604 - The sound of victory (1)
How powerful was Ye Qingyu now?
His consciousness power was comparable to those of the peak Immortal Step boundary, and with the people that had consciousness power inferior to him, he could see through the majority of their techniques and moves. With this advantage, although his yuan qi cultivation was only the peak level of Heaven Ascension boundary, but with the assistance of [Supreme Ice Flame], he could defeat and kill Immortal Step experts.
During the Storm Sword Duel gathering, Ye Qingyu’s physical strength left him almost unscathed from the direct [White Lotus Immortal Sword] attack launched by Chen Shaohua. And now that he had been training in the Underground Moon Immortal Palace for one month, as well as fused with a few drops of the thunder liquid, he was much stronger than he was before.
Although the Devouring Heaven Demon General was an Immortal Step expert, he was only a half Immortal Step expert and not a real Immortal Step expert.
Though he was wielding a divine blade, he was no match for Ye Qingyu.
When Ye Qingyu activated the True Will of the Sky Dragon, one hand transformed into a dragon claw, even a divine weapon was crushed like mud.
His words drew a loud cheer from almost all the people present.
There were even people with tears running down their face.
The same words had different effects from different people’s mouth.
After beating and crushing Devouring Heaven Demon General, Ye Qingyu’s words rumbled and echoed across the entire square, and there was a powerful force that made everyone feel that something was burning and boiling in their body.
This... was power.
Opposite.
Devouring Heaven Demon General grew increasingly distressed, his expression indefinitely gloomy.
At this moment, he was absolutely certain that he was definitely no match for the ugly chubby man.
If they continued to fight, he most likely would be killed.
The dignity of an expert of the Demon Spider Race made him very reluctant to retreat.
But as the commander of a corps, his reasoning told him that he couldn’t blindly rely on his individual strength to be a hero.
“Good, I didn’t expect there to be an expert like you in the Human Race, I underestimated you.” Devouring Heaven Demon General saw that the other side refused to announce his name, and immediately realized that the chubby man’s outer appearance may even be fake. He should be one of the famous experts of Clear River Domain in disguise, since he was afraid to reveal his identity then he must be scared that the Demon Spider Race would retaliate in the future.
He gave a grim smile, saying, “You who show the tail but hide the face, I understand, you are afraid so you don’t dare to show your true face, but you dare to fight my Demon Spider Race. Then you must be prepared, not only you, even your relatives, master, and the people of your sect, are going to die! Haha, you think you have won by defeating me? The black spider twins... still haven’t fought yet!”
Before his voice faded away.
Swoosh!
A stream of silver light flashed.
The pair of twins who had been standing next to Devouring Heaven Demon General all along blocked Ye Qingyu’s path.
Before the Devouring Heaven Demon General said anything, they were like two unactivated pieces of machinery, even if the general was beaten miserably, they still had not made a move.
But when Devouring Heaven Demon General’s voice began to fade, the white-robed twins moved.
Like a flash of flowing light, they were extremely fast.
And these two people, like each other’s shadow, were incomparably coordinated. Whether it was movement, speed, or expression, they were all identical.
Ye Qingyu slightly knitted his brows in a frown.
He could feel that the aura slowly diffused out from the two white-robed youngsters were unexpectedly superior to that of the Devouring Heaven Demon General.
Ye Qingyu immediately understood the meaning of Devouring Heaven Demon General’s words.
But...
“Haha, while the demon climbs a foot, the Dao climbs ten feet. Devouring Heaven, no matter how you struggle, today must be the day of your death.” Ye Qingyu coldly laughed. “The soul of every brave warrior sacrificed in this Flowing Light City are waiting for your sentence...” Ye Qingyu then said without turning his head back, “Old Hu, I leave Devouring Heaven to you, finish him off quickly. These two white spiders, let me deal with them.”
Before his voice died away.
The crowd was slightly stunned.
But at this time, a surging terrifying wave of yuan qi erupted from the execution platform.
They could only see a slim figure sudden flashing away, soaring skywards, heading in the direction of Devouring Heaven Demon General.
“Hahaha, you finally let me do something. Haha, good, I have long found these spiders irritating, I’ll get some Demon Spider to barbecue for food.” Hu Bugui’s voice rumbled in the air like a clap of thunder. Then suddenly hundreds of golden fist images, like the sun rising in the morning, carrying a strange power, frantically whooshed to where Devouring Heaven Demon General stood.
Fist images blotted out the sky, as if everywhere were meteors falling in the sky, lighting up in flames.
“What?”
