Chapter 648: Earth Walker, The Yaksas

However, Earth Walker suddenly burst into green flames before Slaughterer’s fist could get anywhere close to its target. It engulfed the big man in the blink of an eye.

Earth Walker himself no longer looked human. During the short period, he had grown over three meters tall and became covered in sharp needles. His hands looked as big as palm-leaf fans, and his fingers turned as sharp as swords. One of his eyes had shifted to his scalp, and the other just above his chin. The shape of his eyes had changed as well. One of them was triangular, and the other a crescent.

One of his nostrils was facing upward, and the other downward. Like the antennae of a snail, it occasionally extended or retracted at will. As for his ears, one of them was at the front, and the other at the back. His appearance looked scary to say the least, though it was nothing compared to the green flames covering his body. It was overflowing with inauspiciousness and calamitous energy.

Slaughterer was massive, but compared to Earth Walker in his current form? It was the difference between an infant and a big man. Right now, Earth Walker was holding Slaughterer with an iron grip and cackling evilly.

“What are you doing, Earth Walker! Unhand me!” Slaughterer roared.

“You’re not Slaughterer,” Earth Walker said simply. His voice sounded raspy and disturbing, and sparks flew out of his mouth as he spoke.

“Have you gone crazy, Earth Walker? Who else can I be if not Slaughterer? Unhand me already!” Slaughterer yelled again.

However, Earth Walker was completely unmoved. “You’re not him. Your appearance and your aura are exactly the same as Slaughterer, but I know for a fact that you’re not him.”

“Now speak. Who are you? Where is Slaughterer?”

“Aw man. It looks like you really did find me out.”

Slaughterer abruptly stopped struggling as a curious look replaced his angry snarl. “I was pretty confident in my disguise, you know. What did I do wrong?”

“Your disguise is pretty incredible. Your appearance, body shape, energies and more were exactly identical to Slaughterer. Unfortunately for you, you’re not a member of the Eight Legions, so you’re unaware of the signature characteristics of the Asuras’ secret art,” Earth Walker replied.

“Hmph! You have one helluva mouth for someone with one foot in the grave already,” Earth Walker scoffed.

His enemy had tried to trick him, so he had repaid the favor in return. That was why he didn’t expose Ye Qing immediately after seeing through his disguise. He wanted to get close enough so he could unleash his full strength and restrain the impudent fool.

His opponent was strong enough to force “Xingtian Finale” out of Slaughterer. He might even have killed the big idiot already. Had he exposed Ye Qing immediately, he would’ve had to clash against him in a head-on fight. He was sure he would win, but as a veteran of the jianghu, he knew that to let carelessness into his head. Why take a risk when there was a safer, more superior option?

As soon as he got close to Ye Qing, he immediately activated his Yaksa bloodline and unleashed his full power. Thanks to this, he was able to outwit his enemy and restrain him.

Earth Walker was a descendant of the ancient Yaksas and a member of the Yaksas of the Eight Legions. He was swift, strong, and cunning.

A Yaksa could be split into two types, namely Sky Yaksa and Earth Yaksa. A Sky Yaksa had a pair of wings that allowed them to fly and pull off all kinds of tricky movements. An Earth Yaksa was a natural in Earth Escape and could slip into the underground anytime, anywhere. Their head was constantly covered in green flames, and they enjoyed spreading plagues and calamities. They were also born with a face that only a mother could love.

Earth Walker was descended from an Earth Yaksa. He was a Half-Step Grandmaster in his own right, but when he activated his bloodline, he could give even a proper Grandmaster a run for their money.

The fake Slaughterer was currently restrained, and his insides were sealed and corrupted by his green flames. He could not see how the man could possibly get out of this—not unless he was a Grandmaster.

Was the fake Slaughterer a Grandmaster? Of course not. If he really was a Grandmaster, then he wouldn’t bother with such petty tricks. He would’ve just attacked him head on.

As for why Earth Walker hadn’t killed Ye Qing outright, it was because he wanted to know if Slaughterer was still alive or not.

Yes, there was a huge chance that Slaughterer was already dead—but what if he wasn’t? What if his idiot companion was still alive?

Besides, his enemy was completely under his control right now. He wasn’t afraid of anything Ye Qing might pull in his current state.

“Now speak. Where is Slaughterer? Give me the truth, and I may grant you an easy death.” Earth Walker tightened his grip while threatening, “Otherwise, you will wish that you were dead.”
