Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 1258 Ambush encountered
An hour later, Ye Xuan arrived at the reunion place with Bai Yinglan and others.

But, what surprised him was...

At this time, Bai Yinglan, Bingyu and the seven demon women were all seriously injured.

Ye Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Cousin, what happened?"

Bai Yinglan looked pale.

Before she could even open her mouth, the Seven Demon Ladies' True Concubine said in panic, "Young Master, it's our fault for not protecting Miss Tianzhu!"

Ye Xuan was shocked. No wonder he didn't see Ying Tianzhu. "What happened to her?!"

"Ye Xuan, a group of warriors came here half a day ago. They attacked me without saying a word, and then took Tianzhu away in the chaos! They left a jade slip when they fled, and said that if you don't want Tianzhu to die, you can go alone." Bai Yinglan said with a guilty look on his face.

Ye Xuan felt his head explode, but he suppressed his anxiety and said to Bai Yinglan, "Where is the jade slip? Do you know which land these warriors are from?"

"It's hard to tell which continent the warriors are from. They all wear different clothes, so they should be from more than one continent... their cultivation levels also vary. There are low-level Saint Kings and mid-level Saint Kings." Bai Yinglan handed a jade slip to Ye Xuan, which contained a direction coordinate.

"Ye Xuan, Tianzhu is so beautiful, you should go and save her quickly. If you go too late, I'm afraid..." Bingyu was bitten by a snake and had a shadow in her heart, so she urged.

"Damn it!"

Ye Xuan's anger rose in his heart, he cursed, took the jade slip and flew away.

In the silent night, a black rainbow rushed straight to the south.

Along the way, Ye Xuan was in a state of confusion. Ying Tianzhu became his teacher and friend, and they had faced many difficulties together. If it weren't for Ying Tianzhu, it would be difficult for him to advance to the saint realm.

An hour later, Ye Xuan followed the map coordinates on the jade slip and came to a black forest near a valley. He floated down and used the "Dark Stealth" technique. In the night, he turned into a vague black shadow and flew towards the direction of the small valley.

Soon, the entrance to the valley covered by vines appeared in front of Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan's pupils and soul spun, and he immediately discovered a Saint King Realm Third Level martial artist hiding not far from the entrance.

He was eager to save people, so he shot the "Sky Nightmare Sword" in the direction of the person guarding the Saint King without saying a word. The Saint King didn't even make a sound, and slowly fell to the ground and died.

Ye Xuan pushed aside the vines blocking the entrance and rushed into the cave leading into the valley like a gust of wind.

When I came out of the other end of the cave, I didn't meet anyone else. The valley was full of knee-high yellow grass, a scene of decay.

Ye Xuan looked into the distance but did not see any human traces. In a hurry, he did not care about being discovered by the other party and used his escape method, flying into the valley like a black lightning.

Half a minute later, Ye Xuan stopped his escape in an open space. He had searched the huge valley inside and out, but did not find any human figure.

Ye Xuan's eyes were gloomy. After thinking for a while, his mental power suddenly expanded and swept out in all directions like water ripples.

Suddenly his expression changed as he discovered that there was a slight fluctuation deep underground in the valley.

"So it's hidden underground. This is a good hiding place!"

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, teleported directly, and dived underground.

Thirty thousand feet underground, there are many intricate stone passages and caves.

Ye Xuan teleported to the entrance of a stone cave and after careful inspection, he found some clues. He picked up a used Yuan stone from the ground. Obviously, it was accidentally dropped by the other party. It seems that the guys should be hiding underground!

Ye Xuan flashed and entered the stone path.

It was pitch dark in the long corridor, with only a little light coming from the front. In order to avoid being exposed, Ye Xuan did not use the holy light, but moved forward silently in the corridor. With his eyesight, he would not be blinded even if there was no light.

After walking along a stone path more than a thousand feet long, they came to a large stone gate. This gate had been destroyed and collapsed on the ground. It seemed that this was an ancient cave, where the enemy used to hide after being discovered.

At this time, the cave was still quiet, as if there was no one there.

Ye Xuan continued walking along the corridor at the entrance, searching the secret rooms along the way, trying to find the place where they imprisoned Ying Tianzhu, but after searching all the secret rooms on the first floor, he found no trace.

There is a very strong divine ban in this cave. Even Ye Xuan's mental power cannot be extended far and is suppressed within a hundred feet.

He found a simple teleportation array leading to the next level. Just as he was about to activate it, he saw the small teleportation array emit a white light and a person was teleported out from it, and he faced Ye Xuan head-on.

This man was about forty years old, of medium build, with a brush-like haircut and a long and narrow face. He was wearing a black martial arts robe and had a sword at his waist. He had the cultivation level of the fifth level of the Saint King Realm.

When this man saw Ye Xuan, he was horrified and just wanted to reach out to draw his sword, but Ye Xuan stretched out his right hand, grabbed his throat like lightning, and lifted him up and pressed him against the stone wall.

"I am Ye Xuan! If you want to live, be quiet!" Ye Xuan shouted in a low voice.

