The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1366 - 1367: Fierce Battle in the Sea

"Looking for death, daring to insult our Senior Sister!"

Immediately, an elite disciple with the cultivation level of Divine Venerate Two-Soul charged at the Puppet Taoist, a longsword shimmering in his hand like a bright star, appearing directly before the Puppet Taoist.

Die!

Pfft!

However, before his sword could descend, a powerful Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish appeared behind him, piercing his body with a spear.

"Hehe, truly reckless. But you almost managed to harm me, indeed impressive. No wonder you’re an elite disciple of the Wraith Clan."

As the Puppet Taoist spoke, he reached out a hand, extracting the Soul Body of the elite disciple, which slowly shrank. His fingers moved in a pattern, and the eyes of that elite disciple became lifeless.

"Go!"

The Puppet Taoist shouted, his aged fingers dancing in the air, causing the elite disciple to suddenly turn and attack Dantai Zanglian.

"Junior Brother Zhang Yun is being controlled by the enemy."

"This Puppet Taoist is truly vicious, controlling Junior Brother Zhang Yun and using him to attack Senior Sister Zanglian."

Witnessing this, the faces of everyone changed drastically.

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister will avenge you, absolutely!"

Moved by her emotions, Dantai Zanglian faced Zhang Yun’s attacking sword, suddenly releasing a lotus leaf that pierced through him, turning him into a mist of blood.

"Hehe, truly ruthless. Don’t you know he retained his consciousness while being controlled by me? Guess what he felt when killed by his most beloved Senior Sister?"

The Puppet Taoist laughed loudly.

"Damn it, I’ll kill you!"

Several figures charged forward furiously, but Ye Mo moved his body to block their path, saying, "Don’t act impulsively. The enemy is trying to provoke you. Charging ahead will only be a pointless sacrifice, and you’ll end up controlled by him."

"Kid, you have some skill, capable of deflecting the poison smoke bomb. I’ll make you into a puppet!"

With a flick of his finger, the Puppet Taoist commanded a Divine Venerable Six Souls Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish behind him to attack Ye Mo. Simultaneously, hundreds of Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish wielding tridents surrounded the dozen disciples tightly.

Wu Jing, Wu Hao, and others, looking at the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish closing in from all sides, were filled with killing aura, mere presence causing a sense of dread.

Given the disparity between both sides and the presence of Divine Venerable Six Souls Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, today they were surrounded with little hope of survival.

"Senior Sister Zanglian, there are too many Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish controlled by the enemy; we can’t hold them off. We’ll create a path for you, with your strength, you can escape."

The elite disciples carried determined expressions.

"Junior Brothers, even if we die, I, Dantai Zanglian, will never leave you behind. Better we die together."

A massive lotus platform appeared on the surface of Dantai Zanglian’s body, spinning rapidly, her aura intensifying to an unfathomable level, reaching Divine Venerable Six Souls.

"Lotus Platform Chaotic Dance!"

Boom boom boom boom!

As the lotus platform spun, lotus petals danced differently, forming a giant whirlwind, lifting seawater underneath.

"Attack!"

The Puppet Taoist’s expression changed, shouting as he simultaneously commanded all Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish to launch an assault.

Ye Mo didn’t hesitate, shouting furiously as he leaped out like a cannonball, striking the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish with the Immortal-Slaying Thunder Fist, creating bursts of blood and flesh upon impact.

Ordinary Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish couldn’t withstand Ye Mo’s punch.

Woosh!

The Divine Venerable Six Souls Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish swung its spear fiercely, leaving a giant trace, striking at Ye Mo aggressively.

Ye Mo immediately deployed the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear, blocking with it in front of his chest, intercepting the attack, yet he was knocked backward in the air repeatedly, the terrifying force numbing his hands.

Even without martial skills, the Divine Venerable Six Souls Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish was beyond Ye Mo’s ability to withstand.

Elsewhere, Dantai Zanglian’s Lotus Platform Chaotic Dance struck, causing heads and bodies to explode in unison.

But, lacking any awareness, these Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish didn’t react; had they been normal Soul Beasts, they would have fled at the scene of brutal slaughter, yet more Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish continued to surge.

"Kill!"

Wu Jing and others found themselves deeply encircled, their expressions grim under Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish assault, despite being elite disciples, with the strongest only at Divine Venerate Three Souls.

With Dantai Zanglian held by two Divine Venerable Six Souls Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish and Ye Mo similarly restrained, they couldn’t focus their minds.

Bang!

There was indeed a powerful Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, wielding its trident with strength, booming through space, seemingly capable of blowing apart an Ancient Divine Mountain.

With a clatter, the spear blew through an elite disciple, reducing him to blood mist, his soul body attempting escape but promptly captured by the Puppet Taoist.

The other elite disciples were equally overwhelmed, dying one after another before Dantai Zanglian, who despite her strength could only watch helplessly as her disciples perished.

Her face turned frigid, as her lips bit until they almost bled.

"Puppet Taoist, who instructed you?"

Dantai Zanglian, in extreme rage, knew no sooner had their squad begun their mission than all elite disciples were already dead.

"Since you’re about to die, I’ll tell you the truth; Wang Wei Wu ordered me to kill you, promising a thousand Ascending Soul Pills in return. With those pills, I can break through my Soul Realm, and even control Divine Venerate Seven Souls experts."

The Puppet Taoist laughed.

Ascending Soul Pill, necessary for Martial Artists to breakthrough Soul Cultivation, without it Soul Realm advancement is impossible.

"Wang Wei Wu is generous, giving you a thousand Ascending Soul Pills."

Dantai Zanglian sneered.

"To become an Elder of the Wraith Clan, what are a thousand Ascending Soul Pills?"

With that, the Puppet Taoist’s fingers danced once more, commanding all Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish to attack the duo.

"Ye Mo, be careful, you’re not from the Wraith Clan. When I launch a full attack, seize the chance to escape."

Dantai Zanglian shouted loudly, now fully trusting Ye Mo wasn’t a Dead Soul Royal Family spy, knowing he could have fled earlier.

"I’ve found a way to deal with the Puppet Taoist, hold on a bit longer."

Responding, Ye Mo continued fending off Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, formulating a plan.
