Ye Qiu smiled faintly, patting the cloth pouch at his waist.
"Let's go!"
He glanced at Liu Erlong beside him and said softly.
Then, he pulled her forward.
"Ye Qiu, you must be careful later; I might not be able to fully look after you!"
Liu Erlong followed beside Ye Qiu, gently admonishing him.
"It's a life-or-death battle! Why are you staring at me? If the enemy finds an opening and injures you, then I'm done for too."
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at her in exasperation.
"You just need to steadily and confidently take down the enemy. Don't rush, and don't underestimate them. I'll be careful myself!"
"Mm! I understand." Liu Erlong nodded, savoring the slight concern in Ye Qiu's words like honey, and smiled happily.
Witnessing this scene,
Ye Qiu rubbed his temples helplessly.
It seems bringing a love-struck person into battle also carries significant risks.
Fortunately, he had foresight and found someone to cover his back.
…
Soon, Ye Qiu and Liu Erlong saw two small dots appear in the distance.
The burly Nangong sat on the ground.
The spirit power consumed during the previous Spirit Beast hunt had already fully recovered.
And he had chosen the battleground.
For an archer, it was naturally best to avoid direct combat with others in such an open area.
The dense forest behind him was perfect, allowing him to use the obstacles to maintain distance from the enemy!
Nanming, standing beside him, immediately perked up.
"Brother, they're here!"
After reminding Nangong, he immediately released his Spirit.
Six spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, appeared beneath his feet, and a slender, blood-red arrow appeared in his hand, spinning twice.
"Mm! I see them!" Nangong's voice boomed, and he suddenly stood up.
The slender Nanming stood in front of his two-meter-tall burly body, looking like his delicate wife.
Buzz!
The ground suddenly glowed red.
A blood-red greatbow appeared in Nangong's hand.
The dragon-shaped patterns on it were lifelike, as if they were about to come alive.
Beneath his feet, seven spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, pulsed.
His spirit power, at seventy-ninth rank, was comparable to Liu Erlong's.
"It seems we can both complete the mission assigned by His Excellency!"
Nangong watched Liu Erlong and Ye Qiu rushing towards him.
He muttered coldly to himself.
He felt no emotion regarding the lives of others.
If the mission wasn't completed, they would all die sooner or later!
"Nanming, wait for me inside!"
"Understood!" Nanming replied and immediately walked into the dense forest behind him.
Nangong, however, began to draw his bow at Ye Qiu and Liu Erlong.
His third spirit ring flashed beneath his feet, suddenly flying into the sky and expanding.
It enveloped the approaching Ye Qiu and Liu Erlong.
He then shot an arrow at that spirit ring, and a torrent of arrows poured down.
Third Spirit Ability, Myriad Arrows Piercing Heart!
"Erlong, be careful!"
A flash of light appeared in Ye Qiu's eyes, and the arrows passed directly through him.
Liu Erlong immediately summoned her Spirit, a fiery dragon roaring behind her.
Seven spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, pulsed beneath her feet.
"Third Spirit Ability, Raging Thunder of Fury!"
As her voice fell, a huge lightning fireball immediately appeared in Liu Erlong's hand.
She threw it towards the sky above her.
Boom!
Then, fire blazed across the sky, and lightning flashed everywhere.
The sky above them brightened again.
Nangong looked at Ye Qiu with some surprise, a cold glint flashing in his blood-red pupils, and turned to run in Nanming's direction.
"Stop right there, you bastard!"
Seeing that Nangong turned to run as soon as she got close,
Liu Erlong's fourth spirit ring flashed beneath her feet, and another fireball appeared in her hand.
Fourth Spirit Ability, Bloodthirsty Blazing Flame!
The fiery red light illuminated Nangong's back as it blasted towards him.
"Don't even think about it!"
Nanming in the dense forest roared.
Immediately, an arrow was thrown out by him.
Fifth Spirit Ability, Crushing Arrow!
The arrow continuously magnified, instantly turning as thick as a person, and crashed towards the large fireball.
A glint flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes, and Kamui activated.
The giant arrow subtly distorted, yet it paused slightly.
Suddenly, it brushed past the dragon flame.
With a bang, it smashed onto the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu waved his hand, and a large amount of blue and red intermingled Blue Silver Emperor appeared in front of Nangong.
While blocking his path, it also swept towards him.
"Big Brother!" Nanming exclaimed, his attack unexpectedly missing.
His expression immediately turned ugly.
Nangong looked at the Blue Silver Emperor appearing before him, frowning, somewhat curious as to what Ye Qiu's Spirit truly was.
Sensing the scorching aura of the dragon flame coming from behind him,
He no longer simply fled.
His second spirit ring flashed beneath his feet, and he lifted the greatbow in his hand and slashed downwards.
