Clang!

Just as the Old Freak Changye had expected.

The ghost energy and the sword shadow collided, erupting into a dazzling light in the void. The violent Emptiness Sword Intent surged, directly suppressing the ghost energy.

The Emptiness Sword Intent continuously tore apart the ghost energy that Qiao Yu had unleashed. In the end, all the ghost energy was obliterated by the sword shadow. However, the sword shadow unleashed by the Emptiness Sword Saint continued its momentum, slashing directly towards Qiao Yu and emitting a blinding light.

"Hehe, overestimating yourself!" The Emptiness Sword Saint sneered, his face full of smugness.

After unleashing this sword strike, he felt somewhat weakened, but anyone with eyes could see that he had won!

"As expected, the Emptiness Sword Saint is still superior!"

"Are you stating the obvious? Who is the Emptiness Sword Saint? He is a super powerhouse who has been famous for a long time! How could he lose to a pseudo-god tier three?"

"Alas, this Qiao Yu is truly a pity. For the sake of a beast, he actually fought the Emptiness Sword Saint to the death. Now, the Emptiness Sword Saint is even less likely to let him go."

The crowd discussed animatedly, their faces filled with pity.

After all, for a pseudo-god tier three to be able to fight the pseudo-god tier peak Emptiness Sword Saint to such an extent, Qiao Yu could be proud of himself.

Suddenly, someone with keen eyes gasped and pointed in the direction where the sword shadow was raging, shouting loudly.

"No, look quickly, what is that!"

A black shadow was actually withstanding the endless and violent Sword Intent, walking out step by step. Then, everyone saw clearly that it was a figure carrying a golden shield!

The golden shield was already tattered, with only half of it remaining, but the Sword Intent that the Emptiness Sword Saint had unleashed with all his might could not damage the shield in the slightest!

This was simply unbelievable!

"That thing seems to be... the Shield of Zeus! It's the Shield of Zeus!" The well-informed Old Freak Changye screamed, like a duck being strangled.

"Old Freak Changye, are you kidding me? Not only did this kid obtain the Nirvana Divine Lightning, but he also got his hands on the Shield of Zeus?" Old Ancestor Blood River clicked his tongue in surprise.

"Besides the Shield of Zeus, what else could allow a pseudo-god tier three to block the full force of the Emptiness Sword Saint's sword strike?" Old Freak Changye explained, his expression changing drastically again. "Not good! The Emptiness Sword Saint is in danger!"

Qiao Yu, carrying the Shield of Zeus, rushed directly towards the Emptiness Sword Saint.

In his right hand, he held a fully charged Nirvana Divine Lightning, aiming straight for the Emptiness Sword Saint's head.

This kid really intends to kill the Emptiness Sword Saint!

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, Old Freak Changye and Old Ancestor Blood River acted together, blocking Qiao Yu on both sides!

At this moment, the Nirvana Divine Lightning in Qiao Yu's right palm was only a step away from the Emptiness Sword Saint's head.

The flickering lightning illuminated the Emptiness Sword Saint's terrified face, making it appear even more uncertain.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He had almost died just now?

A strong sense of fear suddenly rose in the Emptiness Sword Saint's heart.

Everyone else present was completely stunned.

What was going on?

Hadn't the Emptiness Sword Saint won? Why was Qiao Yu unharmed in the face of the Emptiness Sword Saint's full-force attack?

More importantly, why had Old Ancestor Blood River and Old Freak Changye, two super powerhouses who were also at the peak of the pseudo-god tier, suddenly attacked Qiao Yu as well?

Qiao Yu was locked down by the two men's qi, unable to move forward even an inch.

He glanced at Old Ancestor Blood River and Old Freak Changye.

"What do you two mean by this?" Qiao Yu asked calmly.

"Little friend Qiao Yu, it's best to leave people some leeway. The Emptiness Sword Saint did kill your pet beast, and you also killed his grandson to vent your anger. How about we stop here?" Old Freak Changye asked tentatively.

He no longer dared to treat Qiao Yu as a junior.

Qiao Yu had already proven with his strength that his combat power was not much different from theirs at the peak of the pseudo-god tier.

If he and Old Ancestor Blood River hadn't acted in time, this Nirvana Divine Lightning would definitely have severely injured the Emptiness Sword Saint even if it didn't kill him.

"You were all as silent as哑巴 just now, and now you're telling me to let it go? How can you have the nerve to say that?" Qiao Yu tilted his head curiously.

Old Freak Changye couldn't help but blush.

He understood that they had indeed acted improperly in this matter.

"Little friend Qiao Yu, it's not that we're protecting the Emptiness Sword Saint, we're just thinking about the greater good of the human race. The combat power of a peak pseudo-god tier is a strategic-level force that cannot be ignored, whether for the human race or the beast race."

"If we allow you to kill the Emptiness Sword Saint today, it would definitely be a great loss to our human race. This would undoubtedly be a result that pleases the enemy and pains our own people. Little friend Qiao Yu, think twice! For the future of our human race!"

At this point, Old Freak Changye could only try to persuade Qiao Yu with reason and emotion.

Qiao Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"Understood. So, if the Emptiness Sword Saint killed your mother, you would also endure it for the greater good of the human race, right?"

Old Freak Changye was choked speechless and could only laugh awkwardly.

"Little friend Qiao Yu, how can a fox pet beast be compared to a relative? I will have the Emptiness Sword Saint apologize to you in front of everyone in the human race and compensate you with a new pet beast. How about that?"

"Hehe, seeing how little tolerance you have, don't lecture me about principles. I'm not reasonable. He killed my pet beast, so I'm going to kill his whole family," Qiao Yu shook his head.

Old Freak Changye and Old Ancestor Blood River didn't say anything more, but instead locked down Qiao Yu with their qi, preventing him from continuing to attack the Emptiness Sword Saint.

"It seems you're really determined to stand with that old geezer, the Emptiness Sword Saint?" Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow.

"It's not that we want to stand with him, but it's too absurd to kill a peak pseudo-god tier for the sake of a pet beast. Little friend Qiao Yu, you're making things very difficult for us. For the sake of the greater good of the human race, I hope you can understand my good intentions."

Old Freak Changye sighed, looking helpless.

"Understood, understood, I understand you too well. Since you've put it that way, fine, I won't kill this Emptiness Sword Saint. It's for the greater good of the human race, after all."

Qiao Yu put away the Nirvana Divine Lightning and the Shield of Zeus.

The Emptiness Sword Saint breathed a sigh of relief, and Old Freak Changye finally smiled.

"That's right, little friend Qiao Yu, don't worry! I'll take charge of this matter and definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"

"No need, I don't like accepting charity from others. I'll solve it myself."

In full view of everyone, Qiao Yu turned around and walked directly towards the Kirin Beast God.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Qiao Yu was going to do. They only heard Qiao Yu say to the Kirin Beast God:

"Hey old brother, let me ask you something. Do you beastmen need a human who wields the Shield of Zeus and the Nirvana Divine Lightning to join you? I have a plan to exterminate the human race that I want to discuss with you."
