Spirit Realm Chapter 448-451

For a time, Du Xiangyang had become Ye Yihao, Su Yan and the others must kill target, whereas no one was bothering with Qin lie.

They did not think of Qin Lie as a threat.

In reality, even Xue Moyan, Luo Chen, the martial practitioners of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and Heavenly Artifact Sect also thought that it was Du Xiangyang who broke Ye Yihao and the Eight-winged Centipede Queen’s control over the infected people.

Chu Li was the only person among them who knew that Qin Lie was the one who did it during this critical juncture!

“Xue Moyan! What else are you waiting for? Help me kill Ye Yihao!” Chu Li yelled.

A glittering banner abruptly flew out of his spatial ring, and it unfolded to reveal a full sky of dazzling starlight.

A mysterious and grand star energy abruptly rippled from the banner, and as if it had transformed into a dazzling river of stars that would penetrate both heaven and earth, it abruptly fell on Ye Yihao’s head.

Illusory Demon Sect’s Xue Moyan abruptly reacted and cried out, “Help me deal with Black Voodoo Cult’s Yu Family!”

She herself grabbed the Illusory Demon Orb and ran towards Ye Yihao while dragging many dreamlike illusory shadows behind her back.

She had seen through the situation.

No matter who it might be, the targets to kill after the three Qilin flames had destroyed the control Ye Yihao and the Eight-winged Centipede Queen had over the infected were still Ye Yihao and the mother insect.

Illusory Demon Sect and Black Voodoo Cult had always clashed against each other like fire and water on the Heavenly Slaughter Continent. The two voodoo insects she currently sealed killed Little Die and Little Wan, so even if she acquired the mother insect’s blood, she would still go back to Ye Yihao later to take revenge.

Now that there was such an excellent opportunity in front of her, she obviously knew what she should do.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The three Fire Qilin flames continued to wrap around Ye Yihao and the Eight-winged Centipede Queen, burning them intensely.

The winged voodoo insect howled shrilly within the flames. Its howl shook until everyone felt that their scalps were numb and that their souls were about to crumble.

Dark green haloes rippled from Ye Yihao’s body as he defended his body with the energy light shield and resisted against the flame’s fiery refinement with everything he got. He was also baring his teeth in a sinister look.

“Kill Du Xiangyang now!” Ye Yihao yelled angrily.

Su Yan, Lin Dongxing, Xiahou Yuan, and two other martial practitioners attacked Du Xiangyang continuously as they threw spirit artifacts at him and fired spirit lights splashed from their bodies.

“Bang!”

Su Yan wielded a feather fan forged from gold iron and inscribed with an exquisite running dragon totem. As her spirit energy gathered, the pitch black young dragon actually leaped out of the fan while howling.

It bit ferociously at Du Xiangyang’s chest.

Lin Dongxing pointed a finger and conjured an arm long golden axe shining with sharp, golden light. This weapon also sliced towards Du Xiangyang’s direction.

Meanwhile, Xiahou Yuan was howling angrily while channeling his spirit art. He caused tornadoes to appear around Du Xiangyang and blocked both Du Xiangyang’s sight and senses.

“Whoosh!”

The fiery phoenix Du Xiangyang conjured with his power of flames abruptly shattered, and amidst torrential flames his body was suddenly thrown into the air.

Bang! He landed beside Qin Lie.

Blood flowed down the corner of Du Xiangyang’s mouth, and his face was completely flushed red. His eyes were filled with bitterness.

“Protect Du Xiangyang!”

It was at this moment the martial practitioners of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and Heavenly Artifact Sect, and Luo Chen finally arrived.

They immediately joined the battle and blocked the core ringers of the three great families, stopping them from attempting to kill Du Xiangyang once more.

“It’s not me. I really didn’t conjure those Qilin flames…” Du Xiangyang explained with a bitter smile.

“I know it’s not you.” Qin Lie was feeling helpless as well.

He didn’t think that he would attract the crowd’s attention for only an instant when he yelled out that he was the one who unleashed the Fire Qilin flames just now.

After that, everyone assumed that Du Xiangyang, the practitioner who was at the late stage of Netherpassage Realm and cultivated the fire spirit art was the true culprit.

In their eyes, he was simply covering for Du Xiangyang.

“I seriously took a bullet for you.” A stomach of gloominess filled Du Xiangyang.

Qin Lie didn’t answer him anymore, instead focusing on Ye Yihao and connecting with his three lifeblood essences through his mind.

The three lifeblood essences transformed into Fire Qilins and burned intensely while wrapped around Ye Yihao and the mother insect. They were stopping Ye Yihao and the mother insect from regaining control of the situation in this instant.

