Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: Targeted! (Second Update) The Skeleton Warrior suddenly leaped up, reaching several meters in height. Ye Qiu commanded it to perform various actions, and the Skeleton Warrior followed Ye Qiu’s instructions to the letter. An incredibly obedient skeleton; Ye Qiu wasn’t sure if this was a coincidence or something else. Suddenly, he sensed a familiar aura approaching, and his eyes sharply searched into the distance. In the distance, a figure was approaching. Ye Qiu saw clearly; the old man was the same one who previously didn’t want to be entangled with him. Why had he returned? However, this time, the aura the old man exuded was vastly different, with a sense of oppressiveness. “Young man, we meet again.” The old man walked up to Ye Qiu, his eyes quickly sweeping over the Skeleton Warrior, and then, without a trace, returning his gaze to Ye Qiu, with a hint of a sneer on his face as he spoke. “Why have you returned?” Ye Qiu asked, puzzled. The old man chuckled lightly, his eyes suddenly brightening with an astonishing gleam as he stared at Ye Qiu, “I’ve come back to retrieve something.” Ye Qiu was intrigued, not knowing what the old man wanted to retrieve. “Could the thing you want have something to do with me?” “Exactly, you’ve guessed correctly.” The old man stroked his remaining bit of beard and then declared, “Hand over the Death Horn.” Ye Qiu didn’t know what the old man was talking about and replied, “Sorry, I don’t have any Death Horn on me, you might be disappointed.” “Young man, it seems you choose to ignore a toast and favor punishment.” The old man’s gaze turned cold, “For the sake of this Death Horn, I’ve waited here for a thousand years. On this entire planet, besides you and me, there’s no third person, and you tell me you don’t have it?” “Do you think I would believe that?” Ye Qiu’s expression froze. He suddenly thought of the mysterious horn in the wooden box. Could that be the Death Horn the old man wanted? “So that’s it.” Ye Qiu, after a brief moment of consideration, immediately understood why the old man had returned. He had come for the horn. He must have heard the sound when Ye Qiu blew the horn in the wooden box earlier. As for why it’s called the Death Horn, Ye Qiu glanced at the Skeleton Warrior. He suddenly understood. Previously, he was puzzled why this terrifying skeleton didn’t attack him but followed his commands obediently. It was all because of the Death Horn. “I knew it, that dry corpse was clearly a powerful being. How could something it carried in death be ordinary?” Ye Qiu finally understood the mysterious horn’s identity. It was called the Death Horn, seemingly a treasure capable of controlling skeleton undead. This kind of miraculous treasure was something Ye Qiu had never seen before, but now was not the time for excitement. The old man in front of him was formidable, far beyond his own strength, and if he intended to seize the Death Horn, Ye Qiu feared it would be difficult to keep it. “It seems you understand what I’m talking about.” The old man noticed a fleeting excitement in Ye Qiu’s expression and guessed Ye Qiu’s thoughts. The old man’s eyes flashed with a sense of astonishment as he continued, “Qiankun Bag?” “You, a small fry in the Human King Realm, actually possess such an extravagant storage treasure as the Qiankun Bag. Tsk, tsk… I bet it’s filled with many good things inside, and since you can own a Qiankun Bag, I’m really curious to see what other treasures you have.” The old man’s gaze lingered greedily on the Qiankun Bag at Ye Qiu’s waist. This type of storage treasure was typically possessed only by highly skilled practitioners, and even the saint heirs of great sects might not own such storage treasures. A Qiankun Bag, a treasure to store objects, was reason enough for him to want to kill Ye Qiu. If he hadn’t noticed it on his return, such a treasure could have just slipped away from under his nose. This person actually recognized the Qiankun Bag? Besides Qin Feng, this old fellow was probably the second person to call out the name of the Qiankun Bag. This old guy was most likely another extraterrestrial strongman. Now that both the Qiankun Bag and the Death Horn were targeted by the other party, Ye Qiu knew a mortal combat was inevitable. He wasn’t sure if his darkest side, when fully unleashed, could be a match for this guy. Ye Qiu felt uncertain. The old man’s strength was beyond comprehension, and from their previous encounter, it was clear that he was no weaker than Ji Batian. Back when he fought Ji Batian to the death, he used all his trump cards but couldn’t bring him down. Now, faced with this person, his odds seemed grim. Ye Qiu’s expression turned serious. It was obvious the old man wouldn’t be as lenient this time; this would be a life-and-death confrontation. The primary concern was no longer whether he could get back to Earth, but whether he could survive. To survive this encounter with the old man, he had to defeat him. “Hand over the Qiankun Bag and the Death Horn, and I can spare your life,” the old man said. Ye Qiu’s face lit up with a smile, looking somewhat cold, and he replied slowly, “If I asked you to hand over your treasures to me, would you be willing?” The old man’s eyes glittered with murderous intent, “In that case, I’ll just have to kill you.” The area the old man stood in suddenly erupted in dust. Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed. Last time, he suffered due to the old man’s speed and was quickly captured. This time, Ye Qiu utilized the power of his clairvoyance to capture the old man’s moves and counterattack. Ye Qiu directly unleashed the King Yan’s Wrath. The location the old man’s hand reached for had lost its target, while Ye Qiu’s calm voice echoed, “Old man, I, Ye Qiu, never fall in the same place twice. Do you think you can catch me quickly again?” He finished speaking and laughed heartily. The old man’s fists cracked ominously, while Ye Qiu’s voice resounded, “I wonder if you fancy the King Yan’s Wrath; I can offer it to you for free.” Ye Qiu’s final words fell, and an explosion occurred in front of the old man. As the three-color King Yan’s Wrath erupted, huge energy waves quickly dispersed. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the smoke. The old man appeared unharmed, but his face was filled with malice at this point. Although the King Yan’s Wrath didn’t injure him, it did cause damage to his clothes, and he had underestimated the power of a human king realm martial artist to this extent. Killing intent surged violently from the old man, transforming into a terrifying storm enveloping the surrounding hundred miles. His gaze shifted, his eyes piercing through everything, and located Ye Qiu’s figure, immediately charging towards him. This old geezer was too ferocious. Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, looking at the Skeleton Warrior, he gave a direct command, “Attack him!” Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s order, the Skeleton Warrior did indeed move, blocking the old man’s path. The Skeleton Warrior swung its hand, its white claws tearing through the void. This kind of power surprised Ye Qiu. He hadn’t expected such a skeletal frame to possess this kind of might. The old man merely snorted before grabbing the Skeleton Warrior’s body, twisting until it broke! Ye Qiu didn’t expect the skeleton to be so easily defeated, and he immediately turned, running without looking back. “An old geezer, so close to death, yet this vicious,” Ye Qiu cursed. However, his feet didn’t slow. Before leaving, he commanded the skeleton to tightly entangle the opponent. As Ye Qiu fled wildly, he looked back to see the now split-in-two skeleton still fighting for him. “My first Skeleton Warrior, gone just like that. Old man, just wait, I will retaliate.” Ye Qiu clenched his fists. When the skeleton was completely shattered by the old man, he found Ye Qiu had long since disappeared without a trace. Stomping on a skeleton hand still trying to grab his shoe, crushing it into pieces, the old man said coldly, “You can’t escape. As long as you’re still on this planet, I will find you.”
