The originally furious onslaught of the Blood Cross elite members was halted in its tracks under the explosive force of a single punch from Ye Qiu!
Almost everyone had sheer terror written in their eyes!
"This, is this the power of the Demon King Ye Qiu?"
"A monster, he's nothing short of a monster, how can he be this strong?"
"Just one punch, and over a thousand people perished at his hands..."
"He only used one punch, how can we continue this battle?"
Having witnessed the full might of the Demon King Ye Qiu, the remaining Blood Cross members were all terrified, retreating continuously, no one dared to rush forward to be the first anymore.
After all, the scene just now was simply too horrifying.
Just one punch, and over a thousand lives lost.
Facing such a master, even if all Blood Cross members were hardened criminals, they didn't want to rush in foolishly to their deaths.
Meanwhile, around the world, influential figures were stunned, their shocked hearts unable to calm down for a long time.
"Oh my God, what on earth just happened?"
"Facing an onslaught of nearly ten thousand, Demon King Ye Qiu actually, actually gained the upper hand?"
"One punch killed over a thousand people, is this something a human can do?"
"Is this the true strength of Demon King Ye Qiu? It's terrifying, he can't possibly have reached the level of Heaven, can he?"
"It's hard to say, but I think unless Heaven intervenes directly, no one in Blood Cross can stop the Demon King."
Dark Forces leaders around the world were all subjected to unprecedented shock.
Who would have thought that facing an assault from nearly ten thousand Blood Cross elites, Ye Qiu could unleash such an explosive counterattack.
Nearly ten thousand Blood Cross elites were being pushed back, fearful to engage!
"Damn it, how is this guy so strong?" a Demon Extermination Squad member said, his face dark.
The others had the same grim expressions, watching Ye Qiu intently. Originally, they wanted to use the chaos of Ye Qiu's being beset to find an opening and kill Ye Qiu. They never expected that in under two minutes, all the Blood Cross elites would be frightened out of their wits by Ye Qiu!
Of course, the six members of the Demon Extermination Squad were also scared. They were the main forces in this operation to kill Ye Qiu, but even watching nearly ten thousand keep retreating from Ye Qiu, they didn't dare to give the order to besiege Ye Qiu again.
Previously, Ye Qiu only used one punch, but it caused heavy losses for Blood Cross. If he threw a few more punches, wouldn't Blood Cross be wiped out completely?
"What should we do? What can we do?"
"The Demon King's power is too strong, we can't stop him at all."
"To handle this level of power, I fear even Heaven would need to act personally."
Demon Extermination Squad members looked at each other helplessly, able to command nearly ten thousand, but standing there, unable to do anything about the Demon King Ye Qiu.
The atmosphere became silent.
Facing Ye Qiu alone, the nearly ten thousand Blood Cross elites didn't dare to take even a step closer!
However, a few seconds later.
One of the Demon Extermination Squad members suddenly brightened up, and with delight said, "Did you guys notice that Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu has absolutely no qi fluctuations in his body!"
"Huh?"
"Really?"
The other Demon Extermination Squad members were all stunned, beginning to sense for Ye Qiu's qi.
Soon, they confirmed it!
The Demon King Ye Qiu indeed had no qi presence in him!
A true martial cultivator, if there's no qi in their body, isn't that just a cripple?
"What exactly is going on? Why does he have no qi in his body, yet was able to unleash such powerful force earlier, how does he do it?" someone from the Demon Extermination Squad asked.
"Haha, I understand, I see now. The reason Ye Qiu could release such powerful energy is not because he possesses immense personal strength, but clearly because he used some kind of mystical artifact."
"Indeed, it must be some artifact. After all, he is the Demon King Ye Qiu, obtaining such an artifact is very plausible, and did you notice that earlier, he punched towards the ground? Such explosive force, if aimed directly at people, wouldn't it cause more casualties? Why choose to punch the ground?"
"That's right, punching the ground was probably meant to cover up the use of a powerful mystical artifact."
"If that's the case, what is there to fear? Now, with the Demon King void of qi, isn't he just a cripple? I doubt he can continue using such a powerful artifact."
The Demon Extermination Squad members whispered among themselves, soon all showing a peculiar gleam in their eyes!
They unanimously concluded on one answer!
The Demon King Ye Qiu, with all qi absent from his body, had become a cripple!
The earlier outburst was merely due to an artifact!
Just a paper tiger!
If so, then what is there to fear from a mere Demon King Ye Qiu?
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" One of the Demon Extermination Squad members couldn't help but laugh madly, staring at Ye Qiu with contempt, "Ha, Demon King, so you're the so-called great Demon King, did you really resort to such lowly tricks to scare us?
Do you really think we're all fools, unable to see that your body is void of qi, turning you into a mere cripple? And that relying on some strong mystical artifact would allow you to do as you please at the Blood Cross headquarters?
Hehehe, Demon King Ye Qiu, you're way too naïve. Now that the artifact is exhausted, I want to see what else you can do!"
"Demon King Ye Qiu, die!"
That Demon Extermination Squad member roared, madly charging towards Ye Qiu. At this moment, the figure before him seemed no longer the legendary Demon King, but rather his future hope, his stepping stone.
Not just him, all the remaining Demon Extermination Squad members shared the same perspective!
The Demon King Ye Qiu is already a dead man walking! Killing Ye Qiu will complete Heaven's assignment!
When that time comes, the side effects of forcefully breaking through to the King Realm will be completely resolved by Heaven, and most importantly, for killing Ye Qiu, gaining immense credit, it would mean certainly becoming a high-ranking Blood Cross member!
Position, honor, wealth, would there be anything lacking?
All six Demon Extermination Squad members brimmed with confidence, feeling that by combining their force and unleashing their half-step Divinity Transformation power, they could undoubtedly kill the Demon King Ye Qiu and create a perfect future for themselves!
"What? The Demon King has no qi?"
"That punch used an artifact?"
"Yes, I sensed it, Ye Qiu truly has no qi, he actually is a cripple!"
In an instant, other Blood Cross elites around also became ecstatic!
The previous fear vanished completely, with a gleam in each eye!
The Demon King has become a cripple, so what's there to fear?
The moment for meritorious deeds has come!
"Kill!"
"Kill the Demon King!"
In an instant, the Blood Cross elite members, who had been continuously retreating, regained overwhelming confidence, and charged aggressively towards Ye Qiu.
