"Then I'll have to start from this flaw." Yan continued the conversation.
"A soulless body can truly give full play to extremely powerful abilities, but if he wants to keep the body alive, he must use life-exchanging talisman water. The reason why it is called life-exchanging talisman water is that it can take another's life to extend his own life. Sister Lan must also have been given such a thing. She must get other's life in every 49 days. This secret technique was invented by Shang Yang in Qin dynasty. He used this way to keep Qin Army's strength, and also led to that the Qin Army had to continue fighting and devouring souls. Bai Qi killed 400,000 soldiers from state of Zhao, just in order to obtain the 400,000 souls to extend Qin Army's life. After Ying Zheng, the first emperor united the six states, there was no enough souls from the slaughter which caused the drop in combat effectiveness and resulted in dynasty's perish. Of course, this was a legend from a few thousand years ago. After that, since the tridhatu remains stable, there was a strict control on souls, so this kind of thing did not happen anymore. Who knows it happened today." Yan sighed as he spoke.
"So that's why I came back so late. "Liu Shuai bit his lips," I always feel that Sister Lan is weird, and I also felt that you were weird at dinner time, when you had some corpse smells which is very weak, as if you were dead. I presumed it was because the wild game was not fresh, so I didn't eat anything. But when we went to the hot spring together, I didn't find anything wrong. I was worried after you left and followed you. But I was lost on the way and it was definitely that someone was playing "Ghosts Pounding the Wall" to me. I broke it out with force and finally got here. I do feel there are many problems here, so we'd better leave as soon as possible."
I realized that Liu Shuai's breath was uneven when he said this, so it was obvious that he was a bit distracted.
At this time, Liu Shuai's expression changed greatly when there was a sudden clap of thunder and heavy gale was blowing outside. The whole building was shaking as well. He took out the bottle, placed Zhou Yuan's soul inside, and then Liu Shuai rushed to the window to look at the situation outside. I didn't understand what was going on, so I walked over to the bedside with him.
"Did you find anything strange?" Liu Shuai said to me.
"It seems," I carefully watch out and shouted out, "No! It seems like only the trees near our villa are blown by the wind. Look at the opposite villa, the trees are not moving at all!"
"This is a spell for separate two worlds. I am definitely not a match for the one who is able to use such spell…" Liu Shuai looked out of the window, then looked at Yan. He suddenly bowed: "Today, we are relying on you!"
"Hahaha, this kid is worth teaching!" Yan looked proud. He glanced at me, as if he wanted to let me know how powerful he was. "This little spell is still not good enough for me. Liu Shuai, you just need to seal all the windows in this room. Let's see who exactly this Sister Lan is! "
Liu Shuai nodded, and took out a few piece of paper from his bosom, biting through his finger, causing blood to flow out, and drawing out some strange runes. At the same time, he chanted an incantation, and all the runes suddenly lit up and burned into ashes in the air. Under the light of the lamp, the grey ashes turned into a gold color and did not fall to the ground, but floating in the air. Liu Shuai made a hand gesture and spelt the word 'Ji', the gold ashes suddenly exploded, covering the surrounding walls. Yan looked at Liu Shuai with appreciation. "Not bad, young man, using the Divine Transformation technique to activate the Two Elements Golden Light. It is extraordinary at your age."
"Hahahahaha!" Suddenly, a shrill laughter came from the sky, and the lights on the ceiling started to shake violently, as though they were about to crack. The golden light seemed to have a mind, every time there was a hole, the light was able to resistance and squeeze the hole back. It looked like the both sides were pulling a saw, while one opened it and the other closed it. This made the wall seem to have life. The ear-piercing voice started to speak, "Yan, you are an Underworld Law Enforcer, but we are doing things in the mortal world, and it is not against the rules. Moreover, we are not dead yet. So how do you dare to attack us?"
"It seems that you, the fiendish demons know a lot. No wonder you can use this method to kill humans!" Yan looked at the continuously wiggling wall, stretched out his right hand, and with a snap of his fingers, the wall immediately returned to its original form. There was no movement from the wall. I looked out of the window, the gale was weakened gradually.
"Don't frame us. We have never killed anyone, and the soul who committed suicide will not go to the Underworld. "The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to be right next to one's ear. " This is the new clause after the May 4th Seal God event. You already knew it, and no need to pretend being good here."
Hearing that, Yan's face changed. Yan raised his right hand above head, opened his hand and suddenly clenched his fist, causing the entire room to spin, but I did not feel dizzy. Looking outside the window, I realized that what was spinning was not our room, but the rest of world! "Who exactly are you, and how did you learn all the information?"
"Why did the scenery outside spin?" I didn't understand, and quietly asked Liu Shuai.
