639: Chapter 635 Ye Xuong’s Concerns…
“Damn it!”
Ye Xuong cried out as he was hit, feeling a surge of force flooding his body, causing turmoil within his organs.
For a moment, Ye Xuong couldn’t keep up with his internal energy.
The other puppets gathered around to attack, but Ye Tian acted quickly and blocked in front of Ye Xuong.
“Smack smack smack smack smack~~~~~~~~~”
Ye Tian unleashed several palm strikes, sending the puppets that tried to surround Ye Xuong flying.
“Ye Xuong, these puppets don’t feel pain.
Don’t use normal moves to attack them!”
Ye Tian reminded again, and only then did Ye Xuong come to a sudden realization.
He slowly adjusted his energy, allowing the flow within his body to smooth out.
Ten or so puppets were knocked back several meters by Ye Tian but weren’t defeated.
They only paused momentarily before charging at Ye Tian and Ye Xuong once more.
Facing the puppets, Ye Tian never showed mercy.
With a fierce punch, he struck the body of one puppet.
“Crash!”
The puppet instantly exploded, its head and limbs scattering around, eventually coming to a rest on the ground, motionless…
Ye Xuong was startled; though he was a renowned fighter in the world, he had rarely seen such brutal combat!
After Ye Tian’s punch shattered one puppet, the others weren’t cowed.
Instead, they pressed even harder, all attacking Ye Tian alone.
As for the internally wounded Ye Xuong, nobody paid him any attention…
But Ye Tian wasn’t bothered by these puppets’ entanglement.
With another heavy palm strike, he hit another puppet in the chest.
This puppet had no way to defend itself and, with a “boom”, its body shattered just like the first puppet had.
“…”
Ye Tian glanced at the shattered puppet and said nothing, knowing that any hesitation would slow his actions, and this was the only way to defeat the puppets.
“Boss!
I’m still here!”
Ye Xuong’s injury wasn’t severe, and he was ready to fight again after some adjustments.
Having learned from his earlier mistake, he did not dare to be negligent this time.
“Bang bang bang bang bang bang~~~~~~~~”
Ye Xuong threw five or six punches in quick succession, each with full power, smashing into the bodies of the nearby puppets.
Even though the puppets couldn’t feel pain, the barrage from Ye Xuong caused their limbs to shatter, turning into a pile of mush, thus stopping their assault.
Seeing Ye Xuong fighting, Ye Tian stood aside.
As Ye Xuong fought more fiercely, ten or so puppets quickly became his punching bags.
Surrounded by bone chips and flesh, Ye Xuong, now that he had taken action, had no intention of holding back.
“Crash!”
Ye Xuong’s hands brutally plunged into the chest of the last puppet, then viciously tore it apart, turning the pitiful puppet into pieces!
“It’s over!
Boss!”
After defeating all the puppets, Ye Xuong raised his fists, showing off his strength to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian merely smiled faintly, not worrying about Ye Xuong’s fighting ability.
Though these puppets were strong, they were fundamentally inferior compared to a master like Ye Xuong.
“Well done!”
Ye Tian praised, then fell silent.
This exploration of the ancient tomb, though fraught with twists, still yielded some benefits, so Ye Tian needed to leave quickly to digest the information he had gathered.
But just as Ye Tian and Ye Xuong were about to move, they heard a flute sound…
“Whoo whoo whoo whoo~~~~~~~~~~~”
The eerie sound, amidst the scattered flesh around them, seemed even more sinister!
“That sound again!”
Ye Xuong gritted his teeth in frustration, very familiar with the sound—it was the same one that controlled Deng Xi!
“…”
Ye Tian, however, said nothing, merely gazing silently at a head on the ground.
It was a puppet’s head, whose eyes had been closed until now but suddenly opened!
Not only did its eyes open, but its mouth also began moving, starting to speak.
“King of the Night, have you ever thought, every person you’ve killed had a family, they all had wives and children.
How many people you’ve killed, that’s how many families you’ve destroyed!”
The indifferent words were spoken by the puppet master.
But these words didn’t move Ye Tian…
“Aren’t you the same?”
Ye Tian coldly responded, causing the puppet master to pause in surprise.
After a long moment, the puppet master continued to speak!
“King of the Night, what did you find in the tomb?”
Ye Tian certainly wouldn’t tell the truth, he merely said, “Everything in the tomb chamber has been moved by you, what could there still be to find?”
