Chapter 1394

Yang Kai’s brows were tightly furrowed. He stood at a certain place in Dragon’s Cave Mountain, his whole body covered in blood, looking disheveled, and stared blankly and strangely at a point not far ahead.

On the ground in front, there was a huge deep pit, and beside the pit were scattered countless pieces of minced meat, looking extremely terrifying.

This was obviously the consequence caused by Xie Li’s self-destruction.

But Yang Kai simply couldn’t believe what he had just seen！

Why would Xie Li choose to self-destruct？ Even if he had the greatest enmity with himself, he didn’t seem like the kind of person who would sacrifice his own life for revenge. Moreover, the battle between himself and him had just begun. Did he have no confidence or certainty of defeating himself at all？

Only those who are pushed to a dead end will choose this extreme way to perish with the enemy. Otherwise, if the enemy doesn’t die after the self-destruction, wouldn’t it make those who love you sad and those who hate you happy？

Yang Kai subconsciously suspected that this was some kind of conspiracy that Xie Li was playing thinking that everything just now was an illusion.

But the huge crater in front of him and the fierce energy impact just now were clearly the effects that could only be produced after a martial artist of that level blew himself up. This couldn’t be faked at all. In the perception of his spiritual sense, there was no longer any trace of Xie Li in the world. He really just disappeared like this.

Are you crazy？ While cursing in his heart, a hint of palpitations also flashed in Yang Kai’s eyes.

A Returning Void 2-layer powerhouse blew himself up only three or five zhang away from him. The terrifying energy swept over. If Yang Kai hadn’t noticed something was wrong and prepared in advance, he might really have been dragged along to his death this time.

The two layers of protection formed by the weapon spirit Firebird and the purple shield finally reduced the power of the opponent’s self-destruction to about 60%. Even so, when the remaining shockwave hit, Yang Kai felt like a canoe sailing on the sea in a storm, with the danger of capsizing at any time.

Fortunately, his physical body was powerful, and his golden blood also had a strong recovery ability. At a critical moment, he even tore open a spatial crack and devoured most of the remaining shockwave into the crack.

At this moment, although his image was a bit embarrassed, he was not in any serious danger.

In other words, Xie Li died in vain！

But Yang Kai still had his brows tightly furrowed and didn’t have the slightest excitement. He felt vaguely that something was wrong with this matter.

Unless Xie Li’s brain was rusty, how could he make such a stupid choice. Xie Li had always served as the deacon of the Shadow Moon Palace, and his cultivation level was not low. Such a person was undoubtedly very shrewd, and he would never use self-destruction to launch an attack.

Yang Kai couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

Thinking about the change in Xie Li’s expression before self-destruction, Yang Kai was even more confused.

Just when there was no clue, another change occurred. In the huge pit, a piece of flesh and blood belonging to Xie Li after self-destruction suddenly wriggled strangely, and then a blood-red light shot out from it.

At the same time, four or five exactly the same blood-red lights also shot over from all directions. Looking at the positions, they were exactly where the several Saint King Realm martial artists of the Xie Family who had been killed by Yang Kai before died.

As soon as these blood-red lights appeared, they all rushed towards the position where Yang Kai was. The speed was extremely fast, and there was no sound at all.

When Yang Kai discovered them, they had already rushed in front of him！

Yang Kai’s face changed. Although he didn’t know what these blood-red lights were exactly, he also perceived their strangeness. He stretched out his hand and pointed in front of him and a Hao Tian Shield slowly took shape and blocked in front. Then, the golden blood filaments in Yang Kai’s hand trembled and cut towards those blood-red lights.

The sound of breaking through the air rang out, and the extremely sharp golden blood filaments cut those blood-red lights back and forth hundreds of times in an instant.

But only one light that looked a little weaker was scattered, revealing its original appearance. It looked like a silkworm chrysalis. Its body was cut into countless pieces and dissipated between heaven and earth, as if it had never appeared before.

And the remaining ones came at a faster speed.

Yang Kai’s face showed a look of astonishment. He hurriedly pulled back and retreated, but the speed of those lights was undoubtedly a little faster. In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the front of the Haotian Shield. The thick Haotian Shield was like nothing and couldn’t stop their advance at all.

Several blood-red lights only flashed and then rushed into Yang Kai’s mind. The divine sense defense couldn’t stop them at all.

Damn it！

Yang Kai’s face sank, and he immediately closed his eyes and escaped his mind into the sea of consciousness. The next moment, the spiritual body of the divine soul appeared in the sea of consciousness. He turned his head and looked around, and soon found the trace of the invaders.

They were exactly the same as what he had just seen, all things like silkworm chrysalises, blood-red in color, quietly suspended in a certain place above the sea of consciousness.

When Yang Kai found them, they all burst out with light at the same time, and then gathered and merged towards the middle. In the blink of an eye, several strange things like silkworm chrysalises were integrated into one.

A somewhat familiar aura emerged from it.

“Lu Ye！” Yang Kai’s eyes shrank. Although he had only fought against Lu Ye once, Yang Kai still remembered his aura because this person was too strange.

However, what he didn’t expect was that behind this blood-red light, Lu Ye’s trace was actually hidden.

Could it be that… Xie Li’s self-destruction was also controlled by Lu Ye？ Otherwise, how could a Return to Void 2-layer Realm powerhouse choose such an extreme means at the beginning of the battle？

And one of these blood-red lights clearly shot out from a piece of Xie Li’s flesh and blood.

