<h4>Chapter 1054 I Disagree</h4>
Trantor: Aran
This mission should have been a timely cooperation between the ck Guards of the Demon Race and the White-robed Divine Guards.
The ck Fish airship of the Demon Race had sealed off the void, and the ck Guards had originally not intended to physically take part in the battle. And although their presence was just for security, Ye Qingyu''s sudden appearance turned the tables on them. Now, they had no choice but to interfere.
"Who do think you are to interfere in the internal matters of the Human Race? You''re courting your own death."
Huang Tianfang was enraged and immediately began shouting at the guards.
He was already angry about the sudden appearance of the ck Fish airship of the demons, which had sealed off ess to the airspace above Blue Cloud Manor, and upon hearing the ck Guards insult Ye Qingyu, the Third Deputy Envoy of the Human Race, in such a manner, the public-spirited Lord of the manor could no longer hold himself back.
"I''m Purple Night."
The expert from the Demon Race stared at Huang Tianfang as he spoke with purple demonic energy circling around him. He looked as though he was staring at a dead man, and he began tough coldly.
He was the [Demon Sage], Purple Night, one of the six leaders of the ck Guards from the headquarters of the Alliance of Domains.
He was an expert from the Demon Race who had entered the Great Saint realm just a year ago.
Over the past year, his name had be very famous in Heaven Connect City. He had progressed even further to reign supreme over the leaders of the White-robed Divine Guards, such as Lin Yutang, Tang Chong, and Fang Bule. His fame led him to gradually be arrogant, and his manner turned extremely vicious. He was known to react vengefully to people who just stared at him, and he even tortured someone who had taken one nce too many at him by removing that person''s limbs, eyes, and tongue. He would surely sentence Huang Tianfang to death for speaking to him so impudently, and he would most definitely make this human suffer terribly before allowing him to die.
"You''re the [Demon Sage], Purple Night?"
Huang Tianfang''s expression changed a little upon realizing who he was talking to.
He had arrived in Heaven Connect City a few years before, but he had mostly remained indoors to train in self-istion. He had heard of the [Demon Sage''s] name but had never seen him before, and he had not expected for Purple Night to lead the ck Guards during this particr mission. All of a sudden, Huang Tianfang began to worry for Ye Qingyu, and he nced at the deputy.
"Huang Tianfang, Lord of Blue Cloud Manor? Very well, haha, I''ll remember you," the [Demon Sage] replied. He did not physically assault Huang Tianfang, but instead began tough coldly. It was best to begin torturing someone mentally, and to only move against them when their mind was broken. Since time was on his side, he could afford to attend to more pressing matters first.
Thereupon, he continued tough coldly as he taunted, "Hehe... Fang Bule, do you want me to help you? Hmm? Have you been scared by this junior of ours so much that you don''t even dare to speak now?"
Indeed, Fang Bule, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to even speak a single word.
Not even a single word.
He did not even take a single look at the [Demon Sage].
One could just sense the terrible power of Ye Qingyu while being suppressed by the god of death. Fang Bule did not feel that Purple Night, the [Demon Sage], could gain any advantage in a fight with Ye Qingyu, and he did not think that interference from the ck Guards of the Demon Race would change things.
A look of sullenness shed across Purple Night''s face.
He turned around to face Ye Qingyu. "Ye Qingyu, the Third Deputy Envoy of the Human Race, right? The order to capture Lin Yutang and the others came from the divine temple of the Alliance of Domains. You''re merely a Third Deputy Envoy from the Human Race, and an honorary deputy to boot. You have no actual authority, so how dare you defy orders and publicly humiliate a leader of the White-robed Divine Guards! You''vemitted a heinous crime. Do you still deny that?"
There was a mysterious power contained in his voice, and it was apanied by the pressure only an expert in the Great Saint realm could produce. It exploded suddenly and shot toward Ye Qingyu.
A derisive smile appeared on the [Demon Sage]''s face.
It was as if he was already picturing the image of Ye Qingyu being knocked backward clumsily from the force of his attack.
His smile, however, would eventually freeze on his face.
This was because Ye Qingyu remained still in his original spot. Before the mysterious force and Great Saint realm level of pressure could reach him, it strangely dissipated, as if it had been swallowed up by the air around Ye Qingyu. Not a single hair on his head had moved, much less knocked him backward.
"Huh?" Purple Night said, surprised.
