An invisible force was slowly diffusing into the air of the secret chamber .
"You can stop wasting your effort," Ye Qingyu remarked . Of course, he had observed this Dragon Human channeling his qi . "I've already slain Wei Wubing and searched his soul . Maybe you're slightly stronger than him, but you'll end up just like he did . Tell me what I want to know honestly, and perhaps I can let you die a quick and painless death . "
But before his voice had died down—
"Die . "
There was a low growl, and a ray of white light shot out from Zhang Wuxin's palm .
It was a bone spur .
It contained an alarming magical force, and it was flying toward Ye Qingyu like a bolt of lightning .
Ye Qingyu exhaled .
A breath of icy qi shot out from his mouth, instantly freezing the incoming spur . It turned into white dust, which soon dissipated into the surrounding air .
"Kill!"
Zhang Wuxin split himself into three mirror images and appeared in an instant before Ye Qingyu . His palms had transformed into knives of white bone, and he slashed at the intruder . This was no longer a martial arts technique of the Dragon Human Race . Evidently, Zhang Wuxin had long realized that it would have been child's play for Ye Qingyu .
"Boom!"
Ye Qingyu punched .
Zhang Wuxin flew backward .
An icy energy flowed in the secret chamber .
Traces of ice could be vaguely spotted on the four walls, ceiling, and floor of the chamber . Ye Qingyu had set up arrays in the room, long before Zhang Wuxin regained consciousness, to block it from the outside world . His skill with magical formations was so great that even Quasi-emperors had to use their mMajestic pPower to forcibly disarm them; there was no way even for them to use talismanic formations to break the arrays . Naturally, Zhang Wuxin had no way of escaping from them .
"Who are you exactly?"
Zhang Wuxin was in terrible shock .
"There are not many people in this world who can knock me back so easily . Even our War God, Xu Wuya, could not have accomplished this . Looks like this person . . . It looks like he really managed to kill Wei Wubing . "
"Do you really not know who I am?" Ye Qingyu asked .
Zhang Wuxin looked wary and angry at the same time . A thick black aura surrounded his entire body as he replied, "I don't . Who are you? Why are you looking to find fault with us?"
"Seems like you spent too much effort trying to hide yourself and gaining Xu Wuya's trust . You didn't even bother to learn about what's going on in the outside world," Ye Qingyu said, as if he had just understood something . "If that's the case, the relationship between all of you is not that close to begin with . So, until now, you don't know what happened in the Alliance of Domains . That's good . I can slowly track all of you down with my leads . . . Haha, didn't you want to know who I am? I'm Ye Qingyu; remember my name . I've come to exact vengeance on behalf of Mr . Ren Puyang . "
"Ye Qingyu? The [Ice Sword Killing God], Ye Qingyu?" Zhang Wuxin was shocked . He then began to shake his head and laugh coldly . "Impossible . Your power . . . Ye Qingyu can't possibly be this powerful . Hehe . . . Judging from your level of cultivation, you must be at the apex of the human martial arts community . You must be from that batch of people . Why are you trying to conceal your true identity by using the name of your junior?"
Even Zhou Yuexin, who was standing beside them, was in great shock .
This was because she had also heard of [Ice Sword Killing God] Ye Qingyu's name, and her image of this up-and-coming outstanding talent of the Human Race was that his power was definitely not as terrifying as her companion . On the other hand, the human martial arts expert had asked her to call him "Mr . Ye" . Could he really be the [Ice Sword Killing God]? "At least they are about the same age," she thought .
The young dragon maiden kept trying to figure out his true identity .
"That batch of people? What batch?" Ye Qingyu felt that there was hidden meaning in Zhang Wuxin's words and managed to pick out the part that did not sound right .
Zhang Wuxin had recovered his senses by now . He sneered and remained silent .
He knew that he had given himself away when he was shocked senseless earlier on .
"I don't have time to waste on you . Since you're unwilling to speak, I shall use a different method to make you talk," Ye Qingyu said . He summoned the [Blood Drinkering Sword Pill] and transformed it into a long sword before slashing it at the Dragon Human .
"Haha, you underestimate me too much," Zhang Wuxin roared . "Wei Wubing was a nobody . Do you think you can subdue me just because you managed to slay him? He's not even worthy of carrying my shoes . . . I didn't want to reveal my true form, as it would waste all the effort I've spent all these years in trying to transform my body . But now . . . you've forced my hand . "
As soon as he finished speaking—
Countless rays of think black qi energy surged out of his body . The secret chamber looked as if it had suddenly turned into a glass container filled with ink, and Zhou Yuexin was shocked . She had caught a glimpse of Zhang Wuxin and noticed that his skin had peeled off as if it was made of thin paper, revealing a monster made up of connected bones . It leaped out of its husk . . .
A terrifying power pervaded the air of the chamber .
Zhou Yuexin immediately felt as though she was suffocating and her body was about to be torn apart .
"Disperse!"
Ye Qingyu's voice rang out at this moment .
It was as if his clear-sounding voice was a command, and the black clouds filling up the entire chamber dissipated like mist under sunlight .
"Clink!"
Sparks flew right in front of Zhou Yuexin's eyes .
She got a shock .
She was completely unaware that a sword of bone had come flying toward her, but a blood-red long sword had blocked the attack at the most critical moment . Sparks were created by the collision between the two swords .
Ye Qingyu was wielding the [Blood Drinker Sword] .
