Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1458 - 1443: Jiaye
"I didn't expect you to actually discover me!"
The sound of sinister laughter and a gloomy voice echoed above Shi Feng and the other two.
At this moment, Ziyi and Miss Rou'er discovered a shadowy figure hidden among the dense leaves above, flickering in and out of view.
Gazing at this shadowy figure, they immediately realized this was not a simple person.
No one among Shi Feng's group could see through this person's Martial Arts Realm.
"This person's Martial Arts Cultivation has at least reached the Seven-star Demigod Realm! In the Sinister Forest, a genius of the Seven-star Demigod Realm is certainly extraordinary; we must not be careless!"
With his eyes fixed on the figure above, Ziyi spoke gravely to Shi Feng and Miss Rou'er.
Since this person was following them, they were naturally up to no good.
"Hmm!" Shi Feng and Rou'er responded softly.
"Who exactly are you, and what's your purpose in following us?" At this moment, Ziyi spoke again, shouting coldly at the person above.
In the Sinister Forest, there are infinite unknown dangers and fierce demonic beasts. Moreover, over the years, there have been many geniuses who have trained in the Sinister Forest.
The geniuses coming out of the Sinister Abyss are mostly not benevolent!
Furthermore, not long ago, the Po Jun Demon Lord had mentioned that there might also be powerful beings claiming to be from the Divine Clan appearing in this Sinister Forest!
"Who am I?" Upon hearing Ziyi ask about his identity, the shadowy figure responded with a cold laugh, and then introduced himself to Shi Feng and the other two: "I am Jiaye!"
As this person announced his name, it was evident that his voice carried an air of arrogance.
"Jiaye!"
"Jiaye!"
Upon hearing the name "Jiaye," Ziyi and Sen Rou exclaimed in shock.
Shi Feng's expression remained calm and composed. However, upon hearing the two exclamations, Shi Feng realized that this person above seemed to indeed have an extraordinary background.
"What's this person's background?" Shi Feng asked softly, turning to Ziyi beside him.
"Jiaye, a genius who became famous in our Sinister Abyss six years ago, with extraordinary strength, and trained in the Power of Night.
It's rumored that his greatest skill lies in his movement technique, which is profound and can merge into darkness, making him impossible to trace!
No wonder we were being followed earlier, and I didn't detect his presence. Turns out it's Jiaye!"
As Ziyi talked about Jiaye's background, his expression grew increasingly grave, indicating that Jiaye was a formidable opponent that Ziyi needed to take seriously!
At this moment, Miss Rou'er also spoke: "Jiaye, the genius trained in the Dark Night Power, was rumored to have entered the Sinister Forest six years ago and never appeared in the Sinister Abyss again. Some even suspected he might have died in the Sinister Forest.
Who would've thought he's still alive! Moreover, his strength must have greatly surpassed his past self over these six years!"
"Jiaye?" Shi Feng muttered the name, but he didn't really pay much attention to this person even now.
"Jiaye, why are you following us?" Hearing Jiaye announce his name but not his purpose, Ziyi called out again to the shadowy figure above.
Though Ziyi appeared solemn in facing this person, he was not afraid!
Upon hearing Ziyi's voice, Jiaye did not answer his question but asked instead, "Tell me, who among the newcomers that entered this time is the first? Who got the Sinister Metamorphic Pill?"
Upon hearing this, they finally understood that Jiaye was here for the Sinister Metamorphic Pill!
The once-every-three-years grand competition, whose first place winner obtains the Sinister Metamorphic Pill! Such an object no wonder attracts the attention of the Sinister Forest's previous geniuses!
Following this, Shi Feng and the others realized that if Jiaye was coming for the Sinister Metamorphic Pill, then others in the Sinister Forest would also soon be eyeing it.
It seemed that they needed to tread cautiously during their time in this Sinister Forest!
Ziyi and Miss Sen Rou remained silent, while Shi Feng coldly responded to Jiaye's question: "I am the first in this year's grand competition, and the Sinister Metamorphic Pill you want is on me!"
"Really!" Hearing Shi Feng's words, Jiaye was somewhat surprised and also a bit delighted.
He was surprised that by just following these three, one claimed to be the first in this competition, and he was a Martial Artist in the Four-star Demigod Realm.
He was delighted because if this boy was truly the first, and if the Sinister Metamorphic Pill was really on him, it would save Jiaye a lot of trouble!
Though this person's Martial Arts Realm was only at the Four-star Demigod Realm, he still left Jiaye with an odd feeling, and it was this person who discovered Jiaye's trace.
"Why would I lie to you? There's no point." Shi Feng spoke again to Jiaye.
"Alright then!" Jiaye chuckled and said, "Hand over your Sinister Metamorphic Pill, and I can promise to let the three of you die more easily."
Hearing Jiaye's words, it seemed he not only intended to follow Shi Feng and the others and wanted the Sinister Metamorphic Pill, but also planned to kill all three of them.
Those who could enter the Sinister Forest were no ordinary people, and Jiaye wouldn't let those who bore him a grudge continue to live in this world.
Eliminate the root; otherwise, it springs anew with a breeze!
Moreover, killing these people and extracting their hearts would benefit Jiaye.
Upon hearing Jiaye's words, Shi Feng let out a cold snort: "Hand over the Sinister Metamorphic Pill to you? Humph! Are you worthy?" As he said this, Shi Feng moved his body, rushing directly towards Jiaye.
As Shi Feng moved, Ziyi also followed suit, forming an ancient and profound handprint with his hands.
It seemed that in facing Jiaye, a genius who made his name in the Sinister Abyss six years ago, Ziyi chose to fight alongside Shi Feng.
"You two dare to battle me? Let me show you the difference between Martial Artists of the Sinister Forest and you newcomers!
Let's see if I'm worthy of taking your Sinister Metamorphic Pill and annihilating you!"
As Shi Feng and Ziyi charged, Jiaye's face displayed an expression of disdain, and a sinister, cold smile appeared.
He then made claw-like gestures with his hands, the right claw towards Shi Feng and the left towards Ziyi, as dark power gathered in his claws.
Shi Feng and Ziyi immediately sensed that the dense dark power enveloped them, plunging the entire world into darkness. At this moment, nothing else existed except darkness; it felt as if even their physical bodies were submerged in darkness.
"Such bizarre dark power!" Observing Jiaye's Dark Power, Shi Feng muttered softly.
However, even though Shi Feng's vision was filled with darkness, his Soul Power was incredibly sharp.
