The Demon King's Bearing (4)
Qin Chu inwardly cried out in alarm.
Sure enough, the next second, the gloomy Miss Sylph suddenly opened her small mouth and let out a piercing scream.
This time, Qin Chu finally heard clearly what Sylph said:
Ah~~~~
The sharp sound spread like a shockwave, instantly creating a turbulent storm in this Soul World.
Having had a second chance, Qin Chu's soul strength was incredibly powerful. However, it was crucial to understand that this was Sylph's home turf. The sharp hissing even caused the entire consciousness space to tremble, almost collapsing.
A raging black whirlwind swept around, and the blood pool seemed to transform into a tsunami.
Qin Chu's consciousness trembled. In his pure soul state, Qin Chu still possessed all the power he controlled, but the troublesome thing was that his own defense would become zero due to the disappearance of his physical body, and any impact would cause considerable damage to his consciousness.
However, Qin Chu did not want to leave just like that.
He didn't care whether Sylph lived or died, but Qin Chu feared that this corrosive influence might one day appear on himself, on Angelica, on Candice...
Qin Chu wanted to find a way to deal with this situation from this excellent test subject.
As the black whirlwind swept in from all sides, Qin Chu's consciousness suddenly soared into the sky.
The next instant, a soft white light suddenly emanated from his body.
It was as if a sun had risen in this gloomy Soul World.
Soft light, like sharp swords, shot from the sky and down to the ground, instantly drying up the black silt and turning it into a withered desert. The gloom in the sky was also torn open, creating a huge hole.
Holy Light shone upon Sylph, and Sylph screams turned into wails.
The Holy Light clashed violently with the crimson threads binding Sylph, like a red-hot iron striking solid ice, producing a continuous hissing and crackling sound that brought Sylph near-endless pain.
Her soul floated in mid-air, convulsing and spasming violently.
In an instant, her soul even became somewhat ethereal and flimsy. If this continued, it might not be long before Sylph's soul completely disappeared.
This was not the outcome Qin Chu wanted to see. After all, if a similar situation happened to Angelica, would he simply destroy Angelica soul?
With a slight frown, Qin Chu released the Holy Light emanating from his body.
Without the destruction and obstruction of the Holy Light, darkness and filth began to spread rapidly below, and black sludge filled the entire space.
With a whoosh, waves dozens of feet high surged on the surface of the blood pool, and viscous blood flowed down.
The blood transformed into twisted shadows that lunged at Qin Chu 'Qin Chu consciousness, howling and wildly waving their claws in an attempt to tear it to shreds.
Just as these shadows were about to engulf Qin Chu's consciousness, Holy Light emanated from Qin Chu once again, shattering the surging shadows. The light then immediately contracted, and his consciousness suddenly sank down, rushing straight towards Sylph's soul.
Just before Sylph opened her mouth to let out a second scream, someone grabbed a thread from Sylph's body and pulled hard. The next second, her consciousness suddenly retreated and was directly withdrawn from Sylph's soul space.
Buzz...
Qin Chu's body trembled violently, and his empty eyes returned to normal.
He pulled away and plopped down on the bed, his entire body almost completely soaked in sweat, large beads of sweat constantly rolling down Qin Chu's cheeks.
I glanced at the time; it had only been a few minutes.
But he felt more tired in those few minutes than in the previous hour.
His muscles were spasming uncontrollably, and his consciousness was piercingly painful, but this time the harvest was still good. Qin Chu opened his palm and there was a hazy, soft white light in his palm, which transformed into a round sphere, on which a thin, worm-like creature was wriggling.
Without Qin Chu's support, Sylph also collapsed to the ground.
Her condition was worse than Qin Chu's; she was foaming at the mouth as if she had been poisoned.
Much later, Sylph's consciousness gradually returned. She didn't even know what had happened in the Soul World; she only felt an unbearable, tearing pain that was almost driving her mad.
He lay on the ground, panting heavily for a long time, before slowly getting up, straightening his disheveled clothes, and then quickly looking at his chest.
Immediately afterwards, a look of wild joy appeared on her face... The mark on her chest had almost completely disappeared, leaving only a very faint layer, which was practically invisible.
Although we don't know if it will suddenly worsen again in the future, at least for now this is very good news.
Then Sylph looked up at Qin Chu. When she saw Qin Chu's pale face and sweat-drenched appearance, Sylph was stunned. It seemed that Qin Chu was also exhausted from treating her.
She struggled to her feet, still feeling unwell, and her legs trembled as she walked.
If you accidentally irritate the wound, it will immediately sting with pain.
"Qin Chu, are you alright?" Sylph asked cautiously.
Qin Chu forced a smile and said, "I won't die."
"How am I... how am I?" Sylph asked again, her voice still tinged with fear.
Qin Chu took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and presented the object enveloped in Holy Light to Sylph. The scarlet thread was like a horsehair worm wriggling desperately. It seemed to have its own consciousness, and its end was spinning frantically, as if trying to break through the blockade of Holy Light.
But each time it touched the barrier formed by the Holy Light, the scarlet horsehair worm felt a burning pain and instinctively curled up into a ball.
A few seconds later, the attack on the Holy Light Barrier began again, repeating endlessly.
This bizarre existence sent chills down Sylph's spine. "What... what is this thing?"
"Torn off your soul..."
Qin Chu's words turned Sylph's face pale.
"This is the root of your corruption; there are a total of twenty-six of these things on your soul..."
Hiss...
Sylph's body trembled involuntarily, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
The thought that her soul was covered with twenty-six of these bizarre things made Sylph's scalp tingle.
