Chapter 1291: Perfect Warrior

“It’s your turn now...”

Yue Wanfa did not move, though his four companions all stepped forward as if drawn toward Ye Qing’s formidable presence.

The next moment, they manifested the Profound Yellow Exquisite True Body and transformed into giants about thirty meters tall. Profound Yellow Qi as their armor, eight palms pushed forward like iron chains that sailed across a river.

Ye Qing looked scornful as he ran straight toward them. He wasn’t doing anything, and yet the Profound Yellow Qi surrounding the four warriors slowly faded into nothing. Their dark yellow armor crumbled inch by inch, and their Profound Yellow Exquisite True Bodies were shriveling like punctured sacks of water. It was almost as if someone was robbing their authority over their own profound Yellow Qi.

By the time Ye Qing reached the four warriors, they were back to human size. Their auras looked dim, and their breathing was out of control. Then, Ye Qing punched them into the sky just like that. As if they had turned into ancient invalids all of a sudden, they were unable to put up any sort of resistance whatsoever.

“Useless...”

Yue Wanfa grunted when he saw this. A pair of profound lights surged out of his nostrils.

The profound lights transformed into a dragon and a serpent. The serpent stayed on the ground and sealed the earth, and the dragon soared into the sky and sealed the heavens. Together, they were known as “Seal Heaven and Earth”.

Suddenly, Ye Qing slowed down drastically as if he was caught in a swamp. Seeing this, Yue Wanfa immediately made a hand seal and summoned a divine image. Hundreds of meters tall, it was wearing an imperial crown and imperial robe of mountains and rivers.

Slowly, the divine image and Yue Wanfa overlapped with each other, causing his energies to become vast and inviolable.

Yue Wanfa was channeling a god unto himself. The spell was called the “Nine Heavens God Channeling Spell”.

After he was possessed by a god, Yue Wanfa raised his right hand and summoned what looked like a mountain on his palm. Then, he turned his palm over and dropped a finger.

Rumble rumble rumble...

The image of a mountain appeared above Ye Qing’s head, and he immediately started shuddering as if he was bearing an unbelievable weight. The fact that the Unbounded Platform was shaking violently as well proved that, despite the semi-transparent, almost illusory look of the mountain, it was anything but light.

Despite bearing the weight of an entire mountain on his back, Ye Qing continued to walk undaunted.

“I summon a mountain[1]...”

Wearing a disdainful expression, Yue Wanfa bent the rest of his fingers one after another.

Every time he bent a finger, the silhouette of a mountain would descend from above.

Five mountain silhouettes were stacked on top of Ye Qing’s head in just the blink of an eye.

“One should summon mountains to suppress gods and demons.” Therefore, this spell was named, “Spell of Summoning The True Form of Mountains”.

With five mountains pressing down on him, Ye Qing looked like he could barely move an inch.

At the same time, one of Yue Wanfa’s eyes turned pitch black, and the other pure white. As the colors deepened, the ground directly beneath Ye Qing turned black and white as well.

Pitch black churned, and pure white stirred. The next moment, a black inscribed stick and a white inscribed stick took form. One of them said, “Petition: Kill Mind”, and the other, “Petition: Slay Body”.

The two inscribed sticks were called the “Kill Mind Slay Body Order”. It was exactly what it sounded like. The black inscribed stick killed the mind and soul, whereas the white inscribed stick slew the astral and body.

As soon as they took form, the two inscribed sticks stabbed into Ye Qing at the same time.

In just the span of a few breaths, Yue Wanfa had executed four types of Magia and secret art. “Seal Heaven and Earth” restricted Ye Qing’s movement, “Nine Heavens God Channeling Spell” empowered his strength, “Spell of Summoning The True Form of Mountains” kept Ye Qing pinned, and “Kill Mind Slay Body Order” cut his body and mind.

Yue Wanfa had executed the four Magia and secret arts in rapid succession and as naturally as breathing. There was a reason the

jianghu

called him the “Perfect Warrior”.

However, Yue Wanfa frowned after casting his last spell. It was because he sensed his “Kill Mind Slay Body Order” sinking into Ye Qing but failing to elicit any response whatsoever.

The next moment, Ye Qing shrugged a little. Like an earth dragon who was turning in its sleep, visible sound waves exploded from the young man’s body had destroyed the five mountains Yue Wanfa summoned using the “Spell of Summoning The True Form of Mountains” into pieces.

