Chapter 1059 - Forbidden Area of the Death God

Green Rock became silent.

He could no longer look at Ye Qingyu the same way.

Though it was still the same person, the feeling and place in his heart had completely changed.

The white-robed figure sitting behind the table was calm and composed, giving him the feeling that it was a lofty, domineering person rather than the human descendant he thought he could bully. If it was not for the fact that he knew for certain the origin and progression path of this young man, he would surely have thought that sitting there was an old human weirdo covered in the skin of a young man.

“Talents are born in every generation… So sorry to disturb you.”

Sighing silently, he cupped his hands before turning to leave.

This scene nearly caused the [Demon Sage] Purple Night’s eyeballs to pop out.

Did… Lord Green Rock just mean to... admit defeat?

He felt that his world view had been flipped upside down.

Conversely, the Great Dragon Turtle Demon and the others were so excited that they nearly burst into cheers.

He won?

He has actually won.

Once again… he has made the impossible possible, no?

Although they did not understand what exactly just happened, they knew without a doubt that the Fifth Deputy of the Demon Race headquarters was wounded. At this moment, the Great Dragon Turtle Demon and the imperial officials of the Heaven Wasteland Building felt as though a five thousand kilogram rock had been lifted off their hearts and they thus could not help heaving a sigh of relief.

Only Lu Wei smirked sneeringly.

This opportunistic rat had talked big when he arrived, and, now that he has been found out, is thinking about leaving just by offering a soft apology? How can things ever be so easy? Does he really think he can get away with provoking the dignity of such a supreme expert as Ye Qingyu, who is already one of the top beings of this world?

That’s too simplistic of him.

He quietly awaited the sequel.

Indeed, Ye Qingyu began to speak again, “Lord Green Rock, although this Heaven Wasteland Building of mine may be shabby and nowhere near as majestic as the divine temples of the Alliance of Domains, it’s nevertheless not a place in which anyone can cause trouble in at will. It’s a little too naive to think you can walk away just like that having entered.”

Green Rock’s figure stiffened.

After turning to face Ye Qingyu, he said in a low voice, with his sharp brows seeming as though they were about to shoot forth, “What do you want?”

“I shan’t kill you today, but you have to leave something behind before you go.” Ye Qingyu smiled faintly at him.

“Don’t push me too far, Deputy Ye Qingyu.” Green Rock inhaled a deep breath. “My backing down is merely an admission that I’d underestimated you. I may be weaker than you, but only by a little. I’m leaving not because I’m afraid of you but because I cannot complete my mission this time and see no point remaining here. It won’t be so easy for you to kill me even if you wanted. It’s okay for a young man like you to be proud of your strength, but if you really let it get to your head, you’ll sooner or later bring death upon yourself.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingyu guffawed.

“It appears that you still don’t understand the situation.”

As he spoke, he stood up with an invisible vigor wreathing around him.

Tiny bits of snowflakes instantly formed and fluttered out of his body before drifting out of the Heaven Wasteland Building and into the surrounding darkness. The area within a kilometer of the Heaven Wasteland Building was soon covered in these snowflakes.

Subsequently, cries and grunts were heard from within the darkness.

An extremely terrifying aura began to spread.

Feeling uncertain, the [Demon Sage] Purple Night looked outside rather vacantly.

The incessant cries and grunts from within the darkness suggested that something extremely frightening had happened.

“You… how’s that possible!”

Green Rock’s countenance changed dramatically.

Only he was able to discern the horror of the snowflakes.

In actual fact, they were not snowflakes but beams of sword splendor which were formed from sword will.

Given his martial cultivation and experience, he had seen countless frightening sword techniques and mysterious, weird sword wills during his time. However, he had never seen a human who could condense sword will to this extent and blend it into snowflakes so naturally that they seemed like nature’s creation, and without producing a single trace of smoke, fire, or aura. Moreover, the trajectory of the sword will was completely untraceable as well, and there was not a hint of murderous spirit when the sword was struck out. By the time the snowflakes got close to one’s body, death had already befallen.

It was at this moment that he realized he was wrong.

And absurdly wrong to boot.

Even without looking out, he could imagine what had happened in the darkness surrounding the Heaven Wasteland Building – the nearest foreign race experts, who had been waiting for him to kill Ye Qingyu before they snuck into the Heaven Wasteland Building and conducted a robbery during the ensuring disorder, had not anticipated the turn of events and, before they could respond, were struck on their faces by suddenly-onrushing snowflakes. All they felt was an abrupt chill before they lost all consciousness.

In only a thought’s time, a psychically-formed sword had turned into snowflakes and performed killings in the silence.

This method seems Immortal-level.

Ye Qingyu is way more powerful than estimated by headquarters.

He could clearly sense that the area within a kilometer of the Heaven Wasteland Building had become devoid of all life aura in less than three breaths’ time. No matter how terrifyingly powerful those experts hiding in the dark were, they were completely unable to put up resistance. Some were killed while others were injured, albeit all those who survived did so only because Ye Qingyu had shown them mercy. Nevertheless, they were scared out of their wits and fled as fast as they possibly could.

