I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 248 - 226. Spiritual Clothes that have become spirits?

To quickly catch the escaping couple and recover the stolen Fire Seed, the people from the Burning Heaven Temple opted for light and fast travel.

Ten cone-shaped ships, pointed and flatter but seven to eight times larger than a capsule ship, launched from the warship, their tails ejecting pale red streams of light as they submerged into the deep, azure waters of the Eternal Flow Sea.

However, to their surprise, just a few hours into the pursuit, Reynolds noticed that the two fleeing signal sources had stopped.

Half an hour later, a vast blood-black cloud platform made up of ship wreckage, unknown rocks, and lifeform bones appeared nearby.

In the center of the cloud platform, a capsule ship of dark material was quietly docked.

"Must have run out of energy," the blond man chuckled mockingly, leaning casually against the window, looking down. "These idiots probably rushed so much they didn't even check the hull's energy."

"We're close to the Northern Territory Defense Line, Viper sir, I suggest you make it quick."

Reynolds, leaning casually in a nearby seat, looked through the window at the faint blood light emanating from the depths of the sea, and reminded with a warm smile, "Otherwise, if the nearby stationed legions notice something unusual, you won't be able to escape even if you try."

"Kid, mind your own business. I don't need your reminder," Viper snapped coldly, his daily dealings with the Imperial Army made him well aware of the dangers of this place.

There are four major rifts between the Present Realm and the Evil Realm, namely Qitian Sacred Mountain, Evil Dragon Forest, Northern Territory Vortex, and Southern Border Dead Sea.

The first two have been securely sealed, and now only the Northern Territory and Southern Border occasionally suffer invasions from the Evil Clan. It has been quiet in recent years, but the area around the Northern Territory Defense Line is still stationed with an extremely terrifying legion power.

The spot they were at was already on the outskirts of the Northern Territory Defense Line, with legion fleets possibly passing by at any moment.

"I heard Pang Xize was recently trying to capture a sentient A-rank Spirit Paper at the Northern Territory Defense Line," Reynolds suddenly asked. "Do you know about this, Viper sir?"

"Sentient?"

Viper didn't respond, but the nearby blond man questioned lightly, "You mean the Spirit Paper turned into a living thing?"

"It is indeed quite strange..."

"Cough!" The blind old man glanced at Reynolds, giving him a meaningful look with his eyes.

Reynolds gave a slight smile and continued no further, casually asking, "Viper sir, you wouldn't need our help dealing with those two, would you?"

"No need." Viper walked to the cockpit.

Just two Third Rank Spirit Masters, hardly capable of causing any waves.

As the ten cone-shaped ships passed through the cloud layer and into the cloud platform space, Viper calmly ordered, "Fire!"

Heavy weapons, although ineffective against Superior Rank Spirit Masters, still had a very apparent effect on the bodies of Third Rank and lower Spirit Masters.

Countless fierce high-pressure light beams slanted onto the capsule ship, which exploded into pieces after two seconds!

Debris scattered everywhere, igniting rings of fierce fire on the rugged ground around.

"Viper sir, it seems... there's no one inside?" one subordinate said, puzzled, from the cockpit.

Viper's expression remained unchanged; he was not surprised, as the opponents could turn invisible and were probably hiding somewhere on the cloud platform.

"Let's go, find these two little mice and snatch them out." Viper's vertical pupils glinted with a bloodthirsty light as he stepped out of the cabin.

The blond man grinned and followed closely behind.

Reynolds and the blind old man did not move, as Viper and the blond man, one a General Fifth and the other a Third Rank, were more than enough to crush those two fools. It was an absolute overpowering.

Of course, even if Reynolds wanted to move, he couldn't; both he and the blind old man were shackled, as Viper didn't trust them.

"How much longer until the locks are picked?" Reynolds asked the old man.

"Master Reynolds, please bear with it a little longer, give me three minutes."

Viper, dressed in a dark green robe, floated half an inch above the rugged ground with his hands behind his back, slowly drifting forward.

The calm vertical pupils lit up with a blood-red glow as the dangerous eyes scanned the surroundings; his serpent-like pupils were his Spiritual Artifact, which not only could detect life forms but also incited uncontrollable rage and hatred in any life form they gazed upon, prompting them to attack him.

