Chapter 1352: Again?!
Liang Fu was in despair. A despair so deep that no resistance could even be offered. He did not think about running away, and neither did he even bother to entertain any other notion. Not even an infinite amount of teleportation-type soul armaments would be able to help him escape the Soul Seeker’s Mirror and Hundred Leagues…
The Soul Seeker’s Mirror: the world’s strongest tracking Regalia.
The Azure Boat of a Hundred Leagues: the world’s fastest flying Regalia.
Within seconds, the Hundred Leagues came to a stop just a few hundred meters away from where he and Liang Yinshen were.
The light dissipated after a while, revealing a quaint boat the color of the emerald ocean. At roughly five or six meters long, this boat was made seemingly from sparkling crystals. It had neither sail nor oar and relied only on the wind to fly.
And on top of it stood two individuals: Bai Yunfei and Wu Hong.
The two alighted from the boat and floated gently to the ground. While Wu Hong stored away the small boat, a flicker of jealousy shot across Bai Yunfei.
The Regalia ‘Hundred Leagues’ was a small boat but a flying Regalia unique beyond measure…
How fast was it? As fast as its name implied—capable of traveling a hundred leagues in an instant!!
The Core Stone was capable of instantaneous transportation to some degree, but not as great as the Hundred Leagues. It required a tremendous amount of soulforce and still couldn’t be done in quick succession without risking the chance of being injured by spatial energy.
That was where the Hundred Leagues differed. It wasn’t teleportation like what the Core Stone offered, but ‘flight’! Like a flying sword, the Hundred League allowed one the power of flight at a fraction of the cost! And it could fly fast!
It was many times stronger than the Heaven’s Thunder, thus the jealousy from Bai Yunfei. The Hundred Leagues was something of great fame in the soul cultivator world. Even the Wanderer, Yun Liantian, modeled his ‘One Azure Leaf Boat’ after the Hundred Leagues!
Back in the Capital, Wu Hong had been adamant on going with Bai Yunfei to find Liang Yinshen. He was the only one capable of using the Hundred Leagues to the best of its abilities and had a very personal reason for wanting to go. He wanted to be the one to put down Liang Fu.
In the end, Bai Yunfei relented. Together, the two departed from the Capital to chase after Liang Yinshen and Liang Fu.
It was a collaborative effort between the Soul Seeker’s Mirror and the Hundred Leagues. With the +10 additional effect of the Soul Seeker’s Mirror, they were able to find the two and arrive at the location within minutes after disembarking on the Hundred Leagues.
……
Wu Hong had no sympathy for the despair-stricken Liang Fu nor the pale-faced Liang Yinshen. The Soul Slayer appeared next to him for him to take and prepare for combat.
Bai Yunfei wasn’t in the mood for conversation either. The Cataclysmic Seal, Fire-tipped Spear, and Soul Extinguishing Needle all appeared around him in a protective circle—though Liang Yinshen looked like a dying ember, the man was still dangerous. A cornered rat could strike with the ferocity of a lion, and if the rat were to try to self-destruct, then it’d become a troublesome matter.
If possible, he wanted to capture Liang Yinshen alive, meaning he’d have to use the Soul Sealing Mandate and have Xiao Qi kill him…
Should Liang Yinshen learn what Bai Yunfei was thinking about, would he puke blood? Captured solely for the purpose of becoming ‘experience’ for Xiao Qi?
Regardless, Liang Yinshen came to a decision at once. “Fu’er, leave this place…” He transmitted his voice into Liang Fu’s mind.
“Ah? Divine Ancestor, are you…”
An irresistible energy covered Liang Fu for a moment before pushing him far away from the place, interrupting the man before he could finish his sentence.
“Ahhh!!!”
Once Liang Fu was gone, Liang Yinshen let out a bestial roar before leaping to his feet. Exploding with the last of his energy, he charged straight for Bai Yunfei and Wu Hong like a fired arrow!!
“Watch out, Your Majesty!!”
