CHAPTER 1768: CHAPTER 1762: THE OLD HAND LEAVES, THE NEW HAND ARRIVES

It seems she sensed something, as Lu Xiaojie, who was observing the battle with a worried face from the side, began to retreat, her gaze sweeping around.

Meanwhile, Tang Ye, on the other side, successfully delivered a punch amidst a roar, aiming straight at the doll-like goat’s head as it charged forward! What he didn’t know was that as the punch landed, everything around began to tremble, the illusion’s hold on him started to weaken, and then, in Lu Xiaojie’s eyes, everything became transparent, vaguely revealing the writhing tentacles outside.

"This..." She was somewhat surprised, perhaps not expecting Tang Ye’s power to shake things that were originally unshakeable. However, the transparency of the surrounding environment was just a fleeting moment; soon, it was no longer transparent, and Tang Ye’s punch pierced the doll-like goat’s defenses like a steel needle, penetrating directly!

A hoarse and shrill scream, like gears jamming, echoed across the sky in the next second, as the massive body was sent flying like a great football kicked hard, smashing into the distance!

Lu Xiaojie withdrew her gaze, looking at Tang Ye, but upon seeing the flying doll-like goat, she became anxious.

"Hurry up! There’s no time!"

The doll-like goat wasn’t dead; knocking it away meant more time would be needed to approach and kill it!

Tang Ye glanced at Lu Xiaojie, understanding this perfectly well, so he didn’t dare to delay, accelerating right to the doll-like goat’s side as it struggled to stand from the ground, only to have Tang Ye come underneath its belly and thrust his hand directly into it!

Huh~

A low growl emerged, the white hair on his head flying, and immediately, the already massive doll-like goat expanded once again! But this time, the expansion was not of its own will, but spurred by Tang Ye. Soon, the skin of the doll-like goat showed cracks one after another, these extending further, and in an instant, bone spurs burst through its skin from different places! They grew wildly, dividing it continuously, the enormous body suddenly turned into a breach, pouring black sand ash!

Until the doll-like goat lay still, its body flattened like a sheet of torn skin, he withdrew his hand, taking a relieved breath, and turned his gaze to Lu Xiaojie.

"It’s resolved!"

With his words, Lu Xiaojie in the distance didn’t relax; her expression was serious while watching herself, affecting Tang Ye who subconsciously looked behind, but saw nothing. Just as he turned back, Lu Xiaojie suddenly shouted, "Li Henian! Watch out above!"

"What?" Tang Ye jerked his head up to look at the sky, finding no expected blue, only an utterly pure black!

Swoosh~

Like a sheet pulled swiftly from a stack of books, the sound echoed. At this moment, not only Tang Ye but Lu Xiaojie too saw darkness, panic finally overtaking her. Despite having anticipated such a situation, she wasn’t prepared for this!

She now didn’t know what to do, only able to watch the black wall linking heaven and earth in front of her, praying.

Tang Ye was now within utter darkness, surrounded only by black, seeing nothing, as if his eyes were shut!

The space seemed infinite, without end. He walked a few steps, reaching to touch his eyes, finding nothing and falling silent. Scenes like these, Tang Ye had seen more than once or twice, but unlike before, this darkness brought an undeniable sense of danger.

He stared forward unyieldingly, motionless, or rather sensing around him, finding no sense of space, even time seemed to fade away. How long Tang Ye stood was unknown, seconds or hours, with nothing happening around, he attempted to step forward. But as his foot moved, something suddenly brushed against his face. This feeling, ...a hand?

Tang Ye reacted instantly, the blood and flesh on his body flowed like water, forming a spiral cone aimed backward. Yet oddly, it felt as if there was a wall behind, unable to push the flesh forward. Tang Ye simply abandoned this direction, his body dissipated, becoming a mini sandstorm sweeping ahead! Upon feeling it was adequate, he reformed his body, but the feeling of a hand covering his face remained!

Suddenly realizing something, the flesh on his arm flipped out, growing a stout bone spur, swung it behind, but found only empty space once again!

"Come out!" In an instant, he retracted his arm transformed into a bone spur, his back growing two more arms, grasping for the hand covering his face!

Feeling something caught, without hesitation, Tang Ye controlled the two arms on his back to pry hard, while his original hands stabbed fiercely forward!

Pfft~

Seems like he hit something? Tang Ye dared not be careless; he couldn’t see his foe. With effort from the two arms on his back, the hand on his face was pulled off, he opened his eyes, still seeing nothing as before, but feeling somewhat better nonetheless.

After finishing, his back hands exerted force, wanting to punish the creature that had shrouded him, but his expression froze, discovering not only he had more than one arm, but so did the foe; the hands on his back grabbed the enemy’s hand, yet another hand covered his face!

"Damn it!"

Tang Ye cursed inwardly, the flesh on his back protruded, growing another arm to grasp the hand newly covering his face, then forcefully tearing it away, luckily the enemy’s strength wasn’t his equal, quickly freeing his face again!

But the feeling didn’t last, again a hand covered him, inside Tang Ye’s mind a myriad of complaints rushed by, helplessly sprouting another pair on his back to pry away the hand once more. After doing so, he sensed something, as expected, in mere seconds, from somewhere another hand extended and covered him again.

At this point, Tang Ye was speechless.

"Never-ending?"

He couldn’t comprehend; blind in this place, facing the enemy always shrouding him, what was the meaning? Or was there a deeper madness?
