Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 446 Duanmu Yan

The abandoned factory area was clearly quite large. Each of them had a blueprint, and Duanmu Yan spread out his blueprint, marking out the search area. He then searched the deepest part of the area himself.

"action."

Duanmu Yan waved his hand at the War God Temple combat vehicle, and a ring on his finger flashed, allowing him to put the vehicle away. He then headed towards the abandoned factory.

They don't need to wear protective suits; each of them is a Battle Armor Master, and Battle Armor is more effective than any protective suit.

Moving quickly forward, Duanmu Yan sensed her surroundings as she walked, while simultaneously activating the miniature radar function on her badge.

This badge itself is a soul tool that enhances mental power and provides multiple functions such as positioning, searching, and small-area radar.

It is small in size, but its function is quite significant. It also comes with a matching communicator to bind the information inside the badge.

What Duanmu Yan is using now is a miniature radar function, which can detect a range of 100 meters in diameter and turn everything within that range into a three-dimensional form, presenting it in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It is said that the design was inspired by Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Soul Skill: Mental Detection. Although the people of the Sun Moon Federation were very unhappy with Huo Yuhao, they could not deny his strength.

Huo Yuhao caused them a lot of trouble back then, even hindering the unification of the Sun Moon Empire at one point. Although they were eventually unified, it took a lot more time.

Therefore, they have conducted in-depth research on Huo Yuhao's various abilities, and this ability also emerged with the development of soul guide technology. Of course, compared with Spirit Ice Douluo, its detection range is much smaller.

Miniature radars with thermal detection capabilities are particularly sensitive to detecting life forms and are very useful.

After activating the radar, Duanmu Yan simply continued to inject soul power, and a 3D image of a radius of 100 meters appeared in her mind. The surrounding area consisted of dilapidated factories and equipment. It felt extremely desolate.

Although it's called a search, with the help of miniature radar, simply walking through the deepest part of the factory is enough to complete a basic search.

Duanmu Yan moved quickly, while simultaneously controlling his soul power to seal his pores and aura, landing lightly and making as little noise as possible.

"This is really uncomfortable."

As Duanmu Yan walked deeper into the factory, she couldn't help but frown slightly. Perhaps due to the presence of harmful substances, there wasn't even a snake, insect, or rodent in the place. It was truly deathly silent.

"Search of the East District complete, nothing found." Zhan Er and Zhan Wu's voices came through the communicator.

"Search of the West District complete, nothing found." Next up is Battle 3.

Zhan Si's voice rang out: "Search of the Southern District complete, nothing found."

Duanmu Yan immediately said, "The four of you, gather together now and go to the North District to search. I will meet up with you after I have finished searching the inner area."

"Yes," the four replied.

With the help of the badge's location device, Duanmu Yan could easily find out that the four people had gathered and were exploring the North District.

"Has that Sword Demon already left?" After closing the communication, Duanmu Yan continued to explore the area. The depths of the factory were still quite large.

With the detection radar activated, Duanmu Yan walked through the factory buildings.

Although he hasn't found anything in his search so far, he still feels that something is wrong.

Since joining the Temple of War, he has fought against evil soul masters quite a few times. In addition, with his keen senses, he could feel an inexplicable sense of oppression in this factory, which made him very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the detection radar reacted, detecting life in a room in the corridor a hundred meters in front of him.

"Is it that Sword Demon guy?"

Squinting, Duanmu Yan walked forward, and the 3D image transmitted by the radar began to become clearer.

In the dimly lit room, several mummified corpses lay on the ground, each with a look of terror on their face, as if telling a story of their unwillingness to die.

However, what attracted Duanmu Yan's attention the most was a dark figure in the room.

A black aura enveloped his entire body, which was covered in black and gold scales, even his face. The sword in his hand was shrouded in black energy, and a mournful wail seemed to emanate from it.

"Tsk, has she completely become an Orc? She doesn't look human at all now!"

Upon seeing the black figure, Duanmu Yan instantly realized that it must be the Sword Demon.

"I've found the Sword Demon, come quick!"

After saying something to the badge and sending his location to the others, Duanmu Yan did not immediately take action. Why fight one-on-one when you can outnumber the enemy?

