Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577 Failed To Sneak Up
Despite the messy tangle of hair obscuring Ghosty Knife’s vision, his Divine Sense was sharp.
Ye Liuyun hadn’t even approached when he suddenly sensed a spatial fluctuation, followed by a sinister sword intention.
"We’ve been discovered!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The thought flashed through his mind as Ye Liuyun immediately concealed himself in the ninth layer of the void. Unexpectedly, the sword intention followed him, breaking through the void barrier.
Ye Liuyun swiftly drew his Demon Slayer Blade, countering with his sword intention.
He couldn’t see the physical sword behind the attack, but his experience in swordsmanship allowed him to sense the subtle intention.
"Boom!"
The two sword intentions clashed, with Ye Liuyun’s prevailing and deflecting the strike.
It was then that his Golden Phantom Eyes noticed the blade aura, condensed from Yin Qi.
Ye Liuyun promptly distanced himself from Ghosty Knife, appearing far away.
"What’s wrong?" Yan Tu sensed Ghosty Knife’s recent attack and immediately inquired.
"Someone just exchanged moves with me, managing to break through my strike!" Ghosty Knife cautiously surveyed the surroundings with Divine Sense, replying to Yan Tu.
"Was it that kid?" Yan Tu asked.
"Possibly. Didn’t the Burial God mention his strong sword intention?" Ghosty Knife analyzed.
"Did he restrain you?" Yan Tu asked.
Ghosty Knife snorted disdainfully, "Humph, I didn’t even draw my sword! I simply released a blade aura that scared him off!"
Hearing this, Yan Tu chuckled, "Of course, if you had drawn your sword, no one could have stopped you!"
If Ghosty Knife could be countered by Ye Liuyun, he would have used him as bait without hesitation. But for now, it seemed like both sides were just testing each other, not yet at the point where he would abandon his teammates. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"That kid has an Invisible Cloak, but there’s a vulnerability on his back!" Ghosty Knife reminded Yan Tu, asking him to keep an eye out.
Yan Tu nodded, also asking Ghosty Knife, "He targeted you, the strongest, right from the start. Did he sense something or was our information leaked?"
He then inquired, ’That damn bird, could it have died already? Did it betray us before dying?’
Ghosty Knife thought it was possible. However, he said, "Forget about it. Even if he knows our strength, he needs the ability to break through it!"
"Right!" Yan Tu agreed, and they continued following the Boar King.
Meanwhile, the Eight-Legged Spider was also trailing the Wild Boar King from a distance. It was aware of the earlier encounter between Ye Liuyun and Ghosty Knife.
It relied on the vibration of space and genuine energy to feel the confrontation between the two sides.
It had even locked onto Ye Liuyun’s position.
However, it was not in a hurry to take action, but patiently waited for the opportunity.
Ye Liuyun pondered, "How did he find me? Could it be the vulnerability in the Invisible Cloak? In that case, Ghosty Knife’s Divine Sense is indeed formidable!"
After one attempt, Ye Liuyun decided not to try again. Instead, he targeted the Boar King,
It was still roaring in the Fog Sea, making it an easy target. He caught up with it quickly.
Casting a spell from a distance, although not very effective, made the Boar King let its guard down.
It had been trapped in purgatory for a long time and was now running around, exhausting itself. If not for the Sky-walking Boots, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t have caught up.
The Boar King’s reckless running drained its energy rapidly. Thinking it was just energy consumption due to Ye Liuyun’s spell, it didn’t pay much attention.
As its vitality declined, it thought it was just out of practice and needed to adapt. Therefore, the simple-minded creature continued running, oblivious to the true reason for its exhaustion.
After running for a while, feeling greatly fatigued, it turned back towards the Ghostic Warship.
It wanted to go back and devour a few more Yin-souls to replenish its stamina.
It was only when its realm unexpectedly dropped from the later stages of Sacred Majesty to the middle stages that it realized something was wrong, stopping to survey its surroundings.
Ye Liuyun knew it had finally noticed and prepared to escape.
However, the Boar King, in its carelessness, scanned the area with Divine Sense but found nothing unusual. It continued back, though not as frantically as before.
"What an idiot, his realm has dropped!" Yan Tu and Ghosty Knife avoided the Boar King from a distance, with Yan Tu asking, "How did its realm drop?"
"Did you notice a faint golden light on its body?" Ghosty Knife asked.
Yan Tu carefully observed. The golden light was not obvious, but it appeared intermittently. After a closer look, he could still discern it.
"What kind of attack is that?" Yan Tu asked in surprise.
Ghosty Knife shook his head, also unsure of the attack on the Boar King.
Ye Liuyun originally wanted to take down the Boar King alone. However, Yan Tu and Ghosty Knife were too close behind, and he feared being held back by the Boar King while the others ambushed him. So, he continued to use spells from a distance, slowly wearing down the Boar King’s Yin-soul.
The Boar King, noticing its realm still decreasing, finally reacted.
It roared and thrashed around in frustration, but it was futile.
It then began running frantically again to evade the attack, but the golden light seemed to follow it everywhere, constantly lowering its realm.
Soon, it dropped to the ninth level early stages of Sacred Majesty.
This time, it became anxious.
Upon returning to where it had left the Ghostic Warship, the ship had already departed.
"Roar!"
Roaring in anger but finding no outlet, it spun in place, unable to absorb energy or find an opponent.
Even with genuine energy protecting its life force, it couldn’t resist Ye Liuyun’s spell, completely helpless.
Moreover, in its haste, its Divine Sense observation became less meticulous, unable to detect Ye Liuyun.
"At this rate, that stupid pig will die in vain. It definitely won’t lure out Ye Liuyun!" Ghosty Knife thought of rescuing the Boar King.
"Let’s go help it?" Yan Tu also had the intention to intervene.
They did not want to save the Boar King but did not want to waste such good bait.
Thus, the two began to approach the Boar King.
