The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1367 - 1368: Counter-Control

Hearing Ye Mo’s words, Dantai Zanglian couldn’t help being shocked. Leaving aside the Puppet Taoist himself, who was already a Divine Venerable Six Souls–level powerhouse, among these Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish there were actually five with Divine Venerable Six Souls strength. Besides the three attacking Ye Mo and Dantai Zanglian, there were two more standing guard to the Puppet Taoist’s left and right, and as for the ones under Divine Venerable Five Souls, they were simply countless.

What method did Ye Mo possibly have to deal with this Puppet Taoist? She couldn’t figure it out.

The method Ye Mo thought of naturally couldn’t do without the Wraith Demon Emperor’s reminder.

Since these Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish were being controlled by the Puppet Taoist, then their spirits were definitely being manipulated by him. If Ye Mo could cut off the other party’s control, he could naturally break this control.

"Ye Mo, carefully observe his five fingers right now and see what you can find."

The Wraith Demon Emperor spoke.

While fending off the attacks of the Divine Venerable Six Souls–level Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, Ye Mo activated the Eye of the Divine Beast. Sure enough, he discovered that the Puppet Taoist’s ten fingers were each connected to countless rippling light rays of energy, and those rippling rays were connected to the heads of those Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish.

"This is...?"

Ye Mo was greatly shocked. If not for the Eye of the Divine Beast, he fundamentally wouldn’t have been able to probe any of this.

"That’s right, those are Soul Light Rays used in the Puppetry Technique to control killing puppets. Ordinary people can’t sense them at all."

The Wraith Demon Emperor said.

"Then what should I do?"

Ye Mo asked anxiously.

"Cut off those Soul Light Rays."

The Wraith Demon Emperor immediately said, "However, with your current Soul Cultivation, it’s very hard to sever the Soul Light Rays. Think about whether Ancestor Bodhi taught you any methods related to Soul Manipulation."

"Methods to manipulate spirits?"

Ye Mo fell into deep thought, but he didn’t think for long before the grave expression on his face gradually relaxed.

In the Soul Manipulation that Ancestor Bodhi had taught him, there really was such a move.

While blocking attacks, he circulated his spirit power at the same time, then, as fast as lightning, he drilled it into the body of the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish before him. Immediately, he discovered that in the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish’s Soul Sea, a mark had been planted, and within that mark there was an incomparably powerful branding. It was clearly something the Puppet Taoist had put in place.

"Removing Soul Branding? Others might not know how, but I’m more than familiar with it."

Ye Mo let out a sly chuckle and immediately erased the Soul Branding. At this time, the Puppet Taoist still hadn’t noticed that this Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish attacking Ye Mo had had its Soul Branding erased by him. After all, he had so many killing puppets to control.

Ye Mo directly followed the trail and wiped out the planted mark as well. Without the defense of the branding, erasing the mark was easy. Ye Mo then replanted his own mark and reinforced his own branding.

The Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish that had been attacking Ye Mo also suddenly stopped.

"Heh heh, that Puppet Taoist needs to use Soul Light Rays to control the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, but my method doesn’t need that at all. With just a single word from me, I can command it."

Ye Mo laughed loudly. If the Puppet Taoist hadn’t first erased its own consciousness, with Ye Mo’s Soul Cultivation he simply wouldn’t have been able to control a Divine Venerable Six Souls–level Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish. Instead, this had actually helped Ye Mo, giving him a Divine Venerable Six Souls–level helper.

At this moment, the Puppet Taoist finally sensed that one Soul Light Ray had snapped. Seeing the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish standing motionless in front of Ye Mo, he immediately exclaimed in shock, "You... how could you possibly break my Soul Light Ray?"

"Not only did I break your Soul Light Ray—little one, go!"

Ye Mo laughed loudly, and that Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish suddenly turned around and charged at the Puppet Taoist.

"How is this possible?"

Others couldn’t see the Soul Light Rays, but he could see them clearly. Yet Ye Mo could actually control the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish with just a shout. This was simply beyond his comprehension.

Dantai Zanglian watched this scene, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face. This Ye Mo had actually reverse-controlled the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish.

"Dantai Zanglian, you pin down those two Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, and I’ll control them."

"Alright!"

Dantai Zanglian replied, her hands waving repeatedly as sheets of lotus petals shot out, linking together into chains that crisscrossed in all directions. In an instant, they bound those two Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, and Ye Mo once again used his Soul Manipulation method to take control of them.

Now, Ye Mo already had three Divine Venerable Six Souls–level Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish killing puppets.

"Kill!"

With Ye Mo’s command, those two Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish also charged out violently.

The situation instantly reversed.

The Puppet Taoist now had only two Divine Venerable Six Souls–level killing puppets, while Ye Mo had three. Add Dantai Zanglian and Ye Mo himself, and the opponent was utterly outmatched.

"Kill, all of you attack together!"

Flames practically burst from the Puppet Taoist’s eyes. In just a short moment, the Puppetry Technique he had always been so proud of had not only failed to kill Ye Mo and Dantai Zanglian, it had even allowed Ye Mo to reverse-control three Divine Venerable Six Souls–level Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish.

One had to know, he had paid a huge price to gain control of those five Divine Venerable Six Souls–level Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, and now they were actually being easily reverse-controlled by Ye Mo.

The Puppet Taoist’s gaze was filled with venomous hatred. Originally, he had thought Dantai Zanglian was the hardest one to deal with. Turned out, this Ye Mo was the truly troublesome one.

The Puppet Taoist’s fingers danced repeatedly as a surging Killing Aura erupted from his body. Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish from all directions rushed over, swarming toward those three Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish, but they couldn’t stop them at all. Before they could even get close, they were blasted flying by the three Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish under Ye Mo’s control.

"Kill!"

The Puppet Taoist went completely berserk, and the Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish guarding his sides also lunged into motion at the same time.

"Puppet Taoist, you killed so many of my Elite Disciples. I’ll make you wish you were dead."

Dantai Zanglian waved her jade-like hand, and countless lotus petals wrapped around her arm. With Wraith Energy poured into them, those refined petals suddenly expanded, brilliantly radiant, turning into petal bracelets that smashed down toward the Puppet Taoist.

Seeing this, the Puppet Taoist’s pupils shrank abruptly. With a yank of his arm, dozens of Divine Venerable Three Souls and Divine Venerable Four Souls–level Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish were forcibly dragged in front of him, forming a wall of flesh.

But as soon as those petal bracelets struck the flesh wall, those Abyssal Demon Ghost Fish were blown to pieces. Just as the Puppet Taoist was about to flee, the petal bracelets crashed down, instantly punching a hole through his chest.

If Ye Mo had activated the Eye of the Divine Beast at this moment, he would have seen that all the Soul Light Rays connected to the Puppet Taoist’s fingers had snapped.

"This Dantai Zanglian really is powerful."

Ye Mo marveled as he watched, then didn’t hesitate. In a flash, he appeared beside the Puppet Taoist, and with a fierce grab of his big hand, he directly seized the man’s Soul Body.

Dantai Zanglian flew over at the same time, a Ethereal Greatsword in her hand cleaving down toward the Puppet Taoist’s ethereal Soul Body.

Dragging the Soul Body, Ye Mo dodged her strike and laughed. "Didn’t you say you were going to make him wish he were dead? Simply cutting his Soul Body apart isn’t the best way to do that."
