Chapter 61: Murder, So This Is What It Feels Like.
Ning Rongrong could only continuously maintain her auxiliary soul skill, sending soul power over her in a steady stream.
Brother Ye's soul power has been greatly depleted!
She could sense that the amplification of her third soul skill played a crucial role in Ye Xuanming's life.
The battle continues.
Ye Xuanming's breathing began to become heavy.
This 27,000-year-old soul beast was even more troublesome than he had imagined.
Its roots and tendrils seem endless, and its power is growing ever stronger.
To make matters worse, the ground beneath his feet began to turn muddy, like a swamp, restricting his movement.
We can't delay any longer!
A resolute glint flashed in Ye Xuanming's eyes.
He suddenly threw out his two pistols, one blue and one purple, and accurately pinned down the two tendrils that were lashing out at him.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest.
Blue-gold and purple-gold light converged in his palm.
Life and annihilation, two diametrically opposed forces, began to entangle and merge wildly.
A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill, began to brew in his palm.
"Fused Soul Skill, Reincarnation Overlord Spear!"
Ye Xuanming roared, and a strange spear, half blue-gold and half purple-gold, appeared in his hand.
On the gun barrel, the aura of life and death constantly swirled, as if holding a complete world in one's grasp.
He gripped his spear tightly, pushed off the ground with both legs, and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky, passing through all the roots and tendrils, and appearing directly above the main plant of the Earth Vein Net Flower.
He held the gun with both hands, his body twisting into an incredible arc in the air, pouring all his strength into the tip of the gun.
"die!"
The spear fell like a meteorite, piercing straight into the core of the Earth Vein Net Flower.
"squeak!"
The Earth Vein Net Flower emitted its most piercing scream in history.
All its roots and offshoots frantically tried to defend themselves, attempting to block the fatal blow.
But it's too late.
The Reincarnation Overlord Spear contains the power of the laws of creation and destruction.
All the vines and roots that stood in its way turned to dust the moment they came into contact with it.
Boom!
The spear pierced precisely into the center of the flower's stamen.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
The massive main plant of the Earth Vein Net Flower began to wither and disintegrate rapidly, centered on the spear tip.
Its immense vitality was frantically devoured by the Reincarnation Overlord Spear.
In just a few seconds, this powerful 27,000-year-old soul beast turned into ashes.
A ring of pitch-black spirit energy rose silently from the ashes.
Ye Xuanming fell from mid-air, kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.
This attack almost drained all of his soul power.
The martial spirit and spirit ring also disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Ning Rongrong immediately ran over.
"Brother Ye! How are you?"
She supported Ye Xuanming, her small face full of worry.
Ye Xuanming waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
He looked up at the black spirit ring and a smile appeared on his face.
It's done.
Just as he was about to get up and begin absorbing the soul ring.
Suddenly, a burst of green light emanated from the stamen of the Earth Vein Net Flower; it was actually a soul bone!
"Brother Ye, look! It's a soul bone!" Ning Rongrong's exclamation of surprise hadn't even faded yet.
Five figures emerged from the shadows of the dense forest.
They wore heavily worn leather armor, carried weapons of varying styles, and each of them had a fierce look on their faces, as if they had been licking blood from the edge of a knife for many years.
The leader was a one-eyed strongman whose soul power fluctuations were the strongest; he was already a Soul Master of over forty levels.
The one-eyed burly man's gaze was fixed on the earth vein soul bone that emitted a shimmering green light, his greed undisguised.
Then, his gaze fell on Ning Rongrong, who was supporting Ye Xuanming.
The girl was dressed in a white outfit that accentuated her budding curves. Her face was flushed with nervousness, which added to her beauty.
The one-eyed burly man licked his chapped lips, while the other four men let out malicious snickers.
"Kid, you've used up all your strength, haven't you?"
A one-eyed, burly man swaggered over, carrying a broadsword.
"Leave that soul bone, and the little beauty beside you, both."
"You can get out."
His words were crude and direct.
Ning Rongrong's face turned red with anger. She took a step forward and shielded Ye Xuanming behind her.
