Chapter 49: Subduing Yao Ming! Blood Fiend Mark!
Ordinary people would be frozen stiff just by approaching this place.
"Is someone trapped at the bottom of the lake? That's truly suffering……"
Yun Yun looked at the Nine Nether Yellow Springs before her, emitting bone-piercing cold, couldn't help but shiver, her tone full of sympathy.
"Indeed, to endure such pain, they are certainly no ordinary person!"
Yun Yi smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, Yun Yi gently took Yun Yun's hand, leading her to slowly step into the Yellow Springs together.
The yin-cold power below surged toward them wildly.
And the deeper they went, the more terrifying this cold became, almost increasing by geometric multiples.
Even an ordinary Half-Saint entering would likely find it hard to endure this bone-deep cold.
But Yun Yi's entire body was permeated with extremely rich killing qi, like an invisible shield, actually preventing those yin-cold powers from invading even a fraction.
"Are there creatures inside?"
Suddenly, a "splash splash" sound came from the water, as if something was swimming quickly.
Yun Yun's heart jolted, and she subconsciously tightly hugged Yun Yi's waist, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes.
She could feel that a dangerous aura was silently approaching.
However, such close contact with Yun Yi made Yun Yun's face slightly flushed.
The warmth from Yun Yi's body dispelled the yin-cold around Yun Yun, and made her not so afraid anymore.
At this moment, she breathed in the masculine aura on Yun Yi's body, and suddenly thought in her heart, was this becoming a bit ambiguous……
Feeling that this was also quite good.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush, and took this opportunity to hug Yun Yi even tighter.
Yun Yi didn't think too much; at this time his attention was entirely on the direction of the commotion.
In his perception, those movements were made by countless black snakes. These black snakes had slender bodies, black and shiny scales, and emitted a fierce aura.
When they discovered Yun Yi and Yun Yun, they immediately opened their bloody mouths and spat out one water arrow after another.
"Courting death!"
Yun Yi's eyes turned cold, and he let out a cold shout.
In an instant, rich blood-killing qi surged out from within him.
This blood-killing qi was not any common attribute power, but a pure killing qi.
Wherever it passed, it could plunder all vitality!
Those black snakes, under the cover of Yun Yi's rich killing qi, were instantly plundered of their vitality.
Their originally agile bodies became withered, and their life force continuously fed back to Yun Yi.
These black snakes were originally astonishing in number, densely packed and surging toward Yun Yi and the others, as if endless.
But after discovering the terror of Yun Yi's killing qi, the black snakes behind showed fear in their eyes.
They twisted their bodies and retreated in panic, instantly distancing themselves from Yun Yi.
Without the black snakes disturbing them, Yun Yi and Yun Yun continued downward.
Soon, a faint cry for help was vaguely heard.
"Save me……"
The voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, filled with endless pain.
Hearing this cry, Yun Yun tightly furrowed her brows.
"I didn't expect there really was someone trapped below."
Afterwards, the two sped up and sank down.
Finally, they arrived at the bottom of the lake.
Here was full of thick mud and sand, dim everywhere.
As far as the eye could see, no person was seen.
Yun Yi raised his hand and waved, powerful wind and lightning battle qi surged out, lifting the mud aside.
Soon, a figure locked by four thick chains appeared.
This person's body was withered like a skeleton, skin tightly attached to the bones, almost without a trace of blood color.
Seeing this, Yun Yun couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and admired this person's tenacity in her heart.
Even like this, he still wasn't dead.
Only to see those chains continuously emitting yin-cold energy, while that skeleton-like figure was continuously outputting battle qi to resist.
Looking at this, this person didn't know how long he had been imprisoned.
Such torture was indeed more painful than death.
"Save me……"
"You save me, I am willing to let the entire Nine Nether Earth Underworld Python Clan revere you as master."
Below, the skeleton figure spoke with a voice hoarse like ghostly wails and wolf howls.
Every word seemed to exhaust all his strength.
"Who is he, could he be from the Nine Nether Earth Underworld Python Clan?"
"But isn't this the Holy Land of the Nine Nether Earth Underworld Python Clan, how could he be imprisoned here?"
Yun Yun looked at Yun Yi with a face full of doubt.
But Yun Yi hadn't had time to answer when the person below spoke again in a pleading tone urgently, "I am Yao Ming, the former clan leader of the Nine Nether Earth Underworld Python Clan."
"Yao Tianxiao that traitor, to usurp the clan leader position, colluded with outsiders, and imprisoned me here."
"I must get out, kill Yao Tianxiao to avenge!"
In the end, his voice was filled with hatred.
"I will save you."
"But what do you have to make me believe what you said today?"
Yun Yi stared straight at Yao Ming, his expression serious.
"I will definitely keep my word! If I break it, may I be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"
Yao Ming said excitedly, a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Release your soul, and I will plant a mark in your soul."
"If you betray me one day, with a single thought of mine, you will be doomed forever!"
Yun Yi's expression was cold, his tone unquestionable.
Only by planting a soul mark could he be put at ease.
"I agree!"
Yao Ming hesitated not at all; he longed too much to escape this endless torment.
Having spoken, he slowly lowered his soul defenses.
Yun Yi quickly formed seals with both hands, and a beam of blood-red light shot from his fingertips.
As the light flickered, it sank into Yao Ming's soul power, planting a Blood Sha Mark.
The moment the mark was planted, sensing that terrifying killing aura, Yao Ming's soul trembled instinctively, as if encountering something terrible, and a flash of terror crossed his eyes.
He could feel that once this mark fully erupted, it would shatter his own consciousness in an instant, leaving him like a walking corpse thereafter.
Next, a flash of light appeared in Yun Yi's hand as he summoned the Blood Sha Spear.
The Blood Sha Spear bloomed with dazzling blood-red light in the darkness at the bottom of the lake.
Yun Yi then gripped the Blood Sha Spear tightly and thrust fiercely at the Yellow Spring Yin Stone embedded in the mountain rock by chains.
The Yellow Spring Yin Stone could not withstand the power of the Blood Sha Spear, shattering instantly into countless fragments that flew in all directions.
"Hahaha, I'm finally free!"
"Yao Tianxiao, just you wait!"
Yao Ming broke free and laughed excitedly, his voice filled with a thirst for revenge.
But at this moment, his battle qi was floating and his aura weak; even if a Dou Zong came, they could easily kill him.
Seeing this, Yun Yi took out a Dan Pill from his ring and handed it to Yao Ming.
"Take this Dan Pill and recover your battle qi."
Yao Ming looked at Yun Yi gratefully, took the Dan Pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.
The Dan Pill melted upon entering his mouth, and a powerful spiritual energy spread through his body, nourishing his withered meridians and depleted dantian.
Not long after Yao Ming broke the seal, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from above the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
A man with sinister eyes and an old man with a poisonous snake coiled around his shoulder appeared above.
The man's face was gloomy, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Actually broke free..."
The man suddenly struck the lake surface with a palm.
The lake water surged instantly, and huge splashes shot into the sky.
Below, Yun Yi, sensing it, looked up, the corner of his mouth slightly curving as he teased, "Your good brother has come to find you!"
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Yao Ming clenched his fist, flames of hatred burning in his eyes.
Although he had not yet recovered to his peak state, it was not far off.
"Since that's the case, next, prepare for battle!"
As Yun Yi's words fell, he and Yun Yun swam upward.
When they passed through the area where the Black Snake had appeared again, they encountered those Black Snakes.
But this time, those black strange snakes avoided Yun Yi in terror.
