CHAPTER 1506: CHAPTER 1506: HUNTING THE DESCENDERS (PART 14)

These three must die; otherwise, if they escape, his identity as a member of the Dugu clan will surely cause even bigger waves.

The Bahuang Sword rushed towards one of them, slashing down fiercely.

The Sword Qi split the sea surface, directly cutting it in half.

"Go!"

Just barely dodging this strike, another Descender pulled the man along, and the two continued to flee frantically.

Originally, they intended to kill Ye Qiu for sure, but now they were instead countered by Ye Qiu. However, at this moment, they couldn’t care less; Ye Qiu, with his immense strength and the Bahuang Sword, a Divine weapon, was formidable even if they had a numerical advantage.

As the sword strike missed, Ye Qiu’s face slightly darkened; he could not allow them to escape.

Swish.

Ye Qiu looked at the Ghostface Clone, who was exchanging wounds for kills, not allowing the opponent to escape, pressing forward step by step, about to resolve the opponent.

Go.

Ye Qiu controlled the Bahuang Sword to shoot directly at the Descender fighting the Ghostface Clone. The already terrified Descender suddenly sensed the Bahuang Sword’s deadly approach, his heart filled with despair. This clearly left him no way alive.

"I’ll fight you to the end!" the Descender shouted fiercely.

Ye Qiu’s heart skipped a beat; he sensed from the Ghostface Clone that his opponent’s aura was fluctuating drastically, especially around the Dantian, which was a sign of self-destruction.

If he was really allowed to explode, wouldn’t that destroy the Ghostface Clone as well? Ye Qiu didn’t want to lose such a powerful clone.

His eyes flashed with divine light, and a ripple appeared in the air. The Descender suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his brain, realizing Ye Qiu had launched a mental attack on him, like a needle piercing into his mind.

"Let’s perish together!"

Upon realizing this, the Descender immediately tried to self-detonate, but the Bahuang Sword instantly pierced through his Dantian, giving him no chance to explode.

"How could this be..." The Descender died with eyes wide open, falling into the sea.

With one person’s aura disappearing, the three fleeing sensed shock, stopped in their tracks, and looked towards the scene, their expressions changing. Ye Qiu temporarily gave up on them, focusing on killing one with the Ghostface Clone first.

This was clearly a strategy to break them one by one!

The three exchanged glances, daring not to linger any longer. They must escape this sea region immediately; once back on land, other Descenders would be drawn in, and they would no longer have to fear Ye Qiu.

On a dark, windy night, the three figures sped away like three meteors.

At this moment, a massive Sword Qi chased after them, disrupting their formation.

Zing...

The Bahuang Sword, controlled by the Sword Spirit, blocked their path. Though the sword itself wasn’t large, the Sword Qi it emitted was over ten feet long, like a wall blocking their way.

To get past, they had to overcome this wall.

But the Bahuang Sword was no trifling obstacle; its sharp Sword Qi posed a mortal danger if it even brushed past someone.

The three shared a brief exchange of looks and split up to escape. As they fled in three directions, the Ghostface Clone went after one, Ye Qiu pursued another, and the Bahuang Sword, guided by the Sword Spirit, aimed to slay the last.

Boom boom boom...

Explosions resounded from three different directions as both the Ghostface Clone and the Sword Spirit engaged their opponents.

Ye Qiu targeted the second weakest among them, letting the Ghostface Clone chase the strongest, while the Bahuang Sword handled the weakest.

Even if the Ghostface Clone couldn’t kill the opponent, it could stall them, although the Bahuang Sword was indeed powerful, but it was under the Sword Spirit’s control now. Ye Qiu felt compelled to use this strategy; he couldn’t attend to both simultaneously. If he abandoned one, word of his presence would spread among the Descenders before long. Having the Sword Spirit fight alone was a gamble.

He needed to eliminate one swiftly and then return immediately, or the Sword Spirit might not manage and could allow the opponent to escape.

Ye Qiu cut through the sea breeze like the Night Patrol Deity, pursuing the Descender, who had left a profound impression on him. He remembered this opponent as the Protector from the Mushan Sect, the first he had fought, whose prowess was not weak, especially his amazing Heavenly Apparition technique.

The Mushan Sect expert felt extremely unfortunate—why was Ye Qiu pursuing him instead of someone else?

"Wait, he doesn’t have that Bahuang Sword with him now, why should I fear him? Is my power worse than his?" the Mushan Sect expert suddenly felt ashamed for running from Ye Qiu.

"Though he’s at the Void Break Realm now, since he’s from the Dugu clan, he can’t maintain this state indefinitely; surely he’ll fall back to the Emperor Realm eventually, making him easy prey for me." The Mushan Sect expert, upon thinking this, felt there was no need to fear Ye Qiu. Otherwise, he’d have no face to return to his clansmen if word spread to the other Descenders.

"I can’t believe he can do anything without the Bahuang Sword," the Mushan Sect expert suddenly stopped, realizing that without the Bahuang Sword, Ye Qiu was like a toothless tiger without much threat, so why worry?

Noticing the Mushan Sect expert stopping, Ye Qiu’s mind stirred; he sensed the expert’s battle intent, seemingly wanting to fight him?

Ye Qiu was glad the other didn’t run away.

Grinning, the Mushan Sect expert shouted, "Heavenly Appari—"

Swish.

Just as the Mushan Sect expert attempted to execute the Heavenly Apparition, he felt paralyzed, or more accurately, like his soul had left his body. A large hand reached out from the light circle on Ye Qiu’s chest, grabbing him and pulling him back.

In an instant.

The Mushan Sect expert couldn’t even launch a single blow; the Heavenly Apparition was extinguished before it began.

Ye Qiu had no time to check the soul orb dropped from the Six Paths Gate. He had premeditated this move to end the fight abruptly, leaving the Mushan Sect expert no time to react.

Ye Qiu was racing against time, unable to waste even a second. It was fortunate the Mushan Sect expert inexplicably stopped, intending to fight him, unaware that beyond the Bahuang Sword, Ye Qiu carried the Six Paths Gate.

The Six Paths Gate, a unique method created by Ge Tian, was beyond the resistance of a Mushan Sect expert.

This kill was practically an instant kill.

However, Ye Qiu had no time for joy, realizing that the Sword Spirit of the Bahuang Sword was about to fall into slumber again. Once it slept, the Bahuang Sword would remain motionless.

Feeling slightly weak, as the Six Paths Gate consumed half of his power, Ye Qiu did not regret expending so much strength; defeating a Mushan Sect expert was worth it. As long as he collected more Star Coins, the repercussions would not be problematic.

Grasping a handful of Star Coins, Ye Qiu restored his strength while rushing towards the Bahuang Sword’s location.

Now, only two Descenders remained.

Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed with divine light, twinkling brighter than the stars.
