With the help of his Divine Sense, Ye Xiao immediately found out why he felt a threatening aura from the red-clothed woman. It was because she has a red stone caved in on her forehead. That red stone was no ordinary stone, it was a stone that could help the red-clothed woman devour all the Evil Spirits and increase her strength almost in an instant.
This stone was called Spirit Devouring Stone.
Ye Xiao also noticed that the red-clothed woman was actually a human being but she had no soul. Instead, she was being controlled by two powerful Evil Spirits. These two powerful Evil Spirits had possessed her body and was controlling her.
Ye Xiao did not plan to give the red-clothed woman a chance to use the Spirit Devouring Stone. He raised his hand and instantly, a vast amount of demonic energy condensed into a huge dragon claw in the air and descended.
Almost in an instant, the dilapidated house, where the red-clothed woman was at, collapsed. The red-clothed woman also let out a sharp cry.
This cry did not sound like a human being or a demon could make.
Ye Xiao waved his hand and a long blade appeared. This long blade was the ancient weapon that Ye Xiao bought from the auction house. This was also the weapon that was able to easily cut off the cell bar of the prison of the Blood Demon Sect.
As soon as the blade appeared, Ye Xiao slashed it out. Immediately, the Evil Spirits that were pouncing on Ye Xiao, were cut into pieces. One blade slash and thousands of Evil Spirits died instantly.
In this attack, Ye Xiao didn't use much of his strength. All of this was done by the ancient blade itself.
Ye Xiao had already guessed that this blade must have been used in some war against the demons and ancient demons in the ancient era. It had a very strong killing intent and was extremely sharp.
Ye Xiao did not know the grade of this ancient blade but he guessed that it was most likely a Quasi-Divine Grade Weapon. But for some reason, he could not tell its rank.
The Evil Spirits that should have dissipated in the world after being cut into pieces by the long blade were suddenly swallowed by the Ancient Blade. Ye Xiao was surprised to see that this ancient blade was actually strengthened.
"This... What kind of weapon is this?"
Immediately after, Ye Xiao held the blade again and chased after the red-clothed woman.
This red-clothed woman seemed to have intelligence. She was different from the other Evil Spirits around her that were like small fries.
"Die! Die! Die!"
The red-clothed woman suddenly screamed and let out a series of roars. This roar did not match her appearance at all. It was clearly a rough male voice.
Immediately after, a river of blood appeared on the ground. Fresh blood continuously gushed out from the soil.
Amidst the shocking blood, black hair grew out and was about to wrap around Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao didn't waste any time and slashed down with his blade. At the same time, he used the Blood Devour to devour the blood on the ground, strengthening his cultivation of the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
"Swoosh!"
Those black hair were quickly cut into fine parts by the ancient blade and black smoke started was rising from them.
Immediately after, Ye Xiao moved in front of the red-clothed woman. The broken blade was aimed at her head and stabbed several times.
Ye Xiao mainly aimed at the Spirit Devouring Stone on her forehead. He didn't want to give her any chance to devour the Evil Spirits around her and increase her strength. If she really did that, it'll be extremely troublesome for Ye Xiao to get rid of her.
The red-clothed woman's head was broken in an instant. Her skin was on the verge of collapse. She only managed to hold on for a while before she fell to the ground.
Immediately, two Evil Spirits emerged from her body. These two Evil Spirits were a man and a woman. The man had a crazy look on his face as he lunged at Ye Xiao.
The woman stared at Ye Xiao maliciously and turned around to fly into the distance.
These two Evil Spirits had almost reached the Early Stage of the Ancient Demon Realm. Once they appeared in the air, the entire town became gloomy. The surrounding air suddenly became incomparably cold and countless traces of evil energy and resentment were magnified to the extreme.
"Why do I feel that there is something not far away from here that could help me increase my cultivation of the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique?"
Ye Xiao thought and used the Divine Sense to probe the surroundings but didn't find anything. Ye Xiao shook his head and let go of this thought for the time being.
After that, he once again focused on the Evil Spirit that had pounced at him. He didn't hold back. He reached out his hand and grabbed the male Evil Spirit's neck and pierced the ancient blade in its body, killing it with a single slash.
Immediately, the ancient blade in his hand devoured the killed evil spirit.
"Now, there is only one left."
Ye Xiao's gaze passed through the distance and landed on the female Evil Spirit who was escaping really fast.
This Evil Spirit had cultivated well and was hidden in the air. It was hard for ordinary demons or martial artists to catch it. However, it could not escape Ye Xiao's divine sense.
"It's your turn!" Ye Xiao moved and chased after the female Evil Spirit.
The Town was actually not big but it had been destroyed by these Evil Spirits. Someone had deliberately set up a formation to allow the Evil Spirits to wreak havoc here. Moreover, the formation restricted the person who entered to escape. If one was unable to find a method to break the formation, it would be very difficult to escape.
The female Evil Spirit originally thought that she could stall Ye Xiao for a period of time and at least kill him, but she did not expect Ye Xiao to catch up in the blink of an eye.
She could not help but scream and flee quickly, shuttling back and forth between the surrounding houses.
"I have killed all these Evil Spirit. No matter how arrogant she is, she should know that she is no match for me. But this Evil Spirit did not escape. Could it be that she can't see through this formation at all?"
Ye Xiao raised his head and looked at the formation in the sky above the Town. This formation hid itself very well. Even Ye Xiao did not notice it at the first moment. But when he spread his Divine Sense to check on the red-clothed woman, he immediately sensed this formation and understood why this town became so well-known and why there was no sign of life in this town!
"It would take a certain amount of time for me to break this formation. However, if this female Evil Spirit was the mastermind behind this formation, she would naturally know how to escape from it. Since she did not leave, it seemed like this female Evil Spirit was just a chess piece laid here by someone."
"It doesn't matter. I came here, in this town, exactly to solve this puzzle. When I heard about this town and bought the map, I had a feeling that this town had something incredible hiding here. Only because of this I came here even though the auction is still on the play."
A cold light flashed across Ye Xiao's eyes. As he spoke, the distance between Ye Xiao and the female Evil Spirit got closer and closer.
However, just as he was about to catch up, a girl suddenly rushed out in his sight. This girl was wearing a disciple uniform of some sect. She was actually a human. When she saw Ye Xiao, she immediately frowned.
"I was wondering why there was such a big commotion outside. So you are the one behind this. Hurry up and come in!" That girl did not give any explanation and grabbed Ye Xiao, and walked towards a certain house.
Ye Xiao was surprised to see her because a moment ago, he didn't feel any sign of life even though he had scanned the entire village with his divine sense. This little town was really not as simple as it seemed on the outside.
"Who are you?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.
"My name is Guo Shuman!" The girl replied coldly and didn't say much.
"Wait!"
Ye Xiao turned his head again and saw that the female Evil Spirit had already escaped.
Guo Shuman was very anxious. She said, "If I let you in, just come in. You are courting death. Don't drag us into this!"
With that said, Guo Shuman brought Ye Xiao directly to a courtyard in the little town.
