Chapter 693: 0694 Hit as Usual! (Fourth Update)

In the ancient land, the turmoil regarding Tang Feng’s death gradually subsided, and the three ancient tribes’ search for Ye Qiu was fruitless.

Nearly a month had passed, and Ye Qiu had vanished as though into thin air; no one knew his whereabouts.

High up on a cliffside in the ancient land, a figure sat cross-legged, having withstood days of wind and rain.

This person was Ye Qiu.

His clothes were somewhat tattered, and his skin had darkened a shade deeper than bronze. At this moment, Ye Qiu appeared more profound than before, exuding a temperament that was three parts detached and ethereal.

Ye Qiu slowly stood up; with a casual raise of his hand, the stone wall behind him instantly frosted over. In the peak of summer, this chill brought a refreshing coolness to the air.

"Elder Tang Feng’s final strike, rather than harming me, unexpectedly bestowed upon me good fortune. I have gained enlightenment into the ice rule. Rule Power is indeed marvelous!" With the withdrawal of his arm, the frost on the rock face immediately disappeared, transforming into a white whirlwind that gathered in Ye Qiu’s palm and then slowly vanished.

During this period, Ye Qiu thoroughly consolidated his strength. Whether it was the Eagle-Snake Xuan Hand or the Flood Dragon Devil Fist, or even the intent behind Tai Chi, he revisited each of them in his mind. It was currently difficult to create the fifth form of the Eagle Snake Xuan Hand. However, having mastered Flood Dragon Emerges from the Cave with True Qi, Ye Qiu, now a legend, was already capable of practicing the second punch, Flood Dragon Ascending to the Heavens. Over these days, he had mastered the second form to perfection, its power more than ten times stronger than the first, still one of his trump cards.

As for the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique, Ye Qiu did not spend much time on it. This cultivation technique required the gathering of twelve Heavenly Steles, and only by finding the next stele could one possibly cultivate the second tribulation!

What surprised Ye Qiu most was his enlightenment into the ice rule. Rule Power is the hallmark of the Mythical Realm and can be considered the first step in glimpsing the Heavenly Dao.

Rules exist everywhere between heaven and earth, and to achieve the Mythical Realm, one must comprehend a rule thoroughly. The power of the Mythical Realm comes from being able to wield Rule Power. Once one reaches this realm, a casual strike contains the principle, inflicting deadly damage.

The Mythical Realm was still a distant goal for Ye Qiu, who had only just reached the Legendary Realm. But his sudden enlightenment into the ice rule had opened a new door for him, showing him a new world.

If Ye Qiu continued to deepen his understanding of the ice rule, as long as his cultivation reached the pinnacle of the Legendary Realm, breaking through to the Mythical Realm would be unobstructed.

Tang Feng’s strike of the ice rule, which seemed meant to bring Ye Qiu to his demise, now seemed undoubtedly a blessing in disguise, making Ye Qiu realize where the terror of the Mythical Realm truly lay.

With his current strength, being able to comprehend even a trace of the ice rule was exceedingly rare. Even the prodigies of the three ancient tribes were not known to achieve this at the early stages of the Legendary Realm.

The understanding of the ice rule acted as an enlightenment for Ye Qiu, laying a solid foundation for his future advancement to the Mythical Realm.

Even Ye Qiu had an idea; he wanted to apply the power of the ice rule to his domain.

The domain is a Martial Artist’s strongest method in the Legendary Realm. If Rule Power could be integrated into it, Ye Qiu speculated that he might be able to contend with the Mythical Realm.

Over these days, he had been refining the Tai Chi domain, continually improving it every day. By now, his Tai Chi domain had become increasingly perfected.

From rules to domain, this month had seen Ye Qiu’s strength more than double.

"It’s time to go out and see who else is searching for me in the ancient land..." Ye Qiu gazed at the landscape before him, the cliff face flat as a mirror, planted in the earth, with clouds and mist swirling before him.

Ye Qiu leaped off the cliff in a single bound, exploding beneath his feet as he stepped on the air, taking barely a dozen breaths to land on the ground.

