Chapter 654: Two Tigers Fight, Ye Qing Wins All

“That’s right. It is I.”

Su Xiu was looking a little pale right now. His hand where his finger was bleeding profusely, though he couldn’t seem to feel it for some reason. Not only that, the blood disappeared into thin air as it dripped.

“You should’ve figured it out sooner though.” A cruel look overcame his features. “Kill them.”

Upon hearing Su Xiu’s command, the Vigorous Bull Demon let out an angry roar. The two snakes tangled around his shoulders stood up and spat ghastly flames and black water at Dream Master and Dancer respectively. At the same time, the Vigorous Bull Demon raised its foot to stomp the duo into the ground.

Dream Master and Dancer were like ants before the humongous projection. When its foot finally struck the duo, the ground within a hundred meters of the point of impact was shattered like a mirror.

That wasn’t all. The Vigorous Bull Demon raised both of its fists and began pounding at the duo like it was beating a drum.

For a time, the earth shook, the sky shuddered, and the dust clouds blotted out everything.

“Is this all the Eight Legions could do? How disappointing.”

Su Xiu’s eyes oozed with disdain when he saw how easily the Vigorous Bull Demon had overwhelmed Dream Master and Dancer.

“Is that so?”

A gentle, melodious voice responded, and the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist suddenly came to a halt as if it was blocked by something. The demon god roared furiously, but no matter how hard it pushed, it was unable to overcome whatever its enemies’ defense.

When the dust clouds settled a little, the trio finally realized that the object blocking the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist... was another fist.

The owner of the fist was none other than Dream Master.

Dream Master was an ant compared to the Vigorous Bull Demon, much less his fist. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his fist was as small as a speck of dust.

And yet, there was no denying that an ant-sized human had stopped the Vigorous Bull Demon’s assault; that a dust-sized fist that had stopped the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist dead in its tracks.

That was just the beginning. Su Xiu and the others watched in astonishment as Dream Master slowly pushed upward and forced the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist away from him. The humiliating sight caused the demon god to roar furiously and hatefully at Dream Master, but no matter what it did, it couldn’t stop its back from straightening, couldn’t stop Dream Master from pushing it away.

After Dream Master had pushed back against the Vigorous Bull Demon three inches, he abruptly waved his hand like he was brushing away the dust on his shirt. Caught off guard by the sudden burst of strength, the demon god lost its footing and fell on its back.

For a time, silence permeated the air. No one could quite believe what they just saw.

The feat was akin to an ant toppling a gargantuan tree or stirring the clouds in the sky. It should’ve been impossible.

“Is that all the Vigorous Bull Demon has? How disappointing,” Dream Master threw Su Xiu’s words right back at him. His voice was as sweet and gentle as ever, but his words were insulting to say the least.

“He’s looking down on you and our Nethercall Abode, first senior brother! What a loathsome man!” Greenlake Bai pretended to be angry.

“The arrogance!”

Su Xiu’s expression turned serious as he clenched his right fist before opening them. Four fingers detached themselves from his hand and sank into the void.

The next moment, four demon gods leaped out into the open and shook the world.

The first demon god was a skeleton who was covered in flames. However, the flame was so cold that ice quickly coated the earth and spread to the surroundings. It was the Skeletal Demon God.

The second demon god was scorched black in color and covered in flames as well. Unlike its brethren, its flames were hot enough to melt rocks and sand and transform its surrounding into a molten hell. It was the Scorched Flame Demon God.

The third demon god was surrounded by streams of water. Its face was completely hidden, and the water looked murky and smelled horrible. Countless rotten bodies and bones floated in the streams. It was the Black Water Demon God.

And finally, the fourth demon god was some sort of insubstantial, shapeless existence that could take on any form it wished. It could be a man, a woman, a monster; laughing, crying or yelling. Possessing the power to bewitch minds or disrupt souls, it was the Heart Distorting Heavenly Demon.