"My idol! He's using the Searching the World method, placing the surroundings outside the window neither turning nor no-turning, in order to find out the other party. It's very likely that the other party doesn't have a soul as well, the traditional method of soul-searching has no use." Liu Shuai looked at the situation outside and couldn't help but praise, "Only in this kind of condition can he find the form which is between the life and the death. However, even my master doesn't know this method."
"What is it? Neither turning nor no-turning". I was confused. It was spinning so violently outside that I felt dizzy just by looking at it.
Liu Shuai took out his phone and was about to demonstrate something to me when I saw his phone and shouted, "When did you get the iPhone X?! Does its wireless charging work? The fringe is so ugly. "
"There is no time to care about these details!" He was covered in cold sweat as he spoke. He turned on the camera on his cell phone and pointed to the world outside the window, "Look, the camera's good. Ah, forget it. Look at the scenery outside."
I silently cursed that how can you be so shameless to criticize me, but aren't you also extremely proud of the phone?
I glanced at the screen and looked at outside. I was surprised to see that the view in the camera had not rotated at all, but the one in my eyes was still rotating. Just as I was about to ask again, I heard Yan shout "Got it!" The view stopped spinning, and was as still as that on the cellphone screen. At this time, Yan's raised his hand and gradually leaned forward, when I felt the entire house floating up, quickly flying forward.
It ran through the woods, and I was surprised to find that the trees went through our bodies. I tried to touch them with my hands, but I touched nothing. Gradually the house flew to the plaza in front of the entrance of the villas, and the plaza was empty. Yan's fist suddenly opened and the house we were in exploded, turning into a pile of gold powder and scattered in all directions. Three human figures appeared under the plaza slowly. They were Sister Lan and the other two men.
"Good work!" Sister Lan clapped and said, "But there is no conflict between us, right? You are the Ghost Immortal, and it is your job to take souls. However the soul in your hands is not the one you should get. Furthermore, this person is still in the mortal world, so it would be hard for you to take his soul back to the Underworld. If you can't handle it properly, you might be convicted of forcefully detaining a living human's soul, so why don't you give it to us? "
"You bunch of trash. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? Hand over the remaining talisman water now!" Yan sneered. His body suddenly tensed, revealing a faintly discernible gold light. Yan was startled, "Immortal Tying Rope!"
"You actually know it, High Immortal." Sister Lan smiled even more brilliantly, "Fortunately, Grand Mother gave us this life-saving treasure. If you didn't personally come to us, and were careful enough, we won't have the chance to use it!"
"Do you think I don't know? Immortal Tying Ropewas was lost long time ago," Yan suddenly struggled, the golden light shattered on the ground, "This is obviously a fake that will not trap me."
"Fake?" I muttered to myself, "Could it be that Yan's world also has fakes?"
Sister Lan sneered: "Of course not, but this Immortal Tying Seal can prevent you from using magic power for a short period, and that's good enough!"
Yan tried to move, and his face changed.
When Sister Lan realized that she was successful, she suddenly pointed her finger towards the sky. The sky which was initially with golden moon suddenly filled with dark clouds. Instantly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Among them, nine bucket-thick thunderbolts struck from the sky.
"Thunder Sovereign of the Nine Heavens!"
Just at that moment when Sister Lan was pointing her finger at the sky, Liu Shuai immediately sat down, made a seal with his hands, and chanted an incantation. Suddenly, he also pointed to the sky, and the gold powder scattered all over suddenly gathered and formed the shape of the room once again. The thunderbolts struck the thin layer of the gold powder with lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. However they did not break the golden powder, so they continued striking one by one. Every time a thunderbolt struck, Liu Shuai's face would turn whiter than before, and when the last thunderbolt struck, fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, then he was about to fall down.
Zhou Yuan was completely scared just now, but now he reacted quickly and immediately sat on the ground, holding Liu Shuai in his arms and preventing him from falling.
"He's used too much essence energy." Yan hurriedly took out a pill from his pocket and fed it to Liu Shuai, "We'll have troubles. If he is unconscious, we won't be able to get out!"
At this time, it seemed that Sister Lan had used up all her energy and fainted on the ground as well. The two men beside her with a dull look in their eyes and did not make the slightest movement. A sharp voice which they could not tell it's a man or a woman, came from the outside: "Yan, although you do not have any supernatural power, you still have a title. Me, the Grand Mother, No matter how capable I am, I can only trap you but can't shatter your soul. However, you won't be able to save these few fresh souls! You can leave now and hand over those souls to me. Don't worry, I will not make troubles for you. First, I will fall those souls into alive animals, and then kill the animals. The dead body with soul left will not be under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, so even if I take these souls, I will not make it hard for you to explain! "
As the voice faded, the scenery outside the square gradually turned blurry until nothing could be seen clearly. Needless to say, this was two world separating technique, and the entire square was apart …
"Hum hum, don't bluff! Your real body is not here. These three people have already become your puppets. This woman has exhausted all of your energy in her body!" Yan roared, then frowned and looked at me, and said softly, "What she said is true that I have no magic power now. The best thing is, I will negotiate with her and let her get you out."
