The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1364 - 1365: Ambushed

"Is this the Giant Wheel?"

Ye Mo felt the aura emanating from the Giant Wheel and was slightly astonished. This Giant Wheel didn’t seem like an ordinary treasure, but rather like an Ancient Giant Whale. Only by riding such a Giant Wheel can one avoid sea monster attacks in the Abyssal Demon Sea Region.

"This Giant Wheel is crafted using the body of a Deep Sea Demon Whale, emitting a powerful aura suitable for navigating any sea region as the best mode of transport."

Wraith Demon Emperor said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo nodded slightly. If he directly flew over the sea, he would certainly be attacked by sea monsters.

"Let’s board!"

Tantai Canglian said, leaping onto the deck of the Giant Wheel, followed by fourteen others landing steadily.

The Giant Wheel sliced through the waves at incredible speed.

With the strong wind blowing against him, Ye Mo’s expression remained unchanged, while Tantai Canglian stood on the deck in her purple-yellow dress, her attire fluttering in the wind, beautifully outlining her graceful figure.

Ye Mo noticed that quite a few Elite Disciples were focused on Tantai Zanglian.

"Ye Mo, stop daydreaming, Senior Sister Zang Lian is ranked third in the Dead Soul Clan’s list of strongest people. Countless people in the clan want to pursue her, and she’s a rare talent from the Tantai Family, becoming a Core Disciple before thirty."

Wu Jing said with a smile.

Dead Soul Clan has numerous small branches, and the Tantai Family is one such branch, akin to Blood Clan and Luosha Evil Ghost Clan, which are part of the Dead Soul Royal Family.

"To have cultivated to Divine Venerable Four Souls before thirty, that’s truly impressive."

Ye Mo marveled, and Tantai Canglian’s strength wasn’t as simple as it appeared. She possessed terrifying abilities to challenge higher levels, with true combat power reaching Divine Venerable Six Souls.

"Haha, you’re not bad either, managing to kill the Earth Flame Spider Mother. How old are you?"

Wu Jing asked.

"What do you think?"

Ye Mo chuckled.

"Probably over a thousand years old?"

Wu Jing joked.

Just as Ye Mo was about to respond, his expression changed, and simultaneously, Tantai Zanglian also sensed something amiss and immediately halted the Giant Wheel.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Loud roars, like beastly howls, scattered the sea mist above, blowing it away. The sea near the Giant Wheel erupted, and figures soared from the sea, the water lifting into the air, turning into raindrops falling down.

"What are these? Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish from the Abyssal Demon Sea Region!"

Wu Jing exclaimed in shock.

These Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish are the dominant species in the sea region, with a physique similar to humans but fish-like bodies, covered in seaweed armor, with thick arms, muscles ready to burst with explosive power.

The head of the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish resembled a ghost face, with purple-brown skin, bared fangs, and bulging eyes glaring at Ye Mo and the others, instilling a sense of fear without battle.

"Ye Mo, be careful. These Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish are the hardest soul beasts to deal with, especially since they can spray a purple-brown toxic gas that infiltrates everything, slowly draining one’s power."

Wraith Demon Emperor promptly warned.

"Everyone, quickly evade, be cautious of their toxic gas!"

Tantai Zanglian shouted, suspended in mid-air, her slender hand spreading open, summoning a pink lotus. The falling petals shot forth like shooting stars, bursting with fiery sparks towards the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish.

Bang!

The Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish slapped the water with their tails, raising hundred-foot-high waves, forming an impenetrable water wall to shield against Tantai Canglian’s attack.

However, they underestimated Tantai Zanglian’s strength; the lotus petals pierced through the water wall, attacking the group of Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish.

Thud!

All the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish opened their mouths wide, spewing massive amounts of purple-brown toxic gas, instantly obscuring everyone’s vision as the gas spread, enveloping the entire Giant Wheel.

Seeing this, Ye Mo waved his mighty sleeve, yet couldn’t disperse the toxic gas.

"What’s happening?"

Ye Mo was startled.

"This gas isn’t ordinary poison but deep demon ghost gas, with high density; even a Divine Venerate One Soul exerting full force might not disperse it."

Wraith Demon Emperor explained.

"Damn it!"

Tantai Zanglian’s face changed, unleashing terrifying power from within to disperse the gas around the Giant Wheel, then waved her hand, creating an oval shield to protect the Giant Wheel, preventing the deep demon ghost gas from penetrating.

However, Tantai Zanglian’s expression wasn’t good either. The shield wasn’t her martial technique but formed through Energy Shaping using Xuan Aura.

"Younger brothers, my shield won’t last long; who among you can confidently go out and kill those Deep Sea Ghost Fish?"

Tantai Zanglian frowned. Her strength could indeed kill those Deep Sea Ghost Fish, but if she acted, her fellow disciples would surely be exposed to the gas.

"This is?"

The thirteen all fell silent, knowing the potency of the toxic gas; even the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish themselves were beyond their defense.

Typically, a small squad is led by a Core Disciple with a dozen Elite Disciples, who are mostly at Divine Venerate Early Stage level.

"These Deep Sea Ghost Fish have the strength of Divine Venerate Three Souls and can unleash Soul Techniques; besides Senior Sister Zang Lian, none of us can manage."

They never anticipated that advancing through the Abyssal Demon Sea Region would encounter such an assault from the Deep Sea Ghost Fish, posing a substantial challenge for any squad.

"Let me try!"

Ye Mo said calmly.

"You?"

Tantai Zanglian was surprised, but at this point, only he seemed capable of killing the Deep Sea Ghost Fish.

"Senior Sister Zang Lian, he’s only at Divine Venerate Two-Soul; going out there is a death wish!"

"Indeed, perhaps a few of us brothers going together might hold a chance."

Several Elite Disciples were skeptical of Ye Mo’s capability.

Ye Mo said little, moved his body, disappearing in an instant, appearing in the sky above the sea, releasing the Solitary Darkness Cloak, which rendered the toxic gas ineffective.

Ah!

As Ye Mo emerged, a chorus of ferocious Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish let out cries, leaping high, wielding tridents, and lunging towards Ye Mo.

"I’ve just ascended to Divine Venerate Two-Soul; now’s the time for you to test my skill!"

Ye Mo shouted, stomping down so fiercely the space beneath shattered instantly. Moving faster than lightning, he appeared among the dozens of Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, launching a mighty punch.
