Chapter 1316: Chapter 1316: The Opportunity Arrives! (Second Update) Ye Qiu followed the five Saint Heirs into the Mist Array. Ye Qiu was very familiar with the Mist Array because he had already figured it out long ago. But now, he was a prisoner, threatened by Elder Muzun, and naturally wouldn’t tell them how to quickly pass through the Mist Array. So he let the few of them engage with the magic frogs. There was no denying that once the five Saint Heirs took action, it was indeed extraordinarily sharp. Any magic frog that leaped over was uniformly eliminated in one strike, leaving not even bones behind. Within the Mist Array, smoke curled around, a vast expanse of white everywhere, making it impossible to see where the end was. However, this did not affect their speed in the slightest. With the Saint Heirs leading the way, they seldom paused underfoot. “These magic frogs might be able to block those native residents, but stopping us is far off.” The Demon Lord Holy Son said casually, his hand conjuring a dragon of fire that soared through the air, directly incinerating a group of magic frogs, the power terrifying. Similarly, the Donghua Holy Son used a cultivation technique of an intense nature, directly employing a move like Kuafu Chasing the Sun to slay a group of magic frogs. The power of the Hongyuan Holy Son was somewhat lacking, but his methods were very straightforward, using nothing but his fists and feet. Any magic frog that pounced was exploded with a single punch. The force of these fists and feet left Ye Qiu thoroughly impressed, fearing that the flesh of the Hongyuan Holy Son was no less formidable than his own in strength. The only one who scarcely took action was the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden, perhaps because of a woman’s nature; there is an inherent fear and disgust for filthy and disgusting creatures like magic frogs in women. This was no exception for the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden, even though her strength was formidable, she still didn’t want to face the magic frogs, mostly standing behind the other Saint Heirs. Ye Qiu followed Elder Muzun earnestly, without taking any other action, only secretly observing these five chosen ones. The Demon Lord Holy Son, Donghua Holy Son, and Hongyuan Holy Son, Ye Qiu thought that if he were to unleash his full power, he could possibly battle any of them. However, the strength of the Taiyi Holy Son left him somewhat uncertain. Since entering the Mist Array, Ye Qiu had not seen the Taiyi Holy Son take action, make any move, yet any magic frog attacking him would explode on its own, as if a giant invisible hand was moving for the Taiyi Holy Son. Could it be spiritual power? This Mist Array can block spiritual power, even though he was very close to several Saint Heirs, he still couldn’t use spiritual power to probe. Ye Qiu felt that the spiritual power of the Taiyi Holy Son was probably not simple, otherwise, those magic frogs wouldn’t have died suddenly for no reason. “You native, why don’t you help relieve the young master’s pressure?” Elder Muzun saw Ye Qiu constantly glancing around, leisurely staying at the back, and couldn’t help but speak. Official source is NoveI[F]ire.net When Elder Muzun spoke, Ye Qiu cursed silently in his heart, but showed no dissatisfaction on his face, as one had to respect the strong. Ye Qiu could only come to the side of the four Saint Heirs and join the fray. “Hmph, how many can you natives kill?” The Demon Lord was the first to express disdain. From the first glance, he had taken a dislike to Ye Qiu, perhaps because of the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden meeting Ye Qiu alone or perhaps from a deep-seated discontent with all natives of this decaying star. “You’re so great, why haven’t you killed all the magic frogs!” Ye Qiu replied directly, almost causing the Demon Lord to miss a strike. Ye Qiu’s words were simple and blunt, causing the other Saint Heirs to look over involuntarily. The Demon Lord Holy Son felt provoked, especially since Ye Qiu rebutted him in front of the others, making the Demon Lord very angry. “Alright, alright, Taiyi, how about leaving this guy to me?” The Demon Lord first looked at the Taiyi Holy Son. “As long as you don’t kill him, anything else is up to you.” The Taiyi Holy Son said lightly. He had Elder Muzun capture Ye Qiu simply to obtain the supreme treasure; otherwise, he wouldn’t have concerned himself with an Earthling native. “Thank you.” The Demon Lord Holy Son cupped his fist. Ye Qiu was somewhat dissatisfied with the Taiyi Holy Son’s attitude, thinking that even though he was a prisoner, it was too quick to sell him out. He thought to himself that he would capture both the Taiyi Holy Son and Demon Lord Holy Son in the future to expand his Saint Heir sparring group. Of course, if it weren’t for Elder Muzun being here, he would have escaped long ago. Even if they were five powerful Saint Heirs, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be their prisoner. Now, the Demon Lord Holy Son approached and said faintly, “Kid, since you disagree, how about a competition to see who can kill more magic frogs? If you lose, you’ll kneel before me, okay?” “And if you lose, will you kneel to me?” Ye Qiu sneered. Aside from Elder Muzun, he really had no fear of anyone else. “Hehe…” The Demon Lord Holy Son didn’t believe he would lose, and readily replied, “Alright, whoever loses will kneel before the other.” The Demon Lord Holy Son and Ye Qiu stood at the forefront, while the Taiyi Holy Son, Donghua Holy Son, and others moved to the back. After all, they had just entered Taishan, and were not in a hurry; they let this competition unfold at will. “Haha, didn’t expect this guy to have his day.” Following the Taiyi Holy Son were other strong contenders, positioned among the last five Saint Heirs, such as the Lieyan Holy Son and Qing Wu Holy Son. Among them, the Japanese samurai sought favor with the Lieyan Holy Son, constantly breaking ground for him, akin to a vanguard. Now that these Japanese samurai saw Ye Qiu had become someone else’s prisoner, they felt secretly appeased, not expecting him to have such a day. This man, who once overpowered the entire Japanese martial arts community, had moments when he couldn’t rival others. So many Japanese samurai witnessing this scene quietly felt gratified. “He might reign over this decaying planet, but he’s not worth mentioning before those Saint Heirs.” The Lieyan Holy Son stated. “The master said it right. Even if those Saint Heirs didn’t want to act, you alone, master, could crush this guy.” A Japanese samurai flattered. “Haha, you native really have a way with words.” The Lieyan Holy Son enjoyed the compliment. Seeing the effective flattery, the Japanese samurai continued, “Master, if you’re competing with those few strong, for the supreme treasure, it’ll surely be quite difficult. I have a suggestion, but I’m not sure whether to say it.” “Oh? What suggestion? Go ahead!” The Lieyan Holy Son replied with interest. “Master, as the saying goes, strength comes in numbers. They’ve all formed teams, and we’re fighting solo, making it very hard to reach the end. Why don’t we also form alliances, ascend to the peak together, and then rely on our skills for the supreme treasure, stronger than going it alone.” Lieyan Holy Son’s eyes twinkled: “Your suggestion is good; forming alliances is indeed a wise idea.” The Demon Lord Holy Son and Ye Qiu stood at the forefront, preparing to engage in a competition to slay magic frogs. The other Saint Heirs stood back like spectators, quietly enjoying the scene. Ye Qiu glanced at the Taiyi Holy Son and others, as well as the Elder Muzun he most dreaded, a gleam flashing in his eyes. He would make the few regret it because next, he was going to give these Saint Heirs a big surprise and an unforgettable experience! Unconsciously, a fascinating curve emerged on the corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth.