As soon as the four demon gods emerged into the world, Nine Nethers Demonic Qi filled the sky, the mountains and rivers were dyed black, and even the sun and moon turned dim and powerless. It was as if the apocalypse was upon them.

The next moment, the four demon gods charged Dream Master at the same time and unleashed their respective power. But despite this, they were unable to harm the warrior. It was as if Dream Master was some sort of god as he summoned storms of heavenly lightning, fields of earthly fire, hordes of vicious tigers and dragons, formations of celestials and gods, sword beams that seemed capable of chilling nineteen provinces, saber beams that could cut open the Nine Heavens and more.

His bag of tricks seemed endless, and despite fighting four demon gods on his own, it actually looked like he was holding the upper hand.

“I’ll help you, first senior brother!”

Realizing that Su Xiu’s assault wasn’t bearing fruit, Greenlake Bai decided to join the battle.

Ah Su herself gently put down Su Xiu’s wheelchair before pouncing toward Dream Master.

On Dream Master’s side, Dancer too threw herself into battle.

Greenlake Bai flickered like a ghost as she appeared everywhere and anywhere at once. The afterimages looked fake, but some of their attacks were real, and some were not. This made it very difficult to distinguish which attack should be blocked. On top of that, Greenlake Bai was unleashing all sorts of secret arts and magic against her enemy. She certainly was putting in the effort if nothing else.

In contrast, Ah Su’s techniques were much more brutal and simplistics. She was just throwing her hands and legs at her opponent almost without any rhyme or reason whatsoever. This was what people called a “farmer plowing style”.

However, Ah Su’s attacks were powerful, heavy, and unstoppable. Moreover, her body was so tough it was almost as if she was immune to all weapons and arts. No matter what Dream Master threw at her, they failed to put even a scratch on her skin. Every time a blade or a spell hit her body, it would elicit some sort of metallic ping and nothing else.

Thanks to Greenlake Bai and Ah Su’s participation, Dream Master slowly but surely fell into a disadvantage. Still, it did not look like he was going to lose any time soon.

The battle grew more and more intense, but it would be a while before the victors were decided.

......

“What are they doing?”

Ye Qing was sitting on top of a broken wall and staring at the two groups with a strange expression.

Giggle was also copying Ye Qing’s behavior and tilting his head at the distant groups.

From Ye Qing’s perspective, Su Xiu and Dream Master were “calmly” threatening the fuck out of each other when suddenly, they fell completely still. They just stood there like they were statues, and no one was saying a word.

The tension was razor sharp just now. I thought for sure you guys are gonna fight each other to the death, so why aren’t you fighting?

Why are you just standing there like you had suddenly fallen asleep?

This is fucking bullshit!

Ye Qing couldn’t begin to describe how puzzled and miffed he was. He was puzzled because he didn’t know what the hell was going on with the duo, and he was miffed because he couldn’t play the fisherman if they didn’t fight.

Yes, Ye Qing’s plan was very simple. He was going to let the sandpiper and the clam wear each other out before he destroyed them both.

Su Xiu had picked up Nanke not because he got dogshit lucky, but because Ye Qing had made it so.

First, he leaked Nanke’s presence and drew Dream Master and Dancer toward Su Xiu. A moment before they arrived, he dropped Nanke in Su Xiu’s path.

That was how Su Xiu came across Nanke.

However, there was a chance Su Xiu might not recognize Nanke. Not everyone was as well-read as him after all. So, how could he make Su Xiu recognize its value?

He left that up to Black Lord and White Lord. It hadn’t taken much effort at all to persuade the two artifact spirits to put up an act, and all it cost was a simple request.

Thanks to Black Lord and White Lord, Su Xiu quickly recognized the true value of Nanke and became greedy. He no longer felt like giving it up to anyone.

Right after that, Dream Master and Dancer showed up. What followed next was a series of threats and counter threats.

Just in case Su Xiu succumbed to Dream Master’s threat and surrendered Nanke, Ye Qing used his demonic thought to enlarge his greed and his obsession.

It worked. Negotiations had broken down just a few minutes later.
