Free Web NovelChapter 2161: Chapter 2162: Ye Qiu’s Evolution
Star River Road.
Behind a huge rock, an elder sat there, his expression gloomy.
Beside him lay two corpses, the two semi-Heavenly levels elders who had entered here with him earlier. However, now they were both dead, without even a trace of soul left, completely fallen.
"Zhuang Miao Shan, I swear I won’t rest until I’ve killed you!" Huang Elder uttered with murderous intent. These were two semi-Heavenly levels, yet they died like this. As the team leader, he couldn’t absolve himself of blame. When he returns to the sect, the Sect Leader would surely hold him accountable. After all, if these two had put in a bit more effort, they might have been the next great Heavenly level.
However, it’s all irrevocable now.
Huang Elder regretted not being able to hold Zhuang Miao Shan back, otherwise the two semi-Heavenly levels wouldn’t have died.
When the Demon Wave broke out, Huang Elder quickly led everyone away. What he didn’t expect was Zhuang Miao Shan sticking around secretly, occasionally launching ambushes.
Guerrilla warfare was something Zhuang Miao Shan had mastered to perfection. Previously on the ancestral land, he’d often engaged in guerrilla tactics with the elite of Donghua Sect, Shadow Sect, and Taiyi Sacred Sect.
Only one strike, whether successful or not, he would immediately escape.
Mastering this essence, Zhuang Miao Shan ambushed the trio. Facing Zhuang Miao Shan’s sudden attack, Huang Elder managed as he himself was Heavenly realm, able to handle even attacks of the same realm, but the two semi-Heavenly elders beside him were a different story.
They were very passive against Zhuang Miao Shan’s ambush. Initially, Huang Elder could protect them, but Zhuang Miao Shan’s relentless 24-hour harassment became unbearable, sometimes just pretending a strike then fleeing.
At first, Huang Elder only chased for a short distance, but finally, driven by rage, he pursued relentlessly. However, this time, he realized he’d been fooled. Zhuang Miao Shan used puppet techniques to distract him while he went to deal with the other two.
When Huang Elder returned, he found it was too late; the two semi-Heavenly level elders were already dead.
Now Huang Elder has only one goal, which is to kill Zhuang Miao Shan.
He had almost recovered to peak state. He had tasted the power of Zhuang Miao Shan, extremely troublesome. Even as an experienced Heavenly realm, he cannot be careless.
Moreover, the Star River Road is extremely unsafe now. The Demon Wave appears every night, making him have to hide.
Indeed, confronting abyssal demons has no benefits, just consumes power. He needs to conserve his power to deal with Zhuang Miao Shan.
Huang Elder started to meditate, adjusting his state to the best, but shortly after he sat down, he sensed a sweep of spiritual power.
Whoosh.
"This time is it a blatant confrontation?" Huang Elder suddenly rose and took flight. However, seeing the owner of this spiritual power, he frowned.
He thought it was Zhuang Miao Shan coming to kill him, but it wasn’t. It was two familiar faces.
"How did you two enter the Star River Road?" Huang Elder looked at the two, quite puzzled.
Logically, these two should be retreating in the ancestral land; how silently did they sneak into the Star River Road?
"It’s Huang Elder indeed. Our sect’s Saint Heir is training on the Star River Road. We are just passing through, taking a look." One of the two said, then asked, "Why are you here, Huang Elder?"
"Haha, what a coincidence, I am too." Huang Elder laughed heartily, borrowing the other’s excuse. As for them just passing through, he naturally didn’t believe. Entering the Star River Road requires a cost; who would casually pass through here for fun?
He understood but didn’t say it, as they were two, and he was alone. If they fought, he wouldn’t have the advantage.
"Then we won’t disturb you further, Huang Elder. We are going to meet our sect’s Saint Heir." The two clasped their fists, brushing past Huang Elder.
"Farewell." Huang Elder stayed alert, not moving.
Only after the two left did he breathe a sigh of relief. His body had been tense the whole time; if they attacked him, it would be challenging, survival even unknown.
Fortunately, they didn’t attack.
"Taiyi Sacred Sect people, their appearance is too coincidental. Even if Taiyi Sacred Sect’s youngster sent information back to the ancestral land, their sect cannot have reached here so quickly!" Huang Elder still couldn’t understand. But he knew, Taiyi Sacred Sect’s coming with two Heavenly level powerhouses isn’t good for him.
They are very likely here for Ye Qiu.
Huang Elder feared the two returning, suddenly attacking him, he immediately left, seeking Zhuang Miao Shen’s trail, a guy who just stepped into Heavenly realm, killing his Hunyuan Sect people, how could he let it pass.
"I wonder if Ye Qiu is dead, struck by me, probably won’t survive. Even if Taiyi Sacred Sect’s powers come, it’s useless, just a wasted trip." Huang Elder thought of Ye Qiu being blasted into the cosmic abyss, chuckled, and flashed out of sight again.
In the following days, Huang Elder searched everywhere for Zhuang Miao Shan, but unfortunately, to no avail. Yet he suddenly realized, quite a number of powers were entering the Star River Road, just Heavenly level powerhouses, he saw no less than five, not counting those he hadn’t met.
The powers from Taiyi Sacred Sect have come, Demon God Sect’s powers have arrived too, ancestral land’s major sects seem to have powers arriving.
Then, he realized news about Ye Qiu was probably known to other sects after his Hunyuan Sect learned it, leading to their rapid entrance into the Star River Road.
"Damn, that guy actually sold the news our sect’s Saint Heir had transmitted back!" Huang Elder was furious, guessing roughly.
But now isn’t the time to pursue this, dealing with Zhuang Miao Shan is the priority.
...
Deep within the cosmic abyss.
Where Ye Qiu was, not a single abyssal demon could be seen. All abyssal demons in this area had become ghosts under his sword, killed one by one.
A large number of inner cores were sent into his stomach, continuously enhancing his strength, now reaching the Ruinous stage, not far from ascending to King abyssal demon.
The past few days, he had been in a constant state of combat, but due to the current abyssal demon’s circumstances, while killing them, he could also enhance his power, not consuming anything but instead growing stronger.
This area’s abyssal demons wiped out, Ye Qiu showed a trace of bitter smile, he was about to become a great demon, with the number of abyssal demons killed being in hundreds if not over a thousand.
However, the more it progresses, the slower his strength improves, which also led him to realize, even by endlessly devouring inner cores, he couldn’t become a King abyssal demon.
"Seems like this area doesn’t help me much anymore." Ye Qiu looked up, and felt he needed to move forward.
Stronger abyssal demons above are what he needs to kill!
"Here I come, abyssal demons!"
Ye Qiu carrying the Bahuang Sword, swiftly climbed the cliff, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