Right now, Chu Li and Xue Moyan flew out and was attacking Ye Yihao in unison.

Chu Li’s banner floated in midair and continuously formed stars and rivers of light to blast him from every angle.

Xue Moyan conjured hundreds of illusory shadows and surrounded Ye Yihao. Her force was equally impressive.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Illusory Demon Sect girls held back the Black Voodoo Cult’s Yu Family clansmen so they could not assist Ye Yihao.

“Get out!”

Ye Yihao pressed a hand on his heart while his other hand suddenly took out a wilted wooden staff from his spatial ring.

The wilted wooden staff was faint gold in color and had natural wooden patterns in it, and it contained a certain wisdom and magic of the world.

The moment the wilted wooden staff was taken out, the dark green ring on Ye Yihao’s body abruptly expanded rapidly.

He swung the staff at Chu Li.

“Zzzt zzt zzzt!”

Countless vines and dark green light beams that were like tree branches shot right at the starry light screen on the sky, piercing Chu Li’s banner until it was completely torn up.

“My Sky Wood Staff is an Earth Grade Four spirit artifact. Your Nebula Banner is only an Earth Grade Three spirit artifact! Moreover, you’ve exhausted yourself far too much during the previous combat and could not unleash its full power at all. How are you going to beat me?” Ye Yihao grinned and laughed madly.

While laughing, he stabbed the Sky Wood Staff fiercely into the ground before him yet again.

A tremendous amount of wood energy surged through the Sky Wood Staff and rippled outward, spreading towards the surroundings within a radius of a few kilometers

“Whoosh!”

Many ancient trees actually started swaying on their own without a backwind. It was as if they were responding to the Sky Wood Staff in Ye Yihao’s hand.

Surprisingly, many vines and sharp shrubberies abruptly appeared from the feet of the illusions of Xue Moyan that were flying in the sky.

The illusions were attacked by the wood energy as they exploded swiftly.

There was only one person who charged within ten meters of Ye Yihao while holding the Illusory Demon Orb.

This was her true body.

Ye Yihao was well versed in wood spirit arts. That was why he had chosen this lush forest to set up his trap. Here, he was like a fish in water, capable of borrowing the land advantage and enhancing his own combat power at a critical moment.

“The ancient trees are moving! They’re coming towards us!” the girls of the Illusory Demon Sect suddenly cried out.

They noticed that the land that was once flattened by the Terminator Profound Bombs had become filled with life once more.

The many big trees far, far away from this land was actually moving strangely towards their direction through gliding roots after Ye Yihao had stabbed the Sky Wood Staff into the ground. They were swiftly approaching Ye Yihao’s position.

“Not good!” A Ten Thousand Beast Mountain martial practitioner couldn’t help but cry out, “This guy cultivates the wood spirit art, and at this place his strength becomes stronger than usual. He can even use his spirit artifact to control these ancient trees. What a headache!”

“This doesn’t change anything.” Xue Moyan suddenly said softly.

The Illusory Demon Orb in her hand abruptly shone with countless beautiful light. A violent magnetic field abruptly spread out from inside the orb.

Ye Yihao abruptly looked loss for a moment. He stared at Xue Moyan and looked like he had gone stupid for a moment.

It was as if Xue Moyan had transformed into the person he was closest with and most respected.

He was obviously taken in by Illusory Demon Sect’s illusion arts!

“Chu Li!” Xue Moyan yelled in a low tone.

A Frost Steel Blade glittering with starlight appeared in Chu Li’s hand, and he instantly slashed it on the Eight-winged Centipede Queen’s body.

“Clang!”

Sparks flew as the Eight-winged Centipede Queen screeched in pain. Its violent eyes were filled with irritation.

It had obviously been severely damaged by Chu Li.

“How is it not dead yet?!” After a shocked pause, Chu Li got ready to slice downward yet again.

It was at this moment Ye Yihao suddenly woke up and said sinisterly, “You’re digging your own grave!”

Several dozen of dark green wooden arrows formed from spirit energy instantly pierced Chu Li’s chest like sharp blades.

“Pfft!”

Chu Li’s chest immediately became bloodied as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Universal Celestial Sealing Formation!” Qin Lie yelled in a heavy tone.

Six sky obelisks glittering with refined light whistled to the sky from Qin Lie’s position and enveloped Ye Yihao abruptly with a world shackling aura.

Qin Lie’s eyes stared firmly at Ye Yihao. With his soul consciousness, he controlled the spirit pattern pillars and built the great shackling formation.

