Chapter 987: Sneak Attack

“Whoos.h.!.+” Before Li Qiye could finish his words, a powerful arrow pierced his body and pinned him to the ground as well.

This development was so sudden that no one could react in time.

Li Qiye had just defeated Chi Tianyu and nailed him to the ground. Chi Tianyu had no way of fighting back, so Li Qiye was at his most vulnerable state.

No one saw where the arrow came from. It was extremely fast, a hundred times faster than lightning. Even Li Qiye couldn't avoid it in time.

Someone eventually calmed down and asked in a daze: “What happened?”

A human expert from the previous generation had a dark expression and spoke wryly: “Someone performed a sneak attack!”

At this time, anyone could guess that it was the Blood Race who performed this ambush.

“Lowly slime!” A young human gritted his teeth after seeing this, but he couldn’t do anything about it. The arrow struck Li Qiye with frightening speed.

“Finally dead!” Countless Blood experts felt great relief after seeing Li Qiye’s death. In their eyes, this devilish guy was simply too much. He was even able to blow away an imperial weapon with his bare hands! He would be a big threat to the entire Blood Race if he continued to live.

Even though it was not very honorable to kill him via ambush, this was still much better than leaving him as a future threat.

“Is he really dead?” A few humans couldn’t accept this sudden development. Everyone held Li Qiye in high regard, but he was ultimately a.s.sa.s.sinated.

It was fine to die in the hands of enemies in a direct confrontation, but to die via a.s.sa.s.sination... this was the most frustrating way to go for a genius!

A big shot took a careful look and murmured: “I’m afraid he is. This arrow was most likely shot out from an incredible crossbow.”

Even Chi Tianyu, who was lying there, awaiting his death, became stunned. He found this unbelievable as well.

Finally, someone dressed in black slowly climbed to the summit under the eyes of all the spectators. After seeing Li Qiye pinned to the ground, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and took off his black hat.

“Brother Sky!” Chi Tianyu was ecstatic after seeing this person clearly and cried out: “Thanks for saving me!”

Returning from the verge of death couldn’t have made him happier.

“Skybearing Monarch!” When people finally saw this person’s face, they took deep breaths and felt a chill inside.

“So shameless!” Another young human felt indignant: “The leading successor of the Blood-devil Tribe is only an ambus.h.i.+ng slime.”

“The victor becomes the king while the losers are vilified as bandits. For so many years, countless brilliant geniuses had been a.s.sa.s.sinated.” A young Blood immediately mocked him: “If Li Qiye was truly strong, he would have been able to dodge that arrow.”

“The Skybearing Monarch is worthy of his t.i.tle and being the future leader of our tribe. The moment he took action, he was able to get revenge for our fallen disciples!” Another Blood applauded.

One more Blood quickly joined the fun: “That’s right, this Li guy’s hands are stained with our Blood disciples’ blood. The Skybearing Monarch dispatching him today is still not enough to atone for all of his sins!”

The victor becomes the king while the losers are vilified as bandits — this phrase was not wrong at all. After killing Li Qiye, the monarch became the hero of the Blood-devil Tribe. It was no longer important which method he used to kill Li Qiye.

Although many human cultivators were unwilling to accept this, there was nothing they could do. They glanced at each other and felt a cold chill. The Blood Race was too unified, especially the Blood-devil Tribe. They always stood on the same side to fend off outsiders no matter the circ.u.mstances!

The monarch stared at Li Qiye’s corpse and boldly uttered: “I will kill anyone who murders members of my Blood Race no matter what!” His voice echoed across the entire G.o.dwar Mountain.

In fact, he felt very relieved at this moment. Finally, he was able to kill Li Qiye; if he didn’t, the guy would have always been a thorn in his side.

Many Blood disciples chanted in unison: “We will kill anyone who murders members of our Blood Race no matter what!” Some were even shouting the Skybearing Monarch’s t.i.tle in jubilation.
