Chapter 317: Chapter 77 True Colours_1

“This…this was all done by Zhu Ziji?”

Looking at the almost unbearable scene below, the old man couldn’t help but speak in shock.

The expression of the young Daoist with the surname Bei also became serious for the first time.

He faintly sensed that he might have made some premature judgments just now.

If this place was truly the battlefield where Zhu Ziji and Wang Ba had fought, then for the battle to reach such an extent, this Wang Ba… was probably far more complex than what he had initially seen!

With this thought in mind, the young Daoist quickly descended, but he didn’t get far before he stopped.

“The power of Yuanci.”

“This is going to be troublesome.”

The young Daoist couldn’t help but frown .

The elder also came to his side, noticed the power of Yuanci present on the ground around them, and immediately said:

“Leave these to me.”

With that said, he immediately summoned several human puppets.

These puppets were not practitioners of the Dao of Five Elements, and quickly moved towards the areas covered by the power of Yuanci.

Under the guidance of the young Daoist, they picked up several items from the ground and quickly returned.

The young Daoist checked each item brought back by the puppets.

Silver hair, blood beads…

But he didn’t speak out.

However, when he picked up a very small and neatly cut piece of meat, he couldn’t help but change his expression.

“It’s the flesh from a leg.”

The elder glanced at it, and as a practitioner of Puppet Dao well familiar with human anatomy down to each muscle, he stated instinctively.

He also added: “The quality of the flesh is very high, it should have been regularly washed by very pure Mana, it seems to be from a Perfect Foundation Establishment …”

“Wait, a Perfect Foundation Establishment?!”

The two of them exchanged a glance, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes!

The young Daoist quickly stood up, flew into the mid-air, and using his abilities, saw many similar pieces of flesh scattered among the rocks and soil.

Seemingly cut apart by Mana.

Under his command, the puppets returned and quickly picked up these bits of flesh.

Though they couldn’t be put back together…

The aura they contained was consistent.

“The smell of the Butcher Dao… there’s no mistake, this is Zhu Ziji!”

“He really is dead!”

The elder couldn’t help but look shocked.

Zhu Ziji’s ability to escape from the brink of death, even among Golden Core Elders, was often praised.

He was good at faking his death to escape.

But looking at him now, he was clearly deader than dead.

The young Daoist, however, had already ascertained the identity of the owner of the pieces of flesh, but his brow was still furrowed.

“Something’s wrong!”

“Something isn’t right!”

The elder couldn’t help but ask: “What’s wrong?”

The young Daoist looked serious:

“There’s no second corpse here.”

The elder’s face changed slightly, then quickly showed an expression of shock:

“You mean…”

“That’s right! Wang Ba might not be dead!”

Thinking of this possibility, the young Daoist couldn’t help recalling his earlier disregarding attitude when he first saw Wang Ba.

Now looking back, he had really misjudged him.

Wang Ba’s ability to hide his strength, and his tenacity, probably surpassed all expectations!

The young Daoist couldn’t help but take a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart:

“We might have been fooled!”

“Wang Ba might be the real one who escaped!”

“No! That’s impossible! I’ve seen his state, he only just managed to survive Foundation Establishment two years ago, even if he progressed rapidly, he couldn’t have been a match for Zhu Ziji!”

Although the elder didn’t like the Butcher Dao, he had to admit that Zhu Ziji dominated among the Foundation Establishment realm, and promptly shook his head in negation.

There must exist an equal or superior to Zhu Ziji, but it definitely couldn’t be a recent Foundation Establishment cultivate, especially a Heresy Cultivator.

The young Daoist didn’t respond, but picked up a small amount of somewhat dull-looking silver hairs that seemed corroded, and placed them in front of the elder.

Speaking calmly:

“You forgot, it is said that he is very good at cultivating Spirit Beasts.”

“This is the hair of a Class II upper-grade or top-grade Spirit Beast.”

“If this Wang Ba suddenly summoned such a Spirit Beast, wouldn’t this be possible?”

Looking at the small amount of hair, the elder hesitated.

If it were just a early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be almost impossible to defeat Zhu Ziji.

But if there was an additional Class II upper-grade or top-grade Spirit Beast, even though the odds are still low, the possibility of success was not completely unattainable.

After all, even though most spirit beasts aren’t that powerful, it couldn’t be guaranteed that there wasn’t a strange Spirit Beast that could precisely counter Zhu Ziji, right?

The young Daoist surveyed the surroundings and then speculated:

“Of course, it’s also possible that a third party intervened and kidnapped Wang Ba, or simply disposed of the body… But the chances of that happening are far too small, almost too coincidental.”

“I still lean towards the idea that Wang Ba is alive.”

“Let’s replay the sequence of events once more.”

“Wang Ba suddenly went out, Zhu Ziji followed him for some unknown reason, and Song Buping trailed behind them.”

The elder nodded.

It was no longer questionable whether Wang Ba appeared or not. Whether it was the timing of the three deaths in succession or the evidence discovered from the battlefield, it was enough to confirm that Wang Ba was indeed here.

“Then, Wang Ba revealed his long-hidden true strength under Zhu Ziji’s pursuit or some other contact, a fierce battle broke out between them. Going by the distribution of Yuanci’s power, the rich Blood Energy from the blood beads, and the condition of the battlefield, it is very likely that both of them exhausted their Mana, and at this point, Song Buping probably took action.”
