Chapter Eighty-Seven: Tarot Gate Six - Super God Cannon

  The cow let out a loud cry, "You're done for, you're really done for... no one can withstand the combined wrath of the Wind and Tarot families..."

  What a pity! Niu Da didn't even get to finish his last words in this world, for that basin-sized lightning ball had already engulfed him.

  Ye Qing's face showed a hint of regret as he said, "Thanks for reminding me!"

  It's unknown whether Niu Da can still hear, but Niu Er must have heard. Until now, Ye Qing finally understood what made Niu Er the most formidable - his escape technique was refined to perfection.

  Ye Qing was using Lei's team to burn people alive, and the one being burned was even Niu Er's own older brother. Yet Niu Er didn't say a single harsh word, and instead directly spewed fire like a rocket. That really was an incredible feat of fire-spewing! Ye Qing had never seen anything like it before. This wasn't right - in all the scripts, the big villain would always shout something like "You just wait, you're doomed, I'm going to go get help!" before escaping. Was Niu Er mute or something?! If he had wasted any more time talking before running away, Ye Qing could have killed him instantly! This Niu Er escaped way too suddenly!

  But the other party didn't miss a single thing they should do, not only did they turn the hostages into ashes, but also took out the two loyal and dedicated assassins, silencing them in the process. Although the divine flame's power wasn't as great as Lei Yun's, its recoil was absolutely beyond Lei Yun's. Ye Qing even thought that Niu Er's divine flame could directly overcome the Earth's gravity, allowing him to leave the planet at a speed surpassing the first cosmic velocity.

  Ye Qing stared blankly as Niu Er disappeared into the horizon, turning into a small black dot in an instant. Niu Er escaped so decisively and without any hesitation, was this the legendary Fire Shadow Escape?

  On the surface, Ye Qing won this battle of ambush, but in his heart, he was secretly vomiting blood. Not only did he fail to protect the hostage, but he also let a scourge escape. He would have to bear the wrath of the Wind and Tarot families. Originally, he just wanted to expand his own power, but unexpectedly, not only did his power not grow, but he also provoked two superpowers for nothing.

  Ye Qing sat wearily on the lush green slope in the mountain valley, his body and mind exhausted. At this moment, the sky was just turning a pale white, it was the freshest moment of air for the day, and Ye Qing, who had just finished a big battle, was taking deep breaths of fresh air.

  The morning wind is gentle, the grass and trees are lush, but those who have passed away are gone, and things are no longer as they were. How to balance the development of one's power with protecting those around them is a painful conundrum for Ye Qing, who is deep in thought. Perhaps, he thinks, it would be better to reveal his true form and don the blood skull mask with its sharp horns?

  Although Ye Qing can increase the power of Shadow Fist by wearing the Blood Skull Mask, it's not necessary to explain it to Chui Bao Nu. However, if he is more cautious and puts on the mask in advance, he might give them a surprise. Since they have already decided to go all out, why bother with so much opening chatter? Niú èr's experience is indeed rich; almost every script has the stubborn enemy leaving behind a ruthless remark before escaping, but Niú èr simply doesn't say a word and directly annihilates the four of them while performing Huǒ Yǐng Dùn. What a genius!

  Ye Qing suddenly remembered that there was still a group of people waiting for him in Wen Qiang's villa, and he had just let the troublemaker escape. Wouldn't they be in extreme danger? Ye Qing casually beckoned, and the Mei Hua 3 floating in mid-air flew into his hand. What a fine piece! This was the second time Ye Qing had seen Tarot cards. He couldn't help but take out his own Black Peach 2 and place the two Tarot cards on top of each other, shuffling them up and down repeatedly. Ye Qing suddenly had a vague epiphany, although he didn't gain any specific insight, it was enough to surprise him. Perhaps this was the only gain from his recent defeat.

  Moreover, Ye Qing looked at the two Tarot cards in his hand, warm and delicate as jade, unaffected by water or fire, and immediately fell in love with them. Now, Ye Qing is like a stamp collector, crazily wanting to collect all 78 Tarot cards, so that he can often have epiphanies. This idea was like the seeds of wild grass, taking root and sprouting in Ye Qing's mind, then growing wildly.

  Ye Qing stood up with a sudden burst of energy after making a clear and decisive move, then swung both hands simultaneously, releasing two horizontal wind curtains. The surrounding ashes immediately dispersed wildly in all directions, leaving no trace of battle on the ground.

  Ye Qing took out the Kitchen God's treasured knife and immediately disappeared into the horizon in another direction.

  Ye Qing arrived at Wen Qiang's villa, finding that everyone was anxiously waiting for her, except for two people, Mo Zi and Mo Caihe, who were immersed in the joy of their father-daughter reunion.

  Everyone looked at Ye Qing's pale and exhausted face, listening to Ye Qing recount the tragic situation of the swallow's song and dance, they all clenched their fists, gritting their teeth in anger, Tie Niu was even impulsively wanting to go fight to the death.

  Ye Qing knew that time was pressing, so he immediately gave orders. Except for Wen Qiang, everyone else followed their own path. When the Divine Kitchen Knife slashed through the sky, Ye Qing calmly said: "This time I've gotten myself into a huge mess. All of you follow Huang Laoxie to Qingye Taoyuan to take refuge. Of course, after Huang Laoxie, Tie Niu and Ji Man play at Qingye Taoyuan for two days, they will still need to return to Xijing. As for Wu Dalang, you all should go back to school!"

