Chapter 4119 Dream Demon Worm
s this treasure"Xuan Ying, the Daoist nun, looked at the Monster Subduing Bottle in Ye Bufan's hand, a hot gleam of greed flashing in her eyes. She realized this was the treasure that Old Dao Xuanji h..."This..."
Ye Bufan was stunned at first, then filled with remorse.
It seems I overestimated the sealing ability of the Saint Emperor's domain and underestimated the power of the Chaotic Spirit Treasure. If I had known this, I would have let Xuanyuan Linglong and the other person make a move.
But regret was useless, the Xuanji Emperor had already become a frightened bird, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
I have Xiaoye in my heart, and I don't want to chase after her. I can only wait until later to talk about it.
Although I ran from the Xuanji Emperor, this encounter still yielded some gains.
This confirmed the strength of a Second Rank Saint Emperor, and also tested his own control over space-based movement techniques. Even compared to the Venerables of Xuanji Hall, he was no less inferior.
It's a shame that the Nine Heavens is damaged and unusable for now, so everyone can only fly in the sky.
Two more hours passed, and they had completely left Tiansheng City behind. Ye Bufan chose a secluded valley and stopped there.
The valley wasn't very large, perhaps only a hundred or two square meters. The middle was quite clean and there was a small stream running through it, surrounded by dense forest. It was the perfect environment for a break.
"Alright, everyone, take a break."
Ye Bufan allowed everyone to rest, while he himself took out the Nine Heavens and worked diligently to repair it.
Most of the people around me have already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor, but some are weaker, such as the two girls, Ice and Fire.
Even after dual cultivation, he was only at the early stage of Immortal Emperor. Keeping up with everyone else as they rushed forward was quite a strain on him.
Moreover, the journey is long; it takes about ten days to travel from here to Yao Huang Tian. Such a long trip would be best taken by flying immortal artifact.
Ye Bufan chose a giant stone at the edge of the valley and sat on it, starting to repair the Nine Heavens...
Unseen, two avatars materialized within the dense forest, only to vanish in an instant.
As his strength increased, his skill in refining weapons also improved. In addition, he had a lot of refining materials on hand. After about two hours, Jiutian was repaired as good as new.
Those around them had almost all rested, just as they were about to set off again, a furious roar suddenly echoed from the sky.
"Little brat with the surname Ye, who gave you the guts to dare oppose my Dragon Clan Don't you quickly get down on your knees and beg for mercy!"
The sound was deafening, and it carried a heart-stopping aura of power. It was unmistakably the roar of a dragon.
Everyone present was startled and looked up together. They saw dozens of figures appearing in mid-air.
The first person was an old man with long white hair and a beard, dressed in a yellow robe. Although his appearance was ugly, he exuded endless majesty. He was the Dragon Emperor, Long Ao.
Upon seeing the arrival, Ye Bufan's eyes turned blood red instantly, radiating murderous intent. This was because Long Ao held a little girl in his hand, none other than his daughter, Little Leaf.
And behind the Dragon Clan members stood Su Ruyu, An Yimo, Qin Chuchu and others. At this moment, each of them was tightly bound, their spirits wilting.
Upon seeing Ye Bufan, everyone shouted, "Xiaofan, don't worry about us, run!"
Little Leaf shouted along with them, "Dad, run!"
"Can you run Can you even run anymore"
The Dragon Emperor let out a cold smile and with a wave of his hand, dozens of powerful warriors surrounded the small valley.
Ye Bufan's eyes blazed with fury, his eyes burning like fire: "As the emperor of the dragon race, you dare to attack women and children Have you any shame left"
"Cut the crap! Winners are kings, losers are bandits. When you're dead, what use is face"
The Dragon Emperor held the little leaf, and no matter how it struggled, his arm remained unmoved as a mountain.
