CHAPTER 1540: CHAPTER 1540: SERIOUSLY INJURED! FOURTH UPDATE

"Have you come to court death on your own?" a man in black murmured.

"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s kill him first."

The three men in black immediately charged at the two figures running from afar, directly confronting them.

Armand was desperately fleeing, intending to break into the ocean, then use the sea surface to hide in the depths and go into slumber. Even if Ye Qiu’s spiritual power could cover all surrounding sea areas, he might not be able to find him.

However, before he could dive into the sea, he saw three figures ahead, all exuding a murderous aura coming his way.

Armand was stunned; were they Ye Qiu’s men?

This wasn’t a good sign.

Go for it!

No matter what, he couldn’t stop and wait for death; even if there were strong enemies ahead and pursuers behind, he had to try.

Armand flipped his palm, taking out two blood beads, treasures left by powerful vampires after their death, containing the essence of a vampire’s life. They could be used for cultivation or against enemies.

In this moment of crisis, he couldn’t think too much. The aura of the four people ahead was terrifying, seeming even more frightening than the Blood Ancestor.

Whoosh!

Armand shot out the blood beads, immediately causing an explosion, then used the opportunity to dive into the water.

Boom boom...

The power of these two blood beads was immense, exploding instantly and shooting out a large amount of blood beads, all sprayed onto the three men in black.

Sizzle sizzle...

The blood dripped on their bodies, corroding everything like sulfuric acid.

"The blood is poisonous!"

The three men in black changed color, not expecting that an inconspicuous emperor realm would dare to attack them and even managed to cover them in blood.

Fortunately, Shi Kun followed the three and wasn’t stained at all; otherwise, his white clothes would have been completely dyed red.

"Trying to leave? You’re dead meat!"

The blood beads shot by Armand instantly enraged the three men in black. They descended for one purpose: Ye Qiu; but being suddenly attacked by Armand, how could they let it slide?

Armand was quickly descending into the depths of the sea when suddenly he felt a force pulling him up.

Bam.

Facing three void-breaking realm Martial Artists, Armand was no match and was instantly pulled out of the water.

"You damned ant, today we’ll kill you first, then that Ye Qiu." The three men in black, all exuding killing intent, decided to kill Armand first before dealing with Ye Qiu.

What?

Armand was suddenly taken aback; these people weren’t Ye Qiu’s but were here to kill Ye Qiu?

Armand felt frustrated, like swallowing a fly. Didn’t that mean throwing those blood beads was pointless, wasting two valuable ones? They shared a common enemy, right? How did he end up angering them?

"Gentlemen, listen to me. This is a misunderstanding. Like you, I want to kill..." Armand was about to explain, hoping the three in black would stop and not kill him.

However, the three didn’t give Armand a chance to explain.

"Misunderstanding? Die, misunderstanding! Dare mess with us, only your death can quench our anger."

Each threw a punch, directly blowing Armand’s body to pieces, scattering it over the sea.

Not even leaving a soul, all life instantly extinguished.

Poor Armand, mistaking the black-clad men wanting to kill Ye Qiu for Ye Qiu’s men, otherwise, he’d have survived instead of ending up dead here.

Armand’s death was too unjust. He could have used the black-clad men’s strength against Ye Qiu but inadvertently poked a hornet’s nest, causing his own demise.

The sudden appearance of the three men in black and killing Armand happened in a flash on the sea surface.

Ye Qiu suddenly halted, sensing these three men posed a significant threat based on their actions, clearly figures at the late peak of the void-breaking realm.

Alien Martial Artists!

Feeling instinctively, Ye Qiu guessed their identity. Such powerhouses couldn’t exist on Earth, even he was only a half-step void-breaking realm.

Besides alien Martial Artists, it couldn’t be anyone else.

They didn’t come with good intentions.

The ruthless means of the three men in black made Ye Qiu’s heart wary, though them killing Armand saved him the trouble of letting that guy escape; dying at the hands of the black-clad men was deserved.

"Oh, he’s here too!"

When Ye Qiu’s gaze passed over the three in black, seeing the conspicuous man in white, his expression changed, further confirming in his heart that encountering these people wasn’t a good sign.

"Are you Ye Qiu?"

After dealing with Armand, the three men in black felt better and focused all their attention on Ye Qiu, the person they were here to deal with.

"Are you from the Taiyi Divine Sect?" Ye Qiu didn’t answer, seeking to confirm their identity instead.

"Hehe, interesting, that a native like you knows my Taiyi Divine Sect. In that case, you must have guessed why we’re here," the man in black said.

Ye Qiu’s heart tightened; indeed, they were from the Taiyi Divine Sect, surely summoned by the man in white, yet why didn’t these three powerhouses show up earlier, left Ye Qiu puzzled.

He didn’t know the three came after Shi Kun’s escape, who relayed the information back to the Taiyi Divine Sect. The experts dispatched by the Taiyi Divine Sect had just arrived on Earth.

The Taihuang Bell could obscure Earth’s aura, but through special means, contact beyond Earth is possible. With Earth’s spiritual energy resurgence, in some special places, powerhouses can descend, though it’s extremely perilous.

This time, the Taiyi Divine Sect’s three black-clad men were quite lucky, encountering no mishap during descent, otherwise, failure to descend would not be impossible.

The appearance of the Taiyi Divine Sect’s powerhouses meant they came for him, for the Taiyi Saint Heir.

Ye Qiu knew a battle was unavoidable next.

He eyed sparking, having just lost considerable force. Now facing four void-breaking realms, the pressure was immense for him.

That night, hundred-foot waves reappeared on the sea surface; fortunately, it was night, attracting little attention, or many would be scared.

On the sea surface, heated battles ensued, Ye Qiu alone against three men in black, who were not only powerful but also coordinated as if their minds were one, often heavily injuring Ye Qiu.

This battle lasted until dawn.

The sea finally calmed. Ye Qiu gazed at the fleeing man in white, Shi Kun, not chasing further. He was truly at his limit now, unable to continue fighting.

Afterward, Ye Qiu, carrying his heavily injured body, returned to where Jin Zhimo was, lifting the grand array, and then fell unconscious,

seeing Ye Qiu’s miserable state, Jin Zhimo was shocked, exclaiming and supporting Ye Qiu.

That night, many events transpired, and Moonview Peak immediately tightened its defenses.

It wasn’t until Jin Zhimo carried Ye Qiu back to Moonview Peak that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
