Spirit Realm Chapter 443-447

Chapter 443: Trading Injury For Life!

Du Xiangyang and the six Illusory Demon Sect girls who were hiding in the shadows and observing all cried out at once.

A hint of shock even emerged on Luo Chen’s cold face as his eyebrows wrinkled.

He was also shocked by Qin Lie’s ferocity.

By mutilating himself, Qin Lie had broken free from this sure death scenario, even though it had caused him some grievous injuries!

Right now, the thin and sharp Rainbow Sound Sword was still stringing Qin Lie together with Lin Yenian. Although Qin Lie was screaming harshly, Lin Yenian had drawn his last breath.

“Fearsome!” Du Xiangyang thought silently.

Xue Moyan’s clear eyes also shone with a hint of admiration as she spoke softly, “A truly fearsome person should look like him. They must not only be cruel to their enemies, but also cruel to themselves. Such people generally have hearts and minds far more tenacious than others, will also be the ones who survive in the endwhen fighting against an opponent of equal strength.”

Pan Qianqian and the other Illusory Demon Sect girls all nodded lightly. Their bright eyes all shined with the light of shock and fear.

They were all intimidated by Qin Lie.

“Thank goodness I was smart enough to avoid provoking this fellow any further. Otherwise, I would’ve met with severe consequences. This lunatic, this fellow is a true lunatic. I must avoid him in the future…” Du Xiangyang silently made up his mind.

“Yenian!”

The three Xiahou and Lin Family martial practitioners couldn’t help but scream as their eyes became bloodshot upon seeing his instant death.

Even Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing’s pupils shrank as cold murderous intent filled their faces.

They were growing restless.

At this moment, Luo Chen’s sword abruptly overflowed with a lonely, sharp, and terrifying sword intent.

Many sword beams shot out of the tip of his sword like rays of light flying towards the sky.

With a pair of narrowed eyes and a straight back, Luo Chen was like an unsheathed sword gleaming with incredible sharpness.

“Your opponent is me.”

The dozen or so sword beams that had just flown up into the clouds abruptly shot downwards from the sky once more like a rain of meteors.

Their targets were none other than Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing!

The several dozens sword beams were all filled with a dense, flowing sword intent. The two felt like a sword that vaguely enveloped them.

Thus, Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing’s pressure immediately increased, forcing them to no longer put their attention on Qin Lie. They immediately focused all of their strength on Luo Chen.

At this critical moment, Luo Chen, who had been clashing head to head against Qin Lie and attempting to kill him, actually changed his target and locked onto Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing once more.

“Kill him! He has already severely injured himself!” Xiahou Tai roared angrily.

Like a maddened wild beast, Xiahou Tai swung his Frost Bone Thorn and generated a sky full of white, boney thorns which whistled towards Qin Lie like a rain of arrows.

The other two martial practitioners who were slightly further away from Qin Lie also controlled their respective Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers and unleashed all of their power toward Qin Lie.

Qin Lie, who had pierced his own lung abruptly shook and blasted Lin Yenian off his back.

He pulled out the Rainbow Sound Sword from his chest, spraying blood, which landed on the floor like bright, bloody flowers, everywhere.

“Crack crack!”

The second the Rainbow Sound Sword was pulled out, his wounds were quickly encased in ice as he used the Frost Art to suppress his wounds temporarily.

“AHHHHHHH!”

While roaring angrily, Qin Lie gripped the Astral Thunder Hammer with his right hand and Lin Yenian’s Rainbow Sound Sword with his left hand as he unleashed a terrific and heavy aura from his body.

He flew tens of meter into the air like a human tank and brutally charged head on towards Xiahou Tai.

“Boom!”

The second the Astral Thunder Hammer was swung, it formed several thunderous stars that exploded beside Xiahou Tai.

The explosions were so fierce that Xiahou Tai was frightened.

Xiahou Tai had not missed a single detail when Qin Lie had cruelly and brutally dispatched Lin Yenian. Thus, he now had a deep recognition towards Qin Lie’s madness and brutality.

He was now deeply wary of Qin Lie and felt a hint of fear towards him.

This fear prevented him from unleashing his full strength, and prevented him from steeling himself and fighting against Qin Lie with his life on the line.

“Fight harder!” Xiahou Tai yelled.

The other two martial practitioners, who were on Qin Lie’s left and right, were still a distance away from Qin Lie and unable to arrive instantly.

But their spirit artifacts could!

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The Purple Flame Wheel burning with purple flames and the Seven Bird Tail Feathers that had seemingly transformed into a beautiful peacock charged towards Qin Lie even faster than the two martial practitioners.

Thus, Xiahou Tai’s courage was abruptly bolstered, but in the next moment, fear quickly reappeared in his eyes once more!

Qin Lie actually ignored both the Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers and simply glared at him with his scarlet eyes which were filled with infinite killing intent.

Xiahou Tai felt as if he was being watched by a savage primitive beast.

“Pop pop pop pop!”

The boney white thorns of the Frost Bone Thorns and the Astral Thunder Hammer’s astral thunder exploded against each other.

Thunder and lightning roared in the area where he and Qin Lie were battling as countless sparks scattered towards the surroundings and countless boney white thorns vanished, one after the other.

Qin Lie, who was descending from the sky, looked like he would charge right into Xiahou Tai in the next moment.

It was at this moment that the Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers simultaneously rammed into Qin Lie’s left and right shoulders.

The brown yellow halo on Qin Lie’s figure instantly shattered and turned into many fragments of scattered light.

A portion of the thin ice surrounding his shoulders had also stabbed into his own flesh, tearing both flesh and blood.

“Pfft!”

Qin Lie even had to spit out a mouthful of blood.

His charging figure abruptly wobbled as if he was about to drop out of his mad charge towards Xiahou Tai.

Xiahou Tai looked overjoyed by the sight as he stabbed forward with the Frost Bone Thorn in his hand towards Qin Lie’s forehead again.

“No matter how crazy or brutal you are, you cannot escape death!” Xiahou Tai laughed madly.

“I will have you die ahead of me!” Qin Lie roared savagely.

While wobbling, he fell unsteadily towards Xiahou Tai without the staunch and brutal aura from before. After the Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers had rammed into him, his figure looked as light as a falling leaf, giving off the feeling that a single breeze could blow him away.

However, he still swung the Astral Thunder Hammer in his right hand towards Xiahou Tai.

“Bang!”

Sparks flew everywhere as the Frost Bone Thorn and Astral Thunder Hammer clashed against each other.

Xiahou Tai’s figure shook once under the impact.

However, as he knew very well that Qin Lie had a powerful physique and a great close combat power, Xiahou Tai ignored the shaking of his body and got ready to retreat.

He wanted to wait for the next attacks of the Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers.

