Chapter 1095: Do You Have Some More?

Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins

Hundreds of thousands of demonic insects and venomous animals lay on the ground like thick gray mats. They covered ten square miles of this area. At first glance, they gave people a head-splitting headache.

The demonic insects and animals could nibble people's souls!

Sha Zhao furrowed his brows, his face dark and hard to probe. His inky black eyes had something flicker like an ignis fatuus, which gave him a malicious look.

He didn't attack Shi Yan immediately.

Warriors from the Gu God Sect had a unique technique to sense the realm and power of the enemies. They could guess their opponent's powers and realms through observing Blood Qi, mental status, or even how pink their faces were. They could guess precisely the energy and realm of their opponents.

Sha Zhao understood clearly that the realm wasn't the only criteria to assess someone's overall competence.

Taking himself as an example, although he had only Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, he believed that he could subdue or even kill First Sky of Incipient God Realm expert.

He knew that Shang Ying Yue who had just left was also this sort of warrior. As he grasped her profile, he let her go easily.

Sha Zhao squinted, his eyes drilling in Shi Yan. Something like invisible soul threads flew out of his eyes and covered Shi Yan like a net made of seaweed. They were trying to explore Shi Yan...

Shang Ying Yue didn't actually leave this site.

She had used a secret treasure that Shang Chen had given her to make her invisible. She hovered like a faint gray smoke and waited silently by the edge of the insect mass. Her Blood Qi and soul energy fluctuation were also concealed so that even demonic insects with their great sensibility couldn't find her.

Shang Ying Yue's eyelashes shivered. She looked at the two men standing in the middle of the toxic insect formation and waited for something.

After a while, she was surprised that she couldn't explain the situation.

Sha Zhao was standing with his venomous animals and laughing oddly, "You're joking, right? We come to this ancient continent for our own purposes. We won't fight if it's not necessary. It's no use to anybody and brings no benefit. Okay, let's deal with it this way. I will force the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan out of the swamp and confine it. You will use your heaven flame to refine it. We will share the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread equally. What do you think?"

Shang Ying Yue was startled, her face odd. She was so skeptical looking at the two of them.

Sha Zhao was the strongest warrior at Incipient God Realm of the Gu God Sect. As he could take the Guiding Fruit to access this ancient continent, it spoke up the fact that the Gu God Sect has trusted him a lot.

Shang Ying Yue had heard about how terrifying Sha Zhao was from her mother. Thus, even though she had come here for the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan, she had proactively avoided Sha Zhao to prevent causing any conflict with him.

Although they were both at Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, Shang Ying Yue wasn't confident that she could defeat Sha Zhao in a fight to the death against him. Thus, she chose to leave.

However, Shi Yan had only First Sky of Ethereal God Realm. Since Sha Zhao was strong enough to shoo her away, why was he so friendly to this low warrior?

Was he really powerful?

Shang Ying Yue had a lot of questions, but she couldn't find an answer. However, when she looked at Shi Yan now, she had changed her attitude. She told herself to be more cautious.

Of course, she didn't know what Sha Zhao had seen with the secret technique of the Gu God Sect.

This particular technique of the Gu God Sect was called "Blood Peeping Divine Technique," which could use the Soul Consciousness, Blood Qi, and people's appearances to assess the body's integrity and the profound level of their souls. This technique was famous for its accuracy in this universe. It was also one of the most exquisite techniques of the Gu God Sect.

Using the Blood Peeping Divine Technique, Sha Zhao had observed Shi Yan's blood Qi, his lean muscles, his heartbeat, and the strange missing soul to make a terrifying final conclusion: His body was like a refined crystal or metal that had been quenched many times. His Soul Consciousness was as refined as a blood vein!"

This was the level that a normal Incipient God Realm couldn't compare to!

How could a warrior at First Sky of Ethereal God Realm reach such a level of body integrity and mentality? How could Sha Zhao dare to look down on him?

Especially right at the beginning, Shi Yan didn't appear to be fearful. He provoked the other first. This made Sha Zhao more cautious and he had made up his mind almost instantly. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't fight that young man.

As Shang Ying Yue didn't know that Sha Zhao had used an exclusive technique of the Gu God Sect to check Shi Yan, she didn't understand the situation.

"Share the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread?" Shi Yan chuckled and glanced at the deep place in the muddy pond. He talked naturally, "Can. Then we can work as you've suggested. You will force the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan out of its dwelling and then I will refine it. Yeah, do it. I'm eager to see the secret techniques of your Gu God Sect."

"No problem. Little buddy, wait for me. Let me handle it first." Sha Zhao laughed loudly. A short flute, which had a lot of holes like stars slid out of his dark sleeve. This flute had a snake-skin pattern, making it look archaic and exquisite.

"Whistle! Hoooooooooo!"

Sha Zhao squinted and blew the flute. It then sounded like someone whining and crying, releasing ghosts into this world.

Under his low-pitched, gloomy melody, the ambiance began to cool down. It felt like departed spirits were wandering around with an icy aura and intruding people's Sea of Consciousness.

Shi Yan's indifferent eyes flashed with an icy light.

Shang Ying Yue who was still hiding in the dark also changed her face. She hurried to quiet her mind and urge her power.

