Transmigrating to Douluo Continent, A Moment of Godhood and Demonic Power

Chapter 164 Strange Encounters in the Stars (3) - A Surprise Attack from the Underworld

"Little one, do you know where your home is?" Qian Yuhan asked softly.

The jade swan nodded and walked in one direction.

Qian Yuhan smiled and stopped it, "Oh, don't rush, don't rush. How about I take you home tomorrow morning? We need to rest now. We just treated your wound, and you need to rest to heal faster..."

Jade Swan obediently walked back to Qian Yuhan and sat down beside her. Clearly, Jade Swan had already trusted that Qian Yuhan and the other person would not harm her, and had lowered her guard, having been won over by the healing pill.

Qian Yuhan examined the Jade Swan's wounds, with Ouyang Luoxue helping him from the side.

Ouyang Luoxue noticed a familiar dark red swirling pattern near the wound on the right wing of the jade swan.

"Yu Han, look at this..."

As Qian Yuhan examined the other wounds on the Emerald Swan, Ouyang Luoxue patted Qian Yuhan's shoulder and pointed to the familiar pattern, saying, "Doesn't this pattern look familiar to you...?"

Qian Yuhan shifted her gaze to the wound that Ouyang Luoxue had pointed to, and frowned.

"This...this is the same pattern as the one on the crazed soul beasts during the beast tide in Yelin City!"

Qian Yuhan murmured, and then the two looked at each other.

"Could this jade swan be like those soul beasts?" Ouyang Luoxue asked.

Qian Yuhan shook her head. "I don't know either, maybe it's related. But this jade swan is seriously injured, unlike those soul beasts that went berserk and lost their minds. Strange..."

Just then, a sinister laugh came from afar—

"Hehehe, so you were hiding here... We searched so hard for you, hehehe—"

Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue reacted very quickly, summoning their martial souls...

Moonlight dappled through the shadows of the trees, creating silvery fragments. Ice crystals continuously condensed at the tip of Ouyang Luo's Ice Spirit Staff. Qian Yuhan's Light Divine Sword radiated a holy light, and his soul power surged, ready for battle at any moment!

&34; Thirty steps to the northwest! &34; Ouyang Luoxue swept her staff horizontally.

The "Frost Domain" was activated instantly, freezing three Nether Wolves that sprang out from the decaying leaves.

These jet-black soul beasts had eerie green flames flickering in their eye sockets, and their bodies were all covered with dark red vortex patterns!

A piercing laugh echoed from the treetops, and it never stopped.

Two figures in black robes slowly emerged from the darkness. The gaunt man on the left was shaking a blood-red bell, while the old woman on the right had a three-eyed toad perched on her shoulder.

Qian Yuhan whispered, "Luo Xue, this person doesn't have good intentions. Be careful!"

Ouyang Luoxue hummed in agreement and began circulating her soul power within her body. Although the two people in front of her were not much stronger than them, they still gave off a terrifying feeling.

"Who are you?!" Qian Yuhan asked, mustering her courage.

The gaunt man holding the blood-red bell on his left spoke up, "Hehehe—kid, are you talking to us?"

"if not……"

The man was also taken aback, seemingly not expecting Qian Yuhan to say that. He glanced at the old woman beside him, and the two exchanged a look and began to laugh together. After laughing for a while, the man said:

"Kid, you're quite interesting. We two are actually human-level Soul Control Guardians of the Chaos Sect!"

"The Chaos Cult? The Soul Control Guardians? What are these...?"

After hearing the other party introduce themselves, Qian Yuhan became even more confused, as he had no idea what the Chaos Sect was.

"Kid, you don't need to know who we are, hehehe, because today you and this little girl next to you are all going to...die!"

The man chuckled and spoke slowly, his pace slowing as he went on…

"Why waste so much time talking? Use your Blood Puppet Bell to finish them off quickly. Take this Emerald Swan back immediately. It's a soul beast that can resist chaotic energy; we need to take it back and study it as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll mess things up..."

The old woman who had been silent all along spoke up at this moment.

Both of them spoke loudly, so Ouyang Luoxue naturally heard what they were saying. Upon hearing the words "Blood Puppet Bell," her pupils contracted, and she murmured, repeating, "Blood Puppet Bell...it sounds so familiar..."

Qian Yuhan asked, "What, you've heard of Luo Xue?"

Ouyang Luoxue pondered for a few seconds, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and whispered, "The Blood Puppet Bell comes with the Big Dipper Blood Puppet Array. Each ring strikes the soul. When it rings seven times, it can control the soul of the person in the array, turning them into a puppet... We must break the array before the bell rings seven times! He should make these Nether Wolves take their positions. We need to find the alpha wolf at the array's eye!"

"Big Dipper Blood Puppet Formation, activate!"

The emaciated man spoke slowly in his hoarse and deep voice.

