Ye Chen ran around in the dense forest with Little Tanuki following closely behind him while Dongn Yingyang remained in hot pursuit. Ye Chen’s Astral Body had sensed that Dongn Yingyang was probably a top Heavenly Venerable Rank powerhouse although he had most likely attained this advancent quite recently since he could barely compare with Great Emperor Mingwu in terms of capabilities. Nonetheless, Ye Chen was still not strong enough to defeat him at this point. Even if Ye Chen released his Astral Body, he would only be at mid-Heavenly Venerable Rank. In terms of physical capabilities, both Ye Chen and Little Tanuki were only at Earthly Venerable Rank, so they were much weaker than a Heavenly Venerable One.
While Dongn Yingyang went after Ye Chen, the rest of the people held onto the ropes tightly to keep Little Wingsy in place.
After receiving Ye Chen’s instruction, Little Wingsy finally stopped frowning. If he could return to his original form, then he would not have to fear these people! Ye Chen told him before that he should never turn back into his original form unless he was left with no other choice. Little Wingsy kept Ye Chen’s words in mind at all tis, so he still maintained his human form despite having been tied up for so long.
While Sikou Fengyan, Leiyu Tianyi, and the rest were keeping a close eye on Little Wingsy, they suddenly sensed that sothing was wrong as Little Wingsy abruptly grew larger with azure blue scales appearing on his body.
Pop, pop, pop!
The Snowfield Gastrodia Root ropes snapped apart. Within just a few seconds, Little Wingsy had transford into an enormous serpent with three pairs of transparent wings on its back.
“Good heavens. It’s a mystical beast!” As they looked up at Little Wingsy, who had grown trendously in size, Sikou Fengyan and the other n were scared out of their wits. ‘This is such a gigantic mystical beast. What rank is this monster? Oh my Lord!’
It was difficult to co by a mystical beast that had taken on human form to hide among humans. They had only read about such instances in books. It was mostly presented in the form of romantic stories about humans and mystical beasts falling in love with one another. Whenever combatants ca across such stories, they would usually snort in contempt. However, today, these n had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Little Wingsy opened his mouth and sprayed a blue mist that covered a radius of several hundred ters around him. Whether it was Leiyu Tianyi and his group or those top Tenth Level combatants, they were unable to react in ti and ended up collapsing on the ground one after another.
“This is a poisonous mist!” Sikou Fengyan and the other two Earthly Venerable Ones tried to escape at once.
Little Wingsy swung his huge tail and sent those two Earthly Venerable Ones flying backward over a distance of five to six hundred ters with two loud noises. After crashing into and breaking a few large trees, they finally fell to the ground and were almost dead at that point.
Sikou Fengyan was struck with terror when he saw this. Thus, he imdiately glided into the air and desperately tried to escape.
Little Wingsy’s three pairs of wings started flapping rapidly. Despite his enormous size, he was still able to fly at an incredible speed.
Sikou Fengyan made a determined effort to survive and waved his iron fan. A continuous stream of sharp iron shards shot out at Little Wingsy. Ding, ding, ding... However, those iron shards did not manage to injure Little Wingsy at all. Instead, they beca bent out of shape and broke in half the mont they hit his body.
Sikou Fengyan groaned inwardly. While these seed like ordinary iron shards, they were made of North Sea Black Iron. Hidden weapons that were made of this material were extrely sharp. Their sharpness and hardness should be far greater than that of Tier Four spiritual artifacts. Even so, those iron shards were powerless against Little Wingsy’s tough body!
Thus, the serpent kept chasing after Sikou Fengyan while he glided above the dense forest.
Although Little Wingsy had a strong body, his current strength and speed were still far from what he was capable of achieving at his peak. Therefore, while he had the upper hand, he could not defeat Sikou Fengyan just yet.
anwhile, Ye Chen and Little Tanuki continued to run desperately through the thick forest, but Dongn Yingyang remained on their tail and was gradually closing the distance between them.
