CHAPTER 1491: CHAPTER 1491: SHOWDOWN REVERSAL! SECOND UPDATE

Unexpectedly, the two managed to hold back their immediate urge to seize the treasure. The Blood Ancestor said, "When we fought that false god earlier, I saw you, Young Master Ye, emitting a purple beam of light. What is that? It should not have come from this sword, right?"

"Oh, are you talking about this?" Ye Qiu casually slapped the Sumeru pouch again, and a super-modern weapon from Atlantis appeared in his hand.

"Can you lend it to us for a look?" the Blood Ancestor asked with a smile.

"No problem!"

Ye Qiu did not hesitate and threw it directly to the Blood Ancestor.

The Blood Ancestor took the metal lump with curiosity, having never seen such a thing before, only hearing Ye Qiu say, "This thing is not much different from modern weapons, just a lot more powerful. Just lightly trigger the switch, and it emits a strong purple light capable of killing enemies."

"It’s indeed a good weapon. Without expending one’s own strength, it can easily kill enemies. Rare, indeed," the Blood Ancestor commented, clicking his tongue.

Watching both the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump being in the hands of the two, Ye Qiu still appeared indifferent, which made the Blood Ancestor and Satan a bit puzzled. Did Ye Qiu really consider them allies and completely trust them, or was he just utterly naive?

The two were slightly confused, but the treasures in their hands were real.

"Young Master Ye, how did you make these two things appear out of thin air? It’s quite magical. Neither of us has such a means." After admiring the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump, their gazes landed on the Sumeru pouch again. However, the two pretended not to know, deliberately asking.

While coveting the Sumeru pouch, they wanted to test whether Ye Qiu was wary of them.

Ye Qiu thoughtfully touched his waist, then smiled and said, "To be honest, I have something on me that can store items. It’s not that I have any special means."

Hearing this, Satan and the Blood Ancestor felt even more eager. Such a treasure—they had never even heard of it. Moreover, having such a treasure on someone whose strength was similar to theirs—how could it not be envied?

Immediately, they suppressed their greedy thoughts and showed a curious look, saying, "Brother Ye, I wonder if we would be fortunate enough to witness the splendor of such a treasure."

They initially thought Ye Qiu would readily agree, but this time, Ye Qiu curtly replied, "No, I hope you won’t take offense."

This made the two freeze for a moment. After a pause, Satan laughed heartily, "Haha... Brother Ye, we were being too forward. You have already been generous enough. It’s indeed our fault for being excessive, and I hope you won’t blame us."

Satan kept calling Ye Qiu ’Brother,’ as if the bond had suddenly deepened, breaking any barriers and no longer addressing him as Young Master Ye. This was to subtly lower Ye Qiu’s guard.

Who was Ye Qiu? He saw through Satan’s facade clearly and wasn’t fooled in the least.

"I’m glad you two understand. How could I blame you?" Ye Qiu chuckled, then continued, "Have you both finished looking?"

Ye Qiu glanced at the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump in their hands, clearly indicating that they should return them.

Having seen the treasures in their possession, the prospect of returning them to Ye Qiu left them displeased, as if these things rightfully belonged to them.

The two exchanged a look, their stiff expressions suddenly softening with smiles, and they handed the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump back to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled and reached out to take the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump. Just as the treasures were about to land in his hands, the tips of the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump suddenly aimed at him.

Ye Qiu displayed a look of surprise, speaking in a deep tone, "What do you two mean by this?"

The Blood Ancestor sneered, "Can’t you tell? Hand over the pouch on your waist, and we might spare your life."

Ye Qiu turned to Satan and said, "You teamed up with him against me? Wanting the treasures on me?"

Satan spread his hands and said, "Sorry, Young Master Ye. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Although we teamed up temporarily against a common foe, it was a verbal alliance. Now that Shangdi is dead, the alliance naturally no longer exists."

"Haha... No wonder you both wanted to see my treasures one after another." Ye Qiu feigned a belated realization.

The Blood Ancestor’s face turned cold. He no longer bore a smile, his eyes radiating with killing intent. Earlier, he almost clashed fiercely with Ye Qiu. If not for his initial setbacks, he would have made Ye Qiu pay.

