Chapter 684 (The Figure in the Painting)
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the coffin, their expressions filled with curiosity, including Ye Hua.
Is there a person or a monster inside that coffin?
The two people in the arena looked at each other with confusion and mustered the courage to approach the coffin.
This action made everyone hold their breath. What would happen?
The coffin was engraved with strange patterns, and the two of them curiously examined it. It seemed like a peculiar painting, depicting six people holding weapons and facing a large army.
Ye Hua took a drag of his cigarette and casually said, “If I’m not mistaken, this coffin should be a kind of seal.”
“A seal?” Donghuang Baizhi questioned with doubt.
“Yes, but the seal seems to have been broken now,” Ye Hua chuckled softly. From the extent of the seal’s damage, it was powerful!
Qing Ya was very curious. “What does the dragon from earlier mean?”
“Let’s make a hypothesis. The dragon might be a guardian species that discovered the seal was broken and…” Ye Hua’s words weren’t finished as he wanted to hear what his wives thought.
However, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didn’t say anything. It was Donghuang Li who spoke up, “Then it left this threat here and ran away…”
“Haha, my clever Ah Li,” Ye Hua touched his daughter’s cheek. It was just a speculation, and the actual facts were unknown.
Ye Hua laughed, but Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didn’t.
“Even the divine dragon couldn’t contend with it and left behind such a dangerous thing,” Donghuang Baizhi murmured.
Ye Hua flicked the cigarette ash. “Let’s take a look first and see who is inside!”
The two women nodded and continued to focus their gaze on the arena.
The two people in the arena finished examining the coffin and attempted to touch it with their hands.
But before their hands could touch the coffin, a strange aura emanated from it. Their expressions changed, their bodies began to convulse violently, and their life force was being drained away, merging into the coffin.
In less than a few seconds, the two people fell down like empty shells.
Ye Hua felt that this move resembled Ye Zizi’s technique of extracting blood essence.
However, this was the extraction of life force, and the difference between the two was not significant, but rather similar.
Seeing the instant death of the two people in the arena, the tens of thousands of people present were stunned, forgetting to even escape.
A golden barrier instantly enveloped the arena, and the voice of the host was heard, “Everyone, please remain calm. The barrier has been activated, and relevant personnel are rushing here!”
The words had just been spoken!
The coffin lid slammed shut with a heavy thud. The deafening sound indicated that its weight was extraordinary, so heavy that even the marble shattered!
Ye Hua stared intently at the coffin in the darkness. Who would come out of it?
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi became nervous. Donghuang Li and Ye Yan, on the other hand, were quite excited, just like their father.
A strange painting floated in the coffin…
This phenomenon left everyone in a daze, even Ye Hua felt surprised. ‘A painting?’
Moreover, it was a landscape painting, but in the bottom right corner of the painting, there was a person sitting and fishing…
This was not particularly strange. What was strange was that the person sitting and fishing seemed to be moving!
“This painting! Could it also be another seal?” Qing Ya asked in a deep voice.
All eyes turned to the coffin, curiosity evident in everyone’s expressions, including Ye Hua.
Is there a person or a monster inside that coffin?
Donghuang Baizhi nodded, “That should be the case. This painting is likely a powerful sealing treasure, and so is the coffin. It’s a double seal!”
“Who could it be? To endure such a seal, and now… the seals are gone…” Qing Ya muttered, feeling that this enemy was different from the ones they had faced before.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Ye Hua’s mouth, but he immediately composed himself, showing a serious expression. “It seems… this enemy is very powerful!”
Upon hearing her husband’s tone, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi instantly lost confidence. They had witnessed Ye Hua’s immense strength, like a god among gods. Now he was giving such an evaluation…
“Ye Hua, don’t tease us like that. It was our mistake earlier, you’re scaring me,” Qing Ya forced a smile, speaking softly, hoping her husband would retract his previous words and appear more relaxed, as if facing an insignificant matter.
Ye Hua chuckled inwardly, but he didn’t show it on his face. He spoke in a solemn tone, “I also have no certainty about this opponent. Although the seals have dissipated, you should still feel the lingering power. Being able to break the seals during their existence, this opponent is very powerful.”
Donghuang Baizhi’s face fell, “Ye Hua, what should we do? Let’s hurry back to the Voidless Realm.”
Donghuang Baizhi only wanted to protect her family, as the Voidless Realm had protective barriers outside, providing more safety.
However, Ye Hua ruthlessly struck them down, “The barriers of the Voidless Realm won’t hold.”
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi instantly became anxious. They looked at their husband’s stern expression, as if he wasn’t joking. What should they do… what should they do…
“Ye Hua, let’s move to the Canglie Star,” Qing Ya suggested directly. If they couldn’t win, then it was best not to take risks.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hua’s mouth twitched slightly. They were already thinking of running away so quickly. They were indeed eager.
“Why the rush? The outcome is still uncertain. Let’s see how powerful this person is first,” Ye Hua had no intention of going to the Canglie Star. Running away when the enemy arrived? That’s not how things should be.
“Daddy, I want to go beat up the bad guy,” Donghuang Li raised her fist.
“Ah Li, don’t be naughty,” Donghuang Baizhi sternly scolded.
Donghuang Li pursed her lips, hoping to grow up quickly so that she could join the fight and assist her father.
The painting that drifted out of the coffin appeared before the eyes of tens of thousands of people. Though they didn’t know its meaning, it looked mysterious and awe-inspiring.
Suddenly, the person fishing in the painting stood up, put down his fishing rod, and turned his head to look outside the painting!
With just that gentle glance, everyone felt their breath halt. It was terrifying!
A single gaze held such immense power!
Ye Hua was somewhat surprised by the opponent’s strength. ‘Indeed, they were formidable!’
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi had been observing their husband’s expression all along, and their hearts felt heavy.
Their minds couldn’t help but recall Wang Dabao and his wife. They had met with tragedy because they encountered someone as powerful as themselves.
If they and Ye Hua also encountered someone powerful, did that mean… they would follow in Wang Dabao’s footsteps?
Women, they easily overthink things. They were already thinking about the future before anything had happened. It was scaring themselves.
The man in the painting smiled and took out a folding fan, gently waving it!
The scenery in the painting vanished, turning into an ordinary piece of white paper, devoid of anything…
Pff!
A flame erupted, instantly engulfing the painting, reducing it to ashes…
As the painting disappeared, a figure gradually appeared on the scene. It was exactly like the man in the painting, holding an ordinary folding fan, gently swaying it.
