Kill!

"Brother Snake..."

Ye Qiu cried out in his heart. If this continued, he would die for sure—no chance of victory at all.

He would be worn down to death!

The Great Serpent said, "I'm weak."

"Not much difference, just a little more!" Ye Qiu thought to himself, "If I die, you'll have nowhere to nurture yourself."

He figured his body must have something unique about it, which was why Brother Snake had chosen him for nurturing.

Otherwise, the serpent could have picked the most formidable body in this world.

Wouldn't that provide far more nourishment than he could?

The Great Serpent fell silent. Ye Qiu said gravely, "Just a tiny bit!"

He could shake the serpent. He believed that if he grew just a little stronger, he would definitely break through it!

"Looking for death!" At this moment, Ye Yi's expression had turned uglier than ever before.

He gripped the sword in his hand, and on that blade, streams of blue flame suddenly erupted.

A terrifying aura was detected by Ye Qiu, and his face grew unprecedentedly solemn.

"Slash!" As the blue flame reached its peak, Ye Yi's sword suddenly swung out.

Instantly, a massive, sharp, terrifying blue flame sword light shot straight at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu couldn't withstand it!

But he had to!

No choice!

His gaze hardened, and he charged out with a roar.

Straight toward the blue sword light!

At the same time, he drew the black broadsword, but the moment it touched the blue sword light, with a bang, it exploded on the spot!

The sword light slashed directly onto his body!

But—

Boom—

A surging, immense force suddenly poured into his limbs and bones, spreading through them.

Instantly, his qi and blood surged, and even his blood began to boil in that very moment.

His entire body burned with searing heat.

Brother Snake had made his move!

Dragon Qi Baptism!

Under the influence of this terrifying force, Ye Qiu withstood the sword strike head-on and spat blood again.

But his injuries seemed less severe than before!

And the sword light shattered!

Ye Qiu burst forward, his speed now a full double what it had been!

Ye Yi had already retreated.

He fell back at the first moment, but he hadn't expected Ye Qiu to endure the blow and even increase his speed so drastically.

Boom—

The air blast exploded, and Ye Qiu was upon him again, arriving in the instant Ye Yi's full-powered sword strike left his mana depleted.

His fist rose.

His strength surpassed its limits.

One Punch Breaks All Laws!

Pfft—

Ye Yi's body blasted backward. As he flew, the bitter sweetness in his throat finally could no longer be held back.

From his mouth, his nose, even his ears, it gushed out like it cost nothing.

He was in unbearable agony, feeling as if his five viscera and six bowels had been torn apart!

His injuries were severe!

Then, his body went limp, and he dropped to one knee.

Ye Qiu, too, trembled violently.

Though he had received a breath from Brother Snake, it was far, far less than the first time.

And even with it, he couldn't be instantly elevated in that split second.

His injuries had piled on top of old wounds.

His entire body was already stained red with blood, even his hair was the same, his eyes dyed crimson by it.

His vision blurred!

But at this moment, he steadied himself, gritted his teeth, fixed his gaze on Ye Yi, and charged forward madly once more.

This was also experience—strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of your enemy's weakness. Even if I die today, you're going down with me!

Ye Yi ground his teeth. After a moment of agonizing struggle, he turned without a word and fled!

Ye Qiu, however, paid no heed, dragging his blood-soaked body and giving chase at full speed.

His eyes were stained even redder with blood, seeping with his boundless Killing Intent.

His speed, under these circumstances, was even faster, growing quicker and quicker...

Ahead, as Ye Yi rushed forward, he spat out more blood, his pace gradually slowing.

After all, that last punch had truly wounded him severely.

In fact, ever since his first misjudgment, when Ye Qiu's fist slammed into his chest, he had already been injured.

After that, he had lost the ability to kill Ye Qiu outright, and instead, Ye Qiu traded wounds for wounds, injuring him even more gravely, until now he was practically half-crippled.

He could barely muster his spiritual power.

Naturally, he couldn't fly anymore.

In truth, at his Half-step Gathering Law stage, he could only glide.

Not truly fly.

Now, his wings were broken!

But sensing the Killing Intent closing in from behind, a fierce and crazed light shot from his eyes.

Then, a unique aura surged from his body, boosting his speed once more.

A secret technique!

But the backlash was immense!

Especially in his current state.

This backlash would bring him countless future troubles.

Even if he managed to escape this time, his fate would be miserable!

This filled him with an unspeakable... frustration!

He had never imagined that merely ambushing Ye Qiu would reduce him to such a pathetic state.

Boom—

And under this fury, he once again felt the Killing Intent madly closing in behind him.

Ye Qiu's speed was still increasing!

That bastard was getting faster and faster!

Ye Qiu should be gravely wounded too, right?

Even worse than himself!

How could this be...

And besides, he had swallowed several healing pills.

He didn't understand!

In truth, even Ye Qiu himself was somewhat puzzled. Although he still had a breath of Brother Snake's energy inside him, being refined further, rapidly increasing his strength at this moment.

Yet he felt that his injuries seemed to be fading as well.

The Great Serpent said calmly, "Body Cultivators naturally have far greater physical vitality than ordinary people, with terrifying self-healing abilities. And you, compared to ordinary Body Cultivators, are even more formidable, so your recovery speed is naturally faster!"