Right now, after being rammed by the Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers, Qin Lie’s unsteady, stumbling figure was falling towards Xiahou Tai.

“Clang! Clang!”

When the two came close to each other, Qin Lie swung the Astral Thunder Hammer in his hand continuously against the Frost Bone Thorn, causing many sparks to scatter through the sky.

“Whoosh!”

Qin Lie finally landed on the ground and noticed Xiahou Tai’s intent to retreat from the battle. Abruptly, his expression grew grim with determination.

Right now, he was almost within reach of Xiahou Tai. Sparks flew everywhere between the two as the great waves of energy from their spirit artifacts clashed against one another.

A brutal energy was about to form between the duo and push them away.

This was exactly what Xiahou Tai was hoping for.

He wasn’t good at close quarter combat and his physique was far inferior to Qin Lie. He had no intention of getting too close to Qin Lie!

The second he managed to pull away and start a new round of attacks with the other two people, Qin Lie would be dead for sure!

“You can’t leave!” Qin Lie laughed sinisterly.

“How can you possibly stop me?” Xiahou Tai also laughed madly.

Right now, the spirit energy that was becoming increasingly stronger in between the two continuously pushed them apart.

As long as their spirit artifacts continued to clash against each other and cause greater and greater spirit energy shockwaves, Xiahou Tai believed that Qin Lie could not do anything to him.

However, before Xiahou Tai could react, Qin Lie’s foot abruptly stepped out like lightning just as he was about to be blown away.

He had stepped directly onto Xiahou Tai’s foot.

Qin Lie had stepped fiercely onto Xiahou Tai’s right foot with his left foot!

“Swoosh!”

At the same time, Qin Lie threw out the Rainbow Sound Sword that had snapped in half like lightning.

The broken Rainbow Sound Sword was now like a dagger, and about an arm’s length. It first penetrated through Qin Lie’s foot before nailing his left foot and Xiahou Tai’s right foot together.

This was almost exactly the same tactic he used to kill Lin Yenian!

He first stepped onto Xiahou Tai’s foot with his own so that he would not be able to pull free immediately.

Then, he stabbed his own leg with the broken Rainbow Sound Sword and nailed his and Xiaohou Tai’s feet into the ground!

“AHHH!”

Xiahou Tai immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream.

“Hehe, your physique is so much weaker than mine. I can bleed more and endure more pain, and thus am able to exchange one leg for your life!” Qin Lie laughed madly and savagely, “It is very much worth it!”

Xiahou Tai screamed in terrible pain as they were both blasted by the rampant spirit energy exploding between them.

Qin Lie forcefully endured it all like a rock even as his chest was torn into bloody pieces by the bone thorn.

As for Xiahou Tai, he failed to escape in time and had astral thunder entering his chest, causing the bones in his entire body to explode like fried beans.

Blood poured incessantly out of Xiahou Tai’s mouth. He hadn’t been able to escape at first notice and had endured the full brunt of the thunderous explosion created by Qin Lie’s Astral Thunder Hammer. As a result, he died horribly.

Meanwhile, Qin Lie relied on his powerful physique to forcibly endure the Frost Bone Thorn attacks. But as a result, his chest was badly mangled and he had broken more than just a bone.

But Qin Lie had survived yet again.

Xiahou Tai was the one who had followed Lin Yenian’s footsteps and been forcibly killed.

Di Xiangyang and the six Illusory Demon Sect girls who were hiding in the forest were once again shocked by the series of events.

“The man is literally more brutal than a beast!”

“He is a savage beast wearing human skin!”

“He is a lunatic, an utter and complete lunatic! He is willing to sacrifice anything and even mutilate himself without any hesitation to kill his enemy! He is the most brutal and terrifying kind of opponent to face!”

“Mm. He is only at the early stage of Netherpassage Realm, but he has managed to kill two martial practitioners at the middle stage of Netherpassage Realm in this way!”

“It is simply too brutal!”

“I can’t believe it. Did he actually tell Chu Li not to clash against us earlier? I thought he was just cowardly and afraid of going up against us. I thought he was afraid of our strength and identity. Thank goodness he didn’t fight us earlier. When this guy goes crazy, he’s even scarier than Chu Li!”

When the six Illusory Demon Sect girls recalled what had happened earlier, fearful, yet thankful looks appeared on all of their faces.

—They were thankful that Qin Lie hadn’t minded their accusations earlier.

Chapter 444: Accumulation Pill

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of blood forced its way out of Qin Lie’s mouth once more.

Although their physical bodies were not as tough, and their spirit arts were not as varied and refined as his, Lin Yenian and Xiahou Tai were both still martial practitioners at the middle stage of Netherpassage Realm, which was a full cultivation level above him. As a result, their combat experience and use of strength were not in any way weaker than him.

The reason he was able to kill both of them was purely because of his ruthlessness and his willingness to risk his own life for theirs!

As of now, he had traded heavy injuries for both Lin Yenian and Xiahou Tai’s deaths. His lungs and one of his legs were pierced through by his own hands by using the Rainbow Sound Sword, and his chest had suffered from the Frost Bone Thorn’s terrific blow.

He was completely drenched in blood, as if he was born a blood man. His appearance was miserable and sorry to the max.

It seemed that no extra push was needed before he himself would simply falter and collapse.

But at least for right now, he was still standing there tenaciously.

His foot was still stepping on Xiahou Tai’s foot, and both of their feet were still strung together by a broken Rainbow Sound Sword.

The remaining two martial practitioners who had been attacking him together all this time were in fact not far away from Qin Lie, and were still capable of starting a new wave of attacks.

However, for some reason or another, the duo had surprisingly become frozen where they stood, and did not attempt kill Qin Lie while he was heavily injured.

This was because the duo were terrified by Qin Lie’s methods!

They were both deeply frightened by both Qin Lie’s brutality and valiantness. They couldn’t shake off the feeling that they would turn into miserable corpses just like Lin Yenian and Xiahou Tai if they attacked him immediately.

That was why they had hesitated.

“Kill him! Kill him!” Xiahou Yuan’s roar resounded at an appropriate time.

When the two hesitating martial practitioners had heard his roar, they immediately woke up from their dilemma.

The duo matched eyes and steeled themselves once more.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Bird Tail Feathers simultaneously roared once more as they began unleashing a terrific amount of spirit energy.

The Purple Flame Wheel spun madly in midair like a burning disc. A terrific flame that could extinguish the very soul was unleashed by the Purple Flame Wheel, purple, bright-colored and bizarre flames which blossomed on the on the disc like many blossoming, purple demonic flowers.

Meanwhile, the Seven Birds Tail Feathers transformed into a rainbow peacock about a dozen or so meters long. Its entire body sparkled with the colors of the rainbow, and when it flapped its wings, it released a cold and harsh wind.