Second Spirit Ability, Bow Like a Long Blade!
Whoosh! Bang!
The blood-red greatbow slashed downwards, and a crescent-shaped blade qi flew forward, instantly shattering Liu Erlong's dragon flame.
For a moment, it obscured Liu Erlong's vision.
"Big Brother! Watch your back!"
Hearing Nanming's voice, he immediately turned his head.
When he turned around,
He saw several blue and red fruits, larger than watermelons, already formed in front of him, and his expression immediately darkened.
Ye Qiu smiled faintly.
He whispered, "Explode!"
Boom!
The Blue Silver Ice Fire Break instantly erupted in a massive explosion.
Then, Ye Qiu's brows furrowed again. He could clearly see that his Spirit Ability seemed to have caused little damage.
It only made him somewhat disheveled.
It seems that if he were to confront a Spirit Saint head-on, he wouldn't have much chance of winning against some battle-hardened powerhouses!
As he was about to enter the battlefield, Ye Qiu couldn't help but caution Liu Erlong beside him.
"Erlong, you need to be careful later!"
"Mm, I understand!" Liu Erlong's expression was serious, and she nodded quickly.
She no longer had the gentle demeanor she displayed in front of Ye Qiu.
Nangong had already activated his Martial Soul True Body.
Ye Qiu's attack had only caused some fluctuations in his vital energy.
But being slightly injured by a brat still made him very displeased.
He immediately jumped onto a tree branch and stood with Nanming.
Soon after Ye Qiu and Liu Erlong stepped into this jungle, Nangong roared at his side.
"Nanming, Spirit Fusion Skill!"
"Understood, Big Brother!"
Nangong called out.
Nanming also reacted, immediately standing back-to-back with his elder brother.
Nangong's Spirit ascended into the sky, and seven spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, rose from beneath his feet.
The arrow in Nanming's hand also rapidly ascended, his six spirit rings encircling it.
"Not good!"
Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat, and his right eye immediately looked upwards.
Crimson blood flowed down as it suddenly opened.
"!!!" Nangong felt his scalp tingle. Without thinking, he immediately grabbed Nanming by the collar and swiftly moved to another tree.
Bang~
As soon as they left, the original tree trunk immediately caught fire with black flames. In an instant, that branch snapped off.
Liu Erlong also immediately entered her Martial Soul True Body state.
But the dense trees somewhat restricted her movement.
She could only spit a mouthful of dragon flame towards Nangong and Nanming.
Whoosh!
Unfortunately, it was too late.
As fraternal twins, their Spirits were originally one.
Their compatibility was beyond question!
A blood-red arrow shot directly towards the dragon flame.
The dragon flame exploded.
A complete Heavenly Punisher floated in the sky.
Thirteen spirit rings floated beneath it.
"Amaterasu!" Ye Qiu used Amaterasu again, but it was blocked by a transparent light screen.
This kid's Spirit Ability is so bizarre!
Nangong glanced at Ye Qiu indifferently.
A burly figure appeared behind the two brothers, seemingly a combination of the two.
After a dazzling flash of blood-red light,
A long-haired, burly man, holding a complete Heavenly Punisher, appeared.
Under Ye Qiu's Sharingan observation, that terrifying spirit power was almost comparable to a Titled Douluo!
"This is bad!" Ye Qiu's expression was somewhat grave.
"Kid, you have great potential. How about joining us?"
A composite voice of Nangong and Nanming sounded, and the burly man actually extended an olive branch to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu, however, did not immediately refuse.
He also wanted to obtain some information about them and their objectives.
"What can I gain by joining you, and what must I give in return?"
Liu Erlong stood by, listening quietly, with no intention of interrupting Ye Qiu.
"Hehe… Join us, and you can witness the birth of Divinity! You can change this unfair World, and you will gain everything you desire!"
The long-haired burly man held up his hands, looking at the sky as if praising his faith, somewhat fanatically.
Then he looked at Ye Qiu and slowly said:
"And you only need to offer your loyalty! Contribute a portion of your strength to our cause!"
Ye Qiu frowned tightly.
Becoming a God?!
Does he mean inheriting a God Position, or creating one's own God Position?
"How can Divinity be born?"
"Hehe…"
The red-haired burly man sneered, not answering Ye Qiu's question.
He raised the longbow in his hand.
Beneath his feet, Nangong's third, fourth, and seventh spirit rings flashed. (Myriad Arrows Piercing Heart, Blood Arrow Sky Curtain, Martial Soul True Body)
As well as Nanming's third spirit ring. (Chaotic Arrow Confinement)
"Fusion Skill · Anti-Air Arrow Domain!"
As the hoarse voice fell, blood arrows ascended into the sky.
A bad feeling came over him, and Ye Qiu immediately tried to use Kamui to transfer it.
However, his Kamui seemed to have failed.