Devouring Heaven Demon General’s expression wildly changed, screaming out in disbelief.
“What?”
The innkeeper and others also exclaimed.
But the difference was that Devouring Heaven Demon General’s voice contained undisguisable shock, horror and anger, while the innkeeper’s and others’ were filled with joy and excitement.
Just now, when the black spider twins suddenly acted, blocking Ye Qingyu, their heart in fact did jump to their throats. They were all martial arts expert, although their strengths were far inferior to that of Ye Qingyu, but they could still tell that these black spider twins possess frightening strength that was higher-level than Devouring Heaven Demon General. They didn’t expect this to happen, and were worried that Ye Qingyu might be defeated. They might have rejoiced too soon and all efforts today might have been wasted.
But it never occurred to them that the saviours that descended today were not only Ye Qingyu.
In addition to this ugly chubby man, there was another incredibly powerful slim man.
There was another helping hand!
This really was too good.
The innkeeper and others were almost weeping with joy.
It was absolutely impossible for those that have not experienced despair to know of their feelings at this moment.
It was also at this point that the battle begun.
“[The Fist of the Dawn]!”
Hu Bugui’s punch was like thunder, not in the least inferior to when Ye Qingyu saved Chen Zhengliang, and instantly suppressed the Devouring Heaven Demon General.
“Ah ah ah ah ah... who the hell are you?” Devouring Heaven Demon General roared. Activating his blood and qi, he instantly healed his wounds, and stood together with Hu Bugui.
Ye Qingyu’s punch just now had severely wounded him. Although he had treated the injury with blood and qi, it still consumed many of his origin power, reduced his strength by a level, and made him no match for Hu Bugui.
The other side.
The black spider twins and Ye Qingyu were in distant confrontation.
On the two people’s machine-like faces, as though they were made from the same mould, at this time there were undisguisable puzzlement and shock.
They felt the terror of the chubby man’s power.
“Kill! White Jade Sky Web!””
The next moment, a bolt of lightning emerged in the eyes of the twins, bursting with killing intent.
The two people’s movements were in unison, performing hand seals, as white spider web of a diameter of five meters appeared before Ye Qingyu.
The giant net gently shook. Each thread of silk was entangled with rune markings the thickness of a strand of hair, emitting silvery white light, and reflected onto the snow and ice scattered across the sky, and it became increasingly cold.
This was an innate skill of the Demon Spider Race. The white spider web moved along with the thoughts of the twins, enveloping Ye Qingyu, and the strong oppressive feeling was as though a mountain was crashing down on Ye Qingyu’s head.
Ye Qingyu looked at the pair of expressionless twins who seemed like they were wearing a mask, and responded with a slight smile, showing no intention of evading.
The True Will of the Sky Dragon was in full operation, his pair of arms at the same time turned into dragon claws, purple lightning twisting around, and he was like the Divine dragon in charge of thunder and lightning.
When the white spiderweb fell, he chuckled, raised his hands, and grasped the huge net of steel wire.
Tear and pull!
In the hands of Ye Qingyu, the giant net was like a rag, being torn into two halves by Ye Qingyu’s bare hands.
Upon careful look at the two ripped halves of the web that he casually discarded on the ground, there were rune markings covered by a layer of light purple current, as if imprisoned and unable to move.
A trace of shock appeared in the twins’ white eyes.
Who was this man that was so overbearing and powerful, and held the power of thunder and lightning?
He seemed familiar to another person.
But... rumour had it that the man was definitely not this strong.
When the Flowing Light City was destroyed, there was no such person.
Such thoughts, like lightning, flashed across the minds of these two people.
But their hands had not stopped in the slightest.
In mid-air.
The twins’ white robes billowed without wind, and the white jade demon bone folding fan suddenly produced a mist-like ball of light.
Among the light, two silver shadows soared and spread.
The next moment, two dozens-of-meters-tall giant spiders were blocking in front.
Roar!
The giant spiders roared in unison, the sword-like hairs on their legs emitting waves of light ripples, tearing apart the void. The huge legs were extending out from clouds of different heights, stretching toward Ye Qingyu. The jagged hairs on the legs instantly cut the clouds into thousands of fragments.
Ye Qingyu’s fighting spirit broke out.
He lifted his head to look at the dozens of legs coming at his direction, clenched his fist, and in the twinkling of a light, a piercing cold light sword emerged.
The sword was like a solid substance.
Purple currents crackled at the tip of the sword.
“[Sword Storm]!”
There was a thunderous roar.
Ye Qingyu’s movements were graceful and agile, not at all clumsy and awkward like his chubby outer appearance.
