Chapter 1497: Chapter 1497: Hunt for the Descenders (Part 5)
With one sword, two Void-breaking Realm experts were killed!
After a long while, Ye Qiu slowly lowered the Bahuang Sword, suppressing the overwhelming murderous intent in his heart, and his eyes gradually regained a rational hue.
The mysterious markings on his body disappeared as he exited the blackening state.
“Did I kill them?”
Ye Qiu stared at the two corpses drifting on the sea, feeling quite tumultuous inside.
At this mont, Ye Qiu was sowhat astonished. He looked at the Bahuang Sword, recalling that mont when he felt himself completely rged with the Bahuang Sword, becoming a deity of slaughter.
The surging killing intent in the Bahuang Sword aligned perfectly with his blackened emotional state.
“Could it be because of this alignnt that such formidable power was unleashed?”
Ye Qiu’s mind was still recalling the gentle slash he made with the sword earlier. It was that gentle slash that easily destroyed two Void-breaking Realm experts.
Without the help of the ghost-faced double, he accomplished the feat of defeating Void-breaking Realm experts as a true Imperial Realm cultivator.
Ye Qiu’s heart was far from calm. The unintended fusion between his blackening state and the Bahuang Sword resulted in a potent chemical reaction, which was surprisingly powerful, aning he could face Void-breaking Realm experts alone.
“Given this, even facing three Void-breaking Realm experts, I now have the power to battle them.” Ye Qiu’s mind stirred, realizing that he alone could fight two Void-breaking experts, and with the ghost-faced double, it was natural to match against three.
Swish…
Waves of spiritual power scouted the area.
“This is not a place to linger.” Ye Qiu’s expression shifted, he concealed his presence imdiately and departed swiftly.
Surely, his confrontation with the two Void-breaking experts caused quite a commotion, attracting the attention of those searching the sea.
Monts later, figures appeared, stopping upon the sea surface.
The first to arrive was an elder who, upon seeing the bodies of the two Void-breaking experts, was stunned: “Protector from Ancient Sect! Protector from Youlan Sect!”
One after another, those who appeared all showed similar expressions of shock; the death of two Void-breaking experts was not a trivial matter, even if their relation was minimal or nonexistent, all originated from the ancestral land.
Such a short ti from the mont they felt turbulence, no more than a few breaths, two Void-breaking experts had already perished.
“Judging by their wounds, they were instantly severed by a sharp instrunt at the sa ti when killed.” An arriving expert said, frowning.
“Simultaneous deaths?”
The phrase is not ordinary; able to instantly kill two Void-breaking Martial Artists, this person, even if not the best, must be among the elite Void-breaking experts, especially since he possessed imnse strength.
“Can you deduce who killed them?”
“Hard to guess, perhaps a vendetta, perhaps internal strife.
“It shouldn’t be, Ancient Sect, Youlan Sect don’t have common enemies, right? Instantly killing two protectors from sects, this person is extrely dangerous.”
“Let’s go; maybe there’s a resentnt we know nothing about, for now, the priority is finding that native.”
The group of arrivals did not linger long and swiftly departed. The death of two Void-breaking experts didn’t attract much attention. In the ancestral land, such incidents happen daily; only on Earth, should be fewer in mutual slaughter, mainly for treasure.
Yet still, soone perished, but that wasn’t enough to draw everyone’s attention.
Moreover, many arrivals didn’t even consider Ye Qiu as the possible perpetrator, instinctively believing the person’s actions must be of a skilled Void-breaking expert.
Ye Qiu, a native, understanding nine types of Rule Power, how could he possibly break through to Void-breaking Realm?
This led many to ignore the possibility of Ye Qiu being the one behind it.
The subconscious exclusion led to a perplexity in the deaths of subsequent arrivals.
After making so adjustnts, Ye Qiu once again searched for a target, continuing his hunting plan.
Now, he had acquired so understanding of his power after blackening, making the simultaneous confrontation with three arrivals potentially achievable.
The first day, three arrivals died, no one paid attention.
The second day, five arrivals died, causing so to frown; eight arrivals died in just two days, seed unreasonable.
By the third day, seven arrivals perished, then people started to realize the gravity of the problem; it was evident a targeted assault on the arrivals was happening.
Nurous arrivals began to discuss who the murderer was, specifically hunting down those arrivals, making all present feel endangered; the next target could very well be any of them.
This kind of news couldn’t be contained, spreading swiftly amidst Seal Holders and Saint Heirs alike.
Many Seal Holders felt delighted, discovering the attacks primarily targeted Void-breaking experts, with less powerful ones remaining untouched.
“Just afraid this expert might soday find us little figures to attack out of boredom.” So Seal Holders felt pessimistic, fearing death may co knocking on their doors.
“Forget it, I won’t stay in this sea anymore; putting my life at stake for a reward is not worth it at all.” A Seal Holder exited the search for Ye Qiu’s group.
When one decides to retreat, naturally a second one follows quickly, leaving less than ten Seal Holders behind promptly.
…
On a beach, an elder sat cross-legged, frequently attracting many glances, particularly in the sumr, wearing so much, dressed in ancient attire, quite eye-catching regardless of location.
This person was none other than a powerful mber of the Mother Mountain Sect.
A strong mber of the Mother Mountain Sect wouldn’t mind the gaze of mortals; if displeased, he could kill them all without batting an eye.
The Mother Mountain Sect expert remained still as a mountain, constantly seated on the beach, observing hundreds of li around, vigilantly watching for Ye Qiu’s appearance.
Next to the Mother Mountain Sect expert stood a fair-skinned, exceptionally graceful Western man.
If dressed in a suit with a fitting hairstyle, he’d undoubtedly be a handso man, yet at this mont, the man wore a face full of helplessness, appearing downcast, who would imagine this to be the Western god, Shang Emperor.
Shang Emperor was kept by the Mother Mountain Sect expert, forbidden to leave, constantly pondering where he’d seen Shang Emperor before, keeping Emperor on edge daily, fearing the old man might recall their past encounter.
Shang Emperor wanted to leave but couldn’t, unable to win in a fight, so resignedly stayed alongside.
Not long after, a strong presence erged, invigorating Shang Emperor; the Mother Mountain Sect expert opened his eyes.
The new arrival began explaining the continuous deaths of Void-breaking experts over the past days on the sea, causing the Mother Mountain Sect expert to frown frequently: “Not sure who’s the expert dealing specifically with us?”
“Absolutely clueless, just hope he’s not targeting everyone here, otherwise, each person’s at risk.”
“Better report this to the authorities on high, seek to have more individuals descend.”
Shang Emperor stood by, listening carefully, puzzled by the sudden ergence of a murder fiend on the ocean; could it be a mutation among sea creatures?
Or perhaps, was the attacker that certain soone?
For so reason, the face surfacing in Shang Emperor’s mind at this mont turned out to be Ye Qiu’s.
