Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Breaking Free! (Third Update) Whoosh whoosh whoosh… The two of them simultaneously charged toward a group of magic frogs, each unleashing fire dragons to scorch the magic frogs. The Demon Lord’s mastery of the rule power of fire was absolutely flawless, reaching its peak. With a single move, he summoned five fire dragons, trampling with their claws and opening their mouths wide. Wherever they went, magic frogs perished completely, their killing power extremely terrifying. This scene made those following behind the five Saint Heirs stop in shock, feeling utterly amazed. “Is this the power of the Demon Lord Holy Son? No wonder he is ranked as one of the second strongest Saint Heirs.” Someone exclaimed, especially those at the back among the many sealers, as the Demon Lord’s might made the magic frogs here start retreating, no longer fiercely attacking. Meanwhile, Lieyan Holy Son, Xiaoyao Holy Son, Jianying Holy Son, and others all showed heavy expressions. They now had a clearer understanding of the disparity in strength between themselves and the Demon Lord Holy Son. The Demon Lord Holy Son’s power was astonishing. With one strike, the number of dead magic frogs reached over a thousand, and in an instant, the front became completely empty. The Demon Lord Holy Son looked proudly at Ye Qiu. At this moment, the fire dragon released by Ye Qiu was not as fierce as the Demon Lord Holy Son’s, resembling a young dragon, occasionally spewing fire, killing fewer than a hundred magic frogs. “Truly, there’s no harm without comparison. Compared to the Demon Lord Holy Son, this native’s strength is too weak. In just a moment, the magic frogs in front of the Demon Lord Holy Son were slaughtered, while he’s still slow. It seems he’s bound to lose, daring to bet with the Demon Lord Holy Son is just asking for trouble.” “Really disappointing, I thought he would unleash his power. Wasn’t he quite formidable before? Why is he so weak now?” Facing the sneers of the Demon Lord and the ridicule from the sealers behind, Ye Qiu didn’t take it to heart. Naturally, he wouldn’t use his full strength against the magic frogs, only killing a few symbolically for show. No one noticed that while Ye Qiu was slowly fighting the magic frogs, he was also gradually moving in a certain direction. “I look forward to seeing you kneel.” The Demon Lord Holy Son said unabashedly, while glancing at the Turquoise Pool, as if to say, the guy you once valued, is just so-so. Turquoise Pool smiled, her gaze falling on Ye Qiu’s back, feeling that something was different about Ye Qiu today. Logically, Ye Qiu’s strength shouldn’t be this weak. Could it be that from his battle with Posa Sect’s successor, his depleted power hasn’t recovered? It shouldn’t be, he didn’t see any weakness after his fight with Luo Tian Holy Heir. “Where is the oddity?” The Saint Maiden of the Turquoise Pool frowned as she stared at Ye Qiu’s back. No magic frog dared to step forward in front of the Demon Lord Holy Son, creating a spacious area. For this, the Demon Lord Holy Son directly crossed a large distance and continued attacking with his five fire dragons, killing the magic frogs surrounding Ye Qiu. “You’re too slow in killing, let me help you.” The Demon Lord Holy Son was indirectly mocking Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu didn’t care, continuing leisurely, getting closer to the position he wanted to reach. After the Demon Lord Holy Son helped Ye Qiu kill most of the magic frogs, he left Ye Qiu with some to kill slowly. And the Demon Lord burst into laughter, continuing to fly ahead, killing more magic frogs further up. With the death of the last few magic frogs, Ye Qiu finally reached a spot under a tree, taking a deep breath, and immediately executing a formation tactic. Instantaneously, several seals danced in the air, rapidly merging into the mist. Seeing this, Elder Mu’s face suddenly changed, “Not good.” “Little thief, you want to escape?” Elder Mu roared, while the other Saint Heirs hadn’t reacted yet. They were still puzzled as to why Ye Qiu stopped quickly killing magic frogs and formed strange seals. Until Elder Mu suddenly shouted, they only then realized that Ye Qiu intended to escape? But with Elder Mu here, how could he escape? “You can’t escape.” Taiyi Holy Son didn’t care. Without his intervention, as long as Elder Mu was here, a mere native couldn’t escape. However, with the sudden drastic change in surroundings, Taiyi Holy Son’s judgment was quickly overturned. Elder Mu charged to Ye Qiu’s front, and as his large hand was about to grab Ye Qiu by the neck. Ye Qiu was still smiling, sneering at Elder Mu, while cursing: “Old thing, I’ve tolerated you long enough. Dream on if you think you can catch me.” Elder Mu’s actions, the surprise of Taiyi Holy Son, Donghua Holy Son, and others, suddenly caused the Demon Lord Holy Son to retreat from the frontlines of killing magic frogs. “This guy actually planned to escape.” The Demon Lord said angrily. “Want me to be a prisoner? Sorry, I don’t have that awareness. I must thank you for giving me the chance to escape.” “Demon Lord Holy Son, surprised or not, unexpected, isn’t it!” Ye Qiu laughed, while Elder Mu’s hand had already grabbed Ye Qiu’s neck, and with a forceful tug, tried to pull Ye Qiu out. However, a sudden mist enveloped in front of Elder Mu, and as he pulled, his hand held no shadow of Ye Qiu at all, unknowingly devoid of anything. It turned out he grasped at nothing! “So, that was his plan.” The Turquoise Pool Saint Maiden murmured, only now understanding why Ye Qiu wasn’t as strong as before. He had been bluffing all along, planning to flee. “In front of us five top Saint Heirs and a Protector present, you were still able to escape, Ye Qiu, I understand you less and less.” The Turquoise Pool Saint Maiden sighed. For original chapters go to NovєlFіre.net The thick fog suddenly expanded, reaching a point where one couldn’t see their hand in front of them. Elder Mu failed to find Ye Qiu’s figure and had to retreat angrily. A native escaped right before his eyes, much to Elder Mu’s surprise. “Young master, he got away.” Elder Mu apologized. Taiyi Holy Son waved his hand dismissively: “This native understands formations, which we didn’t expect. He is probably very familiar with this place, misleading us all.” “I will capture him again,” Elder Mu stated. Taiyi Holy Son smiled: “He won’t leave. Since he set up a formation here, he must covet something on Taishan. He will definitely show himself or engage again. Let’s just wait for him to appear.” Ye Qiu vanished into the mist, leaving all the sealers and Saint Heirs behind him dumbstruck. Ye Qiu had escaped right in front of everyone. The Japanese Samurai intending to laugh now found themselves unable to, even Lieyan Holy Son showing a serious expression, realizing they had misjudged a person for the first time. At that moment, Ye Qiu was panting heavily, feeling it was a close call. He almost got caught by Elder Mu again, making any further escape nearly impossible. Fortunately, he succeeded. Ye Qiu took a deep breath. “If I hadn’t set up many formations in this Mist Array beforehand, this time, I might have really been done for.” Ye Qiu murmured, who would have thought this Mist Array had long become his backyard, an early hidden move for the Saint Heirs, unexpectedly saving himself. Thankfully, Elder Mu and the others entered the Mist Array. Otherwise, anywhere else, he wouldn’t have been able to escape from them, only here, with the help of prepared formations, was he able to get free. This was indeed both luck and destiny! After calming down, Ye Qiu slowly stood up, looking at the mist in front of him, and said lightly: “Who should I strike at first?” He was ready to counterattack.