He raised his arms, which were like withered branches, and gently shook the blood puppet bell in his hand, which exuded an eerie aura.

The bell rang for the first time!

As the blood-red bell rang for the first time, a mysterious and unpredictable power began to spread around them.

First, a powerful magnetic field was formed, faint and seemingly nonexistent. Then, the ground began to emit streaks of bright red light, as if blood was flowing underground.

Gradually, these lights converged into a huge blood-red array, shimmering with a chilling light.

Standing in the center of the formation, Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue felt a sudden dizziness before their eyes, and their minds went blank.

However, Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue were not much weaker than the man opposite them, and they quickly adjusted their condition and recovered.

The first ring of the bell posed no threat to them.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the formation, the seven Nether Wolves, which were already extremely ferocious, became even more agitated.

The green flames in their eye sockets suddenly surged, like burning will-o'-the-wisps.

Clearly, under the blessing of the Big Dipper Blood Puppet Array, the strength of these Netherworld Wolves has been greatly enhanced and improved.

Then, as if receiving some mysterious command, the seven Nether Wolves acted swiftly, forming a Big Dipper formation to tightly surround Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue.

Just then, the two suddenly noticed that one of the ghost wolves was somewhat different from the others.

This is actually a rare mutated Netherwolf—a Three-Eyed Netherwolf!

Suddenly, the vertical pupil in the center of its forehead opened, and a dazzling beam of petrifying light shot out from it, flying straight toward Ouyang Luoxue.

Ouyang Luoxue reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack with a swift movement.

However, the petrifying beam of light merely grazed her hair, but even so, the terrifying energy it contained sent a chill down her spine.

Even more terrifying, the petrifying beam struck an ancient giant tree behind Ouyang Luoxue.

In an instant, the entire ancient tree seemed to be under a spell, transforming into a gray-white stone sculpture, lifelike, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

Faced with such a crisis, Ouyang Luoxue was fearless and shouted:

"Ice Cage!"

Immediately, her third spirit ring shone with a dazzling purple light.

As the light shone, six enormous hexagonal ice pillars rose from the ground like bamboo shoots, carrying a sharp chill as they hurtled towards the Nether Wolves.

However, to everyone's surprise, the fourth Netherwolf opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of black mist.

This black mist was extremely corrosive; as soon as it came into contact with the ice, it began to erode it frantically, making a "sizzling" sound.

Qian Yuhan raised his sword and unleashed a dazzling slash of light, which flashed across the sky like lightning and cleaved through the thick fog in front of him.

At the same time, he slit the throat of the fifth wolf in the fog.

However, in that instant, the sixth Netherwolf's sharp, hook-like claws, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, pounced straight at the Emerald Swan cub.

In the blink of an eye, Ouyang Luoxue shouted and slammed her staff hard into the ground.

In an instant, countless sharp ice spikes shot out like arrows, hurtling along the ground toward the sixth Netherwolf.

A crisp cracking sound rang out as the ice spike struck the Nether Wolf accurately, instantly freezing it into a crystal-clear ice sculpture.

At the same time, the sound waves emitted by the Soul Control Bell also froze for a moment.

"Ring ring..." The second ring sounded.

Qian Yuhan felt a moment of dizziness, but after shaking her head, she felt herself clear-headed.

"Now!"

With Qian Yuhan's shout, five identical luminous shadow clones of him leaped high into the air at the same time, like five golden streaks of light, each rushing off in a different direction.

Qian Yuhan's true form cleverly used this cover to instantly appear behind the alpha wolf, which was located at the center of the formation and was clearly stronger than the other six Nether Wolves.

Just as Qian Yuhan's longsword was about to pierce the wolf's head, something unexpected happened—

The target that was so close suddenly turned into a scarecrow covered in silver needles in the blink of an eye!

"What!" Qian Yuhan was shocked upon seeing this and thought to herself that something was wrong.

Before he could react, the real Netherworld Wolf King had already silently emerged from the ground.

It opened its blood-red maw, revealing two rows of sharp fangs, and its pair of green eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

Immediately afterwards, the Netherworld Wolf King swung its sharp claws with lightning speed, fiercely grabbing at Qian Yuhan's left shoulder.

With a piercing tearing sound, Qian Yuhan's left shoulder was instantly ripped open, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Yu Han!!" Ouyang Luoxue shouted.

The golden-red blood, like burning flames, splattered onto the ground. Wherever this golden-red blood touched, plumes of black smoke immediately rose, emitting a constant hissing sound, as if being eroded by some mysterious force.

"Hehehe, the second ring made you mistake the scarecrow I just placed in the formation for the wolf king at the center of the formation, hehehe..." the man laughed.

"This blood...this is the bloodline of light?" The old woman, observing from a different angle, exclaimed excitedly, "Capture him alive! Handing him over to the leader will be a great achievement for us!!"
