Chapter 2151: Chapter 2152: Am I Just a Fish to Be Cut Up? (Third Update)
"Oh? It seems the battle is quite fierce." As Hongyuan Holy Son and the others approached, an elder observed the battlefield, speaking softly.
When his gaze fell upon the Taiyi Holy Son, he exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t this the monstrous descendant of the Taiyi Divine Sect? No wonder, no wonder."
"Ye Fentian, we meet again—eh... it really is him!" Hongyuan Holy Son discovered that Ye Qiu’s appearance had undergone some changes, similar to when he previously saw Ye Qiu on Earth. It seems his guess was correct; Ye Fentian is indeed Ye Qiu.
Upon seeing the Bahuang Sword and Taihuang Bell appearing before Ye Qiu, he was certain it was undoubtedly Ye Qiu.
He guessed right, Ye Fentian really is Ye Qiu. This time, he called the sect’s experts, and he indeed called the right people.
Previously, because of the Five Tiger General Zhang Yunhu, he had clashed with Ye Qiu. The result was Ye Qiu defeating Zhang Yunhu, leaving him in disgrace. Subsequently, Ye Qiu also stole his Xuanyuan Force, making him incredibly resentful of Ye Qiu.
When he was weaker, he could endure it, but today, with the sect’s experts present, he no longer needed to endure.
This time, the sect sent a Heaven-tier Elder and two half-step Heaven-tier masters, any of whom could thoroughly defeat Ye Qiu, allowing him to exact his revenge.
The Five Tiger Generals also didn’t hide the hatred in their expressions. Ye Qiu had weakened their powers, a wound that still affected three of them.
"Is he Ye Fentian? Is he the native from Earth, Ye Qiu?"
After glancing at Taiyi Holy Son, the gaze of the three elders shifted uniformly to Ye Qiu. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Heaven-tier!"
Faced with the three elders, Ye Qiu felt a terrifying unease, as if the three before him weren’t humans, but ancient beasts. Just standing there, they induced a feeling of awe and apprehension.
The only thing capable of making him feel such pressure was the Heaven Realm.
"Misfortunes never come singly."
Ye Qiu sensed the gaze of the three men on him was full of scrutiny, curiosity, and disdain.
Evidently, these three had a significant relationship with Hongyuan Holy Son, or else why would they appear together, especially as Hongyuan Holy Son’s face was filled with glee, obviously having brought people for revenge.
What’s unexpected is that the people brought by Hongyuan Holy Son were Heaven-tier.
Isn’t the Starry River path populated by the younger generation? Even if there are older Martial Artists, they are order enforcers within the Starry River Ancient City, but these few...
"Ye Qiu, it really is you. Are you surprised there would be Heaven-tier experts here to help me?" Hongyuan Holy Son said smugly.
"I’ve waited for this day for a long time. I knew you were Ye Qiu; Ye Fentian is your false identity. Today, seeing you, it truly is the case."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu understood that his identity as Ye Fentian had long been seen through by Ye Qiu.
This was quite unexpected; he really didn’t know how Hongyuan Holy Son had figured it out. He remembered not having revealed any traces.
"You always thought you were hiding well, didn’t you? Do you want to know how I discovered it?"
Now being targeted by Heaven-tier experts, Ye Qiu realized he was in danger. Of course, he also wanted to know where he had exposed his identity.
Hongyuan Holy Son didn’t mind telling him; being able to guess Ye Qiu’s identity was a skill, and at least he was the first to realize it.
"I might as well tell you; your biggest flaw was rescuing Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng, and you also carry the surname Ye. These two points were enough to expose your identity."
That’s where it was.
Ye Qiu understood; if it were like this, under a watchful observer, it’s indeed easy to notice.
"So, you contacted the sect behind you, and had them come to deal with me?" Ye Qiu asked, already guessing where these three experts came from.
As a major sect, there must be special methods enabling entry to the Starry River path. Even if Gu Tian could enter, for some sects, it might not be difficult.
"Smart. Today let’s see how long your arrogance lasts; it’s time to pay the price for your previous actions." After Hongyuan Holy Son finished speaking, he addressed the three elders beside him, "Elders, this is Ye Qiu, the Earth native."
"We have seen for ourselves; it really is the Bahuang Sword and Taihuang Bell, two of Ge Tian’s three great treasures. Tsk tsk..." The leader clicked his tongue in admiration.
The fact that Ye Fentian is truly Ye Qiu was an exciting surprise. Previously, when Ye Qiu was on Earth, we couldn’t touch him due to Earth’s laws blocking us, but now, that’s no longer the case. Ye Qiu, here on the Starry River path, no longer gets Earth’s protection.
"Holy Son, you’ve done well. Leave the rest to us; we will surely avenge you and seize Ge Tian’s treasures. You will have made a great contribution." The elder signaled to surrender Ye Qiu to them.
Hongyuan Holy Son nodded, knowing he wasn’t as strong as Ye Qiu; otherwise, he wouldn’t have called the sect’s people.
Hongyuan Holy Son bowed, "Then I’ll be relying on Elder Huang, hoping you don’t kill him in one strike; my men and I want to finish him ourselves."
"Haha, of course. With us here, he’s merely a lamb for slaughter."
The three elders stood at the forefront, and two half-step Heaven-tier elders slowly approached, preparing to deal with Ye Qiu. The Taiyi Holy Son observed this silently; with the Heaven-tier of Hunyuan Sect present, even a monstrous talent like him couldn’t act rashly before such powerful beings.
However, the Hunyuan Sect wouldn’t dare kill him. Regardless, he was a Saint Heir, and to attack him would mean an endless feud against his Taiyi Divine Sect.
The Hunyuan Sect certainly wouldn’t do such a thing.
"Taiyi Holy Son, how would it be if we handle this person?" The two elders deliberately asked Taiyi Holy Son, knowing it was not him they feared, but the Taiyi Divine Sect behind him.
With his current strength, killing Ye Qiu would indeed be difficult, a pity indeed, yet Ye Qiu dying at the hands of these people was acceptable, though he regretted losing Ge Tian’s treasure.
The Taihuang Bell was a treasure he very much desired.
The Taiyi Holy Son said nothing and silently stepped aside, conceding the battlefield.
The real Heaven-tier did not make a move, instead leaving it to two half-step Heaven-tier elders to deal with him. Even so, Ye Qiu still felt the immense pressure, like two mountains weighing on him.
"His holder wants us to spare your life. Since you enjoy stripping others of their power, today we’ll first strip yours."
"Let me take him on."
"I can do it too."
The two elders argued, both wanting to take action against Ye Qiu.
"Then let’s strike together and see who gets him first. But be careful, don’t accidentally kill him."
"Alright, then let’s see whose speed is quicker."
After some discussion, the two elders reached a decision to compete in disabling Ye Qiu’s power first.
"Do they really take me for fish on a cutting board?" Ye Qiu thought calmly to himself.