He only needed to seal Ye Yihao for an instant so that he wouldn’t be able to afford the time to attack Chu Li.

……

The six spirit pattern pillars released rivers of starlight, twisting long rivers, and flying spirit birds before falling down on Ye Yihao’s head.

“Universal Celestial Sealing Formation!” Qin Lie exclaimed in a low tone from afar.

A shackling power that could bind the heaven and earth, imprison one’s soul, and even stop the channeling of spirit energy abruptly appeared in the space amongst the six spirit pattern pillars.

Ye Yihao was right within them!

Just as Ye Yihao was raising the Sky Wood Staff and was about to ram it into Chu Li’s chest, his body abruptly stopped.

Every one of his actions suddenly became impossibly slow, difficult and exhausting.

Chu Li spat out a mouth of blood before flying out of the center of the six spirit pattern pillars.

Meanwhile, Xue Moyan had dove head first into the formation, and her actions also became sluggish the second she entered the Universal Celestial Sealing Formation’s area. She felt as if her soul was being imprisoned, and the circulation of her spirit energy had become indistinct. Even her limbs felt like they were being bound by ropes, greatly hindering her movement.

“Qin Lie!”

The second Chu Li exited the formation and raised his head, he immediately saw Qin Lie charging rapidly towards him. He could not help but cry out.

“Suppress!” Qin Lie yelled heavily.

Strange rings of light rippled from the six spirit pattern pillars like the ripples on a lake, both gorgeous and dazzling.

The ripples seemed to have formed into a new round of shackles that applied themselves layer after layer on Ye Yihao’s body. They also landed on Xue Moyan, who had barged into the formation.

Inside the Universal Celestial Sealing Formation, the duo felt like they were sunk deep inside mud. Their movements were restricted, their spirit energies were affected, and even the perception of their soul had fallen off greatly.

Chu Li immediately reacted to the scene. It was Qin Lie who had suppressed Ye Yihao with the spirit pattern pillars at a critical moment!

On the other side, Du Xiangyang was also staring with bright eyes and a surprised expression at the six spirit pattern pillars.

“Isn’t that one of the eighteen great Earth Grade spirit artifacts of our Heavenly Artifact Sect, the Sealing Obelisks?”

“There are a total of twelve sealing obelisks in total. Why are there only six? That being said, their appearance and power do indicate that they are indeed the sealing obelisks!”

“The sealing obelisks have been lost for many years. Why are they in this person’s hands?”

“Who knows.”

While the few Heavenly Artifact Sect martial practitioners were aiding Du Xiangyang by intercepting Su Yan and the others, they suddenly saw the six spirit pattern pillars ascend. They were all shocked by the sight.

The twelve spirit pattern pillars had originated from Heavenly Artifact Sect. They were one of the eighteen great Earth grade spirit artifacts of Heavenly Artifact Sect.

Every disciple in Heavenly Artifact Sect was extremely familiar with these Earth Grade spirit artifacts. They knew about their traits and rough appearances.

Now that they saw the sudden appearance of the six spirit pattern pillars, and the spirit formations familiar to Heavenly Artifact Sect such as the Radiant Galaxy Diagram, the Nine Winding River Diagram and so on, they abruptly came to a realization.

These six spirit pattern pillars were the lost sealing obelisks of Heavenly Artifact Sect. They were one of the eighteen great Earth Grade spirit artifacts of Heavenly Artifact Sect!

“Do you really think you can seal me?” Ye Yihao howled angrily.

The natural patterns on the Sky Wood Staff in his hand wriggled unnaturally like many tiny fear-inducing snakes.

The Sky Wood Staff was stabbed into the ground in an instant once more.

As if attracted by the strange energy inside the Sky Wood Staff, fifteen ancient trees nearby that were at least several dozens meters tall moved swiftly underground and actually pierced right through the defense line formed by the spirit pattern pillars, forcing their way into the formation.

The many lush ancient trees immediately rooted themselves around Ye Yihao and suddenly unleashed a severe aura from their leaves and branches.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

As if turned into many sharp wooden swords, the tree branches were scattered towards every direction.

At the same time, an immense wood energy abruptly erupted from inside Ye Yihao.

“Boom!”

The seal formed by the six spirit pattern pillars was instantly shredded in an instant. The six spirit pattern pillars were blasted by the shockwaves into the air, unable to shackle Ye Yihao any more.

As the ancient trees closed in, even the Fire Qilin flame on Ye Yihao’s body was unable to hurt him again.

“Bzz bzz bzz!”

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen continued to whistle sharply. Its whistle was capable of tearing apart one’s eardrums and causing massive headaches to anyone who heard it.

