163: Chapter 163 One Against Four, Slaying the Demon King; Rifting Sky Retreats, Black Wind Rescues Him

Those four Mid-Nascent Soul Stage Yao Kings, seeing Ye Qing moving through the army as if it were empty and slaughtering their kin, were already so furious that their eyes turned crimson and they were filled with rage.

Rushing forward together, they had resolved to risk their lives, swearing to tear this detestable Human Race Cultivator into pieces!

Charging at the very front was a Dragon Yao King covered in dark cyan scales, with a pair of forked, sharp horns on its head.

It opened its gaping maw and sprayed a jet of poison—black as ink and emitting a foul, fishy odor—that shot toward Ye Qing like a high-pressure water cannon!

Following closely behind was a massive, mountain-like black bear Yao King.

It stood on its hind legs, waving two paws as large as millstones with the momentum to crush mountains and shatter rocks, swatting down toward Ye Qing's head!

On the left, a snow-white Yao Fox King, shaped like a civet cat but with three tails, its eyes flashing with a cunning light, opened its mouth to release a pink ball of mist that emitted a sweet, cloying fragrance, drifting silently toward Ye Qing.

The mist clearly contained potent powers of enchantment and illusion.

To the right was a pitch-black Centipede Yao King, shaped like a centipede but possessing hundreds of pairs of sharp, sickle-like legs.

It twisted its body, and its countless pairs of sharp legs moved in unison, turning into streaks of black afterimages that slashed toward Ye Qing from the side like countless sharp sickles!

The four great Yao Kings launched their attacks simultaneously from four different directions!

Furthermore, each attack was incredibly insidious and well-coordinated, sealing off every path for Ye Qing to dodge!

"Bring it on!"

Facing the siege of these four Yao Kings, not only was there no trace of fear in Ye Qing's eyes, but an even more intense Battle Intent erupted from him!

After his Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he had been fretting about not having a decent opponent to test his strength!

These four Yao Kings were perfect for him to practice on!

He did not dodge or evade, and did not even use the hunyuan ruler; he simply raised his right hand slowly, fingers spread, and pressed down into the void toward the toxic, venomous spray from the Dragon that had struck first!

"sword, Suppress!"

A terrifying, invisible, and intangible force, which seemed capable of suppressing the very heavens and earth, suddenly descended!

That fierce, incoming jet of pitch-black venom, while still several zhang away from Ye Qing, seemed to strike an invisible, indestructible wall; it suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to advance even a fraction!

Immediately after, Ye Qing clenched his fist!

"Shatter!"

Bang!

The frozen jet of venom, as if detonated from within by an invisible force, exploded violently, turning into countless tiny black droplets that scattered in all directions!

The Dragon Yao King's mind was connected to the venom.

When the venom was destroyed, it let out a muffled groan, its face turned pale, and a flash of horror appeared in its eyes!

At that very moment, the black giant bear Yao King's massive palm, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, swatted down toward Ye Qing's head!

Ye Qing did not even turn around; he simply threw a backhanded punch, meeting it head-on!

Boom—!!!

A deafening roar exploded across the battlefield!

Ye Qing's seemingly slender fist collided violently with the bear's paw, which was as massive as a millstone!

A violent wave of Qi, centered on the two of them, swept madly in all directions, sending the surrounding Yao Race soldiers flying!

The black giant bear Yao King felt an indescribable, terrifying force surge from its paw and instantly course through its entire body!

Its massive body, as if struck by an invisible divine mountain, let out a painful roar and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed heavily onto the ground hundreds of zhang away, creating a massive crater.

It lay there, struggling for a long time, but was unable to stand up!

One punch! A single punch was all it took to blast a Mid-Nascent Soul Stage bear king, known for its strength, hundreds of zhang away, leaving it severely injured and unable to rise!

This scene terrified the remaining Yao Fox King and Centipede Yao King, causing their souls to fly away and spirits to scatter!