"ah--"

Unexpectedly, the sword demon inside the room suddenly roared. Then, the mental detection blurred instantly, and the door not far from Duanmu Yan was smashed open in a flash.

"Have you spotted me?"

Seeing the Sword Demon charging towards him, Duanmu Yan's lips curled up slightly.

"Purple, purple, black, black, black, black."

The Sword Demon has six spirit rings, which means that he is at most a Soul Emperor.

They're all Soul Emperors; who isn't a genius?

"Nawa!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Duanmu Yan instantly summoned her two-word battle armor and charged towards the Sword Demon.

"Boom—" The wall above the factory shattered instantly, and the next moment, a dark figure flew out of the building and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Let me burn away your evil thoughts."

A figure in orange-red leaped down from the building, surrounded by six spirit rings: three purple and three black.

A strange suit of armor emerged from the smoke and dust, a blazing helmet forged from ever-changing flame shapes.

The armor is primarily red, but this red is not a traditional, bright red; rather, it has an orange tint, giving it a powerful and explosive feel.

The pair of orange-red metallic wings on his back are proof of his two-word battle armor.

"Roar—" The Sword Demon roared again, and then a starlight shone from her body, revealing the Spirit Alloy One-Word Battle Armor: Star.

The next moment, the black energy wrapped around the sword demon quickly merged into the battle armor, turning it black.

The stars in the sky seemed to have become much brighter, and golden starlight and black mystic light were wrapped around the Star God Sword.

"It seems you're not just a reckless beast; you actually know how to use battle armor."

Duanmu Yan's eyes narrowed beneath his helmet. From the other party's act of absorbing star power, he had already roughly guessed that the other party was undoubtedly Ye Xinglan. A sword with star attributes—that's quite rare!

Moreover, it's nighttime now. If I'm not mistaken, Ye Xinglan not only has the ability of the Zombie Explosion Virus, but also the amplification of Star Power.

"So what? You're just an Oxer after all. Watch me remove you."

Swish!

Without a reply, Ye Xinglan transformed into a streak of black light and instantly rushed towards Duanmu Yan. The Star God Sword in her hand gleamed with a cold light, and a faint roar emanated from its blade.

"It's just a sword; everyone has one."

Duanmu Yan snorted coldly, gathered fire elements in his left hand, and then reached in with his right hand. Instantly, he pulled out a long sword, the "Melting Scale Sword".

Seeing Ye Xinglan rushing towards him, Duanmu Yan transformed into a streak of orange light and also rushed towards her.

"Boom—, boom—, boom—"

The two sides kept colliding, and a series of violent collision sounds rang out.

"Bang!"

But soon, a dark figure was instantly blasted away—it was Ye Xinglan!

"It's just a wild beast after all. Even if it knows a little swordsmanship, the difference in strength is insurmountable."

Duanmu Yan snorted coldly, then looked at her knife and frowned slightly.

Although he had the upper hand in the previous clash, it was due to the stronger amplification from his two-word battle armor. Even so, the sharpness of Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword still secretly surprised him.

His own battle armor, forged from several spirit alloys, was actually chipped and punctured by Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword during the clash.

Although Ye Xinglan was also knocked away by him, with her Oxer-transformed body, this damage was nothing to her.

"It seems I need to train even harder."

Although he couldn't defeat Ye Xinglan in a short time, it didn't matter, he still had his partners.

"I've heard that a strange race lives on the seventeenth floor of the Temple of War. They seem to be visitors from another world and possess strange flames. After this matter is over, I'll see if I can enter the Temple of War and trade for these flames."

Duanmu Yan's thoughts raced; at this moment, he desperately craved power.

"roar--"

At this moment, Ye Xinglan let out another roar, and black energy reappeared around him. Instead of dissipating, the black energy condensed and eventually formed a phantom resembling an insect.

"This is?"

……

"Demon Insect Demon?"

At the top of the abandoned factory building, Nan Fusheng looked at this scene with some surprise. He had only been here for a short time and did not expect to see this.

"I've spread quite a few zombie viruses, but Ye Xinglan is the first one with this ability. Is her compatibility with the zombie virus really that high?"