Tendrils of green refined energy flew out of Ye Yihao’s hair and entered the mother insect’s body, aiding it in swift recovery.

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen swiftly became spirited once more. A thin green film even appeared on its pitch black surface and formed a defensive barrier.

Seemingly knowing that they had lost their best chance to refine the Eight-winged Centipede Queen to death, the three life blood essences automatically flew into the air.

The three blazing fire Fire Qilin blood transformed into three rays of light and whistled towards Qin Lie.

Then, they entered Qin Lie’s body.

Everyone was caught off guard.

“It actually wasn’t Du Xiangyang!”

“It really was him!”

“How strange!”

It was only now that the crowd realised that they all had been mistaken. It was only then that they learned that the person who had burned Ye Yihao and the Eight-winged Centipede Queen with the three Fire Qilin flames, causing him to lose control of the infected people at a critical moment was actually Qin Lie.

This greatly exceeded their expectations.

“So it was you! My larvae were refined to death by your flames, weren’t they?” Ye Yihao finally understood the situation.

“So what if they were?” Qin Lie frowned and withdrew the six spirit pattern pillars one by one. He sighed on the inside.

It was the same problem. He was lacking in cultivation, and thus could not control more spirit pattern pillars than six. If he could control all twelve spirit pattern pillars and form the strongest “Universal Celestial Sealing Formation,” he believed that Ye Yihao would definitely not be able to struggle his way out.

After all, even Xue Li was suppressed by the twelve spirit pattern pillars. How could Ye Yihao possibly escape?

Unfortunately, due to his weak realm and strength, he could only control six spirit pattern pillars. That was why Ye Yihao had managed to escape.

“You must die!” Ye Yihao exclaimed harshly.

“Crack! Crack!”

Wooden armor began to grow on his skin as if his body was made of wood. At first glance, it was as if Ye Yihao had turned into an impossibly strange wooden man.

However, an extremely terrifying aura was unleashed from his body at the same time.

The aura caused everyone’s expression in the area to change!

“The spirit art that Ye Yihao cultivates is bizarre, and he is able to use these trees’ life force to boost himself for a short period of time!” Chu Li yelled.

“Everyone be careful!” Xue Moyan also screamed.

On the other side, Luo Chen and the others’ expressions changed. They could all sense the powerful wood aura that had sprung up within the area. Some of these aura obviously contained Ye Yihao’s soul will.

This caused everyone to become worried!

“Qin Lie! Come and burn these ancient trees with me!”

Du Xiangyang led the assault and shot an ancient tree while drawing a long flame tongue with his sword.

At the same time, the spirit energy inside his body sprung up as many clumps of flames flew out of every part of his body, forming a gorgeous fiery phoenix.

“He can temporarily sap strength from these ancient trees! If we burn them, he will have no external power to borrow from!” Chu Li also reminded.

“Okay!” Qin Lie exclaimed softly.

The three refined Fire Qilin blood droplets shot out out his body and turned into three fire beams, shooting towards an ancient tree each.

The ancient trees that were coming in from the sides were flooded by huge flames in succession as Qin Lie and Du Xiangyang burned them.

Chu Li, Xue Moyan and the far away Luo Chen actually charged all at once into the huge flames. Amidst the sea of fire, they unleashed their powerful spirit arts and terrifying spirit artifacts, madly attacking Ye Yihao all at once.

Qin Lie, who had released the three refined Fire Qilin blood droplets, wasn’t idle either. He also threw out his Astral Thunder Hammer and imbued the weapon with all the thunder energy inside his body. With his mind consciousness, he controlled the Astral Thunder Hammer and tossed it at Ye Yihao.

Surrounded by the burning ancient trees, Ye Yihao howled harshly and angrily as dark green beams flew all around his body.

Countless wooden swords, branches, and blocks scattered towards every direction from where he was. They were all incredible powerful.

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen was also whistling sharply and flying out from the top of his head. It charged towards Xue Moyan and the others to kill them while its entire body was enveloped in thick, black smoke.

“Don’t allow the voodoo insect to get close! It has the voodoo poison all over it!” Xue Moyan reminded.

“Use your spirit artifacts to attack the voodoo insect! We will deal with Ye Yihao!” Luo Chen yelled in surprise.

At that time, Du Xiangyang had already charged head first into the burning combat zone. He too was howling in a strange note and catching Ye Yihao in a pincer.

Meanwhile, Qin Lie, who had been injured severely earlier did not choose to charge in recklessly. While watching the smoke-filled area, listening to the crowd’s shrill cries and the spirit artifacts’ mad banging noises, he cautiously maintained a connection with the three refined Fire Qilin blood essences.

