Divine God Against The Heavens

Chapter 245 Ch 245: Destroying The Souls

The brilliant rays of the sun permeated through the gaps between the canopy.

Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks. He stared at the hilly dirt path in front of him for a moment, then he turned back and looked at the girl who was gasping for air behind him.

"Miss Su, can you move a bit faster?"

"W-wait a minute... let me... catch my breath..."

Su Xue Er's present state was a mess. With mud, twigs, and leaves sticking onto her robe as well as with a face full of sweat, she had lost all of her previously elegant features. If someone saw her pitiful state right now, they'd have thought that she had just come back from a war. But in fact, she was only climbing a hill.

"I... never thought... that it was... going to be this tiring..."

Ye Xiao left the Su Family the same day he agreed to help Su Xue Er search for the treasure or left behind by the owner of the black box in the Dragon Mountain.

After five days of fast journey, they finally reached the place from where they could clearly see a big mountain, the Dragon Mountain.

Dragon Mountain gained its name because of its shape. It was like a big dragon, looking at the sky as though wanting to tear it apart with its large and sharp claws.

To enter this Dragon Mountain, the first thing one has to do was to climb a few hills that were standing tall surrounding the Dragon Mountain. Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er have already passed a few hills and this was the last hill after which, they will be in front of Dragon Mountain.

At the beginning of the climb, Su Xue Er was energetic since it was her first time exploring the wild without anyone guarding her. This newfound freedom in adventuring made her even more and more enthusiastic.

Alas, enthusiasm wasn't something that could be eaten and converted into energy. Therefore, her enthusiasm gradually waned and turned into anguish.

Rough roads, thorny shrubs, thickets of grass... observing nature from afar was nice and all, but walking through it was another story altogether. And to make matters worse, even wanting to take a rest was a chore. According to Ye Xiao, she must carefully scan the surroundings just in case a poisonous snake or some dangerous beast lurked nearby.

She took heavy breaths with each step as she slowly staggered up the hilly road. The enthusiasm that she displayed before had completely vanished.

When Ye Xiao saw her like this, he decided to let her take some rest after all she was far weaker than him so it is normal for her to be tired than him.

Suddenly, as if Ye Xiao sensed something, he immediately became alert and released his Divine Sense that covered the area with a radius of more than a dozen kilometers meters.

"What happened?" Su Xue Er asked.

"Someone is coming!"

Ye Xiao turned his head and gazed at the mountain below which was hidden behind thick foliage.

"There are nine people. Each of them is a Martial Emperor realm martial artist. Be careful and get ready to move forward." Ye Xiao said.

"Got it!"

Su Xue Er stood up and once again started to climb the hill together with Ye Xiao.

"Are they following us?" Su Xue Er asked.

"To be exact, they are following you!" Ye Xiao answered. He was not worried as these people were only Martial Emperor realm cultivators while he himself was at the Martial Ancestor Realm.

Not to mention these people, even if Martial Saints were to come, he will not be afraid of them.

Su Xue Er stared at Ye Xiao with a complaint in her eyes after hearing him. She said, "Since they are here for me, they will attack us soon. They must be from the three countries. They must have noticed us leaving the Su Family so they sent their experts to follow us."

"Why don't we attract some magical beasts toward them? This way, we can leave them behind."

,m "Why bother? If they were to come, I will just kill them!" Ye Xiao shook his head and continued to climb. Although Su Xue Er was dead tired, she still climbed the hill slowly as the danger was following them from behind.

After two hours of struggle, Su Xue Er finally crossed the last hill together with Ye Xiao. She was so tired at this moment that she directly sat down on the ground and started to pant heavily, gasping for air to breathe.

Ye Xiao was also somewhat tired. He also sat down beside Su Xue Er and begun to rest.

The Dragon Mountain was just in front of them. This mountain was in the shape of a dragon which really looked too majestic.

"Are they still following us?" Su Xue Er's spiritual sense was not as powerful as Ye Xiao's Divine Sense so, she was unable to sense the people following them. She could only ask Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "You know what, they are also as tired as you are. They are currently resting at the distance of around a thousand meters."

Su Xue Er nodded her head and sighed in relief. She can finally rest for some time without any worry.

While Su Xue Er was resting, Ye Xiao was looking at the majestic Dragon Mountain in front of him. He could feel the aura of a dragon inside Dragon Mountain. Not only a dragon's aura, but he could also feel three more powerful aura from somewhere inside this majestic mountain.

It was just that except for the dragon, he was unable to recognize the other three auras.

After another hour, Ye Xiao sensed that the people behind them have once again started to move. He didn't tell Su Xue Er as he did not want her to be worried once again. He let her rest for the time being.

She was so tired that when she fell asleep, even she doesn't know. At this time, she did not even care about sleeping on the ground. She just fell asleep without knowing.

Sometime later, those people caught up to Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er. Seeing Su Xue Er deep in sleep, they laughed loudly and surrounded Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er.

Ye Xiao frowned as he saw Su Xue Er's sleep being disturbed by these people. He decided to use his new ability on these people and see exactly how powerful these abilities are.

"Soul Destruction!"

He used the Soul Destruction on these nine Martial Emperor Realm and to his surprise, these nine people who were still laughing loudly, suddenly stopped laughing and fell down on the ground, giving off a 'thud' sound.

Ye Xiao was dumbfounded seeing this. Although he knew he could kill anyone weaker than him with the ability "Soul Destruction" that he gained from the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon, he still did not think it would be this easy.

Although these nine people were already dead, their expression was still that of laughing. This was too terrifying. Ye Xiao directly destroyed their soul without them knowing. These nine people did not even know that Ye Xiao has launched an attack on them.

If this ability "Soul Destruction" were to fall in the hand of an assassin, that assassin will definitely become the king of assassins just because of this ability.

Due to some disturbance, Su Xue Er woke up and the moment she woke up, she saw Ye Xiao staring at the corpses of nine people surrounding them.

"These people...?" Su Xue Er looked at these corpses and then turn her head to look at Ye Xiao with a questioning gaze.

Ye Xiao nodded his head and confirmed her, "These were the people following us!"

Su Xue Er stood up and checked the corpses. She was shocked to see that there were no wounds on their body but even so, they were already dead. What kind of attack did Ye Xiao use to kill these nine people without wounding them?

She thought about it and suddenly, as if she was enlightened, she looked at Ye Xiao and said in a trembling voice, "You... You used a soul attack?"

"Why do you ask?"

"There is no wound on these people's bodies. It is as if they died naturally but it is clear you killed them. Other than attacking the soul of these people, I can not think of a reason how they died!" Su Xue Er explained.

Ye Xiao nodded his head and said indifferently, "I was just trying to see the effect of some tricks, I did not expect them to die like this!"

When Su Xue Er heard him, her mouth twitched.

Are you for sure?

If you are just trying to use some tricks on them then how did they died like this?

Although she knew, she did not ask further as she knew what she should and should not ask.
