God of Slaughter
chapter-413

Seven rattan monsters stood in a semi-circle, surrounding a group of miserable looking warriors. Twelve hollow spirits were floating above them, releasing a terrifying spiritual power which made this group of warriors unable to speak and find it difficult to resist.

Shi Yan originally didn’t pay attention to this place. As long as he saw hollow spirits on the way, he would open his Sea of Consciousness without any guard, so that these hollow spirits would take the initiative to fall into his trap. Then, the Five Devils would devour them all.

In the rattan monster’s siege, a familiar voice arose, startling him. He then looked towards that direction more attentively.

"Ye Zhang Feng!" Shi Yan suddenly shouted while his eyes brightened. "Is it you?"

"It’s me." Ye Zhang Feng cried out loud. "Come here quickly. I can see that you seem to be able to deal with the hollow spirits. Come here and help me out in dealing with these hollow spirits."

After identifying that the voice belonged to Ye Zhang Feng, Shi Yan didn’t hesitate, turning into a beam of light and dashing towards his location.

A flow of thick, bone-chilling aura overflowed from his body, and the dense fog scattered. The surrounding rattan monsters didn’t dare to act rashly. When the thick, cold fog barged in, those rattan trees wrapping around him were frozen, and they could no longer move freely.

The icy air of the Ice Cold Flame seemed to be able to freeze everything, and rattan monsters were no exception.

Those rattan monsters also seemed to know that Shi Yan was not easy to deal with. All of the rattan trees on the way halted when they recognized the Ice Cold Flame’s aura, and didn’t continue to pursue him.

A cluster of burning fires ignited from the middle of the seven rattan monsters. The scorching fire seemed to come from the Purgatory True Flame, seemingly wanting to burn everything in this world into ashes.

The Purgatory True Flame!

Even though he was still a bit far from that place, with the Ice Cold Flame, he already knew that Ye Zhang Feng was one of those warriors.

The Purgatory True Flame came from Ye Zhang Feng. Unless he was dead, it would never leave his body. If the Purgatory True Flame appeared, Ye Zhang Feng was certainly there.

Many clusters of the Purgatory True Flame looked like floating clouds in the air. Its heat was extremely horrifying, and the rattan monsters around didn’t dare to reach out, not even a single branch.

Shi Yan observed everything for a moment and then realized that there were a lot of ashes in those clusters of burning flames. With a closer look, he found that they were the ashes from the rattan trees which had been burned. The fact that those rattan monsters were oppressed might be because they already had experienced the Purgatory True Flame.

Although this Purgatory True Flame was powerful, hollow spirits didn’t seem to be scared. This kind of a strange spirit creature aggressively moved in the burning flames, like fireflies shining everywhere, even covering the Purgatory True Flame’s fires.

Inside the circle formed by the rattan monsters, there was a group of four, including three males and one female. They were all very young; the men were handsome and charming while the woman was both beautiful and graceful.

Ye Zhang Feng was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a solemn face. His body released a plume of flames from time to time. The flames flew out and instantly gathered with the fire clouds in the sky, and thus, those rattan monsters didn’t dare to act recklessly.

The other two men were standing in front of Ye Zhang Feng on his left and on his right respectively. They were tall and might, with long beards and charming look.

These two people showed their cold eyes and didn’t say anything as they seemed to be resisting the soul attack from the hollow spirits.

Behind Ye Zhang Feng stood a beautiful woman with a graceful body, wearing a leather skirt. She was holding a dragon bone whip while looking around with caution.

Lin Ya Qi was not in this group.

Actually, Ye Zhang Feng alone was enough to deal with these rattan monsters. The reason they were facing danger was because of the lingering hollow spirits.

After a long time since they last met, Ye Zhang Feng had already entered the First Sky of Nirvana Realm. The other three people were at the Second or the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm. This team was not too powerful in this swamp, and even weaker than Zhao Feng’s and Shi Yan’s teams.

As most of them were at the Nirvana Realm, they seemed to be strained while dealing with the hollow spirits. At the Nirvana Realm, the warrior’s Sea of Consciousness was just newly formed. Thus, the host soul was limited, and hardly utilized powerful soul attacks or defense. That was why they had difficulty in fighting with hollow spirits.

"Come here and give me a hand quickly!" Seeing Shi Yan stop outside of the rattan monsters’ area, Ye Zhang Feng’s eyes brightened while he anxiously said, "Boy, help me deal with these hollow spirits. I don’t need you for other things. I can cope with the rattan monsters."

Shi Yan still didn’t rush over. His entire body emitted a cold, gloomy aura. He knitted his eyebrows, looking at the others and asked, "Where is Xia Xinyan?"

Shi Yan’s face darkened. He could see something bad had happened as Ye Zhang Feng’s face suddenly changed.

"Help me deal with these hollow spirits. I will tell you about Xia XinYan later." Ye Zhang Feng frowned, shook his head and looked at Shi Yan with a guilty face.

"Okay." Shi Yan walked over to those four people with a somber face. Seeing him coming closer, the seven rattan monsters could feel that terrifying cold aura but didn’t dare to attack him.

On one side was the Purgatory True Flame that Ye Zhang Feng releasing, and the other side was the Ice Cold Flame’s aura from Shi Yan’s body. Although these two Heaven Flames didn’t release their real power, their auras were enough to frighten the rattan monsters and make them stay away.

