Wu Qian fled like a stray dog.
He hadn't gone far after escaping the Iron-Eating Beast, lingering outside the basin.
Despite his severe injuries, his greed remained undiminished.
He was calculating that once the experts from Flying Phoenix Ridge and Tongtian Pavilion dealt with Ji Mo, and both sides were weakened, he might be able to reap the benefits and seize the immortal artifact.
However, things had not gone as he expected.
The people from Flying Phoenix Ridge and Tongtian Pavilion couldn't make much of a splash and were easily wiped out.
Even the notorious Night Priest's surprise attack failed to kill Ji Mo.
Wu Qian was terrified and didn't dare to linger. He only wanted to leave the Human-Demon Ancient Battlefield ruins and return to Ten Lakes Village as soon as possible.
Perhaps only by asking his family's reclusive Ancestor, who was at the ninth level of the Mortal Immortal realm, could Ji Mo be dealt with.
Wu Qian escaped the Human-Demon Ancient Battlefield and reached the outer area before he felt slightly relieved.
His injuries were quite severe. His back was bleeding profusely, with several claw marks that went deep to the bone. If not for several rare treasures protecting him, he would have been torn to shreds by the Iron-Eating Beast's paw.
"Just you wait. Once I return to Ten Lakes Village and ask Great-Grandfather to come out of seclusion, I will surely tear you, Ji Hei Tou, into a thousand pieces."
Wu Qian sat on a rock to rest, swallowed some healing pills, and planned to recuperate.
He didn't know what kind of demonic creature had injured him. The wounds were covered in corrosive energy and refused to heal. If this continued, he feared he would eventually bleed to death.
"Who are you going to tear into a thousand pieces?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, startling Wu Qian.
Seeing that the newcomer was merely a demon at the first level of the Mortal Immortal realm, Wu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Such a person posed no threat.
Normally, if someone dared to speak to him in such a tone, he would have slapped them to death.
Now, being severely injured, he didn't want any complications and coldly snorted, "If you don't want to die, then get lost."
However, the demon not only didn't leave but also approached, asking with an unfriendly expression, "Are you planning to do something to Mr. Ji Hei Tou?"
"So what if I am? I intend to kill that bastard Ji Hei Tou! I am Wu Qian, the young master of Ten Lakes Village. What, you dare to make a move against me and want to die?"
Wu Qian directly revealed his identity, believing that the other party would be terrified once they knew his background.
In the Western Regions, who dared to provoke Ten Lakes Village?
"Wu Qian?"
The demon's eyes lit up. His gaze slowly moved from top to bottom, settling on Wu Qian's crotch. "I heard you claim to be big and powerful, but I... don't believe it."
Wu Qian narrowed his eyes, his face turning cold. He glared fiercely at the other party. "Who exactly are you? Are you tired of living? You can't handle my Ice Soul Silver Needles."
"I am Mr. Ji Hei Tou's 'Oli Ge' from Fengmo City."
The demon said with immense pride. Every time he introduced himself to outsiders, he felt a deep sense of pride.
He glanced at Wu Qian and said indifferently, "With your appearance, you dare to make a move against Mr. Ji? I, Oli Ge, do not approve."
Oli Ge had repented and reformed after his encounter with Ji Mo.
In the past few days, he had stopped robbing people and instead performed good deeds, maintaining peace in the outer areas of the Human-Demon Ancient Battlefield and purifying various negative influences.
Now, hearing someone wanted to deal with his idol, he naturally wouldn't stand by.
Moreover, knowing that the person in front of him was Wu Qian, he was even more determined not to let this bastard go.
"Just you?"
Wu Qian stood up, his eyes filled with disdain.
Although he was severely injured, he was not someone any cat or dog could bully.
A mere first-level Mortal Immortal daring to speak so arrogantly deserved to be killed.
"Since you are Ji Hei Tou's person, I will send you to the afterlife."
Wu Qian let out a cold laugh, extended his hand, and struck at Oli Ge's head.
As his palm moved, runes intertwined, and spiritual energy surged, forming a massive palm print, intending to crush Oli Ge into a pulp.
Oli Ge was not flustered at all. His eyes widened, and a radiant light emanated from his brow, forming a golden beam that shot towards the palm print.
Bang!
Wu Qian's attack was blocked. His expression became solemn. This Oli Ge actually wielded the power of light, making him very troublesome.
"You do have some skill, but let's see how you block my Ice Soul Silver Needles."
Wu Qian shouted coldly, his spiritual energy surging like a sea. The surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point, and frost began to swirl.
In the void, runes danced, and innate patterns extended, condensing countless Ice Soul Silver Needles that covered the sky.
Clearly, Wu Qian had gotten serious, unleashing his killing move, intending to kill Oli Ge in one blow.
The Ice Soul Silver Needles tore through the void like a storm, striking Oli Ge.
This space seemed to be torn apart, with destructive energy capable of piercing everything. Many large rocks around exploded and turned into dust.
"I believe in light!"
Oli Ge's expression was solemn, and brilliant light erupted from his body.
Behind him, the phantom of a giant light figure slowly rose, towering into the sky, like a fierce god descending.
At this moment, Oli Ge's aura was completely different. Golden light enveloped him, and a terrifying energy erupted.
He crossed his hands in front of him, gathering all his energy.
Then.
A beam of dazzling white light surged out, engulfing everything.
This area was submerged in ice and light.
Oli Ge and Wu Qian engaged in a fierce battle, fighting from the ground to the air, and then back to the ground.
Nearby mountain ranges were shattered, and fissures were filled.
Wu Qian, despite his severe injuries, could not defeat Oli Ge. They were evenly matched, fighting to a standstill.
"Oli Ge, let's call it a truce. Fighting further will only result in mutual destruction."
Wu Qian was alarmed and had to concede.
Oli Ge's combat power was beyond his imagination. Unless he went all out, there was a chance of defeating him.
But what was his status? How could he fight a lowly demon to the death?
"No, you are no match for me, because you are weak and cannot last."
Oli Ge fought more bravely, his fighting spirit incredibly strong.
As the rumors said, Wu Qian's Ice Soul Silver Needle attack, while initially very sharp, lacked staying power.
He was very confident he could win.
"You're talking nonsense. How can I be weak?"
Wu Qian roared, his energy surging like a rainbow, his entire being emanating a terrifying aura.
A slender silver needle appeared in his palm, emitting a vibrant green light that pierced the sky.
Instantly, the wind and clouds changed, and a fierce gale swept through.
Wu Qian seemed to merge with the needle and lunged towards Oli Ge.
This needle was indestructible and unbreakable, seemingly capable of piercing heaven and earth, and tearing through the firmament.
Oli Ge did not dodge. The giant light figure behind him merged into his body, and in an instant, he transformed into a small sun.
Rumble...
Wu Qian and Oli Ge collided fiercely, and the entire land trembled.