"Ye, you little wretch! You ran to the Heavenly Domain and disrupted our Dragon Clan's affairs. You released the remnants of the Fox Spirit Clan and even dared to attack a holy messenger of our Dragon Clan. What crime do you deserve"
Ye Bufan's heart was filled with anger, but he was helpless. His wife and daughter were in the other party's hands, so he couldn't act rashly for fear of endangering them.
"Let my people go, and you can do whatever you want!"
The Dragon Empress smiled coldly: "If you had known this beforehand, why would you have done so This is the consequence of your offense against my dragon clan."
"Alright, here's your chance. If you want me to let them go, you have to die here."
"This..."
A flicker of hesitation crossed Ye Bufan's eyes. He certainly didn't want to die, but under these circumstances, it was hard to find a second choice.
We've been threatened before, but back then there were few hostages and we could handle it ourselves. Now, that's practically impossible.
Setting aside Ryōkō's formidable strength, the fact that they have dozens of hostages alone means the other party wouldn't give themselves so many chances.
Whether it's Su Ruyue and the others or Xiaoye, each one is more important to him than his own life. If he wants to make a move, he must have absolute certainty and no risk at all.
If anyone were to be injured, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"What Are you still going to resist"
Long Huang, speaking, seized Xiao Ye's neck with a large hand, her eyes flashing a menacing glint.
The little guy yelped in pain, letting out a shrill scream.
"No, let my daughter go!"
Lanxi let out a frenzied roar, but unfortunately, he was firmly controlled and unable to move an inch.
Ye Bufan rushed forward like a madman, but was slapped by the Dragon Emperor's wave of his hand, directly flying out a hundred meters.
"This is your final choice. In ten breaths' time, I will break this young girl's neck."
"No!"
Su Ru Yue and the others all cried out in despair, each of them weeping uncontrollably. It was a pity that there was nothing they could do.
"I can take my own life, but how can I trust you that you will let them go after I'm dead"
The Dragon Empress let out a cold smile. "It's simple. I swear by the name of my dragon soul, if you die, I will immediately release them all!"
"Well then, if you break your promise, I won't let you get away with it, even as a ghost!"
Ye Bufan glared at him fiercely, his wrist flipping as the Dragon Tooth appeared in his palm.
"Xiaofan, you can't do this!"
Si Tu Dian Mo and others wanted to step forward to stop him, but he pushed them aside with one hand, then cast an infinite lingering glance at Xiao Ye and Su Ru Yue and the others.
Then, he turned the blade on himself and prepared to plunge it into his own neck.
But just then, a piercing scream suddenly rang out in my ear, followed by everything vanishing before my eyes.
When Ye Bufan regained his sight, he found himself holding the dragon's tooth in his hand. The blade tip was right before him, just an inch away from his throat.
Xuanyuan Linglong, Leng Qingqiu and others stood beside him, looking at him with puzzled expressions.
They truly didn't understand. Just moments ago, he was diligently refining the Sky-Nine Pill, and now he suddenly took out the Dragon Tooth, looking as if he were about to commit suicide.
Ye Bufan broke out in a cold sweat. If he had lingered for just another moment, he probably would have taken his own life.
He glanced at the little thing on his shoulder. It had saved him in a crucial moment.
The little guy at this moment had his eyes wide open, his tail puffed up, and he was staring intently at a butterfly in the distance with shining eyes.
To be exact, it was a bug that resembled a butterfly, with a pair of iridescent wings. However, its head looked more like a tiny monster.
"This is a Nightmare Worm!"
Ye Bufan immediately recognized the origin of this insect. It was none other than the nightmare demon worm ranked seventh on the Demon Seed list.
No wonder I would fall into a fantasy unknowingly, no wonder I would despair and want to commit suicide.
Everything that just happened was fake, but if this knife goes in, it becomes real. I would actually die!
If it weren't for Xiao Budian's timely appearance to wake him up, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
This made Ye Bufan incredibly furious, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted: "Eat it!" she could clearly feel Shui Yueli's feelings for Ye Bufan.Although she could accept Ye Bufan having other women, this kind of thing was best kept to a minimum. Bringing Shui Yueli around might lead t...
