"Wang Li Ren, stop..."
As more of Ge Er's strength drained away, he completely lost the power to resist. His massive dragon body lay limp on the cold floor, unable to move.
Worn down by the long years, Ge Er had little strength left. Even though he had absorbed some of Ye Ling's blood, it was reclaimed by Ye Ling before he could even convert it. Ge Er was now all brawn and no substance.
Facing Ge Er's pleas for mercy, Ye Ling showed no softness, instead increasing the absorption rate.
Ye Ling now understood that in this powerless prison, everyone was a vicious criminal. If you didn't deal with others, you would be dealt with.
Furthermore, Ge Er was a minion of the Primordial Soul King. In a sense, Ye Ling and Ge Er were enemies, so Ye Ling had no reason to hold back.
As Ye Ling extracted all the spiritual energy contained in Ge Er's blood, Ge Er's massive dragon body became incredibly shriveled. Ye Ling's Devouring Domain and Mo Zhi Jian could barely maintain balance, using the spiritual energy sealed by the masked man to allow Mo Zhi Jian to modify the masked man's seal.
However, Ye Ling's Devouring Domain and Mo Zhi Jian were currently very fragile. To completely break the masked man's seal... Ye Ling roughly estimated it would take a hundred thousand years.
Although a hundred thousand years was like a drop in the bucket for this dungeon, Ye Ling couldn't wait.
Ge Er, his blood drained, lay on the floor and weakly stared at Ye Ling, chuckling, "I never imagined... I would fall to a low-level being like you... Soul King, it seems I can no longer wait for your return alive..."
As Ge Er spoke, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Wang Li Ren... I remember you. When the Soul King returns and revives me, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth," Ge Er threatened Ye Ling even in his dying moments.
"You're in this state, and you're still threatening me? You must have been locked up here for too long, and your brain has gone bad," Ye Ling taunted Ge Er. "Your master can't even protect himself, so how could he spare a thought for you?"
"Hmph! The Soul King is invincible in the world. You, a mere low-level human, have no idea of his power!" Ge Er snorted coldly.
"Yes, yes, your master is invincible. I, Ye Ling, am invincible," Ye Ling shrugged at Ge Er. "If you can be resurrected in the future, come find me for revenge. I, Wang Li Ren, welcome you anytime."
"But for now..."
Ye Ling absorbed a bloody dragon scale from the floor into his hand and casually flicked it at Ge Er!
*Hiss!*
The dragon scale directly severed Ge Er's head, splashing golden dragon blood all over Ye Ling.
"That's about it. Time to check on the other two cellmates."
Ye Ling absorbed all the blood splattered on him with his Devouring Domain, ignored Ge Er's massive dragon head, and turned to walk deeper into the prison.
The dim light from the prison entrance and along the corridor allowed Ye Ling to see vaguely, but the depths of the prison had no light sources at all, leaving Ye Ling in complete darkness.
Now, the only things Ye Ling could rely on to discern direction were his sense of smell and hearing.
"How big is this prison? Is it necessary to have such large cells for prisoners?"
Ye Ling walked for more than ten minutes without reaching the end or encountering any creatures, muttering to himself.
However, despite his grumbling, Ye Ling remained vigilant, constantly aware of his surroundings.
After all, the prisoners in this jail were all powerhouses of the same disaster level as him.
Even Ge Er at the entrance, who was given away for free, was not to be underestimated.
If Ge Er hadn't been significantly weakened and had been more cautious, Ye Ling wouldn't have succeeded so easily.
And from Ge Er's words, the other two inside the prison were even stronger than Ge Er.
Ye Ling had not yet fully removed the seals within his body. In such extreme conditions, if he were careless, it would be equivalent to courting death.
*Drip...*
Suddenly, Ye Ling heard the sound of water dripping onto the floor.
"Hmm?"
Ye Ling looked in the direction of the "drip" sound, but it was pitch black, and Ye Ling couldn't see anything.
With no other option, Ye Ling walked towards the source of the sound.
*Drip...*
Another drop of water landed precisely in front of Ye Ling.
Ye Ling looked up and saw a pair of golden pupils staring at him in the darkness.
Ye Ling could vaguely make out a pair of massive fangs beneath those golden pupils.
And the dripping sound was the saliva sliding down those fangs!
"This!!!"
Seeing the giant beast staring at him, Ye Ling's pupils constricted sharply, and he immediately retreated!
*Bang!!!*
The moment Ye Ling retreated, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground came from in front of him. Then, Ye Ling saw two golden arcs rushing towards him.
"So fast!"
Seeing this, Ye Ling had no time to dodge and was hit by the beast's head.
*Bang!!!*
Ye Ling was sent flying like a cannonball. But before he could stop himself, he saw those two golden arcs soar into the air, making a perfect arc, and attacking him!
"Damn it!" Ye Ling had no choice but to brace himself for the attack. But just as the arcs were about to hit Ye Ling, they vanished into the darkness!
"Vanished?"
Seeing the light from those eyes disappear and hearing no further movement around him, Ye Ling's nerves were stretched to the absolute limit.
He still didn't know who his opponent was or what their abilities were. Moreover, the enemy didn't seem affected by the darkness... Ye Ling was now in an extremely passive position.
Just as Ye Ling was using his hearing to locate the enemy, he heard the dripping sound again.
Ye Ling's pupils constricted sharply.
*Chii!!!*
Sharp fangs ruthlessly pierced Ye Ling's shoulder, biting down hard!
"Nngh!!!"
Ye Ling cried out in pain, managing to brace himself with both hands against the beast's upper jaw behind him, preventing it from crushing him.
The beast hadn't expected Ye Ling to be so strong. A flicker of surprise flashed in its eyes, and it increased its biting force. The fangs dug deeper into Ye Ling's body, beginning to draw his blood.
"You want to drain my blood? It won't be that easy!"
Seeing his vitality being continuously absorbed, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he pulled his body with all his might!
*Shred!*
Ye Ling directly tore apart his bitten shoulder, along with his left arm and part of his body, using the momentum to roll out of the beast's gaping maw!
The beast swallowed Ye Ling's arm in one gulp and retreated back into the darkness.
Ye Ling escaped with his life, ignoring the intense pain from his body. He immediately tore off his shirt, wrapped the wound on the left side of his body to stop the bleeding!
As Ye Ling finished bandaging his wound with his single arm, a gust of foul wind came from behind him!
