Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 2108 - 2109: What the Hammer!

The repeated failed attacks left Hongyuan Holy Son frustrated beyond words. Each strike he delivered carried significant force, intending to seriously injure Ye Qiu, but none hit their mark, resulting in wasted effort and missed opportunities.

The sensation was akin to hitting cotton, and while it was tolerable the first few times, consistently failing to reach the target was maddening enough to make one spit blood.

This Ye Fentian was slipperier than an eel.

Although Hongyuan Holy Son was vexed, he didn’t stop. The five warriors had been crippled by Ye Qiu, which was a harsh blow to his ego, as it dismantled his elite team, leaving him alone.

With so many people watching, if he didn’t get some payback and humiliate Ye Qiu, how would others perceive him?

His reputation as Hongyuan Holy Son would plummet.

To Hongyuan Holy Son, Ye Qiu’s advantage was simply his agility. If Ye Qiu didn’t fear confrontation, why was he constantly dodging?

"Ye Fentian, if you have the courage, stop dodging. Are you afraid?" Hongyuan Holy Son taunted.

Ye Qiu smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Do you know why I haven’t retaliated?"

Hongyuan Holy Son’s interest piqued. He truly wanted to know the reason, so he asked, "Why?"

"Because your prowess is disappointing. I thought you’d improved, but it seems you haven’t," said Ye Qiu. Hongyuan Holy Son was puzzled. Why did it sound as if Ye Qiu knew him and had fought him before?

Today was their first meeting; there was no reason for familiarity.

Still, Ye Qiu didn’t explain further. It was impossible for him to reveal he was Ye Qiu, although he didn’t mind exposing his identity now; it was better to keep it hidden if possible.

"Since you want me to fight back, let me fulfill your wish."

Saying this, Ye Qiu changed his approach from evading to suddenly launching an attack.

So fast!

Hongyuan Holy Son was startled, feeling a burst of momentum coming at him. Instinctively he blocked, but Ye Qiu’s fist connected.

Ye Qiu offered a slight smile to Hongyuan Holy Son. His fist transformed into an open hand, grabbing Hongyuan Holy Son’s arm, followed by a whirlwind of motion.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The audience was dumbstruck by the astonishing scene before them.

What was Ye Qiu doing!

Martial artists watching this drew in sharp breaths, their cheeks twitching, feeling the pain on behalf of Hongyuan Holy Son.

The scene was brutally simple because after Ye Qiu caught Hongyuan Holy Son’s arm, he started smashing him against the ground. Hongyuan Holy Son was like a toy, being slammed back and forth by Ye Qiu, used as a hammer.

How could the onlookers not be stunned? This was Hongyuan Holy Son, being tossed around like a plaything. Anyone in their shoes would be shocked.

Who had the strength to toy with Hongyuan Holy Son like this?

Today, someone did it. Ye Qiu demonstrated in front of many martial artists what it meant to play "Whack-a-Mole"—without a mole, just a human hammer.

Some weaker young martial artists, struggling in the wild realm, couldn’t bear to watch, covering their eyes; others watched with fear and admiration, yearning for Ye Qiu’s power.

In short, Hongyuan Holy Son was being toyed with, and at present, he was being worn down.

The brutal attack left Hongyuan Holy Son confused, unable to resist, his body creating crater after crater on the ground.

Despite Hongyuan Holy Son being a strong saint, ranking mid-tier among his generation and having a thin chance of reaching cosmic realms in the future, none of this mattered now as sympathy for Hongyuan Holy Son grew.

Why provoke Ye Qiu?

Gradually, Hongyuan Holy Son’s strong body was being battered and bloodied, and while still alive, his spirit weakened significantly.

Bai Xiong, I avenged you!

You must have seen it.

Ye Qiu thought as he mercilessly tormented Hongyuan Holy Son to avenge Bai Xiong.

The five warriors had their dantians destroyed by Ye Qiu, and now Hongyuan Holy Son was enduring similarly chaotic punishment. Ye Qiu believed that seeing this would bring Bai Xiong peace.

Just as Ye Qiu continued to pummel Hongyuan Holy Son, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Enough! Are you intending to break the rules of Starry River Ancient City?"

This voice came from a distant pavilion, sending a shiver through everyone who heard it, prompting them to look toward the pavilion with respect.

Even at the Turquoise Pool, she didn’t carry herself with the airs of a Saintess.

Because this person was an order enforcer of Starry River Ancient City. Before, when someone broke the rules by killing in the city, this elder appeared and executed that prodigy on the spot.

That prodigy had an extraordinary background, shining brilliantly, but was arrogant and broke the rules. He was rambunctious about it and ultimately met his end, with even the prodigy’s sect personally apologizing and offering reparations.

This made everyone realize that the order enforcers of Starry River Ancient City were formidable. Regardless of identity or status, no star-born genius escaped punishment for breaking the rules.

Ye Qiu stopped, not for any other reason than the elder’s terrifying and unfathomable aura, which sobered him considerably, halting his vengeance.

If he continued, Hongyuan Holy Son might indeed die.

That would be a disaster.

The city’s established rules didn’t bind Ye Qiu, and the elder’s interference wasn’t met with anger but gratitude.

"If you break my Starry River Ancient City’s rules, the consequence is death. Be careful next time." With that, the elder’s figure blurred.

Ye Qiu cupped his fists in respect toward the elder and said, "Thank you, senior, for the reminder."

The order enforcer vanished, and Ye Qiu ceased his assault on Hongyuan Holy Son, who was visibly hanging by a thread after the beating.

The battle had naturally concluded. The five warriors rushed to Hongyuan Holy Son’s side, helping him to his feet. After a long while, Hongyuan Holy Son finally regained his senses.

He cast a vicious look at Ye Qiu, then left with the support of the five warriors.

But everyone knew that the grudge between them was now deep. Having suffered such humiliation, Hongyuan Holy Son would undoubtedly seek revenge, especially since his abilities remained intact, allowing for the chance of retribution.
