Dazed by the Beating, Possession
Bai Qianqian originally intended to go to the city ahead to Dissemination System, but she had just received news that Liu Yi had already killed the God of Light.
The two exchanged a few words.
Unexpectedly, a Devil Cultivator suddenly appeared in the sky above the city, using his Devil Cultivation Method to harm the city's inhabitants.
She immediately stopped chatting with Liu Yi, her figure blurred, and she rushed towards the Devil Cultivator like a streak of light, shouting sharply:
"Stop, you devil! How dare you harm the people! You're courting death!"
Jiang Cheng had just absorbed some Blood Qi and soul energy when he suddenly heard the angry shout. His heart skipped a beat, and when he turned around and saw Bai Qianqian charging towards him, his expression changed drastically, and he cursed inwardly:
"Damn it! How could we encounter Void Return Realm (Dao Soul Realm) expert in a mere mortal city!"
In a flash, his eyes lit up, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face:
"If I could swallow her, my injuries would heal immediately."
Perhaps my cultivation could advance even further, which would be a hundred times better than devouring these A Mortal ants!
Although I am injured at the moment, with my combat strength, I may still have a chance to kill her!
Having made up his mind, he immediately withdrew the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method, dispelled the overwhelming devouring power, and charged fiercely at Bai Qianqian with his sword.
The surviving inhabitants of the city were all pale-faced, their eyes filled with fear. When they came to their senses, their shrill cries rose and fell.
"Mother! Don't die!"
"My son! How could you be gone like this! It's a tragedy for a parent to bury their child!"
"Who exactly is that demon? Why did he treat us so cruelly!"
"Thankfully, a celestial master intervened and stopped him, otherwise we would all be dead!"
"Immortal Master, you must slay that demon! Otherwise, we'll be in danger!"
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had stopped devouring, Bai Qianqian instead pounced on him with murderous intent.
He immediately steadied himself, scanned his surroundings, and then flew towards an open, deserted area to avoid the aftershocks of the battle harming innocent civilians.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng assumed that she was fleeing because she knew she was no match for him. His face lit up with even more joy, and he increased his speed to give chase, his mind filled with the thought of killing her and devouring her.
Seeing Bai Qianqian suddenly stop, his eyes blazed with greed, and he roared:
"I need your help in my cultivation; prepare to die!"
After saying that, he unleashed a powerful aura, swung his sword down fiercely, and a sword aura that reached the heavens and the earth, carrying the power to cleave the sky and split the earth, slashed towards Bai Qianqian.
"You fiend, today I will act on behalf of Heaven and slay you!"
Seeing the powerful attack, Bai Qianqian was surprised. She hadn't expected that her opponent, who was only at the Early Stage of the Void Return Realm, would have such combat strength.
Immediately, she became murderous, flipped her hand to summon her spirit sword, and slashed out with a killing sword light that cut through the air to meet the attack.
"Boom!"
The blade energy and the sword light collided with a deafening roar, shattering and annihilating each other.
Jiang Cheng was shocked upon seeing this, knowing that the previous strike was from a demonic blade containing the tip of Elder Luo's soul.
Its power was comparable to that of the Late Stage of the Void Return Realm, yet it was effortlessly blocked by the opponent.
He instantly realized that the other party was no easy opponent, but his confidence immediately surged again.
With this demonic blade in hand, he believed himself to be invincible among those of the same realm.
He moved swiftly, rushing forward and pouncing straight at Bai Qianqian, determined to fight her in close combat.
He developed a powerful physical body through cultivating the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method.
At the same time, it was assumed that the opponent's physical body was as fragile as that of an ordinary cultivator.
Once you get into close combat, your opponent will definitely be restricted in their movements.
Then you can easily kill it, and devour its spiritual power, Qi and Blood, and Primordial Spirit to heal your wounds and improve your cultivation.
Seeing him about to get close, Bai Qianqian smiled faintly, leaped forward to meet him, and swung her sword straight at him.
"Clang!"
