Chapter 244: Unable To Stop In Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A palm made of source power shouldn’t be able to defeat a top-notch modified soldier like Ye Qingtian.
This was what everyone watching this fight thought. In their opinion, the battle between Luo Yunyang and Ye Qingtian had probably just started.
There were even some people who believed that the battle between them would last a considerable amount of time.
However, just as they were anticipating the outcome of the battle, they suddenly saw the snow-white hand slowly become bigger.
It kept growing until it formed a pair of arms, a torso, a pair of legs and a skull.
In just an instant, the hand had become a 300-meter tall giant. The body of the giant was as white as frost. As soon as it appeared, the temperature immediately dropped by 100 degrees.
Fortunately, the people standing around the Flying Swallow Lake were all top-notch powerhouses, so this change wouldn’t affect them too much.
However, Ye Qingtian, who was right at the heart of that temperature change, felt the speed at which his body moved drop by 50%.
As he was thinking about how to do his best, an immense sense of danger flooded his mind.
When he felt this sensation, Ye Qingtian felt his blood run cold. He knew that this feeling had originated from Luo Yunyang, but he simply wasn’t able to react to it right now.
“Please be merciful!” said Jin Zaitian.
However, his effort was too late. By the time he shouted out, Luo Yunyang’s palm had already swatted down hard.
Ye Qingtian, who had gone into his second mode, had full confidence in his defensive abilities. Besides taking the attacks of martial grandmasters, Ye Qingtian also had the confidence to withstand a taboo weapon’s strike.
However, when Luo Yunyang’s palm landed on him, he felt a rigidness penetrate his bones and flood his heart and mind. This chilling intent made his body become even harder, yet it also became increasingly harder for him to take even a single step.
He had been defeated!
Ye Qingtian felt a little sad. Although he wasn’t someone who couldn’t accept defeat, this defeat had come a little too soon.
Just as he was about to surrender, that huge palm had come smashing down at him. He suddenly felt a scorching sensation well up in his mind.
This sensation made him extremely uncomfortable. If he could, he would frantically tear up his whole body to get rid of this terrible pain.
However, he didn’t have the ability to do so.
In under a second, he felt various internal parts of his body start to burn up. This invisible burning sensation made Ye Qingtian feel extremely terrified.
How was this possible?
Ye Qingtian turned his eyes abruptly to Luo Yunyang, who was standing at the sidelines. Although Luo Yunyang was standing still calmly, Ye Qingtian could see a vague hint of killing intent in his eyes.
“You… You are trying to kill me!” Ye Qingtian said before roaring at the sky. “If you kill me, you will regret it! You will…”
As he was shouting, Ye Qingtian felt that scorching sensation burn his soul. As soon as this strange burning feeling took over, his vision turned dark in a flash.
BOOM!
Luo Yunyang’s giant palm fell, smashing the gigantic spider into bits and pieces in an instant.
Although the entire process seemed very slow when one tried to describe it, the top-notch experts there felt like everything had happened in the blink of an eye.
The elite powerhouses of the Sky High Military were aghast. As soon as their Viceroy had howled in anguish, they had sensed that something wasn’t right.
Given the circumstances, it was safe to say that things weren’t looking good.
A thought suddenly popped into the Sky High Dragon King’s heart—Luo Yunyang had really dared!
Bits and pieces of the spider’s body lay all over the ground lifelessly. When they noticed this, Lu Qubing and the others rushed over rapidly.
As Lu Qubing stared at the corpse, which no longer showed any signs of life, all sorts of emotions flickered in his eyes. Sadness, relief, even a hint of anger…
“Luo Yunyang! You killed the Viceroy, you…” the Sky High Tiger King snarled furiously as he pointed at Luo Yunyang.
As Luo Yunyang turned to face the furious Sky High Tiger King, he put on an innocent expression and said, “I wasn’t able to stop in time during our duel!”
This was the excuse he used.
All the martial grandmasters present, who had abundant experience with duels, could tell that Luo Yunyang hadn’t used his full strength during the fight.
If he hadn’t gone all out, then he definitely couldn’t have miscalculated.
A deadly silence enveloped the area as countless eyes turned to Luo Yunyang, Jin Zaitian and the Sky High Military’s Four Kings.
“He killed the Viceroy! He is the Sky High Military’s mortal enemy. Kill him! Kill him, Boss! Mobilize the taboo weapons and kill him!” the Sky High Tiger King snarled in a deranged fashion. He looked as if he had gone mad.
Luo Yunyang, who seemed to have turned a deaf ear to the Sky High Tiger King’s deranged cries, remained completely calm. Some of the people around Jin Zaitian had started to tense up.
A heavy slap suddenly landed on the Sky High Tiger King’s face. The Sky High Tiger King, who was caught off guard, nearly smashed into the ground.
He clutched his face in disbelief, his eyes full of anger and embarrassment.
“Big Brother, you… you hit me!”
“Yes, I did. Stop speaking without thinking. Injuries and death are inevitable during a duel!” the Sky High Dragon King said icily. “The Viceroy and Commissar Luo surrendered their lives before entering this duel, so shouting in this manner is just disgraceful!”
The Sky High Tiger King looked like he wanted to say something, but the Sky High Leopard King, who stood right next to him, grabbed his arm and shook it.
The Sky High Tiger King finally understood. Ye Qingtian’s death had already affected the strength of the Sky High Military.
Given the circumstances, their priority wouldn’t be seeking revenge, but ensuring their own safety.
The Sky High King inhaled sharply, calming himself down with some difficulty. He silently repeated the following saying to himself —”One should bide one’s time and wait for the right opportunity to seek vengeance!”
One should bide one’s time and wait for the right opportunity to seek vengeance!
This saying allowed the Sky High Tiger King to stabilize his state of mind a little. However, he suddenly heard Luo Yunyang say, “Although I slipped up, I believe that I must have won that duel.”
Luo Yunyang had won. There would no longer be any more disputes, since Ye Qingtian was already dead. This issue was over.
“Of course you won!” Jin Zaitian glanced at Luo Yunyang, looking a little piqued.
“If I’ve won, then we should stick to our agreement,” Luo Yunyang told Jin Zaitian boldly.
The moment he did, the Sky High Tiger King and everyone else scowled. That son of a b*tch was really shameless. He had been given an inch, yet he wanted a mile!
