, "I see now. You’re trying to use that bird to compensate for your inability to fly. Heh... Did I guess right?"
"In that case, if I were to kill it, would you feel heartbroken?" the elder said coldly. "I’ll let you taste the pain of loss, too."
The elder’s murderous intent was now fully unleashed. This time, his hostility was clearly directed at Jin Yu.
Ye Qiu’s expression turned grim. This old demon targeting Jin Yu was a bad turn of events. Had he known this would happen, he would have kept Jin Yu out of the fight altogether.
But now, with the elder openly fixated on Jin Yu, there was no way he’d let it go easily. His thirst for revenge over his fallen disciple had transformed into a vendetta against Jin Yu, clearly aiming at retribution in kind.
"If you want to kill it, you’ll have to step over my corpse first!"
Ye Qiu’s gaze turned icy as he spoke.