They had never expected that this Human Race Cultivator's strength would be so terrifying!

They wanted to retreat, but it was too late!

In the instant Ye Qing blasted the bear king away, his figure flickered, and like a ghost, he instantly appeared before the Yao Fox King!

The Yao Fox King felt its vision blur, and a cold face was suddenly right before it!

Terrified to the core, it shrieked and opened its mouth, intending to spray that pink, enchanting mist!

However, Ye Qing was faster!

He pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly tapped the center of the Yao Fox King's brow!

Puchi!

A soft sound rang out!

A needle-point-sized blood spot appeared on the center of the Yao Fox King's brow!

The expression on its face instantly froze, and the light in its eyes rapidly faded!

The Mid-Nascent Soul Stage Yao Fox King, without even being able to let out a scream, had its Divine Soul extinguished by Ye Qing's single finger!

An instant kill!

Another instant kill!

The remaining Centipede Yao King, seeing this scene, was terrified out of its wits.

How could it dare to fight any longer?

It let out a terrified hiss, twisted its body, and attempted to burrow into the ground to escape!

"Want to escape?"

Ye Qing's eyes turned cold.

As the Centipede Yao King's figure was about to burrow into the ground, he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion!

"Void Realm, Imprison!"

An invisible force of space instantly descended, firmly imprisoning the Centipede Yao King's body in place!

The Centipede Yao King struggled desperately, but like a bug trapped in amber, it could not move even a single leg!

Its hundreds of compound eyes were filled with boundless fear and despair!

Ye Qing did not even glance at it; he pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed through the air!

A condensed streak of Chaos Sword Qi flashed and vanished!

The Centipede Yao King's body, along with its hundreds of pairs of sharp legs, was sliced cleanly in two!

Dark green blood sprayed out wildly like a fountain!

The Mid-Nascent Soul Stage Centipede Yao King was dead!

From the moment the four great Yao Kings launched their joint siege to the three of them being killed one after another, and the only remaining bear king being left severely injured and unable to rise, only a short ten breaths of time had passed!

Fast!

Too fast!

It was so fast that no one had even managed to react!

On the battlefield, whether they were Yao Race or Human Race, everyone stared in dumbfounded silence at the figure in the void, who stood proudly holding a dark silver iron ruler.

For a moment, they even forgot to breathe!

Those were four Mid-Nascent Soul Stage Yao Kings!

Not four heads of cabbage!

And just like that... they were slaughtered as easily as chopping melons and vegetables?!

On the city wall, after a moment of silence, earth-shaking cheers suddenly erupted!

"Long live Senior Ye!"

"The Human Race will triumph!"

"Kill all these beasts!"

The morale of the Human Race Cultivators reached its peak at this moment!

Meanwhile, the Yao Race army plunged completely into panic and despair!

Even the four great Yao Kings had been slaughtered by the opponent as easily as killing chickens—wouldn't they, as mere foot soldiers, just be throwing their lives away if they went up?

Countless Yao Race soldiers began to abandon their weapons and turn to flee!

Their defeat was like a collapsing mountain!

Seeing this scene, Patrol Inspector Lietian was so furious that his entire body trembled!

He knew that the tide of today's battle had already turned!

With that mysterious Human Race Cultivator present, it was now impossible for him to capture Black Wind City!

Furthermore, if he delayed any longer, even he himself might fall into danger!

"Retreat!"

He gritted his teeth and spat the word out from between them!

Then, with a single strike of his blade, he forced back Daoist Master Xuantie.

Without looking back, he transformed into a streak of black light and fled desperately toward the west!

With the commander fleeing, the Yao Race army collapsed completely!

Countless Yao Race soldiers, wailing and abandoning their armor, fled toward the west like a receding tide!

The siege of Black Wind City was thus lifted!

Ye Qing stood in the void, watching the Yao Race army retreat like a tide, and slowly withdrew the hunyuan ruler.
