Chapter 446: Return To The Sea
Ye Xiao, who was currently dashing forward continuously inside the forest, suddenly stopped in his tracks. Seeing that he had already arrived far enough where no one will disturb him from increasing his cultivation of the Fourth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, he decided to stop and face the enemy.
Not far away, Yue Han, who had brought four Nightmare Puppet with her, saw Ye Xiao and sneered. In her eyes, Ye Xiao could be dealt with easily with the help of the four Nightmare Puppets.
With a cruel smile on his face, she waved her hand and said: "Hide."
The four Nightmare Puppets immediately disappeared like ghosts without any signs of life. If they did not appear, even Yue Han would not be able to find out where they were hiding.
She could only rely on the pearl in her hand to feel the positions of the four Nightmare Puppets.
Immediately after, Yue Han stood behind a large tree. A wave of deathly gray light wrapped around her, completely retracting her aura, as if she had disappeared from the world.
She stood there and quietly looked at Ye Xiao who has stopped running and was standing straight without any emotion on his face. She immediately didn"t attack him because she wanted to see what Ye Xiao was about to do?
She wanted to know why Ye Xiao arrived here, in this small forest?
But even after waiting for a while, she didn"t find Ye Xiao moving. He kept standing quietly. Her patience was not enough to wait for an entire day.
The light of the pearl in her hand dimmed and a deathly gray stream of air flowed within it like a fog. She looked at Ye Xiao cruelly and said, "Hehe, unlucky fellow, let me see your blood staining the earth and the light in your eyes fade away."
It was also at this moment when Ye Xiao once again started walking but this time, he was not walking fast, his steps were slow. He frowned as if he discovered something and muttered, "What are those four things? Puppets?"
"Those are Nightmare Puppets!"
It was at this moment when an extremely domineering but evil voice sounded in Ye Xiao"s mind. It was the voice of the World Exterminating Demon Dragon.
The World Exterminating Demon Dragon was resting in the sky above the Nine Story PaG.o.da when it felt dark energy filled with death aura. This dark energy was kind of special because it didn"t originate from a demonic cultivator or demon"s source of power but from a demon"s soul.
The World Exterminating Demon Dragon could tell that this dark energy originated from a Demon Emperor who was about to step his foot on the Ancient Immortal Realm but failed and died.
Because of some unknown reason, his soul was able to survive and the dark energy that it felt came from that soul. This soul of the demon was extremely evil and cruel.
"Nightmare Puppets? What are they?" Ye Xiao asked in confusion. He had never heard the term "Nightmare Puppet", nor did he have any kind of memories related to Nightmare Puppets in the three Ancient G.o.ds" memories.
The World Exterminating Demon Dragon replied, "This is a type of puppet that is specifically used to kill people and obtain something very precious from a live human. They are called Nightmare Puppets for a reason. The reason they were created was to kill people and then plunder their blood essence, vitality, soul force, and all sorts of other useful powers. Only Demon Race has the method to create the Nightmare Puppets."
"These types of puppets can not be destroyed by normal means. If you want to destroy these puppets, you must first kill the original master. Let me give you a hint, that little girl over there is not the original master of these puppets."
Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He once again carefully looked at the land covered by his Divine Sense but he could not find any other person other than the woman that was following him.
"Original Master? Where is he?" Ye Xiao asked.
"That is up to you to search. I"ll not help any further." Saying this, the World Exterminating Demon Dragon cut off the connection between Ye Xiao and itself.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath. He understood everything told by World Exterminating Demon Dragon.
That is to say, if he could not find the original master of the Nightmare Puppets, he will have no way to destroy them. Even if he killed the woman who brought these four puppets with her, he"ll still be chased down by the four Nightmare Puppets continuously until either he destroyed them or they kill him.
Ye Xiao again tried to find out if anyone other than the woman was present but he failed to find.
Of course, he did notice something that attracted his attention.
The woman who brought the four Nightmare Puppets was holding a pearl that was giving off an eerie and death aura. Because of the Divine Sense, he also noticed an extremely thin black line of energy that was invisible to the naked eye was connected to the four nightmare puppets.
It means he might be able to stop the four nightmare puppets if he could destroy the pearl in the woman"s hand.
Ye Xiao pretended to look around at the scenery. With a smile on his face, he slowly hummed a small song and started casually walking in the direction of the woman. At the same time, as Ye Xiao neared the Yue Han, he felt the excitement in Yue Han"s mood. It was as if the prey was about to fall in the trap laid by the hunter.
When he arrived at the place where Yue Han felt that Ye Xiao was within her grip, she immediately waved her hand. A gray light shone from the pearl and the four nightmare puppets rushed out towards Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was also waiting for the puppets to come out from their hiding places. At the moment when the nightmare puppets rushed towards him, he withdrew the Sea Dragon Spear.
With the injection of spirit energy, the Sea Dragon Spear shone with bright blue light. An unspeakable momentum was released from Sea Dragon Spear.
Ye Xiao had already unlocked the Fourth Style of the Sea Dragon Descends, he just has yet to test its power. Now was the great time to test the power of the Fourth Style of Sea Dragon Descends.
It was also the time when four dark figures came straight to Ye Xiao"s neck. They were like the four cold winds seeping out of the nether world, which could make one"s body shudder.
"Sea Dragon Descends: Fourth Style, Return To The Sea!"
When Ye Xiao saw the four nightmare puppets were inches away from his neck, he retreated back ten meters immediately and executed the Fourth Style of the Sea Dragon Descends.
Immediately, the entire forest transformed into an endless sea. The blue sky, which was impossible to see clearly from inside the forest, suddenly became extremely clear.
But in the next moment, it was covered with black clouds rumbling with lightning that was brightening the sky from time time. The crackling sound of thunder was enough to make people"s scalp go numb due to fear.
An indescribable feeling of fear was born in the heart of Yue Han when she saw this scene. She didn"t expect Ye Xiao to transform the entire forest into an endless sea.
Moreover, for some reason, she was feeling extremely unease in her heart. It was as if what just happened in front of her was just the beginning of true chaos.
Well, her feeling was true. All that happened just now was just the beginning.
"Roar!"
A furious dragon"s roar echoed out from behind the black clouds rumbling with silver threads of lightning from time and formed layers after layers of sonic waves that swept across, instantly destroying everything.
The four Nightmare puppets were like four blocks of wood eaten by hundreds of termites from inside, they were immediately shattered into many pieces.
Yue Han"s outcome was not much different either.
Because of the layers after layers of sound waves, her entire body immediately turned into a river of blood. Not a single flesh of her could be seen. There was only blood, but some of her shattered bones could still be seen sinking deep within the ocean.
But still, Ye Xiao"s attack was not over. The main attack had yet to come.
A terrifying aura covered the entire sea. It was as if a very terrifying existence was about to descend but Ye Xiao suddenly cancelled out his attack.
Since there was no opponent left, he didn"t intend to continue attacking. He cancelled out his attack and was immediately backlashed.
He spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood because of cancelling out his attack in the middle. He suffered from internal injuries that were being repaired by the Wood Blossom Bloodline rapidly.
