Soul Possession

"Old man, don't you know the Five Evil Seals?"

Si Ming was dissatisfied. He had held back for so long because he wanted to experience the Five Evil Seals more often and secretly learn this magical martial art that had caused him so much trouble. Who would have thought that the opponent hadn't used it even once in the battle?

"I am a practitioner of magic, not martial arts, so naturally I do not know the Five Evil Seals."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You've wasted so much of my time! You might as well just die!"

Si Ming raised an angry eyebrow, channeled his inner energy, and manifested a massive, Vajra Wrathful Form, unleashing a punch with no skill whatsoever.

"You're a monk from the Glazed Temple! Why are the people of the Southern Martial World...?"

Before the old man could finish speaking, he was punched to pieces by the Vajra Wrathful Form. Blood splattered everywhere and fell to the ground, but it quickly coalesced into a ball and wriggled back into human form.

"It's useless, your attacks can't hurt the old man..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched to death by Si Ming, blood splattering everywhere, but he quickly reformed.

"Can't you understand human language? This kind of attack is..."

Bang bang bang!

Si Ming completely ignored the other party. As soon as he saw the old man's blood was about to clump together, he punched him away, not giving him a chance to transform back into human form.

Those Blood Abyss Sect disciples who had intended to come and help felt their hearts turn cold upon seeing the hundred-foot-tall Vajra Wrathful Form. They dared not step forward to court death, and some of the quicker-thinking ones immediately packed their valuables and fled.

The old man's curses were initially full of confidence, but as Si Ming continued to shatter his body, not giving him a chance to dispel the blood transformation, his voice gradually lowered and became weak. His curses turned into pleas for mercy, and he was even willing to swear to hand over the sect's ultimate technique, the "Five Evil Seals." Unfortunately, Si Ming did not give him a chance to speak at all.

Finally Si Ming blasted the old man's body apart once more. This time, the old man failed to reform and truly turned into blood, which spilled onto the earth, staining the soil red.

On the other side, when the white-haired man saw Si Ming continuously blasting the deputy sect leader's body, he already had the idea of retreating. He immediately struck out with a palm, forcing Chen Shimi back, and turned to flee in the direction away from the Blood Abyss Sect base.

However, he hadn't escaped far when he was struck by a Torrent of Law Power.

"Divine Calamity Form, the Fall of the Gods!"

The Torrent of Law Power, brimming with the aura of calamity, easily pierced through the white-haired man's True Qi. It then swiftly stripped him of his life force, and amidst his agonizing cries, completely stripped away his flesh and blood, leaving him with only a skeleton.

Chapter 550 Soul Possession

Although the white-haired man's cultivation level hadn't reached the Spirit Transformation stage, it was still among the highest levels below that. Yet, he couldn't withstand a single move and was easily stripped of all his life force, turning from a living person into a skeleton in the blink of an eye.

"How could she be so ferocious? Is she being controlled? No, Qingqing doesn't know this Technique Method at all. Even if her mind is being controlled, she couldn't possibly use a martial art she doesn't know."

Anyone who knew Liu Qingqing could immediately notice her unusual behavior; the contrast was too stark. Si Ming was no exception. However, being skilled and daring, he didn't react with the same wariness as Si Huaruo. He directly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Are you possessing Liu Qingqing's body, or are you impersonating her?"

Upon approaching, he could sense the intense Blood Sha Qi emanating from the other party, as if he were a god of death emerging from Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood. Si Ming frowned slightly, deciding to capture the person first.

Unexpectedly, before Si Ming could even make a move, the Blood Sha Qi around Liu Qingqing suddenly dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, her domineering queenly demeanor vanished. She seemed to lose consciousness and fell into a coma, her body leaning backward. Si Ming quickly stepped forward and caught her.

At this moment, Si Huaruo came out of the Blood Abyss Sect base and, seeing the situation, hurriedly asked, "How is Qingqing?"

Si Ming was quite worried about Liu Qingqing's safety. The situation just now seemed to indicate either that she had gone into Qi Deviation possession or that she had been possessed. Either way, it was not a good thing, so he couldn't help but feel anxious. He said, "You're asking me? I'm the one who should be asking you that. How come she went into the cave and came out looking like a completely different person?"

