Chapter 816: Chapter 817: Wolf Corpse Puppet

"Young Master..." Zhao Qingtian and the others were pale-faced. "If we don’t leave now, it will be too late!"

"Retreat!" Ye Wudao responded. "I won’t leave!"

"What?" Zhao Qingtian and the others were about to stay when Ye Wudao angrily shouted, "All of you, leave! If the True Pill Realm late-stage elder loses his temper, I won’t be able to protect you!"

Exchanging glances, Zhao Qingtian and the others hated themselves for their lack of strength, unable to assist Ye Wudao. Gritting their teeth, they declared, "Follow the Young Master’s orders and withdraw!"

"Young Master, forgive us!"

Yan Donglai and Dugu Zhan wept on the spot, then turned and departed.

Seeing this, Dongfang Xiao roared, "Stop them! Not a single Kunlun disciple is allowed to leave!"

"Kill!"

Numerous members of the Dongfang family charged toward Zhao Qingtian with hostile glares!

Ye Wudao witnessed the scene and swung his blade decisively.

Swish!

A terrifying black blade arc swept across the air.

Several dozen members of the Dongfang family spat blood and collapsed to the ground.

"My brothers are leaving. Whoever dares to stop them, dies!" Ye Wudao thundered.

"You!" Dongfang Xiao raged and prepared to attack himself, but Master Skeletal stopped him.

"Enough, Dongfang Xiao. You’re already a True Pill Realm mid-stage cultivator. Why can’t you hold your composure? Let those battle saint-level ants leave. Even after decades, they won’t cause any trouble!" Master Skeletal admonished.

Dongfang Xiao immediately nodded and fawned, "Heh heh, Master Skeletal’s wisdom is unmatched..."

Ye Wudao watched Zhao Qingtian and the others leave, letting out a sigh of relief!

Hah!

With his brothers gone, his mind was free of distractions!

"Ye Wudao, I’ll give you one last chance to live! Surrender to my Heavenly Corpse Sect, and I promise you’ll see your mother and your fiancée!" Master Skeletal said.

"I, Ye Wudao, live as a man of Kunlun, die as a ghost of Kunlun!" Ye Wudao refused without hesitation.

"Heh heh, loyalty is worthless when stacked against your future!" Master Skeletal shook his head, his eyes flashing with cold light as an ominous wind stirred.

The next moment, Master Skeletal vanished from the spot.

So fast!

Ye Wudao only caught a flash of black in front of him, unable to see anything else clearly.

Bang!

Master Skeletal’s palm landed heavily on Ye Wudao’s stomach.

Pfft!

Ye Wudao spat blood and staggered, collapsing to the ground.

"Master Skeletal, such power! That must be your signature move, the Corpse Poison Palm, right?" Dongfang Xiao flattered.

"Oh? You actually recognize the Corpse Poison Palm?" Master Skeletal said in surprise.

"Of course! I’ve long admired you, Master Skeletal. I’ve heard your Corpse Poison Palm is terrifyingly powerful; even True Pill Realm mid-stage cultivators, once struck, will first lose strength, then cough up blood. Within three days, the poison activates, and they die bleeding from seven orifices!" Dongfang Xiao replied obsequiously.

"Hahaha, correct!" Master Skeletal, pleased with Dongfang Xiao’s flattery, chuckled.

However, the next moment wiped the smile off Master Skeletal’s face.

Ye Wudao stood up, his abdominal wound visibly healing at an astonishing rate.

"Master Skeletal, why is this brat standing up?" Dongfang Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.

"This lad possesses incredible regenerative power and a strong body. He must have consumed countless rare treasures, possibly even refined dragon blood, to achieve such physical prowess!" Master Skeletal analyzed, his gaze gleaming greedily. "Kid, if I refine you, I too can achieve a body as remarkable as yours!"

"Old bastard, you’re dreaming!" Ye Wudao sneered.

Though he couldn’t match Master Skeletal, his robust body and fearsome regenerative abilities gave him an edge!

Facing off against a True Pill Realm late-stage cultivator for the first time, Ye Wudao prepared himself for a battle of endurance!

"With my current power, I estimate a ten percent chance of winning!" Ye Wudao thought with a resolve to die. "Even with only a ten percent chance, I must fight for my mother and Yueli!"

"Kid, the difference in our strength is too vast. Your chances of victory are just one percent!"

"Even if my odds are zero, I will not retreat!" Ye Wudao retorted.

"Stubborn fool!" Master Skeletal sneered, stomping the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked rapidly, as if an earthquake struck!

Master Skeletal’s figure flashed as he leapt into the air, his claw swooping down with ghostly precision toward Ye Wudao.

"Corpse Ghost Claw!"

Pfft!

Pfft-pfft!

Ye Wudao was struck all over his body, blood pouring out.

"Kid, admit defeat! I am a True Pill Realm late-stage cultivator. You cannot possibly defeat me!" Master Skeletal boasted confidently, and rightly so; he had earned his arrogance.

As a True Pill Realm late-stage cultivator!

Nearly invincible in the True Pill Realm!

"I, Ye Wudao, have suffered pain and fear in this life, but never once have I surrendered!" Ye Wudao roared. "Devil’s Pupil, Slaughter Battle Body, activate!"

Boom!

Ye Wudao’s aura surged twentyfold!

"Interesting. He can amplify his power twentyfold!" Master Skeletal’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Hiss, this brat wasn’t even using his full power in our earlier fight. He’s been holding back the entire time!" Dongfang Xiao shivered, growing increasingly regretful of his allegiance to the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

If it hadn’t been for the sect’s intervention, Dongfang Xiao realized he might have perished alongside the rest of the Dongfang family!

"Treading Heaven Technique!"

Ye Wudao shouted, his feet stomping rapidly on the ground!

Ten steps!

Fifteen steps!

Sixteen steps!

With sixteen consecutive steps, Ye Wudao’s strength peaked, combining the powers of the Devil’s Pupil and Slaughter Battle Body for a terrifying thirty-sixfold boost!

"Thirty-six times strength..." At this, Master Skeletal’s expression grew solemn, no longer daring to underestimate Ye Wudao.

Nearby, Dongfang Xiao cowered in the corner, trembling at Ye Wudao’s display of power, his legs turning to jelly!

"What a monster!"

Facing the current Ye Wudao, Dongfang Xiao knew he wouldn’t last even a single move!

"Heavenly Corpse Sect, return my mother and fiancée!" Ye Wudao roared, his blade accompanied by a murderous aura like a crimson sea, slashing ferociously toward Master Skeletal.

Master Skeletal didn’t dare take this lightly. He immediately formed hand seals and began chanting, "Wolf Corpse Puppet!"

The black coffin behind him creaked open as a massive black wolf puppet emerged. Its blood-red eyes and True Pill Realm late-stage aura abruptly blocked Ye Wudao’s path!

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed.

The Wolf Corpse Puppet stood untouched!