Nan Fusheng scanned the area with his spiritual power and immediately discovered that a violent insect was residing in Ye Xinglan's brain. This was probably the difference between the violent insect and the time insect.

The Zombie Virus primarily parasitizes the physical body, while the Time Worm parasitizes the soul. In terms of stealth, the Time Worm is clearly stronger.

However, the Tyrant Worm possesses the ability to modify its host's body. So, each has its advantages.

However, while the "Time Insect" is part of Nan Fusheng's body, the situation is more complicated with the Violent Chopping Insect. Although they will obey the mother insect to a certain extent, that is only if the mother insect is strong enough.

If the mother insect isn't strong, those guys might not obey obediently; they could even turn on you. No, not just might, they definitely will.

These differentiated tyrannical insects perfectly embody the law of the jungle.

"Save her." Nan Fusheng made the decision instantly.

Oxens, born from the Zombie Virus infection, vary in strength and potential.

Putting aside other things, most of the infected people nowadays are low-level Soul Masters, there are only a dozen or so Soul Emperors, and you can count them on one hand.

As one of the contemporary Shrek Seven Devils, Ye Xinglan possesses both high talent and potential. More importantly, she is highly compatible with the Zombie Virus.

……

"Demon, insect, evil spirit!"

Ye Xinglan pronounced the name of the move word by word, and illusory demonic insects appeared behind her, their eyes glaring menacingly at Duanmu Yan.

"Afraid of you?" Duanmu Yan had never been afraid of anyone in his life. He raised the slightly chipped Melting Scale Blade in his hand, and endless fire elements gathered around the blade.

"Self-created Soul Skill: Molten Flame Demon Splitter".

In an instant, the Melting Scale Blade in Duanmu Yan's hand became enormous, and then it swung down fiercely towards Ye Xinglan.

As the Star God Sword, entwined with the phantom of demonic insects, was about to collide with the enormous flaming longsword.

"steal."

An invisible wave swept over the two of them in an instant, taking away all their power.

"This is..." Duanmu Yan's expression changed. He felt his soul power disappear, but when he sensed that familiar aura, he suddenly became indifferent.

Ye Xinglan fell asleep immediately. Nan Fusheng not only stole her power, but also her consciousness.

Looking at the sleeping Ye Xinglan, Nan Fusheng's heart stirred slightly, and a Time Worm appeared in Ye Xinglan's body, then parasitized her brain!

It was rare that Ye Xinglan and the Violent Worm were so compatible, so he didn't want to kill her. Instead, he was curious about Ye Xinglan's subsequent changes.

As for parasitizing Ye Xinglan and such?

Although he wasn't close to Ye Xinglan, they had seen each other frequently and had even fought side-by-side on the Star Luo Continent. Therefore, Nan Fusheng didn't intend to turn her into a clone; he was just that "loyal and righteous."

Okay. Actually, Nan Fusheng just felt that turning Ye Xinglan into a clone was too boring. He wanted to have some fun, and he wanted to make the Violent Worm return its consciousness to Ye Xinglan.

I wonder how Ye Xinglan will face herself when she wakes up.

Ye Xinglan's current soul power has reached level sixty-six.

Tsk tsk, it hasn't even been a few days since Shrek Academy was destroyed. To be able to raise one's soul power to level 66 in such a short time, one can only imagine how many people Ye Xinglan has killed.

Nodding to Duanmu Yan, Nan Fusheng said nothing and simply picked up Ye Xinglan and left.

"Captain, are you alright?" Not long after Nan Fusheng left, the other four arrived late and asked Duanmu Yan.

"It's alright, but Ye Xinglan was taken away. It was the main body that took her away." Duanmu Yan said the last sentence using mental transmission.

"Huh? So our mission failed?" the other four said, somewhat dejectedly.

"Yes, we failed." Duanmu Yan looked into the factory. "But we did gain something else. The corpses of those people Ye Xinglan killed inside the building had an extremely cold aura. They must have been evil spirit masters."

"Although we failed to capture her, resulting in the mission's failure, discovering the evil spirit master's whereabouts is an unexpected bonus."