The seven rattan monsters moved away, giving him the way. This incident also terrified the other three people of Ye Zhang Feng’s group.

Those three people were guarding against the rattan monsters and taking precautions against Shi Yan at the same time. They looked extremely careful and curious.

The beautiful woman had a tanned skin and an appealing body, wearing a nice leather skirt. She raised her eyebrows, staring at Shi Yan while speaking to Ye Zhang Feng, "Zhang Feng, who is this? Is he a member of your Spirit Treasure Sect? Why haven’t I seen him before?"

"He’s a friend who I’ve met in the Endless Sea," explained Ye Zhang Feng.

"The Endless Sea?" That woman laughed with disdain and then swung the dragon bone whip in her hand. A thunder-like explosion reverberated in the void.

Each knag of the dragon bone whip seemed to contain a mysterious power that could shake the Heaven and Earth.

She was the one with the highest realm among the four of them, which was the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm. With her dragon bone whip, her aura was terrifying.

"Beauty, if you can cope with the hollow spirits, I will not take action." Shi Yan came over, curled his lips and coldly looked at her with ridicule. "That’s right. The Endless Sea is just a small place, and of course, far lower than your Divine Great Land. I think that the young talents of the Divine Great Land can deal with this kind of hollow spirits much better than me. I will not dare to offer to teach a fish to swim."

After talking, he turned to Ye Zhang Feng, quickly sat down without looking at that woman anymore. He stared at Ye Zhang Feng with a dark face and asked, "How is Xia XinYan?"

"I don’t see you have the guts either." The woman’s face became cold while she harrumphed. "If Lin Ya Qi were here, we would not have needed you. With Lin Ya Qi’s soul defensive secret treasure, these hollow spirits wouldn’t even dare to come close."

Shi Yan basically didn’t care about that woman. He calmly looked at Ye Zhang Feng.

"She’s fine. She has probably reached the Nirvana Realm. This can’t be told in just a few words. Help me deal with these hollow spirits first." Ye Zhang Feng begged to him again. While talking, Ye Zhang Feng looked at that appealing woman with a wry smile, "Lin Zhi, don’t bring more troubles to me. You can deal with those hollow spirits. As my Sea of Consciousness has just formed, I cannot resist the soul attack of the hollow spirits. Can you please talk less?"

"Hmm." The woman’s name was Lin Zhi. She threw a glance at Shi Yan and stopped babbling.

"She’s Lin Zhi, Lin Ya Qi’s sister. She’s like that, not easy to talk to at the beginning. But after getting more familiar, she’s not that bad." Ye Zhang Feng forced a smile, explained to ShiYan and then urged, "Be quick. These hollow spirits seem to be interested in my appearance now. As my realm is the lowest, I can barely resist them."

Shi Yan frowned, coldly looked at him, hesitated for a moment and said, "You will have to tell me everything later."

After talking, he focused his mind to scatter his consciousness, exposing his Sea of Consciousness without any defense. He even walked towards the area where the hollow spirits were gathering.

A hollow spirit which flew next to the rattan monsters suddenly considered him its delicious food and then rushed towards him without hesitation.

Twelve hollow spirits, which were like giant fireflies, turned into green lights and went into his Sea of Consciousness one by one.

After watching all of those hollow spirits enter his Sea of Consciousness, Ye Zhang Feng’s group looked at him curiously.

Lin Zhi was not an exception.

The woman surprisingly stared at Shi Yan. Other people from Ye Zhang Feng’s group also looked at him with curiosity.

When Shi Yan had come to the swamp earlier, other people had all paid attention to the rattan monsters, except for Ye Zhang Feng with the Purgatory True Flame. He had quietly been focusing on the area ahead, and had surprisingly seen Shi Yan let the hollow spirits storm into his Sea of Consciousness one after another while still being safe and continuing to walk to the hollow spirits gathering area.

When Ye Zhang Feng recognized his acquaintance, he had been overjoyed as he had found someone to help him.

The other three people, Lin Zhi and the other two, didn’t believe it because they didn’t see Shi Yan still safe and sound walking around in the swamp after absorbing hollow spirits. They just thought that Ye Zhang Feng wanted to encourage them.

Right now, Shi Yan was walking over while opening his Sea of Consciousness at the same time. This made Lin Zhi and the other two people startled, as they knew that Ye Zhang Feng was not joking.

The people of Lin Zhi’s group understood well how dangerous the hollow spirits were. They knew that only some specific types of soul defensive secret treasure could prevent the hollow spirits’ soul attacks from harming the users.

However, Shi Yan, on the contrary, let the hollow spirits go into his Sea of Consciousness. This abnormality went beyond their imagination.

"This friend of mine is not like the other warriors of the Endless Sea. He’s even stronger than the warriors of the Divine Great Land." While Shi Yan was dealing with the hollow spirits, Ye Zhang Feng talked to the others with a low tone and a solemn face. "Last time when we parted, he was only at the Earth Realm. Hmm, in just one year, I have reached the Nirvana Realm, and I assumed that it was a fast progress. Unexpectedly, he has entered the Sky Realm. This is unbelievable indeed."

Lin Zhi and the other two were dumbstruck.
