Regarding Luo Fu’s fate, Elder Mu Zun avoided answering and directly attacked Ye Qiu. After all, Mu Zun was an elder-level powerhouse, not only allowing Ye Qiu to escape from him multiple times but also letting Luo Fu walk away leisurely. Mentioning Luo Fu was like tearing open Elder Mu Zun’s wounds, embarrassing him, so how could he inform Ye Qiu whether Luo Fu was dead or alive? "If you want to know, go to hell and ask." Elder Mu Zun’s attack came like a tempestuous storm, swift and fierce. Ye Qiu dodged repeatedly, barely escaping with only his skin grazed, causing blood to seep out. Receiving a hard blow directly, Ye Qiu was knocked back, his internal energy surging. Fortunately, Elder Mu Zun couldn’t use the power within his Dantian; otherwise, just this one strike would have severely injured Ye Qiu. Even without using Dantian energy, his blows were unpleasant, making Ye Qiu feel as if a giant iron hammer had fiercely struck his chest. Quickly stabilizing his turbulent energy, Ye Qiu looked calmly at Elder Mu Zun, who watched him coldly, his expression unchanged. "Hand over the remnants," demanded Elder Mu Zun. He wanted the golden fragment Ye Qiu had to complete the collection for the Tai Yi Saint Heir. "You want it?" Ye Qiu took out the golden fragment from his chest, deliberately shaking it in front of Elder Mu Zun. The fragment continued to emit golden radiance as if it could never be buried. Tai Yi Saint Heir’s eyes flickered, his fingers moving slightly; if Elder Mu Zun weren’t taking action for him, he would certainly seize it himself. "Even if you don’t hand it over today, it doesn’t matter. I will take it personally, and this time, I guarantee you won’t escape from me again." Elder Mu Zun was determined not to let Ye Qiu go, his words filled with certainty. Ye Qiu felt a chill in his heart, but outwardly he maintained a relaxed facade, saying, "I, Ye Qiu, managed to escape from you once, twice, and can escape a third and fourth time. However, this time, I might not need to escape." "Such confidence; I wonder what you rely on." Elder Mu Zun stepped forward, his body like a whirlwind. Even without using Dantian energy, Elder Mu Zun was still fearsome. Ye Qiu raised his fist, which emitted a golden shine. Upon closer inspection, a layer of golden ripples flowed across his knuckles. This is Rule Power of Gold! Despite being unable to use Dantian energy, Ye Qiu could still wield Rule Power of Gold, which even Elder Mu Zun likely didn’t anticipate. With Rule Power of Gold bolstering him, Ye Qiu clashed fearlessly with Elder Mu Zun, their fists and feet colliding in the air repeatedly, flattening entire Weapon Mountain peaks. The figures separated, with many people staring wide-eyed in disbelief. "Is it a draw? Did this native achieve Protector-level strength?" someone exclaimed. Each stood atop their respective Weapon Mountain peaks, Ye Qiu and Elder Mu Zun. From their exchanges earlier, they were evenly matched, shocking everyone’s hearts. "He can’t have increased his power so much in such a short time; this is impossible," the Demon Lord Holy Son exclaimed, one of Ye Qiu’s most displeased rivals. The Demon Lord hoped Ye Qiu would be humiliated, especially with him right in front of them. Expecting Ye Qiu to fall and Elder Mu Zun to stand triumphantly, this scene was unexpected. Elder Mu Zun is a Protector, an elder-class powerhouse, not just a typical extraterrestrial strongman. How could he not knock Ye Qiu down immediately? This defies logic. Others, besides the Demon Lord Holy Son, shared the same doubts, including Donghua Holy Son and Hongyuan Holy Son. "Daring to compete with Elder Mu Zun, Ye Qiu, is this your true power, or are you using something invisible to me?" the Turquoise Pool Saintess remarked casually. Others were stunned into silence while Tai Yi Saint Heir said nothing, focusing on Ye Qiu’s fist, his eyes flickering with astonishment. "So it’s Rule Power of Gold. Turns out, not all powers are unusable here; only Rule Power of Gold can be wielded. Truly surprising," Tai Yi Saint Heir observed. While Dantian energy couldn’t be used, a universally accepted fact, everyone unconsciously believed only physical power could be applied. Ye Qiu’s performance showed Tai Yi Saint Heir that Ye Qiu wasn’t just using his physical strength but also Rule Power of Gold. Looking closely at this weapon-rich area, brimming with various metallic arms, using Rule Power of Gold wasn’t shocking. However, few understood Rule Power of Gold, so all Martial Artists instinctively felt that Rule Power was unusable here too. Tai Yi Saint Heir kept his revelation, exclusively notifying Elder Mu Zun about Ye Qiu’s use of Rule Power of Gold. Still surprised, Elder Mu Zun pondered how Ye Qiu’s power surged without falling behind during their clash. Moreover, Ye Qiu’s fist seemed peculiar to him. Only when Tai Yi Saint Heir’s voice sounded did Mu Zun realize Ye Qiu was utilizing Rule Power of Gold. "So this is your confidence," thought Elder Mu Zun. "Unfortunately... this secret isn’t yours alone, and Rule Power of Gold isn’t exclusively yours. Next, let’s see how you battle me." With this, Elder Mu Zun began secretly amassing Rule Power of Gold before once more charging at Ye Qiu, convinced he held an advantage by combining physical strength with Rule Power of Gold against Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed as he engaged, his fist meeting Elder Mu Zun’s squarely. The massive force exploded between them, sending Ye Qiu like a cut kite, spiraling out over thirty meters. Meanwhile, Elder Mu Zun, wearing a cold smile, hovered like an unbeatable demon. Ye Qiu abruptly lifted his head, staring at Elder Mu Zun in shock, sensing the same power from him - Rule Power of Gold. Did he figure it out so quickly? Ye Qiu’s rearward body halted as his arm stretched across, stabilizing himself. Latest content published on novel⁂fire.net "I told you, you won’t escape me again. This time, I’ll capture you, ensuring you can never break free," Elder Mu Zun declared, rubbing his palm while preparing to finish him with a single move.
