"Whoosh!~"
"Screech!~"
This time, Ye Feng's attack was a bit heavier, severing an arm of the Dark Shadow Puppet, which let out an even more piercing shriek than before.
Almost at the same time, Xue Er on the distant rooftop also spat out a mouthful of blood.
"So it's like this!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng's heart settled.
Just as Qiao Ying had said, Xue Er and the Dark Shadow Puppet he had somehow conjured shared a symbiotic relationship. Harming the puppet also harmed Xue Er!
"Ye... Ye Feng, you... you..."
Qiao Ying stared at the Dark Shadow Puppet trapped in the cage, her face full of disbelief. "This... this is the legendary Sky Prison Formation... you... you actually mastered it?"
"No... not only that... you... you can even injure the Dark Shadow Puppet..."
Qiao Ying was stunned.
"Ye... Ye Feng, how did you do it?"
"This Dark Shadow Puppet... it's the origin of this world's survival law, 'Embrace the Fire with Light'..."
Yue Miao was also incredibly surprised, goosebumps rising all over his body.
He had indeed thought highly of Ye Feng... but he never expected Ye Feng to be able to deal with the Dark Shadow Puppet.
...
On the distant rooftop,
"Hey, hey, who is that kid? How did he trap the Dark Shadow Puppet with a formation?"
"That formation... is no simple matter. It doesn't seem to be an arcane formation..."
"Indeed. Not only did that kid trap the Dark Shadow Puppet, but the blade he holds is also extraordinary... True Qi can't harm the Dark Shadow Puppet..."
"Damn it."
"Ye Feng, the rune medium you used to form the Sky Prison Formation isn't good enough. This Dark Shadow Puppet is about to tear through the cage and escape!"
At this moment, Qiao Ying spoke to Ye Feng, her tone somewhat anxious.
"Rune medium?"
Ye Feng turned his head, looking at Qiao Ying with some confusion.
"Yes!"
Qiao Ying nodded. "The power of the Sky Prison Formation is limited by its rune medium. Gold elemental arcane origin stones emit a golden light, ice elemental arcane origin stones emit an icy blue light. Others have fire, green, some can directly become a mud house, and some are lightning..."
"Usually, the Sky Prison Formation is set up with lightning elemental arcane origin stones because lightning has the highest power... to ensure that the Dark Shadow Puppet can be trapped!"
"Of course, having Primordial Stones is the best, but those are very rare!"
Qiao Ying spoke at a rapid pace, her expression extremely anxious, as she saw that Ye Feng seemed unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
"Primordial Stone?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was quite surprised. His consciousness swept over a stone that was flowing with a halo, which was precisely the Primordial Stone given to him by Yue Fei Xue.
"Xiao Xiao, can I borrow that Royal Decree blade later?"
"This Dark Shadow Puppet is extremely dangerous. Without the Angel's Blade, I can't deal with it at all!"
Saying this, Qiao Ying also moved closer to Xiao Xiao, her eyes warily fixed on the Dark Shadow Puppet that was still gnawing at the Sky Prison Formation.
"Sister Qiao Ying, you don't need to worry, big brother will handle it!"
Xiao Xiao, who had personally witnessed Ye Feng kill the Dark Shadow Puppet, wasn't too worried.
"Whoosh~ Screech!"
"Gah!~ Gurgle~ Hiss!"
At this moment, Ye Feng's Tang blade moved faster. The Dark Shadow Puppet was repeatedly struck, letting out continuous screams.
Moreover, Ye Feng's Tang blade was increasingly aimed at the Dark Shadow Puppet's vital points, its head, forcing the puppet to retreat and dodge.
"Attack!"
"We can't let that kid kill the Dark Shadow Puppet!"
At this moment, Xue Er on the rooftop roared. Xue San, Xue Si, Xue Jiu from the rooftop, and Xue Lu and Xue Ba, who had recovered in the courtyard, all drew their weapons, intending to pounce on Ye Feng and the others.
Seeing this, Ye Feng felt very pleased. He had trapped the Dark Shadow Puppet here and hadn't killed it, waiting precisely for this moment!
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Xue Yi, who had been hovering in the sky above the courtyard, spoke. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ye Feng. "Do you know how Xue Wu died just now? That kid is strange."
Upon hearing this, all the Blood Guards stopped in their tracks. Xue Lu and Xue Ba in the courtyard even retreated a few steps.
"Damn it."
Seeing this, Ye Feng felt a surge of frustration. He had intended to take advantage of the moment when those Blood Guards charged forward to kill a few by surprise...
"Clang~ Bang~ Crack!~"
At this moment, several ice elemental arcane origin stones that formed the Sky Prison Formation exploded, and the Dark Shadow Puppet seized the opportunity to break free.
"Ye Feng, be careful!"
Qiao Ying instantly cried out in alarm, as Ye Feng was facing away from the Dark Shadow Puppet, and the puppet's first move upon breaking free was to claw at Ye Feng's back.
Before Qiao Ying's words could finish, Ye Feng had already acted. He gripped his Tang blade, its True Qi light flashing, and with a flicker, he instantly appeared beside the Dark Shadow Puppet, his blade striking its head directly.
"Whoosh~ Screech!"
"Sizzle! Hiss! Gah!~"
The Dark Shadow Puppet's mouth let out a series of somewhat hurried screams. The drifting black mist instantly stopped and then emitted a "sizzling" sound, slowly dissipating...
"Puff!~"
At this moment, Xue Er on the rooftop spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body went soft, and he almost fell from the rooftop, but he was supported by a Blood Clan elder.
"Ye Feng, you!"
Qiao Ying swallowed and looked at him in astonishment.
Although Xiao Xiao had said earlier that Ye Feng would handle it, she hadn't expected Ye Feng to kill the Dark Shadow Puppet instantly.
Moreover, the few slashes Ye Feng had used to kill the Dark Shadow Puppet, while looking the same as before, gave her a heart-pounding sense of dread!
"Xue Lu, Xue Ba, Sinless Barrier!"
At this moment, Xue Yi roared, quickly forming a series of complex hand seals. Eerie red runes surged from his body and rapidly spread outwards...