Neither martial practitioners dared to go too close to Qin Lie. They both only dared to remotely control their spirit artifacts from afar with their True Souls as they tried to minimise the danger to their own lives while they attempted to kill Qin Lie.

Qin Lie grabbed the broken Rainbow Sound Sword as he channeled wisps of frost energy through it to his hurting leg, swiftly decreasing the pain.

It was a lot harder for him to move agilely due to this leg injury.

So he gave up on trying at all and just sat down on the spot.

He secretly summoned the Blood Spirit Art, ready to expose its existence at this critical moment to catch the remaining two off guard and kill them with it.

He was ready to throw everything away.

“Zhao Xuan! Zhang Chendong! What are you waiting for?”

At this moment, Luo Chen, who was equally bathed in blood and setting off a gigantic sword storm suddenly yelled harshly.

After they were poisoned by the voodoo poison, attacked together by Xiahou Family and Lin Family, and scattered by Qin Lie’s Terminator Profound Bombs, Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong had finally returned after staying away from the battlefield for a long while.

The moment they appeared and heard Luo Chen’s yell, they subconsciously charged over to help Luo Chen deal with Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing.

“Get out of the way!” Luo Chen yelled with a frigid expression as he formed many sword rainbows amidst the giant sword storm, “I do not need your help! Kill the rest of the Xiahou and Lin Family clansmen!”

The gigantic sword storm was like a tornado that could destroy any hard objects in the world as it travelled on the ground.

The earth, the rocks, the wood and even the air itself were crushed to bits by the ball-shaped sword storm.

Right now, Luo Chen’s eyes were looking at the remaining two Xiahou and Lin Family martial practitioners.

He was staring right at the martial practitioners who were remote controlling the Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers to kill Qin Lie.

“This…”

Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong froze.

They both saw the doubt in each other’s eyes.

Since Sea Moon Island, the moment Luo Chen learned of Qin Lie’s existence, he had been directing his animosity at Qin Lie at every corner.

When Qin Lie was ready to leave Sea Moon Island by using the spatial teleportation formation, it was he who stepped out and stopped Qin Lie’s footsteps, forcing Qin Lie to surrender the blank tombstone.

Even then, he wasn’t ready to let things end there, and had even promised Blue Star Association’s president that he would kill Qin Lie in the Graveyard of the Gods.

Zhao Xuan did not know what kind of hatred existed between Luo Chen and Qin Lie, but they knew that Luo Chen was extremely disgusted by Qin Lie and had every intention of killing the man.

But right now, Luo Chen’s instruction was clearly and aid to Qin Lie. This caused them to be both confused and puzzled, to the point where they even thought that they had understood Luo Chen’s meaning wrongly.

That was why they froze and did not act immediately, wanting to further confirm Luo Chen’s intention once more.

It was at this moment Luo Chen said yet again, “I must kill that person with my own hands!”

He had his own pride!

It was a pride neither Zhao Xuan nor Zhang Chendong could understand!

In his entire life, Li Mu was the only one who humiliated, looked down and even ignored him.

Li Mu said that he wasn’t qualified to become his disciple, but Qin Lie was the person Li Mu acknowledged as half his disciple.

Therefore, he had to kill Qin Lie with his hands and decapitate him with his own sword. Only then he would be able to prove Li Mu wrong and continue to protect his own pride!

That was why Qin Lie must live!

Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong did not understand Luo Chen’s pride but they did understand his words. Therefore, they no longer hesitated and charged towards the remaining two Xiahou and Lin Family martial practitioners.

The duo who was going to kill Qin Lie while he was heavily injured lost their best chance to do so due to Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong’s interference.

After killing Lin Yenian and Xiahou Tai in a row, thanks to Luo Chen siphoning the pressure from Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing, thanks to Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong’s interference, Qin Lie actually had some free time to himself now.

No one had the leisure to deal with him.

Miraculously, he had a moment’s leisure to enjoy while many sides were battling each other intensely in this chaotic area.

Not daring to waste even a single moment, he hastily took out the spirit stones and recovered in secret while he was still seated at the same spot. At the same time, he opened his eyes and examined his surroundings closely in case a new change was to occur. He used the Blood Spirit Art to heal his injuries and suppress the pain of his wounds, stabilizing them so that they would not worsen further.

It was at this moment a white jade porcelain bottle wrapped in orange flames suddenly flew out of a thick bush, looking to land on top of his head.

Qin Lie’s expression changed like he had encountered a mortal enemy, and got himself ready to act at any moment.

“This is the Profound Grade Six Accumulation Pill. It helps heals the physical body’s wounds and is extremely beneficial to the user’s heart and lungs. This pill isn’t too precious but it is very suitable for the injuries you’re suffering from right now.” A lazy voice rang from the bush. It was none other than Du Xiangyang.

There’s someone there!” The Illusory Demon Sect girls hurriedly looked in Du Xiangyang’s direction the moment they heard him speak.

Worldly spirit energy did not exist inside the Graveyard of the Gods. This caused the hearing of a martial practitioner’s True Soul to become greatly weakened.

Du Xiangyang and the Illusory Demon Sect girls were hiding at different places, and they were a little far apart from each other. That was why they had not realized each other’s existences.

It was only until Du Xiangyang had spoken up on his own and appeared that Xue Moyan and the others realized that someone was even there earlier than they were.

“You don’t seem like a kind person.” Qin Lie’s expression was dark as he stared at the fire wrapped bottle landing slowly and stably in front of him.

The fire automatically flew away after putting down the white porcelain bottle, not hanging around for even a second longer.

“This is a show of good will.” Du Xiangyang smiled, “Back at the Land of Fire, it was I who acted too rudely and provoked a madman like you. However, I have avoided you since, and I was the one who told you that your friend was poisoned by the voodoo poison. I know that you are in a hurry to take revenge from Ye Yihao, and that you must have managed to find your friend through the information I give you. Now that I think about it, you actually owe me one…”

Qin Lie snorted.

“The Accumulation Pill is right in front of you. It is up to you whether to use it. I am here only as a bystander. It’s not as if I or a friend of mine got inflicted with the voodoo poison so all this has nothing to do with me.” Du Xiangyang said leisurely.

Qin Lie thought with a darkened face before picking up the white porcelain bottle in front of him. After pulling its stopper and sniffing it once, he swallowed all five Accumulation Pills inside the bottle and said indifferently, “From this point onwards, the grudges between you and I are completely settled.”

Du Xiangyang let out a bitter laughter and said casually, “As long as you don’t look for me with trouble in mind in the future. Let’s just say that I’m scared of you.”

Qin Lie narrowed his eyes and did not answer him. Instead, he used his heart and sensed the medicinal powers of the Accumulation Pills.

The second the five Accumulation Pills had entered his stomach, he immediately forced them to spread out with his powers. Five wisps of gentle and nurturing medicinal energy were pulled towards his heart, lungs, and leg like five streams of warmth.

