Chapter 161: Soul Binding Rope

  Tap tap tap!

  That ancient corpse fell to the ground and retreated more than a dozen steps in succession, with an increasingly intense fierce light in its eyes.

  Ye Chen was shocked, this ancient corpse was only equivalent to the fifth-order Nascent Soul cultivation of the Secret Realm of the Five Nether Springs, yet its physical body was so strong that it could withstand his kick without suffering any damage!

  "What a great blessing, to have such a powerful cultivator with a physical body delivered right to my doorstep!" The ancient corpse spoke up, its mouth opening to release thick, intense waves of corpse energy.

  Ye Chen sneered, "I'm afraid you're not worthy of enjoying it."

  At this time, the female ghost had already arrived at Ye Chen's side, looking at him gratefully and kneeling on the ground.

  "Get up." Ye Chen said calmly.

  "Thank you, young master, for saving me!" The female ghost stood up and retreated to behind Ye Chen, keeping a certain distance from him. She didn't dare get close, as the masculine energy emanating from Ye Chen was too intense.

  "Compared to this female ghost's yin energy, I would much rather have your blood energy and vital energy!"

  The old corpse moved its head slightly, and as soon as it finished speaking, it lifted its foot and stomped heavily on the ground.

  "Boom!"

  In an instant, the entire land was shaking, and a terrifying huge crack opened on the ground. In an instant, it spread to Ye Chen's feet.

  Ye Chen sprang up and flew back into the air, at this time Gu Shi held a long spear and killed him in mid-air, the rolling corpse energy on his body was churning and undying.

  This spear shot forth with a speed so swift it was like a streak of light flashing through the void, tearing open a black seam in space with a ripping sound.

  Ye Chen stretched out his finger and pointed, his fingers shining with golden light.

  Ding!

  Fingertips touched spearhead, and in an instant, the ancient corpse's offensive was repelled.

  Buzz buzz buzz!!

  The rusty long spear held by Gu Shi trembled constantly, and the spear body gradually bent under Ye Chen's powerful physical strength.

  "What a powerful physique! I will definitely suck your blood today!"

  The ancient corpse became even more frantic, with a fervent tone in his words.

  "Your corpse core is also a good thing, today I'll just take it casually!"

  Ye Chen coldly smiled, his hand shook, a circle of golden blood energy ripples buzzed and shook open, the tyrannical power sent the long spear and ancient corpse flying back several steps.

  "Corpse Demon's Wild Dance!"

  The ancient corpse let out a loud howl, and the corpses in the sky burst forth, instantly enveloping an area of several hundred meters around them in a thick, heavy death energy. Immediately following that, the death energy transformed into countless demonic corpses that pounced on Ye Chen, densely packed and everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish which ones were real and which ones were fake.

  "All is illusion, chaos shatters all laws!"

  The Chaotic Great Slaughter Technique unfolded, and a chaotic-colored spiritual energy suddenly burst out from Ye Chen's head, then split into countless fists in the void, each fist absolutely locking onto an undead demon.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!

  A series of explosions, all the corpse demons in the sky were shattered and retransformed into corpse energy dissipating between heaven and earth.

  Buzz!

  At this moment, a dark and shiny corpse claw suddenly pierced through the void and appeared in front of Ye Chen in an instant, grasping towards his heart!

  Ye Chen reached out with his hand and grabbed the corpse's claw, twisting it.

  Crack!

  The ancient corpse let out a loud roar and wanted to withdraw its hand, but Ye Chen's hand was harder than a steel pincer, and it couldn't be pulled out.

  Hmph!

  Ye Chen twisted again, and Gu Shi's entire arm was twisted off, with dark corpse blood splashing all over the ground.

  Hoo-hoo!!

  The ancient corpse let out a mournful howl, retreating tens of meters away, and in its blood-red eyes, apart from the eagerness for Ye Chen's essence blood, there was an additional hint of fear.

  This scene had long been seen by Liu Feng and others, and the four of them were all shocked. No one expected that Ye Chen was so powerful, and they were fortunate that they didn't catch up with him earlier and attack him, otherwise even if the four of them joined forces against him, it's unlikely they could have killed him, and it's possible they would have been injured by him instead.

  "Young master, this person is very dangerous. Just look at that corpse, even I couldn't see its cultivation level. It's probably at least equivalent to the fourth life spring of the Secret Realm of the Sea of Fate. The corpse's physical body is incredibly strong, yet that person was able to twist off one of its arms with his bare hands!" a black-clad man beside Liu Feng exclaimed in shock.

  "Not bad, this person's physical body is abnormally strong, and what he cultivates is actually the golden attribute of spiritual power. The golden spiritual power is mainly attacking, extremely sharp, plus there is another unknown attribute of spiritual power in his body, indeed a very dangerous character. If we were to confront him head-on, we would absolutely not have the upper hand!" Another black-clothed person also said.

  "Hmph!" Liu Feng's face turned gloomy, and he let out a cold hum. A deep, jealous glint flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the figures of Ye Chen and Gu Shi locked in fierce combat. His voice was icy as he said, "Since they've encountered me, Young Master Liu, then they're doomed to die without even a burial ground. Tell me, if we were to intervene right now and bind him with the Soul- Binding Rope, what would be his fate?"

  "He may be strong, but he's bound by the spiritual ropes, and facing this ancient corpse is undoubtedly a death sentence. He'll be drained of his vital energy and turned into a desiccated corpse!" A black-clad man chimed in.

  "Haha, not bad, this young master will not only seize his spiritual beast, but also turn him into a desiccated corpse!" Liu Feng's eyes revealed a deep and sinister color, causing Yang Xiao to feel a chill run down his spine as he inadvertently met his gaze.