Fear... compared to fear, there's even more disgust.
"I'm sorry, I tried my best, but I only managed to pull one off." Qin Chu said apologetically, "I originally wanted to destroy all of these things, but your soul would likely turn to ashes along with them; they've almost become one with your soul."
Looking at the exhausted Hero in front of her, who was still apologizing, Sylph suddenly felt that this man wasn't so bad after all.
But does that mean this needs to happen twenty-five times?
"Shall we start the next one right away?"
Qin Chu's eyes widened, and the next second he frantically shook his head. "No, no, no..."
"Sylph, are you crazy?"
Even if you can handle it, I won't be able to!
The plow won't break, but the ox will be exhausted.
Actually, he just needed some time to study what he had in his hand.
Cleansing these things from the soul seems like a good way to purify the impurities and restore the corrupted person to normal, but this method seems a bit too complicated.
Moreover, the process is fraught with danger.
Compared to Sylph, Qin Chu cared even more about Ekaterina... after all, Ekaterina was now a very useful spy that Qin Chu had planted in the Hero's Party.
Whether it's Rosweisse or Athena, they might suspect each other, but they both feel that Ekaterina is on their side. Such a spy still has great value, and Qin Chu doesn't want to give her up for the time being.
Sylph pouted in frustration. Sylph felt extremely annoyed that she couldn't immediately exorcise all the disgusting things from her soul.
If she could, she would rather spend three days and three nights resolving all the troubles at once.
Time passed day by day.
Candice had already closed the hotel and left the Imperial City.
At this moment, she was in the territory of the Magic Creature, waiting for Ramon to receive her.
The task Lord Horus gave her was very important; she had to speak with Ramon face-to-face to ascertain Ramon true thoughts.
"Look, that lowly bastard is back again."
"The land of demons will be defiled because of this filthy bastard."
Doesn't she know that she's not welcome here at all?
"If I were her, I would have committed suicide out of shame long ago. Her very existence is filthy and disgusting..."

Chapter 194 The Demeanor of Demon King (4)
This is Ramon's territory, and countless strange creatures are pointing and whispering at him from all sides.
The cacophony of sounds reaching her ears confirmed to Candice that she had indeed arrived in the territory of the Magic Creature.
She was already used to these sounds. If she returned here one day and didn't hear them, Candice would even wonder if something was wrong.
Thinking back to her past self, she had given up all her self-respect in order to gain acceptance from the Magic Creature. Even when faced with ridicule and bullying from other Magic Creature, she would only cautiously put on a smiling face.
But her flattery didn't earn her acceptance; instead, she faced even more bullying.
How foolish.
Candice laughed, a self-deprecating smile on her face.
Previously, hearing those mocking voices would have even made her feel a little uncomfortable. But now she felt nothing, because she had found something more important than getting the Magic Creature to accept her.
There is already one person in this world who has truly accepted me... I don't need many more, one is enough.
She had been waiting outside for hours, but Ramon, seemingly to demonstrate his authority and deliberately give her a hard time, had not summoned Candice yet.
That foolish prince really likes to use this kind of way to show off his presence; it's a meaningless act.
Before arriving, Candice had meticulously calculated all possible scenarios. She looked around with no surprise and even a sense of ease. Compared to the human world, the Magic Creature world was far too dilapidated and backward. Many Magic Creature were intelligent, but they didn't care about things like clothing and shelter. The Magic Creature territory was filled with naked demons.
As for their dwellings, they were nothing more than caves, tree hollows, or underground burrows.
Behind them, in the jungle and the distant mountain range, lived tens or hundreds of thousands of Magic Creature. Apart from the high-level Magic Creature, the vast majority didn't even have the concept of going to the toilet.
There were no toilets or similar buildings.
Everywhere is their toilet.
As a result, this jungle, which should have been filled with fresh and natural air, was permeated with a nauseating stench.
Some Magic Creature gathered together to fight, their wounds oozing dirty blood that clung to their fur; Magic Creature even mated directly in the sunlight...
Eating, fighting, and mating are the three most common things in Magic Creature's life.
Only in front of Candice was there something that could barely be called a house: the palace of the seventh prince, Ramon, built of stone.
Suddenly, Candice's expression hardened.
She could sense a malevolent aura approaching from behind.
What a fool! She could even see the other person's outstretched arms through the sunlight's reflection on the ground...
Suddenly, Candice pushed off with her feet, her body springing backward, her arms rotating in the process.
Snap!
Her elbow struck a hard body, sending the other person staggering backward.
The Magic Creature, resembling a curly-haired baboon, was enraged by Candice's attack. Being struck in the chest by a bastard was a disgrace... It howled hoarsely, just about to retaliate.
Laugh!
A sharp whistling sound, accompanied by a chilling aura.
A sharp ice spike was already pressed against the throat of the baboon-like Magic Creature.
If it advances just one more millimeter, the ice spike will mercilessly pierce its throat.
Even if Magic Creature has strong vitality, it will surely die if it suffers such damage.
For a moment, the curly-haired baboon stood frozen in place, too afraid to move. Only its face and its rear end were red, its already repulsive features twisted together, making it look as ugly as Magic Creature... Well, this guy was Magic Creature after all.
A deathly silence fell over the surroundings in an instant.
All the strangely shaped and colored eyes were fixed on Candice. No one expected that this mixed-race bastard would become so arrogant after not seeing her for so many days, and now she actually dared to fight back?
The Demon King is above.
This is absolutely terrifying.
If they dare to fight back now, it's unimaginable what they'll dare to do in the future.