The pain of the these two injuries immediately lessened quite a bit.

This caused his eyes to lit up. He realized that Du Xiangyang’s gift really was incredibly effective to his injuries.

Therefore, he split out a wisp of consciousness and guided the medicinal energies of the Accumulation Pills to heal his two wounds.

However, his eyes were still focused onto Chu Li and Ye Yihao. He secretly paid attention to the three Fire Qilin blood essences, not daring to relax for even a second.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

Chu Li was like a star that flashed non-stop amidst the galaxy as he dodged the Black Voodoo Cult and Su Family’s martial practitioners attacks. He was so swift that it was almost impossible to catch his figure with one’s eyes.

Two out of the six martial practitioners who surrounded Chu Li had already died horribly under his retaliations. They were both Su Family martial practitioners.

Chu Li’s spirit armor looked like it was woven from many stars. It was dazzling, magical, and filled with a grandiose and beautiful aura of the stars.

From time to time, his body would shake and stars would abruptly shot out of his body.

Like a porcupine’s needles, the stars would shoot everywhere with terrific force behind them.

The explosive power of the stars caused his attackers to be bitter beyond words. It forced them to cease their attacks and surrender their greatest defenses to block the attack.

Chu Li did not seem to have fallen into a disadvantageous position despite fighting six martial practitioners on his own and killing two of them already.

If Ye Yihao and Su Yan wasn’t here, then Qin Lie would even think highly of his position and believe that he would quickly secure victory.

Unfortunately, Ye Yihao still hadn’t acted and simply watched from the sidelines coolly all this time.

It was as if everything was proceeding according to his plans.

Chapter 445: Soul Control

Ye Yihao was calm and collected.

Su Yan was gritting her teeth. Half of her beautiful face was covered in blood, greatly damaging her beauty.

If Ye Yihao hadn’t stopped her with a smile, she would’ve charged towards Chu Li and destroyed him.

Right now, Qin Lie had earned a brief moment as he used the Accumulation Pills to heal himself and observed Chu Li’s battle with narrowed eyes.

Accumulation Pills were not exceptionally rare but they had an incredible healing effect on his wounds’ stability and recovery.

He began to channel the Blood Spirit Art in secret.

“Eh?” He couldn’t help but exclaim softly in his heart.

To his surprise, he discovered that while he was utilizing the Blood Spirit Art and summoning the power of blood, the blood spirit energy in his blood vessels actually converged onto the two wounds on their own.

Traces and wisps of refined blood energy quickly converged where his body was injured.

The blood spirit energy and the medicinal energy of the Accumulation Pills were mingled in one another as they began to heal his wounds through an extraordinary method.

When he used his mind to probe his wounds, he even felt that his pierced lung and foot were recovering little by little!

He subconsciously lowered his head to look.

After the frost energy around his chest had dissipated, he discovered that his wound was slowly forming a scab.

The same was happening to his legs as well.

The formation of the scab meant that his wounds were healing and stabilizing swiftly.

This caused him no small measure of surprise.

“Accumulation Pills shouldn’t be this powerful. It was after all just a profound grade pill. There’s no way it can achieve such a powerful healing effect.” Qin Lie thought in silence before his eyes suddenly lit up, “The Blood Spirit Art! The refined blood can swiftly recover a physical body’s wounds. Although my lifeblood essences aren’t around, the effects still happened when the energy in my blood flowed to the wounds! Blood energy is also a kind of life energy, and it is capable of healing the heavy injuries of one’s corporeal body!”

He suddenly understood.

He thought of the way to form one’s lifeblood essences recorded in the half volume of the Blood Codex. He recalled one of the many miraculous uses of the lifeblood essences—the healing of the heavy injuries of one’s mortal body!

Therefore, he began operating the Blood Spirit Art with even greater concentration than before, using the energy contained inside his blood to nurture his wound and increase the rate of recovery.

His wounds swiftly stabilized.

“Sister Xue, what do we do now?”

On the other side, a Illusory Demon Sect girl subconsciously looked towards Xue Moyan and asked softly.

Xue Moyan looked through the bushes at the faraway battle with clear eyes. She said with a soft voice and calm expression, “Let’s wait some more.”

She was not in a hurry. She knew that it was imperative to be calm the more critical the situation was.

“Don’t worry, Qianqian. I have two voodoo insects in my hands. We have the ability to bargain with Ye Yihao.” Xue Moyan said.

“Mm. I believe that Sister Xue will save my life.” Pan Qianqian said obediently.

“Big Brother Ye, why do you not let me act? Why… aren’t you getting anxious?” Su Yan looked towards Ye Yihao.

Ye Yihao’s eyes were indifferent. From the beginning to the end, he had just been standing there and giving off a feeling of enigma. She did not know how she should cooperate with him, “More and more people would notice the activity going on around here and come to us. When more people came and found out that you are poisoning the people with the voodoo poison, I’m afraid that they will…”

“Attack me en masse?” Ye Yihao smiled coldly.

“That is the obvious outcome.” Su Yan said worriedly.

“In fact, the reason I haven’t acted all this time is to wait for these people to come!” Ye Yihao said with a dark and cruel grin, “Moreover, you don’t know that there are already quite a lot of people who are hiding around us.”

His cold, dark eyes couldn’t help but gaze towards where the Illusory Demon Sect girls were hiding. It was as if he had seen through their hiding spot already.

“Ah?” Su Yan cried out in surprise.

She grew even more confused as to what Ye Yihao was trying to do.

“There is no need for you to bother with Chu Li. Go there first.” He pointed a finger at Qin Lie and Luo Chen before instructing indifferently, “Take care of those troubles first. You are not needed here; someone else will handle him. Chu Li… is dead for sure!”

“This…” Su Yan was both shocked and confused.

Ye Yihao did not explain anything.

He suddenly sat down on the ground.

Under Su Yan’s confused gaze, Ye Yihao tore away the clothes before his heart and revealed the half translucent chest.

Su Yan looked deeply at the spot.

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen was encircled around Ye Yihao’s heart at the half translucent chest area. Its body thumped along with his heartbeat, expanding and contracting rapidly. Its many legs were sunk deep into Ye Yihao’s blood vessels and nerves like sharp blades, seemingly connected to his entire body.

It was at that moment the Eight-winged Centipede Queen abruptly howled and pierced through Ye Yihao’s half translucent chest and bore out under Su Yan’s shocked gaze.

While howling harshly, it abruptly floated above Ye Yihao’s head and stayed suspended above his hair.

Many invisible soul threads flew out of Ye Yihao’s temples and become connected with the Eight-winged Centipede Queen’s hundreds of feet.

An eerie aura of connecting souls were unleashed from his and the mother insect’s body, causing people to feel anxious and worried.