  Liu Feng took out a brown rope, about the thickness of a thumb, with a faint earthy spiritual energy flowing on its surface, and placed it in the hand of a black-clothed man, saying: "Take action."

  "Yes, young master!"

  The man in black took over the soul-binding rope, urging the spiritual power inside his body. In an instant, the soul-binding rope seemed to have come to life, like a spiritual snake, and flew towards Ye Chen with a hiss.

  At this moment, Ye Chen was in a fierce battle with Gu Shi. He had just dissolved Gu Shi's attack with one palm and was about to use the Great Collapse Hand to kill him. Just as his arm was raised, he suddenly felt his body tighten, and a rope emitting brown light wrapped around his arm and body.

  Been ambushed!

  Ye Chen suddenly turned his head and saw four figures flying towards him, rushing towards Miao Miao. Two black-clad men waved their hands in the air, and a huge net came down to cover Miao Miao.

  It really is for Miao Miao!

  Ye Chen's heart was filled with murderous intent, but at this moment his body was bound and he couldn't think much. Because Gu Shi saw Ye Chen being tied up, he knew the opportunity had arrived, and with a fierce roar, he had already killed his way over.

  Withdraw!

  His arms were bound, but his legs remained agile, and he unfolded the Divine Wind Step, quadrupling his speed, swift as a divine wind.

  Ye Chen suddenly retreated, and in an instant, he withdrew to the void where Miao Miao was. At the same time, a large net fell from the sky, almost covering Ye Chen's head.

  "You're done for, kid!"

  Jian Ye Chen actually retreated into his own spiritual net, Liu Feng coldly smiled and said.

  At the same time Ye Chen retreated, Gu Shi also quickly caught up with him. With Ye Chen being restrained, this was a great opportunity that Gu Shi would not miss. So his speed was so fast it made people's eyes dazzle.

  Yan Yechen retreated to the range of the Ling net, Gu Shi didn't think much and followed him in. Because he could see that the person fighting with him was not in cahoots with the few people who suddenly appeared.

  Ye Chen's mouth curled up in a cold smile, just as Gu Shi followed and chased into the range of the Ling Net's coverage, and the Ling Net had almost fallen when the Divine Wind Step suddenly burst out at five times its speed.

  Ye Chen's figure completely turned into a gust of wind, and no one could see his figure clearly. All they saw was a flash of green light, and the next second Ye Chen's body and Miao Miao disappeared together within the range of the spiritual net.

  "Hooray!!"

  The ancient corpse howled, and the spiritual net fell down. It didn't catch Ye Chen and Miao Miao, but instead caught an ancient corpse!

  "Ah, Liu brother quickly withdraw the net, quickly!" Yang Xiao exclaimed, his voice full of fear, seeing that ferocious ancient corpse struggling and howling in the spirit net, he was so scared that his hand shook, almost dropping one corner of the spirit net.

  "Shut up!" Liu Feng cursed, his face turning iron-blue with rage. "I'll withdraw, I'll withdraw your mother! Were you raised eating shit? Now that we're withdrawing from the web, this damned thing still won't let us off scot-free!"

  Yang Xiao's face turned bright red, being scolded by Liu Feng with a finger pointed at his nose, but he didn't dare to retort.

  "Yang Xiao, hold on, the two of us will infuse spiritual energy to maintain this spirit web!" Liu Feng shouted, then turned to the two men in black and said: "You two go kill that little brat!"

  As he finished speaking, two palm-sized spirit symbols flew out from his body and landed in the hands of the two men in black.

  "Two top-quality spiritual symbols, once activated, are equivalent to a full-force strike from a top-quality spiritual soldier. Go and kill that kid quickly! I must get the Spiritual Beast!" Liu Feng shouted at the two black-clad men who were stunned in place.

  "Yes!"

  The two men in black knew they were no match for Ye Chen, so they hesitated. Now that they had the two spiritual symbols in hand, their minds were greatly settled.

  Hoo-hoo!

  The ancient corpse's body was filled with a terrifying aura, and it struggled frantically within the spiritual net. Yang Xiao and Liu Feng held on with great difficulty, several times almost letting the ancient corpse shake off the spiritual net.

  Two black men holding spirit symbols with murderous intent in their eyes suddenly burst forth, locking onto Ye Chen several hundred meters away.

  All this happened in a few breaths, Ye Chen took Miao Miao and escaped from the range of the Ling net. As soon as he stopped, he saw Liu Feng give two black-clothed men two spirit symbols to come and kill him.

  "Kid, you're in trouble for running into us... it's your bad luck that you ran into us!" The two men in black took a step forward, closing the distance between them and Ye Chen, their voices cold.

  They had originally wanted to say 'you're unlucky to have met our young master', but the words stuck in their throat, fearing they would incur the jealousy of Liu Feng.

  "No, no." Ye Chen shook his head with a very poor expression and said: "It's my good fortune to have met you. Your cultivation is not low, your flesh and blood and spiritual energy can be used to refine the elixir, it's a great resource."

  "Hahaha, you're arrogant and ignorant!" The black-clothed man laughed loudly, saying: "We admit that you are very powerful, but under the attack of a top-grade spirit symbol, you will only have a fate of regret!"

  "Is it? I'd like to see just how powerful the spirit symbols in your hands are!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

  Just now I used the Divine Wind Step at five times speed, consuming a large amount of blood and energy. Now after just a few sentences, I've already recovered more or less.

  "You two useless things, don't you dare move quickly! This young master is about to lose his temper!" Liu Feng's angry roar sounded again.
