Hearing the slightly provocative words from Ye Qiu, Ouyang Xuan stared hard at Ye Qiu, his expression growing even more furious!!!
Moreover, as Ouyang Xuan's anger intensified, Ye Qiu could clearly feel the chill emanating from Ouyang Xuan growing stronger, making Ye Qiu appear calm on the surface, but deep down he couldn't help but feel a bit shaky.
Knowing well enough that he was currently no match for Ouyang Xuan, if Ouyang Xuan decided to act, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that he would die at Ouyang Xuan's hands, yet Ye Qiu still provoked Ouyang Xuan, as if madly testing the edge of death.
Of course, Ye Qiu wasn't courting death; he had no choice but to do so.
Because only this way, would Ouyang Xuan and the others not notice that Ye Qiu's power was about to fall to the King Realm. Only this way could Ye Qiu buy more time to find a solution to deal with the Ouyang Family's Divine Realm powerhouses!
Even though Ye Qiu had already fallen back to the strength of the King Realm, he hadn't yet fallen into a hopeless situation.
Because, in Ye Qiu's pocket, there were still several pills remaining in that pill bottle. As long as Ye Qiu could consume them and leverage their effects, he should be able to temporarily restore his strength to the Divine Realm level to deal with Ouyang Xuan and the others.
The only issue lies in the fact that the pill Ge Zhou gave to Ye Qiu forcibly stimulates the potential of the human body to enhance one's strength, which comes at a huge physical toll, and after the effects wear off, due to body overload, Ye Qiu's meridians and Dantian would suffer severe backlash.
If he forcibly consumes pills one after another after the effects wear off, not only would it fail to enhance his strength, but it would exacerbate the backlash, worsening Ye Qiu's condition.
The reason why Ye Qiu wants to buy time is to alleviate the internal load and backlash until he can take the next pill!
As long as he can once again unleash Divine Realm-level inner strength, Ye Qiu is quite confident about dealing with Ouyang Xuan and the powerhouses of the Ouyang Family.
But surprisingly, although Ye Qiu provocatively said something to Ouyang Xuan, his calm appearance and Bluffing really fooled Ouyang Xuan!
Despite Ouyang Xuan glaring at Ye Qiu with extreme anger and malice, wanting to kill Ye Qiu instantly,
his reason still calmed him down.
Though Ouyang Xuan was reluctant to admit it, he had to agree that he went all out just now, even using the Dao in his possession, but he still lost to Ye Qiu!
In other words, Ye Qiu's strength is even greater than his!!!
Even if Ye Qiu used some kind of method, the power Ye Qiu could unleash was stronger than what he could do with all his might!!!
Not to mention, he just clashed with Ye Qiu and was hit by hundreds of Sword Shadows. Even though he managed to forcibly dissipate the power of these Sword Shadows with all his might, Ouyang Xuan still ended up severely injured.
If not for relying on his strong strength, struggling to hold on, Ouyang Xuan might not even be able to stand firm!!!
And Ye Qiu, who appeared to still have strength left, left Ouyang Xuan completely baffled about Ye Qiu's state and remaining strength. However, Ouyang Xuan was certain that Ye Qiu's condition was definitely better than his!
Therefore, if Ouyang Xuan insisted on forcing an attack, the one who'd die might actually be himself.
This resulted in Ouyang Xuan glaring hatefully at Ye Qiu, being unable to suppress the killing intent within, yet ultimately not making a move!!!
Watching Ouyang Xuan hold back, the few Divine Realm powerhouses of the Ouyang Family looked at the two from afar, feeling somewhat tense, not daring to come closer, let alone attack Ye Qiu.
Having witnessed both their clashes and Ye Qiu's terrifying power, the Divine Realm powerhouses of the Ouyang Family genuinely didn't feel they were a match against Ye Qiu. To them, even if they attacked Ye Qiu, they feared it would lead to their deaths.
Moreover, after defeating Ouyang Xuan just now, Ye Qiu still appeared to be more than capable, making them even more uncertain and hesitant to act.
Indeed, Ye Qiu's Bluffing worked.
Seeing that the people of the Ouyang Family hadn't charged towards him for the time being, Ye Qiu felt a slight relief in his heart.
However, Ye Qiu's mental vigilance didn't relax; he continued to stare at Ouyang Xuan and kept a close watch on the nearby Divine Realm powerhouses, remaining on his guard to prevent them from suddenly deciding to attack him!!!
Just hold on a little longer, and he should be able to take the pill again and restore Divine Realm-level inner strength!
Feeling that the backlash and pain inside his body had lessened significantly, Ye Qiu thought quietly to himself.
But before that, he must continue to stall Ouyang Xuan and the others, divert their attention so that they wouldn't discover his Bluff.
So, looking at Ouyang Xuan, Ye Qiu shrugged and lightly said, "Actually, you're already quite strong. Just a little more, and I might have lost to you."
"What are you trying to say?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xuan squinted his eyes, looking hostilely at Ye Qiu, as he didn't believe Ye Qiu would bring up such nonsense without a reason.
"Actually, in that last move just now, I held back, or else you'd already be dead."
Ye Qiu sneered as he looked at Ouyang Xuan, then asked him, "Do you know why I didn't kill you?"
When he heard Ye Qiu say he held back and that's why he wasn't dead, Ouyang Xuan's first reaction was to become furious, but thinking about their previous clash and Ye Qiu's sudden explosion of terrifying power, he couldn't help but feel some dread!!!
He couldn't be sure if Ye Qiu was telling the truth or not, but considering the devastating power Ye Qiu had unleashed, which completely overwhelmed his own techniques, it was entirely possible that he could have been killed!!!
With uncertainty in his heart, Ouyang Xuan merely gave Ye Qiu a cold snort and said nothing more.
"Last time at your Ouyang Family, I asked you a question, which unfortunately got interrupted."
Continuing, Ye Qiu's tone grew colder, "So now I ask again, tell me, where is the Phoenix?"
"The Phoenix's whereabouts?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xuan raised an eyebrow and immediately sneered, "I remember now, you seemed to have asked me that question. It looks like this woman named Phoenix is very important to you."