“Zzz zzz zzz!”

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen suspended above his head suddenly howled towards the sky. The half wings that were as black as the reaper’s blade flapped continuously.

“Ouch!”

“Ah!”

“Something’s invading my mind!”

“……”

For a time, every person that was in hiding began to hug their heads and scream. Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong were also included in that group.

Their eyes instantly became distant, and this bewilderment did not last for long before their eyes suddenly shone with an inhuman, cold and dark light.

They felt as dead as corpses.

“Qianqian!” Xue Moyan’s shocked cries rang at the same time.

The pure and intellectual gleam in Pan Qianqian’s eyes were completely gone. Poisoned by the voodoo poison, what replaced that light was a cold and merciless expression that struck fear into people’s heart.

Ignoring Xue Moyan’s obstruction, Pan Qianqian abruptly ran out of the bushes and headed towards Ye Yihao like lightning.

While Xue Moyan was crying aloud, five other figures had also run out from the surrounding large forest.

Those people were dressed in the clothing of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and Heavenly Artifact Sect. Their eyes were covered in black tendrils, and their expression were cold and merciless.

They were all poisoned by the voodoo poison!

Even Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong had their minds robbed away by the harsh cry and began charging towards Ye Yihao’s direction.

Pan Xuanxuan, Zhao Xuan and eight other figures quickly arrived at Ye Yihao’s location before attacking Chu Li without the slightest hesitation.

“Have your Su family members depart the battle.” Ye Yihao chuckled strangely while instructing.

The obvious light of shock shone from Su Yan’s eyes.

In just ten short seconds, Ye Yihao had suddenly joined the fray and turned the entire situation on its head.

Ye Yihao actually could control the martial practitioners who were poisoned by the voodoo poison directly through the Eight-winged Centipede Queen!

As Pan Qianqian and another six people charged out, people began to emerge one after another from the forests that weren’t flattened by the explosions yet. The people in hiding were exposed all at once!

Since there was no worldly spirit energy in this place, every martial practitioner’s senses had been limited greatly. No one could notice the surrounding lives and souls around them.

Du Xiangyang and Illusory Demon Sect’s Xue Moyan were not too far apart form each other, but before Du Xiangyang had opened his mouth, Xue Moyan did not kow that Du Xiangyang was hiding there either.

However, even if the others couldn’t, Ye Yihao could.

Through the Eight-winged Centipede Queen, through the voodoo poison’s aura, he could sense more clearly the people hiding around him.

He was stronger than everyone in this place based on this point alone. He could also retailor his plans to fit the arrival of the poisoned.

“Chu Li! One of the eight people who are attacking you madly now hails from Illusory Demon Sect, and another two from Heavenly Sword Mountain. The remaining five comes from Heavenly Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. Heh, they have all been poisoned by the voodoo poison, so let’s see if you’re going to kill them or not!” Ye Yihao laughed madly, “While they would do everything in their power to kill you, the second you kill them the onlookers from Illusory Demon Sect, Heavenly Sword Mountain, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and Heavenly Artifact Sect would never help you and team up against you! Hahaha! Let’s see how you choose this!”

He then looked at Su Yan once more, “Now, are you still worried that we would be teamed up against? Let me tell you this. Anyone who is poisoned by the voodoo poison who dares show up within five kilometers of me would immediately have their True Souls and mind controlled by me through the mother insect. I can kill them immediately if I want to!”

Su Yan was incredibly shocked.

She finally understood why Ye Yihao hadn’t acted all this time.

This was because Ye Yihao did not need to do so at all. He wasn’t afraid about being teamed up against in the least.

On the contrary, he waited on his leisure for more people to come because he knew that some of these people would be poisoned by the voodoo poison.

These people would become Ye Yihao’s blades. Not only would he be able to borrow their hands to kill Chu Li, he could control the infected’s companions through them.

For example, Xue Moyan was one of them.

“Just stand there and watch. If you dare attack me, I can guarantee you that your poisoned companion will commit suicide in three seconds.” Ye Yihao stared at Xue Moyan who had revealed herself in the distance and laughed cheerfully.

A few Heavenly Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain martial practitioners were included in Ye Yihao’s warning as well, “If you do not wish your companion to die a horrible death then just stand there and watch! Haha, either they kill Chu Li, or Chu Li kills them! Heh, if Chu Li did kill them, what will you all do, I wonder?”

Xue Moyan and the other martial practitioners who were not poisoned wore dark and ugly expressions on their faces.

The reason they brought their poisoned companions was to cure them.

Judging from this, it was likely that they shared a good relationship with each other. The reason they rushed over was because they did not wish to see their companions die bit by bit.

Xue Moyan especially viewed all of her sisters with great importance. She treated Pan Qianqian as her sister, and she absolutely would not allow Pan Qianqian to die just like that.

She absolutely could not accept Chu Li killing Pan Qianqian either.

In this case, the groups of martial practitioners who had gathered over from all directions because of the rampant energy exposing Ye Yihao’s position in this place were unable to form a threat against Ye Yihao at all because of their controlled companions.

On the other hand, Ye Yihao could cause Chu Li to hesitate through the infected.

If Chu Li fought carefully and was unwilling to kill his attackers, then he might very well be killed by the infected after Ye Yihao had expended much of his strength through sheer numbers.

If he threw aside all caution and destroyed all of the infected around him, then Xue Moyan and the others would absolutely not ignore this act. At least half their hatred would be transferred to Chu Li instead.

In that case, not only would Chu Li not be able to obtain their assistance, he would have made some new enemies instead. He was one hundred percent going to die in this place.

The second Ye Yihao acted after observing from the sidelines all this time, he had managed to control the entire situation. This caused everyone to lean heavily onto the defensive and become fearful of acting carelessly.

……

Chapter 446: Paranoia

“They truly are from Black Voodoo Cult, trapping everyone with their belly full of evil schemes.”

Du Xiangyang scolded once and walked out from his hiding spot. Step by step, he shifted toward Qin Lie’s position with a relaxed expression.

He was alone, and he was not infected by the voodoo poison. His companions were safe as well.

Among the crowd, he was the only one who could ignore Ye Yihao’s threat completely.

This was because he had no weaknesses in Ye Yihao’s hand.

After Pan Qianqian had left their hiding spot, Xue Moyan and the four Illusory Demon Sect girls knew that they had been exposed and that there was no need to hide any longer. They walked out into the open one by one.

They walked towards Ye Yihao.

“You have two voodoo insects in my hands.” Xue Moyan tried to keep her tone calm as much as possible, “My objective here is very simple. Give me a drop of your mother insect’s blood, and I’ll return you two live voodoo insects.”

She did not plan to play around with Ye Yihao any longer. She immediately showed him her bargaining chips and forced Ye Yihao to submit.

