The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 782: Chapter 783: Evil Spirit Soothing Flute

Black Jade Mountains, within a certain canyon.

The canyon was almost filled with silhouettes, each with an extraordinary aura. At the end of the canyon stood a colossal green-patterned jade stone, upon which sat a middle-aged man.

This man was none other than Yuwen Ke.

At this moment, Yuwen Ke’s gaze was as cold as water.

The atmosphere in the canyon was also so tense that it made one’s heart palpitate. All the City Lords of Man Tian League were gathered here, and even the City Lords of Dragon League were present. Their fearful gazes were fixed on Yuwen Ke.

Man Tianhao and Lei Wu, one was a Seven Star City Lord, the other was at the Heavenly Profound Complete Realm, were both slain by Ye Mo. Not only that, after Ye Mo killed the two, the Demon Crystal Gems he held in his hand suddenly surpassed those of Yuwen Ke.

How could he bear it?

Though Yuwen Ke said nothing, his face was filled with an unmatchable killing aura.

"Lord Yuwen, that Ye Mo definitely has the strength of a Seven Star City Lord, and he has a powerful martial technique. One palm strike leveled Lei Wu, and all the Demon Crystal Gems on me were taken by him."

Bi Hongfei, who escaped back, said with a face full of terror. Recalling the scene, her back turned cold.

"Even our Alliance Hierarch, Man Tianhao, was killed by him."

A City Lord of Man Tian League continued.

"Humph."

After hearing their words, a cold snort echoed in the canyon, causing everyone to fall silent.

"All a bunch of useless ones, useless, so many experts in the Zone of Chaos, yet we can’t even handle an outsider kid."

Lord Yuwen’s gaze concealed further, and then he furrowed his brow before speeding out of the canyon.

"Ah, ah, Lord Yuwen, save me!"

A voice came, accompanied by a sorry figure darting over. It was Tuoba Bubai, whose face was covered in blood, and his arm had been severed.

Behind him, a graceful figure was in hot pursuit. It was Gu Xingyue, wielding the Yin Yang Extreme Spear, its tip already dripping with blood.

"Tuoba Bubai? Where’s your Demon Crystal Gems?"

Seeing Tuoba Bubai’s arm severed, Yuwen Ke’s first concern was about his Demon Crystal Gems. If Gu Xingyue had taken Tuoba Bubai’s Demon Crystal Gems, she would surpass both him and Ye Mo, becoming the true number one.

"Taken by Gu Xingyue, and she put them directly into her Black Fiend Domain."

Tuoba Bubai said, trembling with fear.

"Useless!"

Yuwen Ke kicked Tuoba Bubai, causing him to shoot back like a cannonball, embedding him into a towering cliff wall.

"Lord Yuwen, you?"

Tuoba Bubai spit out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, looking at Yuwen Ke in disbelief, saying in extreme pain: "Why did you do this? I always followed your orders, even distributing my Demon Crystal Gems to all your subordinates. Why would you kill me?"

"Were those your Demon Crystal Gems? They were Man Tian League’s Demon Crystal Gems. When you plotted to take my Ancient Flame Demon Seed, you were already a dead man. I simply used you to lure Gu Xingyue."

Yuwen Ke punched again, a cyan punch beam directly shattering Tuoba Bubai and the entire towering cliff into pieces.

"All who oppose me meet a dead end. Gu Xingyue, you are no exception."

Yuwen Ke said, turning his gaze to the expressionless Gu Xingyue: "Gu Xingyue, I know what you’re thinking. You think that even if I advance to Half-Step Universe, it doesn’t matter. Even if I can’t counter you, you can still kill me, right?"

"So what?"

Gu Xingyue, whose thoughts were guessed by Yuwen Ke, remained expressionless and said calmly: "I’m not playing with you today. After the Battle of a Thousand Cities, we’ll settle this."

With that, Gu Xingyue turned to leave.

"Haha, Gu Xingyue, do you think you can leave?"

Yuwen Ke suddenly held a foot-long, purple-black flute, one end adorned with a demon pattern, and it emanated an aura of a powerful Spiritual Artifact.

He began to blow on the flute rhythmically, turning the sound into Xuan Aura waves, reaching Gu Xingyue’s vicinity. Instantly, she felt colossal demons appear from all directions, emerging from the void, their faces ferocious, emanating the demonic aura of spear martial technique.

"What is this?"

Gu Xingyue looked at the demons in astonishment: "This is one of the Seven Ancient Evil Weapons, the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute. Playing it summons demons from hell, whose strength matches that of the user."

"What? One of the Seven Ancient Evil Weapons?"

Other City Lords watching were in disbelief, smiling incredulously: "This is a true Immortal Artifact, ranking sixth, the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute, second only to the Devil Refining Gourd."

"Only those who’ve mastered a hint of spatial power can play the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute; otherwise, it’s useless."

"These demons are terrifying. Any of them could easily tear us apart. Only a true Cosmos Realm expert could defeat Lord Yuwen, who possesses the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute."

The discussions among the crowd highlighted the power of the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute.

This flute is a true Immortal Artifact, ranking sixth, but it’s an Immortal Artifact. The Heavenly Snare Blood Spear once ranked second, but now it’s merely a Middle Grade Celestial Weapon, so it’s not as powerful as the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute.

"Indeed."

Yuwen Ke stopped playing the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute, smiling faintly: "If I continue playing, these demons will tear you to pieces. You’d better not resist—your strength already isn’t on par with mine, and with the Evil Spirit Soul-subduing Flute, resistance is futile. Hand over all your Demon Crystal Gems."

"Demon Crystal Gems? Do you think that’s possible?"

Gu Xingyue said, a fierce light flashing in her eyes, her Great Perfection strength erupting. She attacked unexpectedly, splitting a demon in half with one shot, and then dashed off into the distance.

Thud, thud, thud!

Seeing Gu Xingyue trying to escape, Yuwen Ke played again, and a space rift opened directly in front of Gu Xingyue. Out came several demons wielding skeleton axes, hacking fiercely at Gu Xingyue with a cleaving light as if splitting the heavens and earth.

Gu Xingyue’s face fell, but when she attempted to counterattack, more demons behind her launched destructive attacks.

"Each demon’s strength matches mine."

Gu Xingyue used all her might, blocking hundreds of moves, but was ultimately overmatched, and the Yin Yang Extreme Spear burst apart.

Seeing this, Yuwen Ke immediately moved close to Gu Xingyue, his hand slapped down with a giant seal onto her Dantian.

"That’s a Beast seal? Gu Xingyue is finished. If her Dantian is sealed, unless a powerful charm master removes it, her cultivation cannot be used."

A City Lord cried out.