He focused all of his concentration on burning the shifting ancient trees with those lifeblood essences.

……

Chapter 450: Out Of The Way! Allow Me!

Attracted by the Sky Wood Staff, the ancient trees coming from every direction were all burned by Qin Lie and Du Xiangyang’s flames.

Ye Yihao was absorbing the ancient tree’s refined wood energy to empower himself and increase his combat power.

When the ancient trees had all been burned, when he no longer had any refined wood energy to borrow, he obviously wouldn’t be able to unleash strength beyond his usual limits.

“Starfall!”

Chu Li’s angry roar pierced through the sea of flames as many dazzling stars appeared out of nowhere and abruptly fell down.

Immense energy brimmed from the stars, causing the burning flames to suddenly become suppressed.

“Half Moon Slash!” Luo Chen was also yelling coldly at the side.

A glittering silver sword arc the shape of a half moon fell down from the sky like a crescent moon. It was sharp and deadly, landing straight toward the sea of fire.

“Mind Capture!”

While holding Illusory Demon Sect’s Illusory Demon Orb and channeling her magical spirit art, Xue Moyan’s eyes lit up and seemed to knock right into Ye Yihao’s heart.

Du Xiangyang was also hooting and pointing the flames gushing out of his body at Ye Yihao.

All of the strong attacked Ye Yihao at once, unleashing their distinguished spirit arts, extraordinary spirit artifacts, and techniques in attempt to kill Ye Yihao on the spot.

Qin Lie stood outside the sea of flames and controlled the three refined Fire Qilin blood droplets to burn the ancient trees while probing carefully the activity inside the flames.

Through the thick smoke, he could see many rays of colorful spirit light that clashed against one another like radiant meteors, spraying extremely beautiful and dazzling sparks everywhere.

He could hear Ye Yihao’s severe shouts and the shrill whistles of the Eight-winged Centipede Queen. From their howls, he knew that Ye Yihao had probably suffered a terrible blow and was dealing badly with the group beating.

He realized that he probably did not need to do anything more now that the situation had reached this point.

On the other side, the martial practitioners of Heavenly Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain dragged down Su Yan, Lin Dongxong, and the others so that they were too busy to help Ye Yihao.

The Illusory Demon Sect girls Xue Moyan had brought over were also preventing Black Voodoo Cult’s Yu Family members from assisting Ye Yihao.

No matter how one looked at it, Ye Yihao was most likely going to die at that place after being attacked by so many people.

This caused Qin Lie to relax just a little.

While surrounded by fire, Ye Yihao also looked shocked and fearful for his life now that he was being attacked by Chu Li, Luo Chen, and Xue Moyan—three martial practitioners at the same level as him—and Du Xiangyang.

He formed a dark green shield of light with the Sky Wood Staff in his hand, and an emerald, leaf-shaped light appeared on the barrier covered in green, wooden patterns.

Originally, he could absorb the energy from the ancient trees around him through the Sky Wood Staff to greatly enhance the light shield’s defensive power and protect himself from all angles.

However, after Qin Lie and Du Xiangyang had burned the ancient trees with intense flames, he could no longer borrow any refined wood energy from them.

Therefore, he was no longer certain of his victory.

But just as the entire barrage of skills were about to land on him, an extraordinarily powerful life energy suddenly appeared at a corner of this lush forest. At the same time, an immense wood life energy gushed beneath his feet like a spring!

It poured straight into the Sky Wood Staff!

In an instant, Ye Yihao’s energy increased by almost three times, and the Sky Wood Staff in his hands also unleashed a terrific and dazzling green light.

“Boom boom boom!”

The falling stars, the crescent sword beam, Xue Moyan’s soul strike and Du Xiangyang’s burning sun were all blocked by the light shield.

Meanwhile, the hand Ye Yihao used to hold the Sky Wood Staff had only become bloodied from the shockwave inside the light shield.

The green shield actually did not shatter under the combined attack, and although Ye Yihao was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were still bright.

On the contrary, blood droplets actually appeared all over the slightly distant Eight-winged Centipede Queen that looked spirited just moments ago. It began spasming repeatedly in midair.

“Wound transfer!”

“He transferred a portion of the wounds he had suffered onto the voodoo insect. This guy is ruthless!”

“God dammit, did he seriously survive that?”

Everyone cried out at the same time.

An unusual soul aura entered Ye Yihao’s mind straight from beneath his feet.

A voice was calling to him from a forest corner, telling him to come over as quickly as possible.