Recalling the change in Xie Li’s expression before his self-destruction, Yang Kai felt vaguely that his guess was correct. If this was really the case then Lu Ye was too amazing. He could actually control a Return to Void 2-layer Realm powerhouse!

Just who was he？ In an instant, Yang Kai raised his evaluation of Lu Ye by a notch and no longer dared to look down on him in the slightest.

He simply couldn’t believe it.

Yang Kai’s guess was not wrong. Xie Li had indeed been controlled by Lu Ye.As a figure who stood at the peak tens of thousands of years ago, although Lu Ye was now like a dragon trapped in shallow water and his cultivation level was not outstanding, the various secret techniques he mastered were far beyond what an ordinary Void Returning Stage could compare with. Even if Xie Li was shrewd, he never expected that Lu Ye could actually plant the Myriad Poison Evil Gu on him.

Through this Gu, Lu Ye secretly controlled the fates of the Xie Family, the Sea Heart Sect, the Flowing Cloud Valley, and many martial artists he had subdued.

From the very beginning, he didn’t plan to let Xie Li seek revenge on Yang Kai or kill Yang Kai. His initial plan was to control Yang Kai through the Myriad Poison Evil Gu and retrieve his own things from Yang Kai.

In the Flowing Flame Sand Land, his precious item was obtained by Yang Kai. Lu Ye wanted to take it back all the time, and now he finally found the opportunity.

His original intention was not to let Xie Li self-detonate to kill Yang Kai, but just wanted to seriously injure Yang Kai and make him have no power to resist.

However, despite all his calculations, he never expected that Xie Li would choose to approach Yang Kai in a hand-to-hand combat manner. If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s powerful strength, his plan might have failed. After all, once Yang Kai died, he would never be able to retrieve his own things again.

The Myriad Poison Evil Gu was not an actual poisonous insect, but rather something he had condensed using a spiritual secret technique. It was extremely strange and difficult to guard against. Now that several Myriad Poison Evil Gus had merged into one, its power was even greater than before. It could be said that using it to control a Saint King Third-Order martial artist was simply a piece of cake.

In the Sea of Consciousness, Yang Kai stared at the thing that resembled a silkworm chrysalis, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Although he didn’t recognize the Myriad Poison Evil Gu, Yang Kai also knew that it wasn’t anything good. With a thought, the churning sea water below that resembled flames surged out in full force and wrapped around the silkworm chrysalis.

However, the silkworm chrysalis showed no intention of resisting and allowed the sea water to strike. Soon, it was tightly wrapped.

The extremely powerful spiritual fire continuously burned the silkworm chrysalis but it seemed to have no reaction. It only flashed a red light on its body and then acted as if nothing had happened.

Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, and he secretly felt that he had underestimated this strange thing. His spiritual fire doesn’t seem to be able to cause much damage to it. Thinking of this, he no longer bothered to do useless work. With a wave of his hand, the sea water fell back down.

Just as he was about to use another method, the blood-colored silkworm chrysalis suddenly swayed leisurely and transformed into a blood-red ray of light, charging straight towards his soul spirit body.

How could Yang Kai let it succeed? In this Sea of Consciousness, he was the master. His thoughts and actions were in sync, and he could control everything！

With a cold snort, a series of fiery red spears, condensed from the power of pure consciousness, appeared eerily and swarmed towards the blood-colored chrysalis, but the silkworm chrysalis was extremely dexterous. Youdaoplaceholder0 back and forth in small magnitudes, actually avoiding all the attacks.

So difficult to deal with? A hint of fierceness across Yang Kai’s face. The World Annihilation Demon Eye suspended above the sea of consciousness suddenly opened, and a golden light shot out from the huge golden pupil, covering downwards.

The blood-colored silkworm chrysalis evaded several times but still couldn’t avoid it and was instantly within.

The rapidly flashing Myriad Poison Evil Gu immediately quieted down, as if it was fixed in place. Its fat body twisted around, and a strange squeaking sound was also transmitted, seemingly extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Ye’s means are indeed remarkable. He can use the Myriad Poison Evil Gu to control so many Void Return Stage martial artists and make them serve him, but he also underestimates Yang Kai too much. He actually wants to use the Myriad Poison Evil Gu to control Yang Kai.

In Yang Kai’s sea of consciousness, there is such a natural talent and supernatural power as the World Annihilation Demon Eye. The greatest function of the World Annihilation Golden Light is to purify the spiritual consciousness power of others. The Myriad Poison Evil Gu is condensed from spiritual consciousness, so it is naturally just restraint.

A hissing sound was heard, and on the surface of the blood-colored silkworm chrysalis, blood-red mist was evaporated. No matter how it struggled, it could not get rid of the cover of the golden light.

Yang Kai watched coldly from the side, his expression neither surprised nor happy, but his heart was greatly astonished. He didn’t know how strange Lu Ye’s spiritual power was. Even though it was enveloped by the Golden Light of Annihilation, this blood-colored silkworm chrysalis wouldn’t be immediately dissolved. It seemed that it would take some more effort to solve it.

The longer the night, the more dreams. Yang Kai pondered for a moment, and then issued an order in his heart. The next moment, from the colorful treasure island in his sea of consciousness, there was suddenly a buzzing sound, as if countless mosquitoes were flying towards this side at high speed, flapping their wings. And clearly visible, a black cloud was quickly approaching over there.

Soul-devouring Insects！