When Dongn Yingyang heard what was going on behind him and saw that huge Winged Serpent chasing Sikou Fengyan around in the air, he had figured out at once what had happened and was filled with shock. He realized that this enormous Winged Serpent had been disguising itself as that child all this while. It was not surprising that those sharp hidden weapons and that powerful anesthetic powder of theirs had been rendered useless against the child!
What were they supposed to do now? Well, it seed like Sikou Fengyan was not going to get killed just yet, so Dongn Yingyang figured that he might as well focus on killing Ye Chen first. Once he had succeeded in killing Ye Chen, he could report back to the Grandruler! Dongn Yingyang did not expect so many variables to appear while they were trying to ambush Ye Chen.
As he stared at Ye Chen’s retreating figure, Dongn Yingyang beca more determined and increased his speed.
Ye Chen ran away as fast as he could. His cultivation base was only at Earthly Venerable Rank, so if Dongn Yingyang were to catch up to him, he would certainly be no match for the guy!
Then, Ye Chen suddenly turned around and externalized his Astral Body, transforming it into a tall and mighty gold-armored soldier who charged at Dongn Yingyang while slashing his saber down at the guy.
Dongn Yingyang was just about to catch up to Ye Chen when he suddenly felt a wave of heat coming at him, so he raised his head and saw that ghostly gold-armored soldier appearing out of nowhere and charging toward him.
“What is this?” Dongn Yingyang had fought in more than a thousand battles but had never encountered such a situation. Then, he noticed that the gold-armored soldier appeared to be sowhat unreal. Could it be that this gold-armored soldier was so kind of a ghost?
The purple flas burned brightly as the saber slashed down at him.
With a height of five to six ters and that huge saber in his hand, the gold-armored soldier emitted a heavy and oppressive presence.
Dongn Yingyang was terrified by the gold-armored soldier’s powerful appearance and did not dare to fight the soldier head-on, so he glided backward and dodged to the side.
Boom!
The gold-armored soldier slashed his huge saber down in an earth-shattering noise and left a deep trench in the ground. All the plants that ca in contact with the saber were instantly devoured and turned into ashes by the purple flas.
When Dongn Yingyang turned around and saw that the ground behind him had been burned black, his expression changed at once. Even a top Heavenly Venerable One could never produce such destructive effects with one attack. Dongn Yingyang trembled with fear when he saw how those fearso purple flas had devoured everything that stood in their way.
Dongn Yingyang was not aware that this gold-armored soldier externalized by Ye Chen’s Astral Body possessed only the capabilities of a mid-Heavenly Venerable One, so he was under the impression that this gold-armored soldier had at least attained the Mystique Venerable Rank! Dongn Yingyang might not have been so nervous if he had run into a beginner Mystique Venerable One, but this gold-armored soldier did not seem human at all. To him, that solemn and serene look on the soldier’s face appeared to be rather sinister and horrifying.
Nonetheless, Ye Chen did not realize how much fear and awe his gold-armored soldier had caused Dongn Yingyang to feel. Upon seeing Dongn Yingyang fleeing from the soldier, Ye Chen naturally proceeded to pursue the guy.
The gold-armored soldier flew across dozens of ters with a whooshing sound and swung his saber down again.
What an incredible speed!
Dongn Yingyang noticed that the gold-armored soldier seed to be able to move through space freely and had reached him in an instant. Even a Mystique Venerable One might not necessarily be capable of achieving such speed! Although Dongn Yingyang was quite a ruthless and fearless person, he could not help feeling a little scared in the face of an unknown being like this. Therefore, he simply continued to soar into the air and dodge the incoming attack from the soldier.
The gold-armored soldier kept waving his saber around and slashing at his target.
anwhile, Dongn Yingyang avoided the attacks. Once, he nearly failed to dodge the soldier’s attack in ti, so the saber had sliced through his hair when the soldier swung it at him. All of his hair imdiately got burned up by the purple flas, which later reached his scalp. The searing pain caused Dongn Yingyang to scream bitterly.
“D*mn it!” Dongn Yingyang was in a miserable state and had a vicious look on his face. When he turned around and found Ye Chen standing rooted to his spot without moving a muscle, Dongn Yingyang instantly realized that Ye Chen had to be the one controlling this gold-armored soldier. Thus, Ye Chen’s body should be where the weakest point was located.
