Stranger Danger-Chapter 1713: I Will Rise To The Blue Sky

“With my fist, I will crush all injustice and rise to the blue sky...”

Ye Qing simply raised his hand and punched. His fist intent immediately shook the sky, shattered the Five Phases, annihilated yin and yang, and silenced all things. It was Annihilation Hammer.

He was now a second-level Sage. Therefore, Annihilation Hammer’s fist intent was no longer a burden to him. Naturally, his full-powered Annihilation Hammer could turn all things in the nine heavens or the ten lands into dust.

His fist emerged without a sound, but it was stronger than it would have been otherwise.

The pouring black water dried up completely like a stream or a pond that was completely evaporated by the blazing sun.

The monsters in the black water all burned into ash like burned firewood. In fact, even the ash dissolved into nothingness before it could fall to the ground.

“Ah! You dare!”

Black Mountain and Flying Dragon were furious when they saw this. Black Mountain roared, and his flames formed a giant flame axe in his hand.

Then, he grabbed the axe with both hands and brought it down heavily on Ye Qing.

Rumble!

Fire poured down at the same time the axe swung toward Ye Qing. Every time it descended an inch, the fire would grow a tad hotter. Three inches later, it had become hot enough to burn everything.

Ignoring the fire, the pure, destructive strength that desired to shatter mountains and rivers and sunder the land was beyond scary as well.

Bang!

The sky was originally filled with the fist intent of Annihilation Hammer, but the axe split it into pieces. It continued toward Ye Qing without losing its power.

Despite the destructive power displayed by the axe, Ye Qing showed no signs of dodging.

For one, he did not plan on dodging. He didn’t fear the axe strike, so why would he need to dodge?

Two, he could not dodge. After all, Old Jingjue was behind him.

So, Ye Qing lifted his foot and took another step forward.

Thump

When his foot landed, it elicited a thump that sounded like a divine being striking a drum.

At the same time, Ye Qing withdrew his fist half an inch. Space collapsed as if the sky had fallen just a little. Within this half an inch of space was rumbling thunder, a gathering storm, the roars of dragons and tigers, the powerful currents of the deep sea...

It only lasted for an instant before merging together into primal chaos; into boundlessness.

No one deserves to be my enemy besides me; no one deserves to be my match besides me. Hence, boundlessness.

And so Ye Qing thrust his fist forward once more and clashed against the descending axe.

Rumble!

A shockwave washed out from the center of the impact. The sky became wrinkled like it was a piece of fabric, then shattered like it was glass.

The next moment, the axe started shattering starting from the blade all the way to the hilt.

This was not the end, however. It was just the beginning. The cracks continued to spread from the hilt to Black Mountain’s fingers, arm, torso...

Bang!

There was a soft bang, and the axe exploded into a million pieces. Fire scattered everywhere, though it was snuffed out entirely in the next moment.

At the same time, half of Black Mountain’s body also exploded into a shower of blood and gore. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

“Argh!”

It was only now Black Mountain seemed to notice his state and let out a painful cry.

Of course, Ye Qing didn’t come away unscathed. Although he had shattered Black Mountain’s axe and half of his body in one punch, his fist was bloodied, and he was stumbling backward.

Every time he stepped backward, the sky would shudder like an epic drumbeat.

It was at this moment Flying Dragon appeared behind Ye Qing.

If Black Mountain’s very presence was earthshaking, much less his movement, then Flying Dragon was the complete opposite. He appeared behind Ye Qing without eliciting a single noise or kicking up even a single grain of dust. He was so stealthy that not even Ye Qing detected anything.

The next moment, Flying Dragon raised his right hand and curled them into claws. His fingers were glinting sharply and glowing mysteriously. It easily ripped through Ye Qing’s protective aura and stabbed against the back of Ye Qing’s head.

“Die!”

Flying Dragon’s eyes flickered with ruthlessness and cruelty as he declared.

However, Ye Qing’s head did not explode into a shower of brain matter and gore as he thought it would. Instead, there was a soft ping that sounded like a pearl landing on a jade plate.

Flying Dragon’s eyes widened. His claw strike was not nearly as imposing as Black Mountain’s axe strike was, but it could easily rip metal into pieces, split mountains and seas, and even sunder space and void into nothing.

In his opinion, his attack should deal Ye Qing a severe blow even if it failed to kill him.

In reality, his claw strike clashed against Ye Qing’s head like a normal person’s finger jabbing against a tough rock. Not only was Ye Qing’s head perfectly fine, it was his fingers that were twitching in pain.

Swoosh!

Unable to believe what was happening, Flying Dragon landed another strike on Ye Qing’s skull.

Pssh!

This time, his fingers easily pierced through Ye Qing’s head. He could feel the young man’s skull splitting open and see his blood and brain matter spilling everywhere.

“Yes! Now we’re talking!”

Flying Dragon was overjoyed—or at least he was until he saw the Ye Qing he just skewered slowly disappearing into nothing right before eyes. His smile froze on his face.

As it turned out, the person he just killed wasn’t a real person. It was an illusion.

As soon as he understood what was happening, terror abruptly exploded in Flying Dragon’s heart. Without hesitation, he flapped his wings and appeared several kilometers away in an instant.

“Phew...”

Flying Dragon let out a sigh of relief.

“What’s the hurry?”

However, an indifferent voice coming from behind his back quickly shattered that relief. “It’s not like you’re going anywhere!”

Flying Dragon’s eyes widened as every hair on his body stood on end. He tried to slip into space once more, but Ye Qing was faster and grabbed his head first.

“It is impolite not to reciprocate!”

Ye Qing’s voice entered his ears. “You should enjoy the feeling of your head being crushed as well.”

Pop!

Ye Qing clenched his fingers, and Flying Dragon’s head exploded without a sound. In fact, it wasn’t just his head. His body had exploded into pieces as well.

“What in the world...”

On the ground, the queen of Old Jingjue was utterly stunned by what she was witnessing right now.

Was she young and inexperienced? Of course not. But this, this was beyond stunning.

The small fries were one thing, but Black Mountain and Flying Dragon were both bonafide Sages on the same level as she. In fact, they were much stronger after they received the divine power of the Black Water Heavenly God. Just one of them could have annihilated Old Jingjue with ease. She would have been no match even if she was at peak condition.

But now, Ye Qing was kicking both their asses like they were his grandsons. Just how was this possible?

Were they really Sages?

Were they really the infamous Black Water Divine Sect that stumped all elites and champions of the Western Regions?

Were they really the heads that intimidated all living beings of the Western Regions?

Why were they so weak?

Of course, the heads weren’t actually weak. Ye Qing was just too strong.

He was strong beyond her imagination; strong beyond Black Mountain and Flying Dragon’s combined might.

This man might actually be able to resolve this latest Black Water crisis and save the Western Regions from disaster.

No, that wasn’t right. He will. There was just no chance he could fail.

The queen of Old Jingjue’s eyes shone bright when she thought this.

It was the light called hope.

The queen of Old Jingjue watched as Ye Qing took one step forward and appeared beside Black Mountain. The Sage was still struggling to restore the missing half of his body.

“Is this all you got? And here I thought you were going to give me a real challenge.”
