Ye Xiao soon released the big bat, causing it to fall to the ground. It flapped its wings and tried to fly up, but it was too weak to fly.

However, the cheering noises of the bats could be heard from everywhere inside the cave.

"Life Recovery!"

Ye Xiao then used his Life Recovery skill to help the bat heal. The bat was actually gravely injured and its vitality was damaged as well. Not to mention, the loss of blood in its body was too high.

It actually took Ye Xiao more than an hour just to heal the big bat's physical injuries and recover the loss of blood to a certain extent. If he wanted to help the bat recover completely, it would take much longer time than just one hour.

Anyway, the big bat now recovered enough to properly fly. It flapped its wings and made some strange noise.

Surprisingly, every single bat started making the same noise.

Although Ye Xiao had no idea what they were saying, he could still feel goodwill from them. He could tell that these beasts were thanking him for helping their leader.

"Who is it? Who dares?" 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

Suddenly, a loud sound echoed in the cave, and then the sounds of footsteps were heard.

As soon as the Bats heard this voice, they seemed to have seen a very terrifying person coming. The leader of the Bats looked at Ye Xiao and let out a strange noise, as if telling him to run. Then a ray of light shot out of its eyes and landed on Ye Xiao's right chest. disappearing within his body.

Ye Xiao only felt a stinging sensation in his body. He had no idea what the big bat did, but now was not the time to look into this matter. It is because what he saw next astonished him to the extent.

Ye Xiao saw all the bats shooting toward the incomplete summoning formation, and for some mysterious reason, as soon as they touched the outer line of the formation, they turned into smoke and disappeared. Countless bats shot toward the formation and were constantly disappearing into the smoke. Ye Xiao had no idea why they were doing this, but this scene was quite shocking to witness.

In less than five minutes, the crowd of hundreds of thousands of bats disappeared, leaving behind Ye Xiao only. Ye Xiao found one more thing very strange. As soon as the last bat disappeared, the summoning formation seemed to have shattered and disappeared into blood-red light fragments as well. It also completely disappeared from the surface.

And it was at this moment Ye Xiao saw a middle-aged man completely enveloped in black clothes walking in, followed by hundreds of human puppets that wanted to kill Ye Xiao.

When the middle-aged man came here, he first looked at Ye Xiao before observing the surroundings.

He seemed to have understood what must have happened after seeing the empty cave. He pointed at Ye Xiao and said: "You dare to destroy my plan of tens of hundreds of years, I will never let you go. You have no idea what you did, but it doesn't matter. I will capture you first and turn you into one of my puppets. But you will be different from these puppets. I will turn you into a living puppet. I will torture you for eternity."

The middle-aged man didn't seem to have any intention of talking to Ye Xiao more. He already understood that his hard work of years was destroyed and taking more will result in just a waste of time.

He pointed at Ye Xiao and said: "Kill!"

"Swoosh swoosh!"

The sound of clothes fluttering sounded as hundreds of Chaos Dust Realm puppets rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

Ye Xiao also understood that he has to escape. There is no way he could survive the attack of so many Chaos Dust Realm puppets.

If these puppets were alive. he could simply destroy their souls. But they were not alive, they did not have a soul at all.

Before running away, Ye Xiao used his Soul Destruction ability on the middle-aged man, but it seems that the man's soul was much stronger than any opponent Ye Xiao had faced. The middle-aged man only felt pain in his soul, and his soul seemed to have been injured a little. That's all. He failed to kill the middle-aged man.

However, his action infuriated the middle-aged man to the extreme. The middle-aged man pointed at Ye Xiao and yelled furiously: "Kill him, tear his body into thousands of pieces. Kill this bastard for me!"

"Run!"

At this moment, Ye Xiao was quite decisive. With a flash of light beneath his feet, he disappeared and reappeared on the platform he saw outside this place. And then, without stopping, he started running so that he could get out of the cave.

There were too many puppets, and Ye Xiao wasn't able to defeat them at all. The first thing for him was to stay alive.

"Hehe, you actually want to run away?" The middle-aged man in black laughed, not caring at all. He waved his hand and strange runes started shining with light. And just like that, some of the puppets actually started transforming into something else. They transformed into bird-shaped puppets, with energy wings behind their backs.

The other human puppets soared and landed on the bird-shaped puppets. With a cry, the bird-shaped puppets spread their energy wings and flew up, starting to search for Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao spent a few moments teleporting and finally spent a few more minutes passing through the cave's entrance and entering a dense forest once again. He started running.

"Kid, let's see where you can run to." The middle-aged man was also at the back of one of the puppets. He shouted angrily from behind as he chased after Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao went deeper into the forest, and yet he still failed to get rid of the puppets. He also teleported a few times more, but the bird-shaped puppets seemed to have eagle eyes, they would soon find him and try to attack him. The middle-aged man in black clothes behind him would gradually catch up, and the distance between them grew closer and closer.

"Brat, let's see where else you can run to. Just obediently die." The middle-aged man sneered and said. He didn't care one bit about a mere kid who dared to destroy his plan of tens of hundreds of years.

He was faster and stronger than the other party, so there was nothing to worry about. The speed of the two sides got closer and closer until it was only fifty meters.

Ye Xiao's eyes flashed coldly, and his killing intent exploded as he shouted: "Soul Destruction!"

"Ahhh!"

Ye Xiao once again used the Soul Destruction ability on the middle-aged man. Although it was still unable to kill the middle-aged man, it injured his soul once again, causing the middle-aged man to let out a painful scream.

"Kill him!"

The middle-aged man shouted and pointed at Ye Xiao. All the puppets rushed at Ye Xiao, intending to kill him.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man seemed to understand that Ye Xiao was a threat to him, so he did not dare to fight Ye Xiao head-on.

In fact, he was a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. If he want, he could have fought and even killed Ye Xiao, but there seemed to be something strange and mysterious stopping him from attacking or killing Ye Xiao.

Seeing that puppets were now attacking him, Ye Xiao simply used his World Exterminating Fist to attack the puppet.

"Boom!"

The World Exterminating Fist, like a heavy hammer, brought with it a mighty aura of destruction and instantly shattered one of the puppet's arms from its shoulder. The puppet lost his balance and was sent flying.

Ye Xiao teleported closer to the puppet. He did not plan to let the puppet escape.

With great momentum, one punch after another, many punches continuously landed on that puppet and released a series of popping sounds.

"Go to hell!"

Killing intent flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes, he was merciless. Strike after strike, each move was fatal. And very soon, the sounds of continuous cracking could be heard. The puppet was soon destroyed.

And it was at this moment attacks of other puppets arrived.

Ye Xiao wanted to dodge their attacks and even used tried to teleport away, however, he was still a bit late.

"Bang!"

A powerful force struck Ye Xiao's back, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he was also sent flying far away, colliding against a tree and falling down. He felt like his body becoming hotter, as if it would explode at any moment. This was the aftereffect of suffering from the puppet's attack.

This attack also caused the foreign chaos energy residing within Ye Xiao's body to start becoming violent once again. This made Ye Xiao cough out another mouthful of blood.

But the attacks of the puppets were not over. They arrived in front of Ye Xiao once again, ready to execute another series of attacks.
