Chapter 1485 - 545: New Divine Skill Acquired
Ye Lingyue’s sweat had already soaked through her clothes; the fabric clung to her skin, bringing a faint chill.
She had already dodged several Demon Explosions in a row.
Yet she was still in a miserable state, and had found no way to break the technique.
In her mind, she replayed again and again every move the Green Evil Demon had made when attacking her, but still didn’t get the slightest clue.
If this went on, no matter how much Power of Heaven and Earth she had, it would be drained dry.
But none of the Cultivation Techniques she had mastered could deal with this Demon Explosion.
Just when she was on the brink of despair, something flashed through her mind, and she seized it.
Ye Lingyue’s pupils shrank sharply, and at last a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
Her body, which had been flitting about like a butterfly shuttle, constantly dodging, suddenly stopped; Ye Lingyue abruptly closed her eyes.
Her strange action startled the Green Evil Demon and Little Wuya and the others.
Little Wuya was so scared her heart almost leaped into her throat.
"Putting on a ghost show."
The Green Evil Demon’s baleful aura surged.
"Boss, Boss, what’s wrong with you, hurry and dodge!"
At this moment, faint rays of light appeared between Ye Lingyue’s fingers.
They were needles hidden between her fingers.
Each was extremely thin, no thicker than a cow hair; without close scrutiny, the naked eye couldn’t notice them at all.
With a wave of Ye Lingyue’s hand, those fine needles floated in midair, tracing streaks of needle light through the air.
But with this level of power, don’t say defeating the Green Evil Demon—hurting a demon soldier would be hard.
"Tsk~ I thought you had some new trick. Turns out it’s just a few tiny needles, and you want to deal with this demon?"
The Green Evil Demon saw Ye Lingyue shooting out those needles, and instead of panic, he looked even more disdainful.
But those needles were now suspended in midair.
They were moving slowly; at the tail of each needle was a strand of spiritual power so faint it was almost invisible.
These needles existed only to draw and guide the spiritual power.
Spiritual power plus needles?
What the hell was this Human Clan girl up to?
The Green Evil Demon grew even more puzzled, but still didn’t take Ye Lingyue’s strange behavior seriously.
The Human Clan’s Alchemist Great Powers were indeed terrifying.
But those were at least Fang Venerate Level Alchemists; such Alchemists were already ancient relics. The little lass before him was not worth fearing.
The Fire Phoenix also sensed that wave of spiritual power fluctuations from Ye Lingyue.
At first he also didn’t know what Ye Lingyue’s intention was.
But very soon he discovered that these spiritual power fluctuations from Ye Lingyue were very unusual.
Those needles kept roaming about, drawing that spiritual power into countless strands.
They spiraled and interwove nonstop, rapidly occupying the surroundings like a spiderweb, with Ye Lingyue as the spider.
In just a short moment, her spiritual power had gathered into a giant Spiritual Net with an astonishing area of coverage.
"Here!"
Ye Lingyue suddenly opened her eyes.
Her body flashed aside with agile speed.
At the very instant she dodged, a Demon Explosion of terrifying power detonated right where she had been!
A perfect dodge, not a scratch on her.
The Green Evil Demon’s expression turned ugly.
He finally realized the true meaning behind Ye Lingyue’s earlier actions.
She had actually woven her spiritual power into a terrifying Spiritual Net.
So long as he was under the shroud of this giant spiritual power net, he was like a tiny crawling bug caught on a spiderweb.
Whether he tried any sinister ploy or attempted to take flight, he would be sensed by Ye Lingyue in advance.
Under such circumstances, his Demon Explosion lost its effect.
"You think my spiritual power is only to guard against your Demon Explosion?"
A captivating smile curved at Ye Lingyue’s lips.
But that smile was bottomless, and a bone-deep chill flowed out from her eyes.
In that instant, the giant Spiritual Net suddenly changed.
The spiritual power that had originally seemed very faint transformed into an astonishing surge of Power of Heaven and Earth, and within it was actually mixed a strand of black Cauldron Breath.
The giant net descended like a sky-covering canopy, tightly wrapping around the Green Evil Demon. He didn’t even have time to struggle before the black Cauldron Breath seeped in from every pore, drilling into his body.
A loud bang sounded.
From the sky, a large amount of remains rained down.
One of the fierce generals under the Golden Horn Demon King—Green Evil Demon—was dead!
The Fire Phoenix and the Phoenix Clan warriors were all stunned by this scene.
Especially the Fire Phoenix. The death of the Green Evil Demon might have looked inexplicable to others.
But the Fire Phoenix had the highest cultivation present; he could feel that when Ye Lingyue wove her spiritual power into a net, the most shocking part was that at the very moment she slew the Green Evil Demon, the nature of that spiritual power changed.
What kind of Martial Arts or Divine Power Skill in this world could freely convert between spiritual power and a Martial Artist’s power?
Moreover, the Fire Phoenix had sharply sensed that the mysterious power Ye Lingyue controlled was not only astonishingly strong, but also concealed an even more terrifying force within.
That kind of power made his blood run cold.
With the Green Evil Demon dead, the demon soldiers, now a headless mob, immediately fell into chaos.
Under the pincer attack of the Phoenix Clan warriors and the Three-legged Birdman Warriors, they quickly collapsed and were beaten back step by step in the county government compound, forced to flee toward the secret tunnel they had come from.
But just as those two to three thousand demon soldiers ducked into the tunnel, preparing to flee back to the Central Plains,
A rumbling roar came from within the passage, and wisps of green smoke drifted out of the tunnel.
"Hahaha, let’s see if this doesn’t blow you demons to hell."
After the tunnel entrance was blasted shut, Guangzi and Gong Linxin walked out from the side.
The two of them clapped their hands, calling it a thrill.
It turned out Ye Lingyue had long calculated that once these demon soldiers were defeated they would rout and flee, so she had secretly ordered Guangzi and Gong Linxin to bury a large number of Green Thunder charges in the tunnel.
The demon soldiers fled in panic and stepped right on the Green Thunder; not only were they blown to Shattered Bones, but most of the tunnel was destroyed as well.
The long night finally came to an end.
Bo Qing and the others also did not fail Ye Lingyue’s trust. Under cover of night, they successfully evacuated the citizens of Ah County to a safe area.
Near dawn, a light drizzle fell, moistening the soil and at the same time washing away the thick stench of blood in the county government compound.
"Kill them all? Not a single one left!"
When Bo Qing and the others returned to the county government, they only caught the scene of the Phoenix Clan warriors and the Three-legged Birdman Warriors cleaning up the demon corpses all over the ground.
Ye Lingyue had already dug out the Green Evil Demon’s Demon Core.
Of the five thousand demon soldiers, excluding the corpses buried in the tunnel that couldn’t be tallied, the later count showed that more than four thousand nine hundred demon soldiers had died in Ah County.
Within Ah County, counting the Phoenix Clan warriors and the Three-legged Birdman Warriors, there were only some thirteen hundred people in total.
With such a ratio, Ah County was not only held, but the Huangquan Team remained entirely intact, not even one member severely injured.
The only one who had been hurt, Ye Lingyue, after a brief session of breathing adjustment, was soon bouncing around again.
