Chapter 359: Chapter 356 Fish-Dragon Transformation

"Fish-Dragon Transformation."

Ye Xuan tapped his foot and leaped up, slapping out with a palm. Behind him, a phantom dragon tail appeared, and his entire body released a dragon shadow. With a flash of the dragon shadow, Ye Xuan moved forward a certain distance in the blink of an eye. He flickered dozens, hundreds of times in rapid succession, leaving behind a dense trail of residual dragon shadows.

This move was the Sixth Form of Dragon Essence Palm, the most powerful form of the Second Level, containing astonishing power. Now, Ye Xuan was using it both to attack and to escape, making it seemingly unstoppable.

Puff, puff, puff!

Dragon shadows covered the ground, a gigantic fire dragon swallowing several dragon shadows with formidable might. However, Ye Xuan’s true body had already advanced a considerable distance, dragon wings unfurling behind him, his speed notching up significantly.

"Elder Sima!"

Seeing Ye Xuan on the verge of escaping, Long Guihai was immediately both shocked and furious. If Ye Xuan were to escape, what face would he have left to stand upon this world? Even a Half-step Demon Venerable had made a move, such a grand display, so many experts, and yet letting Ye Xuan escape?

"Hmph, it won’t be that easy!"

A gleam flashed in Elder Sima’s eyes, demonic power surging around him as a pair of black wings extended from his back. With a powerful flap, he shot towards Ye Xuan like a black meteor.

Seeing this, Long Guihai also spread his dragon wings and followed.

The three of them chased and fled through the forest, their large wings fiercely beating, whipped up a violent gale through the trees.

"How is this boy’s cultivation so unremarkable, yet his speed so fast? Especially those dragon wings on his back, they enhance his speed by such a great extent?"

Chasing Ye Xuan for a while, Elder Sima’s eyes also revealed a surprise. A mere Fifth-Grade Demon King should not be able to escape his grasp, yet Ye Xuan’s speed was not any slower than his own. He could feel an especially strong fluctuation from that pair of dark gold dragon wings, at least much stronger than the Demon Dragon Young Master’s wings.

"I remember this boy had only Upper Grade Innate bloodline, how can his dragon wings be stronger than my Supreme Innate bloodline?"

Long Guihai’s expression grew dark. In his eyes, Ye Xuan was nothing more than an ant, consistently ahead of him, but no matter what, an ant was still an ant, and no matter how strong, it could not have potential comparable to his Supreme Innate bloodline.

But now, it seemed to be not the case.

"Upper Grade Innate bloodline? Absolutely not, this boy is at least of Supreme Innate bloodline. The Demon Energy in him is much purer than yours, which suggests that his bloodline level ranks above yours." Elder Sima’s gaze was sharp; he had practiced a method to probe and discern auras. While others might have a hard time spotting what was amiss with Ye Xuan, he had already seen it after his recent observation and engagement.

"What?"

Long Guihai’s face showed disbelief. His bloodline level higher than his? He didn’t think Elder Sima would intentionally make such unfounded remarks. The latter must have observed something and been certain before speaking. So, could Ye Xuan’s bloodline level truly be higher than his own?

To strengthen their bloodline, members of the Demon Clan had only two methods: inheritance and devouring. It clearly wasn’t the latter for Ye Xuan; acquiring such a powerful bloodline through devouring would take a long time, and Ye Xuan was still young. It was more likely the first.

Inheritance.

But if it was inheritance, from whom did Ye Xuan inherit such a strong bloodline? Except for the nearly impossible bloodline mutation, it had to be passed down from his parents. Could Ye Xuan’s parents be of the Demon Clan with powerful bloodlines?

It was evident that Ye Xuan’s race seemed to be of the Demon Dragon Clan, which at the very least was of Supreme Innate bloodline, or even higher...

"Could it be?"

Long Guihai’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had come to a startling realization. As the light flickered in his eyes, he became more certain that his guess was likely correct.

"What is it?"

Sensing something off about Long Guihai, Elder Sima couldn’t help but ask.

"I think I might guess this boy’s identity."

A serious expression surfaced on Long Guihai’s face as he looked at Elder Sima. "The Demon Dragon Clan, although spread throughout other areas of the Tiannan Region outside Sky Demon Mountain, does not produce strong bloodlines. Those scattered elsewhere are just shrimps and crabs, incapable of bearing powerful bloodlines."

"Within Sky Demon Mountain itself, the one who dominates the Demon Dragon Clan with a bloodline that comes close to the Holy-grade, there’s only one person."

A sharp glint flashed in Long Guihai’s eyes.