"... I'm sorry, I infiltrated the Blood Abyss Sect with her before, but we were stopped by two experts in front of the secret chamber at the stone gate. I wanted to gather intelligence as quickly as possible, so I let Qingqing go into the secret chamber first while I held off the enemy alone. I didn't expect things to turn out like this after Qingqing came out. I should have gone in with her."

Si Ming Si Huaruo's low spirits, Si Ming immediately realized his tone was off and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was just anxious and took it out on you. This has nothing to do with you. Your decision wasn't wrong. No one expected this to happen. If you had gone in with her, you might have ended up like Qingqing. Then I would have had to worry about and take care of two people. I can only say that it's fortunate you didn't go in with her."

Upon hearing this, Si Huaruo's mood immediately soared, her face brightening. She twirled a strand of hair with her fingers and said, "I'm glad you think that way... The most urgent thing is to go find that old Daoist priest. Since he's from the same lineage as the Blood Abyss Sect, he should know the inside story." At least she hadn't forgotten the important matter.

Si Ming nodded and then asked, "By the way, only the two of you came out. Are there no hostages inside?"

Recalling the enormous cage piled high with countless corpses she had seen in the stone chamber, Si Huaruo's expression turned grave. She said, "All the hostages are dead, and in a very cruel way... These guys are unforgivable!"

"I understand. Take care of yourself and be careful not to get hurt by Yu Jin."

Si Ming handed Liu Qingqing to Si Huaruo, leaped onto the Blood Abyss Sect, and without any further worries, gathered terrifying nuclear energy in his hands. Two atomic-shaped light spheres slowly merged, transforming into a small sun. This was a power completely different from the previous ground-washing bombardment.

"The Star Core Decay Blazing Sun Descent!"

With both hands pressing down, the miniature sun crashed into the valley below. The moment it touched the ground, all the energy it contained exploded, emitting a large amount of light and heat. The night sky within a hundred miles instantly turned into daylight, and a violent shockwave destroyed everything. The earth trembled violently, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable burden, and a thick mushroom cloud slowly rose.

After the ultimate move, the Blood Abyss Sect was razed to the ground, and Yuntian Mountain was reduced to ruins, its height halved. The Blood Abyss Sect disciples in the epicenter of the nuclear explosion instantly vaporized, leaving no trace of their bodies. Those further away were affected by the residual force, suffering severe burns and head injuries. Only those disciples who had sensed the danger from the beginning and fled far away managed to survive. This group numbered less than 10%, and Si Ming was too lazy to chase them. He casually tossed out a ball of light, leaving survival to individual fate.

"Let's go, let's hurry and meet up with Yuezheng Yao and the others." Si Ming picked up Liu Qingqing and was about to leave.

"Wait, wait a minute! Take me with you, I have no strength left."

The one who cried out for help was Chen Shimi. He was no longer the valiant man he had been when facing the white-haired man. He was now lying weakly on the ground, like a hungry lapdog, and had even forgotten his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) quirks.

"You only lasted a few minutes, you're such a man."

Seeing his appearance, Si Ming felt quite helpless. He couldn't even last as long as Ultraman. He had no choice but to hand Liu Qingqing over to Si Huaruo again and lift Chen Shimi Shi Mi up with one hand—he couldn't let Si Huaruo carry him.

"This isn't the first time; I never expected it to put such a huge strain on my body."

How about learning about body-refining martial arts?

"No, body-refining martial arts are too slow to take effect. I can feel that Devil Qi changing my physique. As long as I use it a few more times, I should be able to adapt."

"Be careful not to have your body transformed into that of Devil Race, growing dragon horns or wings."

"Dragon horns and wings... that would be great!"

Chen Shimi's eyes lit up, probably because he thought the look was very cool. He couldn't help but touch his head, his face full of anticipation. "If it really turns into this form, I'll name it Dragon-Human Form... No, it's definitely more imposing to call it Dragon Devil Form, or Demon Dragon Form would be good too. Which name do you think is better?"

"Whatever, whatever makes you happy."
