Chapter 226

Why had he never heard of this force before?

Even if they are reclusive forces, as long as they are on this continent, with Soul Splash's abilities, they shouldn't be completely without any news.

The Hunyan Protector remained skeptical.

But Yun Li's next words caused his expression to change instantly.

"And now, you... are next!"

Yun Li pointed at the Hunyan Protector in front of her and told him about his impending fate.

"You forced me to do this."

The Hunyan Protector didn't know if Yun Li was telling the truth or not, but he didn't dare to gamble.

He knew all too well how terrible the Soul Splash torture was, and he often found pleasure in it himself, but he absolutely did not want to become the one being tortured.

Without hesitation, he took out a Soul Lantern, a magical artifact used to store his souls. Now, he had to use the souls he had stored up over this period to gain a chance at survival.

After he activated the Soul Lantern, a large number of souls appeared around him, and he began to devour them, rapidly increasing his strength.

"They've actually stored so many souls..."

Moreover, even the weakest souls were at the Dou King-level, which made Yun Li's eyes light up.

However, seeing his method of devouring souls was a bit disgusting, so he didn't want to waste any more time and simply drew his bow in the air with both hands.

Then, the power of her the Hunt Path transformed into a Divine Bow in her hand, locking onto the Hunyan Protector before her.

"I'll fight you to the death! Even if I die, you won't get away with it..."

Locked onto by the laws of the Hunt, even though the Hunyan Protector's strength had increased significantly due to absorbing souls, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt that even if he became a Dou Zun, let alone increased his star level, he might not be able to withstand the girl's attack. So, in an instant, he went berserk.

Instead of increasing his strength, he prepared to detonate all the souls, and at the same time, he himself was prepared to self-destruct. The self-destruction of a Dou Zong powerhouse would be unbearable even for a Dou Zun, let alone with so many powerful souls involved.

Even after self-destruction, he might not necessarily die. He still has a fragment of his soul, so there might be hope of escaping death.

However, just as he was about to detonate his soul and self-destruct, Yun Li intervened!

"Predetermined Death!"

The rules of the Hunt Path were fully revealed in this world, and the phantom of the Great Bow Sovereign flashed past Yun Li.

The next moment, Yun Li released the invisible arrow.

Then there was silence, as if nothing had happened.

However, the actions of the Hunyan Protector and those souls self-destructing strangely stopped, and the laws of the world were changed in an instant.

Yun Li walked over with her fair feet, and then looked at the unharmed but lifeless corpse of the Hunyan Protector Guardian.

He reached out and grabbed his soul.

Predetermined Death.

Yun Li directly altered the laws of reality, rewriting the reality that the person before her was alive. In the eyes of the world, he was actually dead from the very beginning.

If it weren't for the fact that Yun Li still needed his soul, she could easily erase all traces of his existence, including his past, present, and future.

"Who exactly are you...?"

The Hunyan Protector's soul lost all ability to resist, and looking at the little girl in front of him, the shock and fear in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Zhuming Xianzhou 'Flame Wheel Eight Leaves' Yun Li..."

Without waiting for him to ask any further questions, she directly used the jade bottle to collect his soul.

Of course, Yun Li did not forget the other souls he had stored, but these souls had become somewhat distorted.

In this world, when a fighter's soul power reaches a certain level, even if their body is destroyed, their soul can still survive.

They may be barely clinging to life, or they may be desperately searching for a chance to be resurrected.

The people of the Soul Hall refer to such souls as: Living Soul.

Then the Soul Splashers are like soul cleaners on the continent; any powerful soul that has left the body can be sensed, noticed, and captured by them.

They take charge of everything that is Soul body, and rarely let anything slip by.

They possess special methods to counter souls, so any Soul body encounters them, no matter how powerful it was in life, will find it difficult to escape.

In addition, since Soul body cannot use battle qi, and soul power is like a rootless duckweed, once it is severely damaged, it is difficult to recover.

Unless it's Soul body possesses a strange flame and has refined it into its natal flame, it would be better.

When Yao Lao lost his body, he was able to escape and avoid disaster only because his soul was protected by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which had transformed into his natal flame.

Otherwise, they would probably end up like the other captured Soul body, powerless to fight back.

After collecting the souls, Yun Li did not forget to search the corpses.

He removed a storage ring from his finger; it was a high-grade storage ring, already priceless in itself.

And who knows how rich the contents are.

The wealth of a Dou Zong expert is definitely not small...

Using her the Hunt Path, Yun Li directly erased the mark on the storage ring. She then checked the contents inside. As she expected, the space inside was not only surprisingly large, but also incredibly rich in items.

Gold coins, elixirs, combat skills, rare materials, souls, Secret Scroll, maps, magical weapons...

The storage ring of a Dou Zong powerhouse instantly increased Yun Li's net worth by a huge margin.