“I want Qianqian to be safe, or I will kill these two voodoo insects.” She took out the Illusory Demon Orb.

Inside the orb filled with many unpredictable illusions, two small sealed voodoo insects could be vaguely seen inside it. While raising the orb towards Ye Yihao, she said, “I know that the creation of the voodoo insect is not cheap. Every voodoo insect’s nurturement requires a portion of the mother insect’s blood and your own soul to raise them slowly. A drop of mother insect blood for your two voodoo insects should be a very worthwhile trade. What do you think?”

Ye Yihao’s dark eyes stared deeply at the Illusory Demon Orb and the two voodoo insects trapped inside it.

After a moment of pondering, he frowned and said, “If Chu Li is killed beforehand, and if your companion is still alive, then I can trade the voodoo insect with you. Just wait, wait until their battle has come to an end. In the meantime, you have better stand at the sidelines and do nothing.”

“You aren’t afraid that I will kill your two voodoo insects?” Xue Moyan’s face turned cold.

The voodoo insect is very important to me, but I believe that your companion is more important to you as compared to the voodoo insects to me, am I correct?” Ye Yihao smiled coldly, “If the two voodoo insects die, I only need to spend some time and effort to have the mother insect breed more of them. At best, I will exhaust some blood and soul energy. However, the moment your companion is dead, I doubt you can revive her, can you?”

Xue Moyan suddenly fell silent.

Terrible murderous intent and chilliness shone from her clear, cold eyes. A while later, she said, “Let my companion go, and give me a drop of blood. I will put down the voodoo insects and leave immediately.”

Ye Yihao chuckled and shook his head.

Xue Moyan sucked in a deep breath and stared at Pan Qianqian from afar. Gritting her teeth on the inside, she suddenly warned Chu Li, “If you kill Qianqian, I will not let you go!”

Her words meant that she had compromised.

Therefore, Ye Yihao let out a mad laughter.

“Go over there. Kill Luo Chen and Chu Li’s companion!” he instructed Su Yan.

“Alright!” Su Yan completely lost her worries.

This was because she believed that Ye Yihao had taken control of the situation.

Therefore, she obediently headed towards Luo Chen and Qin Lie.

Qin Lie, who was recovering from his injuries with the Blood Spirit Art suddenly grew cautious when he saw Su Yan coming towards his directions.

The two Xiahou and Lin Family martial practitioners who were entangled by Zhao Xuan and Zhang Chendong had begun controlling the Purple Flame Wheel and Seven Birds Tail Feathers and gotten ready to attack him once more.

Su Yan’s eyes looked at him from afar, looking like she would start her slaughter with his life first.

This forced him to stop recovering for the moment and get prepared for battle.

“I will buy you fifteen minutes’ time.” Suddenly, Du Xiangyang’s voice rang from behind him.

Du Xiangyang actually stood still in front of him and stared lazily at Su Yan and the other two Xiahou and Lin Family martial practitioners, “You guys will have to get through me first.”

Qin Lie suddenly froze.

With a frown, he said in a low tone, “Our grudge has been written off already.”

“I just want you to owe me a favor! What, you don’t allow that?” Du Xiangyang turned his head and let out a bright smile, “I want you, Qin Lie to owe me once!”

While he was speaking, Su Yan floated over and said, “Du Xiangyang, this has nothing to do with you. Do you really plan to interfere?”

“This had nothing to do with me.” Du Xiangyang smiled at Su Yan and the Xiahou and Lin Family martial practitioners. However, his expression abruptly darkened as he yelled, “But Qin Lie had come here holding the sword token of our Heavenly Sword Mountain! Luo Chen, Zhao Xuan, and Zhang Chendong are also holding our Heavenly Sword Mountain’s sword token! There are also a few Heavenly Sword Mountain martial practitioners who had died horribly under the voodoo poison’s toxin!”

Su Yan looked startled.

She had researched Du Xiangyang before and knew that Du Xiangyang and Luo Chen did not mesh well with each other. Before the examination, he had even lost to Luo Chen, and participated in the examination as a loner.

She did not understand why Du Xiangyang would jump out at this critical moment and say something like this.

She couldn’t understand.

“It is because they belong to Heavenly Sword Mountain, and I am a Heavenly Sword Mountain martial practitioner as well!” For once, Du Xiangyang had grown serious, “They cannot tolerate my existence, and view me as a thorn in their side. But they are still Heavenly Sword Mountain martial practitioners! If you want to kill them in front of my eyes, then I forbid it! They represent the honor of Heavenly Sword Mountain, and I forbid anyone from humiliating Heavenly Sword Mountain’s honor!”

The moment he said this, blazing fire abruptly gushed madly from Du Xiangyang’s body.

The blazing flames had transformed into a fiery and colorful phoenix. While carrying a sky full of fire, it flew towards Su Yan and the other two martial practitioners with unmatchable grace and beauty.

At the same time, Du Xiangyang also swung his sword while his entire body was enveloped in flames.

The sky full of flames gushed towards Su Yan and enveloped them entirely.

Qin Lie suddenly froze.

A dispirited Luo Chen was attacked by both Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dong and suffered a multitude of wounds while drenched in blood.

However, he was also looking at Du Xiangyang with an astonished expression.

He remembered clearly that he had to use every method he had during the competition to choose the core ringer of Heavenly Sword Mountain before he finally defeated Du Xiangyang with force, forcing him to submit the position of Heavenly Sword Mountain’s representative.

He thought that any future encounters between Du Xiangyang and him since then inside the Trial would only end with one of them dead.

In fact, he was even planning to seek out an opportunity to eliminate Du Xiangyang so as to prevent him from causing problems for him if he survived the examination.

He never thought that Du Xiangyang would help him to resist against the enemy.

He never dreamed that the one he thought to be his biggest rival in Heavenly Sword Mountain would come out at a critical moment and fight the enemy in a do-or-die battle.

He realized that he never understood Du Xiangyang.

However, Qin Lie did, if only a little.

When he first saw him, this Du Xiangyang had suddenly attacked him with the reason, “if you’re going to die in someone else’s hands anyway and humiliate Heavenly Sword Mountain’s name, then I might as well take you out myself.” He had attempted to kill him from the moment he saw him.

However, after Du Xiangyang fought him and confirmed his strength, his attitude had suddenly experienced a great change.

After that, whenever Du Xiangyang ran into him once more, not only did he not provoke him on purpose, he would even get out of his way and not enter a deadlock with him.

Even the news that Song Tingyu was infected by the voodoo poison was informed by Du Xiangyang to him. That was how he managed to find Song Tingyu.

Otherwise, Song Tingyu would probably have died a long time ago.

Qin Lie finally understood. This Du Xiangyang was a true Heavenly Sword Mountain martial practitioner! He was someone who would be proud of Heavenly Sword Mountain’s honor, and be shamed by Heavenly Sword Mountain’s humiliation!

