Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1929 - 1930: Shameless Move! Fourth Update
The appearance of the Stone Demon Lord caused the battlefield to change once more.
Especially with a few casual words, it was clear that he intended to deal with Ye Qiu.
"The Turquoise Pool said you resemble someone, and that statement makes me very angry, you know?" the Stone Demon Lord said slowly.
"Is it my fault to resemble someone else? It’s ridiculous." Ye Qiu replied. He knew who the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden mistook him for. It wasn’t just a resemblance; they were actually the same person.
It’s just that no one recognized him.
"I really dislike you. I think you should change your appearance, don’t you think?" the Stone Demon Lord said again.
His palm was moving, opening and closing, stretching his fingers.
The meaning was clear: he intended to personally make a move and disfigure Ye Qiu, which was another way of helping him change his appearance.
The Stone Demon Lord targeted Ye Qiu mainly because he was jealous. He didn’t like the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden being close to any man. As long as it was a man, he was unhappy.
Adding fuel to the fire were the Saint Heir of Miao Shan and Zhou Quan, who almost painted Ye Qiu as a rumored boyfriend of the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden. Considering these hearsays, it was no wonder the Stone Demon Lord was angry.
The Stone Demon Lord was a highly possessive person, and once others provoked him, his rage ignited instantly.
That’s why, after leaving the gates of the Turquoise Pool Holy Land, he was prepared to deal with Ye Qiu.
"You want me to change my appearance? Heh heh..." Ye Qiu laughed, then slowly raised his head, staring straight at the Stone Demon Lord, his tone changing as he fiercely retorted, "Who do you think you are? Governing heaven and earth, and now people’s appearances too? Why don’t you look in a mirror and check yourself out first? What are you, to speak to me!"
Ye Qiu hadn’t cursed anyone for a while; more accurately, he hadn’t scolded a Saint Heir in a long time. Ever since coming from Earth to the ancestral land, he had rarely engaged in verbal sparring. But now, the Stone Demon Lord was targeting him, wanting him to change his appearance—wasn’t that going too far?
The Stone Demon Lord’s gaze turned colder, his eyes half-closed and brows knitted, clearly infuriated by Ye Qiu’s words.
Since reaching his current level of power, it had been a long time since anyone dared to rebuke him like this.
Yet today, Ye Qiu berated him before everyone; veins throbbed on the Stone Demon Lord’s temples.
"I shall first seal your mouth, lest you continue spouting nonsense." The Stone Demon Lord’s aura abruptly changed.
Ye Qiu enraged the Stone Demon Lord again, leaving many unsure whether to call Ye Qiu brave or foolish. Regardless, at the moment the Stone Demon Lord’s aura shifted, a circle of people involuntarily retreated more than twenty meters.
They cleared a large battleground for the two, making the area in front of the Turquoise Pool Holy Land’s gate immediately spacious.
"So today is really an eye-opener. Not only did this intrepid fellow knock three Saint Heirs flying, but now he dares to stand against the Stone Demon Lord too—is he trying to tear the sky apart?"
"Could it be he doesn’t know the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden was defeated by the Stone Demon Lord? Yet he dares to curse the Stone Demon Lord—utterly insane."
Many loose cultivator martial artists were discussing intensely, especially admiring Ye Qiu’s challenge to the Stone Demon Lord. That takes some guts. Martial artists should be like that, daring to fight strong opponents. Otherwise, why practice martial arts if one quivers at the sight of a strong person?
Of course, such thoughts remained in people’s minds. Few would dare act like Ye Qiu.
With power to back up such audacity, it’s showing off. Without power, it’s sheer courting of death.
Within the Turquoise Pool Holy Land, several elders preparing to take disciples were all persuading Zhuang Miao Shan.
"Brother Zhuang, if you don’t step in and stop this, once that kid from the Stone Demon Lord makes a move, you might lose a beloved disciple." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"That Stone Demon Lord kid isn’t even someone the Turquoise Pool lass could handle. Do you think this one can stop him?"
"Exactly, one is a Saint, the other is in the Void Return Realm. There’s no time for delay, no time for delay. If you haven’t made up your mind, I’ll step in to stop it; don’t blame me for snatching your disciple when the time comes."
Seeing Zhuang Miao Shan still so composed, a few elders couldn’t stand it anymore, thinking he was playing with Ye Qiu’s life. Someone like Ye Qiu, the first to ascend the Turquoise Pool Immortal Platform, is a great prospect. With proper upbringing, reaching saintly achievements wouldn’t be difficult.
Yet, even with such a great prospect, Zhuang Miao Shan still wanted to observe. The elders didn’t know how many times they had internally said, "If you keep observing, this disciple will be dead."
"I just have a feeling this youngster isn’t making baseless threats. Since he dares to retaliate against the Stone Demon Lord, he probably has some hidden means. Observing a bit more won’t hurt." Zhuang Miao Shan said. His interest in Ye Qiu was growing ever larger, especially impressed with his courage to confront even the Stone Demon Lord.
"Brother Zhuang, I have to admit, you really have a big heart."
The other elders were helpless. If not for Zhuang Miao Shan’s exceptional strength, they would go forth to prevent the upcoming confrontation. Otherwise, if something happens to a good disciple like Ye Qiu, wouldn’t it be a waste of talent?
Just as Zhuang Miao Shan eagerly awaited Ye Qiu’s trump card, the Stone Demon Lord was about to make his move when suddenly Ye Qiu shouted, "Hold on."
The Stone Demon Lord’s actions paused, and he coolly said, "Do you have any last words?"
"Nothing more, I just wanted to see if you’d listen." Ye Qiu chuckled.
Damn it!
The Stone Demon Lord realized he was played by Ye Qiu, completely caught off guard, and immediately said, "This will be your last time speaking." Because next, he planned to tear Ye Qiu’s mouth apart.
With that said, the Stone Demon Lord extended his palm. Though he didn’t move his entire body, a hand transformed from saintly power reached out to grab Ye Qiu.
In an instant, the sky overhead darkened, like the Buddha’s Palm.
Ye Qiu glanced at the hand in the sky. The surrounding people expected Ye Qiu to use some method to resist. Given his previous arrogance and taunting of the Stone Demon Lord, he surely had some reliance.
However, what Ye Qiu did next left everyone dumbfounded.
He turned and ran, his feet as if slicked with oil, moving incredibly fast.
The massive saintly power’s palm was about to strike but suddenly halted halfway.
With his hands behind his back, Ye Qiu raised his head proudly, seemingly dismissive of the heavens and earth.
"Stone Demon Lord, come hit me."
The Stone Demon Lord was exasperated.
Even Li Jin couldn’t bear to watch, feeling a bit embarrassed for Ye Qiu.
The reason the Stone Demon Lord’s palm didn’t fall wasn’t for any other reason. It was because Ye Qiu was too fast, immediately slipping back into the Turquoise Pool Holy Land. Even the guards didn’t notice him stopping Ye Qiu. In such a situation, how could the Stone Demon Lord act? If he were serious, striking would mean damaging the Turquoise Pool’s gate, which was another matter entirely.
"Come hit me, I promise I won’t fight back. If you can hurt me, I’ll give you star coins." Ye Qiu said with a nonchalant manner.
This tone and expression caused the spectators to laugh and cry, feeling that Ye Qiu was too shameless, buzzing with irritation.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s fearless demeanor, the elders watching this battle all laughed, each saying to Zhuang Miao Shan, "Brother Zhuang, this kid’s confidence comes from hiding in the Turquoise Pool Holy Land. Wasn’t this beyond your expectations?"
Zhuang Miao Shan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed by Ye Qiu’s shameless tactic, having expected more.
