Chapter 666: Chapter 667: Demonic Qi Swamp

"Captain, be careful!" Shi Lingling shielded Ye Wudao in front of her and angrily said to Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, it was clearly you who provoked us first. What does this have to do with the captain?"

"Oh, isn’t this the little beauty from the Shi family, Shi Lingling? If you’re willing to be mine, I can spare you!" Chu Feng had a sleazy smile on his face.

"Pah, in your dreams!" Shi Lingling’s face was full of disgust.

"Then don’t blame me for being impolite!" Chu Feng sneered, a seventh-grade peak Battle Emperor’s aura burst forth from his body, causing the faces of Shi Tie and the others to look extremely ugly.

"After all, this guy is the number one genius of the Chu family, his strength is ranked within the top three among all the geniuses of the four great emperor clans!"

"The captain’s in trouble now!"

Chu Feng was extremely fast. He threw a punch, the terrifying noise of the punch resonated all around, air currents violently shaking, carrying the power of thunder.

"Thunder Sound Fist!"

This punch, possessing the power of thunder and the speed of sound, was fast, precise, and ruthless!

Ye Wudao’s gaze was cold as he threw a punch.

"Dragon Prison Fist!"

Boom!

A dull sound of collision was heard. Chu Feng’s fist felt a violent impact, and then half of his hand was shattered, his body staggering backward.

"Ah!" Chu Feng let out a wail, looking at his ruined half hand, his pupils filled with shock!

Such terrifying power!

"The Shi family doesn’t have a person like you, who in the world are you?" Chu Feng stared hard at Ye Wudao.

"You’re not worthy of knowing," Ye Wudao said indifferently.

Chu Feng felt that Ye Wudao’s strength was unfathomable, his gaze shifting, he turned and left!

"Retreat!" Chu Feng said in a low voice.

What?

Retreat!

The five or six geniuses from the Chu family were stunned. They were just about to speak up but were immediately glared at by Chu Feng, "If you don’t want to die, retreat. There’s something very wrong with this guy..."

The geniuses from the Chu family dared not make any noise, silently following behind.

Watching Chu Feng and the others leave, Ye Wudao’s eyes were calm; he had no deep hatred against the Chu family. Since Chu Feng had left, he couldn’t be bothered to chase after him.

In contrast, Shi Tie and the others were excited, "The captain is so formidable!"

"He drove off Chu Feng with just one move!"

Especially Shi Lingling, her pretty face slightly flushed, her heart fluttering like a startled deer.

For some reason, following behind Ye Wudao, she felt an inexplicable sense of safety that day!

Even when facing any dangerous place, it seemed to become very safe with him around!

"Let’s go too," Ye Wudao said.

"Yes!" Shi Tie and the others were excited, utterly looking up to Ye Wudao as their leader.

...

One day later.

After enduring countless hardships, Ye Wudao and his group finally crossed the fiery desert and arrived at a strange area.

"Whew, we finally crossed that damned desert!"

"Lucky we had the captain to slay so many Sand Blood Wolves and collect their blood!"

"Yeah, otherwise we couldn’t have made it here!" Shi Tie, Shi Lingling, and the others had expressions of someone who had survived a calamity.

"Eh, what’s that up ahead?" Shi Fei pointed curiously.

Ye Wudao and the others looked up to see a dark swamp. Beside the swamp were withered trees. Sunlight shining on the trees created mottled streaks of light, casting a reflection on the vast swamp that was eerily blanketed with a thin layer of white fog, mysterious and dangerous.

"That must be the second region of Wanzang Mountain, the Demonic Qi Swamp!" Shi Tie spoke with caution.

"I’ve heard that there are terrifying monsters in the Demonic Qi Swamp that can swallow a seventh-grade Battle Emperor whole in one bite. We’d better be careful!" Shi Lingling warned.

"Heh, who cares about some Demonic Qi Swamp, just listen to the captain!" Shi Fei became Ye Wudao’s unquestioning fan.

Ye Wudao furrowed his brows, sensing something.

"Captain, what’s wrong?" Shi Lingling asked softly.

"There’s a killing intent!" Ye Wudao suddenly said, his eyes sharp.

What?

Upon hearing Ye Wudao’s words, everyone’s faces changed.

Shi Tie, brave and cautious, took steps forward to peer into the distance, visibility severely reduced by the light fog.

After about ten minutes, he suddenly shouted, "Captain, look, there’s someone!"

Ye Wudao and the others immediately went to check.

Lying on the ground were two corpses, dressed in familiar attire, withered yellow and completely drained of color, like mummies!

