Chapter 446: 0447 Fleeing in Alarm

A streak of cold light grazed Ye Qiu’s chest, narrowly missing him, almost causing injury.

The swiftness of the blade was unexpected.

Ye Qiu took a step backward with his left foot, stabilizing himself. The clash between the two, quick as lightning, ended in an instant.

In the first exchange, Ye Qiu, unarmed, was slightly disadvantaged against the blade-skilled Night God, with a corner of his garment cut off.

The blade was so sharp that it could sever a strand of hair or slice through steel, especially the aura of the blade—fast, accurate, decisive.

Even Ye Qiu couldn’t help but be astonished by the opponent’s blade technique.

This was the fastest blade-wielder he had ever seen.

While Ye Qiu was surprised by his opponent’s skills, Night God also showed surprise; Ye Qiu was more agile than he had anticipated.

If it had been an ordinary martial artist, they would have been killed with the first slash, their body severed. Yet, Ye Qiu had parried seven blows without any injuries besides the torn clothing.

"An interesting opponent, you’ve piqued my interest and made this duel much more engaging," said Night God.

"Do you really think you can kill me with that level of strength? You’re underestimating me," Ye Qiu said coolly.

"That was just a probe. Seems you’re worth me using my real strength," Night God’s blade shimmered under the moonlight, brightly illuminating Ye Qiu’s face.

"I think your skills are not even on par with Fujikawa Ueno. If Sato Tsuru sent you to kill me, he’s likely to be disappointed."

"Arrogant. Killing you would take only half my strength," Night God said, slightly angered by Ye Qiu’s underestimation.

Night God was a renowned expert in Japan, his skills comparable to Fujikawa Ueno. Sato Tsuru wouldn’t have enlisted him if not for his formidable power, all to deal with the unyielding Ye Qiu.

Whoosh...

No longer verbally sparring, their auras peaked once again, and they resumed their combat.

The blade light engulfed the area, Night God’s blade cold as the moon in the sky, chilling and sharp as if capable of freezing three feet of ground with a single strike.

Ye Qiu slightly regretted not having the Kusanagi Sword on him; with it, he wouldn’t have to dodge so strenuously.

Night God’s attacks were fierce, each strike targeting Ye Qiu’s vital points. If not for Ye Qiu’s quick reactions, he might have been overwhelmed and bloodied on the spot.

Ye Qiu activated his Eagle Snake Xuan Hand, turning his fingertips into weapons that clashed with the icy blade, emitting a harsh clanging sound from the heat of battle.

"This blade, called the Scythe of the Death God, has claimed countless souls. You will be just like the rest, slain by my blade," Night God said confidently, sure he could defeat Ye Qiu despite his strength.

Clang!

As Night God’s blade sliced through the air like slicing water, it let out a sharp ring, tearing through the air. Following his movements, countless white blade marks appeared around him, ethereal yet forceful, each slash directed by Night God and aimed at Ye Qiu from the air.

"Death God’s Storm!"

Night God’s blade furiously moved, sending a rush of white blade aura towards Ye Qiu. Each blade aura, though intangible, was sharp enough to sever flesh.

The numerous blade marks surrounded Ye Qiu with fierce momentum. If they all hit, they would surely mince a whole person into a pulp.

Ye Qiu’s eyes sparkled like stars, instantly capturing every blade aura in his sight. With nowhere to hide, all the blade marks seemed destined to land on him.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu twisted his legs, and his body shot up like a cannonball soaring into the sky.

And the knife scars entwining his body closely chased up, and in the air, Ye Qiu’s hands transformed into a pair of iron claws, creating an astonishing scene.

In mid-air, his hands turned into iron claws and quickly grasped each stream of knife scar Qi, like fishes, held in Ye Qiu’s hands.

One, two, three, four...

In the blink of an eye, the Death God’s signature moves had been countered by Ye Qiu, and as he landed, there were no more streams of knife scar Qi around him.

Death God was shocked and dismayed, Ye Qiu had simply and brutishly broken through his attack, a too heart-stopping moment because, in Death God’s view, apart from legendary realm martial artists, no one else could have easily dismissed his attack.

However, Ye Qiu had done it.

Wasn’t it said that Ye Qiu’s strength was only at the True Qi realm, what was going on with the scene before him?

Before making his move, Death God had carefully checked Ye Qiu’s approximate strength, from his fight with Sato Ueno, to the martial arts tournament, even to the slaying of the mutant beastmen,

Death God thought that Ye Qiu was just a young one with decent strength, but just ’decent strength,’ not worthy of his serious attention.

After all, based on Death God’s judgment, whether it was Sato Ueno’s disgraceful return to the country or the slaying of an SSSA-grade mutant beastman, it might not truly be due to Ye Qiu’s actual strength, but because someone had helped Ye Qiu.

With this, before making his move, Death God had made ample preparations, checked the surrounding environment thoroughly, and found no traces of any experts.

However, the strength Ye Qiu just displayed, where was that of a True Qi realm expert? That was knife scar Qi, tougher than steel.

"What exactly is your strength?" Death God was flustered, although Death God’s Storm wasn’t his strongest move, it was not far off from his most formidable one.

If Ye Qiu could easily break his move, did it not mean that even if he used his last resort, he might not overcome Ye Qiu.

Death God did not want to risk it, he feared that at that moment, he might be brutally killed by Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu lowered his hands and saw a trace of fear in Death God’s eyes, it seemed that by directly breaking the opponent’s move, he had also shattered Death God’s confidence.

What he had just activated with the Eagle Snake Xuan Hand, was not the first move nor the second move Double Dance, but the third move derived from watching the Martial Tablet: Moon Plucking!

Moon Plucking!

In an attempt to pluck the moon from the sky, Ye Qiu named it based on the power of the third move, which required incredibly powerful hands to pluck the moon.

In the battle against Death God, he had perfectly demonstrated Moon Plucking’s power, its capability seemed to exceed the scope of the True Qi realm.

Death God’s feeling was correct, the strength Ye Qiu had just shown indeed transcended the True Qi realm, it was not truly legendary realm power, but half-step legendary realm strength.

Pseudo-legendary realm!

Death God did not know where Ye Qiu’s real strength lay, but at this moment, he did not want to verify it anymore, nor did he wish to continue the fight, because Ye Qiu’s strength had exceeded his expectations, even if he fought to death using his last move, it might not be effective.

Death God immediately turned around and ran away furiously.

Ye Qiu was somewhat astonished, he ran... The wildly arrogant Death God, who had just been eager to kill him, just ran away?

He was truly at a loss for words.

However, soon after, he revealed a smile, he did not pursue, but casually said, "Sato Tsuru, if you knew the person you sent was scared away by me, I wonder what you would think!"

Then, Ye Qiu’s gaze turned cold, Death God could run away but couldn’t escape forever. He had no interest in chasing Death God, finding Sato Tsuru was enough!