"How can you say that! This is clearly an intrigue to divide the power! "I watched the scenery outside and said loudly, "How can I leave like this! These are our friends! How can you just stand by and watch us die! "
"My job was to stand by and watch you die!" Yan replied. Although there's nothing wrong with his words, his ice-cold reply was still hard to accept.
Yan looked at me, lowered his head, thought for a while, and raised his head and shouted, "Where are you from, how dare you demon destroy souls here? If our Underworld find it out, we will send you to the Land of Ninth Nether, never to reincarnate!"
"Hahaha, there are so few talented people in the Underworld. If it was a few decades earlier, I would still be wary of you. But now, since you don't know how to appreciate favors, don't blame me for breaking the rules!" As Grand Mother spoke, the lightning began to flash outside and thunder rumbled. After a while, hail began to fall and hit the thin layer of gold powder by the blowing winds.
"I've only get the basics of the Two Elements Golden Radiance, and I won't be able to hold on for long. The odds are against me tonight..." Liu Shuai slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "Fair enough. Zhou Yuan, help me sit properly."
Zhou Yuan lost his wits, holding up Liu Shuai with his trembled hands. "Zhou Yuan, although the calamity today was caused by your wills that wants to get extraordinary ability to improve yourself by losing your soul. But anyway, we were responsible for the incorrect evaluation to you in the past as well, so I also deserve it. I'm sorry that I didn't expect our evaluation to be so harmful. On behalf of the R & D colleagues, I want to tell you that we have never had any complaints or doubts about your character and your attitudes towards work. All of our past complaints and denials were not directed at you personally, but only to the fact itself."
"You saw it today, because of your greed, we may never have a tomorrow. I hope that in the future, you can listen to the voice of your soul and not let it distort …"
Zhou Yuan's voice became softer and softer, gradually becoming silent. Zhou Yuan was already crying into tears: "Liu Shuai, you can't die like this. It's all my fault! It's silly me! How can I not know that no pains no gains."
Liu Shuai suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Zhou Yuan. "Who told you I am dead? I am activating the Two Elements Golden Radiance! "
Zhou Yuan and I were extremely embarrassed, for we shouldn't have been so sensational just now. Liu Shuai ignored us and muttered an incantation, then he took out a needle from somewhere and inserted it into his forehead. His pale face became even paler.
Quick, give this to him! Yan took out a pill, and told me to place it under Liu Shuai's tongue, "He is forcing himself to convert his essence energy into power, and if he does not replenish some energy, I am afraid he will die from exhaustion!"
"You have so many pills …" I couldn't help but exclaim. This pill was in brown, and not only did it give off a peculiar light, but also had a nice fragrance.
"Of course," Yan said with a little pride. "This is the high-energy Maltesers that I bought. One piece now is equals to five pcs before.
I was suddenly speechless. "You use Maltesers to make spiritual medicine? How poor is your Underworld!? I thought it was some good stuff, but how unreliable you are! "
Yan got a bit embarrassed after getting scolded by me, "The magic pills in your TV plays that could save lives are just these stuff, aren't they? What's more, he really need to replenish his energy…"
At that time, the house became blurt and the hail outside the window seemed to have stopped. Lying in front of the window, I saw that the hail was slowly flying towards the window at a speed which was visible to the naked eye. Strangely, when the hail approached the window, it suddenly disappeared, as if it had entered another space, and flew outwards to another space.
"What is this? Two Elements Dust Array? "The voice began to yell, "No! Why was there only Illusion Gate? Where are the other five of Life Gate, Death Gate, Night Gate, Light Gate and Extermination Gate? You little bald donkey, this Two Elements Dust Array that only has Illusion Gate is no more than a fake. It's true that everything in your city could be copied, but only with this kind of ability, it can't stop me. The Soul Hunters, Go! "
With the words, the two men's bodies immediately trembled. They stared at our position, and their eyes shot out green light as they quickly ran towards us. They got to our gold powder wall and punched it, as if they were hitting Liu Shuai's chest, which cause him to spill out another mouthful of blood.
"Oh no, the Illusion Gate cannot block the real body, and these two people are real human body!" Yan moved again, but he still did not have any magic power, "What should we do now? These two people are obviously boosted by the secret technique, and they are specialize in training physical strength and martial power. Without magic power, I am no match for them. We will be killed."
