Chapter 1201: Chapter 1201: Destruction of the Martial Wall! (Third Update)

An elderly man who appeared frail and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him over, suddenly exuded a terrifying killing intent, akin to facing a formidable powerhouse. Jin Shanshun felt as if he was once again facing Ji Batian.

“Ye Qiu, you destroyed my Ji clan. I’ve long wanted to avenge this blood feud. Today, since you’ve come to me, I’ll take your head as an offering.”

The wall guardian elder slowly spoke, simultaneously straightening his previously hunched back.

He removed a mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.

Ye Qiu was taken aback, exclaiming, “Ji Batian!”

Even Jin Shanshun nearly jumped in shock, while Qin Feng didn’t understand why there was such fear of this guy.

“No, you’re not Ji Batian…” Ye Qiu examined closely, noticing a similarity to Ji Batian, but realizing it wasn’t him, as Ji Batian didn’t have that black mole between his eyebrows.

“Indeed, I’m not Ji Batian. Surprised by how much I resemble him, right?” the wall guardian sneered.

“You must be wondering what my connection to Ji Batian is. I might as well tell you; I am Ji Batian’s brother, a Ji clan member placed in this mortal world by him.” Speaking of this, the wall guardian’s tone held a hint of resentment, suggesting he didn’t wish to remain in the mortal world.

“However, now that he’s dead, I no longer need to stay here. I will continue the Ji clan’s bloodline, proliferating here,” the wall guardian said slowly.

“Those whom Ji Batian couldn’t kill, I, as his brother, will kill today.”

“Once I kill him, I’ll be free, no longer guarding this boring cave.”

The wall guardian revealed his true face, seemingly like Ji Batian reborn. Although Ye Qiu felt wary, he was not afraid or intimidated.

“You should feel fear now. Do you think since you killed Ji Batian, you can kill me too?” The wall guardian laughed loudly, as his aura rapidly increased, from legendary realm, instantly to mythical realm, pausing for barely a few breaths before entering the human king realm, and yet didn’t stop there, surging higher until reaching the emperor realm.

Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng didn’t know what level of power the wall guardian had reached; they just felt like two fish, completely powerless before him.

“Young master…” Qin Feng worriedly glanced at Ye Qiu, unsure of how Ye Qiu would face this crisis.

Instead, Jin Shanshun furrowed his brow, not overly concerned, as he firmly believed the young master was invincible.

Faced with the oppressive might of the wall guardian in the emperor realm, Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun were unable to move.

Ye Qiu’s hair fluttered; the opponent’s aura indeed was astounding, yet Ye Qiu’s gaze remained calm, undisturbed.

“Are you afraid?” the wall guardian loudly questioned, his voice echoing throughout the cave.

“Do you feel the gap? Are you surprised at my strength being so mighty, even greater than Ji Batian?” The wall guardian laughed heartily.

Ye Qiu smirked without sincerity, calmly saying, “You’re far behind compared to Ji Batian. You think the emperor realm is impressive? Ji Batian’s power far surpasses yours.”

What?

The wall guardian was momentarily stunned. Ji Batian’s strength being stronger than his, wouldn’t that mean reaching the void-breaking realm? How is this possible!

“Boy, stop trying to fool me. If what you say is true, you surely wouldn’t survive, let alone destroy the three ancient clans. You’re just trying to make me show a flaw, but unfortunately, I’ve seen through your scheme. I am invincible.”

The wall guardian’s voice echoed around.

Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to say much more; this guy talked way more than Ji Batian, practically a chatterbox, extremely arrogant. Yet, the fact that he was Ji Batian’s brother was surprising for Ye Qiu. Fortunately, this trip was not in vain, having discovered the last big fish of the Ji clan; otherwise, Ye Qiu would have been in trouble in the future.

Kill!

Both revealed killing intent and immediately clashed.

The wall guardian’s moves were varied, resembling the stone carvings on the surrounding stone walls, each move seamlessly transitioning to the next, never repeating, displayed with emperor realm power, nearly causing the collapse of the entire cave.

Ye Qiu used agile movement techniques to constantly evade, causing the opponent’s attacks to repeatedly miss.

A rare emperor realm opponent, Ye Qiu wasn’t planning to end the battle immediately, continuously maneuvering around the wall guardian.

The aftermath of their attacks forced Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng to quickly move aside.

Jin Shanshun was relaxed, knowing Ye Qiu was formidable. Qin Feng hadn’t witnessed Ye Qiu engage with an emperor realm opponent before, his face showing shock comparable to seeing a Saint Heir or Saint Lady.

“The young master’s strength… so strong…” Qin Feng stammered, as in his understanding, Ye Qiu was at most in the human king realm, yet now, here Ye Qiu was battling an emperor realm opponent.

Cross-realm combat, something only a Saint Heir or Saint Lady could achieve.

The battle within the martial wall was fiercely tied, hard to unfold, the wall guardian shouted to fight outside. The two of them immediately charged out of the cave, clashing hands in the expansive stone forest.

The confrontation soon alerted Qian Zhen, the Taoist from Longhu Daoist Temple, awakening from seclusion and coming directly to the stone forest behind the mountain.

Unexpectedly discovering that the ones fighting were Ye Qiu and… the wall guardian elder!

Qian Zhen intended to stop them, but knowing his strength wasn’t sufficient to intervene, he feared being killed by either of them, so instead, he stood aside, loudly urging them to stop.

“Qian Zhen Daoist, this person is from the Ji clan, the young master will surely kill him, it’s best not to interfere,” Jin Shanshun explained.

A person from the Ji clan?

Qian Zhen was momentarily stunned, thinking of Ye Qiu’s relationship with the three ancient clans, he immediately fell silent. He followed Jin Shanshun’s suggestion and stopped shouting, instead standing together with Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng, watching them fight.

After half an hour, the wall guardian was punched down from high above by Ye Qiu, directly eliminating his vitality, unable to continue living despite being in the emperor realm.

Witnessing this scene, all three stood astonished; an emperor realm power capable of killing them ten thousand times was slain by Ye Qiu.

The wall guardian died with unfulfilled wishes, but under Ye Qiu’s soul wave attack, his spirit shook, followed by Ye Qiu’s King Yan’s wrath attack, ultimately unable to withstand, defeated.

This last member of the Ji clan, Ji Batian’s brother, was ultimately not as formidable or tenacious as Ji Batian, though eventually met his end at Ye Qiu’s hands.

After slaying the wall guardian, Ye Qiu unleashed several King Yan’s wrath attacks, destroying the cave, all stone carvings inside brought to ruin. Just as Qian Zhen Daoist was about to stop him, he was held back by Jin Shanshun, who revealed that the martial wall was the scheme of the three ancient clans, intended to block the future path of martial artists.

“I see, I must apologize to Ye Daoist, it seems I misunderstood him,” Qian Zhen Daoist sighed, expressing his apologies to Ye Qiu and bowing.