Ye Yihao was greatly shocked by the voice. Then, he wiped the blood of his mouth and let out two laughs with a nasty grin, saying coldly, “You will all die. I guarantee that every one of you will die!”

After he said this, the Sky Wood Staff in his hand suddenly turned into a lush, little tree.

This dark green little tree wrapped around Ye Yihao instantly and dove into the ground. He had vanished in an instant.

At the same time, the Eight-winged Centipede Queen unleashed the pitch black voodoo poison around its body and looked like it would escape while flapping its wings and whistling strangely.

“Ye Yihao escaped! Try and kill the voodoo insect if possible, and even if we can’t, we must get as much of its blood as possible!” Xue Moyan yelled.

Everyone reacted and targeted the Eight-winged Centipede Queen in an instant. Lin Dongxing, Su Yan, Xiahou Yuan and some Black Voodoo Cult disciples all reacted at nearly the same time and escaped towards all directions.

However, everyone’s attention was attracted by the Eight-winged Centipede Queen right now. They could not be bothered to stop them at all.

Even Heavenly Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain’s people hastily gathered over and surrounded the voodoo insect from all angles.

If the voodoo insect didn’t die, then their poisoned friends and family would all die a horrible death one after another.

This was something none of them could accept.

Even Qin Lie had grown anxious after realizing that Ye Yihao had somehow managed to miraculously escape. He charged towards the Eight-winged Centipede Queen and did not bother with the wounds on his body.

“Voodoo poison! It has unleashed too much voodoo poison! There’s no way to approach it at all!” The Illusory Demon Sect girls were screaming.

“God dammit! What a thick cloud of voodoo poison. We can’t see anything, just how are we going to attack it!” the Heavenly Artifact Sect martial practitioners were also swearing angrily.

The surrounding area was covered in a dozen or so meters of dense voodoo poison. It was as black and sticky as ink, preventing anyone from seeing anything.

It also kept everyone from getting closer.

They all knew how terrifying the voodoo poison was, and the horrendous appearance of their poisoned friends and family were etched well within their minds. They knew that there was no way for them to cure the poison at all.

Therefore, although everyone wanted to kill the voodoo insect and snatch the blood of the Eight-winged Centipede Queen, no one dared to charge into the area covered in voodoo poison.

This was one of the reasons why a voodoo insect was so scary.

Once this Eight-winged Centipede Queen had unleashed all of the voodoo poison inside its body, the surrounding voodoo poison spread further and thicker over time. While it was escaping towards the distance, the thick voodoo poison surrounded it constantly, causing everyone around the area to retreat like they’d seen a ghost.

No one dared to charge into this land that was covered in voodoo poison.

In this place, the perception of soul consciousness was restricted by the unique environment of this secret realm. This prevented them from attacking the area covered in voodoo poison with spirit artifacts and spirit arts just by feeling alone.

—it would just be a plain waste of spirit energy.

Someone needed to charge in and confirm the voodoo insect’s position. They had to be able to see the voodoo insect to be able to attack it.

Only then would they be able to severely damage or kill the voodoo insect and acquire its blood. Only then would they be able to cure the infected people.

Unfortunately, no one seemed to dare charge into the area covered in voodoo poison. No one dared to risk their life. Therefore, the group looked like they would miss their chance to surround the voodoo insect.

“Get out of the way! Allow me!”

It was at this moment Qin Lie yelled explosively and charged straight into the poison filled area like a bolt of lightning that cut through the sky.

He was the only person who could shatter his soul and refine the voodoo poison even after he was infected.

Out of everyone in the crowd, he was the only one who wasn’t afraid of dying a horrible death after being infected by the voodoo poison.

“What a suicidal maniac!”

“He truly is fearsome and fearless!”

“Qin Lie! It’s all on you now!”

Everyone cried out. Some people were secretly pleased by Qin Lie’s irrationality, whereas some people were secretly grateful for Qin Lie’s initiative.

When he charged into the thick voodoo poison, he immediately sensed tendrils of toxin seeping straight into his soul consciousness and invading his true soul.

He completely ignored them.

He realized that the deeper he went, the thinner the voodoo poison became. When he went to the deepest area, he immediately saw the Eight-winged Centipede Queen.

“Klak klak klak!”

This voodoo insect seemed to have suffered some terrible injuries. Its eight thin wings flapped with great difficulty, and right then it was actually relying on its many legs to escape quickly on the ground.

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen had over a hundred legs. When they all moved at once, they actually propelled the Eight-winged Centipede Queen to move an unbelievable speed.

It was not much slower than when it was flying in the air.

There were many blood droplets on its wings. While it was crawling swiftly, new blood droplets were forming occasionally on them.

