Chapter 1330 A Way Out (1/2)
Countless man and beast-like wax figures flooded out from the bottom of the wax sea, powerful Genesis Qi undulations pulsing from their bodies. Although the undulations were not as strong as when they were alive, the army could not be underestimated.
The great wax army charged forth as killing intent swept through the air, threatening to engulf Zhou Yuan and Tuntun.
Zhou Yuan and Tuntun did not dare to tarry in the face of such a giant force. They immediately circulated their Genesis Qi and prepared to meet their opponents.
Countless hairs shot out from the Heavenly Yuan Brush, leaping towards the great wax army like chains. The brush hair chains swept through the army like a giant windmill, chopping numerous wax figures to pieces.
Erode.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan shook the Heavenly Yuan Brush, dispersing innumerable invisible brush hairs. The hairs drifted into the numerous surrounding wax bodies and absorbed their Genesis Qi before returning to the Heavenly Yuan Brush like birds to the forest, feeding back the Genesis Qi into Zhou Yuan’s body.
This allowed Zhou Yuan to maintain a full supply of Genesis Qi.
“Silver Shadow!”
However, this was clearly not enough. With another thought from Zhou Yuan, the silver figure that had been pinned to the ground by Yuan Quan previously leaped out. Silver liquid squirmed on its body, repairing its wounds as it charged into the wax army.
Roar!
Tuntun released a thunderous roar as its giant claws danced in the air, shredding countless wax figures to ribbons.
Man, beast and puppet wreaked havoc in the great puppet army, seemingly immovable like mountains.
Yuan Quan stood in the air, an amused smile hanging from the corners of his mouth as he watched. “Once you’ve fallen into my Sacred Candle Law Domain, don’t even think about leaving.”
Boom! Boom!
As the intense battle continued, Zhou Yuan gradually began to feel that something was wrong. Their numbers never seemed to decrease no matter how many he destroyed. His Spirit senses immediately swept out and found that the smashed wax figures would soon rise from the bottom of the wax sea once more.
They were basically endless, making it impossible to wipe them all out no matter how many were destroyed.
Zhou Yuan’s brows knitted together as he looked towards Tuntun. In that moment, he faintly sensed some kind of peculiar undulation from its body. However, the undulation was far too indistinct and difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Due to his cautiousness, he did not cast aside this seemingly insignificant discovery. Instead, the Decoder Saint Rune soon began to rotate in his pupils.
The scenery immediately began to change and he finally discovered the origin of the indistinct undulations from Tuntun’s body. They were ash gray specks similar to the wax on the wax figures. The wax entered the body and slowly accumulated as more and more wax figures were destroyed.
When the wax accumulated to a certain point, it would smother all other auras, ultimately transforming the target into one of the wax figures.
A chill rose in Zhou Yuan’s heart. Only now did he realize the most problematic aspect of the wax figures. If they destroyed too many, they would slowly be infected and turned into wax puppets.
Zhou Yuan hurriedly looked down at his own body. Sure enough, he found several ash gray specks. These spacks were near impossible to detect and were not removed when they circulated their Genesis Qi. If not for the Decoder Saint Rune, he would not have discovered their existence until it was far too late.
No wonder Yuan Quan was just watching them destroy his wax army without bothering to interfere. It turns out that they were digging their own graves.
Zhou Yuan sucked in a deep breath and sent a transmission to Tuntun to inform it of his discovery.
Tuntun’s body immediately turned rigid. Its eyes changed somewhat as it released a deep growl.
