Chapter 1455: 1455 Consecutive Victories!

Thud thud.

Both figures were blasted into the mountains by each other. After a while, Ye Qiu emerged from within.

Ye Qiu was covered in dust at this moment, with numerous wounds on his body. He grabbed a handful of beast pills to quickly replenish his strength. The black flame pill in his Dantian was spinning wildly, refining the beast pills at the fastest speed.

The outsider blasted into another mountain by Ye Qiu appeared after a while. He was in an even worse state than Ye Qiu, with many wounds on his face. His eyes were fixed on Ye Qiu, unwilling to accept the fact that he had lowered his realm and was still no match for Ye Qiu.

With his current strength, he could still fight, but he knew there was no point in continuing. He could not harm Ye Qiu with his Emperor Realm, and instead got injured by him. So, he didn’t attack again. Unless he used the forces of the Void Shattering Realm, continuing the fight would only bring him more injuries.

Ye Qiu stood against the wind. Despite the exhaustion from repeated fierce battles, his eyes were still as bright as the sun, filled with steadfastness.

“Next one!”

Ye Qiu’s words resounded throughout the area, clearly directed at the outsiders. There were still five of them left, and he didn’t mind any of their challenges.

“Let me meet you.”

Ye Qiu’s strength, though unexpectedly powerful, didn’t frighten the outsiders. Both the Bahuang Sword and the Taihuang Bell, two great treasures, were with Ye Qiu. How could they easily give up?

In an instant, the battle resumed.

Those on Ye Qiu’s side couldn’t help but worry for him. After all, Ye Qiu was only in the Emperor Realm. Even with the beast pills for replenishment, prolonged battles were still damaging to him.

If he couldn’t hold on, he would likely be killed by the opponent.

These outsiders were not kind-hearted. Ye Qiu’s life and death didn’t concern them at all.

Instead, because of the series of battles, their desire to kill Ye Qiu grew even stronger.

Cain’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly stepped forward. Jin Shanshun grabbed him, “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to help the Young Lord,” Cain said directly.

“Do you think we don’t want to fight for the Young Lord? Once you intervene, everything the Young Lord has done will be in vain,” Jin Shanshun said emotionally. Although he wished to relieve some of Ye Qiu’s pressure, he couldn’t.

Jin Shanshun vaguely guessed that the reason Ye Qiu made some kind of wager with the others was to consider their safety.

Because eight entire Void Shattering Realm experts could easily flatten Wangyue Peak.

Even with the Illusion Array existing, would these eight step into it casually?

Absolutely impossible. With the previous incident of many Protectors disappearing, they would only be more cautious.

If Cain intervened, it would be equivalent to external help for Ye Qiu, disrupting the duel. Then, the outsiders could also receive aid from others, making the fight impossible to continue.

“The Young Lord must have his own reasons for persisting. As long as he doesn’t speak, those of us under him must stay put,” Jin Shanshun’s words were not only meant for Cain, but for everyone else.

“If I were in the Void Shattering Realm, I would relieve a lot of pressure from the Young Lord,” Cain’s pale face showed remorse. He hated that he was too weak. Even though he had just broken through to the Emperor Realm, he remained unsatisfied, as in front of the outsiders, the Emperor Realm could still be easily destroyed.

Besides Cain, even Qin Feng, Jin Shanshun, and the Purple-Gold Mouse wished they could lend Ye Qiu a hand.

Each time they faced challenges, it was their Young Lord Ye Qiu standing in front, protecting them. The feeling of being protected was good, but they must not forget that their true role was to protect Ye Qiu, not the other way around.

If this continued, Jin Shanshun and others would start feeling like they were burdens to Ye Qiu.

The earlier tempering was not harsh enough. They needed to be stricter with themselves.

Everyone was silently calculating that if they could survive this catastrophe, they would train even harder to never become a burden to Ye Qiu.

After defeating the fourth outsider, Ye Qiu had fewer than three hundred beast pills left.