However, many of these things are related to the Soul body of the Soul Clan.

Yun Li did not rush to take inventory, but instead took the rescued souls and returned to the Starskiff.

As for offending Hun Jian?

Yun Li wasn't worried at all...

~~~~~

Twenty four

Chapter 24 transforms the Soul body into Sword Spirit.

"Yun Li".

Seeing that Yun Li had returned to the Starskiff, Little Fairy Doctor quickly stood up.

She had considered going down to take a look, but worried that she would become a burden, so she had to stay up there and wait.

"I'm fine, I just went down and dealt with a Jie Jie Monster..."

Yun Li waved her hand, telling Little Fairy Doctor not to worry.

At the same time, she was in a great mood. She was able to make such a gain before even entering the Black Twisting Domain, and she was even more looking forward to the upcoming auction.

I don't know if I'll ever meet anything that catches my eye.

"Jie Jie Monster?"

What is that?

Little Fairy Doctor looked completely bewildered; this was the first time she had ever heard of anything Jie Jie Monster in her entire life.

"They're just a bunch of guys who like to make cackling noises."

Noticing the blank look on Little Fairy Doctor's face, Yun Li casually offered an explanation, though this explanation only made Little Fairy Doctor more confused.

"What have you thought about what I mentioned before?"

Ignoring Little Fairy Doctor's reaction, Yun Li turned to look at the Soul body beside her, who still seemed to be recovering from what had happened.

That mysterious Dou Zong powerhouse died inexplicably at the hands of this little girl in front of him.

What's wrong with this world?

How long have I been dead? Is the Dou Zong rank already so worthless?

"This is..."

Little Fairy Doctor also noticed the Soul body that Yun Li brought back. It looked like the Soul body was about to dissipate, which was a bit pitiful.

"A Soul body at the Dou Zong level, but it's almost at its limit. Without replenishment of soul power, it probably won't last much longer."

It's a bit of a pity that he just vanished like that, considering he was a Dou Zong after all.

"Soul body? A Dou Zong level expert?!"

Little Fairy Doctor was shocked to hear this; this was actually a legendary Dou Zong powerhouse.

"Just a Dou Zong, you can reach that level very quickly with your physique."

Before reaching the Dou Zong level, the poison needed for the E'nan Toxin Body) is relatively easy to find, so Little Fairy Doctor will definitely reach this level soon and doesn't need to worry about the soul at all.

However, she hasn't changed her mindset yet; she still views things from the original perspective and believes that a top-tier existence like a Dou Zong is someone she can't normally approach.

"...Um."

Little Fairy Doctor realized what was happening, her surprised expression subsided somewhat, and then she remembered that it didn't seem difficult for her to become a Dou Zong.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question."

Turning her head and seeing that the Soul body did not react, Yun Li put her hands on her hips and spoke again.

Upon hearing Yun Li's voice, the Soul body trembled, realizing what was happening. It couldn't help but give a bitter smile and hesitantly replied, "Can I refuse?"

It seems I didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Why bother asking about his own thoughts and choices...?

Unexpectedly, Yun Li nodded directly.

"Sure."

She's not one of those guys from Soul Splash; why would she force someone to do anything?

"Really... really?"

This answer caught the Soul body completely off guard, leaving it very surprised, and it couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Of course it's true. I, Yun Li, never force anyone to do anything. Since you're unwilling... then leave."

"... Thank you, thank you so much!"

Having received permission and confirming that Yun Li was not deceiving him, the Soul body was overjoyed, gratefully thanked Yun Li, and then turned and left.

He even deliberately glanced at Yun Li a few times, and only after discovering that she really didn't chase after him and truly let him leave did he immediately move away from this place.

"What exactly is going on?"

Little Fairy Doctor watched this scene with great curiosity.

"It was nothing, just asking him if he wanted to become Sword Spirit, and he didn't seem willing."

Yun Li briefly recounted what had happened to Little Fairy Doctor, including rescuing him, asking for his thoughts, and then letting him go.

"Sword Spirit..."

What kind of ability is this, to be able to integrate Soul body into a sword? In that case, wouldn't the weapon be able to fight automatically? It wouldn't even need its master to control it.

Yun Li's words gave Little Fairy Doctor a completely new understanding of the divine sword she had forged.

"But are we just going to let him go like that?"

After learning the whole story, Little Fairy Doctor felt a little sorry for Yun Li, who was, after all, a Dou Zong level expert.

Aside from the Central Continent, there are very few Dou Zong in other places, and even in the Central Continent, a Dou Zong is considered very strong.

"It's okay, he'll come back."

Yun Li, however, did not care and spoke with great certainty.

"Why?"

"..."

Yun Li did not answer, nor did she control the Starskiff to leave; she simply looked ahead.

Sure enough, not long after, the Soul body that had left in such a hurry returned here.
