Chapter 478 - Weird Puppets (2/2)

Some buildings wrapped by thick tree vines scattered in the village orderly; however, the ground was covered with… compared to corpses, they looked more like weird withered puppets.

These puppets included men, women, the old, and the young, and each of them had a vivid terrified expression on their faces. Judging from their looks, it was very likely that they were the villagers of Pingxi Village instead of some puppets someone carved to kill time.

After taking a closer look, Xiao Chen and his companions found that most of these puppets were dark and cracked. Besides, they looked like human beings so much that they formed an extremely terrifying scene. The fact that all the people in the village were turned into horrible puppets was really chilling. Ziyun’er’s face turned pale with fear as she murmured, “What… what are these?”

Xiao Chen also found it unbelievable, and the scene in front of them was so weird. Yi Tong kept his composure and said in a calm tone, “It’s Soul-consuming Evil Flower who killed them. If one’s soul was swallowed by Soul-consuming Evil Flower, he will become a withered puppet. Soul-consuming Evil Flower slaughtered this village last night.”

On hearing the words, Yang Qing, Ziyun’er, and others were shocked and showed an expression of disbelief. Gui Xian patted his own head and yelled, “Oh, no, my old friend!” After saying this, he flew toward a big tree in the distance.

The tree was extremely tall and big, and a tree house was built on it. Gui Xian landed in front of tree house, which was covered by leaves, and pushed the wooden door open, but he only saw several dust-covered pots and pans in the empty house. He let out a sigh of relief and went back to Xiao Chen and his companions.

“My old friend seemed to have left home many days ago. It’s so lucky that he is fine, but I don’t know where he has gone. Alas…”

As Gui Xian was speaking, a black figure flashed quickly. Yi Tong was the first one to notice the figure and shouted, “Who is there?” After saying this, he chased after the figure like a purple light. None-flower Dust went after him. Gu Feng, Xiao Ning, Xiao Chen, and others reacted quickly and chased after the black figure in no time.

“Stop running!” Yi Tong growled. He jumped up and punched toward the black figure. With his attack, leaves and broken branches were sent flying in the air, and there were endless thundering sounds.

Xiao Chen, who chased after him, was surprised. The Yi Tong he knew was always calm, and he had never seen him as agitated as at the moment. Just as he was about to go forward and lend him a hand, Gui Xian stopped him and said, “Kid, you’re injured and should not run your cultivation method.”

Gu Feng caught up with the black figure as well and shouted, “You sneaky guy, who are you?” He held his Raging Dragon Blade in his hand instantly, and as he brandished the blade, black saber radiance over 30 meters long rushed forward. The black figure turned back quickly and met Gu Feng’s powerful blow with one hand, causing a booming sound.

“Have I been found…” the black figure’s voice was hollow and low. After taking a careful look, Gu Feng found that the black figure was, in fact, a human being in a black cloak. The man was enveloped by a strange black mist, with his face hidden in the cloak.

Yi Tong’s expression changed, and he was no longer as calm as before. “Who are you? Do you have something to do with Soul-consuming Evil Flower?” he asked in a cold tone.

Xiao Chen looked sober at the moment and wondered why Yi Tong cared about Soul-consuming Evil Flower so much. Those who went after them were also shocked after hearing the words. Soul-consuming Evil Flower had appeared for over a hundred years, and even Immortals’ League failed to find the whereabouts of it. Xiao Chen and his companions could not help but wonder if the man in the black cloak was the man behind Soul-consuming Evil Flower.

“Soul-consuming Evil Flower? So you call it Soul-consuming Evil Flower…” the man in the black cloak laughed coldly, turned back, and was about to leave. Gu Feng took a big step forward and shouted, “Stop there!”

Gu Feng was a warlike man. Since he had met a well-matched opponent, he would not let him go easily. Xiao Ning took out his weapon and rushed forward as well. Yi Tong would not let the man go either since the man had something to do with Soul-consuming Evil Flower. He turned into a purple light and charged at the man.

The man in the black cloak was at ease even when facing quick attacks from the three men. He tossed his sleeves, and two black veils of mist spread out and transformed into two black-robed men with the same figure as the man.

“Embodiment Duplication Skill!” None-flower Dust was slightly shocked. He had been studying about Embodiment Duplication Skill for many years, but he had never seen such a superb Embodiment Duplication Skill. He waved his feather fan and created two doppelgangers before rushing toward one of the black-cloaked man’s doppelganger.

“You’re teaching fish to swim!” the doppelganger of the black-cloaked man roared and threw out a punch. Two black veils of mist immediately dived forward and shattered the two doppelgangers None-flower Dust created.

“Puff!” None-flower Dust spat out a mouthful of blood and seemed to be seriously injured. He was sent flying backward and was caught by Yi Tong, who shouted at him, “None-flower!”

None-flower Dust covered his chest with his hands and spat out another mouthful of blood, which stained his feather fan. Obviously, he was badly injured. Yi Tong gnashed his teeth and helped None-flower Dust rest aside. After that, he ran his True Energy inside his body quickly and hastily recited a spell.

In an instant, his body was shining with dazzling purple light, and his hair fluttered wildly behind his back. His eyes became even more bloodshot, and his power increased several times in a second.

“Ugh!” With the loud shout, Yi Tong seemed to have changed into another person. His body bulged a lot, his eyes became dazzling red, and his arms transformed into two strong claws.

A wild wind blew over the place, and a breathtaking Demon Qi spread around, at which, Yang Qing and others all looked astonished. “Demon, Demon… he is a Demon!”
