Volume 1, Chapter 144: The Pill of the Wandering Soul
For such pathetic trash, Ji Die casually formed a hand seal, and instantly two fiery serpents materialized, obliterating the two souls before they could even utter a single miserable scream!
However, where one of them had perished, a grey fruit appeared.
The remaining elder, whose aura was withered, sensed this terrifying presence. His eyes trembled, his body curled up in fear, and as he looked at the grey fruit, a trace of eager desire flickered within his gaze.
Paying no attention to him, Ji Die also noticed the grey fruit. He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion, pulling the fruit through the air directly into his palm.
Unlike any fruit he had ever seen, its surface radiated grey mist, and it felt somewhat chilly to the touch.
"This must be the Wandering Soul Pellet!"...
The newcomer wore grey clothes and a foolish hat, with high cheekbones and a thoroughly ordinary face... In his rough hand, he grasped a long sword forged of solid gold.
"How many gold coins do you have?" The middle-aged man looked the Supreme Handsome Guy up and down before asking again.
Having received Gu Zheng's praise, Li'er finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Afterward, she probed even more diligently for all sorts of information that Gu Zheng wished to know, determined to seize this opportunity to make Gu Zheng trust and value her.
Hearing him speak as if he were entrusting his final affairs to them, Lu Shaoxi and Qin Ruxian felt even more uneasy. Could it be that Yan Tianbei had no confidence whatsoever in tomorrow noon's duel against Katsuta Takeda?
To the onlookers, Li Yihang's kick appeared utterly ordinary and unremarkable, but in the eyes of Zhong Tianxuan, it was an immensely marvelous maneuver. He immediately gathered his focus, raised his knee to parry the groin-kick, and stepping forward swiftly, brought his foot down to stamp on Li Yihang's crotch. At this moment, it was the turn of the Beidou disciples to cheer and the Qingzhu Gang members to hurl insults.
Shangguan Yu did not give chase, seeming almost unable to believe what had just happened. Only yesterday, he had been pinned firmly by the other's hands with zero capability to resist, relying entirely on a single kiss to settle the world, yet today he had beaten the fellow so soundly that he fled in a miserable panic. Filled with boundless joy, he could not help but burst into hearty laughter. At this moment, his mood was truly more exultant than ascending to the position of Sect Leader.
To his knowledge, besides himself, only Uchiha Madara and Zetsu knew of this. However, those two clearly would not betray him, so who on earth could it be?!
Moreover, even a thousand years later, he hailed from a prominent clan and later became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. What had he never witnessed before?!
The golden dragon let out a cry of pain, but its gaze grew even more ferocious. Taking advantage of Bai He's claw strike, it abruptly clamped its wings together to restrict Bai He's movements, then delivered a heavy kick with its hind legs, sending Bai He hurtling backward. Fortunately, Bai He had been on guard beforehand and leveraged the momentum to widen the distance. Although his internal organs were violently shaken into turmoil, he did not sustain any severe injuries.
Lu Sheng said, "If you want to know what is fun on this estate, you must ask Brother Cheng Er." Zhang Buzhou did not understand what he meant and looked over at Cheng Er.
"We are not just a dozen or so people; we are an entire village of several hundred souls," Wen Xingjia said.
An engineering sorcerer let out a yawn. They had long known that the people inside the city would react, but the shaman spirits shouldn't be this nervous—could something urgent have broken out?
Wen Nuan's irrepressibly joyful voice reached Bai Muyang's ears. His jaw was tightly clenched, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping the reins turned slightly white.
Qin Shaoyou believed that as long as he provided the blueprints, coupled with Luo Yongwang's exceptional research and craftsmanship abilities, they would undoubtedly be able to build it.
A dozen or so days flashed by in the blink of an eye. The group had already traversed the Golden Domain and Earth Domain, arriving at the mandatory passage into the Demonic Flame Sea—the Circular Bend. Waiting for them there was a grand formation laid down by the Fire Demon King Huolie: the Raging Flame Array.
His cold, crisp voice was unusually gentle as he spoke these words, his fingers affectionately pinching Chi Ning's rosy cheek.
Almost at the exact moment when the dull thud caused a stir in the camp below, the Modor clan and their vassal clans launched their assault on the encampment.
They cared little about the cost; as long as they could buy their lives, they were willing to exhaust all they possessed.
With that, he lowered his head and burst into laughter, hysterical like a puppet stripped of its soul. Then, he abruptly jerked his head up, his crimson eyes seemingly completely lost within a realm of no return.
The few of them had not lowered their voices during their conversation, and Ye Ziluo had been keeping his ears perverted and alert the entire time. Thus, even though the distance was somewhat apart, he hadn't missed a single word that should have been heard. The title "Lord Demon Emperor" uttered by Meilu sounded particularly endearing to Ye Ziluo's ears.
In front of the Peerless Beauty and Body Aesthetics Chain Store, Guan Yushey and the salon staff were arguing fiercely, drawing a large crowd of onlookers, while some patrons receiving services inside the salon also rushed out.
"This morning, in a house on Shatowun, a male corpse was discovered. It is reported that the deceased is the owner of the house, named Zhou Weiliang. Preliminary forensic examination indicates that Zhou Weiliang died between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM yesterday. The cause of death was a stab wound to the heart in the chest area."
Zhao Village was barely ten miles away from the city walls—extremely close. Moreover, with that overwhelming smell of blood reeking to the heavens, Ye Ziluo didn't even need to ask anyone for directions; he managed to track the place down directly.
As Luo Luo wholeheartedly returned to this fundamental level of purity, his opponent grew bewildered. Just as Luo Luo made up his mind to use a chess style of absolute fairness, uprightness, and benevolence to counter Master Shisha—forcing his opponent into a state of utter calculation failure—Master Shisha fell into a predicament he never could have anticipated.
Lin Yi recalled slightly, but could not find this name among the known members of the Taurus Palace. Yet judging by the surname "Jin" (Gold), he surmised it must share some connection with Jin Liehan, the Master of the Taurus Palace.
Throughout the entire process, only Nalan opened her mouth, yet failed to utter a single word. Seeing that Prince Anxin had no intention of speaking for the moment, Luo Luo took his leave and rose to depart. Prince Anxin offered a few more polite remarks and instructed Hurohan by his side to escort Luo Luo out, while he himself pulled Nalan toward the inner chambers.
Although the Qin army's crossbow bolts failed to kill the war elephants, they successfully wounded the riders mounted upon them. In the cavalry clash between the Qin army and the Kushan army, the well-equipped Qin army clearly held the upper hand.
Tang Jin breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, a sudden flicker of light caught the corner of his eye. Unconsciously turning his head, he saw several shooting stars vanish into the darkness of the starry sky toward the direction of the coastline.
