Free Web NovelChapter 2149: Chapter 2150: Powerhouses Arrive!
Boom...
A space appeared with ripples like water waves, then this area was opened up, or more accurately, torn open with a gap.
A few figures emerged from within.
"After so many years, stepping back onto this starry river road truly brings back memories," an elder took a deep breath of the air here, revealing a nostalgic expression.
Swish.
Immediately, two more figures jumped out one after another.
They were somewhat younger than the first elder, though they hadn’t been to the starry river road before. Compared to the first elder, they were less powerful, but being able to come here already proved their extraordinary nature.
These three individuals were powerhouses from the Hunyuan Sect, one at a cosmic level and two at half step cosmic realm.
Such a lineup was sufficient to accomplish their mission.
"Alright then, first let’s take care of business, go find the Saint Heir," the elder led the three, speaking up, causing the other two to retract their gazes from the starry river road and head directly to the ancient star city.
Just after the trio left, a hand suddenly stretched out from the gap that was about to heal, forcibly tearing it open before a figure squeezed through the small crevice.
Zhuang Miao Shan exhaled, looking at the healing gap, realizing he almost got blocked outside the starry river road. Fortunately, he caught up in the end and followed the three into the starry river road.
"Have they already gone?" Zhuang Miao Shan glanced around, noting the absence of the three he’d been following.
"I must find them quickly, absolutely cannot let that young brat Ye Fentian fall into harm," Zhuang Miao Shan’s eyes shifted to the direction they disappeared in. As a cosmic-level powerhouse, he could still trace the faint marks left by the trio.
Of course, if those three knew Zhuang Miao Shan had followed, it would indeed be difficult for Zhuang to determine.
Shortly after Zhuang Miao Shan hurried off, another void got torn open slightly, revealing an elder.
"Regardless of whether Ye Fentian is that earth native, merely killing my Donghua Sect’s elder warrants death," the elder spoke, then vanished from the spot again.
The Hunyuan Sect’s people didn’t realize that other sects had also sent experts to the starry river road.
Moreover, their target was the same, all coming for Ye Qiu.
...
Stone Demon Lord sat on the ground, face pale. Despite restoring with all his might, the recovery pace was too slow to allow quick healing.
If it were physical injuries, Stone Demon Lord might endure, but the injuries now affected his soul body.
Ye Qiu wielded a powerful soul body and engaged him, forcing Stone Demon Lord’s soul to break, almost annihilating him in one strike.
If not for last moment utilization of hidden techniques, he would’ve been dead.
"Ye Qiu, you severely injured me, but you won’t come out unscathed either. Your soul attack won’t succeed again," Stone Demon Lord, unable to continue fighting, was in a very weak state; although his body wasn’t greatly hurt, his soul was too fragile, and another hit could very well be deadly.
Before Ye Qiu stood only the Taiyi Saint Heir, with Stone Demon Lord unable to participate, essentially being ignored. freeweɓnøvel.com
As long as he dealt with the Taiyi Saint Heir, he could utterly reverse the situation.
Despite saying this, the reality for Ye Qiu wasn’t optimistic. To seriously injure Stone Demon Lord, he had exposed his powerful soul body, and at the last moment, Stone Demon Lord had inflicted substantial soul damage.
It was truly a matter of harming the enemy a thousand but suffering eight hundred oneself.
If facing Stone Demon Lord alone, Ye Qiu had already won; however, a fully recovered Taiyi Saint Heir was present, and he’d exhausted most of his strength.
Whether he could defeat Taiyi Saint Heir, Ye Qiu didn’t know, but he was confident he could leave alive.
Yet, at this moment, Ye Qiu was unwilling to leave.
Ye Qiu had never been afraid nor yielded to adversity, having survived through the nine-fold Heavenly Tribulation, the hardest in history; how much less this present predicament.
Until the final moment came, Ye Qiu would never leave.
This was the pride of Ye Qiu, and the innate arrogance that had accompanied him throughout his journey where countless life-endangering crises were overcome. Now, he would similarly convert peril into safety.
"You’re strong, truly strong. Honestly, I do look forward to a fair duel with you," Taiyi Saint Heir remarked calmly.
During Ye Qiu’s exchange with Stone Demon Lord, Taiyi hadn’t exerted much force, especially witnessing Ye Qiu’s sudden unleashing of soul attacks which startled him.
He had an instinct that Ye Qiu certainly held hidden techniques, and upon seeing the soul body’s explosive attack, Taiyi understood that’s where Ye Qiu’s secret lay.
To admit, even Taiyi’s soul power couldn’t match Ye Qiu, especially after witnessing Ye Qiu’s soul body; Taiyi was even less inclined to engage Ye Qiu in soul combat, as it’s disadvantageous for him.
Moreover, Taiyi Saint Heir hadn’t demonstrated many techniques yet; he still held cards up his sleeve, enough to handle Ye Qiu.
Even if Ye Qiu possessed three great treasures.
"Fair duel, haha..." Ye Qiu chuckled, his laughter tinged with irony. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Taiyi Saint Heir wasn’t bothered, shifting his tone, "But I, Taiyi, dislike bother. Since I can eliminate you with less effort, why should I go all out? Besides, partnering with others to take you down is also permissible as long as the outcome is what I desire."
"Stop with the nonsense, all that talk is just to mask your refusal to face me alone due to fear of losing, afraid to be defeated by me. That’s why you seek others to ally against me, which is the truth," Ye Qiu countered.
"Say whatever you like, ultimately right now, your remaining strength is paltry. Judging by the outcome of our clash, since you find my words bothersome, I’ll send you to hell," Taiyi concluded before releasing the Ying Long Spear instantly shooting forth.
Swish.
Ye Qiu raised his hand and slashed out a sword, Sword Qi sweeping between heaven and earth, meeting Ying Long Spear.
Ying Long Spear pierced through the Sword Qi, directly hitting the Bahuang Sword as if Taiyi Saint Heir had anticipated. He merely twitched a finger.
The red tassels at the Ying Long Spear’s tip suddenly elongated, transforming into red ropes binding Ye Qiu’s body.
Swish swish swish.
The red ropes behaved like living creatures, attempting to restrain Ye Qiu.
Realizing this, Ye Qiu continuously tried to break free, yet he couldn’t muster enough force; even the Bahuang Sword couldn’t sever these thin, long red ropes.
"These are dragon tendons; not easily broken. Even with the Bahuang Sword in your hand, don’t expect to cut them swiftly," Taiyi’s voice echoed.
The red lines rapidly entwined, nearly binding Ye Qiu like a cocoon, arms and legs completely restrained.
Only his head was exposed.
Taiyi Saint Heir slowly approached, grasping the Ying Long Spear’s shaft, telling Ye Qiu, "After today, the Ying Long Spear will surpass Bahuang Sword in ranking, hence you should meet your end."
With that said, Taiyi lifted an arm and accurately thrust Ying Long Spear into Ye Qiu’s immobilized form.
Poof!
Blood splattered.