The sword of bone was held in the bony hands of a creature . Its height and appearance were similar to that of a human skeleton, but it was definitely not human . Its joints and bone structure seemed to be connected in a bizarre fashion, and black flames were circling around it . A blackish-red fire was flickering in its eye sockets .
This was Zhang Wuxin's true form .
Zhou Yuexin felt that it was hard to describe the shock in her heart .
"Fool," Ye Qingyu remarked as he prepared to strike again after knocking Zhang Wuxin back with a blow of his sword .
"You . . . " Zhang Wuxin stammered . After exchanging a few blows with his opponent, he could sense that something was not quite right . He wanted to flee, but realized that there was no way he could break through the icy array surrounding the surface of the chamber . He had originally put much effort into designing the chamber to make sure it was secure enough to prevent anyone else from discovering his secret . Now, however, it had become a prison of his own making .
"Clink! Clink!"
Sparks flew, and the sword of bone was shattered .
Zhang Wuxin was slashed by his opponent's sword multiple times, and the skeletal structure of his body looked as though it was about to collapse .
"Who are you? You can't possibly be Ye Qingyu . . . " Zhang Wuxin roared . "He can't possibly be this powerful . We've set up measures to defend against all beings that possess such strength . You can't possibly have escaped from our scheme . You . . . "
Ye Qingyu was not bothered about this matter .
"Open!"
With a clear shout, the icy array surrounding the chamber began to glow brightly .
The chamber took up less than one thousand square meters mu of space, but somehow it expanded suddenly . In an instant, it had become vast and its perimeter now covered hundreds of thousands of meters . This was the essence of a space-time formation . Ye Qingyu had inherited a portion of the mantle of [Formation Emperor] LuosoLousu, and he had spent the past few years to comprehend and incorporate his skills . Now, he was already a top-ranked Formation Master of the universe, and he could create space-time formations in the blink of an eye .
"He's yours . This time, you have to remember more memories," Ye Qingyu said into the air .
A huge, white ferocious beast roared and appeared from the Void void in the next instant .
It was the Skeletal Wyrm of War .
"Thank you, master . "
It roared with joy .
It had already been pleading with Ye Qingyu in private for a long while, in the hopes that it could devour Zhang Wuxin . This would be incredibly beneficial for its evolution, and after much thought, Ye Qingyu finally agreed to its request .
"Wei Wubing?" Zhang Wuxin asked . He could feel a familiar presence instantly when the creature appeared . "No, you're not Wei Wubing, you . . . " he said as he was shocked to discover otherwise .
The battle began .
The entire process lasted thirty 30 minutes .
Zhang Wuxin had been seriously wounded by Ye Qingyu after all, and the wyrm had become extremely powerful after absorbing Wei Wubing's memories and strength . Eventually, Zhang Wuxin was devoured by the Skeletal Wyrm of War, and his skeletal structure collapsed . The blackish-red flames in his eye sockets were instantly swallowed up by the wyrm .
This skeletal beast of war was incredibly terrifying, and the aura it gave off was like that of a vile demon from the abyss .
"Try to contain your aura . I'll give you fifteen 15 minutes to tell me what I want to know," Ye Qingyu said . Then he waited patiently .
Fifteen 15 minutes later—
"Master, this Dragon Human . . . He's the mastermind," the wyrm said respectfully .
Two red rays of light shot out from its pupils, and the holographic image of a martial arts expert from the Dragon Human Race appeared in the air . He wore a suit of battle armor that was purple and gold in color, and he carried a blood-red halberd on his back . He was huge and had an authoritative presence . There was a rare air of royalty about him .
"Hmm?"
Ye Qingyu's heart trembled .
"Is this figure the old Eemperor of the Dragon Human Race?
"This . . . How is this possible?
"How can a dead Dragon Human be the mastermind?
"Unless . . . "
Ye Qingyu's gaze fell on the wyrm .
The huge skeletal figure of the wyrm began to tremble and it knelt upon the floor . "Master, I wouldn't dare lie to you . It really is this person . . . This time, many memories that I absorbed from Zhang Wuxin are very clear," it said with its head lowered in deference .
Ye Qingyu frowned .
"Mastermind? What mastermind?" Zhou Yuexin, who had been listening in a corner of the room, also asked at this moment . "His Majesty, the Ancient Dragon Emperor, passed away tens of thousands of years ago . . . What are the both of you talking about?"
"What did you say?" Ye Qingyu immediately turned to her to ask . He had a feeling that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly added, "Do you know this dragon person?"
"Yes, he used to be the Dragon God of our people . He was the person behind the resurgence of the Dragon Human dynasty, and he defeated the vile demons that invaded the domain of our people tens of thousands of years ago . He was then crowned as the Ancient Dragon Emperor, but he died a long, long time ago . It's a thing of the ancient past now," Zhou Yuexin replied confidently .
"Are you certain?" Ye Qingyu realized that he had made a mistake . This holographic image was not that of the Ancient Emperor of the Dragon Human Race .
Zhou Yuexin nodded confidently, . "Of course I'm certain . I know that all of us look pretty much the same to other races, and that they can't recognize the small differences in our looks . This is especially true regarding the royals of our race . Due to the purity of their blood, they look even more alike, but we are definitely able to tell the difference . This is because the horns of each Dragon Human are unique . "
Ye Qingyu believed her words .
That was because, after close examination, he could spot the difference between the horns of this Dragon Human before them and the Ancient Emperor . He had once seen the corpse of the Ancient Emperor earlier on .
But there was another problem now .
How could the Ancient Dragon Emperor, who had died thousands of years ago, be the mastermind behind the murder of Ren Puyang?
