Chapter 1684: Chapter 1673: However Many Come, That Many Die
Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
At the entrance of the dark forest.
The headless body of Wind Thunder Sect’s Ding Liangsheng lay motionless on the ground.
Except for Zuo Feibai, who had already prepared mentally, all others like the Heavenly Sound Sect’s prodigy Yu Shuiyao, Sword Feather Villa’s prodigy Jiang Yutang, and Star Cloud Sect’s prodigy Shi Tianning, were blinking in disbelief. In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was at most just exceptional in detoxification techniques.
They also thought Ye Chenfeng had some miraculous luck, as he had raised his power from the Initial Stage to the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm shortly after entering the Dragon Origin Secret Realm.
However, Ding Liangsheng of Wind Thunder Sect possessed the strength of the Middle Stage of the Third Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm; the fact that Ye Chenfeng could leap the ranks to defeat Ding Liangsheng effortlessly and kill him in seconds proved Ye Chenfeng’s combat power was not weak.
Especially the red lightning that had just enveloped Ye Chenfeng’s hand, which gave Jiang Yutang and others a sense of trepidation. In their eyes, this red lightning somewhat resembled the Nine Heavens Mystical Lightning.
But Jiang Yutang and the others would not think this red lightning was the actual Nine Heavens Mystical Lightning. It was known that the Nine Heavens Mystical Lightning ranked fifth among all Heavenly Thunders and had not appeared in the Earth Profound Realm for hundreds of years.
Ye Chenfeng’s expression remained indifferent. If he could completely release the Nine Heavens Mystical Lightning within his Sea of Consciousness, he would have sent Jiang Yutang and the others to the beyond long ago. He knew that the complete force of the Nine Heavens Mystical Lightning above his Sea of Consciousness was enough to instantly kill these so-called prodigies if it struck them.
The problem was, at present, Ye Chenfeng could only extract some power from the Nine Heavens Mystical Lightning each time. Sword Feather Villa’s Jiang Yutang and Star Cloud Sect’s Shi Tianning were both at the Peak of the Fourth Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm. As prodigies of the two major sects, they undoubtedly had their trump cards.
Currently, Ye Chenfeng was focused on helping Zuo Feibai quickly resolve the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique, so he didn’t want to get entangled with Jiang Yutang and the others.
As for the Heavenly Sound Sect’s disciple Shao Xiong, seeing Ye Chenfeng unharmed while Ding Liangsheng was dealt with, his heart was filled with dread, and his gaze towards Ye Chenfeng grew even darker.
Sword Feather Villa’s prodigy Jiang Yutang was burning with anger. Although Ding Liangsheng was not a disciple of Sword Feather Villa, he could no longer bear it. He initially regarded Ye Chenfeng as nothing but a jumping clown, yet this clown had made him kneel before and had now killed someone in front of him?
The Spiritual Qi River in Jiang Yutang’s meridians surged instantly, and his right hand reached for the Qiankun Bag at his waist, pulling out a white longsword.
This longsword exuded a chilling aura and was incredibly sharp, making it a High Grade Spiritual Artifact that could significantly enhance its wielder’s combat power.
The top prodigies from the four major sects all possessed High Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
As for Treasures, they were the treasures of High Grade sects and would only be used when the sect was in significant danger.
"You little bastard, I didn’t expect you to master the power of lightning control? Even so, you must die today, and I will make you willingly kowtow to death."
"The swordsmanship of Sword Feather Villa is not something anyone can experience. Today, you little bastard got lucky."
Jiang Yutang grasped the hilt of the white longsword with his right hand, and a chilling aura continuously emanated from the blade, causing Yu Shuiyao from the Heavenly Sound Sect, who was sitting on the ground beside him, to change her expression.
Initially, when Ye Chenfeng defeated Ding Liangsheng, Yu Shuiyao had felt a sense of relief. But now, seeing Jiang Yutang about to make a move, she did not believe that Ye Chenfeng would be a match for Jiang Yutang, as Jiang Yutang was a prodigy of Sword Feather Villa with strength at the Peak of the Fourth Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm.
Yu Shuiyao pressed her palms against the surface of the ancient zither, struggling to stand up from the ground. Her Spiritual Energy was gradually recovering, but she was still incapable of fighting immediately.
Star Cloud Sect’s prodigy Shi Tianning kept twisting his arm. His body looked much more robust. Shi Tianning was most proud of his physical strength, and although his power was currently only at the Peak of the Fourth Heavenly Layer in the Creation Realm, his physical strength had reached a level equal to the Initial Stage of the First Heavenly Layer in the Reincarnation Realm.
"Jiang Yutang, since this kid likes to jump around, let me handle him! Initially, I thought he wasn’t qualified to make me act, but now it seems he can barely entertain me for a while." Shi Tianning’s facial muscles kept twitching slightly as a vicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning preparing to take action, Shao Xiong of the Heavenly Sound Sect finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Just as the situation was about to explode.
A black shadow flashed from the depths of the dark forest. This shadow had a face covered with terrifying scars and wore an extremely mocking smile as it said in a gloomy voice, "The people of the Orthodox Sect are idiots. At a time like this, you’re still fighting among yourselves? Those hit by my Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique, prepare to all become my puppets!"
This black shadow that flashed out from the deep forest was one of the disciples of the Soul Devouring Sect, Gui Hufei.
