Don't make a fool of yourself, you come over here too!

"Calm down? You want me to calm down?!"

However, upon hearing Lu Changhe's words, Sikong Hao appeared to be in a state of madness.

He pointed at the mist of blood and roared at Lu Changhe:

"That was my Disciple! My Personal Disciple!"

"Today, I will surely kill this bitch! Whoever dares to stop me shall die!"

He had only ever taken this one Disciple, viewing him as his successor.

He usually doted on him quite a bit.

Now, he couldn't just let him die for nothing!

Hearing this, Lu Changhe's brow furrowed tightly, and he was about to speak again.

Just then, a calm voice rang out indifferently.

"Oh? So you also know he was your Disciple?"

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw that Ye Qing had stepped forward at some point.

He was looking at Sikong Hao with a flat expression.

"You only realize now that he was your Disciple?"

"When he was jumping around here, clamoring and provoking my sect's Peak Revered Master, why did you play deaf and mute, not saying a single word?"

At this point, Ye Qing's gaze suddenly turned cold, and a chill permeated his voice.

"You pretended not to hear and kept quiet before, but now you know how to come out and bark?"

"Since you miss your Disciple so much, very well."

Ye Qing looked at Sikong Hao, standing with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "You come over and meet your death too. I can take action and send you down to accompany him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked!

This Young Sect Master of the Taiyi Sect spoke a bit too fiercely.

He was only at the Nascent Soul First Layer Realm.

He actually had such guts?

That Sikong Hao was at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer, and he was even the Dao Companion of a Deity Transformation True Lord!

This... Sikong Hao was shaking all over with rage, laughing out of sheer anger.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He pointed at Ye Qing, repeating the word "good" three times, his gaze fixed on Ye Qing as if he wanted to skin him alive and swallow him whole.

Sikong Hao was truly laughing from anger!

A mere junior at the Nascent Soul First Layer dared to speak to him like this!

Seeking death! He was truly seeking death!

"Your Disciple killed mine, and since you, the Revered Master, are so eager to jump out and seek death, I will fulfill your wish!"

Sikong Hao grinned hideously:

"I'll slaughter you first, then kill that bitch Disciple of yours to be buried with my pupil Chen Fan!"

Before his voice had even faded, thunderous light rose again in his palm. A thunder Spell even more violent than before instantly took shape and was about to be blasted toward Ye Qing!

"Young Sect Master, be careful!"

"Ye Qing, be careful!"

Seeing this, Lu Changhe and Liu Xundao's expressions changed simultaneously. Their hearts tightened, and they instinctively moved to intercept.

They naturally knew that Ye Qing's strength was that of a Prodigy.

He had once even slain the Poison Bone Hermit of the Nascent Soul Fifth Layer.

But the opponent was, after all, a long-renowned Nascent Soul Eighth Layer powerhouse, while Ye Qing had only just achieved a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul First Layer.

If they clashed head-on, he would likely suffer a great loss!

However, at the very moment they were about to move, an elegant and noble figure flashed like a ghost, blocking the two of them.

This person was none other than Murong Yan!

"Fellow Daoists, it's just a spar. It's better for us bystanders not to interfere."

Murong Yan smiled faintly, her words gentle.

But the terrifying pressure of a Deity Transformation True Lord radiating from her body was like an invisible mountain.

It firmly suppressed Lu Changhe and Liu Xundao in place, making them unable to move!

The two were extremely anxious, yet helpless.

Meanwhile, Murong Yan was satisfied to the extreme.

Good! Excellent!

This person named Ye Qing is truly a fool.

To actually jump out and seek death of his own accord!

As soon as he dies, Lin Xueer will completely lose her support, falling into despair, regret, and terror.

That will be the best time for me to take action and subdue her!

As for whether Sikong Hao would lose?

Heh!

Murong Yan sneered in her heart; she hadn't even considered such a thought.

A Nascent Soul Eighth Layer Cultivator with extraordinary talent losing to a green brat who just entered the Nascent Soul First Layer?

What a joke!

If this really happened...

...it would be the funniest joke in the world!

However, in the next moment, this funniest joke played out for real right before her eyes.

Facing Sikong Hao's powerful lightning Spell that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, Ye Qing's expression was flat, and his eyes showed no ripples.

He simply raised his hand slowly.

Spiritual light also flickered at his fingertips. An aqua-blue Spell was casually conjured by Ye Qing and thrown toward that violent lightning.

Boom!!!

Two Spells with completely different attributes collided violently in mid-air, instantly erupting with a deafening roar!

A violent shockwave of energy swept in all directions, making everyone's clothes flutter loudly.

Lightning and water light intertwined, the radiance blinding.

However, a bizarre scene occurred!

After the collision, Sikong Hao's violent lightning Spell actually became disordered instantly, like a punctured balloon.

