Ge Zhou could be considered a half-baked cultivator, although when it came to fighting, he might not be more powerful than some ordinary thugs.

However, like Ye Qiu, Ge Zhou was equally capable of sensing the terrifying power rapidly closing in from outside the basement!!!

So, Ge Zhou knew as well that the situation had become extremely dire and the time was very urgent!!!

Yet, Ge Zhou had no other recourse; the only thing he could do was continue refining the Pill, trying his best to successfully complete it!!!

If anything went wrong and this batch of Pill was not refined properly and accidentally got ruined, then it would truly be the end.

After all, having lived for hundreds of years, Ge Zhou was clear about what he could do and what he should do, and even in this incredibly tense atmosphere, his actions were composed, showing not the slightest pause or panic.

"Looks like there's no choice but to fight!"

Feeling the terrifying aura drawing nearer, Ye Qiu clenched his fists, took a heavy look, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.

"Old Mr. Ge, I'll figure out a way to hold them off. If worse comes to worst, you should hide."

Taking a deep breath and then exhaling a breath of turbid air, he relaxed his tense nerves slightly, and then Ye Qiu earnestly said to Ge Zhou, "Their primary target is me. With a bit of luck, you might be able to escape this calamity."

After speaking, Ye Qiu stepped out of the Alchemy Room and came to the underground chamber's lobby.

As soon as Ye Qiu arrived at the lobby, he saw the steel door of the underground chamber kicked open with a bang, and a square-faced middle-aged man walked in from outside.

Ouyang Kuang, the Punishment Hall Elder of the Ouyang Family!!!

"I've found you, boy."

Locking eyes with Ye Qiu, Ouyang Kuang instantly revealed a cold smile, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty gleam.

Just by meeting Ouyang Kuang's gaze, the tangible aura of terror and pressure emanating from him made Ye Qiu clearly feel as if a massive mountain suddenly pressed down on his back, causing his legs to slightly bend, and Ye Qiu was almost crushed to the point of kneeling on the ground!!!

Fortunately, at the same time, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, relying on his willpower to forcibly withstand this oppressive force, straighten his knees and back, and unyieldingly continued to stare down Ouyang Kuang.

He is, after all, Demon King Ye Qiu!!!

Therefore, it's impossible for him to be crushed by mere intimidation!!!

"That's quite an impressive look in your eyes."

Watching Ye Qiu's unyielding appearance, Ouyang Kuang clicked his tongue and his voice showed some regret, "It's just a shame that your strength is too weak. Otherwise, you'd certainly make me excited enough to have a good fight."

"Farewell, boy. Hopefully, in your next life, you'll be born well and come find me for revenge!"

With the words falling, Ouyang Kuang struck.

Ouyang Kuang only took one step and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qiu, reaching out to grab him!!!

It seemed that Ye Qiu had previously dodged Ouyang Kuang's punches, so his speed this time was even faster!

Even though Ye Qiu had already tensed his nerves, muscles, and eyes to keep focused on Ouyang Kuang's movements, keeping fully alert.

But when Ouyang Kuang suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qiu and reached out to grab him, Ye Qiu still couldn't react immediately!!!

He only felt his view blur, and Ouyang Kuang, who was moments ago far away, suddenly appeared right in front of him, with one hand already extended before his eyes.

The action was incredibly fast!!!

Even with Ye Qiu's superior dynamic vision and reaction ability, he couldn't trace Ouyang Kuang's movement trajectory!!!

By the time Ye Qiu was able to react and wanted to retreat desperately, it was already too late.

Ouyang Kuang grabbed Ye Qiu's head with one hand, as if grabbing a sack, and fiercely slammed it towards the ground!!!

Bang!!!

Ye Qiu's head collided violently with the steel floor of the basement, and the terrifying power instantly dented the steel ground, creating a large depression half a meter wide!!!

Poof…

Ye Qiu's head bounced up inside the depression, spewing out a mouthful of blood, feeling his head buzzing, with his brain seemingly in turmoil, almost losing consciousness.

Of course, this was due to Ye Qiu's quick response, having used Inner Strength to guard his body and head in advance, reducing much of the impact and force; otherwise, that slam would have left the steel-plated ground with the depression, switching to an ordinary person's head...

I'm afraid that it would have been like smashing a tomato with a hammer, directly shattered to pieces with brain matter splattered everywhere.

Even though Ye Qiu had reacted promptly and protected his head, the impact almost took his life!!!

Just one move and it's already so lethal, clearly highlighting the enormous difference between Ouyang Kuang and Ye Qiu, as far apart as if separated by a chasm!!!

Furthermore, don't forget, although Ouyang Kuang didn't immediately smash Ye Qiu's head into pieces, his five fingers still tightly grasped Ye Qiu's head, lifting it again, fiercely slamming it towards the ground once more!!!

If once wasn't enough to kill, no problem. Just do it again, won't it?

At this rate, he'll truly be killed!!!

At that moment, in Ye Qiu's buzzing, dizzy head, a sudden thought flashed through, as he once again bit down intensely onto the wound on his tongue, using the momentary sharp pain to return to clarity.

Then, as Ouyang Kuang grabbed Ye Qiu's head and slammed it toward the ground, Ye Qiu moved!!!

You could see Ye Qiu's hands fiercely gripping onto Ouyang Kuang's arm holding him, his legs tightly clamped around Ouyang Kuang's waist, then his body turned sharply, utilizing inertia and leverage along with all the force bursting forth from within him, trying to topple Ouyang Kuang's body!!!

This was the only resistance Ye Qiu could muster, the disparity in their strength too great, making direct opposition to Ouyang Kuang's power impossible!!!

Ye Qiu could only use some techniques, borrowing strength to confront Ouyang Kuang.

Though these were predominantly rudimentary grappling techniques, at this moment, they were unexpectedly effective!!!
