Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Celestial Witch Dragon Slaying Array

After getting in the car, Cheng Yuan leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest and compose himself.

After an unknown amount of time, the car suddenly began to lurch and bump.

Cheng Yuan yawned and asked, ”Master Ma, are we almost at the Celestial Witch Sect?”

Ma Fei replied flatly, ”Almost there.”

Cheng Yuan slowly opened his eyes and peered out the window.

But the scenery that met his eyes made him frown deeply.

’Something’s not right!’

’Why are the trees so sparse here? They’re all stunted.’

And the ground was pocked and uneven, with a vast marsh from which a faint miasma was rising.

’The Celestial Witch Sect shouldn’t have its headquarters in such a hostile environment!’

Even with Cheng Yuan’s powerful constitution, he felt a little dizzy after inhaling just a bit of the miasma.

Cheng Yuan quickly activated his Double Pupil and instantly saw what was wrong!

This Guide Ma’s heart meridian was severed, and he was sucking on Centennial Ginseng Pieces to stay alive. The marshland ahead was riddled with bogs five or six meters deep—a fall would mean certain, irreversible death!

Suddenly, a chill crawled up Cheng Yuan’s spine. Less than fifty meters ahead, a massive bog appeared, large enough to swallow their entire SUV!

Cheng Yuan roared, ”Stop the car! There’s a bog ahead!”

But unfortunately, upon hearing Cheng Yuan, Ma Fei didn’t stop. Instead, he slammed the accelerator to the floor, his face twisting into a mask of pure madness!

’Die! If Cheng Yuan dies, my son can become the Saint Heir! He’ll enjoy the greatest cultivation resources the Celestial Witch Sect has to offer!’

The color drained from Cheng Yuan’s face!

’This bastard! He’s driving into the bog on purpose! He’s trying to kill me!’

’Is it Xuanyuan Potian?’

’Or is it someone from the Celestial Witch Sect?’

Cheng Yuan’s gaze turned dangerously sharp.

Cheng Yuan lunged, grabbing the steering wheel and yanking it hard!

The SUV swerved in a wide arc, missing the bog and crashing head-on into a tree!

CRACK!

The tree snapped in two!

The SUV slowly ground to a halt!

The impact was so powerful that the SUV’s hood flew up. Ma Fei slammed his head against the steering wheel and passed out instantly.

Cheng Yuan, also dazed from the crash, grimaced as he climbed out. He dragged Ma Fei from the driver’s seat and checked for breath under his nose, finding a faint pulse of air.

Cheng Yuan took out his Silver Needles and pricked Ma Fei with them a few times.

Ma Fei slowly came to, staring at Cheng Yuan expressionlessly. ”Why did you save me?”

”Tell me who wants me dead. Was it Xuanyuan Potian, or someone from your Celestial Witch Sect?”

Ma Fei looked at Cheng Yuan calmly. ”You’re in the Death Swamp. You’re already a dead man. What good would knowing do you? Just wait peacefully for the end.”

Cheng Yuan snorted. ”Die? You think a little miasma can kill me?”

With that, he took out an Antitoxic Pill and swallowed it.

Ma Fei laughed. ”You think the Death Swamp is just a little miasma? You underestimate it! The Death Swamp is home to countless venomous creatures and bottomless bogs! One wrong step and you’re doomed beyond recovery!”

Cheng Yuan curled his lip in disdain. ”Are you an idiot? We’ve only been in this swamp for a few minutes. I can just follow the tire tracks back out.”

”Tire tracks? Hahaha, look again. Do you see any tire tracks?”

Cheng Yuan turned to look for the tracks, and his expression changed!

’Weird!’

’Why are the tire tracks all broken up? And the landscape... it seems to have changed. I can’t see any way out!’

”An Array? Or an Illusion Array?”

”That’s right! This is our Celestial Witch Sect’s Celestial Witch Dragon Slaying Array. It was originally prepared for the Old Dragon King. To die within it... you could consider that a worthy end.”

To Ma Fei’s surprise, Cheng Yuan wasn’t flustered at all. He said calmly, ”A mere Illusion Array is hardly enough to stop me.”

Activating an advanced state of his Double Pupil, Cheng Yuan quickly saw through the illusion and found the path out of the Death Swamp!

Cheng Yuan tossed Ma Fei into the passenger seat and sat down behind the wheel.

CLICK. The SUV’s engine turned over smoothly.

Cheng Yuan was delighted. ’This SUV is really built tough! It can still run even after a crash like that!’

’I’ve been wanting to get my driver’s license but never had the time. Guess I can use this opportunity to practice!’

This was Cheng Yuan’s first time driving. However, he had long understood the basic principles: a forward gear, a reverse gear, a gas pedal, and a brake.

The theory was simple, but putting it into practice made Cheng Yuan break out in a cold sweat.

As a beginner, he had no feel for the pedals and accidentally stomped on them!

VROOM! VROOM!

The SUV let out a fierce roar and shot backward, nearly plunging into the bog!

Fortunately, Cheng Yuan reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes!

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ma Fei almost laughed out loud. ”Kid, do you even know how to drive?”

Cheng Yuan didn’t answer. He shifted into drive and eased up on the gas this time. It was a bit better, at least not lurching so violently.

It had to be said, Cheng Yuan was a genius.

It took him less than thirty seconds to get the feel for the gas pedal.

Cheng Yuan corrected their course and headed in the right direction!

Though a vast bog seemed to lie directly ahead, Cheng Yuan drove toward it without hesitation!

The bog vanished like a popped bubble. A row of trees appeared in its place, but Cheng Yuan floored the accelerator and charged straight ahead!

Ma Fei instinctively squeezed his eyes shut, but he felt no violent collision.

When Ma Fei opened his eyes again, he was silent. He realized Cheng Yuan had already driven them out of the Death Swamp.

Ma Fei stared at Cheng Yuan as if he were a monster, unable to comprehend how the great Celestial Witch Dragon Slaying Array had failed to contain him.

Cheng Yuan let out a small sigh of relief and asked coolly, ”Now, are you going to tell me who wants me dead?”

”In your dreams. I’m a dying man. You can’t threaten me.”

Cheng Yuan stared at Ma Fei coldly. ”The one thing I hate most is betrayal. My grandmother did the Celestial Witch Sect a great service, yet this is how you repay that kindness. You have no one to blame but yourselves for what happens next!”

Cheng Yuan formed a hand seal and began to chant, ”Wandering spirit, how can you survive? Life hanging by a thread, true soul adrift. Celestial Witch above, aid me in reaping this soul! Go!”

A dense black aura suddenly erupted from Cheng Yuan’s body. Shrouded in the swirling miasma, his handsome face twisted into something sinister.

A shadowy figure that bore an uncanny resemblance to Cheng Yuan plunged into Ma Fei’s Sea of Consciousness!

In the blink of an eye, the shadow found the Divine Soul hidden within.

Ma Fei’s Divine Soul tried to resist instinctively, but the shadow’s power was on a completely different level. It was helpless to fight back and was instantly subdued.

The shadow opened a cavernous, blood-red maw, poised to devour the Divine Soul in a single gulp!

Not wanting to be utterly annihilated, Ma Fei’s Divine Soul let out a terrified scream, ”No! Don’t! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”

This was the second time Cheng Yuan had used such a malevolent form of Witchcraft, and tendrils of wicked Witch Power began to subtly corrupt his mind.

Cheng Yuan was becoming unhinged.

Cheng Yuan cackled. ”Too late for that now! Once I devour your Divine Soul, I can search your memories at my leisure!”

With that, the shadow opened its maw!
