Chapter 2717 - 2706: Rescued Again and Again

As Ye Chenfeng and Skyhawk were conversing telepathically.

The menacing aura of the first Blood Puppet, at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, grew increasingly intense, and a continuous whimpering sound emitted from its throat.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao stood in front of Ye Chenfeng, as they had promised to protect him, and indeed they lived up to their words.

Even knowing they might not be a match for the Blood Puppet, they didn’t waver and stayed right in front of Ye Chenfeng.

This made Ye Chenfeng feel a sense of goodwill towards the two of them.

Yet, Skyhawk’s voice sounded again: "Master, if the Blood Puppet was crafted by the Chaos Demon Emperor, then it should be different from ordinary Blood Puppets; the blood of those he crafted would be highly poisonous, especially its blood, which is lethal enough to kill a Middle Stage Divine Emperor."

The first Blood Puppet at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm advanced slowly, yet suddenly, its chest autonomously exploded with a blood mist, and the blood surged toward Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao.

Although Ye Chenfeng was listening to Skyhawk, his eyes remained fixed on the Blood Puppet.

Noticing the blood mist erupt from the Blood Puppet’s chest, he was the first to react, placing his hand directly on Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao’s shoulders, shouting, "Quick, retreat."

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao, though confused and unaware that the Blood Puppet’s blood was poisonous, instinctively followed Ye Chenfeng’s lead and retreated.

The blood from the first Blood Puppet eventually hit the ground.

A continuous "sizzle" sound arose in the air, and as the blood fell to the ground, it released plumes of white smoke and a pungent odor.

This puzzled Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao, who glanced questioningly at Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng explained: "This Blood Puppet isn’t an ordinary one, have you heard of the Chaos Demon Emperor?"

"This should be the tomb of the Chaos Demon Emperor, the Blood Puppets he crafted have blood that contains potent toxins, enough to poison even a Middle Stage Divine Emperor to death."

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao had read about the Chaos Demon Emperor in ancient texts but knew little beyond the fact that the Blood Puppets’ blood was supposed to be harmless.

Yet, the evidence before them was undeniable, and they understood Ye Chenfeng had no reason to lie about this.

If they had been touched by the blood of the first Blood Puppet, wouldn’t they have died from poisoning? Had Ye Chenfeng saved them again?

When Ye Chenfeng witnessed the blood mist erupting from the first Blood Puppet’s chest, he noted its chest was intact, suggesting it was an attack method.

Although this Blood Puppet lacked consciousness, it seemed capable of sensing whether its attack was ineffective.

Its emotions became agitated, possibly due to its failure to kill its target for the first time.

Meanwhile.

A pair of blood-red hands extended from the pool, and the second Blood Puppet emerged.

The second Blood Puppet, also at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, moved out of the pool and joined the first.

The two Blood Puppets advanced simultaneously toward Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao.

The air was filled with residual blood shadows, moving at an astonishing speed beyond Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao’s ability to track.

Even though Ye Chenfeng’s powers hadn’t returned, his eyes could still trace the movements of the two Blood Puppets.

He sensed that the recovery period of the Dark Python’s blood would soon end, allowing him to regain his powers.

Deciding against retreating into the small world within the Chaos Ring with Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao, he sent a telepathic message to Skyhawk: "Take action!"

Although Skyhawk was now just a head, his power remained in the Late Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm.

Just as the two Blood Puppets approached, Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao braced for a final stand.

However.

At that moment.

A shadow swiftly flew past.

Following two loud "bangs," the two fierce Blood Puppets had their heads explode instantaneously, and their bodies fell slowly to the ground.

This unexpected turn of events left Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao momentarily stunned, especially upon seeing Skyhawk’s head, where a sharp gleam flashed in their eyes.

Although Skyhawk, now only a head, wielded power in the Late Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, he was slightly weaker than true experts of that level but far stronger than those at the Initial and Middle Stages, rendering the two Initial Stage Blood Puppets insignificant.

After dealing with the two Blood Puppets, Skyhawk’s head hovered beside Ye Chenfeng and reported, "Master, it’s done."

Ye Chenfeng gave Skyhawk a calm nod.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao gradually understood the situation; the head belonged to Ye Chenfeng. They hadn’t realized it had been following in the shadows all along.

They found themselves increasingly unable to see through Ye Chenfeng, their hearts filled with admiration. No wonder Ye Chenfeng, at the Earth God Realm, could survive in the Upper World—the planning behind each step he took was evident.

If they had been plotting against Ye Chenfeng, they wouldn’t have lived long enough to act, as Skyhawk would have dealt with them first.

Though they had claimed they would protect Ye Chenfeng, they discovered he was guarded by a Late Stage Divine Emperor—though just a head, still boasting considerable strength.

Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao blushed, realizing how Ye Chenfeng had repeatedly saved them, deepening the debt of gratitude they owed him.

Just as Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao were about to speak.

The pool started bubbling more intensely, and this time, two pairs of blood-red hands emerged simultaneously.

Two Blood Puppets surfaced together, emitting a stronger malevolent aura, and as they rose, the stench in the air intensified.

The aura of these two new Blood Puppets was at the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, a level higher than the previous ones.

Yet it remained uncertain how many Blood Puppets lay within the pool and the level of the strongest among them.

If a Blood Puppet at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm existed, even if Ye Chenfeng’s powers were restored, it would be a difficult battle.

But the two Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm Blood Puppets that emerged posed no challenge for Skyhawk.

Without Ye Chenfeng’s command.

Skyhawk’s head launched at the two Middle Stage Blood Puppets, effortlessly dispatching them.
