The soul-splitting paper knife could not make quick cuts.
The faster it swung, the greater the resistance the Soul-Splitting Paper Knife met when cutting a soul body.
If it approached slowly and pressed down bit by bit, like slicing a cake, there was almost no resistance.
This was also why the Soul-Splitting Technique could not be used in combat.

Once it had gone three centimeters in, Chen Miao turned his wrist, smoothly guiding the Soul-Splitting Paper Knife through a hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.
When the paper knife left the female ghost's Ghost Body, it brought away a small piece of her soul body, only half the size of a fist.
The severed piece of soul body drifted upward, bobbing like a balloon whose string had come loose.

Once a soul body was held together by an obsession, it formed a single whole and would not dissipate.
But the Soul-Splitting Technique effectively severed the obsession binding the soul body together.
Without that obsession, the soul body naturally could no longer hold together and could
