Chapter 2123 - 2124: Another Gamble! Second Update

Not long after the duel between Ye Qiu and Fu Tian ended, the Taiyi Saint Heir has arrived to avenge Fu Tian.

In the mind of the Taiyi Saint Heir, Fu Tian was nothing but a small pawn, a tool to be used. Even though Fu Tian declared he was under Taiyi’s command, Ye Qiu still killed him, and this was the main reason Taiyi came.

Originally, he had wanted to recruit Ye Qiu, but as Ye Qiu showed him no respect, the Taiyi Saint Heir was unreserved.

If he couldn’t be used, then he might as well be killed.

The moment the Taiyi Saint Heir made his move, a spectacle of multicolored lights emerged, appearing very sacred.

A Buddhist fist!

A Daoist boxing technique, masterfully executed by the Taiyi Saint Heir, radiating a miraculous power that left onlookers astonished.

"This is the ancient technique of the Great Buddha Sect, which once dominated a planet and was renowned for a time, only to later decline. Unexpectedly, the Taiyi Saint Heir has obtained a cultivation technique from the Great Buddha Sect!" someone exclaimed, recognizing the origin of the technique. Those who heard were all amazed, the Great Buddha Sect, whose disciples traveled among the planets, leaving many legends, yet their sect’s cultivation techniques were mastered by few. Unexpectedly, the Taiyi Saint Heir had dabbled and mastered a formidable set of techniques.

"This technique is called the Five-Light Divine Fist. If you die under this technique, you can rest in peace," the Taiyi Saint Heir said calmly, as if already sentencing Ye Qiu to death.

To say this to a martial artist of the same realm indicates the Taiyi Saint Heir’s deep understanding of this technique’s power, and his immense confidence. Otherwise, he would not speak so.

Ye Qiu was unaware of the ancient Buddha Sect, though he knew something about Buddhism; there was such a sect on Earth as well, except they didn’t involve themselves in worldly affairs, focusing on serene cultivation rather than stepping into conflicts.

Many ordinary people even treated Buddhism as a faith, cultivating a pantheon of buddhas with great devotion.

Ye Qiu didn’t believe in gods, buddhas, or devils, only in humans. Especially having reached his level of power, he could achieve what the gods and buddhas could.

No matter whether Taiyi used a Buddha Sect technique or any other technique, Ye Qiu showed no fear. If it’s a contest of fists, then so be it.

His dantian surged wildly, and the power of black flames billowed. At the same time, Ye Qiu activated the Six Paths Reincarnation skill, combining the power of the six paths.

With the black flames on one side and the power of the six paths on the other, though distinctly separate, Ye Qiu forced them into a single force, and likewise launched a punch.

"This is a Buddhist fist, how could Ye Fentian take it?"

"Isn’t he overconfident? I can’t feel how terrifying his fist technique is."

"Overconfidence can only bring him closer to death."

Many were stunned when Ye Qiu launched an unremarkable punch, and soon shook their heads, thinking this punch couldn’t stop Taiyi.

"Forget it, I was planning to bet on the underdog, Ye Fentian, but I better bet on the Taiyi Saint Heir," someone said, shifting their military merit points immediately to Taiyi’s side.

But Turquoise Pool, Jin Shanshun, and Qin Feng remained resolutely on Ye Qiu’s side, believing in his strength even against the powerful Taiyi.

Wow!

"Umm, sir, are you joining the bet too?" The crowd parted, and the pilgrim stepped forward, causing the youth hosting the bet to be stunned.

The pilgrim smiled, said nothing, and simply placed a million military merit points on the Taiyi Saint Heir.

"One hundred thousand!" The betting host was almost crying; if the pilgrim won, he couldn’t afford to pay out.

Soon after, another person appeared, causing much amazement.

"The Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son!"

"Is he placing a bet too?"

While they discussed this, the Stone Demon Lord walked up, similarly putting a million military merit points on the Taiyi Saint Heir. The host of the bet was finished; with everyone betting on Taiyi, even if the payout chances were slim, he couldn’t afford it.

The others, seeing this, felt a twinge of sympathy for him, so they all placed their stakes hard on Taiyi’s side, betting on his victory.

"Damn...," seeing this, the bet host was on the verge of collapse, wanting to flee and not conduct the bet, fearing he couldn’t bear the loss.

However, the expressions of the pilgrim and the Stone Demon Lord deterred him from making any rash moves. If he tried to run, he’d likely be done in by the two powerful Saint Heirs before getting far.

Betting was mandatory! He had no choice!

Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng were upset, grinding their teeth. Naturally, they supported Ye Qiu, having placed many military merit points on his side. Yet, compared to the number on Taiyi’s side, Ye Qiu’s was a sparse few.

"I’ll join in the fun too," another voice sounded then, making the betting host’s eyelid twitch. A new person appeared before him; it was Luo Ren!

Luo Ren glanced at Taiyi’s side, then at Ye Qiu’s side, finally placing his bet on Ye Qiu, causing the bet host to breathe a sigh of relief, as someone finally bet heavily on Ye Qiu.

Not long after Luo Ren placed his bet, Qing Lin arrived too, also placing his wager on Ye Qiu’s side.

Four Supreme Saints stood divided evenly in their bets, making the duel even more intriguing. Yet, in sheer numbers, Taiyi’s side held more, despite Ye Qiu having killed Fu Tian; the Taiyi Saint Heir’s long-standing fame was deeply embedded in many hearts, not easily challenged by just anyone.

In the crowd, the Hongyuan Holy Son and Five Tiger Generals all arrived. Within two or three days, the news would reach the ancestral land. At this crucial point, with Taiyi and Ye Qiu clashing, naturally, they paid close attention.

Seeing so many doubting Ye Qiu, with only a few betting on his victory, the Five Tiger Generals sneered.

"Sir, with so many doubting him, he might be killed by the Taiyi Saint Heir today."

The Hongyuan Holy Son’s expression was complex, neither good nor bad. Internally, he was conflicted. He wanted Ye Qiu left for his sect’s people to kill; if Taiyi killed him, and if things were as he suspected, Ge Tian’s belongings would fall to Taiyi. Retrieving them would become very difficult.

Nevertheless, he didn’t want to see Ye Qiu win; the more disheveled Ye Qiu was, the better.

After much hesitation, the Hongyuan Holy Son did not place any bet. For now, he could only take it step by step.

In the center of the battlefield.

The Taiyi Saint Heir’s Five-Light Divine Fist shone brilliantly. Ye Qiu combined the power of black flames and the six paths to confront him head-on. Suddenly, a series of roars erupted, as the two fought from the ground to the sky, then from the sky back to the ground, and finally transferring the battlefield to the cosmic abyss, forcing everyone to stand on the cliff, gazing intently at the battle below.
