And to say nothing of the fact that Jin Nu had now activated the second level of the Soul-Naking Technique—that would only drive her further into demonic corruption! Sure enough, I had been right. Although Jin Nu's Soul-Naking Technique isolated complex energies behind a thin membrane around her body while absorbing energy, its absorbing force had always existed, and it originated from her body rather than appearing out of thin air!
The fatal flaw of this absorbing force was that once I pierced the membrane protecting her from the isolated energy, the demonic energy would take advantage of the powerful suction of her Soul-Naking Technique and enter her body!
Under such a life-or-death situation, completely protecting ourselves was impossible. After successive sword techniques and Sword Qi attacks, both Jin Nu and I were wounded. Because of the Soul-Naking Technique, she had absorbed and stored a considerable amount of energy, preparing to unleash it all at once.?
But because the membrane had also been torn, she had absorbed quite a lot of my contaminated demonic energy. Her eyes had consequently turned blood-red, and she was already on the brink of demonic corruption!
She would be difficult to deal with after becoming corrupted, and her power would grow even stronger. Yet that very fact would give me more opportunities. After all, there had to be a way to handle an opponent with no mind who only knew how to kill. At the very least, controlling her with innate demonic energy would not be a problem.
The person who had tampered with Jin Nu's lineage had wanted her to produce baleful energy without limit, turning it into a source of power. That was why Jin Nu relied so heavily on baleful energy. Yet baleful energy was also the most harmful thing to her.
