Chapter 781: Chapter 0699: Annihilate Everything, Control Life and Death (Seven Updates)
"The people from the World Court are becoming more and more audacious!"
A cold voice echoed near her ear, and Song Shuyao’s delicate body trembled as she suddenly opened her eyes.
Ye Qingfeng, unbeknownst to her, was already standing by her side.
"Ye Qingfeng?"
Song Shuyao’s eyes widened, filled with shock.
They were currently amidst a circle of fire, surrounded by high-temperature flames, yet Ye Qingfeng appeared next to her so abruptly?
She found it hard to imagine how Ye Qingfeng had crossed the flames.
In front of everyone, the person who had attacked Song Shuyao earlier now had his head severed from his body, dying gruesomely.
"What... What is happening?"
Everyone hadn’t yet reacted, but the cold voice sounded behind them. Frightened glances turned back, only to see Ye Qingfeng standing calmly.
Upon seeing Ye Qingfeng appear, Wei Wuming was initially startled, then overwhelmed with joy.
Han Qingqiu’s beautiful eyes widened, filled with unconcealed excitement.
These five from the World Court may be strong, but they were only at the high-level War King level. Now that someone could easily obliterate a War King showed up, what did she have to fear?
The sudden decapitation of their companion left the remaining four from the World Court in shock. When they saw Ye Qingfeng’s face, they cried out in terror.
"Ye Jiujie?"
Almost the instant they spoke, the four showed no hesitation and turned to flee.
The crowd was once again shocked. These few in black had previously been arrogant and ruthless, even threatening Wei Wuming. Now, seeing Ye Qingfeng, they fled without uttering a word?
Only now did they remember the mention of "Ye Jiujie." This so-called Ye Jiujie, wasn’t he the young man who stepped on Wei Wuming and with a word, made Wu Sicong forfeit his family wealth?
"A few second-rate War Kings, and you still think you can escape from me!"
Ye Qingfeng’s gaze was indifferent, then suddenly made a single-handed wave.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Three consecutive explosive sounds rang out, as three of the black-clad figures instantly exploded mid-air, transforming into a display of beautiful yet tragic flames.
Startled glances landed back on Ye Qingfeng. Was this all the doing of this young man?
Song Shuyao’s eyes were incredibly complex. She knew Ye Qingfeng must possess special skills to make Wei Wuming so fearful and respectful, but she didn’t expect him to possess such godlike abilities.
Among the five, only one black-clad figure remained. He clutched Han Qingqiu’s slender neck with one hand, body trembling, and eyes filled with dread.
He never expected that even after acting so covertly, they would attract this killing god in such a short time.
In the World Court, he was only the lowest-ranking War King expert, lacking even the most basic status. But he was well aware of Ye Qingfeng’s intimidating power within the World Court; even Half-step War Emperors and War Emperors turned pale at the mention of him, deeming themselves inferior, let alone a minor War King like him?
"Ye Jiujie, you... don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill her!"
His voice trembled, indicating the extent of his inner fear.
Yet Ye Qingfeng seemed oblivious, walking forward with slow steps. The circle of fire that originally surrounded everyone instantly dissipated as his foot touched the ground.
"Go ahead and kill her. Do you think using her could threaten me?"
His gaze flickered with contempt as he closed within ten zhang of the black-clad figure.
Hearing his words, Han Qingqiu’s heart surged with anger, staring at Ye Qingfeng’s indifferent eyes, causing her heart to ache.
To Ye Qingfeng, she was negligible, not worth considering, and he didn’t even care about her life?
"This bastard!"
Her beautiful eyes glared at Ye Qingfeng, but he paid no heed.
He merely raised his hand slightly, pointing at the black-clad figure.
"Even if you have thousands of hostages, you can’t escape death if I decide to kill you!"
Ye Qingfeng waved dismissively: "I won’t kill you now. Go back and tell those old fogies at the World Court: from now on, anyone from the World Court I, Ye Jiujie, see, I’ll kill, until none remain. One day, I’ll flatten your World Court!"
As his words ended, his figure suddenly vanished, and in that instant, Han Qingqiu felt a powerful arm wrap around her waist, bringing her a sense of peace.
The black-clad figure’s eyes widened. Ye Qingfeng had already appeared in front of him, rescuing Han Qingqiu without him being able to react at all.
Ye Qingfeng placed a finger on his chest, holding Han Qingqiu as they gracefully retreated.
"You can leave now. Remember to relay my words without missing a single one. You have five hours!"
After speaking, Ye Qingfeng paid no more attention to the black-clad figure, gently patting Han Qingqiu’s shoulder, instantly freeing her from her restraints.
The black-clad figure didn’t understand what Ye Qingfeng meant, but upon hearing Ye Qingfeng allowing him to leave, he was immeasurably overjoyed, and his figure swiftly disappeared into the darkness within breaths.
The previous black-clad figure’s decapitated body was entirely incinerated by Leaving Fire, turning into wisps of smoke under everyone’s watchful eyes.
"Thank you, God of Kill, for the rescue!"
Wei Wuming finally came to his senses, clasping his hands and bowing to Ye Qingfeng, his words sincere.
"I came to save my friends; saving you was incidental. No need to thank me!"
Ye Qingfeng’s tone was aloof as he looked at Jiang Chen and Song Shuyao, smiling faintly.
"Now you should understand why they all fear me!"
Jiang Chen and Song Shuyao’s hearts trembled violently. The scene before them was like a dream, yet undeniably real.
In every move, he controlled life and death, possessing an unfathomable power that was truly shocking.
Song Shuyao stood frozen, and suddenly, she felt a vast distance between her and Ye Qingfeng’s world. There were too many things about Ye Qingfeng she didn’t understand, causing her both fear and an exhilarating thrill.
"Boss, you..."
At this moment, Jiang Chen finally realized that Ye Qingfeng subdued others not through power or wealth, nor through manipulation or skill, but through an overwhelmingly strong force that could annihilate everything and control life and death.
"I’ll explain in detail some other day. You guys go back to school; there won’t be any more danger!"
Ye Qingfeng waved his hand, taking large strides to leave. After a brief moment of astonishment, Wei Wuming’s subordinates came to their senses, all exclaiming in awe.
Previously, Ye Qingfeng, though subduing Wei Wuming and bankrupting Wu Sicong’s entire family, surprised them, they didn’t know what Ye Qingfeng was truly capable of. But now, that mysterious and immeasurable power undeniably shocked them.
"This is Ye Jiujie, this is the pinnacle of the world."
Zhong Peiling clutched her chest as her heart continued to race uncontrollably. Reflecting on how she once believed Wei Wuming was so powerful, she realized she was just seeing the world from a well.
(Happy National Day!)