That wasn’t all. Yue Wanfa’s pupils contracted into pins when Ye Qing abruptly disappeared right under his nose. It was as if his “Seal Heaven and Earth” Magia had suddenly failed for some reason.

Alarm bells blared in Yue Wanfa’s head as soon as Ye Qing disappeared. He did not hesitate to wave his sleeves and, like a god who commanded the stars of the nine heavens, summoned a total of twenty eight stars all around. They were arranged into four groups of seven, and they composed the image of the Blue Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise. Each image occupied one cardinal direction.

The Four Symbols guarded the cardinal directions, and the twenty eight Constellations flanked Yue Wanfa. Hence, the spell was named the “Spell of Four Symbols and Constellations”.

The spell summoned the power of twenty eight Constellations in the form of the Four Symbols. The Blue Dragon was a symbol of life, swiftly restoring the practitioner’s true qi and vitality; the Vermillion Bird and White Dragon were symbols of murder, capable of destroying evils and monsters; and the Black Tortoise was a symbol of protection, defending the practitioner from all evils.

In short, the “Spell of Four Symbols and Constellations” was a combination spell of restoration, protection, and attack all at once. It was one of Yue Wanfa’s greatest trump cards.

However, every hair on Yue Wanfa’s body stood on end in the next moment. At the same time, he was gripped by deep puzzlement and confusion.

It was because Ye Qing had suddenly appeared right behind him, and the “Spell of Four Symbols and Constellations” had not responded to his appearance at all.

“Who do you think you are to use the Profound Yellow Mother Qi in front of me?”

Ye Qing’s ridiculing voice drilled into Yue Wanfa’s ears before a flurry of punches struck him.

Thump thump thump thump thump...

At least hundreds, no, thousands of punches landed on Yue Wanfa’s body in just the span of breaths. Like a dead leaf in autumn, Yue Wanfa tossed and turned as chunks of flesh were literally punched out of his body.

BOOM!

When the last punch landed, Yue Wanfa’s body abruptly exploded into a shower of starlight.

Yue Wanfa wasn’t dead. The starlight eventually reconstituted him several hundred meters away from Ye Qing. However, his expression was cold, and his face white. Although his aura was still intimidating, it wasn’t as immense or flawless as it once was.

Clearly, Yue Wanfa had taken a significant amount of damage even though he looked fine on the outside.

Ye Qing did not press his advantage though. Instead, he looked at Xuanyuan De, Haotian Chengxing, and the Southern Ghost Emperor before asking with a smile, “Do you think I’m qualified to fight against you all now?”

Yue Wanfa, Xuanyuan De, Haotian Chengxing, and the Ghost Emperor were completely silent. In fact, the entire area was completely silent.

Everyone knew that Ye Qing was strong beyond imagination, but to be so strong that he could beat the crap out of these godlike geniuses, each one of them on par with Yan Wuxie, like they were monkeys?

Just how was this possible?

Was he just that strong, or were these geniuses actually less impressive than they looked on the outside?

Of course, Yue Wanfa, Xuanyuan De and more were not weak. The reason they suffered such humiliation in a single exchange was one, they were too proud for their own good and grossly underestimated Ye Qing, and two, Ye Qing had caught them completely off guard with his movements.

It was all thanks to “Flowing In The Six Places”. Although it hadn’t been long since he started practicing the movement art, Nanke had given him enough time to grow familiar with it. Of course, he was still far away from grasping its secrets completely, but he had glimpsed some of the changes of the six places and what it truly meant to flow endlessly. Today, he could now flow anywhere he wanted as swiftly as lightning. He could even ignore parts of the effects of some Magia and secret arts.

Finally, he was the true inheritor of the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture” and the Profound Yellow Mother Qi, whereas Yue Wanfa and his four companions’ martial arts were derived from the “Earthly Sovereign Scripture”. Not only that, he possessed the Earthly Sovereign Bell. He was practically the pseudo ancestor of every martial art ever created by the Earthly Sovereign Hall, which was why he could easily dismantle them and gain the upper hand.

It was true that Yue Wanfa was a master of countless arts. It was true that his techniques, spells and methods were profound and enigmatic. However, he couldn’t change the fact that his martial arts all originated from the Earthly Sovereign Scripture, and the large majority of his Magia and secret arts were tied to the Profound Yellow Mother Qi. Naturally, Ye Qing could control and dismantle them as well.

This was a unique advantage only an insider could possess.

1. I’m sorry this part sounds like Yugi-oh but the alternative is something like, “Come, mountain!” which really isn’t better... ☜
