Chapter 2239 - 2240: Escaped? Second Update
As Empress Luan attacked, Ye Qiu felt a chill in his heart. She was the first female celestial-level powerhouse he had ever encountered.
Empress Luan didn’t look very old, perhaps around thirty, dressed in something like a trench coat, covering herself completely without revealing any part of her body.
She seemed like an extremely conservative woman.
Yet, this woman with a somewhat traditional demeanor erupted with an astonishing aura, creating a peculiar feeling.
As if she were a bolt of lightning.
With a flicker, Ye Qiu dodged the recent attack.
Empress Luan completed her strike in the blink of an eye, her speed was incredibly fast.
A terrifying woman indeed.
Ye Qiu had never seen such a powerful woman, her attacks were like thunder, not at all like a woman, more like a man than a man.
"A Supreme Saint level member of the Dugu clan, I won’t let you go, from now on, you are mine." Empress Luan licked her fiery red lips sensually.
When she said this, the implication felt like a woman teasing a man.
Emperor Fire and Emperor Inch watched the scene coldly, Empress Luan’s words also reached their ears, but this kind of talk could only truly be understood by the children of the Heavenly Emperor.
The Dugu clan had significant importance to them.
A Dugu clan member capable of corruption was far more important than those sacred medicines.
Because they could extract Bloodline Power from corrupted Dugu clan members, treasures capable of tremendously boosting their power.
Ye Qiu, in front of them, was undoubtedly a precious humanoid sacred medicine. As long as they captured Ye Qiu, extracting the Bloodline Power from him, both Emperor Fire and Emperor Inch might advance further.
Looking at the woman before him, a glint of madness flickered in her eyes, Ye Qiu felt no joy in his heart but rather bouts of coldness.
From the depths of Empress Luan’s eyes, he saw cruelty, madness, slaughter.
Ye Qiu vaguely understood that Empress Luan’s earlier words surely hinted at wanting to extract his corruption power to boost her cultivation.
She was akin to a black widow type of woman.
Highly poisonous!
Empress Luan looked at Ye Qiu with a meaningful smile, Ye Qiu disliked this look, responding blandly, "Psychotic."
"My prey, do you wish to struggle?"
Empress Luan’s figure disappeared again, only a waft of fragrance hit him head-on, making Ye Qiu somewhat dizzy. There was something wrong with this fragrance.
Shaking his head suddenly, Ye Qiu swiftly retreated, unwilling to get too close to Empress Luan, this woman was not only insane but also very sinister in her methods.
If Ye Qiu knew the idea of threatening him using the lives of Dugu clan members was precisely Empress Luan’s suggestion, he wouldn’t realize how accurate his guess was.
"Why are you dodging so far away? Afraid I’ll eat you?" Empress Luan smiled mockingly.
"I find you too ugly; being close to you makes me sick."
Ye Qiu retorted immediately.
Empress Luan’s smile froze, her tone turning cold, "Such words to a woman will make her very angry. Do you know what happens when a woman gets angry?"
"No matter the consequence, I still won’t get near you." Ye Qiu said bluntly.
Empress Luan’s smile completely vanished, "You’ve successfully angered me, prey."
Finished speaking, Empress Luan reached for Ye Qiu from afar. Instantly, Ye Qiu felt caught by a force, unable to move.
"Do you feel my terror now? In my hands, you can’t make a single wave." Empress Luan clenched her fist tightly, slowly pulling back her arm as Ye Qiu’s body was forced to move closer, that invisible force completely restrained him, rendering him immobile.
"Just as expected of Thirteenth Sister!"
"Once we lock this kid up, we’ll settle the score with him properly." Emperor Fire said coldly. Earlier, he had been sent flying by Ye Qiu, knowing Ye Qiu’s strength was superior to his, but he couldn’t accept it. As the Son of the Heavenly Emperor, being surpassed by a young junior was hard to stomach for anyone.
Therefore, if given the chance, he would surely torment Ye Qiu thoroughly to vent his wrath.
Empress Luan kept pulling Ye Qiu closer, as if he couldn’t stir any waves in her grasp.
The spectators clearly saw everything happening on the battlefield.
Especially now, as Ye Qiu was caught by Empress Luan and couldn’t break free, some assumed Ye Qiu was finished.
At this moment, a few smirked coldly, starting to ridicule, "His strength, though astonishing, doesn’t account for who he’s facing—that’s a celestial level! Even as a Supreme Saint, he can’t contend against such power; he’s too overconfident, landing him in this predicament of his own doing."
"Indeed, if I were him, I wouldn’t have shown up. I’d find a place to cultivate, revealing myself only when stronger—it’s not too late then. He misjudged his move, what a pity for this genius, falling into the Heavenly Palace; he might never appear again."
"Though I don’t have high hopes for this guy, I feel, as Ge Tian’s heir, he shouldn’t end like this."
"Don’t overestimate him. After all, the opponent is a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor. What does Ge Tian’s legacy amount to in front of the Heavenly Emperor? Didn’t you know when numerous sects sent young talents to Earth for Ge Tian’s opportunities, only the Heavenly Palace’s geniuses didn’t go?"
"That’s simply because the Heavenly Palace never valued Ge Tian’s legacy."
Upon hearing this, some reconsidered and realized it might be true. The Heavenly Palace has existed for a long time, far outweighing the depth of a mere Ge Tian legacy; otherwise, it wouldn’t thrive eternally in the cosmos.
Just as people expressed their views, Empress Luan already dragged Ye Qiu before her.
Though it seemed the situation was sealed, with Ye Qiu successfully captured, suddenly, Ye Qiu’s body dissipated into gas, escaping Empress Luan’s grip.
Following that, with a loud bang, Empress Luan’s figure soared away.
What!
Emperor Fire and Emperor Inch were both dumbfounded, and the surrounding audience was shocked into silence.
Ye Qiu held onto the Taihuang Bell, having just smashed it with a fierce strike, catching Empress Luan off guard—she never expected Ye Qiu could break free from her restraints.
玄黄肉身 came into significant play at this crucial moment.
With the Taihuang Bell striking that impactful blow, Empress Luan was left bewildered.
Ye Qiu didn’t pursue his victory as now wasn’t the time for life and death; his gaze shifted upward, and Miao Shan, seeing Ye Qiu temporarily free from crisis, immediately communicated with the middle-aged man.
Afterward, the two suddenly plunged downward, arriving before Ye Qiu in the blink of an eye. Ye Qiu had already prepared the Taihuang Bell, enveloped them, and with a flash of light, they all entered.
Subsequently, the Taihuang Bell expanded infinitely, under the infusion of vast energy from three people, breaking through the sealing force and disappearing instantly.