The man originally wanted to struggle, but when he heard the word Ye Xuan, his body froze and he dared not move anymore. However, Ye Xuan had grasped his throat tightly, and the holy power in his body became chaotic, and his face turned a little blue.

Ye Xuan loosened his grip a little, letting him land on his feet, but his right hand was still on his throat, interrogating him, "What's your name? Which continent are you from? What are you going to do coming up from down there?"

"My name is Liu...Liu Chunlai, they all call me Liu Wu. I'm from Motian Continent, and I came up from down there and am going to the valley entrance to take over Lao Qi's job." The Saint King answered honestly.

"Take over? I think you've made a trip in vain. I've already sent that Old Qi off!" Ye Xuan said coldly. Obviously, the man he had killed at the entrance of the valley before should be the Old Qi that Liu Wu mentioned.

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Liu Wu was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost lost control of his bowels and bladder. He thought to himself, this Ye Xuan is indeed as good as his reputation says, he can take people's lives with one move.

He couldn't help but beg for mercy, "Young man, please spare my life, I don't know anything and I haven't done anything bad!"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me! Where did you hold my friend? Also, how many of your people are there down there? Where are they now?"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! As long as you can spare my life, I'll tell you anything! That woman is locked up in a secret room at the innermost part of the second floor. In addition to me, there are thirteen other people downstairs. Two of them are guarding the door of the secret room where the woman is locked up, and the remaining ten are practicing. If you need it, young man, I'm willing to lead the way for you!"

"Why did you kidnap her?" Ye Xuan frowned.

"I really don't know about this. I'm just a small character. Our hall master has the final say in all matters. If he tells us to plunder, we have no choice but to plunder." Liu Wu said with a wry smile.

"Really?" After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan loosened his right hand that was stuck on Liu Wu's throat, pulled out the sword from his waist and pressed it against the back of his head, and said in a low voice, "You lead the way now, and you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Liu Wu nodded his head like a hammer of garlic, "Young man, don't worry. I wouldn't dare to do anything even if I had ten times the courage. Let's go down now!"

After saying that, he cautiously took Ye Xuan to activate the teleportation array.

The two were teleported to the second floor. Under the guidance of Liu Wu, Ye Xuan followed him all the way, turning left and right, and walked for nearly an incense stick of time.

Liu Wucai stopped walking, pointed to the corridor on the right, and whispered to Ye Xuan, "Go straight along this corridor, and you will reach the secret room where your friend is imprisoned. Do you want me to help you lead out the two guards?"

Ye Xuan's pupils and souls rotated, activating the perspective, and indeed he discovered that at the end of the distant corridor, there were two martial arts saint kings sitting in front of the door of a secret room. That secret room should be the room where Ying Tianzhu was imprisoned.

With the help of perspective, Ye Xuan glanced at Liu Wu and said softly, "No need. Since you are still cooperating, I will spare your life today. Get out!"

An expression of gratitude immediately appeared on Liu Wu's face. He nodded vigorously, turned around and escaped quietly.

Watching Liu Wu's figure disappear at the corner of the stone road ahead, Ye Xuan took a step forward and entered the 'dark stealth' state again, moving towards the direction of the two Holy Kings.

With his current strength, if he intends to hide, no one except the top Saint King can discover his whereabouts.

Ye Xuan stopped more than ten feet away from the two Saint Kings.

With a soft 'hum' sound, two transparent small black shadows in the shape of swords appeared again from the center of the eyebrows and shot forward. In the blink of an eye, they pierced through the heads of two mid-level Saint Kings. The two men immediately bled from all seven orifices and fell limply to the ground.

Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that with the increase of his cultivation, the power of this mental attack had also been greatly enhanced. This time, he actually killed two birds with one stone and killed two mid-level Saint Kings in one fell swoop.

He quickly walked to the door of the secret room where Ying Tianzhu was imprisoned and pushed open the stone door. Sure enough, on the bed in the secret room, a woman in a white dress was curled up on the bed, motionless.

The woman's face was facing the wall, so Ye Xuan could not see her features clearly, but from her slim figure, she vaguely looked like Ying Tianzhu.

Ye Xuan stepped in.

"Ying Tianzhu! Ying Tianzhu!" He quickly walked to the bed and called Ying Tianzhu's name softly, but the woman on the bed was still curled up there, without any response.

Ye Xuan's mind turned, Ying Tianzhu seemed to have been restrained and fainted, but seeing that her clothes were intact, she did not look like she had been molested by anyone, and the anxiety in his heart was relieved a little.

He put his hand on Ying Tianzhu's shoulder and pulled her body towards him. What came into Ye Xuan's sight was the face of a strange woman. She looked nothing like Ying Tianzhu. She had a high nose and deep eyes, and was obviously the appearance of a woman from an alien continent.

"Oh no! I've fallen into a trap!" Ye Xuan suddenly felt a sense of alarm and was about to push the woman in his hand away, but it was too late. The woman's eyes suddenly opened, her lips moved slightly, and with a "puff" sound, a puff of yellow smoke blew out of her mouth, straight towards Ye Xuan's face.

