The scene fell into a strange awkwardness. Over twenty people surrounded and attacked a single, blood-soaked, heavily wounded youth, yet they dared not move!
As the youth, holding his saber, advanced step by step, the crowd automatically retreated.
One person forced back a group!
He was almost out of the encirclement when a voice suddenly rang out from the mountaintop: "There is only one chance!"
Ye Ru!
As her voice fell, the people present seemed to snap back to reality. Their courage returned, and their killing intent was fully revealed.
The encirclement reformed.
Ye Qiu tilted his head slightly, his peripheral vision seeming to glance towards the mountaintop, meeting the gaze of the aloof woman in the green dress.
He's really grown up. Grown up... and his thoughts have become complicated.
Grown up, and it's all about self-interest now!
Heh--
He gripped the saber in his hand. Blood flowed from beneath his sleeves, down his wrist, his fingers, and onto the blade.
The saber seemed to flash.
A faint sharpness emerged.
"Eh?" The Great Serpent suddenly let out a surprised sound. That saber... was it about to be sharpened?
Boom--
Amidst its surprise, the battle reignited. Ye Qiu used his movement technique to evade vital strikes, slashing at anyone he encountered.
As he swung, he felt the saber in his hand become lighter at that moment.
No.
It wasn't becoming lighter.
It seemed to be becoming more agile.
The saber in his hand suddenly became much more nimble, as if it had completely merged with him.
Moreover, the saber gained a sharp edge. With one slash, a Law Gathering disciple's head exploded.
Not smashed, but rather split open!
This made them even more terrified. How could this guy, already so injured, seem to be getting stronger?
This was simply illogical.
This was a complete anomaly!
It's really starting to show some character, the Great Serpent thought to itself, not speaking aloud.
After all, this was highly abnormal.
While Ye Qiu's bloodline was extraordinary, it hadn't awakened yet.
There wasn't even a sign of awakening!
It shouldn't be happening now!
Yet, the saber, stained with his blood – blood mixed with his rage and killing intent – was showing signs of being sharpened...
This is beyond my imagination.
Ye Qiu's bloodline surpassed that of the tribulation-goers of the previous generation; it was even more terrifying. The Great Serpent had already guessed this.
But now, it seemed to be far more terrifying than it had guessed...
His unawakened blood had already displayed many extraordinary qualities.
However, Ye Qiu's current state was truly dangerous.
Although the saber had become more fearsome, boosting his combat power, his Cultivation was ultimately limited.
There were too many opponents.
Furthermore, several Law Gathering cultivators directly took to the air. Some drew their swords, others wielded sabers, and some transformed their punches and kicks into magical power palm strikes, constantly pressing down on Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu could dodge, but their actions restricted his movement, giving the surrounding fighters more opportunities.
And those fighters seized these chances. The moment Ye Qiu dodged, a group of them attacked in unison.
Ye Qiu's injuries worsened.
If this continued, even if he could kill most of them in the end, Ye Qiu would surely be killed in the process!
The Great Serpent sighed. Then, a blood-red light flashed across its body. With just that one flash, it became even weaker.
The Great Serpent was furious. Those scoundrels had stripped its dragon skin; otherwise, why would it be in such a state?
With a single glance, those petty thieves would have been reduced to dust.
Now, it had to grit its teeth just to squeeze out a tiny, almost imperceptible trace of its origin.
Squeezing out too much could lead to its own demise.
But there was still a tiny bit of space.
However, just as he was about to offer help, a loud shout suddenly echoed from outside: "Brother Ye, I'm here!"
Following the shout, a tall figure, like a tornado, arrived with a terrifying aura.
He was tall, at least two meters, powerfully built, with curly hair flying in the wind.
Extremely dashing!
"Holy crap!" Upon arrival, Wu Xiaokai threw a punch, and instantly, a peak Tongxuan disciple's head exploded!
So fierce!
Boom--
Then, he charged forward, his body colliding with a Law Gathering disciple.
Wu Xiaokai was sent flying backward, but the Law Gathering disciple also trembled, feeling intense pain.
This guy is tough!
"Brother Ye, don't worry, Sister-in-law Lu Li will be here soon!" Wu Xiaokai rubbed his head and shouted.
Instantly, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Lu Li!
Whoosh--
They quickly scattered.
Wu Xiaokai flashed to Ye Qiu's side: "Brother Ye, how are you?"
Ye Qiu took a breath and said, "I almost died."
Really, just barely!
At this moment, the people around them looked terrified, and some even turned and fled.
In the pavilion on the mountain peak, Ye Ru's face also turned grim.
Lu Li is coming?
Ye Qiu swept his gaze around but didn't see Lu Li.
He looked at Wu Xiaokai, who winked at him.
Ye Qiu understood!
"Get lost quickly, my sister-in-law will be here soon and will chop all of you up. My sister-in-law is fierce like a tiger!"
Wu Xiaokai blustered, and those people indeed retreated, after all, Lu Li was truly terrifying!
On the mountain peak pavilion, Ye Ru, however, looked calm, unsurprised by this.
She looked down, and at this moment, Wu Xiaokai shouted, "Three seconds, my sister-in-law will definitely show up!"
Ye Ru said, "Lu Li is in seclusion, kill him for me!"
