Supernatural Insight Eyes

Ye Qiu fled in all directions, but the Hound kept close on his heels and could not be shaken off.

In fact, when faced with the Hound, Ye Qiu did have a way out. For example, he could use the Emperor’s Demonization Avatar; with the strength of that demonic body, combined with the Bahuang Sword or the Taihuang Bell, it was possible to kill the Hound.

But Ye Qiu just couldn’t bring himself to strike.

It wasn’t that his strength was lacking; it was that this psychological hurdle was too hard to cross.

So Ye Qiu didn’t want to clash with him and hurriedly tried to leave.

But Di Nantian would never allow Ye Qiu to escape. He had said he would capture Ye Qiu and restore Heaven Palace’s dignity.

Under his will, the Hound naturally pursued relentlessly.

Whoosh.

Ye Qiu landed on a withered, dead planet. The Hound followed close behind and launched a ferocious attack. Ye Qiu couldn’t dodge and could only defend passively.

The Hound after being blackened truly wasn’t weak; three bloody claw marks instantly appeared on Ye Qiu’s arm.

Di Nantian followed in their wake. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Ye Qiu, why don’t you use your supreme treasures? Can’t bring yourself to strike?"

Di Nantian hit the mark with a single sentence; Ye Qiu was indeed just as he said—unable to unleash the Assassin’s blade.

He glanced at Di Nantian in the distance, then fled far away once more. Di Nantian’s voice came again: "You can’t escape."

The Hound’s tracking art was too strong. Even if Ye Qiu hid inside the Taihuang Bell, it could still lock onto his position.

This shocked Ye Qiu.

Later he thought that it was very likely because the blood flowing in both their bodies belonged to the Dugusu clan, so the other could sense his existence. Thus even if he hid inside the Taihuang Bell, he would be quickly found.

In that case, hiding in the Taihuang Bell was pointless.

Not wanting to fight, yet unable to hide or shake him off, Ye Qiu felt extremely irritated. That feeling, like having someone grip his seven-inch vital spot, spread through his heart.

Whoosh.

This time, Ye Qiu stopped running. He suddenly spun around and stared straight at the Hound.

The Hound’s eyes were always filled with ice. There was only killing intent in his gaze; he acted entirely according to Di Nantian’s commands, vowing not to rest until Ye Qiu was dead.

"What, you want to slaughter your own now?" Di Nantian’s voice rang out again.

Falling into Ye Qiu’s ears, it was extremely grating. This bastard was deliberately disturbing his mind, making it impossible for him to stay calm.

Since he had made up his mind, he would not hesitate. Now he could only harden his heart and break the situation before him.

Just as Di Nantian had said, he had to take the Hound out.

Even if they were of the same clan, at this moment there was no other way.

The Hound turned into a streak of black shadow, pouncing forward. His attack was sharper than lightning, and especially after being blackened, combined with that power of blackening, he was even more terrifying than an ordinary Celestial-tier powerhouse.

Ye Qiu sighed inwardly. At the last instant as the Hound drew near, he suddenly used the Emperor’s Demonization Avatar, directly gripping the Bahuang Sword and, at an even faster speed, pierced through the Hound’s skull.

Pffft!

Blood sprayed three feet high!

The Hound’s palm stopped an inch in front of Ye Qiu’s eyes. Just a bit more, and he would have gouged Ye Qiu’s eyes out.

Yet that short inch became an unbridgeable chasm—became eternity.

Ye Qiu withdrew the Bahuang Sword and placed one hand over the Hound’s eyes, saying faintly, "Rest in peace. I know you’re very tired. Don’t worry, I’ll avenge you."

As he spoke, his palm gently stroked down. The Hound’s eyes closed; his aura completely faded, the blackening dispersed, revealing a deathly pale face.

Di Nantian stared at Ye Qiu at this moment, a look of surprise appearing on his face. He said calmly, "No wonder you could kill Celestial-tier powerhouses. So this is the reason."

He fixed his gaze on the Emperor’s demonic body, feeling the demon’s aura.

In his heart, he understood why Ye Qiu could slay so many Celestial-tier experts—because he had the Emperor’s demonic body at his disposal, his strength naturally skyrocketed.

"Next, it’s your turn!"

After killing the Hound, Ye Qiu flicked his palm. A surge of flame rose up, cremating the corpse, turning it into ashes that scattered through the cosmos.

Once the Hound was dealt with, Ye Qiu locked his eyes firmly on Di Nantian.

"Heh, still want to kill me?" Di Nantian smiled. "But you can even kill your own clansman; you really are ruthless and vicious."

Di Nantian mocked, but Ye Qiu didn’t care. His original intent had of course not been to kill the Hound. However, if he didn’t, this would never end—and the next time they met, it would be the same problem.

Rather than that, it was better to harden his heart and resolve it on the spot.

This could also be considered helping the Hound gain release.

"I killed him, and in his heart he’ll definitely thank me. You are the true culprit behind his death." Ye Qiu pointed at Di Nantian and said.

Di Nantian let out a cold laugh. In his eyes, the Hound’s death was insignificant—just like a dog dying. He said blandly, "So what if I killed him? He was my dog to begin with. I’ve got plenty more dogs like him. When I capture you, I’ll turn you into the same thing. Don’t you think ’Hound’ is a name that suits you too?"

"To train a member of the Dugusu clan into my Hound—that’s quite a challenging little project."

Di Nantian’s mind seemed a little twisted, with a fetish for "training." Hearing this made the veins on Ye Qiu’s forehead bulge.

"Very angry, are you? But I really do enjoy the way you look when you’re angry." Di Nantian laughed loudly, then vanished silently on the spot.

The next second, he appeared in front of Ye Qiu and grabbed Ye Qiu’s neck with one hand.

Beside them, the demon body avatar still hadn’t reacted.

Di Nantian’s calm voice sounded: "Did you think that by killing one of my dogs, you could kill me? Since I lost one, you’ll make up the number."

Ye Qiu’s neck was gripped so tightly that even his blood flow was obstructed; his face flushed red.

The Emperor’s demonic body rushed over at once, but Di Nantian’s other hand suddenly lifted and swatted it flying.

This level of power made Ye Qiu’s eyes widen.

Di Nantian looked at Ye Qiu’s shocked expression and said lightly, "Very surprised? Does my strength make you feel despair?"

"I made a promise that I’d capture you and show you to my little brothers and sisters. If I don’t catch you, they’ll be so disappointed in me. So, you’re not getting away."

A cold, cruel smile appeared on Di Nantian’s face. Ye Qiu was completely restrained, unable to break free. Standing before Di Nantian, he felt a profound helplessness.

"You’re a Dao Lord?"

Ye Qiu forced out the words with difficulty, asking.

Di Nantian shook his head with a smile. "For a half-baked piece of trash like you, there’s no need for a Dao Lord. How could a mere ant be worth a Dao Lord making a move?"

Di Nantian wasn’t at the Dao Lord realm, yet he could leave Ye Qiu with almost no room to fight back. That made it easy to guess.

The other party should be in the late Celestial stage, or at the very peak of the Celestial stage.

Within the realm of the Celestial tier, each minor stage difference meant an enormous gap in strength.

"Next, I’ll turn you into my new Hound. You’d better get yourself mentally prepared." Di Nantian’s voice drifted over faintly, chilling to the bone.