This remark hit the mark, and the puppeteer did not deny it any longer.
“True, I took everything from the tomb chamber, except for that useless skeleton!
I controlled all the tomb guardians to serve me, but unexpectedly, today you have destroyed them all!
But this empty tomb has nothing left, so these tomb guardians are no longer of any use!”
The puppeteer spoke at length, but he didn’t realize that the most valuable thing in the ancient tomb was actually the skeleton.
Unfortunately, even if one can freely use the force of nature, without the ability to see through, one can’t find clues on the skeleton; who would have thought that someone could tattoo the inside of the bones?
“Of value?
You have controlled so many people, what are they to you in the end?”
Ye Tian questioned, but the puppeteer’s words immediately became more wild!
“What are they?
In my eyes, all people are puppets, all live for me!
King of the Night, including you!”
Although Ye Tian couldn’t see the puppeteer’s face, his words sent chills down one’s spine.
Even Ye Xuong, who was battle-hardened, was somewhat moved…
“Boss, this guy!
So weird!”
Ye Xuong had never seen a person whose only remaining part could talk, surpassing his common sense!
More importantly, the one behind the scenes controlling the puppets must be a very troublesome person, and he obviously had no regard for human life!
“Including me?
Can you really manage that?”
Ye Tian spoke unflinchingly, his words showing he wasn’t taking the puppeteer seriously, then the talking skull began to laugh wildly!
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
A wave of arrogant noise burst into the ears, shaking the entire forest, causing the resting birds to also flutter their wings and fly out of the forest.
“Whoosh!”
Ye Xuong couldn’t stand it anymore, and with a fierce stomp, he crushed the talking head into a pulp, finally stopping the chilling laughter.
But even so, Ye Xuong still felt a chill down his spine, because the enemy before him was truly terrifying!
“Clack clack clack…”
Seeing that the puppeteer did not speak again, Ye Tian gently shifted his steps and left the forest where the Jiangcheng ancient tomb was located.
Ye Xuong also followed closely, traversing the streets of Jiangcheng with Ye Tian.
Before long, the two returned to the stronghold of the Night King Hall, where the other powerhouses of the Night King Hall were unaware that Ye Tian and Ye Xuong had ever gone out.
“Boss, this enemy is a bit tough, should I send some guys to check it out?”
Ye Xuong volunteered, but Ye Tian simply waved his hand.
“This person is formidable, capable of creating puppets.
If those in the Night King Hall were controlled by him, the consequences would be unimaginable; therefore, let’s hold back for now, and act only after I’ve devised a strategy!”
Ye Tian stated directly, and Ye Xuong immediately took the command.
For Ye Tian, the urgent priority was not to investigate who or where the puppeteer was, but to hastily copy out the map he had obtained from the skeleton in the ancient tomb.
The puppeteer had gone to great lengths, controlling dozens of puppets and emptying everything in the ancient tomb; his aim was definitely not to protect Jiangcheng, but to find something.
Sadly, the puppeteer found nothing, but Ye Tian had seen the map…
An item even the puppeteer was interested in but failed to find, Ye Tian naturally wanted to know what it truly was.
“Ye Xuong, I’ll be secluding myself in the room for some time, guard it for me and don’t let anyone in!”
Ye Tian ordered Ye Xuong, who immediately accepted the command.
Thus, Ye Tian slowly entered his room in the Night King Hall.
After ensuring Ye Xuong was guarding outside, Ye Tian tightly shut the doors and windows.
Then, Ye Tian took out a sheet of rice paper and started drawing the map he had memorized.
Initially, in the ancient tomb, Ye Tian had forcibly memorized the map, but such memory is temporary; the longer the time passed, the more likely Ye Tian could forget it.
Therefore, Ye Tian had to quickly draw out the map!
Through forcefully memorized details, Ye Tian carefully drew out the map from the inner side of the skull’s bones, and to be absolutely sure, he drew very slowly.
It took him over two hours to complete the map!
After the map was finished, Ye Tian still closed his eyes to reflect, pondering whether he had remembered wrongly.
After repeatedly deliberating, Ye Tian could finally relax.
The map he had drawn was indeed the one inside the skeleton’s bones!
Gazing at his own creation, Ye Tian exclaimed in astonishment…
It was almost a divine masterpiece to draw such designs inside someone’s bones!
But what exactly was the place depicted on this map?
Ye Tian carefully studied the characters on the map; these were not ordinary characters but a strange script he had never seen before!