Bai Yunfei moved forward to step in front of Wu Hong. The man nodded before flying in the direction toward Liang Fu. He knew he wasn’t a match for Wu Hong.
“Bzz…”
The Cataclysmic Seal was already flying toward Liang Yinshen and transforming in size to crush him under its weight.
Moving to the side, Liang Yinshen evaded the Cataclysmic Seal and shifted to its right side. But right as he cleared it, Liang Yinshen was met with an incoming Soul Extinguishing Needle!
He was prepared for this, however. Shifting once again, Liang Yinshen managed to dodge the Soul Extinguishing Needle and make it within twenty meters of Bai Yunfei!
Bai Yunfei knew Liang Yinshen was burning up his soul for a temporary amount of power and didn’t bother to bring out the Vampiric Demon Edge. He was still running on his second activation of Soul Ignition while in ‘Coil’ Form and Berserk Mode. The domain skills of his soul armaments were active as well, meaning he was extremely capable of fighting Liang Yinshen right now. Bai Yunfei was confident that he’d even be able to seal Liang Yinshen with the Soul Sealing Mandate before he could self-destruct.
So he sneered when Liang Yinshen began his approach. Waving his right hand, Bai Yunfei sent the Fire-tipped Spear forward while manipulating the Cataclysmic Seal and Soul Extinguishing Needle back for a second attempt.
But that was when something completely unexpected happened…
Rather than attempt to move out of the Fire-tipped Spear’s way, Liang Yinshen continued onward to allow the spear to pierce his throat!
“Pft…boom!!”
It was neither an illusion nor an avatar. Following the explosion, Liang Yinshen’s head and his upper torso exploded into flesh and gore!!
“Wha…” Bai Yunfei was stunned, confused by the sight.
How could he possibly not be? The enemy somehow didn’t dodge the spear and was killed that easily?!
“What? Wait! This is…”
A second later and Bai Yunfei realized something about Liang Yinshen’s corpse. Then his face blanched!
“Whoosh!!”
A semi-transparent ball of light arose from Liang Yinshen’s corpse and sped rapidly toward Bai Yunfei. It penetrated his elemental barrier and then sunk easily into Bai Yunfei’s body!
Fearful by the sight when he could finally think, Bai Yunfei began to show an awkward expression as if to ask a single question…
“Again?!”
……
This sensation was without a doubt Liang Yinshen attempting to ‘Possess’ him!
He felt the presence of something borrow deep into his body before throwing itself at his soul!
“We perish together!!” Liang Yinshen’s voice boomed into his mind.
What Liang Yinshen was doing was activating the ‘Possession’, but he wasn’t planning to take over his soul at all! He was attempting to do enough damage to the both of them!!
Liang Yinshen had already Possessed three souls before Bai Yunfei before having his soul sealed. His soul wasn’t capable of Possessing anymore, but he could certainly drag Bai Yunfei down with him. If he did enough damage to Bai Yunfei’s soul, then it’d be possible for Bai Yunfei to perish before he did!
It was a tremendous risk. If Bai Yunfei was able to withstand this and ‘counter’ devour his own, then he’d helping Bai Yunfei out by giving him his soul.
But Liang Yinshen didn’t believe Bai Yunfei was capable of doing that. Only someone else capable in the art of Possession would be able to do so.
Unfortunately for him, he made a tremendous miscalculation: what he thought was an impossible scenario was becoming a reality!
The art of Possession? Bai Yunfei wasn’t knowledgeable of it, but…the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord was an expert!
Bai Yunfei learned of the art after he properly absorbed the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s soul. He also gained a few of his memories and stole knowledge of the art!
And the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord knew of a better way to Possess people. What Liang Yinshen knew wasn’t as comprehensive as the former!
So what Liang Yinshen thought to be the best suicide tactic against Bai Yunfei became essentially the act of throwing a lamb to a tiger!
“No…Nooo! How are you capable of Possession! This cannot be!! Aghhh!!”
Shrieked Liang Yinshen the moment he felt resistance. He was without a doubt shocked and horrified at the turn of events!
