#1096 - Chapter 1096: Stopping

The Blood Nether Orb contained the essence and blood of ghosts and was an extremely filthy object. It possessed a strong killing aura, making it difficult for most people to approach, let alone control and use.

Seeing Wen Yi's spellcasting process, Wen Hou's curiosity prompted him to ask the Elder Cang beside him, "Elder Cang, I am ignorant and have never seen that blood-red pearl. Is it a very powerful magic weapon?"

Wen Hou's voice no longer had the previous antagonism but instead felt somewhat humble.

Elder Cang responded and turned his head, glancing at Wen Hou with great disdain before shifting his gaze away.

"This object is the Blood Nether Orb, a top-grade magic weapon from the Primordial Era. Countless people have spent their efforts and time searching for this orb. I didn't expect your brother to be so capable as to bring this long-lost magic weapon back into the world."

Elder Cang's first half of the sentence lacked any emotion, but the second half unconsciously looked at Wen Yi's back, his eyes filled with satisfied admiration.

Elder Cang's sneer sounded like contempt to Wen Hou, causing him to feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Ye Kong knew the power of the Blood Nether Orb. Now, it seemed, he finally understood why the Nether King had not acted for so long. It turned out that he wanted to wait until most of the Yin Fiend Palace and Heaven Profound Sect disciples had sacrificed themselves before using everyone's crippled bodies and the power of the Blood Nether Orb to transform these people into newly reborn Corpse Puppets!

And although Elder Cang recognized the Blood Nether Orb, he did not know that the Blood Nether Orb had such an evil purpose.

Corpse Puppets could walk and move like normal people, but they lost their minds, had no consciousness, and only obeyed the commands of the person controlling them. They would also recover from injuries, even more tenacious than an unkillable cockroach.

Seeing that the Blood Nether Orb was collecting more and more essence and blood, Ye Kong's figure leaped up, a flash of light under his feet, and he shot towards the Nether King like an arrow leaving the bow.

The Nether King's eyes shifted, and his divine sense sensed Ye Kong's attack. He dodged to the side in an instant, and Ye Kong failed to seize the Blood Nether Orb.

The two faced each other, their eyes met, and a trace of anger flashed in the Nether King's eyes, even a hint of bloodthirsty killing intent, as he glared fiercely at the person in front of him.

Ye Kong was not afraid of the pressure brought by the Nether King's eyes, his clear and cold eyes staring at the Nether King just like that.

The Nether King recognized Ye Kong as the person who had prevented him from obtaining the power of the spiritual body in the Netherworld last time.

"It's you again!" The word "again" seemed to be uttered through gritted teeth.

Ye Kong ignored the Nether King, only focusing his gaze on the Blood Nether Orb in his hand.

The Nether King seemed to notice Ye Kong's gaze and sneered, "It seems you also know what this king is going to do."

The Blood Nether Orb in his hand stopped absorbing the essence and blood of the people below, emitting a dazzling red light.

Ye Kong's figure flashed, quickly closing the distance between the two, and then, with lightning speed, directly tried to forcefully snatch the Blood Nether Orb from the Nether King's hand.

"Heh~ A small trick." The Nether King snorted indifferently, directly grabbing Ye Kong's attacking hand.

With his other hand clenched into a fist, he gathered spiritual energy and punched fiercely towards Ye Kong.

Ye Kong quickly reacted, extending his palm to block the punch.

Two huge waves of energy quickly spread out, and everyone was shocked by the sudden and violent surge of energy, involuntarily taking a step back.

"Not good, that person wants to stop him!" Elder Cang saw Ye Kong's purpose at a glance, leaped up, and rushed towards the two.

Wen Hou had witnessed Ye Kong's strength and did not underestimate him. When he saw Ye Kong take action to stop Wen Yi, he hesitated, never making a move, knowing the gap between himself and him.

But the unaware Elder Cang rushed directly up. Wen Hou had a good plan. I alone cannot defeat you, but you may not be able to defeat the two of us.

Wen Hou also followed Elder Cang.

Because of the Nether King's punch, the distance between him and Ye Kong was widened. At this time, Ye Kong did not give the Nether King any chance, directly using his double fists to dance.

Whoosh whoosh——

In an instant, countless fist imprints attacked the Nether King, forcing him back.

The Nether King originally wanted to free up his hand to block this attack and take the opportunity to seize the opportunity to activate the power of the Blood Nether Orb.

Elder Cang suddenly rushed in front of Wen Yi, displaying the Profound Defense Great Shield Technique.

The aura around him quickly rotated, directly forming a golden shield in front of Elder Cang, directly protecting the rear.

Elder Cang had not fought Ye Kong before and thought that his Profound Defense Great Shield could easily withstand Ye Kong's attack.

Ye Kong was also unrelenting, indifferently saying: "I'll see how long you can defend!" His voice was as calm as the sea, but at the same time, it carried the momentum of a surging wave.

Ye Kong gathered his strength quickly, the spiritual light between his palms flickered, spiritual energy gathered, his fists clenched tightly, and wisps of spiritual energy spread out from the gaps between his fists.

Just as Ye Kong swung his fists, a violent wind arose, and an extremely strong power emanated from his body. He swung his fists very quickly, so quickly that even Elder Cang could only see afterimages.

Countless fist shadows came one after another, and the powerful impact was obviously something that Elder Cang had not expected, as if there were thousands of troops wanting to break through his Profound Defense Great Shield.

Elder Cang gritted his teeth and resisted, but the golden shield in front of him quickly faded, looking as if it would dissipate at any time.

Elder Cang's eyes widened in anger, his eyes filled with the raging fire that had been ignited.

"I have cultivated the Profound Defense Great Shield to this day, and today it is absolutely impossible for me not to be able to block your fists!"

Elder Cang quickly operated his hands again, continuously pouring the spiritual power in his body into the golden shield in front of him. The luster of the golden shield also recovered a little, but after receiving two fist strikes, it looked like it was about to fade again.

Wen Hou arrived in time at this moment, flying to Elder Cang's side, vigorously operating, and a layer of spiritual barrier force directly covered the golden shield, and the defensive degree of the golden shield also increased accordingly, being able to resist the fist shadows.

"Hmph, don't think that I will be grateful to you because you helped me." Elder Cang still insisted on pouring spiritual power, not even having the chance to turn his head, directly throwing a cold sentence to Wen Hou.

Wen Hou did not care about Elder Cang's attitude, but changed his previous attitude towards him and said seriously: "Elder Cang, I believe you have already estimated this person's strength in your heart. Now, you and I are on the same front. If we do not work together, it may be difficult for you to deal with him alone."

If it had been before, Elder Cang would definitely have retorted unhappily, "Who are you looking down on!"

But now, hearing Wen Hou's words, Elder Cang actually felt that there was some truth to them. He was already barely holding on against Ye Kong's fist shadows alone. If Wen Hou had not appeared just now, he would have already suffered a not insignificant injury.