It turned into countless tiny electric arcs scattering in all directions.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing's aqua-blue Spell did not dissipate.

Instead, like a living giant whale, it suddenly opened its mouth and actually swallowed and absorbed all of that scattered lightning energy!

Then, they merged into one!

In an instant, the aqua-blue Spell's light shone brilliantly, its power skyrocketing.

It transformed into a surging beam of light, a mix of blue and purple, with an even more terrifying and violent posture.

It blasted toward Sikong Hao!

"What?!"

Seeing this, Sikong Hao's face changed drastically. He was horrified, his eyes filled with confusion.

But he was, after all, a battle-hardened Nascent Soul Eighth Layer Cultivator.

At this moment, he couldn't afford to overthink and immediately raised his hand. A thick, earthy-yellow Spell barrier instantly condensed in front of him.

He was attempting to resist using the principle of the Five Elements' mutual restriction.

However, what happened next...

...almost completely overturned Sikong Hao's understanding!

He saw that the blue and purple beam of light, at the moment it was about to hit the earth wall...

...actually twisted with incredible agility, spontaneously manifesting a phantom that slammed heavily into the earth wall, causing a violent explosion.

While its true body...

...disappeared silently.

Then, when it reappeared, it descended from the sky with lightning speed.

It struck down fiercely upon the top of Sikong Hao's head!

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, Sikong Hao was struck as if by lightning. His whole body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

He looked at Ye Qing with an expression of disbelief, feeling as if he had seen a ghost.

The Spell... how could the Spell Ye Qing released be like it was being impersonated by a Cultivator? It could even deceive?

It could spontaneously react with such agility based on my response?

This... how is this possible? This didn't seem like a Spell at all! Instead, it was more like a living thing!

Furthermore, the power of this Spell... Sikong Hao's face turned ashen.

At this moment, an irresistible destructive force was rampaging wildly inside his body.

It was rapidly destroying his Meridians, annihilating his vitality, and even his Nascent Soul was cracking inch by inch under this power!

Sikong Hao could clearly sense his life force rapidly dissipating.

He... was about to die!

But... how could this be?

An attack casually released by a Nascent Soul First Layer Cultivator... instantly killed a powerhouse like him at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer?

"Your use of Spells is terrible."

Ye Qing's flat voice rang out at this time.

Sikong Hao struggled to open his eyes wide, looking at the young man in green robes with an indifferent expression, whom he hadn't cared about at all before.

This person, this person... "Did you see clearly?"

"This is the Dao of Spells."

Ye Qing spoke indifferently.

Did he see clearly?

Sikong Hao wheezed, a bitter smile that looked worse than crying appearing on his face.

He saw it; he saw it clearly!

He finally understood.

On the Dao of Spells, there might be a distant river separating him and Liu Xundao.

But compared to this young man before him... he couldn't even see the other side of the river; what lay between them was like a vast ocean!

The gap between them was like heaven and earth, like clouds and mud!

In the next moment, under the shocked gazes of everyone, Sikong Hao's body disintegrated inch by inch from head to toe, turning into ash.

Along with his Nascent Soul, he was annihilated.

One strike.

A Nascent Soul Eighth Layer Cultivator, once the second-ranked Prodigy of the Eastern Region, Sikong Hao, died and his Dao vanished!

Human Emperor Ji Yan and the others felt endless stormy waves surging in their hearts!

Before this, they had only viewed Ye Qing as a junior with extraordinary talent.

But now?

In their eyes as they looked at Ye Qing, there was already a hint of awe!

Killing the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer Sikong Hao in a single strike!

This level of strength, this mastery over Spells... even for these Old Cultivators who had been immersed in the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer for many years, a full-power strike would probably be no better than this!

Liu Xundao, who was suppressed by Murong Yan's pressure, had been extremely anxious, but now he was completely stunned.

He stared blankly at Ye Qing, his eyes filled with shock.

A thought was growing wildly in his mind.

Previously, he had thought about giving Ye Qing good guidance and teaching him all his insights into Spells.

But looking at it now... on the Dao of Spells, who... should really be teaching whom?

And Lu Changhe, after a brief moment of daze, felt an unparalleled surge of joy and excitement in his heart!

Good! Excellent! This is truly wonderful!

He was now incredibly grateful that he had appointed Ye Qing as the Young Sect Master of the Taiyi Sect!

In the future, with a Prodigy Sect Master like Ye Qing leading the Taiyi Sect, its future would surely be glorious!

However, after the joy, Lu Changhe suddenly realized a fatal problem.

Wait... this Sikong Hao, his Dao Companion was... a Deity Transformation True Lord!

Human Emperor and the others were still in shock.

Still marveling at what kind of incredible luck the Taiyi Sect had to give birth to such a peerless Prodigy whose talent in the Dao of Spells far exceeded that of Liu Xundao back then!

