CHAPTER 1050: 1050 EXPOSED! (6TH UPDATE)

The dragon form dissipated, and a corpse fell from the sky.

With a thud, it smashed onto the ground, and from a distance, it was already a bloody mess.

This was the once overbearing Ancestor of the Stone Clan, now reduced to a lifeless corpse.

Logically, even after Ye Qiu’s dark transformation, he shouldn’t have had the power to kill the Stone Clan’s Ancestor. After all, at most, Ye Qiu in his darkened state had the early-stage power of the Human King Realm, while the Stone Clan’s Ancestor had long surpassed the initial level of the Human King Realm.

There was still quite a gap between the two.

But Ye Qiu managed to take down the Stone Clan’s Ancestor, simply because the Illusion Eye trapped him in a mirage, making him defenseless, resulting in him being swallowed by the dragon.

The Clan Leader of the Stone Clan, Shi Lie, was heartbroken beyond measure at this moment. The fall of the Stone Ancestor was a catastrophic event, as it meant the Stone Clan was facing a major upheaval.

With the loss of a top master, the Stone Clan’s status among the three ancient clans was bound to be challenged.

Shi Lie hated Ye Qiu to death; if it weren’t for Ye Qiu, how could the Stone Clan have lost such a great giant?

"Kill him, we must kill him!" Shi Lie’s eyes were bloodshot, determined to exact revenge at any cost for the Stone Clan.

The Stone Clan’s Enforcement Team and the Elder Council, who were still besieging Boss Yun and Wu Yang, all stopped, gathered around Shi Lie, faces full of grief.

Every clansman of the Stone Clan knew that the future of the Stone Clan would no longer be peaceful.

"They’re all remnants of this forbidden clan, let’s go together and kill him." An elder of the Stone Clan raised his blade to kill Ye Qiu, followed by several other elders taking action.

"Back then, your Stone Clan also had a share in the extermination of my Dugu Clan. Blood must be repaid with blood."

With the Stone Clan’s Ancestor gone, facing these mythical Martial Artists posed no threat to Ye Qiu. He raised his sword and launched into battle.

Clang clang clang...

Various swords and shadows assaulted Ye Qiu; he was one against a hundred men with the black flame power from his dantian constantly fueling him, making him invincible.

Kill!

Both the Stone Clan and Ye Qiu were filled with killing intent, both sides aiming their deadly strikes at each other’s vital parts.

At this moment, Ye Qiu, in his power-enhanced dark form, was unstoppable even by a pseudo-Human King, someone ordinary Martial Artists couldn’t withstand.

A Martial Artist from the Human King Realm could be deemed as a pillar among the three ancient clans, a rare figure rising from countless mythical levels to stand out as a clan’s backbone.

Ye Qiu now was half a great power, and any mythical level opponent found it hard to withstand a single strike from him, all shattering like glass; those touched by Ye Qiu were either severely injured or dead.

A large number of Stone Clan Martial Artists were knocked away by Ye Qiu; in just moments, hundreds fell, and eventually, all Stone Clan warriors came to surround Ye Qiu.

Yet Ye Qiu, encircled, like a lone wolf, relied on the Kusanagi Sword, continuously fighting and killing.

The onlookers at a distance remained silent, who could have expected such a turn on the battlefield. Ye Qiu should have been quickly subdued by the three ancient clans; instead, he slew the Stone Clan’s Ancestor, and now, with every sword strike, he continued to annihilate Stone Clan warriors, not stopping for a moment, seemingly with endless strength.

Is this still a human?

Among those ranked below the three ancient clans, young Martial Artists from numerous ancient clans etched a deep silhouette in their minds.

This figure showed no fatigue, wielding the longsword repeatedly, as if to kill everyone in sight, instilling a chilling intent within.

At this moment, Ye Qiu could no longer be seen as the younger generation, as his presence defied logic; even senior Martial Artists, before him, were merely toys he could manipulate.

Shi Lie suddenly broke free from Mu Tianxing’s arm and shouted, "All members of the Stone Clan, retreat!"

Now, Stone Clan members have gone blood-mad, sacrificing themselves one after another to kill Ye Qiu, determined to wear him down to death.

Shi Lie couldn’t allow Stone Clan warriors to have more casualties, for it was because of one Ye Qiu that they lost dozens of mythicals—such a loss was tremendous, so much that even killing Ye Qiu in the end wouldn’t restore the Stone Clan.

Despite hating Ye Qiu, Shi Lie retained a bit of reason, especially upon seeing so many Stone Clan people killed by Ye Qiu, he didn’t want the slaughter to continue upon the Stone Clan members, so he immediately called the Stone Clan warriors back.

"Clan Leader, we’ll fight him to the death!"

Some were unwilling to give up, wanting to continue forward.

Shi Lie slapped them directly, "Keep your lives for me, this kid will die, but not at the cost of my Stone Clan members’ lives."

"Clan Leader..." Many Stone Clan warriors lowered their heads.

In front of them, Ye Qiu had become an unrivaled demon.

Shi Lie suddenly looked towards Mu Tianxing and Ji Changtian, "My Stone Clan has already paid a huge price, it’s your clans’ turn now."

The death of the Stone Clan’s Ancestor left Mu Tianxing and Ji Changtian, after their shock, somewhat pleased, as it meant the Stone Clan would decline.

One would think the Stone Clan would go to any lengths to kill Ye Qiu, but unexpectedly, Shi Lie sobered up at the end, not persisting in a deadly fight against Ye Qiu, and instead letting them take action.

"Clan Leader Shi, Ye Qiu is doomed. Our two clans will definitely join forces and kill him. The Stone Clan will not die in vain," Ji Changtian said.

Then, Ji Changtian and Mu Tianxing prepared to take action.

At this moment, the Ancestor Mu of the Mu Clan freed himself from the dragon and raised his hand, signaling to Ji Changtian and Mu Tianxing not to move, that Ye Qiu would be dealt with by him.

"Ancestor, be careful," Mu Tianxing warned. The previous death of the Stone Clan was odd, suddenly stopping and being killed by Ye Qiu in one punch; he didn’t want his Mu Clan’s Ancestor to follow the same fate, or else the Mu Clan, like the Stone Clan, would suffer a great loss after this battle, even falling from the highest position among the three ancient clans.

"Clan Leader Mu, since your noble ancestor wants to act, I believe Ye Qiu is sure to be vanquished; let’s just watch for now," Ji Changtian said.

Everyone has their own private motives; Ji Changtian was more than happy to have someone else take action for him to deal with Ye Qiu. Now that the Ancestor Mu of the Mu Clan wanted to take on Ye Qiu by himself, Ji Changtian was more than willing, regardless of the outcome, the Ji Clan wouldn’t lose anything.

Mu Tianxing wanted to persuade further, but the elder of the Mu Clan kept signaling for him to let him take the shot alone, so Mu Tianxing could only be frustrated, praying that the ancestor would be alright.

Ancestor Mu of the Mu Clan stared at Ye Qiu, but his eyes didn’t look into Ye Qiu’s eyes, always avoiding them instantly.

"That old stone must have fallen to your illusion to be taken down by you, right?"

Ancestor Mu of the Mu Clan revealed Ye Qiu’s secret for killing the Stone Clan’s Ancestor.

"How did you know?"

"Because I’ve witnessed it before. You wish to use the same trick against me? Unfortunately, your illusion will be ineffective on me!"

Ye Qiu’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he saw Ancestor Mu of the Mu Clan attacking with his eyes closed.
