"Sir, leave this human to us."

Seeing Fu She take an interest in Ye Qiu, a minor lord came over, licking his dry lips at Ye Qiu, envisioning him as a sumptuous meal.

"Alright."

Fu She agreed suddenly. He couldn’t size up Ye Qiu’s power, so letting others test him would be good.

Hearing Fu She agree, the minor lord walked towards Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu completely ignored him and looked at Tai Shan, speaking calmly, "Are you alright?"

Tai Shan wiped his mouth, chuckled despite the smile causing him great pain, but stubbornly replied, "Nothing much, a pity I couldn’t take care of those few guys for you."

"It’s okay, you’re not capable of dealing with them alone. I’ll handle them," Ye Qiu smiled.

The minor lord had walked over, and upon hearing Ye Qiu intending to deal with them, he couldn’t help but laugh loudly: "Such arrogance, countless humans have become my food, and this morsel plans to kill me, what a joke."

"A joke..." Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, this guy, constantly calling him food, had long enraged Ye Qiu. Today he would make this minor lord understand who truly was the food.

With a tap of his foot, Ye Qiu moved.

At that moment, Fu She’s brow furrowed deeper, because the instant Ye Qiu made his move, it startled him.

His silhouette couldn’t be seen. The minor lord sensed Ye Qiu’s attack, yet remained motionless, scrutinizing his surroundings, seeking Ye Qiu’s figure.

"Where are you?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

His attention shifted sharply, suddenly a smile appeared on his face as he laughed: "I’ve found you."

Straightaway, he flickered away, disappearing into the air.

"Die!"

He struck at a section of void. He was certain Ye Qiu was hiding there, undoubtedly his strike wasn’t weak. As energy exploded, numerous voids fragmented like crushed eggshells, then tore apart fiercely.

However, his gaze didn’t reveal joy; he realized there was no corpse of Ye Qiu after the strike, not even a scrap of clothing remained.

This shouldn’t be the case.

If there was nothing, there was only one possibility.

Just then, the minor lord saw the faces of several other lords across from him, their expressions filled with shock.

Could it be...

Suddenly, a hand landed on the minor lord’s neck. As he turned around, he realized Ye Qiu was behind him.

"You... how come... behind... me!"

Ye Qiu’s face showed a cold smile, leaning towards his ear: "Go ask King Yan."

Crack!

His neck was snapped, and simply this wouldn’t suffice to cause complete demise for one of the Saint Realm’s power. Next, everyone saw Ye Qiu’s hand transform into a hammer, directly smashing the head.

His soul shattered, thus naturally he perished.

Ye Qiu clapped his hands, wiping the blood on the corpse until clean before pushing the body aside, letting it fall.

A minor lord of the Saint Realm was casually killed just like that.

Many people saw this scene, especially the other minor lords, who at this point looked at Ye Qiu with deep fear in their eyes.

Ye Qiu’s aura, even though not overpowering, gave a sense of oppression with his strength.

Like how he effortlessly eliminated a minor lord previously; typically, only those in the Saint Realm could achieve such ease.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s power, none of the other minor lords dared to volunteer to attack Ye Qiu, all retreated a few steps, trying to turn this problem over to Fu She.

After all, Fu She was most eager to seize this place.

Resolving this territory would mean all lands within thousands of miles would fall under his governance, turning him into the new Chi Hu.

From the moment Ye Qiu struck, Fu She predicted that the Saint Realm level minor lord would not be a match for Ye Qiu. Sure enough, Ye Qiu indeed triumphed, and effortlessly so, from beginning to end, using only two strikes, snapping the neck and smashing the head.

Clean and swift.

"You should know, one who could kill the Golden Leopard couldn’t possibly fail to kill your men," Ye Qiu said calmly. His voice was not loud but reached everyone’s ears.

And upon hearing this sentence, the remaining minor lords all had a reaction. Ye Qiu’s words clearly meant that Fu She knew Ye Qiu had killed the Golden Leopard, yet still let them attack, wasn’t that just sending them to their deaths indirectly.

"Are you trying to sow discord between me and them?" Fu She saw the minor lords’ expressions change after Ye Qiu spoke, instantly realizing Ye Qiu was undermining him.

No matter how he justified, as someone had already perished at Ye Qiu’s hands, and Fu She hadn’t stopped it, the remaining minor lords would certainly harbor resentment.

But on second thought, as long as he disposed of Ye Qiu, what would resentment matter to the remaining minor lords, as long as he was strong enough, they would have to obey his orders.

Thinking this, Fu She didn’t care about his relationship with the minor lords anymore; in this world, only great power ensured a better life, and without tremendous power, even good relationships would fracture due to certain interests.

"Your strength is good. I come here, not really wanting to kill you. If you’re willing to submit to me, serve as my master, I can let you stay here, even become a lord. How about it?" Fu She changed his tune, not dwelling on the previous matter.

"However, I don’t like listening to others, much less submitting to anyone. You might be disappointed." Ye Qiu said calmly.

"In that case, I can only take action." Fu She sighed.

If Ye Qiu could yield to him, he wouldn’t mind letting Ye Qiu remain as his think tank, even let Ye Qiu step forward to become a lord.

However, Ye Qiu refused him.

He was challenging Fu She’s authority, originally the new Great Lord. If he couldn’t resolve Ye Qiu, how could he convince the other minor lords?

This battle was inevitable.

"Seems like I can only kill you, to establish my Great Lord’s authority," Fu She said, taking off his coat and walked forward, his aura bursting forth like a bomb, spreading across the scene.

He stared at Ye Qiu, speaking calmly: "Make your move."

Ye Qiu clenched his fists, eyes gleaming with excitement. A fight with a Martial Artist of Saint Realm was no longer challenging to him. He had grown accustomed over these days of continually confronting Chi Hu.

He anticipated facing a Saint without resorting to dark powers, to test his true strength, how far he could reach, where his limits were; Ye Qiu truly wanted to try.

Wondering if Fu She before him could satisfy him?