"Eh, why are these two people wearing our Shi family’s clothes?" Shi Fei walked over, investigated carefully, and said with a shocked expression, "They are people from our Shi family!"

Boom!

The scene exploded into chaos!

"They must have run into people from the demonic sects, sigh," Shi Lingling felt a shock in her heart, her lips tinged with bitterness.

Seeing the death of fellow clan members for the first time, even if they didn’t like these people, was still a strong impact for them!

The experience in Wanzang Mountain was indeed dangerous!

Standing in front of the corpses of the two talented members of the Shi family, Shi Tie and two others stood in silence for a long while before Shi Lingling spoke, "Let’s bury them."

Just then, Ye Wudao suddenly spoke up, "Have you not noticed that someone is missing?"

Shi Po!

Only then did everyone realize that among the two corpses, there was no sign of Shi Po!

"Captain, maybe Shi Po escaped?" suggested Shi Fei.

"That’s right, after all, Shi Po is a peak seventh-grade battle emperor, it’s understandable if he escaped!" Shi Tie nodded.

"It’s not that simple!" Ye Wudao pointed at the necks of the two Shi family disciples and said, "Take a closer look at their wounds!"

Shi Tie crouched down to examine them closely and suddenly said with a shocked look, "There are no signs of a fierce struggle; it looks like a sneak attack from behind, a one-hit kill!"

"The other two as well..." Shi Fei added.

They all started to feel that something was amiss, and Lingling, the leader, said, "Could it be that they were killed by Shi Po? Only Brother Shi Po had the strength to instantly kill two sixth-grade battle emperors!"

Hiss!

Hearing Lingling’s words, both Shi Tie and Shi Fei shuddered inside!

"It can’t be, Brother Shi Po has no reason to attack his own people, does he?" said Shi Fei.

"Yeah!" Shi Tie nodded.

"But what if Shi Po absorbed their cultivations to practice demonic arts? After all, both corpses are emanating Demonic Qi," Ye Wudao suddenly interjected.

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, everyone trembled.

Previously at the Shi household, Madam Shi had mentioned that Shi Po practiced demonic arts in secret!

If that were true, then Shi Po would be a complete disgrace, unspeakably venomous, akin to a demon!

"Even if it wasn’t him, it cannot be unrelated to Shi Po!" Ye Wudao said with an icy gaze, "Shi Po better not have done this; otherwise, I will not let him off!"

Ye Wudao had promised Madam Shi to bring back the geniuses of the Shi family safely!

Although Ye Wudao was indifferent towards these people out of cowardice, he still had to give an account to Madam Shi!

Witnessing the death of two fellow clan members, the mood of Shi Lingling and the others became much heavier, and they continued on their way in silence.

Just then, ahead of them, suddenly appeared five or six corpses, their deaths tragic, all of them drained of their cultivation and turned into mummies!

"Who on earth did this, daring to commit such a heinous act?"

"To cultivate by absorbing the cultivation of others, even in the demonic sects, this is taboo, despised by others!" Shi Lingling and Shi Tie said, shocked.

Meanwhile, in the Demonic Qi Swamp.

On a withered ancient tree, a black-clad man was sitting cross-legged, his eyes tightly shut, surrounded by a towering Demonic Qi!

Swish!

The man suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce light shooting out, it was the missing Shi Po!

Huff!

Shi Po slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, and sneered, "After absorbing the cultivation of that group of trash, my cultivation has finally broken through to an eighth-grade battle emperor!"

Shi Po felt full of power, much stronger than before!

"Ye, now I can easily kill you!" Shi Po revealed a confident smile, thinking of his experiences in the Shi family, where the number one genius had been supplanted by an outsider, his face full of resentment.

"Madam Shi, you didn’t trust me, preferring to choose an outsider as the captain! You were unkind, so don’t blame me for being unrighteous!"

Glancing at the time, Shi Po played with a black flower in his hand and sneered, "Hehe, it’s about time. That brat surnamed Ye should be arriving soon, I’ll send you a big present!"

As he was saying this, Ye Wudao and his group came into Shi Po’s line of sight.

"Eh, why are there so many black flowers on the ground?" Shi Tie looked down.

There were at least hundreds of black flowers laid out on the ground, emitting a strange, enchanting fragrance.

"It smells so good!" Shi Lingling picked one up and sniffed it gently, unable to help herself.

Only Ye Wudao’s expression suddenly sharpened, "No good, these are Black Soul Flowers, they have the effect of luring beasts. So many Black Soul Flowers will definitely attract a terrifying demon beast!"

What?

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!