He was just about to continue speaking, but all of a sudden he noticed that the corners of Ye Qingyu''s lips had curled into a sneer. Before he could even react, a sudden, formless energy wave surged toward him. It instantly made the [Demon Sage] feel pathetic about himself, as if he was just a speck of dust in the vast universe. His vision blurred, and he did not know why but he began to see illusory images of a divine golden dragon raising its five-fingered w at him. It wed off his head with one blow, and he nearly screamed in fright. He kept retreating, looking extremely flustered.
The image vanished very quickly.
The [Demon Sage] let out a loud yell. A bead of cold sweat flowed down from his forehead, and he seemed to be in extreme panic. Upon further examination, he realized that he had taken dozens of steps backward and that his five subordinates were looking at him in shock andplete disbelief.
Ye Qingyu was standing opposite him with a look of contempt and mockery on his face.
"I..."
Purple Night wanted to speak, but no words woulde out of his mouth.
He already understood that he had wanted to disy his power but ended up making a fool of himself instead. He had been suppressed by Ye Qingyu''s aura, knocked backward by it, and lost his self-control in public.
How could this have happened?
He was already in the Great Sage realm and he had long trained his mind and spirit to be imprable. He was already at the peak of the martial artsmunity of the Vast Thousand Worlds, and even experts at the peak of the Great Saint level could not have made him look so bad just by using their aura alone. How did Ye Qingyu manage to do that?
A mysterious technique?
It must be some sort of mysterious technique that targets one''s spirit, he thought.
The [Demon Sage] was in shock and anger.
He could have still somehow epted defeat if Ye Qingyu had forced him to stumble backward in a full-on battle, but he could never ept that he had been defeated just by his aura alone.
However, the most terrifying aspect of mysterious techniques that targeted the spirit was that they attacked suddenly. As long as one took the necessary precautions in advance, such techniques would not be much of a threat.
The [Demon Sage], Purple Night, had already realized this and focused his mind, condensing his spirit as one. He secretly prepared himself for any sudden onughts and slowly walked forward.
"You... How dare you use mysterious techniques to attack me covertly!"
He used his opponent, but in fact, he was trying to cover for his loss of image just now.
"So, it was a sneak attack."
"No wonder..."
"So his opponent used some secret spirit-targeting technique. It makes sense now."
Comments of sudden realization could be heard all around.
Earlier on, they had watched Purple Night scream and act as if he was insane after Ye Qingyu had sneered at him. It had given every living being on Wuqing street a huge shock. After all, the [Demon Sage] was an expert who had be very famoustely in Heaven Connect City, so Ye Qingyu''s power was truly terrifying if he could defeat the [Demon Sage] just by using his aura alone.
Ye Qingyu was speechless.
And toozy to exin it as well.
The pressure generated by a Quasi-emperor was enough to cause an expert at the peak of the Great Saint realm to hallucinate. Even though Ye Qingyu had still not entered the Quasi-emperor realm, he was extremely close to it. The suppressive aura that he had unleashed just now was something that he had picked up after observing Quasi-emperors in battle in the void of the universe. He managed to learn the nuances of aura-channeling, and it was something that was beyond martial artists like Purple Night who had just stepped foot into the Great Saint realm. As such, the [Demon Sage] could onlye up with the exnation that Ye Qingyu had used a spirit-targeting mysterious technique.
"I can''t be bothered to talk nonsense with you."
Ye Qingyu did not want to waste any more time. His figure blurred, then he appeared in front of Purple Night instantly before punching out at the [Demon Sage].
"Are you trying to court death...? [Deity Submerging w]!" Purple Night roared in anger.
He reacted very quickly. A purplish aura circled around his entire body, and the divine light covering his hands transformed into a set of scaly talons that shed with a purplish glow. They grabbed hold of Ye Qingyu''s fists instantly.
Purple Night was originally a heavenly falcon from the line of dragons before he had attained the Dao. There was natural dragon''s blood in his body, and coupled with the fact that he was a descendant of heavenly falcons, his ws were extremely terrifying. He had shredded countless strong martial artists with his talent and sharp talons, and even experts that were stronger than him dared not meet them head-on. The [Demon Sage]ughed loudly after he managed to grab hold of Ye Qingyu''s hands and channeled his strength into his talons, intending to grind Ye Qingyu''s fists into dust!
"Child''s y."
