Akatsuki's Zero Burial

In the blink of an eye, Lin Chuan had finished reading this demon clan member's memories. The demon now stared blankly ahead, copious saliva continuously dribbling from the corners of his ugly mouth.

"What did he do?"

The other four demon clan members gaped at the scene before them as though they had witnessed the most horrifying sight in the world.

As they stared blankly at Lin Chuan, he gently lifted the hand resting on the demon's head. A transparent, distorted soul was pulled straight out, then immediately swallowed and vanished. Their companion's body stiffened before slowly toppling to the ground, never making another sound.

"Th-this..."

The four surviving demon clan members immediately revealed looks of extreme terror. The human's bizarre methods were completely beyond their comprehension.

If Lin Chuan had cut off their companion's head with a single sword strike, or instantly killed him with a spell, they would have been no more than furious and shocked. But the terror displayed by the human before them had left them utterly unable to describe it.

No one could remain calm when faced with a method that directly extracted souls.

"Who exactly are you?"

No matter how foolish the four demon clan members were, they knew this human was anything but ordinary. Judging by his cultivation, he was at the same level as them—only late Golden Core stage. Yet the strength he displayed had already surpassed the limits of what a Golden Core cultivator could achieve. Instantly defeating four people, extracting a soul and killing one in an instant—only Nascent Soul cultivators could likely accomplish such feats.

But even the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivator could not possibly extract a demon clan member's soul. It simply defied all common sense.

"Who I am... there is no need for you to know..."