The reason Du Xiangyang wanted to kill him at the beginning was simply because he thought that his realm was weak and would be easily eliminated by any martial practitioners of the other eight forces. He thought that Qin Lie would shame them and cause humiliation for Heavenly Sword Mountain, which was why Du Xiangyang had acted to kill him without hesitation for Heavenly Sword Mountain’s honor.

This time, Su Yan and the others wanted to kill him, and Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing had almost ground Luo Chen to death. He had jumped out once more with the excuse that he wanted Qin Lie to owe him a favor.

It was still for Heavenly Sword Mountain’s honor!

Du Xiangyang prided himself as a Heavenly Sword Mountain martial practitioner. He could not allow anyone to humiliate Heavenly Sword Mountain, and he and Luo Chen who wielded the Heavenly Sword Mountain sword token represented Heavenly Sword Mountain itself.

Therefore, Du Xiangyang had stood up resolutely despite the many oppositions.

This was because he wanted to protect Heavenly Sword Mountain’s honor!

Qin Lie suddenly felt a trace of respect for Du Xiangyang. This was a slightly paranoid, slightly obsessed, and slightly unreasonable fellow.

This person hailed from Heavenly Sword Mountain.

The reason Heavenly Sword Mountain was able to rise from a nameless power all the way to a silver rank force in less than a thousand years was not due to anyone but paranoid people like Du Xiangyang!

It was people like Du Xiangyang who had supported Heavenly Sword Mountain!

“Alright! I admit this. I, Qin Lie, owe you Du Xiangyang a great favor!” Qin Lie suddenly yelled, “If in the future, Du Xiangyang requests me to return this favor, then I shall definitely return it!”

“Hahaha! As long as you remember!” Du Xiangyang laughed out loud with a cheerful expression.

Qin Lie no longer said anything else and instead sucked in a deep breath and sat down once more.

He no longer paid attention to Luo Chen in danger, Du Xiangyang who had barged into the battle, Chu Li attacked by the eight infected martial practitioners or Xue Moyan…

He only looked at Ye Yihao.

He knew better than anyone that the only breakthrough in this complete deadlock lay on Ye Yihao!

If he wished to breakthrough this conundrum, then he could only focus on Ye Yihao and cause the Eight-winged Centipede Queen to lose control of the infected people!

Otherwise, every present martial practitioner and newcomer who could aid him in fighting Ye Yihao could only watch at the sidelines and do nothing. Some of them might even switch their target to Chu Li because the infected people were killed by Chu Li.

He had clearly recognized this situation.

While narrowing his eyes, he summoned the three lifeblood essences, the three scarlet blood with his mind. They had sneakily landed in the gray sand beside Ye Yihao due to his remote control earlier.

The three blood of the Fire Qilin lay very close to Ye Yihao!

Previously, Ye Yihao neither allow the Eight-winged Centipede Queen to fly out, nor built a connection with the mother insect. He had been extremely cautious to the point where Qin Lie was unable to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

But now, Ye Yihao had ordered the Eight-winged Centipede Queen to float above his head, and with his True Soul built a connection with the mother insect to control the eight people infected by the voodoo poison. Naturally, he would not be able to protect himself.

It was also why he had ordered the Black Voodoo Cult martial practitioners who were fighting Chu Li earlier back to his side.

This was to prevent anyone else from suddenly attacking him.

In reality, when Ye Yihao was building a connection with the mother insect, he had purposely put some distance between him and the battle.

Right now, not only was he extremely far away from Chu Li, he was also very far away from Xue Moyan.

Naturally, Qin Lie was even further away from him since Chu Li, Xue Moyan and the others lay between him and Ye Yihao.

There were no one else besides Ye Yihao except a few Black Voodoo Cult martial practitioners.

He could never imagine that Qin Lie, who was the furthest away from him had been plotting against him since the beginning of the battle; since the moment the Terminator Profound Bombs had caused a giant smokescreen of dust.

There was no one beside Ye Yihao.

But there were three blood droplets of the Fire Qilin lying in wait at the gray sand beside him.

Chapter 447: Breakthrough

Right now, Chu Li’s body was rammed repeatedly by the spirit artifacts due to the fearless attacks of the eight infected practitioners.

Chu Li wobbled in midair while garbed in starlight. His expression was twisted into a sinister snarl, desperately trying to hold himself back.

He was holding back from killing the eight people outright.

He knew very well that this was Ye Yihao’s devious scheme. The second he fell for it, not only would Xue Moyan and the other onlookers not help him, they would even turn on him.

Staring at Chu Li from afar, Qin Lie knew his predicament and that he would absolutely not go down quietly at the end.

He would kill all eight people to protect his own life.

From Chu Li’s expression, Qin Lie knew that that moment was approaching closer and closer.

He understood that Chu Li would not be able to hold himself back much longer.

Beside him, Du Xiangyang was defending himself against Su Yan and the two martial practitioners’ attacks. While wielding a burning sword and commanding a fiery phoenix conjured from his fire spirit art, he did not manage to gain too great of an advantage from the three opponents.

Not far away, Luo Chen had long since been bloodied all over and looked to collapse at any moment under both Xiahou Yuan and Lin Dongxing’s attacks.

Every other person who could threaten Ye Yihao were either wary of the consequences and thus did not dare to act recklessly, or in great danger themselves.

No one could afford a hand to kill Ye Yihao. They were either afraid to do so, or could not.

The situation was still in Ye Yihao’s hands. He continued to observe the general situation coolly with a calm expression.

“Sister Xue…” an Illusory Demon Sect girl exclaimed softly with a look of worry.

The other four Illusory Demon Sect girls were equally wrought with worry. They were all looking anxiously at Pan Qianqian and did not know what to do.

“We wait. We wait and hope that an opportunity would present itself. Otherwise, otherwise we can only hope that Qianqian and the others can kill Chu Li.” Xue Moyan sighed in her heart. There were no better plans, so she had no choice but to wait and observe for an opportunity.

She did not dare to act recklessly.

If she dared to raise a hand against Ye Yihao, Pan Qianqian would die a horrible death instantly. This was absolutely not the results she was hoping for.

But she also knew that Chu Li was absolutely not the negotiable type of person. When he was ultimately forced to a dead end, he would definitely act to kill to protect his own life.

There was a huge likelihood that Pan Qianqian was going to be killed by Chu Li.

When that happened, even if she knew that it wasn’t Chu Li’s fault, there was no way she wouldn’t feel a grudge towards Chu Li.

This would cause her to be unable to work seamlessly with Chu Li.

The other few Heavenly Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain martial practitioners at the side were watching the battle with a cold eye just like her. They too had friends and brothers who were attacking Chu Li, which was why they did not dare to act recklessly.

They had the same idea as Xue Moyan.

