"It's almost over! Almost over! This time, their duel will be over soon. Ye Qiu, I want to see just what kind of strength you think you have, to make you so arrogant!"
Dongfang Ye kept a cold face, staring intently at the front. For him, this was a perfect opportunity to kill Ye Qiu!
The dust gradually cleared across the sky!
Slowly, Dongfang Ye finally saw the scene in the battlefield!
The next moment, his expression froze!
"This, how is this possible?" Dongfang Ye muttered incredulously!
He could not accept the result before his eyes no matter what!
Just now, the combined attack of the Demon Extermination Squad made Dongfang Ye feel that even the Clan Leader of the Dongfang Family couldn't easily withstand it, yet Ye Qiu chose to meet it head-on, clearly courting disaster.
However, the final result was nothing like that!
In the area where Ye Qiu battled the Demon Extermination Squad, a deep pit several meters in diameter appeared, and the surrounding ground was blasted into over a dozen large craters due to the massive explosion.
Under such a violent assault, Ye Qiu stood there without moving an inch!
Of course, the seven members of the Demon Extermination Squad were not injured either.
In the first clash, both sides ended up even.
"This... how can this Ye Qiu be so terrifying?" Dongfang Ge beside Dongfang Ye was even more frightened, and even more regretful.
Such an intense battle scene, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it could only appear in movies!
"Dongfang Ye, I, I really think we should take the opportunity to escape!" Dongfang Ge said tremblingly to Dongfang Ye, worried that after the battle ended, Ye Qiu might find them and take their lives but also afraid of angering Dongfang Ye, which could get him killed by Dongfang Ye.
"No, definitely can't leave!"
Dongfang Ye gritted his teeth, his attitude becoming more determined.
The recent clash made him deeply appreciate Ye Qiu's strength, and further confirmed his previous thoughts, that Ye Qiu definitely possessed some kind of heaven-defying Cultivation Technique!
Otherwise, no matter how high someone's talent, they couldn't possibly have such strength!
Dongfang Ye recalled the young genius ranked first in the Dongfang Family, about the same age as Ye Qiu, who consumed a vast amount of family resources, and was only at the Peak of the King!
The Dongfang Family is a Hidden Clan, rich in resources, yet that genius, a rare talent in a hundred years, was only at the Peak of the King after being trained by the family for so long.
In stark contrast, Dongfang Ye couldn't believe that Ye Qiu didn't have some sort of heaven-defying Cultivation Technique!
Thinking about such tremendous benefits, how could Dongfang Ye willingly give up?
The greatest opportunity was right in front of him, how could he give up?
"Dongfang Ge, from now on, if you dare say anything about escaping again, I will kill you immediately!" Dongfang Ye glared viciously at Dongfang Ge, then continued through gritted teeth, "We mustn't rush, we absolutely mustn't rush now, the battle has just begun. In battles between masters, the first encounter is often a test. Those seven haven't exerted their full strength yet!"
Dongfang Ye was right.
The Demon Extermination Squad's first strike indeed wasn't full force.
It was merely to test Ye Qiu!
After a draw with Ye Qiu, all seven felt Ye Qiu's power, their expressions turning extremely serious!
They all felt the terror of Ye Qiu's strength!
The initial attack, though not full force, according to the information passed to the Demon Extermination Squad, such an attack could easily injure a strong individual who had just stepped into the Half-Step Divinity Transformation realm.
Thus, at first, the members of the Demon Extermination Squad were very confident!
In their view, even if Ye Qiu had stepped into the Half-Step Divinity Transformation realm, he had only recently broken through, and as long as they could find Ye Qiu, they still had a very high chance to kill him!
Though the first encounter was just a test, they hadn't expected to draw against the recently advanced Ye Qiu.
This result also exceeded the expectations of all seven members of the Demon Extermination Squad!
The seven members of the Demon Extermination Squad couldn't help but regard Ye Qiu more highly, their expressions solemn, facing such a powerful enemy as Ye Qiu, they didn't want to waste any time.
After the first attack was ineffective, they immediately decided to use even greater force against Ye Qiu!
"Ha!!!"
The seven members of the Demon Extermination Squad exchanged glances, then shouted in unison. Instantly, an even greater power erupted from their bodies, and even a faint red mist began to seep from their pores!
The mist was very faint, yet it was filled with a strong bloody scent, covering the entire space in an instant!
"Uh-oh!"
Not far away, observing the battle, Cat was alarmed, his expression turning somewhat grim.
Though he didn't have the fearsome strength of Ye Qiu, he could clearly feel that under the red mist's coverage, the power of the seven members of the Demon Extermination Squad began to ascend steadily!
The aura the seven exuded had reached two to three times its original force!
This tightened Cat's nerves further, worried that Ye Qiu alone might struggle against the seven masters, and perhaps even get injured as a result!
Cat wanted to go help Ye Qiu, but had no way to do so, only able to watch helplessly, knowing full well his own situation. If he went to deal with the seven members of the Demon Extermination Squad, he would only become a burden for Ye Qiu!
"Ye Qiu, you're dead meat!"
After unleashing an even more formidable power, the leader of the Blood Demon Squad finally spoke, coldly saying, "The Blood Demon Skill we just used is a supreme technique taught to us by our master!
It allows us to burst forth with even greater power for a short time. Even a master who has been in the Half-Step Divinity Transformation realm for twenty or thirty years couldn't match the seven of us, so, so-called Demon King, you are already dead!
Though this Blood Demon Skill costs us our vitality, if we kill you, our master will reward us with enough treasures to repair the damage our bodies have suffered!"
"Ye Qiu, go to hell!"
"Prepare to die!!!"
All seven members of the Demon Extermination Squad roared, their eyes blood-red, crazily charging toward Ye Qiu once again!
Almost simultaneously, the blood-colored mist enveloping the entire space grew denser!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the terrifying explosive force, many places nearby experienced significant explosions, and the ground rumbled continually. Most frightening of all, many large stones around just shattered and crumbled into dust!
At this moment, watching the battle from afar, Dongfang Ye couldn't help but let a cruel smile slip.
Even from several hundred meters away, he felt he couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure, sensing his own bones cracking bit by bit, reinforcing his conviction that if Ye Qiu dared to bear such an attack, he would surely be seriously injured!
"Ye Qiu, just wait. Once you're seriously injured, I'll deliver the fatal blow!" Dongfang Ye murmured expectantly.