But soon, the Divine Artifact Sect Revered Master Mountain of Fire let out a sigh.

"What a pity, what a real pity..."

"As the saying goes, 'heaven is jealous of heroic genius.' Such a Prodigy likely... won't survive the day!"

Indeed!

Just as he finished speaking, a pressure a hundred times more terrifying than before erupted!

Rumble!!!

All the peaks of the Taiyi Sect were shaking violently under this terrifying Aura, as if they would collapse at any moment!

Murong Yan was enraged!

She had been focusing her attention on Liu Xundao, preventing him from using his Spells to repeat his old trick as he did when fighting Sikong Hao.

Suddenly appearing behind Sikong Hao to save him.

As for her husband Sikong Hao's side, she hadn't even spared a glance.

Because in her view, that was a battle that could never be lost.

But in just the blink of an eye... Sikong Hao was dead!

Killed in a single strike by that Nascent Soul First Layer ant in her eyes!

Murong Yan was stunned for a moment; she even suspected for a time whether she had fallen into an illusion.

Her husband, a Nascent Soul Eighth Layer powerhouse, surely couldn't be such trash, right?

However, in reality, it wasn't that Sikong Hao was trash, but that Ye Qing... was too much of a Prodigy!

A Prodigy to a degree that defied common sense!

Next, after a brief lapse of concentration, a tangible, cold killing intent erupted from Murong Yan's eyes!

She was beyond furious!

In such a small place, right in front of her, a tiny ant was allowed to kill her husband!

She didn't care about Chen Fan's death.

But nothing must happen to Sikong Hao!

"You—are—seeking—death!!!"

Murong Yan's voice was sharp, filled with resentment. Her beautiful face was twisted and hideous, her expression crazed.

In an instant, the terrifying Soul Transformation Aura turned into a visible storm, sweeping across the entire Xundao Peak in a flash!

Then, Murong Yan's eyes turned crimson. She stared at Ye Qing and said word by word, "Today, every single one of you present will die!"

"The entire Taiyi Sect, from top to bottom, shall be buried with my husband!!!"

Upon hearing this, Human Emperor Ji Yan and the others' expressions changed drastically, their hearts filled with bitterness.

Mountain of Fire, the Divine Artifact Sect Revered Master, couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! It shouldn't have been like this! This Young Sect Master Ye was still too impulsive, too reckless!"

Killing Sikong Hao was certainly a satisfying revenge.

But his Dao Companion is a living Deity Transformation True Lord!

Now, there's big trouble!

In the entire Eastern Region, who is a match for a Deity Transformation True Lord?

Lu Changhe's expression was also anxious as he stepped forward, wanting to say something to Murong Yan.

The Taiyi Sect could pay a price to appease Murong Yan's anger.

Even if it meant killing him, Lu Changhe, as long as Ye Qing was spared!

He had to protect Ye Qing!

However, before Lu Changhe could speak, Ye Qing looked at Murong Yan and smiled.

He spoke:

"Everyone must die?"

"Stop being a joke."

Ye Qing's tone was flat as he looked at Murong Yan and said indifferently:

"Soul Transformation, right? I can't be bothered to say much to you."

"You get over here too and meet your death!"

Hearing this, Lu Changhe was stunned, knowing that he didn't need to say anything more; there was no longer any point.

Prepare for battle.

He sighed softly in his heart.

With a thought, Lu Changhe sent a message to the Peak Revered Masters and Elders of the Taiyi Sect, ordering them to activate the sect's protective formation.

To face... a Deity Transformation True Lord!

Murong Yan ignored Lu Changhe's actions for now.

She also didn't care about the Peak Revered Masters and Elders who were already flying over; she was indifferent, for no matter how many ants there were, they were still just ants.

In fact, she was laughed to anger by Ye Qing's words.

For a moment, she almost forgot her rage, only feeling that things were speechlessly absurd to the extreme!

"Are you crazy?"

She truly felt that Ye Qing was insane.

A Nascent Soul First Layer ant telling her, a genuine Deity Transformation True Lord, to get over there and meet her death?

Who did he think he was?

Did he think that by killing Sikong Hao, he had become invincible in the Eastern Region?

One must know that between Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation lies a heavenly chasm, a leap in the level of life!

How could it be bridged by a mere bit of exquisite Spellwork?

Human Emperor Ji Yan, Divine Artifact Sect Revered Master Mountain of Fire, and the others also felt that Ye Qing had completely lost his mind.

Using the Nascent Soul Realm to berate a Soul Transformation and tell a Deity Transformation True Lord to get over and die?

What kind of arrogance was this? How ignorant of the heights of heaven and depths of the earth?

They only dared to have such thoughts in their dreams, boldly imagining it just to satisfy themselves.

But this Ye Qing actually said it directly in front of everyone!

That was a Soul Transformation! Not some random stray cat or dog on the street!

This boy is likely finished!