In Shi Yan's and Shang Ying Yue's Sea of Consciousness, many toxic insects and venomous animals suddenly appeared!

They seemed to be formed by the Soul Consciousness or real souls of those demonic insects and animals. When the old man blew the flute, they got into the other two's Sea of Consciousness easily and then began to move around.

"Little buddy, be careful. When I play the Demonic Sound Flute, our little friends won't stay idle, but they won't purposely aim at you." Sha Zhao said, his voice hoarse and rough. Although he was smiling, there was a wicked intent that people couldn't see deep in his eyes.

Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue frowned. They knew that even Sha Zhao was being too friendly and he knew how strong Shi Yan was. He didn't want to let Shi Yan go unharmed. Besides luring the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan, he had used the Demonic Sound Flute to control demonic insects and venomous animals to probe Shi Yan's ability. He wanted to test if Shi Yan was as strong as he had estimated.

Shi Yan understood it clearly. If he showed that he couldn't bear this attack, Sha Zhao's bloody treatment for him would swarm over immediately and leave him no chance to run away.

In his Sea of Consciousness, countless demonic insects were floating and baring their fangs and claws. All of a sudden, they streamed towards Shi Yan's soul altar.

Those tiny, ferocious creatures wanted to nibble at his soul altar and then swallow his soul.

Shi Yan was so frightened.

He couldn't imagine how evil the Gu God Sect's technique could be. Those little things in his Sea of Consciousness were just wisps of a soul, but they were more terrifying than real bugs. They could gnaw his soul altar! This kind of witchcraft had him aghast at this moment.

He had never experienced anything like this. Shi Yan felt a little clumsy and annoyed.

Sha Zhao could connect his soul with those insects and animals. Each of them was his eyes and ears, so he could actually get into Shi Yan's soul. He could also feel what Shi Yan felt. He knew that Shi Yan didn't have any solution to this situation.

Sha Zhao smiled faintly. He was so proud of the venomous worm witchcraft of his sect.

That year... one of the God Clan experts was killed by this technique. The toxic insects had bitten his soul altar to death. Today, even though this kid was extremely powerful, how could he withstand the "Soul Eating Heaven Venomous Worm" of the Gu God Sect?

The smile on Sha Zhao's face went from concealed to exposed. He looked delighted.

After the demonic insects and toxic animals chewed off the soul, they would evolve and transform. The more refined the soul was, the better the benefits that his bugs could have.

Sha Zhao pictured those beautiful little things after they evolved...

Shang Ying Yue wasn't Sha Zhao's target. He sent some dormant bugs to her as a warning for her to not act rashly.

Sha Zhao didn't believe what Shang Ying Yue had told him. He thought that Shang Ying Yue and Shi Yan wanted to refine the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan. He believed no one in order to prevent unexpected events.

Once Shang Ying Yue showed that she wanted to rescue Shi Yan, those idle insects would take action and give Shang Ying Yue no extra time or power to help the other.

When Sha Zhao did something, he was always meticulous with backup plans.

A cloud of demonic insects and toxic animal swarmed over and flooded the tier of Power Upanishad in Shi Yan's soul altar. Those tiny bugs buzzed loudly and gave Shi Yan a head-splitting headache. He couldn't gather his thoughts when his Sea of Consciousness was turbulent.

Seeing the toxic bugs and animals approach the tier of powers Upanishad, a freezing energy emerged. An inky black bead that had always stayed in Shi Yan's Ethereal Extent floated up. Just like a strange, evil eye, it fell into the tier of Power Upanishads. It was the Poison-dipped Cold Bead!

The Poison-dipped Cold Bead was condensed from the soul of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish. It could swallow extremely toxic things. With the coldness, it could cool down the soul and prevent the warrior from falling into bedevilment.

The Poison-dipped Cold Bead slowly emerged. Black light rings rippled like water waves.

The demonic insects and toxic animal entering his Sea of Consciousness screeched in fright. They immediately scattered and tried to avoid the bead. However, those black light rings had covered them all. No matter how hard they'd tried to wiggle, they couldn't fly out of Shi Yan's brain.

Sha Zhao's face paled. The melody he was playing became more unpleasant and shrill. The mass of toxic bugs under his feet buzzed angrily.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Each of the insects covered by the Poison-dipped Cold Bead's black light in Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness turned into a wisp of gray smoke after being drawn into the Poison-dipped Cold Bead.

Within seconds, all of the venomous little things that had intruded Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness were swallowed.

Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness resumed its state. Shrinking his pupils, Shi Yan smiled strangely. He parted his lips to give Sha Zhao a compliment. "It tastes good. Should be a good tonic for me though. Thanks for your generous gift."

Pausing for a while, he smiled happily, "Do you still have some?"

Sha Zhao was bewildered. After a while, he felt so ashamed and said, "I'm terribly sorry. Whenever I play the flute, some of those hot-tempered little buddies can't be controlled. It was just a mistake. Please forgive me."

Sha Zhao clasped his hands to apologize, his manner sincere and conscience-stricken. It made Shang Ying Yue more astounded as she didn't understand the entire picture of it.