This area was akin to the forbidden area of the death god.

Meanwhile, snowflakes were fluttering around Green Rock.

Sparkling radiantly, they smacked of white elves in a dark night. Their gentle fluttering formed a beautiful picture which was so enchanting and intoxicating that it rendered one unable to refrain from drawing close.

However, Green Rock was under no illusions that if he put up any form of resistance, these devastatingly beautiful snowflakes would instantly turn into the world’s most terrifying sword light and cause him to completely vanish from the face of this world like those experts in the darkness outside. As confident as he was in himself, he had no confidence of shaking off these snowflakes.

“It isn’t impossible. It’s just that you all have been living in a well for too long.”

Ye Qingyu spoke plainly.

Green Rock had no way of retorting.

After straightening a finger into a sword, he gently sliced it across and cut off one of his arms amid a glistening splendor.

“Are you satisfied now, Deputy Ye Qingyu?” He placed the arm on the table in front of Ye Qingyu and said plainly.

The latter nodded.

“That’ll do.”

Green Rock immediately turned and left upon hearing this.

He did not wish to stay a second longer.

Ye Qingyu’s voice suddenly rang out behind him.

“Lord Green Rock, this matter won’t end so easily – of course, I believe that the bigwigs of your headquarters also think the same way. For tonight, however, I’ve shown as much patience as I can. If any other cursed thing comes and causes trouble, don’t blame me for not showing mercy. And if you’re still unwilling to admit defeat, I shall personally seek advice from the main envoy of the Demon Race in the divine temple of the Alliance of Domains tomorrow. Please help me to send word.”

Green Rock nodded without pausing his footsteps.

His figure disappeared into the darkness outside.

The [Demon Sage] Purple Night remained standing vacantly in the main hall.

The Great Dragon Turtle Demon and the others were equally vacant in mind, albeit out of delight.

Although they had complete trust in Ye Qingyu’s strength and could vaguely feel that it had increased even further since his return, they never expected that he would become this strong. As an old-timer from the Demon Race headquarters, Green Rock had awed Heaven Connect City and never been defeated over the past three hundred years. And yet, he was completely unable to strike out and quickly lost battle courage while facing Ye Qingyu, eventually deciding to chop off an arm and leave forlornly.

Compared to the otherworldly elegance he displayed when he appeared, he was like an orphan abandoned by the entire world when he departed.

While watching Green Rock chop off his arm and depart, what the Great Dragon Turtle Demon and the others did not know was that the foreign race experts hiding in the darkness outside the Heaven Wasteland Building had already been silently taken care of by Ye Qingyu, with many of them losing their nerve because of the fluttering white snowflakes. To these experts, the Heaven Wasteland Building was presently frightening enough to be considered as a forbidden area.

Lu Wei sat on the stairs, his eyes no longer expressing contempt.

“He has grown even stronger...” he said to himself in surprise.

He had seen Ye Qingyu’s sword technique in action on the Capital Sky Peak. At that time, Ye Qingyu was not yet able to blend his sword will so naturally. When he exerted a sword strike, it was in the form of a sword, and even if he turned the sword into snowflakes, there would be traces which allowed one to sense the presence of a sword amid the snowflakes. Instead, the sword will displayed by Ye Qingyu a while ago was completely silent and soft, and was many times improved from that displayed on Capital Sky Peak.

It had only been a couple of months.

As much as he considered himself to be an exceptional being, Lu Wei was astonished by the speed of Ye Qingyu’s growth in cultivation.

“What?”

Ou Wuji stood up, looking astonished.

He was a little afraid to confirm what he had heard.

“Say it again,” he subconsciously requested.

The White-robed Divine Guard standing in front, who had just returned from the area around the Heaven Wasteland Building and was still feeling astonished too, had no choice but to reply, “My lord, I saw very clearly that Green Rock lost. He left the Heaven Wasteland Building with an arm less and looking dejected. Many of the foreign race experts who were hiding around the Heaven Wasteland Building have been killed in a moment of fluttering snowflakes. Nobody dares to go close to the Heaven Wasteland Building anymore.”

How did things turn out like that?

Ou Wuji felt a chill in his heart.

Did Ye Qingyu actually defeat Green Rock?

What exactly happened?

Could there be someone powerful backing Ye Qingyu?

Or does he possess some secret weapon which is powerful enough to defeat a pinnacle Great Saint?

As he thought about this, he began to feel a little uneasy.

Being of pinnacle Great Saint cultivation himself, the fact that Ye Qingyu could defeat Green Rock meant that Ye Qingyu could defeat him as well. As such, not only was the greatest source of pride and dependence in his heart gone, but following Ye Qingyu’s victory over Green Rock, the matter seemed to be gradually spiraling out of control.

“My lord, this is a good thing for us.”

To one side, Wei Wubing suddenly began to laugh.
