The next second, the withered bones moved, wriggling and crawling up from the ground, and attacked Ye Kunlun.
"A mere trick!"
Ye Kunlun snorted coldly, his powerful aura shattering the charging skeleton into pieces!
Swish, swish, swish—
Several shadows appeared from all directions, attacking Ye Kunlun simultaneously.
A flash of green light flickered in Ye Kunlun's hand. Chi Long appeared, transforming into a green stream of light, and rapidly slashed towards the charging figures!
"To think you'd try to deal with me using these puppets, you underestimate me too much!"
Ye Kunlun's fingers moved nimbly, and Chi Long followed his movements, shooting towards a certain direction within the illusion formation!
Puff—
A spray of blood erupted, and Wu Lu's figure tumbled out from the side, half his body buried in the barren ground.
He glared at Ye Kunlun, "How did you find me?"
"Such a low-level illusion formation is nothing but trash in my eyes." Ye Kunlun flicked his finger, and Chi Long returned to his hand.
"Answer a few questions for me, and I can give you a quicker death!" Ye Kunlun's aura sealed Wu Lu's escape route.
"You won't get anything from me. I was merely instructed by the Witch God to capture Wu Jiuming and his siblings!"
Wu Lu did not fear death at Ye Kunlun's words, "Kill me if you want. The Witch God will avenge me!"
While Wu Lu said this, he secretly gathered his strength for a fatal blow against Ye Kunlun.
"This sword in my hand likes to devour people."
Ye Kunlun looked indifferently at Wu Lu who was secretly gathering strength, "I've already given you a chance."
With that, Chi Long instantly appeared before Wu Lu, severing his left arm.
A bizarre scene unfolded. Chi Long, despite being a sword, acted like a monster, opening its maw and devouring Wu Lu's arm.
Upon witnessing this, Wu Lu finally lost his composure, fear flashing in his eyes.
"You have two more chances."
A cold smile appeared on Ye Kunlun's indifferent face, "My patience is limited."
"I truly know nothing about the Witch God, but I can tell you something else!"
Wu Lu showed a flicker of will to survive.
"You are not in a position to bargain with me." Ye Kunlun walked towards Wu Lu. As long as he willed it, Wu Lu would become a corpse in the next second.
Wu Lu shivered and replied with a forced resolve, "The Witch God is one of the Three Gods, and has not truly awakened."
"Three Gods? Three God Sect?"
Ye Kunlun's gaze sharpened. He had finally heard extremely important information from Wu Lu.
"I know nothing else. I only learned this by chance from my father!"
Wu Lu lowered his head slightly, his face appearing somewhat pale, yet his eyes held a cryptic expression, as if deep in thought.
Ye Kunlun asked sternly, "So, ten years ago, it was the Witch God who ordered Zhou Lie to hunt down our family of four in Qingcheng, wanting to obtain something?"
Wu Lu shook his head, "I know nothing about other matters, truly nothing!"
A green light flashed again, and Chi Long directly devoured Wu Lu's other arm.
"Argh!!"
Wu Lu trembled all over, letting out a painful roar. He stared fiercely at Ye Kunlun, "Kill me. The Witch God will not let you go."
Ye Kunlun sneered, "What you just said is three parts truth and seven parts lies. Do you take me for a three-year-old?"
Wu Lu spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned, "Everything that happens here is seen by the Witch God. Once the Witch God awakens, he will surely avenge me!"
"Is that so?"
Ye Kunlun's divine sense had long sealed the surroundings. That Witch God had escaped his grasp multiple times, and he had long been wary of him.
However, under the seal of his divine sense, he had not detected the slightest anomaly.
Suddenly, two massive tentacles emerged from the places where Wu Lu's arms had been severed, rapidly attacking Ye Kunlun.
Everything happened too suddenly.
Before Ye Kunlun could react, he was entangled by one of the tentacles.
"Ye Kunlun, today is your death day!" Wu Lu grinned sinisterly, revealing his blood-stained teeth!
Ye Kunlun frowned slightly, "Your Wu clan's methods are truly insidious, but do you think this is enough to kill me?"
"The tentacles are highly poisonous, not only causing mental paralysis but also devouring the spiritual energy within the body. Do you feel your internal strength rapidly draining?"
Supported by the two tentacles, Wu Lu stood up from the barren ground, looking at Ye Kunlun with a hint of smugness.
"If not for the Witch God bestowing upon me this method of异体结合 (yì tǐ jié hé - heterologous combination) to enhance my power, I might truly have died in your hands today."
Wu Lu was full of pride. He did not believe Ye Kunlun could still resist under the grasp of his two tentacles.
"Now that you mention it, I do feel a slight numbness."
Ye Kunlun looked down at the tentacles binding him, "What a shame, such low-class tricks can never grace the hall of elegance!"
"Chi Long!"
Ye Kunlun let out a soft cry. Chi Long directly penetrated the tentacle binding Ye Kunlun.
Instantly, the tentacle twisted violently, like a deflated ball, rapidly withering.
"Argh!" Wu Lu cried out in pain again, "Die!"
As Wu Lu cried out, the tip of the other tentacle opened a mouth full of fangs, lunging to devour Ye Kunlun!
Catching the nauseating stench, Ye Kunlun's eyes shot out two cold beams, "This is truly disgusting!"
In a flash, a sword energy came from the void, slashing towards the tentacle with its gaping maw, cleaving it in two!
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Wu Lu let out painful roars, his eyes turning crimson. The pain contorted his entire body, as if something terrifying was trying to break free from within him.
Ye Kunlun watched the change in Wu Lu with a cold gaze.
Puff, puff—
Wu Lu's skin was pierced from the inside out by something, and strips of purplish-red, writhing tentacles emerged.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds, even thousands, of tentacles burst forth from Wu Lu's body, appearing extremely bizarre.
Wu Lu's face had also transformed, resembling a dried corpse drained of blood, with crimson gums exposed and fangs dripping with nauseating mucus.
"Is this the Wu clan's Soul Fusion technique?"
Ye Kunlun looked at Wu Lu's transformation, his expression remarkably calm.
During his ten years on Kunlun, he had read through the Kunlun library's collection and listened to his master speak of the Wu clan.
Whether it was witchcraft, soul fusion, curse arts, refining of live poisons, puppets, or the Thousand Shadow Technique practiced by Wu Jiuming,
These were all secret arts passed down through generations of the Wu clan over thousands of years.
The Soul Fusion technique Wu Lu was using was the method of selecting a beast whose body and soul were most compatible, extracting its soul, and then, through special methods, merging the two.
After fusion, it required a specific method to activate it.
Once activated, it would completely beast-transform, unleashing terrifying power.
This was Ye Kunlun's first time witnessing a member of the Wu clan use the Soul Fusion technique, and he was curious to see how much power Wu Lu could unleash!