Defeating the fifth outsider consumed another two hundred pills.

After defeating the sixth outsider, all of the beast pills were exhausted. Ye Qiu had to use his limited supply of top-grade Crystal Stones to replenish his strength.

During the battle against the seventh outsider, the top-grade Crystal Stones were already scarce. Given the terrifying consumption of Ye Qiu’s Emperor Realm power, by the halfway point, even the top-grade Crystal Stones were completely depleted.

Danger!

Ye Qiu’s strength could no longer be replenished. With only thirty percent of his power left, could he still defeat the opponent in front of him?

Even if he succeeded, there was still one last opponent.

Ye Qiu licked his dry lips and took a deep breath. From now on, every move had to be carefully calculated for energy.

In contrast, the outsiders fell into silence. They had been continuously defeated by Ye Qiu’s Emperor Realm power. Each of them had an ugly expression.

They were all powerful figures from the ancestral land, and losing at a lowered realm to a native from a declining planet where martial arts had deteriorated would make them a lifelong joke in the ancestral land.

Fortunately, when the seventh outsider stepped forward, Ye Qiu’s energy finally started to wane. Everyone could see he was out of pills to replenish his strength.

“Young Lord…”

Jin Shanshun and others softly called out to Ye Qiu in worry. Ye Qiu was about to reach the end of his strength. Anyone could see that, after nearly half an hour of uninterrupted fighting without rest, even the strongest body would tire from the sustained tension.

“It seems I won’t need to step in this time. He’s finally going to lose,” of the eight Void Shattering Realm outsiders, only Grandma Bai had not yet fought, so seeing the current situation, she sighed.

“If you were the first to step in, would you have defeated him?” The Turquoise Pool Saintess suddenly asked. Grandma Bai was about to say why not, but swallowed her words.

Her strength was not weak, but only on par with Nangong Ao. Since even Nangong Ao was defeated, how could she guarantee she would not be?

“It seems it was fate that none before you defeated him. Judging by fate, the Bahuang Sword is destined to be mine,” the seventh outsider was a seemingly cultured man but now exposed his greed, as if the ultimate treasure was about to belong to him.

“Then why don’t I just give you the Bahuang Sword?” Ye Qiu suddenly said.

“Even if you don’t give it to me, it will still become mine. This isn’t giving, it’s taking back what’s rightfully mine.” The man strode forward, as Ye Qiu leaned on the Bahuang Sword to keep his body upright. He wouldn’t easily dodge now, as every move would consume energy.

The man walked faster, having seen Ye Qiu’s exhaustion, and no longer felt threatened. As he reached Ye Qiu, he extended his hand and shouted, “Sword, come!”

An invisible force swept towards the Bahuang Sword in Ye Qiu’s hand, about to snatch it away.

Ye Qiu plunged his arm into the ground, trying to stabilize the Bahuang Sword.

The man sneered, “It’s useless.” Then, he applied more force, pulling. The Bahuang Sword sprang from the soil and flew towards the man.

“Haha…The Bahuang Sword is mine.” The man was triumphant.

Seeing this, the other outsiders’ faces changed, as the Bahuang Sword was about to change hands.

Little did they know, a ghostly smile suddenly appeared on Ye Qiu’s previously expressionless face.

Just as the Bahuang Sword was about to land in the man’s hands, Ye Qiu’s eyes shot out two beams of light.

The beams were as fast as lightning, appearing and disappearing in an instant.

The man was ecstatic as the Bahuang Sword was within reach when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his head, momentarily dazed—an attack on his spirit.

“You…”

The man looked at Ye Qiu, whose smiling face moved slightly, uttering words he couldn’t hear.

Then the man felt the world before him shift as if he had entered another realm.

Ye Qiu’s earlier words were ‘Eye of the Mirage Realm.’

In the man’s moment of confusion, Ye Qiu gently flicked his fingers in the air, then drew a circle and fiercely pointed.

The Bahuang Sword spun rapidly, flashing past with incredible speed.

Swoosh…