Hearing this, Elder Sima initially blinked, then his eyes brightened, exclaiming, "Are you referring to the one in Ice Prison? But that person, it seems, doesn’t have any offspring..."

Elder Sima’s brow furrowed deeply.

Seeing this, Long Guihai let out a cold laugh. "Have you forgotten about that little bastard?"

"That little bastard?"

Elder Sima’s face turned even more astonished. "Wasn’t that small family from the Tiannan Region already annihilated? That little bastard, along with that adulterer, were killed and wiped clean. Furthermore, that bastard was far away in the Tiannan Region, how could he possibly come here and become such a terrifying genius in such a short time? I don’t think it’s him."

"All things are possible."

Long Guihai shook his head, "Indeed, that treacherous husband died that year, but that little bastard might not have, and remember my father said they didn’t exterminate that little family back then. And don’t forget, this boy’s surname just so happens to be Ye."

Hearing this, Elder Sima’s eyelids twitched. He already believed part of what Long Guihai had said. Although it still seemed somewhat incredible, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

"Whether it is him or not, we’ll know once we catch the boy and ask."

Elder Sima stopped hesitating, made a hand seal with his hands, and suddenly a Blood Seal appeared on his forehead. In the next moment, the veins and blood vessels on the surface of his body bulged visibly as blood flowed rapidly through them, heading towards the wings on his back.

A pair of black feathered wings were soon dyed with blood, turning into a pair of blood wings. As the color changed, Elder Sima’s speed also surged dramatically. His figure shot up into the sky and then dove down from above, locking onto Ye Xuan’s trail.

The distance between them was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn, he’s almost caught up."

Ye Xuan could feel Elder Sima rapidly chasing him from behind, whose speed had clearly increased dramatically and was much faster than his own.

If this continued, no matter how he changed direction, he would eventually be caught. Having fled for so long, it would be frustrating to be caught in the end.

"Boy, you cannot run away. Surrender!"

Elder Sima urged his demonic power, forming a hand seal. A scorching wave spread instantly, and that crimson half-step Demon Essence vaguely coalesced into a fiery eagle, crying out into the sky with a long screech.

Knowing he could no longer evade, Ye Xuan also stopped moving. Further escape would mean he’d definitely be attacked from behind by Elder Sima and injured. In that case, it was better to fight with all his might; there might still be a chance.

He drew the Spiritual Edge Sword, ready to confront his opponent.

"Stubborn."

Seeing Ye Xuan still wanted to resist, Elder Sima’s expression turned cold. His entire figure flashed and disappeared, then merged into the fiery eagle, shooting towards Ye Xuan like an arrow released from a bow.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a crimson fiery python made of demonic power appeared out of nowhere behind Ye Xuan, like a stunning rainbow, and collided heavily with the fiery eagle.

Bang!

Flames burst forth like rings of splendid fireworks. In that blaze, Elder Sima was thrown backwards, looking quite disheveled with slightly singed hair and clothes, clearly at a disadvantage.

"Who?"

Elder Sima’s face turned ugly, looking toward the direction from which the demonic power fiery python had come.

"Me."

No sooner had the voice fallen than Yu Yi appeared in that direction, looking at Elder Sima with a bit of a cold smile.

"Why have you come back?"

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, but then his soul power sensed an even stronger presence arriving.

"I didn’t come back alone. You saved me, I can’t just ignore the favor."

Yu Yi smiled, standing next to Ye Xuan. In the instant after she appeared, two slender figures in red clothes showed up atop a large tree behind them.

One was Honglian, who Ye Xuan had rescued a few days ago, and the other was a very beautiful woman with a familiar and formidable aura, who was none other than the Huoyou Demon Venerable.

"So, it’s you, Huoyou Demon Venerable. I did not expect you to come here."

Elder Sima’s pupils filled with a hint of wariness. Huoyou Demon Venerable was recognized as the one most likely to break through and become the third Demon Venerable in the Sky Demon Mountain, and her strength was naturally extremely formidable.

Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, she had arrived on the scene and saved Ye Xuan.

"My direct disciple was captured, shouldn’t I come? I don’t trust others with the job; naturally, I have to come and see for myself. And yet, to my surprise, not only someone else was targeting my disciple. Elder Sima, how do you explain this?"

Huoyou Demon Venerable’s beautiful eyes were exceptionally cold. She had learned the full story from Yu Yi.

"Huoyou Demon Venerable, I advise you not to meddle in this matter, or the consequences will be more than you can bear."

Just as Elder Sima was about to defend himself, Long Guihai arrived, laughing coldly, his words showing complete disregard for Huoyou Demon Venerable.