At this moment, those afflicted by the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique, Zuo Feibai, Shao Xiong of the Heavenly Sound Sect, Gu Zhiguang of Sword Feather Villa, and Liu Yuanshi of Star Cloud Sect, had a red circle appear on their foreheads, presumably caused by the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique.
Seeing Gui Hufei appear, Shao Xiong and others couldn’t help but change their expressions drastically.
Even Sword Feather Villa’s prodigy Jiang Yutang and Star Cloud Sect’s prodigy Shi Tianning temporarily set aside their focus on Ye Chenfeng, as helping their own sect’s disciples break the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique was the priority in their eyes.
However.
When Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning were preparing to join forces for an attack, Gui Hufei’s figure once again swiftly dashed into the pitch-black forest, disdainfully saying, "If you have the guts, come in and face me head-on!"
Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning’s steps couldn’t help but pause slightly. They were unsure if Gui Hufei had set traps in the forest? If they rushed in like this, the situation would definitely not be in their favor.
However, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t care less. Since Gui Hufei was the only one in the forest, Ye Chenfeng still had confidence in defeating him, and at the same time, he wanted to quickly help Zuo Feibai undo the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique.
Ye Chenfeng quickly pulled Zuo Feibai into the forest, chasing in the direction Gui Hufei left.
Due to Gui Hufei’s sudden appearance, everyone’s attention was drawn to him. Ye Chenfeng suddenly dragging Zuo Feibai into the forest left the other onlookers stunned for a few seconds, and by the time they reacted, Ye Chenfeng and Zuo Feibai had already disappeared from their sight.
Yu Shuiyao, whose body was swaying unsteadily, couldn’t help but shout, "Ye Chenfeng, come back."
Jiang Yutang, the genius from Sword Feather Villa, hesitated for a few seconds and decided not to give chase. He said, "It’s obvious that the disciples from the Soul Devouring Sect want to lure us into the forest, then defeat us one by one. Making that little bastard a puppet isn’t a bad choice either."
Shi Tianning, the genius from Star Cloud Sect, also said, "Who does that little bastard think he is? Does he really believe he can be a match for a disciple from the Soul Devouring Sect? Even I don’t have a hundred percent certainty of defeating one."
"Let that little bastard explore the way for us! To capture that disciple from the Soul Devouring Sect, we need to devise a foolproof plan."
As Jiang Yutang and the others considered Ye Chenfeng’s actions extremely foolish.
In the pitch-black forest.
Ye Chenfeng was sensing every rustle in the surroundings while leading Zuo Feibai forward quickly.
About halfway through the forest.
Gui Hufei’s figure appeared again, his scar-covered face filled with disdain, saying, "Didn’t expect to lure in two idiots? It seems the intelligence of your Orthodox Sect people isn’t that high either!"
Gui Hufei’s cold eyes fixed on Ye Chenfeng, continuing, "You’re trying to help the kid next to you break the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique? Unfortunately, you’re too weak, daring to follow me in here with just a Creation Realm at the Second Heavenly Layer Peak? Looks like I won’t even need the traps I set up in advance."
As the smile on Gui Hufei’s face grew, the scars on his face writhed like earthworms, looking extremely disgusting.
Gui Hufei, unwavering in his gaze at Ye Chenfeng, waved his arm confidently, saying, "Prepare to become my puppet too!"
As his arm moved, spiritual energy surged within Gui Hufei, and a dozen tiny red specks of light shot towards Ye Chenfeng. These specks were almost invisible to the naked eye and moved at such extreme speed that Ye Chenfeng couldn’t react in time.
Meanwhile, Zuo Feibai, standing by, immediately shouted, "Ancestor, dodge quickly, this is the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique."
But it was already too late.
A dozen red specks swiftly penetrated Ye Chenfeng’s forehead, soon seeping into his Sea of Consciousness.
Gui Hufei said indifferently, "Rest assured! This time, your Orthodoxy Sect disciples will one by one become puppets of our Soul Devouring Sect."
Zuo Feibai gazed at Ye Chenfeng in despair, having thought his ancestor could break the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique.
The expression on Ye Chenfeng’s face did not change as he introspected his Sea of Consciousness, seeing that twelve tiny Soul-Devouring Scorpions had appeared. As these scorpions attempted to devour Ye Chenfeng’s divine sense, his divine sense stirred, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lightning above his Sea of Consciousness emitted red thunderlight.
Bolts of red lightning ravaged the Sea of Consciousness.
The twelve Soul-Devouring Scorpions were instantly obliterated by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lightning.
Ye Chenfeng had long learned from Old Bai and Old Hei that with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lightning in his Sea of Consciousness, he had no reason to fear the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique.
These Soul-Devouring Scorpions were raised by Gui Hufei with his own blood since childhood, and there was a connection between them. Once the Soul-Devouring Scorpions died, it would have a slight impact on Gui Hufei as well.
Gui Hufei’s face instantly turned much paler, a surge of blood rose within him, and he stared in disbelief, shouting, "You, you actually killed all my Soul-Devouring Scorpions?"
Ye Chenfeng, with the Qingyun Sword hanging behind him, said indifferently, "You can continue to perform the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique. As many Soul-Devouring Scorpions as you have raised with your own blood, I guarantee I’ll kill them all."
Zuo Feibai, hearing the conversation between Gui Hufei and Ye Chenfeng, showed joy on his face, knowing now that his ancestor was fine and really had broken the Soul-Devouring Puppetry Technique.