The swords clashed violently, the sound of metal striking metal was extremely piercing.
The two immediately engaged in combat, the sounds of swords clashing echoing continuously.
"Hiss!"
Jiang Cheng's arm was suddenly slashed open by the sword, and blood gushed out.
He was then struck by another sword, but fortunately his protective armor blocked most of the force, preventing him from being seriously injured. However, this only compounded his injuries.
He was then shocked to realize that his opponent was even stronger in close combat than him, and his combat experience far surpassed his own.
He tried to create distance in a panic, but he couldn't break free at all. Instead, he was forced to retreat step by step by Bai Qianqian, and three more sword wounds appeared on his body, his robes stained with blood.
He was both shocked and furious, and roared in disbelief:
"How can you be so strong in close combat? Your physical body is even stronger than mine, this is simply unreasonable!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqian revealed a disdainful sneer.
She's a martial arts practitioner, and close combat is her specialty. For a cultivator to dare to engage her in close combat is simply courting death!
However, this demon's physical body was indeed powerful, and the blade in his hand was even more formidable.
Otherwise, given her strength, she would have already killed him.
Bai Qianqian's eyes flashed with cold light, and her sword aura suddenly increased by three points. Her spirit sword flew, and every move was ruthless and aimed directly at vital points.
"Ah! Ah!"
Two piercing screams rang out in succession as Jiang Cheng was struck by two swords.
One sword severed his left arm, another cleaved his chest, shattering his protective armor and leaving deep wounds that exposed bone, from which blood gushed forth.
He endured the excruciating pain to steady himself and hurriedly circulated the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method to suppress his injuries.
Forcibly expelling the Sword Qi that had invaded his body from the wound, while simultaneously his Divine Sense urgently cried for help:
"Elder Luo, save me! Please save me! If I die, no one will help you repair your soul!"
Elder Luo's voice carried a sense of helplessness, yet also a hint of seduction:
"I am now just a remnant of my soul, and I can't help you much."
You're now completely entangled with her, you don't even have time to use any escape techniques.
There is only one way right now.
That means handing over control of the body to me, so that I can control and kill this person.
Otherwise, there's nothing I can do; you can only wait to die.
I can only seek another destined person to help me restore my soul.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's expression changed drastically, filled with hesitation.
Relinquishing control of one's physical body to another is an extremely dangerous thing.
If the other party harbors malicious intentions, you will be doomed.
But if they refused, they would die by the other's sword in the next moment.
Now that things had come to this, he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and take a gamble. His Divine Sense, filled with utter helplessness, spoke:
"Elder Luo, I'm giving you control of my physical body, please save my life!"
"Alright, I guarantee your physical health will be unharmed!"
When my divine soul power enters your body and takes over your physical form, your Primordial Spirit must immediately retreat to your sea of consciousness. Remember, you must not fight against it, otherwise, with two souls in one body, you will inevitably lose control over your physical form!
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Luo's spiritual power surged into Jiang Cheng's body like a tidal wave, seizing control of his physical form.
Seeing Bai Qianqian's sword light already upon him, he immediately raised his demonic blade, unleashing a torrent of killing intent, and fiercely slashed at the incoming killing sword light.
"Boom!"
The sword light shattered instantly. Using the force of the recoil, Elder Luo retreated rapidly, unleashing a surge of demonic energy around him, his aura rapidly increasing.
Jiang Cheng roared in shock and rage from his mind, "Elder Luo, you lied to me! I trusted you so much, and you actually want to take over my body!"
Elder Luo sneered, his voice full of mockery. "You cunning brat, when have you ever truly trusted me?"
You just want to use me to help you improve your cultivation!
If you weren't driven to desperation today, why would you willingly relinquish control of your body, giving me the opportunity to possess you?
Jiang Cheng suddenly let out a cold laugh, his Primordial Spirit struggling against the demonic seal while trying to reconnect with the backup plan left in his physical body, attempting to regain control:
"You really think you've got me cornered? This is my physical body; you can't just control it like that!"
