Chapter 181 - 178: Sword Dominates the World
As Ling Qianxue and Mu Yan were on the brink of battle, Ye Xuan was already nearing the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl. Just as he reached out to seize it, a fine thread-like line, seemingly transparent, suddenly snatched the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl and yanked it away from him.
Ye Xuan’s expression changed, and following the line with his eyes, he saw the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl flying towards a figure in black robes.
Puppet Demon General.
Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted. Up to this point, there had been three Demon Generals deployed, and according to the information he had gathered from the disciples of the Black Demon Sect, these three were supposed to be the only top-tier experts dispatched by the Black Demon General.
"Boy, you’re still too green to fight with this general," the Puppet Demon General said, sneering as he retrieved the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl. However, his expression turned ugly when he glanced at it and noticed a fine crack on the surface—clearly, Ye Xuan’s arrow had damaged the precious artifact of their sacred sect.
"Damn it, you brat! You’ve damaged the sacred treasure of my sect; I won’t let you off!"
Although this minor damage was still within repairable limits, the cost would not be insignificant. Moreover, if their Lord Bright King discovered the damage to the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, their mission would be far from perfect.
The Puppet Demon General spread his fingers wide and cast the Great Corpse Control Skill again. Black-tinged semi-transparent puppet threads extended from his fingertips like a giant octopus’s tentacles, densely enveloping Ye Xuan.
"Not this move again."
Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened. These puppet threads were notoriously tricky to handle—once touched, escaping them was nearly impossible.