The sword intent filled the air.
His figure was only faintly discernible and the moment he brought his sword down on one of the legs it seemed as effortless and smooth as cutting through soil or a melon.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The frost-like sword struck the giant spider’s leg, producing a deafening boom.
The sound of divine weapons striking one another made everyone feel a soul-shaking fear.
Several seconds later.
The two giant spiders’ legs were all severed off by the ice sword, the broken limbs turned to a mass of demonic qi that dissipated in the air.
Only the remaining body of the spiders was constantly issuing a mournful roar of pain, and a glimmer of shock and fear flashed in the eyes of the pair of twins.
“Your pets are a little useless, look at my pet, haha!”
Ye Qingyu, standing above in the skies, raised his hand into the air and the ice sword soared.
Suddenly rustling noises sounded from his bosom, when a mini-sized white ball impatiently darted out like a bolt of lightning, pouncing toward the giant spiders.
“Woof... woof... yummy food, here I come!””
The white ball, like a lightning bolt, was moving about wildly, and except Ye Qingyu, not one person was able to capture his path. It was the silly dog.
As though he had transformed into a ferocious mythological animal, like wind sweeping away clouds, there was only a flash of white light and no signs of movement, but in the blink of an eye the giant spider body that was thousands of times larger than him was completely devoured.
“Belch... Belch... Woof... Woof is stuffed...”
Little Nine returned to Ye Qingyu's shoulder after eating.
Resuming to his former mini-puppy appearance, he held up his pudgy belly, swaying side to side like a drunkard, and occasionally belched and spat out masses of black fog.
Ye Qingyu couldn’t help rolling his eyes, and grabbed the silly dog, stuffing him back into his bosom.
The silly dog had exposed his face on that day he saved Yu Xiaoxing, so he should not stay for too long to avoid being identified.
Fortunately, that day, the dog was a pony-sized giant dog, completely different to his current mini appearance, very few people will notice.
“You! What’s in your arms?”
A biting chill and panic broke out from the twins’ eyes.
What monster was that that could completely devour one of the sacred pets of the Demon Spider Race?
……
At this moment, all the Human Race warriors felt their blood boiling.
The anger and passion, hidden deep in their hearts, was completely ignited.
Looking at the enemies being suppressed effortlessly and Ye Qingyu killing two giant Demon Spiders in a split second, all eyes were flashing with joy and excitement.
The fighting spirit within these human warriors was completely ignited. Even though they were all blood-soaked and covered with wounds, they still trembled emotionally.
This was not a battle to save the Human Race warriors.
This was a fight to save the people of Clear River Domain.
This was a battle to pledge the rise of the Human Race!
On the huge square, the nearly one hundred thousand neglected Flowing Light City civilians, at this time, also calmed down.
They seemed to be no longer afraid, no longer confused, and no longer fearful.
Because they saw hope.
Ten meters above their heads was a thin layer of soft frosty qi.
It was unknown when, but the snow had stopped.
But then another blanket of frost, like a layer of invisible light shield, spread across thousands of meters, enveloping everyone within.
Whenever there was demonic qi or yuan qi striking the shield overhead, like rain gently caressing the lake, faint ripples undulated across.
Although the ground was incessantly quaking, and in mid-air there were aftershocks from the waves of yuan qi, but they did not feel the slightest threatened being protected within the boundary.
This was the yuan qi formation that Ye Qingyu had set up during the fight.
This time he came to save people. Of course, he first had to ensure the safety of the fellow citizens
Otherwise, the aftermath of the battle among experts would most likely wound and kill more than half of these civilians on the large square.
On the square, the atmosphere was livening up.
Watching their fellow citizens heroically fight back against the Demon Race, the civilians also felt a surge of excitement and anxiousness, like two Human Race gods had descended, and had become their hope of regaining their homes and homeland, and for revenge.
……
On the observation platform.
“You lowly humans, today you dare to kill us, but in the future the Demon Race army will wash Flowing Light City with blood!” Devouring Heaven Demon General wildly roared.
He was in great distress at this moment.
Under the repeated attacks of Hu Bugui’s [Time Fist Technique], he did not know how many punches he had sustained. His body was like a torn sack, exhausted and tattered. He also lost track of how many times he had forcibly restored his body and consumed his origin power, but he still had his head low, his eyes filled with fear, and his whole body was covered with blood.
“Lowly? Do you think you demons that destroy people’s homeland and wilfully kill the old and young are very noble?
Hu Bugui’s eyes were overflowing with killing intent, like the God of Asura.