"I am a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! How dare you touch me?"
The one-eyed burly man paused for a moment, then burst into even louder laughter with his companions behind him.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Hahaha!"
"Little sister, your lie is so poorly told."
"I could say I'm from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family!"
A skinny, monkey-like mercenary chuckled grotesquely.
"The young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would run off to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest with a mere boy? You're kidding me!"
They simply don't believe it.
When members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School travel, they are always surrounded by a large entourage of guards.
The two young men and women in front of me look very young. Even if they are very talented, there is no way any sect elder would allow them to come here alone.
Ning Rongrong was so angry that she couldn't speak.
She hadn't expected that her identity would be completely useless here.
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to summon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, Ye Xuanming gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to step back.
He stood up straight, his face pale and his soul power low, but his posture remained upright.
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Xuanming, who was protecting her, and was deeply moved.
At this moment, Ye Xuanming looked at the five mercenaries in front of him with an expression as if he were looking at five corpses.
Upon seeing this, the greed on the one-eyed strongman's face began to be replaced by vigilance.
But after glancing at the priceless soul bone and then at Ye Xuanming, who was indeed exhausted, greed once again overwhelmed his reason.
That's a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!
"Stop with the nonsense!"
"You must be exhausted!"
"It's just an empty shell now!"
"Brothers, charge! Kill the men, leave the women alive!"
The one-eyed burly man roared, and his four companions immediately surrounded him from different directions.
Ning Rongrong nervously summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda again, preparing for a desperate fight.
Ye Xuanming, however, held her hand down.
"Rongrong, watch carefully."
"Some people don't deserve to be forgiven."
The moment the words fell.
An invisible wave suddenly spread out from Ye Xuanming.
The blue silver grass in the entire basin began to grow wildly.
As if injected with life hormones, the grass blades, which were originally only an inch tall, grew to more than half a person's height in just a few breaths, turning the entire basin into a blue sea of grass.
"Blue Silver Territory".
Ye Xuanming uttered four words softly.
The five mercenaries froze in their tracks.
To their horror, they discovered that their feet were tightly bound by countless tough blue silver grasses, rendering them unable to move.
"What...what the hell is this thing?!"
The one-eyed burly man's expression changed drastically. He frantically channeled his soul power, trying to break free from the restraints, only to find that the blue silver grass was tightening its grip.
The next moment, something even more terrifying happened.
Dozens of vines, their entire bodies entwined with purple-gold patterns, emerged silently from the sea of grass, like venomous snakes crawling out of hell.
They made no sound as they pierced the air, but precisely and swiftly wrapped themselves around the five mercenaries, gagging them.
"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"
The mercenaries struggled violently, their eyes filled with extreme fear.
They could feel their life force being frantically drained by these strange vines.
The skin quickly dries out, the muscles begin to atrophy, and the hair becomes dry, yellow, and falls out.
It only lasted for a few seconds.
Five living people were turned into five desiccated corpses.
After absorbing their last bit of life force, the dark blue-silver grass vines, a deep purple-gold color, quietly retreated back into the sea of grass.
Ye Xuanming felt streams of pure life energy flowing back into his body along the vines, rapidly replenishing his nearly depleted soul power.
Although he has only recovered less than 30%, it is enough for him to move around freely.
With a gust of wind, the five mummified corpses turned to ashes and dissipated into the air.
It was as if they had never appeared.
Ning Rongrong stood there, her small hand covering her mouth, her body trembling slightly.
She wasn't afraid, but rather utterly shocked by the bizarre and domineering scene before her.
Is this Brother Ye's true power?
Without needing any soul skills, the martial soul itself could so easily annihilate five soul masters.
Ye Xuanming turned around.
He looked at his hands, his heart pounding.
This was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands in the twelve years he had been in this world.
It wasn't as disgusting or uncomfortable as I had imagined.
There was only a strange calmness, and a touch of cold exhilaration.
So this is what it feels like to have someone else's life or death in your hands.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Ye Xuanming's face.
