574 Nowhere To Bite (1/2)

”Human Puppet Spell! Now!”

Right next to the river, Gu Ping suddenly stopped his body, his hands dancing in the air like butterflies as he formed his spell. Suddenly, a wave of invisible power spread out with him as the center. It was a very aggressive power, but somehow, it did not bring up any pattern on the surface of the water.

Wooo!

Under the surface, a blurry human shadow had been blown out. It could not help but get sucked toward where Gu Ping was.

”This is the Shadowless Demon…I see! So creepy looking!”

The top warriors that were accompanying Gu Ping suddenly felt a chill run down their spines as they could not help but take two steps back.

”Don't be afraid! It cannot do anything while I am here.” Gu Ping laughed brightly. The martial art he had gotten from those ruins was indeed a forbidden martial art of the puppet martial school, the Puppet Spell. It was different from the normal puppet art which used dead objects. Instead, it used living beings, which made it even more horrible. It was indeed the reason that the martial school had been destroyed completely.

”Huh? It's wounded!”

Gu Ping thought before that the process of training shadowless Demon would not be that simple, since he had never done that before. But, it actually went extremely well; he could tell that it was very weak at the moment, as if it had been wounded just now.

”Shadowless Puppet, done!”

After the formation of the spell, Gu Ping extended his left hand's five fingers and formed into a fist immediately. All of a sudden, the blurry human shadow shrank into a pile and appeared in his hand.

When he opened his left hand again, there was nothing there anymore, only a blurred ghost shaped mark that continued to twist and move.

”Haha, it is finished! I cannot believe it was that easy!”

After successfully creating a shadowless puppet, Gu Ping was full of confidence. He could already see countless powerful undead soldiers following behind him, fighting for him.

”The Human Puppet Spell from the Puppet Martial School? That little brat is quite lucky as he actually got his hands on such a valuable thing. Unfortunately, it will not be that easy to train after all. If it were not for the fact that I had let go of my control over my Demon will formation, it would have turned him into a braindead idiot.”

In the deep end of the underground world, a cold voice was heard.

”Let's go! There should be more Shadowless Demons down there.”

Gu Ping led the way proudly as all of the extreme Yin qi was absorbed by him into the mark on his palm.

…

”Yeah, there is also one here, and it is not the one from before!”

With his slaughter sword intent protecting his body, he sliced an incoming blurry human shadow into dozens of pieces.

”What! Slaughter sword intent!”

A shocked cry was heard again from the deep end of the underground world, seeming to be reacting to Ye Chen's movements.

”Huh! My Demon spirit is at peal level rank 7, so those Demon will projections should be at least rank 5. I will see how much you could take on at once. Frankly, if you were a Life and Death Realm warrior, I might actually be afraid and reconsider whether it would be a waste to try. But, you are only at the Sea of Souls Realm. Even if you have the fitting sword intent power, your control over your sword intent is just not there yet. Let's go! Let's steal his body!”

Soon, the world went back to dead silence.

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

An invisible vibration pattern spread out in the area while countless blurry human shadows shot out of the river toward Ye Chen. His protective Zhen yuan layer suddenly looked like a decoration.

”Kill!”

His slaughter sword spirit shook within his soul ocean as the sword intent spread out circle after circle, with Ye Chen being the center. Not a single human shadow managed to get close; all of them seemed to lose their life force and sink into the river.

”Come back!”

A voice came from the bottom of the ground again, with which, those wounded human shadows were retrieved to where they came from. In the next second, more blurry human shadows appeared and entered the battle.

”So many!” Ye Chen's expression changed slightly.

”Destruction sword intent...Now!”

The second he used his destruction sword spirit, the second wave of his attack appeared. Meanwhile, he infused his destruction intent into the sword intent from his second sword spirit. As a result, a destruction sword intent with a slightly weaker power but more horrifying qi was generated.

Combined with the slaughter sword intent, it looked like a tornado, spreading in all directions. Those blurry human shadows had been cut into pieces first before being wiped clear by the destruction sword intent. Those human shadows had been dissolved completely, and there was no chance of recovering them anymore.

”Damn! This destruction sword intent is even more horrifying than the slaughter sword intent! Where did he learn it?”

”No! This is obviously not working. If my Demon will formation continues to be destroyed like this, it will damage my Demon spirit severely. I will fight for the second group of those bodies first.”

The being that was at the bottom of the underground seemed to be afraid of that destruction sword intent. Although the slaughter sword intent could destroy his Demon will as well, but in a one-on-one situation, the destruction sword intent would have a bigger impact for sure.

At the same time, all of the blurry human shadows jumped into the river, swimming upward quickly.

”They are leaving?”

Ye Chen frowned. He had just figured out why Zuo Qiu and Li Qignxiang could not handle even one Shadowless Demon. First of all, the two's martial spirit was only rank 4. Although his was also only at peak level rank 4, its power would be at least at peak level rank 5, so it was at least one and a half levels higher than the two. Secondly, his martial will was even more stable and balanced than his sword intent. His speed, defense, and attack had been enhanced. But, inside this underground crack, a slight enhancement meant mediocrity; if one's mental attacking power were not powerful enough, it would be impossible to wound the Shadowless Demon. Although the mental defense would have been increased, one would eventually be tired at some point, and that would be the moment those Shadowless Demons would crawl in and wound them.

However, Ye Chen's sword intent could destroy the Shadowless Demon instantly, even if there were many of them. As for mental defense, Ye Chen would not need it at all; before those Shadowless Demons managed to get close, his sword intent would be alerted already and start to protect him automatically.
