Chapter 1573: Failed Ambush

Don't be fooled by Gui Shou Yi Dao's messy hair covering his eyes; his Divine Sense is extremely sharp.

Ye Liuyun hadn't even gotten close when he suddenly sensed a spatial fluctuation, followed by a very gloomy blade intent.

"Detected!"

The thought flashed in his mind, and Ye Liuyun instantly vanished into the Ninth Layer of void.

Unexpectedly, that blade intent followed him and broke through the void barrier.

Ye Liuyun immediately drew the Demon Slaying Sword and countered with blade intent.

He couldn't see the blade itself; unless he were a blade cultivator, he might not have sensed that subtle blade intent.

"Boom!"

The two blade intents collided; Ye Liuyun's blade intent was superior and blocked that strike.

It was then his Golden Pupil realized that it was a blade aura condensed from Yin Qi.

Ye Liuyun immediately fled far from within the void, and when he reappeared, he was already a great distance from Gui Shou Yi Dao.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Tu sensed that Gui Shou Yi Dao had just launched an attack and asked right away.

"Someone just sparred with me and actually broke my strike!"

Gui Shou Yi Dao cautiously surveyed the surroundings with his Divine Sense while responding to Yan Tu.

"Is it that kid?"

Yan Tu asked.

"Possibly.

Didn't the Underworld God say his blade intent is very strong!"

Gui Shou Yi Dao analyzed.

"So you can't be restrained by him?"

Yan Tu retorted.

Gui Shou Yi Dao snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, I didn't actually swing a blade! I only emitted a blade aura, and that already scared him away!"

Hearing that, Yan Tu laughed, "Indeed, indeed—if you were to swing a blade, no one could stand against it!"

If Gui Shou Yi Dao can be countered by Ye Liuyun, he would use Gui Shou Yi Dao as bait without hesitation.

However, for now it seems that Gui Shou Yi Dao and Ye Liuyun have only tried a move; it's not yet time for him to abandon his comrade.

"That kid has a cloaking garment, but there's a flaw on his back!"

Gui Shou Yi Dao also reminded Yan Tu, asking him to keep an eye out.

Yan Tu nodded and said to Gui Shou Yi Dao, "That kid came up and attacked the strongest among us—you."

Did he sense something?

&or someone leaked our information to him?

Then he asked, "Has that dead bird already perished?

Won't it betray us before dying?"

Gui Shou Yi Dao thought it possible.

Nevertheless he said, "Whatever— even if it knows our strength, it must have the ability to break through to succeed!"

"Mm!"

Yan Tu also agreed, and continued to follow the Wild Boar King with Gui Shou Yi Dao.

In fact, Bazuzhizhu was also trailing the Wild Boar King from a distance.

And it was fully aware of Ye Liuyun's earlier ambush on Gui Shou Yi Dao.

It sensed the duel by the vibrations of space and True Essence.

It has now even locked onto Ye Liuyun's position.

However, it hasn't rushed to act, but is patiently waiting for the chance.

Ye Liuyun was also thinking, "How did he discover me?

Could it be the flaw in the cloaking garment?

Then his Divine Sense must also be very powerful!"

After trying once, Ye Liuyun stopped attempting and set his sights on the Wild Boar King.

It was still howling wildly within the Fog Sea, easy to locate; Ye Liuyun didn't take long before approaching the Wild Boar King again.

This time, without waiting to get close, he immediately cast a spell.

Although it was somewhat distant and the spell's effect was faint, it caused the Wild Boar King to let his guard down.

The Wild Boar King had been locked in the furnace for a long time; once released, it frolicked, running and shouting.

If Ye Liuyun weren't wearing Sky-walking Boots, he couldn't catch it.

So its frantic sprint consumes a lot of energy.

Because Ye Liuyun's spell showed little effect, he thought it was just energy consumption and paid little mind.

And as its vitality waned, it convinced itself that it simply lacked training and needed to adapt.

Thus this simple-minded creature kept running like that.

After running for a while, it felt the huge drain and turned back, rushing toward the Nether Ghost Ship.

It intended to return and devour more Yin Souls to replenish its stamina.

Until its realm suddenly dropped from Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Layer Late Stage to Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Layer Mid Stage, it realized something was wrong, halted, and surveyed the surroundings.

Ye Liuyun also knew it had finally realized and was already prepared to flee.

But the Wild Boar King, careless, swept its Divine Sense around, found nothing abnormal, and kept walking back; however, it was no longer sprinting as before.

"This idiot's realm has dropped!"

Yan Tu and Gui Shou Yi Dao kept far away from the Wild Boar King, and at the same time he asked Gui Shou Yi Dao, "How did its realm fall?"

"Did you notice that the beast seemed to have a faint layer of Golden Light on its body?"

Gui Shou Yi Dao asked.

Yan Tu then looked closely.

That Golden Light was not obvious, and it appeared intermittently.

But under his careful observation, it could still be detected.

"What kind of attack is that?"

Yan Tu asked in surprise

Gui Shou also frowned and shook his head.

He also didn't know what attack the Wild Boar King was under.

Ye Liuyun originally intended to take down the Wild Boar King alone.

But Yan Tu and Gui Shou Yi Dao were following too closely; he feared that after being dragged by the Wild Boar King, Gui Shou Yi Dao and Yan Tu would be ambushed from behind, so he could only keep casting curses from afar, slowly grinding the Wild Boar's Yin Soul to death.

The Wild Boar King realized its realm was still dropping, and finally reacted.

It roared and charged around, venting its frustration, but it was of no effect.

Then it started to sprint wildly, trying to evade this attack.

But that Golden Light clung to it like a shadow, always following.

Soon, its realm fell to the Heavenly Venerable Ninth Layer Early Stage.

At that moment, she herself also got impatient.

But when it rushed back to the spot where it had left the Ghost Ship, those Ghost Ships had already sailed away.

"Roar!"

The Wild Boar King was incensed but had nowhere to vent, turning in place a few times, with no energy to absorb and no opponent found.

Even if it used True Essence to shield its life force, it couldn't block Ye Liuyun's curses, so it was completely helpless.

Moreover, its simple mind made it more impatient, and the more hurried its Divine Sense observation, the less careful it was, thus failing to detect Ye Liuyun.

"If this keeps going, that stupid boar will die in vain, and we definitely won't be able to draw out Ye Liuyun!"

Gui Shou Yi Dao was somewhat inclined to rescue the Wild Boar King.

"Hmm, shall we give it a hand?"

Yan Ceng also was about to make a move.

They weren't actually trying to save the Wild Boar King; they just didn't want to waste such a good bait.

Thus, the two of them began to close in on the Wild Boar King.