And the moment those two little mice hiding in the shadows couldn't withstand the rage and revealed themselves, that would mark their end.

Although he hadn't mastered the A-rank Spiritual Clothes and was still at General Fifth rank, dealing with two Third Rank was still manageable in an instant kill.

"Viper, it looks like these two idiots have quite the endurance," said the blond man, hands in pockets, nonchalantly following behind Viper, clucking his tongue and shaking his head, "It's been two minutes, and they're still suppressing their fury."

No sooner had he spoken when Viper's gaze sharpened. He turned his head towards a slightly dim area in the distance.

There lay a massive warship wreckage, towering above, casting a large shadow below.

As they approached, Viper keenly sensed faint Spiritual Pressure fluctuations from beneath the wreckage.

Seeing this, he curved his lips into a bloodthirsty grin and slowly drifted towards that direction with his hands behind his back.

"Wow, found them already?" The blond man raised his eyebrows, hurrying to keep up.

What puzzled him, however, was that the figure of Viper ahead suddenly froze, rigid like a statue.

"Viper?" The blond man paused, puzzled.

Viper had no time to address the confusion of his subordinate behind him.

For he discovered that as he arrived over the shadow of the wreckage, some blood-red terrifying entity seemed to surge through the shadow into his foot, climbing up to his heart to rip apart his soul, causing intense pain that invaded his nerves.

He recognized this ghastly entity—it was a Blood Beast, a terror separated from the Evil Power!

Although somewhat surprised, he did not panic. He quickly mobilized his spiritual power to suppress and expel the massive amount of Blood Beast infiltrating his soul.

But just as this thought arose, a force of Spirit Manipulation so powerful that it made it difficult for him to breathe violently assaulted his mind!

The spiritual power that had been more than adequate to counter the Blood Beast was suddenly insufficient. His expression changed slightly, and at the same time, he saw a man's figure slowly emerging from the distant shadows.

The man in white had his bow fully drawn, the black and gold longbow trembling with a dark, crazed glow, continuously expanding, compressing, and converging—its momentum growing increasingly terrifying!

Viper's vertical pupils widened in horror, his breathing grew labored as he sensed the aura of death!

Xia Feng was also somewhat taken aback. He had originally planned to lure Viper into a designated spot, but he had not expected him to walk into that shadow on his own.

There was no blaming him for launching a deadly strike then.

One of the functions of the Nash Holy Bow, the Light Spirit Holy Arrow consumed 100 points of spiritual power to release a level 4 light arrow or 300 points to release a level 5 light arrow. The level 5 light arrow had an extremely terrifying effect on the souls of Fifth Rank Spirit Masters.

And now, his spiritual power stood at 458 points, sufficient to release one level 5 light arrow.

Of course, that alone would not be enough, so he also overlaid the Suzheng Cannon on the level 5 light arrow. The longer the Suzheng Cannon charged, the greater its force, with the ultimate limit capable of destroying the body of a beginning Fourth-Rank Spirit Master, which, of course, would still not harm Viper.

But the Nash Holy Bow could bestow a 500–700% amplification boost on the Suzheng Cannon, the longer the charge, the higher the boost.

Thus, as he intensely charged for nearly three minutes, a terrifying arrow capable of absolutely killing a General Fifth Spirit Master was completed.

Of course, even that was still not enough...

After all, Viper was not a stationary target. If he sensed danger, he would surely run, exert full defense, and even if the arrows shot from the Nash Holy Bow could track, it would be pointless if Viper's speed was sufficient; everything would be in vain.

Thus, to ensure a hit on this Fifth-Rank powerhouse, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong once more employed their repeatedly successful combo technique, Blood Beast's Shadow+ Spirit Manipulation! Catching this Fifth-Rank powerhouse off guard for a few seconds was certainly no issue.

"Wha—" The blond man, seeing Xia Feng suddenly appearing in the distance, was also surprised.

But before he could react, his words abruptly cut off.

With a thunderous boom, the pitch-black light arrow swept through the air like Netherworld's spreading wildfire, roaring like a black dragon twisting through space, devouring whatever lay in its path.

Viper's glowing green vertical pupils slowly widened.
