Chapter 513: Chapter 508: Greed

With the emergence of the Evil Dragon Jade, Ye Xuan suddenly attracted no attention; after all, compared to the treasure of the Evil Dragon Temple—the Evil Dragon Jade—the value of the Thunder Brilliance Bow was much smaller.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the one who obtained the Evil Dragon Jade essentially controlled the entire Evil Dragon Temple.

After a fierce competition, the Yun Xiao Saint reached the closest spot to the Evil Dragon Jade.

"It looks like the Evil Dragon Jade is going to end up in the hands of the Yun Xiao Saint. Although he appears gentle on the outside, he is actually ruthless and brutal. If he gets his hands on the Evil Dragon Jade, I’m afraid we will all be in danger."

Ye Xuan was together with Xue Lingzi, Fei Yue, and others. When Xue Lingzi saw the Yun Xiao Saint charging towards the vicinity of the Evil Dragon Jade, his pupils contracted involuntarily, and he immediately became worried.

"There’s no need to worry. The Evil Dragon Jade has been tampered with; it won’t be easy to obtain. I’m afraid the Yun Xiao Saint will not catch the fox but instead cause unnecessary trouble for himself."

Ye Xuan’s face showed no sign of panic. From the moment he had prepared to make his move, he had sensed that something was amiss. Now, his suspicion had grown stronger.

Sure enough, just as the Yun Xiao Saint was about to seize the Evil Dragon Jade, suddenly, the Evil Dragon Jade emitted a bizarre beam of light that swept toward the Yun Xiao Saint with lightning speed.

Boom!

Caught off guard, the Yun Xiao Saint was struck by the strange beam and then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, hurtling backwards.

Seeing this scene, many people were shocked, but even more were delighted. With the Yun Xiao Saint out of the picture, the opportunity had come for the others.

Bang bang bang!

However, their fate was not much better than the Yun Xiao Saint’s. Those with weaker strength were directly killed by the beam emitted from the Evil Dragon Jade, their vitalities extinguished as they turned into mummy-like corpses.

"Quick, retreat!"

Seeing this, everyone was horrified, and they retreated en masse having now witnessed the terror of the Evil Dragon Jade.

But at this moment, Lord Wind, Shangguan Hong, and others sensed that the aura of the Evil Dragon Jade suddenly weakened. It seemed that, after releasing such deadly beams consecutively, it had lost much of its power.

However, they were still cautious, and at this time, someone from the Gentleman Sect’s Inner Sect Elders beat them to the Evil Dragon Jade.

"The power of the Evil Dragon is mine!"

That Inner Sect Elder, possessing Fifth Grade Martial Venerable cultivation, was also considered to be a top expert among the crowd. After seizing the Evil Dragon Jade, he did not experience any rejection, and his face lit up with joy.

Hiss hiss hiss!

However, before the smile could fade from his face, the palm holding the Evil Dragon Jade suddenly turned black. A shocking evil force spread rapidly from his hand, and in the blink of an eye, half of the Inner Sect Elder’s body was corroded by this power.

Ahh!

A non-human scream emanated from the Elder. The blackening half of his body bulged with veins, as if worms were wriggling underneath, and the entire half became grotesquely deformed. Inch by inch, black Dragon Scales covered in dense spikes emerged.

"How terrifying, this Evil Dragon Jade has such a heavy demonic nature."

Xue Lingzi, Fei Yue, and the others all had grave expressions. In just the blink of an eye, the Inner Sect Elder had been thoroughly corrupted, and it looked like he wouldn’t survive.

"How odd, why didn’t the Yun Xiao Saint suffer this invasion of the Evil Dragon Jade when he touched it?" Fei Yue asked, somewhat astonished, to the side.

"I just said," Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered as he spoke, "this Evil Dragon Jade has been tampered with. On it, a very powerful will has been attached, controlling the jade’s power. The Yun Xiao Saint is very strong and also the prized talent of the Daluo Heavenly Palace. I’m afraid corrupting him wouldn’t be an easy task. Therefore, it chose an easier target."

Roar!

After becoming completely darkened, the Inner Sect Elder transformed into a half-human, half-dragon monster, his eyes blood-red, having completely lost his reason.

However, the onlookers surrounding him were still watching intently, apparently not giving up on the idea of possessing the Evil Dragon Jade.

"Kill!"

The Yun Xiao Saint, slightly recuperated after being previously sent flying and spitting blood, turned his gaze back to the Evil Dragon Jade. He could feel that after corrupting the Xuantian Sect Inner Sect Elder, the power fluctuations of the Evil Dragon Jade had weakened significantly. Moreover, his conjecture was similar to Ye Xuan’s. The Evil Dragon Jade hadn’t targeted him earlier, presumably wary of his strength. This demonstrated that the power of the Evil Dragon Jade wasn’t as formidable as imagined.

Pupu pupu!

The crowd that rushed forward had several slain in a few quick strikes, but at the same time, several attacks fiercely landed on the Elder, blasting concave sections into his body.

"Ye Xuan, shouldn’t we make our move now?"

Xue Lingzi watched the battle and then looked at Ye Xuan. His injuries had mostly healed, and his combat strength was about seventy to eighty percent restored. He had the power for a decisive battle. The value of the Evil Dragon Jade was extraordinary. They had to fight for it no matter what.

"I’m afraid it’s not that simple. Let’s wait and see."

Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly. His intuition told him that things might not be as simple as they appeared.

Xue Lingzi didn’t know why Ye Xuan hadn’t acted yet, but since the latter’s judgements had rarely been wrong, he suppressed his confusion and nodded.

Hum!

Just as the puppet controlled by the Evil Dragon Jade was in a precarious state, the Evil Dragon Jade suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light. This light was indescribably blinding and eerie. As the beams spread in all directions, the temple began to shake violently.

Crack crack!

The ground cracked open, and many huge, gruesome bone claws emerged from beneath, followed by the corpses of the Evil Dragon Clan—some were dragon-shaped, others half-human, half-dragon. There were hundreds of them, densely packed.

The eyes of these Bone Dragons flickered with a sinister and bloodthirsty glow, appearing ferocious and evil.

For a moment, the entire temple had become the world of this horde of Evil Dragon Clan skeletons.

Moreover, the breath of these skeletons was mostly on par with human Martial Venerate Experts. So many powerful auras gathered together, forming practically an Evil Dragon Clan army, which was frightening.

With the skeletons having such intense vibrations, one could only imagine how terrifying the strength of their former masters must have been.

At this moment, under the control of the Evil Dragon Jade, it was as if these skeletons had been given a second life. Those blood-red eyes were all fixed on the many human experts in the temple.