"Eh, is that a wild man?"

No sooner had Ye Qiu touched down than a surprised voice came from not far away. Ye Qiu looked in that direction and saw several young Martial Artists hunting beasts in the forest, holding the animals they had killed.

"Interesting, why not hunt him instead? I’ve never tried hunting a wild man before." One of the youngsters licked his lips, cruelly suggested.

However, a girl nearby vigorously shook her head: "No, we’ve already hunted enough prey today; I don’t want to kill anyone."

Another girl nodded in agreement, chiming in, "Right, what if he’s a Hermit expert? That would be dangerous for us."

Another young man displayed a disdainful expression, "Does this guy look like an expert to you? His hair is a mess and his clothes are tattered. He probably consorts with wild beasts. Killing such a person wouldn’t matter; he’s not from an ancient clan. It would be fun to kill him."

The three young men agreed. In front of two beautiful ladies, they hadn’t yet shown their strongest side and wouldn’t be satisfied leaving this hunting ground just like that. Seeing Ye Qiu, they knew the opportunity to perform had arrived; they could mock Ye Qiu to display their power.

Before Ye Qiu could speak, he heard the three young men in front of him wanted to kill him; a cold smile appeared on his lips. These descendants of ancient clans were quite lordly, quick to kill.

Shoo!

Suddenly, an arrow shot forth, brushing past the air in a flash and targeting Ye Qiu’s legs.

Each of the three men shot an arrow, aiming at three different spots to prevent Ye Qiu from escaping.

They acted without hesitation.

Ye Qiu was furious yet his expression didn’t change. He suddenly dodged, moving towards the arrows, and with a sweep of his arm, he broke all three arrows.

The complexions of the three archers changed as Ye Qiu’s speed exceeded their expectations.

These three were merely at the True Qi level; even the strongest was only at the late stage of True Qi. Ye Qiu only needed to exert a fraction of his strength to easily thrash them.

Ye Qiu didn’t give them another chance to shoot. In the blink of an eye, he was before the three men, striking out three palms and instantly sending them flying over twenty meters away, crashing into the trees with a thunderous noise.

Puh-chi!

The three men vomited fresh blood, heavily injured by Ye Qiu’s attack. That was still with Ye Qiu holding back; otherwise, they would have been killed instantly.

At this, the two girls standing by were shocked. They hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be so strong. One of the girls had guessed right; Ye Qiu was as formidable as the Hermit he mentioned.

"You bastard, how dare you attack me? Do you know who I am!" shouted one of the young men as he suddenly charged forward.

The other two young men also stood up; Ye Qiu’s punch had only caused them minor injuries.

Ye Qiu didn’t even look before slapping the young man away, not caring who he was.

Ah!

Enraged, the young man attacked again. Ye Qiu snorted coldly, his slapping hand moving even faster. In a breath’s time, he had dealt over a hundred slaps, turning the arrogant young man’s face into a swollen mess.

The other two young men were dumbstruck. Who was this fierce man?

"I am a descendant of the Ji clan. You dare to slap me like this; I will definitely return it a hundredfold!" The young man was unyielding, threatening Ye Qiu even with a swollen face.

"Ji Clan..." Ye Qiu snorted coldly. He hadn’t even wanted to mention the Ji Clan, but now that it was mentioned, he twisted the young man’s arm, causing him to grimace in pain.

"You called me a savage earlier, right? You wanted to hunt me down for fun. I’m standing right here; why don’t you come and kill me!"

"You... I’m a descendant of the Ji clan. You dare injure me. When I return to the Ji clan, someone will surely come to kill you." The young man relied on his Ji clan status, still fearless and threatening Ye Qiu despite being beaten. No one in the ancient territory dared to disrespect the Ji clan.

"Noisy!" Ye Qiu delivered another slap, sending the young man flying, and muttered, "Even if Ji Lingchen himself came, I would beat him just the same!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining four people were all inwardly shocked.

The two women looked at Ye Qiu, a trace of admiration appearing in their eyes. Was this domineering man not even concerned about Ji Lingchen?
