"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
When the difference in strength is not big, whoever has a stronger means of survival has a greater chance of surviving to the end. Yang Qi's means of survival are close to the level of high-level Martial Emperor, and Yang Qi's previously displayed strength is comparable to that of a late-stage six-star Martial Emperor. I'm afraid that even a late-stage six-star Martial Emperor cultivator would not be able to get along well with Yang Qi, not to mention that Geng Yue is only at the mid-stage six-star Martial Emperor. You have to know that Geng Yue is still practicing the Dao of Alchemy, and is not good at direct fighting.
With Yang Qi's strength and means of self-preservation, he is definitely capable of killing Geng Yue. Emperor Duankong, as a cultivator at the emperor level, can naturally see this easily.
Looking at Yang Qi flying in the distance, Emperor Duankong smiled coldly and said, "It's a pity, no matter how evil you are, in front of absolute strength, there is only one way to go, and that is death!"
Perhaps Yang Qi would have a chance to survive if facing an ordinary Seven-Star Martial Emperor, but facing a strong man at the Emperor level like him, he did not even have the slightest chance to survive.
Whoosh~
Emperor Duankong flashed and rushed towards Yang Qi. With his cultivation level, he could use soul attack to kill Yang Qi, making him lose consciousness. However, Emperor Duankong did not intend to do so. It was better to lose consciousness and die in despair while conscious than to die in despair while conscious. Obviously, he wanted Yang Qi to die in a conscious state.
“So fast!”
Feeling Emperor Duankong approaching quickly from behind, Yang Qi's pupils couldn't help but shrink. Even though he used all his strength to activate the Qingying Wings and doubled his speed, Emperor Duankong was still faster than him.
“There’s no way to escape!”
There was a hint of despair on Yang Qi's face. There was a huge gap between him and Emperor Duankong in every aspect. The opponent's strength completely crushed him. Even if he risked his life, he had no chance of escape.
“Am I really going to die here this time?” Yang Qi sighed in his heart. The previous blow of the sword, just one blow, had killed nearly 60% of his vitality. As long as Emperor Duankong made another move, he would surely die.
Whoosh~
At this moment, Yang Qi felt a terrifying force coming from behind him, it was obvious that Emperor Duankong had taken action again.
"Stop it for me!"
Facing the incoming attack, Yang Qi activated the Cauldron of All Things to defend himself without hesitation. At the same time, he let his clone burn his origin without any hesitation and stood in front of him as a shield.
Boom!
The sharp blade light fell, accompanied by a loud bang, and the Cauldron of All Things flew backwards. As the Cauldron of All Things flew backwards, the shadow clone was annihilated and dissipated. The remaining power of the blade light fell on the Five Elements Barrier.
Poof!
The barrier dissipated, and Yang Qi, covered in blood, appeared in the void. At this moment, the breath of life in his body had become extremely weak.
Although he blocked the sword of Emperor Duankong, there was no joy on Yang Qi's face. He looked at Emperor Duankong not far away and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Emperor Duankong's first blow was not his strongest attack at all. If he wanted to kill Yang Qi, Yang Qi would have been killed without a doubt if Emperor Duankong had used his strongest attack for the second time. However, when Emperor Duankong attacked for the second time, Yang Qi, who originally had only 40% of his vitality left, managed to survive that blow, and his vitality was still close to 10%.
It was obvious that Emperor Duankong not only did not launch his strongest attack, but when he attacked Yang Qi for the second time, he deliberately weakened some of his power, just because he did not want to kill Yang Qi immediately.
“Shouldn’t you be happy to be alive?” Emperor Duankong glanced at Yang Qi and then said calmly, “I just want you to live a little longer and die in despair.”
"hateful!"
Yang Qi's face darkened, and he couldn't help feeling powerless. Even if there was only a slight chance of survival, he would not choose to self-destruct. However, he felt extremely aggrieved and angry as his vitality was being eroded bit by bit.
Unfortunately, facing a strong man like Emperor Duankong, no matter how angry or aggrieved Yang Qi was, it was completely useless. In the face of absolute strength, he did not even have the qualifications to resist.
Whoosh~
At this moment, Emperor Duankong attacked again. A sharp blade light burst out from his hand and slashed directly towards Yang Qi.
"It's over!"
Feeling the terror contained in the blade, Yang Qi's face was filled with despair. The power of this blade was indeed weaker than the previous two, but it was not something he, at the end of his strength, could withstand.
Buzz~
Seeing that the blade was about to fall, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Qi, and then he moved his hand to block the incoming blade.
Um
Emperor Duankong was stunned when he saw the newcomer. Then his face darkened and he said coldly, "The Qiankong Empire intends to interfere in the feud between him and me?"
Qiankong Empire
Hearing what Emperor Duankong said, Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the cultivator who helped him was a cultivator from the Qiankong Empire.
"This breath..."
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the figure, his expression froze, and he thought to himself, "Guardian!"
He had seen the guardian of the Qianfeng Empire before, and the figure in front of him had an aura very similar to that of the guardian of the Qianfeng Empire. Moreover, in the entire Qiankong Empire, there were not many practitioners who could block the attack of Emperor Duankong so easily. The guardian was the most likely one to be able to do that.
"I have no intention of interfering in the feud between you two." The figure glanced at Emperor Duankong and continued, "But I have to protect Yang Qi's safety!"
Hearing this, Emperor Duankong's face suddenly darkened. He looked at the figure and shouted coldly, "Bruce, are you determined to go against me?"
Bruce is the name of the current guardian of the Qiankong Empire. As the commander of the Immortal Temple in the nearby star field, Emperor Duankong naturally knows the title of the guardian of the Qiankong Empire.
Bruce looked at Emperor Duankong and said calmly, "If you insist on understanding it this way, it's not impossible."
"Bruce, don't forget the Immortal Temple behind me. It is not something that a mere Qiankong Empire like you can offend." Emperor Duankong said coldly.
Although he didn't know why Bruce would protect Yang Qi, he didn't believe that Bruce dared to gamble with the Qiankong Empire. The Immortal Temple and the technological civilization have always kept to themselves. Now that Emperor Duankong has come forward to protect Yang Qi, it is clearly crossing the line.
"You can't represent the Immortal Temple yet." Bruce glanced at Emperor Duankong and continued, "The Lord Saint wants to see Yang Qi. If you want to attack him, you will be the enemy of our entire technological civilization! I'm afraid you won't be able to bear this responsibility at that time!"
What
Upon hearing this, Emperor Duankong and Yang Qi's faces changed. Both of them had not expected that Bruce helped Yang Qi because the Immortal Saint wanted to see Yang Qi!
