The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1365 - 1366: Puppet Taoist

The surrounding space, under this punch, emitted cracking sounds, starting to crumple and twist, then directly shattered. The trident in the hands of the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish broke bit by bit with a cracking noise.

Boom!

This punch was as unstoppable as a shooting star descending, breaking through layers of obstructions, directly smashing the head of the Abyssal Ghost Fish, immediately exploding like a watermelon, bursting into pieces.

Ye Mo drew back his cloak and suddenly waved it. A huge silver-white measuring ruler lashed out, sweeping across in all directions. With just one move, it shredded those Abyssal Ghost Fish. Even their spirits, when sensing the attack of the Lone Black Sky Measuring Ruler, were almost blown apart.

Chirp!

Seeing its companions being killed by Ye Mo, one of the stoutest Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish took a deep breath, and those toxins began to retract again, compressing into a huge toxin bomb in front of it, which it then shot violently at Ye Mo.

With the toxins being retracted, everyone’s vision gradually cleared, and when they saw the huge toxin bomb sweeping toward Ye Mo, their pupils shrank. This was the toxin released by all the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish; every wisp of toxin was incredibly dense and heavy. The toxins enveloping the void couldn’t be dispersed even by the full attack of a Divine Venerable One Soul. Imagine how terrifying the power would be when this toxin was compressed into a toxin bomb.

"Damn!"

Dantai Zanglian exclaimed anxiously and immediately rushed toward Ye Mo, but it was too late for her to rescue him.

Ye Mo looked at the compressed toxin bomb, his expression unchanged. He summoned the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death, transforming it into a giant fiery path, burning through space, and hurled it at the toxin bomb.

Boom!

The high-density compressed toxin bomb collided directly with the Immortal Cycle of Life and Death, which continuously sliced through the toxin bomb. The terrifying force surged forward, shattering the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish that released the toxin bomb into countless pieces, causing the seawater to boil and churn.

Boom! Boom!

Finally, the high-density toxin bomb was instantly enveloped in a spiritual flame, completely reduced to nothingness.

Ye Mo stood in the void, releasing a terrifying aura like an invincible War God, utterly intimidating the entire scene.

The remaining Deep Sea Ghost Fish, witnessing this scene, sank their bodies and plunged into the sea, no longer daring to appear.

"Incredible, that move just now could turn all the ghostly presence into ashes. That flame is too powerful."

"Yeah, who on earth is the person Senior Sister Zanglian brought? How does he possess such formidable strength?"

The faces of several elite disciples were filled with shock.

"Something’s not right, these Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish are strange."

At this moment, the Wraith Demon Emperor suddenly voiced his doubt.

"What’s wrong?"

Ye Mo raised an eyebrow.

"These Abyssal Fish People, though weaker, have an innate advantage in wielding powerful martial pursuits of the sea. Under the same level, an Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish can fight against even genius-level martial artists and potentially kill ordinary martial artists. But these Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish didn’t use such techniques; instead, they only used some simple moves."

"Moreover, they failed to reveal their Soul Body after death."

The Wraith Demon Emperor explained.

"Dantai Zanglian, this place is too dangerous to linger. I think we should hurry up and move on."

Ye Mo immediately suggested. No matter what, leaving this sea area was of utmost importance.

However, just as Ye Mo finished speaking, a rumbling sound was heard again from the surface of the sea.

"Heh heh, wanting to leave? It’s not that easy!"

An insidious voice pierced through the air, reaching everyone’s ears.

Dantai Zanglian had just started to activate the Giant Wheel when she found it began to wobble. It seemed that the whole Giant Wheel was lifted by a massive object.

Ye Mo looked down and saw a gigantic sea turtle rising from the sea. Its shell resembled a small island.

"Abyssal Demon Turtle!"

Dantai Zanglian exclaimed in shock, and then a powerful aura erupted from the sea once again.

"Who is it? What a strong aura!"

Ye Mo’s brows furrowed tightly. From the current situation, this seemed not just a simple attack by Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish but rather a plan that had already targeted Dantai Zanglian and the others.

Bam!

In the distance, an explosive sound resounded, and a hundred meters away, a huge water column shot straight up. Seated on top was an elder whose slight finger movements seemed to control something. The giant sea turtle underneath the Giant Wheel suddenly shook, flipping the entire Giant Wheel over.

More than a dozen elite disciples immediately leapt up to stand in the void, gazing at the elder in surprise. The method he just used was obviously a kind of Puppetry Technique.

"You must be Dantai Zanglian, indeed an intriguing beauty, one that even I, the Puppet Taoist, find captivating."

The elder let out a sharp whistle and waved both hands. Immediately, numerous Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish emerged from the water, floating in the air.

"Puppet Taoist?"

Wu Jing’s face turned pale immediately.

This Puppet Taoist was quite renowned even in the Wraith Land. Despite his status as only a Divine Venerable Six Souls, he had cultivated the Puppetry Technique to a highly profound level, capable of extracting the soul of a Divine Venerable Five-Soul Warrior and controlling it.

He often captured disciples from various factions for his own use, even stripping the souls of women he fancied to make them his puppets and fulfill his desires.

Many forces placed bounties for his death, but few dared take up the task, as no one knew how many puppets, including those of Divine Venerable Six Souls, the Puppet Taoist kept by his side. As they were made into puppets, they feared no spiritual attacks.

Even if a fighter of Divine Venerable Seven Souls appeared, they would struggle to deal with the Puppet Taoist since no one knew how many puppets he possessed.

"It seems the earlier encounter was to probe our strength,"

Ye Mo regarded the Puppet Taoist with a serious expression. When he activated the Eye of the Divine Beast, he discovered that among the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, there were even Divine Venerable Six Souls, entities equating to leaders, also controlled by the Puppet Taoist.

"Who sent you? Xiang Qiu or Wang Wei Wu?"

Dantai Zanglian furrowed her brows, speaking coldly.

"Smart,"

The Puppet Taoist laughed, "It’s said only the top three in the Earth Ranking have the qualifications to compete for the Heaven Ranking. Only by entering the Heaven Ranking can one have the chance to become an Elder of the Wraith Clan, thus fostering their faction’s prosperity. You’ve occupied the third place of the Earth Ranking for too long, so naturally, someone wants you dead. Since you’re supposed to head to the Xiling Territory to battle the Dead Soul Royal Family’s squad, why not kill you right here, or rather, let’s make you a humanoid puppet? By then, I can enjoy a perfect body."

The sharp laughter of the Puppet Taoist infuriated the other dozens of disciples since, in their hearts, Senior Sister Zanglian was like a pure white lotus, and yet the Puppet Taoist brazenly insulted her.
