Chapter 383: The Angry Five Great Clans

Xie Lihou dared not stand on the same side as Ye Lin at this moment; if he dared to claim he was with Ye Lin now, the fury of the other great clans would instantly burn him to ashes.

Just as they were arguing again over the issue of Ye Lin's allegiance, a roar filled with resentment echoed through the heavens.

Plop!

A large black hand rested on the edge of the blood-colored altar, and a surge of thick black Qi shot into the sky, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

The figure of Tsujiaoyao emerged from the black Qi; he no longer possessed even a shred of human appearance, looking exactly like a demon!

Countless twisted, wailing evil souls crawled in and out of his body like maggots, draping him in a layer of soul armor.

His eyes were scarlet as blood, his face green with fangs; as he appeared, the evil souls surged outward like bolts of black lightning, and wherever they passed, all things withered and not a blade of grass grew!

Without the suppression of the Human Emperor Flag, these evil souls displayed their terrifying destructive power for the first time!

"You... all must die... Ye Lin... die!!!"

Intense pain tortured Tsujiaoyao; at this moment, he had lost the ability to think, leaving only the instinct to kill!

Crawling out from the rift, the first thing he saw was Ye Nang and the others in the blood-colored web; his desire to kill was instantly ignited, and he roared as he charged toward them!

"Join forces! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

Ye Nang's voice became extremely shrill from the intense tension.

At this moment, Tsujiaoyao was a genuine Bright Moon Realm expert; those evil souls had bestowed upon him terrifying power!

He roared and threw a punch, and the massive power of the evil souls poured out like an ocean, engulfing everyone.

Under this force, the blood-colored web was directly overturned and annihilated.

"Dark Flame Wall!"

Black flames burned fiercely, and under Ye Nang's urging, they formed a black wall, attempting to block this punch from Tsujiaoyao.

But the moment the fist met the flame wall, the wall was blasted into dissipation, failing to even slow Tsujiaoyao's movement!

Seeing Ye Nang about to be overwhelmed by the fist's force, Ye Zhenbei appeared in front of him; his muscles collided continuously at this moment, emitting a gray, metallic luster.

Clang!

Tsujiaoyao's attack landed on Ye Zhenbei, producing a sound like striking iron and knocking Ye Zhenbei flying, but it failed to cause much damage; Ye Zhenbei brushed the dust off his body and charged back in.

Ye Nang seized the opportunity to strike again, darkness shrouding all things, covering Tsujiaoyao like the night.

Tsujiaoyao roared and tore the boundless night apart!

However, Ye Nang's goal had been achieved; he never expected this strike to stop Tsujiaoyao, he only wanted to obscure the opponent's vision and buy time for the others to strike!

"Now!" Ye Nang shouted deeply.

Ji Yanyin and Xie Lihou had already appeared behind Tsujiaoyao, and acting with them were over a dozen people from the five great clans.

No one chose to flee, because they knew very well that facing such a terrifying existence as Tsujiaoyao, if they scattered and ran, the only outcome would be being killed one by one.

"Heavenly Craft Eight Directions!"

"Lingxiao Sword Art!"

Eight metal spears pierced through Tsujiaoyao's body, leaving eight holes that went straight through, and Ji Yanyin's full-force sword strike nearly sliced off half of Tsujiaoyao's body.

Other attacks followed one after another, riddling Tsujiaoyao's body with holes; it seemed he could not possibly survive.

But the people of the five great clans understood the principle of finishing off an opponent; Jiang Wentian struck at this moment, and a ferocious demonic beast opened its maw, bit off half of Tsujiaoyao's body, and swallowed it!

In just a few breaths, Tsujiaoyao, who had just appeared like a Shura demon general, was left with only a pair of legs standing there.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Solved. It seems he is still a bit inferior to a true Bright Moon Realm expert," Ye Nang said in a low voice.

The others nodded; a true Bright Moon Realm expert would not just stand there foolishly and take a beating.

"No... it's not that simple."

Just then, Zhuge Ni's untimely voice rang out; her black silk blindfold had been removed at some point, and a mysterious light swirled within her double pupils.

No sooner had she finished speaking than the demonic beast that had just swallowed Tsujiaoyao seemed to encounter something terrifying; its huge beast eyes were filled with horror.

Its massive body began to tremble incessantly, and large, bulging lumps squirmed beneath its skin.

"Beastie, what's wrong?" Jiang Wentian asked hurriedly, but the demonic beast, which had previously shared his thoughts, now refused to communicate with him!

A moment later, one of the lumps burst open, and a hideous evil soul roared as it rushed out!

Following that came the second, third, and fourth; dense swarms of evil souls rushed out from the demonic beast's body, converging toward the pair of legs standing on the ground, reforming Tsujiaoyao's appearance.

As for that demonic beast, it had long since been gnawed away by the evil souls until only a hide remained.

The resurrected Tsujiaoyao roared and threw a punch toward Xie Lihou and the others.

Xie Lihou and Ji Yanyin dodged with all their might, barely avoiding the punch imbued with the power of evil souls, but the dozen or so disciples of the five great clans behind them were not so lucky.

Before they could even scream, they were blasted apart by the punch, exploding into a dozen clouds of blood mist.

"This guy, is he immortal?"

Watching Tsujiaoyao, who had been hacked down to just two legs, recover as if nothing had happened, everyone gasped.

"It's not that he has an immortal body, but that the Tsujiaoyao before us is no longer human; he is merely a vessel. What we truly need to deal with are those evil souls!"

Zhuge Ni saw things extremely clearly and judged the current situation at a glance.

The Tsujiaoyao before them was a collection of countless evil souls; they had seemingly killed Tsujiaoyao, but in reality, they had only scattered the evil souls from the collective, and the evil souls could re-aggregate at any time.

After hearing Zhuge Ni's analysis, everyone understood how Tsujiaoyao's resurrection worked, and at the same time, they became even more furious.

"That damn Ye Lin, he took that flag away! Otherwise, we could have continuously used that flag to absorb the evil souls falling off Tsujiaoyao, preventing them from gathering together again!"

"Where on earth did that coward run off to? That damn dog!"

"Don't let me see him again, or I will definitely skin him and pull his bones apart!"

Just as everyone was furious and wished to tear Ye Lin into a thousand pieces, Ye Lin was already carrying the Human Emperor Flag, using the Great Void Technique, and appeared at the rift entrance of the blood-colored altar, leaping down.

"Sacrificial Divine Prison? I'll turn you into a public restroom!"