Chapter 451: He Did It For A Woman…

The Black Voodoo Cult’s voodoo insects were as tough as steel and difficult to harm physically. The usual fire and water powers were hardly a threat either.

This was also why Black Voodoo Cult had a shady spirit art like ‘Wound Transfer’. A martial practitioner would be able to transfer their heavy injuries to the voodoo insects through the shared flesh and soul connection between the martial practitioner and the voodoo insect.

This way, the martial practitioner that was struck with a terrible blow would be able to minimise the damage they suffered.

Ye Yihao had transferred a large majority of the damage he suffered directly to the mother insect instead. This caused the lively Eight-winged Centipede Queen to become instantly dispirited and listless, unable to flap its wings and even fly to the air.

“Clak clak clak!”

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen’s hundred feet danced across the ground like many sharp blades. They gleamed with confusing spirit light.

The voodoo insect that had escaped Ye Yihao’s body was only half a human male arm’s length and completely black in color. It looked like it was forged from highly perfected iron, and when it flapped its eight wings blood droplets could be seen seeping out of them.

Extraordinarily, the blood droplets did not fall off its wings. Instead, they stuck onto the voodoo insect’s wings as if they had extraordinary viscosity.

“Qin Lie! Do your best to eliminate that voodoo insect. If you really can’t, then do your best to acquire as much of its blood as possible!” Chu Li’s shouts rang through the thick mist of voodoo poison outside.

Qin Lie did not answer. Instead, he watched the voodoo insect closely while holding the Astral Thunder Hammer in his right hand. He immediately channeled Heavenly Thunder Eradication.

Bolts of lightning shot out of the Astral Thunder Hammer. Locking his gaze onto the Eight-winged Centipede Queen, Qin Lie concentrated and chased after the voodoo insect.

“Swoosh!”

His entire being seemed to have transformed into a thick and long bolt of lightning. Seamlessly united with the Astral Thunder Hammer in his hand, he created a violent and invincible aura.

He slammed the Astral Thunder Hammer hard towards the Eight-winged Centipede Queen.

“Bzz zz zzz!”

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen suddenly sensed the danger behind it and let out an ear bursting howl while flapping its eight wings.

The howl was as sharp as iron needles piercing into everyone’s minds and innards nearby. It caused everyone to abruptly shudder and feel pain coursing all over their bodies.

Qin Lie was closest to it, and thus bore the full brunt. Instantly, he felt a kind of fear that was as if his heart was pierced by ten thousand arrows. Even his consciousness had blurred instantly.

“Boom!”

Along with his hammer, Qin Lie crashed heavily from midair and completely lost all sense of direction.

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen abruptly came to a stop and turned around. Its little dark green eyes shone with a cold and ruthless gleam. This voodoo insect had high level intelligence, and it could think and have its own opinions just like a human.

When it turned around, it stared coldly at Qin Lie and experienced an instantaneous moment of hesitation.

It was hesitating whether it should take the opportunity to kill Qin Lie.

It immediately noticed the black tendrils of the voodoo poison in both of Qin Lie’s eyes. It knew immediately that Qin Lie was infected with the voodoo poison, and thus thought that Qin Lie’s death was inevitable.

Those who were poisoned by the voodoo poison would walk step by step towards death while clearly feeling the loss of their own soul and life energy.

That lost energy would then be consumed by both it and Ye Yihao, helping them both recover swiftly…

It did not think that it needed to kill Qin Lie immediately. It thought that allowing Qin Lie to die a slow death would be more beneficial to both it and Ye Yihao.

Therefore, it decided that it no longer needed to waste time on Qin Lie.

And so, after it hesitated for just a moment, it then moved its hundred feet and ran far away again once more.

It had obviously misjudged Qin Lie’s persistence and tenacity!

Just as it ran for about three hundred meters, Qin Lie regained consciousness and noticed that he was now at the edge of the area covered in voodoo poison the second he opened his eyes.

He did not look towards the voodoo insect immediately, and instead watched Chu Li, Xue Moyan, Du Xiangyang and the others chasing closely from behind. These people did not dare to go too close to the voodoo poison in fear that their souls would be penetrated by the voodoo poison. Therefore, they could only chase from the back.

“Qin Lie! How is it?” Chu Li yelled.

“Where is the Eight-winged Centipede Queen?” Du Xiangyang asked.

“You’ve gotten inflicted with voodoo poison!” Xue Moyan covered her mouth and exclaimed softly.

Qin Lie finally recovered, and did not answer any of them. Instead, he charged head first into the black area covered in voodoo poison once more while howling angrily.