They were hoping for a turning point that enabled them the opportunity to overturn this disadvantaged situation in one go.

They were all waiting quietly with hope in their hearts.

Suddenly, three scarlet blood that looked like bloodstones transformed into three beams of light and appeared from in front, behind and Ye Yihao’s left side instantly.

They were so fast that it almost escaped a person’s eyes!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The three bloody beams of light transformed almost instantly into three balls of Fire Qilin. They burned hotly with flames that reached the sky.

They charged straight at the Eight-winged Centipede Queen above Ye Yihao’s head.

Beside Ye Yihao, the Black Voodoo Cult martial practitioners who had been guarding him closely all this time failed to react in time at all.

While they were all screaming, the three Fire Qilin flames had wrapped themselves around Ye Yihao and the Eight-winged Centipede Queen abruptly and burned them intensely.

“AHHHH!”

Ye Yihao’s expression changed for the first time as he howled at the sky. Dazzling dark green rings appeared around him and protected his body tightly.

However, there was only one Fire Qilin blood that was actually aimed at him.

The objective of the other two burning Fire Qilin flames was the Eight-winged Centipede Queen. While he was busy protecting himself, the two burning flames had already wrapped around the Eight-winged Centipede Queen and scorching it with wild and tremendous flames.

“Shriiiii!”

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen let out a shrill whistle that was like a sharp weapon that pierced fiercely into the people’s eardrums.

Everyone’s heads hurt so much that it was like it would break. Pan Qianqian, Zhao Xuan, Zhang Chendong and the others began bleeding dark blood from their eyes, nose, ears and their mouth in this instant, painting the infected group in an extremely scary light.

Surprisingly, although the eight people were bleeding from all seven apertures, their mad attacks on Chu Li had also stopped all at once.

The dark and merciless light in their eyes swiftly faded away, and a perplexed look appeared on all of their faces. They actually seemed like they’re regaining their rationality.

Because the Eight-winged Centipede Queen was being burned by the Fire Qilins, it wasn’t able to focus its mind and combine its power with Ye Yihao’s to continue control the infected people.

The eight people whose minds and souls who were controlled abruptly returned to normal as if a shackle had been released.

“Qianqian! Qianqian looked like she woke up!’

“Qianqian regained her reason!”

“This is great!”

“Third brother! Third brother, have you awakened?” On the other side, a Ten Thousand Beast Mountain martial practitioner was also yelling.

The light of bewilderment in a Ten Thousand Beast Mountain martial practitioner who was also infected by the voodoo poison faded. It was obvious that he had awakened, “I’m fine now.”

The eight infected people instantly awakened and let out looks of lingering fears.

Everyone’s eyes were focused onto Ye Yihao at this moment. They all watched Ye Yihao being burned by the three Qilin flames.

Chu Li aside, no one knew what happened, or where did these three Qilin flames come from.

However, they all wore joyful looks on their faces and felt grateful at the three Fire Qilin flames and the person who unleashed it from the bottom of their hearts.

“Everyone who is infected by the voodoo poison, get out of this place! Now! With your fastest speed! Do not stay behind for even a second!” Qin Lie, who was very far away from Ye Yihao suddenly exploded into a yell, “I may not necessarily be able to refine the mother insect, and I do not know how much longer I am able to hold out! So faster!”

The moment he said this, everyone who was looking at Ye Yihao abruptly turned their eyes own Qin Lie.

Some of them even suspected if Qin Lie really was the person who unleashed the three Fire Qilin flames.

This was because Qin Lie was neither emanating with a terrific flame energy, nor a cultivator of a fire spirit art, so how could he possibly control the three blazing flames?

Many people’s eyes then turned towards Du Xiangyang in passing. This was because Du Xiangyang was surrounded in fire, and the blade in his hand was also drawing fiery lines while it cut across the air.

They thought that Du Xiangyang was the key person who had changed the situation.

“Qianqian! Leave this place!”

“Third brother! Run quickly!”

“Fifth brother! Escape now!”

“Zhao Xuan, Zhang Chendong, run at your top speed!”

They might hold doubts but they weren’t stupid. They knew what kind of decision to make was the most sensible in this situation.

Therefore, they had all raised their voices and warned the infected.

Meanwhile, with Pan Qianqian and Zhao Xuan among the first to awaken, the rest of the eight infected practitioners woke up in succession and quickly figured out the situation around them.

They were all decisive and sensible people. They knew what kind of disaster they would face if they continued to stay.

Therefore, they all escaped the place with their fastest speed.

They turned into eight beams of light that escaped towards eight different direction. While howling and screaming; like electric and escape art, they all escaped the place at top speed.

“Du Xiangyang! It must be Du Xiangyang! Su Yan! Xiahou Yuan! Lin Dongxing! Kill Du Xiangyang first!” Ye Yihao howled madly from within the three Fire Qilin flames.

He too believed that the person who unleashed the Fire Qilin flames were right among these people, and the only person who cultivated and achieved great attainment in the fire spirit art was Du Xiangyang!

Meanwhile, he viewed the yelling Qin Lie as merely a bait for Du Xiangyang. He was there only to cover from Du Xiangyang.

His roar solidified everyone’s doubts into certainty.

—Qin Lie was covering for Du Xiangyang!

Because of this, everyone was now looking at Du Xiangyang with grateful eyes.

They all assumed that Du Xiangyang was the only who overturned the tides.

In their eyes, Qin Lie was merely a leaf that added to Du Xiangyang’s greatness.

“Protect Du Xiangyang!” a person in Heavenly Artifact Sect yelled.

“Defend Du Xiangyang!” the people of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain were also screaming.

Four figures zoomed out like lightning and threw the spirit artifacts in their hands from afar. Amidst dazzling spirit lights, the spirit artifacts were all aimed at Su Yan.

They had all assumed that Du Xiangyang was the key and became spirited thus staked their lives to protect him.

Xiahou Yuan, Lin Dongxing and Su Yan also thought that Du Xiangyang was the key to everything, and thus they charged madly at Du Xiangyang in attempt to kill him immediately. They aimed to affect him so much that he could no longer control the Fire Qilin flames. They aimed to allow Ye Yihao regain control of the situation and force the infected people to return.

“I…” Du Xiangyang opened his mouth and tried to explain.

However, Xiahou Yuan, Lin Dongxing and Su Yan’s attacks had flooded over him entirely by this point, forcing all the words in his mouth back down his throat.

Qin Lie also became dumbfounded at the situation.

He watched Xiahou Yuan, Lin Dongxing and Su Yan suddenly went crazy and unleashed their strongest techniques at Du Xiangyang, surrounding him in a circle.

Meanwhile, Du Xiangyang felt like crying.

He knew that he was unjustly attacked on Qin Lie’s behalf, but unfortunately for him he did not even have the time to explain himself.