As he sensed the soldier’s saber approaching him again, Dongn Yingyang turned his body to dodge the attack and swept past the gold-armored soldier before charging through the air toward Ye Chen.
“Oh no!” Ye Chen turned pale with fear and hurriedly urged the gold-armored soldier to turn around and rescue him.
“Go to hell!” Dongn Yingyang yelled and launched an Iron Fist so powerful that it produced a howling sound while coming at Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen were to receive this punch from Dongn Yingyang, he might die right there and then. With a flicker of thought, the gold-armored soldier moved across dozens of ters and appeared in front of Ye Chen as a shield while slashing his saber down at Dongn Yingyang’s fist force.
Rumble!
As the fist force and Ye Chen’s Astral Body collided into one another, the impact caused the ground to shake and instantly destroyed nurous large trees around the area.
At the sa ti, a terrifying and thunderous boom resounded through the valleys of Erald Cloud Mountain for a prolonged period.
Dongn Yingyang glided backward over so distance and then stood in the air looking sowhat helpless.
In the anti, the gold-armored soldier shook and flickered slightly while Ye Chen beca as pale as a sheet and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ye Chen’s Astral Body was only as strong as a mid-Heavenly Venerable One at most, so he had reached the limit of what he could handle after exchanging one blow with a top Heavenly Venerable One.
Dongn Yingyang did not expect that the gold-armored soldier would still be able to turn around and rescue Ye Chen under such circumstances and was startled by his speed. However, after going up against the soldier head-on, he suddenly realized that the gold-armored soldier was not as terrifying as he had imagined seeing as the soldier was at mid-Heavenly Venerable Rank at the most.
“So, this thing isn’t that powerful after all. Now, I shall end your lives!” As Dongn Yingyang recalled how afraid he had been of the gold-armored soldier and how much he had suffered because of that, his expression turned into one of fury, and he charged toward Ye Chen like a bullet.
Upon seeing Dongn Yingyang charging over, Ye Chen could only grit his teeth and spurred the gold-armored soldier forward to face the enemy.
Little Tanuki felt anxious as she could tell that Ye Chen was no match for Dongn Yingyang, so she went onto Ye Chen’s shoulder and activated her Astral Body. At that point, Little Tanuki’s Astral Body could not be externalized just yet and did not have much substantial combat power. Nonetheless, tanukis as a species had an innate ability that allowed them to use their Astral Bodies to strengthen illusions.
Just as Little Tanuki had activated her Astral Body, a bizarre sight took place. Little Tanuki’s Astral Body had transford into white flas that started to coil around the gold-armored soldier’s body. Then, the purple flas all over the soldier’s body began to rge with the white flas.
The rging process was not that smooth and complete so only around five percent of Little Tanuki’s Astral Body had managed to rge with Ye Chen’s Astral Body. Nonetheless, the flas surrounding the gold-armored soldier burned brighter as the soldier’s capabilities were significantly enhanced.
“What’s going on?” Ye Chen was taken aback as he imdiately recognized Little Tanuki’s energy within those white flas. Could it be that Astral Bodies could be rged?
Once Little Tanuki had rged her Astral Body with that of Ye Chen, his Astral Body grew significantly stronger. The purple and white flas had enhanced each other’s beauty as they coiled around the body of the gold-armored soldier and heightened the stately and dignified air about the soldier.
When he saw Dongn Yingyang coming at him again while throwing out a punch, Ye Chen’s Astral Body moved at once.
“Bring it on!” Rays of light shone forth from the gold-armored soldier’s eyes.
With another booming sound, the soldier and Dongn Yingyang exchanged blows once again. The soldier swayed slightly and then charged toward Dongn Yingyang with an angry roar. Ye Chen’s Astral Body would have certainly been severely damaged if he had received that attack from Dongn Yingyang before the rging of his Astral Body with that of Little Tanuki’s. Thus, the effects of their astral rging were quite obvious.