“He had obviously been inflicted with the voodoo poison. If he can’t kill the mother insect and acquire its blood, then he will die slowly just like all other infected. He will see his life slip through his fingers.” An Illusory Demon Sect girl said in a low voice.

“This person is truly a mad man.” Another person interrupted.

“When he was fighting the two martial practitioners, he had pierced his lungs without hesitation to kill the enemy. From this alone you can see just how crazy he was.”

“From the moment he charged into the area covered in voodoo poison, we all knew that he would definitely be inflicted with the voodoo poison. What’s so strange about that?” Du Xiangyang countered.

The group suddenly turned silent.

That’s right. From the moment Qin Lie took the step no one dared to, they all knew that Qin Lie would definitely be inflicted with the voodoo poison!

In that case, why were they still surprised after he was poisoned by the voodoo poison for real?

Perhaps, they all had the tiniest bit of illusory hope in their hearts that Qin Lie could avoid the effects of the voodoo poison?

“He would be fine!” Chu Li suddenly let out a heavy snort.

The shock in everyone’s eyes grew even brighter.

Heavenly Sect Artifact and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain’s people shook their heads lightly and sighed, “Although he was brave, it was ultimately a stupid and rash action.”

“A person who was inflicted with the voodoo poison, chasing after the mother insect that released that voodoo poison in the first place. This is an absolute dead end.” Another person agreed.

“This is why I didn’t charge in in the first place. It’s not that I do not have the courage to save my cousin, but, but… I just know that I won’t survive it.” Someone voiced an excuse for his own weakness.

“Stop finding excuses for yourself. To put it bluntly, we are all not as courageous as he was.” Xue Moyan’s thin and long eyebrows wrinkled as she spoke softly, “That friend of his who was inflicted with the voodoo poison must be very important to him. They must be so important that… he would even stake very life in attempt to save them.”

“He did it for a woman.” Du Xiangyang suddenly said.

“For a woman…” Xue Moyan was slightly surprised by the revelation before nodding slightly, saying, “That woman is so lucky.”

The eyes of the group of Illusory Demon Sect girls, and the girls from Heavenly Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain all shone with a strange light. They all thought higher of Qin Lie and thought that he was truly a good man.

A woman was most likely to open her heart to a man like this.

Meanwhile, Chu Li stared at Xue Moyan with an odd expression on his face.

In his mind, Xue Moyan was Qin Lie’s fiancée, and right now Qin Lie was staking his life to save Song Tingyu. This made him feel a little weird.

“Gravity Change!”

It was at this moment, Qin Lie’s loud cry rang from inside the area thick with voodoo poison.

Even the people outside could sense that the gravity around them had suddenly grown several times stronger.

“Clak! Clak clak!”

Inside the poison entangled area, The escaping Eight-winged Centipede Queen’s footsteps abruptly slowed due to the abrupt change in gravity.

The powerful gravity field caused its tiny body to suddenly become as heavy as a mountain.

Ye Yihao had transferred a large amount of damage to it in the first place, making it incapable of even flapping its wings and flying away. Now, this change in gravity had brought it a whole new pressure.

While it was caught off guard, Qin Lie crashed down from the sky with his hammer like a cannon ball, dragging with him a skyful of thunder and lightning.

This time, Qin Lie’s body was wrapped in icy light and lightning. He had also protected his ears with spirit energy. This was purposely done to prevent the insect’s howl from invading his body.

“Bzz zzzz!” As expected, mother insect began to howl once more.

However, this time Qin Lie wasn’t shaken off as pathetically as before. He continued to lock onto the voodoo insect’s position and abruptly swung downwards.

“Boom!”

The Astral Thunder Hammer heavily struck the voodoo insect’s pitch black back armor. Countless sparks sputtered as the voodoo insect was sent straight into the underground, being dealt heavy damage once more.

Countless blood droplets seeped out and became attached to its wings. They were ripe with a strange fragrance.

Qin Lie raised his Astral Thunder Hammer and was about to swing down yet again.

“Crack!”

Suddenly, the Eight-winged Centipede Queen’s eight wings separated from its body.

Eight bizarre energies instantly shot out and covered the voodoo insect’s body. The energies were like a vanishing art that instantly caused the voodoo insect to disappear.

Qin Lie was struck dumb while the hammer was still raised in his hand.

Beneath him, there remained the Eight-winged Centipede Queen’s four pairs of wings. The main body of the voodoo insect had obviously escaped already.

This voodoo insect actually knew how to cut off a part of itself to form a secret escape art.

This greatly exceeded Qin Lie’s expectations.
