Chapter 2216: Chapter 2217: Despicable Means! (Second Update)
"Tai Yi’s Saint Heir is enraged!"
As Tai Yi’s aura surged once more, a gasp erupted from the crowd in front of the battle arena.
Everyone’s eyes were fixated on the furious Tai Yi. This time, Tai Yi’s aura was far more overpowering than before. Being a Supreme Saint, Tai Yi’s current aura surpassed any other Supreme Saint, yet it was not at the Celestial Realm.
It’s similar to how in alchemy there are low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade levels, but there’s also a level beyond that, which is the perfect grade.
At this moment, Tai Yi’s Saint Heir didn’t take a half-step into the Celestial Realm but instead reached a perfect level of strength among Supreme Saints.
This is the main reason why he is more formidable than other Supreme Saints, yet calling him half-Celestial would be a bit of an overstatement.
As Tai Yi’s aura surged wildly, his attacks became ferocious.
However, Ye Qiu remained unfazed, still keeping a slow-paced defense.
"I will not be defeated!"
"I will surely defeat you."
"I am the strongest genius."
"I am the number one, the man destined to reach the pinnacle of martial arts."
Tai Yi’s frenzied attacks, his eyes growing somewhat blood-red.
The fact that his previous series of attacks achieved nothing left Tai Yi feeling that his recent progress was all a joke.
The strength he prided himself on couldn’t harm Ye Qiu, leaving Tai Yi internally wounded.
Pride drove him mad, arrogance drove him mad, self-conceit drove him mad.
He simply couldn’t accept the reality that the current gap between him and Ye Qiu was so significant.
Therefore, he wanted to defeat Ye Qiu as soon as possible, to tell himself in his heart, you are strong, no one is your match.
The mindset Tai Yi had developed over time had become pathological.
Perhaps it was precisely because of his invincible aura that from any aspect, he believed he could only win, not lose.
Seeing Tai Yi’s Saint Heir in such a state, Ye Qiu knew Tai Yi was no longer fit to be his opponent.
A manic opponent is never as fearsome as a calm one.
Once composure and calmness are lost, all that awaits is defeat.
Originally, Ye Qiu held some expectations for Tai Yi, at least from their previous encounters; Tai Yi’s strength wasn’t weak.
But now, confronting him again, Tai Yi’s strength somewhat disappointed Ye Qiu.
Perhaps in Tai Yi’s eyes, his strength had already surpassed the vast majority of Supreme Saints, standing at the pinnacle of that level.
But he did not know that Ye Qiu stood even higher, already glimpsing the path of the Celestial Realm.
Now that his opponent had gone mad, Ye Qiu decided it was time to end this confrontation.
Tai Yi’s Saint Heir began using various Cultivation Techniques from Tai Yi Divine Sect, yet in front of Ye Qiu, these attacks were negligible.
He had previously slain more than one Celestial-level powerhouse, and facing Tai Yi’s moves, even his trump cards, seemed lackluster now.
It was the life-and-death struggles with Celestial-level powerhouses that broadened Ye Qiu’s horizons significantly. If it weren’t for being in the Ancient City of the Star River, where using the body of a Royal Demon was inadvisable, killing Tai Yi’s Saint Heir would be all too simple.
Nonetheless, even using his Xuan Huang physique posed little difficulty for Ye Qiu.
"Back then, you allied with two others against me. Now, by killing you, I will finally resolve the karma between us," Ye Qiu’s voice was mild as he spoke.
Is Ye Qiu about to become an assassin?
His voice wasn’t muffled by the light barrier and reached beyond the battle stage.
Hearing these words, the crowd was instantly uproarious. As formidable as Tai Yi’s Saint Heir was, was Ye Qiu really going to slay him now?
What a joke, that was Tai Yi’s Saint Heir after all.
The number one of the ancestral land.
The most brilliant talent of the younger generation!
Until someone reminded them that they were fighting on a life-and-death battle stage, the crowd realized Ye Qiu was serious.
The life-and-death arena does allow killing.
The Beast God, Luo Fu, Jin Shanshun, Turquoise Pool, and others were all taken aback by Ye Qiu’s words.
Is Ye Qiu really going to kill Tai Yi’s Saint Heir?
If Ye Qiu dispatches Tai Yi, he would have killed two Saint Heirs of Tai Yi Divine Sect. It’s imaginable how furious Tai Yi Divine Sect would be.
Does he not wish to return to the ancestral land?
Immediately, others remembered, Ye Qiu’s roots aren’t in the ancestral land, so perhaps he doesn’t care. Yet, even if Ye Qiu doesn’t care, he must consider the repercussions of killing Tai Yi. Tai Yi Divine Sect would never let it go.
Of course, some understand Ye Qiu; after all, he has already offended many major sects on the ancestral land. What harm is there in offending them a bit more now?
What is fundamentally different after all?
"Kill me?" Tai Yi’s Saint Heir’s eyes flashed, then he laughed loudly. "You think you can kill me? It’s you who should be ready to die."
Tai Yi’s Saint Heir charged fiercely, but this time, Ye Qiu also changed his moves abruptly, transforming from slow to extremely fast, turning defense into active offense.
Swish.
On the battle stage, the figures of the two collided like meteors.
Bang bang.
After the initial clash, they continued to collide successively.
Tai Yi’s Saint Heir now went all out, even employing the Celestial Law Form, while Ye Qiu was merely relying on his Xuan Huang physique repeatedly clashing with him.
"You want to kill me? Try getting close first," Tai Yi sneered, with the Celestial Law Form as a shield before him. What makes you think you can kill me?
Tai Yi’s Saint Heir considered this a joke.
However, his laughter soon stopped when cracks began appearing in the Celestial Law Form under the repeated impact of Ye Qiu’s body.
Boom!
Ye Qiu pushed his strength to the extreme, shattering the Celestial Law Form with his Xuan Huang body.
Seeing this, the craziness in Tai Yi’s eye ceased suddenly, becoming much more tranquil.
"I, Tai Yi, will never be defeated by you. If you want to kill me, you go die first."
Suddenly, Tai Yi’s Saint Heir swung his arm, and instantly a figure appeared on the battle stage.
It was the guise of an elder, exuding a Celestial-level aura.
"Not good!"
At this moment, the Beast God, Luo Fu, Jin Shanshun, Turquoise Pool, and others all had a change in complexion, not expecting Tai Yi’s Saint Heir to be this despicable, using external force and resorting to life-saving means during the duel.
"Harm my disciple, you deserve death!"
This elder’s figure was illusory but shimmered with golden light. Upon appearance, he immediately focused on Ye Qiu and struck a palm at him.
Ye Qiu, aren’t you formidable?
No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the Celestial Realm?
This was Tai Yi’s real thought at the moment.
His attack was so sudden that even if the order keepers noticed, it would be too late. Once Ye Qiu was dead, all matters would be settled.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun shouted.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the Celestial-level elder’s silhouette brought down a slap.
In the presence of this figure, Ye Qiu appeared so small, instantly overwhelmed!
The Beast God, Turquoise Pool, Jin Shanshun, and others all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
