Chapter 466: My Name Is Ye Qing, And I Always Keep My Promises
You killed the prince, and now youre plotting to kill the princess as well? Audacious, reprehensible criminal! You deserve death!
The first thing Zhou Hengshan did after removing Chu Qingge from the equation was to slander the crap out of Ye Qing. Then, he threw a punch faster than the eyes could blink. The flames and smokes of war rose to the sky, and the battle cries of men filled the ears. It felt like they were in the middle of a war zone.
It is easy to find a stick to beat a dog, Ye Qing sneered despite his pallid complexion and tearing flesh. Then, an unbelievable amount of blood and qi poured out of his wounds. They felt as terrible and forceful as Zhou Hengshans Men of War.
As Ye Qing became taller, and iron-like fur grew out of his skin, the wounds too widened until they looked like cracks on a wall. One could see clearly into his body and his bright red blood roaring swiftly like molten lava. Right here and now, he resembled a human-shaped volcano.
When Ye Qing threw his own punch, it was like a volcano was erupting. The heavens turned crimson, and the ground tore itself asunder. Then, the powers clashed. Red and black dominated one half of the sky like yin and yang, evening and twilight.
Although Chu Qingges sudden appearance forced Zhou Hengshan to withdraw the large majority of his energies, and he was in so much hurry to kill Ye Qing that he didnt bother regathering his power, he was still a Grandmaster. Just a few breaths later, the red energy began crumbling and receding toward Ye Qing.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion, and the red energy abruptly shattered into smithereens. The resulting shockwave tossed ye Qing backward as helplessly as a rag doll.
You think you can fight me with your heretical magic? Foolish scum. Zhou Hengshan sneered disdainfully after sending Ye Qing flying.
He was a Grandmaster and a war veteran, so of course he recognized that Ye Qing had temporarily boosted his power using some sort of heretical art. He didnt care though. No matter how bright the firefly shone, it could never compare to the moon.
Zhou Hengshan rushed forward to finish the job, but he had just taken a single step when his sixth sense suddenly warned him of danger. Before he could identify what it was, a pair of explosions even greater than the one earlier erupted directly beneath his feet. Like glass, everything within hundreds of meters of the general abruptly shattered into pieces.
This was just the beginning, however. A greater power burst out of the earth and transformed the whole place into a sea of fire and molten lava. Unlike a normal fire, this one was filled with the aura of death, epidermic, desolation and more.
Hong Jianglong and Chu Hao took no damage because they were standing far enough to react to the sudden explosion. They hurriedly shielded Chu Qingge, Granny Ghost and Grandpa Wasp from harm and withdrew to safety.
However, Zhou Hengshen was caught off guard and standing right at the center of the explosions. He was engulfed before he could react in any way.
The Hanbas blood essence?
Chu Hao blanched a little as he identified its source. If it was him standing at the center of the explosion instead of Zhou Hengshan, he didnt think he would live to see tomorrows sun. At the very least, he would be grievously wounded for months, maybe even years to come.
How did Ye Qing come by the Hanbas blood essence?
The same question crossed everyones mind, but no one could answer it. They could only stare at the sea of fire and lava with varying expressions on their faces.
A shame, Hong Jianglong suddenly spoke up and shook his head with regret.
Shame, what? Chu Hao asked, puzzled.
He refused to believe that was the truth. He rejected it wholeheartedly.
He wanted Zhou Hengshan and the mastermind who had been watching from behind the curtains all this time to know that he, Ye Qing, was no ill cat they might toy as they pleased. No, he was a tiger. A man-eating tiger.
Ye Qing!
Zhou Hengshan uttered through gritted teeth and slowly made his way toward Ye Qing once more. When he planted his right foot on the waters, it slowly climbed taller and taller into the sky.
Ye Qing paid it no heed, however. As Zhou Hengshan came closer and closer, Ye Qing smiled and declared strongly, I once swore that I would make all my evildoers pay their dues.
This is just the down payment, Zhou Hengshan. One day, I will make you pay for everything.
Remember this well. My name is Ye Qing, and I always keep my promises.
You think you have a future?
Zhou Hengshan raised both hands, and the blue waves stood parallel with the sky itself.
You wont have a future. You wont even have a next life!
Zhou Hengshan brought his arms down, and the waves finally crashed down on Ye Qing.
Sorry to disappoint you then.
Smirking, Ye Qing took one step backward and disappeared into a white fog. When did the fog appear? The waves crashed down on the spot where Ye Qing was a moment ago like a tsunami, but it was unable to scatter the thick fog.
Hmm?
That wasnt all. Zhou Hengshan realized with a frown that he was unable to peer through the fog with his eyes or his senses, much less locate Ye Qing.
Suddenly, a swarm of corpses entered his view. They slowly floated on the river, eerie and unsettling.
Fog? Corpses? Could it be the Corpse Ship?! Zhou Hengshan realized something and exclaimed in shock.
The next moment, he felt the fog slowly receding toward the distance.
1. Ye Qing seriously wouldve died if he had chosen to stall out that fight until Zhao Lan ran out of steam lol.