How could this be?!
"Erlong!"
Ye Qiu didn't hesitate and immediately called out.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Blazing Dragon Gale!"
Bang!
A dragon flame, like a fiery dragon, was spat out, rapidly charging towards the long-haired burly man (referred to as: Nangong Ming!).
Wherever it passed, trees along the way continuously collapsed with explosive sounds.
Boom!
"How could this be?!"
Liu Erlong watched the scene in shock.
Nangong Ming was actually surrounded by arrows she couldn't detect, constantly flying around him.
Ye Qiu used Amaterasu on him and the arrows he fired, but couldn't even injure them!
"Space Ability!"
Ye Qiu's face darkened.
"Haha… Have you noticed? When using this Spirit Ability, I am no longer in the same space as you!"
Nangong Ming laughed loudly.
Crackling!
The blood-red arrows rapidly ascended into the sky, exploding like fireworks.
But when they fell, they transformed into a sky full of arrows.
Ye Qiu was about to use his phasing ability to dodge, but he found that he couldn't use Kamui!
"Damn it!" Ye Qiu's face was grim.
Aside from facing Dugu Bo, he had never encountered such a situation before!
It seems he still underestimated the Spirit Masters of this World!
Swish!
Without time to think, a large amount of Blue Silver Emperor completely enveloped Ye Qiu.
Liu Erlong, meanwhile, surged her spirit power to strengthen the defense of her dragon scales.
The sky full of arrows, however, in Ye Qiu's surprised gaze,
Slowly merged into the void, and there were even wisps of blood-red fine lines, locking this space.
"Kid, did you feel it? Your space ability has failed!" Nangong Ming narrowed his eyes, looking at Ye Qiu triumphantly.
"My Anti-Air Arrow Domain has made this space completely independent, isolating it from interaction with other spaces."
Nangong Ming quietly looked at Ye Qiu and spoke again: "I won't tell you your questions! Make your choice, and Miss Liu, I suggest you also surrender quickly!"
"Never!"
Liu Erlong let out a delicate cry and immediately spat out a mouthful of dragon flame.
Nangong Ming leaped away from that position.
Ye Qiu's eyes lit up!
It seems that what he just said about being in a different space from them was just a special protective mechanism when using a Spirit Ability!
Ye Qiu immediately followed up by hitting him with an Amaterasu!
Swish!
Nangong Ming dodged, but he had already hidden behind a large tree, continuously increasing the distance between himself and Ye Qiu and Liu Erlong.
"It seems you two have made your choice!"
Nangong Ming leaned against the tree. He had also lost his patience.
Maintaining this barrier consumed a lot of his spirit power, and its range was not large, only thirty meters in radius.
If he or the enemy went beyond this range, then this Spirit Ability would be useless.
And Ye Qiu's Sharingan had already clearly seen this point.
The blood-red spirit power permeating the void disappeared beyond thirty meters.
His heart was slightly at ease!
Swish!
Nangong Ming poked his head out.
Beneath his feet, the sixth spirit rings of both Nangong and Nanming flashed separately.
"Blood Dragon Poison Arrow!"
Two arrows, surprisingly, attacked Ye Qiu and Liu Erlong separately.
These were the poison arrows used to assassinate Qian Renxue!
"It's not over yet!" Nangong Ming muttered, and his spirit rings flashed again beneath his feet.
He shot another arrow, a sky full of arrows, and between the arrows, there were even blood-red sharp threads connecting them.
The treetops were easily sliced off.
"Amaterasu!"
Ye Qiu activated Amaterasu, and the two blood-red arrows were already burnt to ashes on their way.
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Soaring Flame!"
"Roar~!" The crimson dragon in the sky roared, and a dragon flame storm suddenly swept around its body!
And it exploded outwards and upwards.
The blood-red arrow rain was blown away.
But the blood-red threads had already cut through the crimson dragon's outstretched wings.
Pain also flashed across Liu Erlong's face.
Ye Qiu looked at the constantly collapsing trees around him, and his Susanoo, which was on the verge of shattering.
He touched the wound on his face, cut by the threads.
His Sharingan looked at Nangong Ming, who had moved to another position.
His expression was somewhat helpless!
He waved his hand towards the sky.
"Erlong, come down!"
"Ah?" Liu Erlong, who was about to rush forward, looked at him in confusion, somewhat puzzled.
"Listen to me, trust me, it'll be fine!" Ye Qiu smiled mysteriously.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong, half-believing, deactivated her Spirit possession. There were some bloody marks on both of her arms.
"Ye Qiu~"
Liu Erlong came to Ye Qiu's side.
Ye Qiu held her soft hand in his.
"What is this guy trying to do?!" Nangong Ming frowned. Hidden behind the tree, he naturally saw this scene too.
Today's ten thousand words update is complete.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
