Chapter 1013 Tracking the Invisible Man
"you......!?!"
The invisible man looked astonished.
Ye Ge stood on a slender branch with her arms crossed over her chest, the hem of her white robes fluttering in the wind.
He chuckled and said, "What, are you surprised?"
'How is that possible...'
'He was just down there...'
The invisible man suddenly turned around and looked at Night Song on the ground, but she had disappeared without him noticing.
"Invisibility-type superpowers, huh? Very rare abilities." Ye Ge said slowly, "Unfortunately, within the range of my mental vision, I can clearly sense the flow of your soul power."
"..."
The invisible man's face was grim, and he couldn't speak. He subtly exerted force with his feet, clearly wanting to escape.
"Zheng!"
Night Song immediately drew his Shadow Moon Straight Blade and held it to his neck.
"Be honest," Night Song said coldly. "Tell me, who sent you to spy on me? And is this corruption of the Dark Blood related to the people behind you?"
"..."
The invisible man remained silent.
He moved his legs and, ignoring Ye Ge's advice, unleashed his soul power.
"Pfft——!"
Without hesitation, Ye Ge severed his head with a single stroke!
The head rolled to the ground, changing from a transparent state to a solid state. However, Ye Ge glanced at it and realized it was actually a wooden stake.
'Substitution Technique...' Night Song pondered, 'Such a fast casting speed...'
'Hmph, but you can't escape.'
Night Song's mental vision expanded once again.
They quickly located the invisible man's soul power flow.
......
"Da da da da da..."
The invisible man moved swiftly through the city in the darkness.
He unleashed his full power at the peak of the ninth level of the Saint Realm, leaping and traversing rapidly across the top floors of various buildings.
However, the person behind him was even faster!
'Damn, how is that possible?'
The invisible man was sweating profusely and clenched his teeth.
As a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Saint Realm, he was actually being chased by a human at the initial level of the Saint Realm!
What a humiliation...
The invisible man's eyes darkened, and he darted into a city alley.
However, he stopped abruptly after running for a short while.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
"Crow—!! Crow—!!"
Countless black feathers fell before him.
Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, hundreds of black crows, as black as smoke, appeared before him amidst the black mist, blocking his path.
Night Song appeared along with the black mist.
He held a jet-black Shadowmoon Straight Blade, with a crow and a spirit cat standing on each of his left and right shoulders.
His eyes were sharp, radiating a chilling aura, like a black hawk eyeing its prey.
"So, are you still going to run?"
"..."
The invisible man looked back and saw that the alley behind him was completely filled with crows. The streetlights, eaves, treetops, walls... the night sky above was also completely covered by the flock of crows.
There was clearly no way to escape.
"Heh..." The invisible man sneered, "You really think that's all I'm capable of?"
As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Fifth-tier superpower - Wall-penetrating ability!"
He leaped into the water like a fish, and disappeared underground.
Ye Ge's pupils contracted.
"Copy Ability - Stealth and Wall-Passing Technique!"
Ye Ge formed the same hand seals as him and also disappeared underground.
The Invisible Man thought he had escaped Night Song's pursuit and traveled from the surface to the underground space.
When he turned around, he was shocked to find that Ye Ge had followed him. He almost bit his tongue off in surprise.
"What the hell???"
How the hell can you keep up with that?!
What kind of monster is this?!?
"Celestial Technique - Holy Lightning-Induced Flame Burst!"
The Night Singer launched a Holy Thunder Fireball that he had been gathering.
Accompanied by a long, golden arc of lightning, a deep red fireball was launched.
Extremely fast!
It hit the semi-transparent person directly!
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!"
"..."
After a while, the smoke cleared.
Ye Ge stood amidst the smoke and dust, using his spiritual power to detect the other party's presence.
However, he discovered that this place actually had an extremely strong magnetic field.
It actually interfered with his mental power's detection.
"How can this underground space have such a strong magnetic field?..."
"Night Song, look over there!"
Just then, Lingling on her shoulder suddenly called out.
Only then did Ye Ge get a clear view of the entire underground space.
He originally thought that this underground space would be a place like an underground parking lot.
However......
"Kara karara karara..."
The sound of mechanical gears turning could be heard.
Ye Ge frowned slightly.
This is actually an underground factory?!
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
An unidentified liquid was bubbling in a green storage tank.
The machines are running non-stop, sealing bottles and jars one by one.
Everything was fully automated, and there wasn't a single person in sight.
"Is anyone there?" Ye Ge called out.
"..."
No one responded...
"My lord, this doesn't look like a human factory."
The spirit of calamity on his left shoulder spoke.
"Um......"
Ye Ge responded softly and took a stroll around the factory.
His military boots crushed the unidentified crystals of viscous liquid that had formed on the ground, the soles pulling at the ground in thin, thread-like strands of gelatinous substance. The underground space was filled with the pungent smell of chemicals mixed with rotting flesh, and the whistling sound coming from the ventilation ducts sounded like the dying cry of some creature.
Twelve giant centrifuges lay like steel behemoths in the shadows, their rusted gears creaking and groaning in a death throes. Eerie, glowing green tanks were arranged in a bizarre matrix, and boiling black liquid churned behind reinforced glass, the bursting bubbles revealing distorted human faces.
Ye Ge suddenly remembered the underground laboratory she had found in Hundred Souls Town a long, long time ago...
Could it be that......
At that moment, Night Song saw a huge, completely sealed metal can.
There wasn't just one of these sealed metal cans, but a whole row of them, at least twenty or so.
It has a code on it, but it only has numbers.
Ye Ge hesitated for a moment, then swung his straight sword.
"Shh-!"
With one stroke, the surface of the metal can was cut open.
Thick, dark red liquid gushed out of the jar like pus from a festering wound.
Then Night Song added another cut, completely slicing open the surface of the entire metal can.
The "thing" stored in the jar was finally revealed to Ye Ge and his companions.
Bai Xueling's eyes widened in surprise: "This is...!"
