CHAPTER 1186: CHAPTER 1186: YOU CAN CRAWL OVER HERE AND DIE! (SECOND UPDATE)

Ye Zi’s growth to the present, becoming a mythical realm, makes the Southern Demon Du Ying very happy, just like creating a work of art.

However, being able to destroy a satisfactory piece of art with his own hands is an even more thrilling event.

At this moment, this is the mindset of the Southern Demon Du Ying.

A twisted mentality.

Ye Zi activated all her strength, fully prepared, as the Southern Demon Du Ying brought her immense pressure.

In terms of realm, the Southern Demon was a realm higher than her. Ye Zi had no advantage. In terms of cultivation technique, she might have a slight advantage, but at this moment, Ye Zi had a fatal flaw, and that was the Rule Power.

Du Ying twisted his arm, a force of water’s Rule Power generated in his palm, brewing an attack.

"My dear disciple, as your master, I truly can’t bear to kill you." Though his lips spoke of reluctance, Du Ying’s hands showed no hesitation in their attack, directly raising his palm, sweeping down a terrifying mass of water vapor that sent Ye Zi flying, rolling across the beach for several rotations.

This scene was just like the first time the two of them had clashed: same place, same people, and the same outcome.

The Southern Demon Du Ying continued to walk forward, swirling his hand once more. Ye Zi, who had just stood up, was swept away again by a column of water.

"Dear disciple, how many times can you endure such attacks?"

Ye Zi remained silent. She had long been aware of Du Ying’s twisted mentality, so nothing he did would surprise her, just like now.

Rousing her body once more, Ye Zi immediately executed her shadowless move, her figure transforming into a line in the air.

The Southern Demon Du Ying smiled with a chilling expression, opting not to attack, allowing Ye Zi’s strikes to fall upon him.

Ssss... ssss...

Each of Ye Zi’s strikes that landed was met by a water screen that dispersed all the force.

Rapidly changing her position, Ye Zi found that no matter how fast she was, she could not surpass the Southern Demon’s water rule defense.

Bang.

Suddenly, behind Ye Zi, a massive water-formed foot over ten meters high swung toward her, kicking her tens of meters into the air before she could react.

Du Ying pointed skyward, and immediately in front and behind the airborne Ye Zi appeared countless water arrows, descending simultaneously at the flick of Du Ying’s finger, raining down upon Ye Zi.

The multitudinous attacks nearly pierced Ye Zi through and through, causing her to fall straight down.

The Southern Demon Du Ying was quite satisfied with his attack. Although Ye Zi was also a mythological realm martial artist, she had not comprehended the Rule Power, and her advancement to the mid-mythological realm was largely due to pills. Unfortunately, the elixirs left by Ye Qiu could only bolster strength, not the Rule Yuan Dan.

A martial artist who has not comprehended Rule Power is like a warrior without a weapon, losing the greatest advantage, relying instead only on fists and feet.

Ye Zi is also like this, as is Daoist Qian Zhen.

Du Ying approached the prone Ye Zi, looking down and saying, "Remember the last time I hit you so badly it was about two years ago? Two years have passed, and you still haven’t changed the outcome."

Ye Zi, her entire body in pain, had just been severely injured by the water arrow attack, finding it difficult to muster strength, even to stand.

"I like your eyes, but I prefer to see them crushed. Desperate, terrified eyes I’ve seen too many of. Yours, however, are rarely seen—unyielding unto death."

"I’m quite curious what would make those eyes of yours turn to terror."

"It’s really troublesome!"

Du Ying muttered to himself, gesticulating with excitement.

"You are a genuine pervert!" Ye Zi raised her head, looking at the demonic face before her, and spat out the words.

Du Ying’s face suddenly turned cold, then he laughed, squatting down, hooking Ye Zi’s chin with his hand and raising it slightly, "I quite like this title. Let me think, how many people have called me this? Seventy-nine? No, eighty-nine. You should be the ninetieth."

This unpredictable and capricious nature was displayed vividly in Du Ying.

Ye Zi wanted to kill him but could only glare fiercely at him, knowing that looks can’t kill.

"Oh, right, I remember last time, a man came to save you. If it wasn’t for him, I couldn’t have broken through the True Qi realm. I should really thank him," Du Ying suddenly recalled Ye Qiu.

"Ha, fleeing in panic was you. You’re not invincible, even with your current strength, you’re no match for Brother Ye Qiu."

"He could defeat you with one hand, no, a single finger could win against you," Ye Zi mocked coldly.

Unashamed of being exposed by Ye Zi, Du Ying scoffed, "You’re quite confident in your Brother Ye Qiu."

Thinking for a moment, Du Ying found that the name sounded quite familiar.

"Ye Qiu... Ye Qiu... It seems I’ve heard many mention him."

"My Brother Ye Qiu is the first in the martial world. This cowardly runner will never defeat him in this lifetime," Ye Zi declared loudly.

Her words aimed to provoke the peculiar Du Ying were somewhat futile, as the mention only piqued his interest in Ye Qiu.

"First in the martial world? Ha, I’d like to witness the martial world’s might. Back when I just broke through and my realm was unstable, today if he appears, I will cut him down easily."

"Just with you? You’re unworthy," Ye Zi sneered.

"If you don’t believe it, I can kill him right in front of you. Wouldn’t you be in great pain then? Oh, this thought seems great, I look forward to his appearance," Du Ying said indifferently.

Ye Zi was about to mock Du Ying again, but stopped just as the words came out.

In her vision, she saw the man she most wanted to see!

From the air came a faint voice, "You wish so desperately for my appearance, if I didn’t show up, you’d be quite disappointed, wouldn’t you, defeated man?"

Du Ying turned sharply in alarm, "It’s you..."

Ye Qiu approached slowly, Du Ying’s gaze flickered. He had indeed been defeated by Ye Qiu in the past, and now being directly confronted by him, a surge of murderous intent filled Du Ying’s heart.

He retorted, "Though I was defeated by you, Southern Demon, it does not mean I will lose today. Since you have come, I will kill you in front of her."

Ye Qiu’s steps appeared slow, but as he spoke he closed to within twenty meters of Du Ying, followed by Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and Elder Jin and other martial elders.

Seeing Ye Zi lying on the ground, Ye Qiu’s eyes shot a cold light.

In a flash, he appeared before Du Ying, picking Ye Zi up. Du Ying did not stop him, unhurried by such a moment.

"Brother Ye Qiu... I..." Ye Zi began to speak. Ye Qiu placed a finger on his lips, "No need to speak, I will handle him for you, rest well and watch how I avenge you."

Ye Zi softly murmured assent, and Ye Qiu handed her to Jin Shanshun’s care.

Immediately, Ye Qiu turned around, his presence brimming with killing intent, coldly declaring, "You can roll over here and die now."