Ye Qingyu sneered.
He then unleashed the might of the [Great Light Dragon Punch].
Bam!
Bloody spit and bones flew into the air.
The [Demon Sage''s] sharp talons split open instantly, like ceramic that had burst open, and turned into pulpy flesh.
The gulf between their martial prowess andprehension of the realms was simply too huge. Even though Ye Qingyu had purposely kept most of his power in check and not used his Divine Emperor sword will, the talons of the [Demon Sage] had exploded into a bloody mess. He waspletely unconcerned about the welfare of his opponent.
Purple Night, however, was inplete shock.
He was so shaken that he forgot about his pain.
In an instant, his mind had turnedpletely nk.
How could this happen?
He could not ept the result of their fight at all.
"Be careful, my lord."
"What impudence!"
However, the other five ck Guards of the Demon Race reacted and unleashed their strongest powers at the same time while they surrounded Ye Qingyu and tried to save the [Demon Sage] from danger. Waves of demonic energy surged instantly as all five of them leapt into battle. Their weapons glinted as they charged at Ye Qingyu with the force of a storm, as if they wanted to overwhelm and crush him by force.
"Scram!"
Ye Qingyu shouted as he took a step forward.
Massive yuan qi was unleashed from his body for an instant before being absorbed back.
The other people on Wuqing street had not sensed anything, but the expression of the five ck Guards changed drastically, and they eximed in shock.
In an instant, they felt as though Ye Qingyu was like a deity who had descended upon their world. They realized that their attacks had rebounded off him, and even that rebound contained a huge, magnificent, and uncontroble force. It shot back toward them with a great unstoppable force, and they were knocked backward through the air, blood spewing out of their mouths. They crashed into a stone tablet erected a long distance away on the street, leaving trails of blood on it, andy twitching on the ground like dead dogs, their fates unknown.
The [Demon Sage] had just regained his senses at that moment and hastily retreated.
"You... How dare you harm the ck Guards of the Demon Race..." he shouted, sensing that things were quickly turning south for him and his men.
Ye Qingyu took a giant stride forward and appeared before Purple Night in an instant. He kicked the [Demon Sage''s] knees, and there was a sickening crunch as Purple Night knelt onto the ground squealing.
"I''m a leader of the Demon Race, you can''t..." the [Demon Sage] shouted wildly. He was beginning to feel scared.
Ye Qingyu gave him a huge p, knocking a handful of teeth out of the demon''s mouth in the process.
Blood spewed out of Purple Night''s mouth. "You... Do you want to wage war against the Demon Race?" he roared.
"You aren''t fit to represent the entire Demon Race yet," Ye Qingyu replied as he stepped on the demon''s chest with one foot, breaking a few of his ribs in the process. He looked down at his opponent and continued in an icy tone, "I should be asking whether you people are nning to wage war against the Human Race instead! You ck Guards of the Demon Race appeared in the sky above Blue Cloud Manor and seized the human White-robed Divine Guards!"
"I''m acting upon orders..." the [Demon Sage] instinctively tried to exin out of fear.
Ye Qingyu increased the force on his leg, and there was a resounding boom as the body of the [Demon Sage] exploded. Murderous energy circled around him, and heughed derisively with a chilling expression on his face. "Acting upon orders? Whose orders? Since when did we humans require you demons to interfere in our internal matters? Since you''ve overstepped your boundaries, you should be prepared to pay. Do you really think that you can bully us humans?"
"No..." Purple Night muttered as his blood qi churned and his body reformed. However, he could still not escape from under Ye Qingyu''s foot and he was beginning to be truly afraid now. "This is a misunderstanding," he continued.
"Misunderstanding?" Ye Qingyuughed. "We humans will never stand being humiliated. Since you dared to cause such a misunderstanding, I shall ''misunderstand'' you once as well."
He then caused the [Demon Sage''s] body to explode into a bloody mess again.
Purple Night roared in indignation; he was beingpletely humiliated. He expended some of his origin yuan qi to reform his body again before continuing in a trembling voice, "I will retreat... The ck Guards of the Demon Race will retreat and act as though this matter never happened... Let''s forget about today''s incident, and the headquarters of the Demon Race at the Alliance of Domains won''t pursue you to take responsibility for your actions today. We should end this now."
"Retreat now?" Ye Qingyu replied as he shook his head cruelly. "I disagree."
