Chapter 1548: Instantly Ending the Battle

Given Ye Zhangqing's personality, under normal circumstances he definitely wouldn't be this desperate.

They've already become cultivators, they already have a system, why are they still risking their lives?

If it weren't for the demon race's mighty advance, a matter of life and death, Ye Zhangqing couldn't possibly be swinging the spatula so fast it's about to smoke, still here huffing and puffing while frying.

I thought the battle was about to end, but it's still dragging on now—this is absurd.

His face darkened, Ye Zhangqing picked up the spatula and walked out of the cabin onto the deck.

At this moment, the surroundings of the Xingkong Ship were still noisy with people; seeing Ye Zhangqing approach, those who had been busy lowering their heads to eat all greeted him voluntarily.

"Elder Ye has arrived."

"Ye Erge is here, there's enough food, Ye Erge, take a break."

"Enough to eat? I didn't come to ask about that."

His gaze swept around, and he happened to see Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er, the two women.

Compared to others, the two women's eating manners were obviously much more elegant, and they ate very little.

As for Qiu Baiyi, needless to say, as his woman, she naturally wouldn't go without food.

As for Bai Xian'er, although she has no particular relation to Ye Zhangqing, she ultimately joined the Dao Yi Shengdi because of him.

When she first joined the Dao Yi Shengdi, Ye Zhangqing had promised her that in the future they would eat together with Qiu Baiyi and the other women.

Anyway, feeding more people isn't a hassle, and it can also win over an Emperor Sovereign powerhouse for the sect—why not?

You should know that, for other factions, trying to win over an Emperor Sovereign powerhouse would come at an unimaginable cost.

Just like the Medicine King Pavilion before, the annual tribute given to Bai Xian'er was literally an astronomical figure.

Seeing both women present, Ye Zhangqing approached with a dark face.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's complexion somewhat unpleasant, Qiu Baiyi asked concernedly.

In response, Ye Zhangqing didn't waste words, speaking bluntly.

"Are they holding back on the battlefield?"

Hearing this, Qiu Baiyi paused, then silently nodded.

It's not just holding back; it's practically letting them go—absolutely not killing if they can be spared, not injuring if avoidable, definitely not using heavy force.

Seeing Qiu Baiyi like that, Ye Zhangqing sighed helplessly, knowing it would be this way.

However, saying this shows the battle situation should be stable.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

Don't think that because people will go to extremes for food, they still know what's important.

If they weren't absolutely sure of victory, they wouldn't dare hold back so much—otherwise they'd lose their heads and still be eating crap; everyone knows this.

Looking at Qiu Baiyi and the two women, Ye Zhangqing said in a low voice.

"Tell the ancestors, hurry up and end the battle; whoever slays a demon can come to the canteen to eat."

Ye Zhangqing felt that if he didn't say something, these guys could keep fighting for ten days or half a month.

Meanwhile, I'd have to stand at the stove, swinging the spatula for ten days or half a month.

That person would go crazy from swinging it.

Hearing this, Qiu Baiyi nodded, then put down her bowl and chopsticks and returned to the battlefield.

Bai Xian'er, seeing that, also closely followed.

The two women were not like others, with the appearance of starving ghosts reincarnated; they ate from a small stove every day, even had afternoon tea, and their treatment was completely different from others.

Upon returning to the battlefield, they immediately conveyed Ye Zhangqing's meaning to Yun Xiantai and the others.

Receiving Qiu Baiyi's spiritual voice transmission, Yun Xiantai and the others were stunned—this is going too far, did it make Little Ye Zhangqing unhappy?

But since Ye Zhangqing said that, they definitely can't hold back; otherwise, if Ye Zhangqing also throws down his tools, that would be real trouble.

Not only Yun Xiantai, but the crowd of Emperor Sovereign space pirates also understand this principle.

Moreover, Ye Erge's words—how could they not obey?

So, in an instant, Yun Xiantai and the others changed their previous 'declining momentum' and instantly switched from defense to offense.

The demon emperors, who originally seemed to be fighting desperately, were instantly stunned by this.

What's going on? Just a moment ago they were hiding; now they're pumped up, becoming so fierce?

Before, they felt insulted, so the demon emperors had the posture of fighting to the death.

But now, when it's Yun Xiantai and the others' turn to fight desperately, these demon emperors are bewildered.

Moreover, how do these guys' combat powers still remain at peak condition?

After fighting this long, don't these guys have any loss at all?

Even elixirs can't achieve that—no matter what you eat, there has to be consumption.

Yet Yun Xiantai and the others have no consumption at all; Ye Zhangqing's meals, while I wouldn't say their effect is better than elixirs, are definitely easier to absorb.

One bite is one bite; unlike elixirs, which need refinement, otherwise they can only be slowly absorbed.

Just now they were merely acting; now they don't need to act, everyone exerted full strength, and the situation instantly reversed.

The two sides, which appeared evenly matched, saw the demon race instantly suppressed again.

If it weren't for the sake of eating this meal, these demons wouldn't be saying they're dead to the last, and the battle would basically be over.

But now it's the same; with the outbreak of Haotu Shijie and the space pirates, the demons suddenly couldn't hold on.

Being beaten, they retreated step by step, and casualties quickly increased.

Originally, many demons should have been slain earlier, but because Haotu Shijie and the space pirates intentionally kept them alive, they've managed to persist until now.

But now it's unnecessary; moreover, Ye Zhangqing also said that whoever slays a demon can go to the canteen to eat.

Depending on the strength of the demon slain, the frequency and standard of meals also differ.

Anyway, after slaying a demon emperor, we must also have a chance to order food, right?

So at this moment, the Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates are literally risking their lives.

Each demon emperor gets a chance to order food—how could we miss that? We must order him ten or eight.

"Damn, what are these guys up to again?"

Facing the suddenly risen Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates and Yun Xiantai and others, the demon emperors are suffering terribly.

Just now everything was fine—why are they back now? Can we even fight properly?

Many Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates defected, leaving the demon emperors feeling insulted; now the Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates have gone all out, hoping to end the battle quickly.

These demon emperors are suddenly completely unaccustomed and have no idea how to cope.

Moreover, after fighting this long and adding the earlier reckless assault, the demon emperors have suffered heavy losses.

As for the Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates, they can occasionally grab a meal, and their condition is obviously much better.

Even when wounded, they recover faster, and their Línglì consumption is minimal.

Thus, after the Space Pirates got serious—especially with their numerical edge—the first demon emperor soon fell.

He was slain outright by the Zhao family three brothers working together.

With the first demon emperor's death, the battlefield fell silent for a moment.

The fall of a demon emperor means the demon race's demon emperors can no longer be restrained.

This is hardly good news for the demon race.
