Chapter 987: Sneak Attack (2/2)

His feat today immediately propelled his position in the tribe like a s.h.i.+p on water. Many people now supported him, and this would pave the way for him to eventually lead the entire tribe.

The monarch sonorously declared: “Today, I will take Li Qiye’s head and hang it outside of the Holy City so that people will know the fate of those who kill our race’s disciples!”

His declaration was heard by a lot of people. Many Blood disciples cheered in response. Earlier, the Blood Race felt very repressed due to Li Qiye’s actions, but now, they could hold their heads high again.

The monarch smiled after seeing the positive response from the Blood disciples. This event was enough for him to become famous in this world. His position in the Blood Race would soon be unparalleled.

The monarch came closer to Li Qiye’s body to chop off his head so that he could hang it outside the city. Only by doing so would his fame spread even more; this way, others would know that it was him who killed Li Qiye.

“Pluff!” Blood spurted everywhere. When everyone thought that the monarch had chopped off Li Qiye’s head, they were completely stunned by the actual unbelievable development.

The monarch took several steps back. His chest cavity now had a terrifying b.l.o.o.d.y hole. His heart was ripped out from his body.

“What is going on?” Many people jumped from seeing this with widened eyes.

At this time, they saw Li Qiye — who should have been dead — stand up. There was a heart still beating in his hand, the monarch’s heart!

The crowd gasped from seeing this. Who would have thought that the supposedly dead Li Qiye would actually manage to claw out the monarch’s heart?

“Yes, well done!” The human cultivators became relieved after seeing this. Some of them even cheered in response.

“No, this can’t be…” The monarch could no longer stand straight. He stared at Li Qiye in disbelief while mumbling: “No… no one has ever survived the G.o.dslaying Crossbow!”

Li Qiye tightened his grip and the heart in his hand turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y mush. He smiled and slowly pulled out the arrow from his body: “Not a bad arrow. Unfortunately, it is still far from being able to kill me.”

Having said that, he looked at the monarch and said: “I have been waiting for this for quite some time.”

He casually threw the arrow. “Whoos.h.!.+” The monarch couldn’t dodge it and was pinned to the ground by the arrow.

The truth was that Li Qiye knew people were watching him even before he entered the G.o.dwar Mountain. He was only playing dead to lead the snakes out of their nest. He wanted to see how many people from the Blood Race actually came for him.

“Haha, the leader of the Blood-devil Tribe is only a wretch. He’s not worth mentioning before our human race’s ‘Fierce’!” A human cultivator excitedly shouted after seeing the reversal.

The majority of the Blood disciples had ugly demeanors. They couldn’t help but become speechless. They were very excited about the monarch’s success earlier, but now, it was just another slap to their faces. Even a sneak attack couldn’t kill Li Qiye!

“All of you, come out now or else I’ll slowly flay his flesh. I want to see the people in this world hear the pitiful screams of the Blood-devil Tribe’s future leader.” Li Qiye held a saber in his hand and gently slapped the monarch’s face with it while leisurely smiling.

His voice was not loud, but many people could hear it easily.

Not long after, a group eventually reached the summit. Although their cultivations were suppressed on this mountain, they still emitted an aura that would cause others to tremble.

The spectators were startled after seeing this. Someone murmured after seeing this group dressed in black: “The Blood-devil Tribe came prepared, they didn’t try to kill Li Qiye on the spur of the moment.”

Li Qiye looked at them and leisurely said: “Since you are here, take off your masks and be direct. Your tribe shouldn’t be acting like rats that don’t even dare to show your faces.”

Someone snorted among the dozens of black-clad men. Eventually, they all took off their masks and revealed their faces. Every single one of them was a famous character unafraid of showing their true ident.i.ties.

“An ancestor from the w.a.n.g Clan, Second Ancestor of the Blood-devil Tribe…” Many people were astonished to see the faces of these old men. They were all famous ancestors of the Blood-devil Tribe. Some of them had been reclusive for a long time, yet they actually came out today!

“Two eternal existences, eight legendary masters, twenty-seven ancestors…” Someone quietly counted the people in this group. After finis.h.i.+ng the tally, even the Virtuous Paragons here shuddered.

The Blood-devil Tribe actually sent out this many ancestors to the G.o.dwar Mountain! They were only short of G.o.d-Monarchs, but this was still a mobilization of epic proportions.

Even a fool would understand that it was a grand scheme. The tribe had wanted to take Li Qiye’s life long ago!