"Stop wasting time. Quickly toss over your pouch before we have to take action," the Blood Ancestor threatened.

"Do you want it?" Ye Qiu picked up the Sumeru pouch at his waist.

"That’s right," the Blood Ancestor eagerly said. He had personally seen the Bahuang Sword and metal lump appear out of nowhere when Ye Qiu tapped this pouch. The item for storing possessions must surely be this unremarkable pouch.

This pouch may contain the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump, but whether it holds other treasures too intrigued and excited both the Blood Ancestor and Satan.

"This Sumeru pouch... I won’t give it to you," Ye Qiu suddenly lifted his head and said.

"Do you think having the Bahuang Sword and the metal lump means you can kill me?" Ye Qiu suddenly laughed. The other side had already exposed themselves, so there was no need for him to play dumb anymore.

"What do you mean?"

Satan suddenly sensed there was more to Ye Qiu’s smile. His heart skipped a beat. Did Ye Qiu’s earlier amiability, allowing them to see the Bahuang Sword, have ulterior motives?

"With the Bahuang Sword in your hands, you think you can wield it?" Ye Qiu laughed. As he spoke, Satan felt a pain in his hand, and the Bahuang Sword flew out of his palm, landing behind Ye Qiu.

The Blood Ancestor’s eyes were quick, and he immediately triggered the metal lump. It must be said his reaction was swift. However, after triggering it, nothing happened.

Where was the promised purple beam?

He triggered it again, but still, nothing happened. It was as if the weapon was useless.

"You deceived us?" Even the slowest thinker would understand by now. Ye Qiu deliberately let them examine it because he had nothing to fear—it was useless.

Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I forgot to mention that the energy in this metal lump has run out. So now, it has no offensive power. If nicely put, it’s a weapon; if not, it’s just a hunk of scrap metal."

"You..." The Blood Ancestor’s pupils filled with rage.

Ye Qiu, calm and composed, said, "Did you think Ye Qiu was easily fooled?"

"I guess you didn’t really kill Shangdi, but after hearing my treasures fell from the sky, you conceived a plan to take them, right?"

Satan and the Blood Ancestor both had a slight change in expressions, surprised that their intentions were seen through by Ye Qiu so accurately.

"You figured it out long ago?" Satan asked.

"Haha... It was just a guess," Ye Qiu chuckled.

"And what if you did figure it out? You’re low on energy. Do you think you can escape from us?" the Blood Ancestor boldly stated. Being discovered was one thing, but now they held the upper hand and wouldn’t fear Ye Qiu.

"I won’t run..." Ye Qiu shook his head. "If anyone should flee, it should be you two. Do you think Ye Qiu would dare act without something to rely on?"

Satan and the Blood Ancestor were taken aback. Did Ye Qiu have a hidden ace?

He shouldn’t. His current aura wasn’t strong—an undeniable fact. Given this level of strength, how could he be their opponent? Even with the Bahuang Sword, Ye Qiu couldn’t turn the situation.

They were fairly certain about this.

Yet, Ye Qiu merely offered a faint smile, "Don’t believe me? Haha... Then take a look behind you."

The Blood Ancestor snorted coldly, "Trying to divert attention and slip away? Let me tell you, don’t daydream. I’m looking—now see how you’ll escape."

As he spoke, he turned his head. In his line of sight stood a masked figure behind him, void of any aura. If Ye Qiu hadn’t told him to turn, he wouldn’t have noticed at all.

This...

The implications were too much to bear, and the Blood Ancestor dared not continue thinking. Seeing the Blood Ancestor frozen, Satan also turned.

"Void Shattering Realm!" Satan struggled to utter these three words.

The ghostly doppelgänger emitted a sinister laugh, its Void Shattering Realm aura no longer concealed, instantly enveloping them.

Satan and the Blood Ancestor exchanged glances, feeling as if they had entered a frozen abyss, realizing their end had come. A Void Shattering Realm expert could easily overpower them.

But one question puzzled them: Why was this powerful being helping Ye Qiu?

A serene voice lingered in the air as Ye Qiu proclaimed, "No mercy!"

The ghostly doppelgänger immediately turned into a phantom.
