Chapter 1472: Chapter 1472: Testing! Second Update

Two gazes, like two shackles, pinned Ye Qiu to the chair, unable to move.

Rather than just stares, it was more like the aura of the blood race—once it moved, it could startle mountains and rivers, stirring up winds and clouds in an instant.

This kind of power could only be emitted by a peerless expert.

If it weren’t for the certainty that the other party was a progenitor of the vampire clan, Ye Qiu would have almost suspected that he was facing some powerful outsider.

“Kid, you took my grandson’s fiancée; how do you plan to settle this matter?”

The vampire stared at Ye Qiu, pressing down with his aura. What surprised Ye Qiu was that this aura was almost comparable to the Void Breaking Realm.

However… this was ultimately not the Void Breaking Realm. Even if it was, once Ye Qiu brought out his strongest trump card, he could handle it with ease.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s unchanged and confident demeanor, a smile even on his face, the blood ancestor snorted. What an arrogant Easterner, he thought, to be able to smile under such oppression—was it ignorance or confidence in his own strength?

“Blood Ancestor, why such anger? Harmony should be prized above all else. Young Master Ye is here to help deal with that false god, and if you start a fight with him, it puts me in a difficult position,” Satan interjected. He had invited the two of them, hoping to join forces against the False God, but instead, they ended up fighting each other.

The blood ancestor glanced at Satan and said, “Mr. Satan, best not to interfere in this matter. Against that false god, numbers may not be useful; only those with enough strength are fit to join me. Before dealing with that false god, I think it’s fine to test this person’s strength first.”

“Besides, my grandson still has some grudges with this person. As the progenitor, I can’t turn a blind eye, can I?”

The blood ancestor’s words left Satan with a difficult expression.

He turned to Ye Qiu and smiled, “Young Master Ye, how about bowing your head and admitting to Blood Ancestor, and returning his grandson’s fiancée? Wouldn’t that settle it and avoid unnecessary conflict?”

Ye Qiu: “Heh heh.”

Ugh…

Ye Qiu’s cold laugh stung Satan, who awkwardly laughed to smooth things over.

“Mr. Satan, you see, this child is evidently unwilling. Let’s let the two of us solve this matter. Rest assured, no matter what, for your sake, I won’t kill him,” Blood Ancestor said flatly.

Throughout, Ye Qiu hadn’t uttered a word, only watching the scene with a cold sneer.

“What a poor performance!”

Ye Qiu had taken in the expressions of Satan and Blood Ancestor, seeing through their act and realizing they aimed to see his skills on display.

Particularly in Blood Ancestor’s words, it was clear he didn’t consider Ye Qiu someone he could team up with, fundamentally underestimating him.

Ye Qiu suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Satan, he’s right. It’s best we solve this between the two of us.”

With that, Ye Qiu turned sharply to Blood Ancestor, saying, “You want justice for your grandson, don’t you?”

Armand’s face flushed; it felt like he couldn’t defeat the person and had to call a guardian to intervene.

He didn’t actually want things to go this way, but he hadn’t expected the ancestor to awaken and hear about this incident from others.

Now that the ancestor wanted to solve it for him, how could he refuse?

“Ancestor, if I am to defeat this person, I will strive to improve my strength and do it myself,” Armand said.

Blood Ancestor waved a huge hand, ignoring Armand’s words, “This matter, the ancestor will decide for you.”

Swish.

Blood Ancestor’s gaze locked onto Ye Qiu, coldly saying, “Kid, I’ll ask you again: how do you intend to settle the matter of taking my grandson’s fiancée?”

“There’s nothing to settle. Shangguan Mingyue was always my woman; it’s fortunate enough I’m not holding him accountable. As for you, old man, if you want to stand up for your grandson, fine, but I’m afraid I might accidentally kill you, and what then?” Ye Qiu replied calmly. If the other disrespected him, he equally disregarded them. After all, he’d killed more than one outsider; what was there to fear from an old vampire?

“Heh, you might accidentally kill me?” Blood Ancestor sneered, “Have I slept too long? Are young men this arrogant now? Today, I’d like to see what capability you have to kill me.”

Swoosh…

Blood Ancestor abruptly stood from his seat, and the chair seemed to be pushed back by a great force. His cloak flared, and his aura burned like flames around him.

Ye Qiu slowly stood up, extending a hand as he walked forward to Blood Ancestor, “Dealing with an old, weak, sickly one like you, one hand will suffice.”

These words even made Satan show an astonished expression; he couldn’t fathom why Ye Qiu would provoke Blood Ancestor like this, which would only anger him further—what good would it do him?

Blood Ancestor indeed became furious, shifting like lightning to instantly appear behind Ye Qiu, planning to pierce Ye Qiu’s back with a hand.

Clap clap…

Blood Ancestor was fast, but Ye Qiu was equally swift. As that hand came to pierce him, Ye Qiu’s hand coiled like a snake, swiftly wrapping around it. Blood Ancestor loved close combat, and although Ye Qiu’s reaction surprised him, the close distance was advantageous to him.

“Die!”

Blood Ancestor flung an arm, tossing Ye Qiu’s body into the air, simultaneously thrusting another hand towards Ye Qiu’s chest, aiming to stab through and grab his heart.

Suddenly.

The hand Blood Ancestor intended to drive into Ye Qiu’s chest halted, leaving him astonished as he looked at his chest where a longsword was pressing against his heart, preventing any further action.

Blood Ancestor’s pupils widened, his heart filled with shock—when had this sword appeared in front of him, unnoticed by his senses?

Ye Qiu smiled at Blood Ancestor, “Do you think your hand is faster, or my sword?”

Blood Ancestor remained unmoving. Though he was confident in the strength of his body, impervious even to cannon fire, the golden sword point nearly choking him felt like Death’s noose tightening around his neck.

Ye Qiu remarked, “My sword is called the Bahuang Sword, the weapon with which the Star River Overlord Ge Tian swept the Eight Wilds. Did your grandson not tell you I possess this divine weapon?”

Blood Ancestor frowned. He had heard Armand mention that Ye Qiu might have acquired a great inheritance and had faced numerous strong opponents, remaining unharmed.

But Blood Ancestor hadn’t taken it to heart; Ye Qiu was a native, not an outsider, and how strong could he really be?

“Ha ha… Blood Ancestor, see what you’ve done, making such jokes with Young Master Ye. I told you that Young Master Ye’s strength was formidable, and that with the three of us together, we could certainly defeat that false god. Now that you’ve witnessed Young Master Ye’s strength, do you believe it?”

At that moment, Satan intervened to defuse the tension, laughing heartily.

Upon these words, Blood Ancestor retracted his hand, while Ye Qiu also shouldered the Bahuang Sword.

“Young Master Ye is truly a remarkable young talent. I, Blood Ancestor, am impressed,” Blood Ancestor suddenly changed his demeanor, now wearing a smiling face, with none of the previous aggression, instead praising Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu internally sneered, fully aware that Blood Ancestor was looking for a way to back down.
