Chapter 654: Two Tigers Fight, Ye Qing Wins All

The Vigorous Bull Demon was one of the thirteen demon gods of the Nether. Its body was as tough as metal, and conventional weapons could not put even a scratch on its skin. It favored strength and could move mountains as easily as flipping its palm.

Of course, the thirteen demon gods of the Nether were immeasurably powerful. Few people possessed the right or the ability to command them. That was why the Vigorous Bull Demon Su Xiu summoned was just a projection imbued with a sliver of its power and not the demon god itself. Even so, the projection’s power could not be underestimated.

“That’s right. It is I.”

Su Xiu was looking a little pale right now. His hand where his finger was bleeding profusely, though he couldn’t seem to feel it for some reason. Not only that, the blood disappeared into thin air as it dripped.

“You should’ve figured it out sooner though.” A cruel look overcame his features. “Kill them.”

Upon hearing Su Xiu’s command, the Vigorous Bull Demon let out an angry roar. The two snakes tangled around his shoulders stood up and spat ghastly flames and black water at Dream Master and Dancer respectively. At the same time, the Vigorous Bull Demon raised its foot to stomp the duo into the ground.

Dream Master and Dancer were like ants before the humongous projection. When its foot finally struck the duo, the ground within a hundred meters of the point of impact was shattered like a mirror.

That wasn’t all. The Vigorous Bull Demon raised both of its fists and began pounding at the duo like it was beating a drum.

For a time, the earth shook, the sky shuddered, and the dust clouds blotted out everything.

“Is this all the Eight Legions could do? How disappointing.”

Su Xiu’s eyes oozed with disdain when he saw how easily the Vigorous Bull Demon had overwhelmed Dream Master and Dancer.

“Is that so?”

A gentle, melodious voice responded, and the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist suddenly came to a halt as if it was blocked by something. The demon god roared furiously, but no matter how hard it pushed, it was unable to overcome whatever its enemies’ defense.

When the dust clouds settled a little, the trio finally realized that the object blocking the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist... was another fist.

The owner of the fist was none other than Dream Master.

Dream Master was an ant compared to the Vigorous Bull Demon, much less his fist. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his fist was as small as a speck of dust.

And yet, there was no denying that an ant-sized human had stopped the Vigorous Bull Demon’s assault; that a dust-sized fist that had stopped the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist dead in its tracks.

That was just the beginning. Su Xiu and the others watched in astonishment as Dream Master slowly pushed upward and forced the Vigorous Bull Demon’s fist away from him. The humiliating sight caused the demon god to roar furiously and hatefully at Dream Master, but no matter what it did, it couldn’t stop its back from straightening, couldn’t stop Dream Master from pushing it away.

After Dream Master had pushed back against the Vigorous Bull Demon three inches, he abruptly waved his hand like he was brushing away the dust on his shirt. Caught off guard by the sudden burst of strength, the demon god lost its footing and fell on its back.

For a time, silence permeated the air. No one could quite believe what they just saw.

The battle grew more and more intense, but it would be a while before the victors were decided.

......

“What are they doing?”

Ye Qing was sitting on top of a broken wall and staring at the two groups with a strange expression.

Giggle was also copying Ye Qing’s behavior and tilting his head at the distant groups.

From Ye Qing’s perspective, Su Xiu and Dream Master were “calmly” threatening the fuck out of each other when suddenly, they fell completely still. They just stood there like they were statues, and no one was saying a word.

The tension was razor sharp just now. I thought for sure you guys are gonna fight each other to the death, so why aren’t you fighting?

Why are you just standing there like you had suddenly fallen asleep?

This is fucking bullshit!

Ye Qing couldn’t begin to describe how puzzled and miffed he was. He was puzzled because he didn’t know what the hell was going on with the duo, and he was miffed because he couldn’t play the fisherman if they didn’t fight.

Yes, Ye Qing’s plan was very simple. He was going to let the sandpiper and the clam wear each other out before he destroyed them both.

Su Xiu had picked up Nanke not because he got dogshit lucky, but because Ye Qing had made it so.

First, he leaked Nanke’s presence and drew Dream Master and Dancer toward Su Xiu. A moment before they arrived, he dropped Nanke in Su Xiu’s path.

That was how Su Xiu came across Nanke.

However, there was a chance Su Xiu might not recognize Nanke. Not everyone was as well-read as him after all. So, how could he make Su Xiu recognize its value?

He left that up to Black Lord and White Lord. It hadn’t taken much effort at all to persuade the two artifact spirits to put up an act, and all it cost was a simple request.

Thanks to Black Lord and White Lord, Su Xiu quickly recognized the true value of Nanke and became greedy. He no longer felt like giving it up to anyone.

Right after that, Dream Master and Dancer showed up. What followed next was a series of threats and counter threats.

Just in case Su Xiu succumbed to Dream Master’s threat and surrendered Nanke, Ye Qing used his demonic thought to enlarge his greed and his obsession.

It worked. Negotiations had broken down just a few minutes later.
