Chapter 2066: Chapter 2067: This Is the End

The elder in front is indeed not weak, his aura faintly carries an oppression.

If Ye Qiu were an ordinary Martial Artist of the Returning Void Realm, he would definitely be extremely apprehensive facing such an aura. But Ye Qiu is not. The opponents he has fought against have not been fewer than the number of fingers on his hands even at the Saint Realm, and he has killed quite a few Martial Artists of the Saint Realm.

This elder in front of him is at most considered a half Saint, at the Semi-Saint level. Others might not see through him, but Ye Qiu could see it clearly.

Since the end of the life and death path, Ye Qiu’s eyes have been significantly honed, allowing him to gauge the depth of the person in front of him. Even Ye Qiu is a bit surprised, thinking it’s a new ability of x-ray vision.

Since he’s a Semi-Saint, what’s so scary? Even if you are a true Saint, he wouldn’t be afraid, unless you are a Top-tier Saint, just one step away from the All-Heavens class powerhouses, then Ye Qiu is no match. As long as the opponent is below a Top-tier Saint, Ye Qiu truly isn’t afraid.

The elder is unaware of Ye Qiu’s many brilliant experiences. Though at the Semi-Saint level, he hasn’t fully stepped into the Saint Realm, yet he has one foot in already, with potential for future advancement.

In his view, Ye Qiu is just a young man; why would he be overly apprehensive?

It’s just taking down a normal Martial Artist of the Returning Void Realm, something he can do even more effortlessly than Ye Qiu.

The elder is confident, so from the start, he is exceedingly domineering.

However, Ye Qiu does not display the appearance of an ant, immediately feeling fear; instead, he verbally retorts sharply and scathingly.

"Die!"

In response to Ye Qiu’s counterattack, the elder immediately strikes, unleashing a killing move, enveloping Ye Qiu in the Semi-Saint’s aura in an instant. He wants to make Ye Qiu fear, to see if Ye Qiu could stand firm like before.

The Semi-Saint’s aura has a natural oppression against Martial Artists of the Returning Void Realm. This is an essential oppression. For the Returning Void Realm’s Hong Luan, upon feeling the Semi-Saint’s aura, her entire being seems as if plunged into an ice cave. She guessed that this time, the Wild Deer Dynasty indeed dispatched a formidable expert.

No wonder her father, the Mighty Great General, hasn’t appeared; he was definitely injured by this person.

The elder disregards Hong Luan’s expression and any other person around. The elder doesn’t consider anyone worth noticing. Now, he only wants to kill Ye Qiu.

How dare someone call him trash? That’s an insult to him. Saints cannot be insulted, and the same goes for a Semi-Saint.

Facing the rolling Semi-Saint aura, Ye Qiu’s thin body stands there, utterly straight, without the scene the elder expected.

Ye Qiu neither softens his legs in fear nor reveals a terrified expression, which makes the elder deeply frown.

This is impossible!

The elder thought it’s impossible for a Returning Void Realm Martial Artist to withstand his Semi-Saint aura.

If the elder knew Ye Qiu not only could withstand the Semi-Saint aura but also killed Semi-Saints before, and even slain more Saints than Semi-Saints, he probably wouldn’t think this way now.

If that were the case, he’d be fleeing without time to retaliate against Ye Qiu.

The elder is no prophet; he is confident in catching Ye Qiu, unleashing Semi-Saint aura. But soon, he realizes that his aura hasn’t startled the opponent at all.

The one surprised, instead, is himself.

Ye Qiu twisted his neck. Since advancing to the Returning Void Realm, he has mostly been dealing with Saint Realm Martial Artists, facing too few of Returning Void Realm opponents.

Frequently facing Saint Martial Artists makes this usual for Ye Qiu, which developed his powerful endurance. The Saint aura doesn’t affect him at all, let alone a half-baked Semi-Saint.

Ye Qiu completely ignores the elder, standing still in place.

Seeing the aura failure to intimidate Ye Qiu, the elder can only strike. He wields Saint power, transforming it into a sky-reaching blow, a single move of storm changes.

His palm seemed to descend from the sky, turning into a massive palm like the Tathagata Palm.

Ye Qiu no longer stood still, stamping his foot, he rushed into the sky, clashing directly with the palm.

Boom!

Ye Qiu’s figure passed through the elder’s attack, leaving him startled, turning to strike again. Ye Qiu wrapped his power around his entire body, enhancing both speed and moves several folds.

With each dodge, he precisely evades the elder’s attacks.

Seeing Ye Qiu and the elder battling fiercely, that youth of considerable standing shows a look of shock; evidently, the scene in front of him also astonishes him greatly.

The elder’s strike didn’t manage to resolve Ye Qiu instantly, a situation rarely seen.

Because in the youth’s mind, the elder’s strength is incredibly fearsome, like a god or devil; even tens of thousands of soldiers can’t hold him, destruction power unusually staggering.

But now, he sees Ye Qiu facing off with the elder, in a seemingly evenly matched situation.

This changes the meaning entirely. If Ye Qiu’s strength reaches the elder’s level, then today’s seemingly certain victory might see a new turn of events. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Uncle Ming is invincible, no one would be his match."

Despite Ye Qiu being able to hold his own against the elder now, the youth still chooses to believe, eventually, the elder will win.

At this moment, the battlefield where Ye Qiu and the elder are engaged has broadened further, as their energies continuously spread; those weaker cannot but retreat continuously. Even Hong Luan doesn’t dare to stay at the battlefield’s center now.

The elder’s ability terrifies her, while Ye Qiu’s prowess fascinates her.

Hong Luan, hailed as a talented Martial Artist in the Giant Elephant Dynasty, always considered few could surpass her in cultivation, especially among her peers, she was more confident. But today, she finds her self-conception as a genius laughable.

What can be called a true genius, only people like Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu’s power puzzles Hong Luan. She, just at the Divinity Transformation Realm, can instinctively sense Ye Qiu’s level is above hers, though facing the elder, she feels the elder’s aura is even more terrifying than Ye Qiu’s.

Nevertheless, the elder has not been able to defeat Ye Qiu swiftly; instead, their fight intensifies.

This leaves Hong Luan puzzled, unable to comprehend what’s happening. Clearly, the elder appears stronger; why can Ye Qiu remain undefeated?

Compared to Hong Luan’s confusion and the youth’s shock, the elder, a contemporary, increasingly realizes Ye Qiu’s extraordinariness as they clash.

He underestimated this young man in front of him.

At such a young age, possessing the strength to match him, and still in the Returning Void Realm, the elder’s shock magnifies infinitely. Before even reaching the Saint Realm, Ye Qiu is this formidable. Battling a Semi-Saint at the Returning Void level, if entering the Saint Realm, wouldn’t he be defeated instantly?

Though unwilling to acknowledge this fact, the elder knows the truth might be just that.

"If the Giant Elephant Dynasty has such a monstrous figure, our Wild Deer Dynasty is surely in danger!"

Realizing Ye Qiu’s limitless potential, the elder resolves that Ye Qiu must be eliminated to avert a future threat to the Wild Deer Dynasty.

While Ye Qiu, fighting the elder, feels utterly bored. Semi-Saints are too weak, posing no threat to him whatsoever.

This encounter urges him to end the battle sooner.

"Let’s end this."

Suddenly, Ye Qiu and the elder speak the same words in unison, both startled, then both reveal a serious demeanor.

Evidently, both sides feel it’s time to decide the outcome.