  Others had no opinion, but Tie Mu proudly said: "Tie Mu swore to follow the young master, only in death. Moreover, Tie Mu was confident that he still had the strength to protect the young master for one more battle."

  Wu Dalang and Zhang Yulong actually wanted to go to Qingye Taoyuan for a stroll, after all, Ji Mei and Mo Caihe are both outstanding beauties. However, they also have self-awareness. Zhang Yulong's fourth rule of flirting is that for women who can only be looked at but not touched, one must respect them from afar. Apparently Wu Dalang knew this too.

  As a result, Wu Dalang and Zhang Yulong still chose to follow Ye Qing. If the situation really became irretrievable, they could withdraw at any time, because they were two ordinary people. As long as they were casually placed somewhere, the enemy would not even have the interest to take a look at them.

  Ye Qing took them to the edge of the Green Leaf Forest, instructing Huang Laoxie and others to be careful, then took Tie Mu, Wu Dalang, Zhang Yulong, and began returning to Wen Qiang's villa.

  Tie Mu reported the information he had gathered to Ye Qing on their way back, and Wu Dalang and Zhang Yulong were already stunned. Ye Qing was also shocked, originally Tarot Gate was so terrifying? This was just a sect that had risen for two days, how could it have so many forces joining? And this was only within the borders of Huaxia, Ye Qing absolutely believed that Tarot Gate would not only develop its power in Huaxia. Even the famous Golden Bank was just one of Tarot Gate's black pawns.

  After half an incense stick, Ye Qing and the others returned to Wen Qiang's villa. Everyone was shocked and exclaimed in unison. Is this still the villa they left before? How could it become a ruin? Ye Qing had never seen such a luxurious villa being destroyed so thoroughly. Not only were the buildings on the ground reduced to rubble by fire and smashing, but also excavated three feet underground. The fresh soil was mixed with black debris, which was simply shocking.

  Ye Qing really wanted to cry, how could he leave Wen Qiang alone? He could have brought him back with him, even if it meant flying around in the air. For more than 20 years, Wen Ruo had been fine, but as soon as Ye Qing changed his name to Wen Qiang, disaster struck and their home was destroyed. Ye Qing grasped his hair, squatting in front of the ruins, thinking painfully.

  Obviously, Taro's revenge was swift and cruel. Ye Qing immediately ordered Tie Mu: "You all saw that, this is absolutely not something you can participate in anymore. Tie Mu, escort Wu Dalang and Zhang Yulon back to school, and you don't need to come back looking for me again!"

  Tie Mu's eyes were welling up with tears, and he nodded painfully. Zhang Yulon and Wu Dalang had already been scared out of their wits and wouldn't dare to raise any objections again. Scholars often don't shed tears until they see a coffin; now that they've seen one, it wasn't a wasted trip after all.

  Ye Qing walked alone, circling the ruins to see if he could find any clues left behind by Tarot. Now it was no longer Tarot looking for trouble with him, but also Ye Qing looking for trouble with Tarot. If he didn't uproot this massive entity, he would live in endless terror forever.

  Ye Qing even held up the two Tarot cards, shouting loudly, "Tarot Gate, a bunch of rats and ants, only know how to assassinate and destroy, now I'm standing here, come and take the Tarot cards!"

  In the early morning suburbs, everything was empty and desolate, without even an echo. Ye Qing now felt like he had clenched his fists, but had nowhere to vent his emotions, that feeling of weightlessness and dizziness made Ye Qing feel so painful he wanted to go mad.

  Suddenly, Ye Qing felt that a thousand meters away in the grass thicket, there was a figure flashing about. Just like someone who had fallen off a cliff and grabbed onto a branch on the precipice, without even a second's delay, Ye Qing flew over to where the figure was flashing about.

  When Ye Qing saw the person clearly, he was shocked and burst out laughing wildly towards the sky.

  "Haha, great, great, Wen Qiang you didn't die?"

  "Ah, benefactor, I, Wen Qiang, have not yet repaid your kindness, how could I die?"

  Ye Qing patted Wen Qiang's shoulder, and then Wen Qiang felt his body lighten, and he flew into the air. Ye Qing cast a protective shield, and together with Wen Qiang, sat on the broad back of the Tianlong Dragon Horse, took out a pile of snacks and drinks, and the two hid in a dark cloud high in the sky, eating and chatting.

  Wen Qiang's endurance made Ye Qing look at him with new eyes. Wen Qiang's composure was even more terrifying than Mo Zi's. The first time he saw the legendary monster-like Tian Long Qu, and the second time in mid-air flight, Wen Qiang actually remained calm and composed, without a change in expression or a racing heart. If his heart rate accelerated, it would be impossible to deceive Ye Qing.

  It seems that being called "weak" for over 20 years isn't entirely without gain. Water extinguishes fire, gentleness overcomes strength; this composure and endurance are a rare kind of potential!

  Wen Qiang, after all, is the confidant and strategist of Qian Pi and Qian Ba. His understanding of Jinse Qianzhuang shouldn't be less than that of its master, Qian Kun. Not only did Wen Qiang come up with a solution to resolve the crisis for Deputy Mayor Ji, but he also devised an astonishing plan to take over Jinse Qianzhuang!