At the same time, he flipped his hands and revealed two sharp daggers, which stabbed into Ye Xuan's chest and lower abdomen one after another like lightning.

These changes were so fast that Ye Xuan was caught off guard and fell into the opponent's trap. He felt a stinging pain in his eyes and the scenery in front of him became blurred and he could not see anything.

The shock was serious. In panic, he was stabbed in the chest and abdomen by the dagger in the hands of the strange woman.

This time it was the strange woman's turn to be surprised. Ye Xuan's body was as hard as iron and she couldn't pierce him at all. With two crisp "pa pa" sounds, the two daggers were actually broken into four pieces by the light of the inner armor rising from Ye Xuan's body.

Ye Xuan raised his hand and slapped the strange woman on the head, smashing her head to pieces. The flying brain matter and blood splattered all over the wall on one side.

The next moment...

A familiar voice suddenly came from the jade slip in a corner of the secret room, "Ye Xuan, I didn't expect you to be so cautious. Even this can't kill you. You should be wearing a semi-artifact inner armor under your clothes, right?"

Ye Xuan's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart! He had already heard that the voice came from Liu Wu who led him!

It seems that there is surveillance in this secret room, and my every move just now has been seen by the other party!
Ye Xuan snorted coldly, "Liu Wu! Where is my friend? What did you do to her?"

"Your friend? Oh, that extremely beautiful female cultivator, right? Seeing how concerned you are about her, could she be your mistress? I'm very sorry, but we are all normal men after all. Facing such an extremely beautiful female cultivator, you can imagine what would happen, right? Well, that woman has really good skin and is quite big, and even her moans are special! To be honest, our people took turns having sex with her, and many of them did it three times. Even now, their legs are still a little weak!"

Ye Xuan felt a bang in his head. It was over. Had Ying Tianzhu really been killed by them? Or were they just saying this to anger him?

But I was trapped by these beasts using Ying Tianzhu as bait. This plan was so vicious!
Restraining his anger, Ye Xuan said coldly, "Liu Wu, I guess this shouldn't be your real name, right? How did I offend you?"

Liu Wu's arrogant laughter came from the jade slip, "Ye Xuan, I didn't expect you to be so naive. You actually believed that I was just a nobody who was just trying to make a living. Since you let me go, I will tell you honestly that my real name is indeed Liu Chunlai, and my nickname is indeed Liu Wu. However, I am a killer, a hired killer. Do you know now? As for who hired me to kill you, I can't tell you. Hehe, I have professional ethics."

"Liu Wu, I have to admit that your acting skills are very good, but I swear, when I see you next time, I will correct the mistakes I made!" Ye Xuan said word by word, with a strong murderous intent in his voice.

"You want to kill me? Stop dreaming! Your eyes must be hurting badly now, right? This is the famous 'Five Poisons Corroding Bone Smoke' in our Motian Continent. If you inhale even a little bit of it, you will bleed from all seven orifices and die. You are lucky that you held your breath in time. However, this 'Five Poisons Corroding Bone Smoke' can also corrode the eyes. If you don't get the antidote within two hours, your eyes will be ruined! And it might even corrode your brain and turn you into an idiot!"

"In addition, I also want to tell you that right now in this underground cave, there are not only nearly a hundred masters from our Earth Killing Hall, but also eighty assassins from various continents that our employer has specially transferred to us. The woman who plotted against you just now is one of the assassins: Guli. Unfortunately, you are lucky enough not to die in her hands, but you beat her to death instead. You..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Ye Xuan's body shook, and a circle of faint glowing light quickly spread out from him, like a huge wave crashing against the shore, and slammed into the four walls of the secret room. Wherever the glowing light passed, everything in the room, including the jade prohibition in the corner, exploded and turned into a pile of debris. The other party's voice stopped abruptly.

After releasing the "force", Ye Xuan's anger was also vented a little, and he stood quietly in the room for a moment.

There was another stinging feeling in his eyes. This 'Five Poisons Corroding Bone Smoke' was really overbearing. Ye Xuan knew that he did not hold his breath in time, but did inhale a few wisps of yellow smoke. However, the ancient devouring technique took effect and eliminated the toxicity, allowing him to escape the disaster by luck.

However, this yellow smoke is not only poisonous, but also has a very strong corrosive effect, which cannot be resolved by any martial arts. Although his body is strong, his eyes are the most vulnerable part of the body. They have been damaged by the poisonous smoke.

Unfortunately, there is no good medicine to treat eyes in his ring.

With a light sigh, Ye Xuan had to secretly mobilize the demonic energy in his body and move two streams of pure demonic energy to the back of his eyes to form a protective shield to prevent the poisonous smoke from penetrating deeper into his eyes and corroding his brain.

As for his own "eye disease", he could only wait until he was out of trouble to deal with it.

Just as he was about to step out, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps in the corridor outside the door. The enemy had arrived.
