Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Man and Artifact Integration! Half-step Sovereign!

Xiao Zhan’s perception locked onto this person at the first instance; shrouded in Death Aura, he immediately felt like a target hunted by an eagle, feeling the chilling danger like thorns on his back.

"Who is this guy? Why do I sense something familiar about him?"

Xiao Zhan pondered this question in his mind.

From the way this man attacked him, it didn’t seem like a conflict of stance, but rather, it felt like there was a deep-seated hatred.

His moves were ruthless, intending to kill while simultaneously expressing a desire for vengeful retaliation!

Yet, Xiao Zhan was sure, he had never met him before.

"Be careful, he’s caught up to us!"

Ye Youlong urgently warned.

As soon as the words fell, the robed figure appeared on the edge of the Death Aura’s reach.

However, he did not recklessly dive into the Death Aura; its characteristics obviously posed some difficulty for him!

Yet, beneath his dark robe, a pair of sinister gleaming eyes flickered!

The iron chains in his hands swung with a clash, the sound of metal striking rang out, and the limp chains suddenly tensed as if inflated, coiling and twisting as he maneuvered them, like a black snake entering the Death Aura.

Xiao Zhan instantly felt a fierce aura approaching, but it wasn’t solely directed at him, it aimed at the entire mass of Death Aura!

Once the chain entered the Death Aura, the robed figure continued to harness the Spirit Manipulation Energy, stirring the chains within the Death Aura as if in a tumbling washing machine.

The formidable power unleashed with the stirring of the chains, the surrounding dense Death Aura was immediately impacted, starting to surge and dissipate, wrapping tightly around the chains, sucking out the dense Death Aura like an extractor fan, stones from the ground were also shattered and carried along.

In no time, the mass of Death Aura swiftly cleared up.

Inside, Xiao Zhan sensed this abnormality and reacted instantly, shifting his figure and swiftly running out of the Death Aura.

Looking back, Xiao Zhan felt a chilling aftershock; the power of a Sixth Grade Spirit Master was indeed terrifying, just a casual operation of his Spirit Manipulation Energy broke his Spirit Manipulation Technique.

He dared not be careless, speedily using his fastest speed along with Ye Ajian to flee.

But his speed was no match for a Sixth Grade Spirit Master, and so, they were quickly caught up again.

"Put me down, brother-in-law. You can’t outrun him with me."

Ye Ajian felt like a burden.

Xiao Zhan scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Even without you, I can’t outrun him."

"Uh..."

Ye Ajian, initially worried, suddenly felt an inexplicable relief.

Brother-in-law, I know you’re honest, but admitting you’re inferior so generously isn’t really great, is it?

Meanwhile, Ye Wudi and Huang Yuan were already clashing; although Huang Yuan was also a Sixth Grade, he was no match for Ye Wudi, who had immersed himself in the Sixth Grade Realm for years.

However, he was cunning, fully aware that he couldn’t win against Ye Wudi in this battle, his strategy was to delay; so long as the Third Army perished, Ye Wudi would be worn down to death.

For Ye Wudi, the key to achieving victory was himself.

Thus, although his demeanor seemed fierce, his actual moves were extremely cautious, he even repeatedly used his soldiers as cannon fodder, to drain Ye Wudi’s Spirit Manipulation Energy.

Ye Wudi found himself suddenly engulfed in an encompassing siege.

However, in this tight encirclement, he still managed to assess the situation on Xiao Zhan’s side and discovered that the cloaked figure was a Sixth Grade expert!

He was somewhat taken aback.

He didn’t expect that Huang Yuan could actually enlist a Sixth Grade expert.

Who was this Sixth Grade expert?

From the aura emanating from him, Ye Wudi was sure that he did not recognize him.

You should know, all Sixth Grade Spirit Masters and Artifact Spirits are registered in the Federation’s database, and there are not many Sixth Grade Spirit Masters within the Federation, most of them know each other.

Ye Wudi did not recognize this cloaked person, which meant there was only one possibility; he belonged to some clandestine organization.

The reason for such certainty that it was an organization rather than an individual cultivator was straightforward; in a situation where all resources were monopolized by the Federation, it was a fool’s dream for a Loose Cultivator to achieve the Sixth Grade.

At the same time, Ye Wudi also realized that this military coup initiated by Huang Yuan was not just a simple power struggle, but also involved other complex factors.

But he couldn’t afford to think too much at the moment; Xiao Zhan was no match for a Sixth Grade Spirit Master. If caught by this cloaked man, he would be in great danger!

Immediately, he cleaved through the cannon fodder in front of him, then turned and chased after the cloaked figure.

Seeing him suddenly change direction, Huang Yuan understood his intention, and immediately sent more troops to block him, but these soldiers were no match for Ye Wudi, unable to hold him back even for a second.

Caught in a bind, Huang Yuan had no choice but to swing his own claws towards Ye Wudi.

But just as he was closing in on Ye Wudi, suddenly, Ye Wudi turned around, his eyes sparking with brilliance, and his hand clutching the Azure Water Cold Light Sword trembled, sending a lightning-fast strike towards him!

Huang Yuan was shocked!

Terror flashed in his eyes, as he instantly realized that he had fallen into Ye Wudi’s trap.

Engaging him directly wasn’t working, so Ye Wudi had shifted to rescue Xiao Zhan, prompting him to intervene, thus allowing Ye Wudi to launch a counterattack!

"Ye Wudi, are you not going to save your son?"

Experiencing the sharp sword of Ye Wudi, terror flickered in Huang Yuan’s eyes as he shouted at Ye Wudi!

Upon hearing this, a flicker of hesitation passed through Ye Wudi’s eyes, but it was just a moment before it vanished, replaced by a resolute expression covering his gaze.

Having made up his mind, he would not hesitate.

Hesitation only led to defeat!

Then, the momentum of the attack intensified. Stabbing towards Huang Yuan, his Azure Water Cold Light Sword under the drive of Spirit Manipulation Energy, unleashed a blinding light, dispersing and resembling a flowing radiance, climbing up Ye Wudi’s hand.

And through his hand, it streamed across and enveloped Ye Wudi’s entire body.

In that moment, Ye Wudi seemed to turn into light!

What followed was a bizarre scene.

Wrapped in this flowing light, Ye Wudi’s body began to shrink and elongate; following the flow of the light, he ultimately merged with the radiance, literally transforming into a beam of light.

But that wasn’t all, the beam adhered itself to the Azure Water Cold Light Sword, instantly amplifying its momentum, emitting an unmatched formidable energy akin to nitrogen-accelerated jet streams.

Wherever it passed, it flipped over a slew of soldiers, and within a hundred meters radius of the sword, a literal vacuum zone was cleared!

This scene stunned Huang Yuan!
