Chapter 87            Exterminate All Spirits

Rui Lengyu went back to the formation. She wielded her Soul Rending Staff to block all the awakened spirits. She just needed to hold on a little longer. A moment later, the eight doors circulated, and the path changed to a path of destruction. In a split second, the formation suppressed all the awakened spirits and caused them to vanish. Ye Shaoyang let out a sigh of relief. Just as he wanted to rest, a shadow escaped from his palm and fled.

“Don’t let her get away!” Ye Shaoyang shouted.

Rui Lengyu pulled out her Soul Eradicating Gun and fired a shot at Feng Xinyu’s back. The Soul Eradicating bullet held incredible power; it could kill an awakened spirit in a single shot. Surprisingly, Feng Xinyu merely wobbled a little in response. She continued to fly forth. However, the shot allowed Qin Feng to gain some time. He quickly sprung forth and blocked her path.

“Where is Xiao Yun?” asked Qin Feng, “I can feel that she is somewhere nearby.”

Feng Xinyu coldly smiled and said, “Let me go. I’ll give you Xiao Yun. Or else, I’ll break her soul into pieces, and she will die along with me.”

Her words stunned Qin Feng, and hesitation flashed across his face.

“Qin Feng, don’t fall into her trap!” Rui Lengyu tensed up; she lost her cool and shouted at Qin Feng. Everything would have been for nothing if Qin Feng sided with Feng Xinyu now.

Qin Feng closed his eyes.

Feng Xinyu laughed happily and flew past him. Suddenly, Qin Feng shot a specter’s power and blocked her way. Feng Xinyu’s smile froze. Then, she asked Qin Feng in a stern voice, “You want her to die?”

Qin Feng opened his eyes and replied in a flat but firm tone, “I believe that Xiao Yun will agree with my decision. It doesn’t matter if you break her soul into pieces. I can wait till her soul gathers once more. I can wait for her no matter how much time pa.s.ses.”

Feng Xinyu let out a wail, and her Yin Qi instantly overflowed from her body. She extended her arms and said, “Then, show me your thousand years of cultivation!” She waved her right hand, and a jet of black Qi that resembled a venomous snake attacked Qin Feng. Qin Feng flicked his sleeves. He did not retreat. Instead, he advanced to block her attack.

A specter with a thousand years of cultivation versus a supreme spirit from a spirit nest—a t.i.tanic clash. Rui Lengyu did not hesitate and joined the fight. A human being, a spirit, and a specter caught it a tense battle. Everyone else felt totally flabbergasted, as they watched this spectacular fight. Feng Xinyu was certainly a supreme spirit. She still stood at an advantage even though she fought two at the same time.

This scene surprised Ye Shaoyang. Such cultivation, if she manages to recover her corpse and combines it with her soul, she will easily become a spirit mother Rakshasa. Then, the three of us combined would be no match for her.

“Ye Shaoyang, are you here to watch us perform?!” Rui Lengyu scolded as she looked back at him.

“Alright, I am the main character.” Ye Shaoyang had already regained some of his energy. He quickly rushed toward Feng Xinyu’s corpse. Then, he sat with his legs crossed, grasped both of her hands, and cast the Maoshan Soul-Tracking spell again.

As they fought, Feng Xinyu suddenly shouted. Ye Shaoyang had drawn her back to her corpse. This time, she did not have the chance to possess Xie Yuqing again because Rui Lengyu and Qin Feng blocked her way. Her body slowly absorbed her three Hun and seven Po. Suddenly, the eyes of Feng Xinyu’s corpse opened, and she broke free from Ye Shaoyang. She stood up, as a suffocating aura started to permeate her surroundings.

Rui Lengyu shouted, “We need to act fast; she is going to become a soulbound undead!”

Ye Shaoyang had made ample preparations; he formed a hand seal with both hands and chanted aloud the Heaven Fire incantation once. Instantly, the Mugwort Leaves and the reed gra.s.s below Feng Xinyu burst into flames, and eight tongues of fire rushed out in a Bagua position. She immediately suffered great pain, but she sinisterly smiled; she extended her arms and unyieldingly combated the flames with her powerful hateful Qi. A Soul Binding Talisman Paper started to fall off from her body and a second one soon followed….

“You can’t stop me,” said Feng Xinyu. She focused her hateful Qi on the third talisman paper, as she attempted to break through it. In time, the third talisman paper fell off; then, the fourth one….

Qin Feng and Rui Lengyu stood to the side. They felt worried and helpless, but they did not dare to interfere. Ye Shaoyang had set up the formation, so only he could control it. Any attempt at help from an outsider would destroy the power of the formation.

Ye Shaoyang calmly looked at Feng Xinyu. Then, he slowly held up the Qixing Dragon Sword and closed his eyes, chanting aloud, “O' mighty Heaven and Earth, unleash the power within me. Let the power of the Dao ceaselessly flow from the inner heart. The clash of Yin and Yang shall wipe out all spirits, for Heaven's law reigns supreme. The mighty Yama shall cast his heavenly net....”

As Ye Shaoyang intoned the chant, Feng Xinyu had already broken through all the talisman papers. She put her hands together and gathered all her hateful Qi and stabbed it toward him.

“In accordance to the imperial decree of Sanqing, the Qixing Dragon Sword shall slaughter all evil and reduce them to ashes!” Ye Shaoyang’s eyes abruptly opened, and he slashed the powerful hateful Qi with the sword. It paused for one second. Then, the sword emitted a powerful aura and directly chopped through Feng Xinyu’s head….

This single slash almost used up Ye Shaoyang’s power. His legs gave in, and he collapsed on the ground. He looked up and saw her lying on the ground. Blood covered her body, and he had split her corpse into two. Her soul still stood near her corpse, but her figure had become vague, almost transparent. Her clothes suddenly became dirty and torn, revealing a long, wound on her abdomen.

Finally, Feng Xinyu’s true self had appeared—she had used up her cultivation. Ye Shaoyang let out a long sigh and intently looked at her, “It’s over now.”

Now, Feng Xinyu’s gaze lacked evilness and hostility. Instead, hopelessness filled her eyes.

After a long while, she muttered to herself, “Yes, it’s over now, but it’s not fair. This is not what I deserve.”

Ye Shaoyang replied, “Why can’t you accept it? You have killed all your enemies, trapped them in the Soul torturing formation, and made them suffer day and night for seventy years. You have successfully taken revenge. If that’s not fair, how about those innocent people you have killed?”

Feng Xinyu shook her head, “I took revenge long ago. I have killed so many people, so I am sure I will receive all sorts of excruciating tortures in the Netherworld Council. But one thing I can’t accept is that...Dao Feng lied to me.”

Her head hung low for a moment, and she muttered, “I chose to become evil to seek revenge, to kill everyone in the world. Until the day I met Dao Feng…. I was willing to give up my obsession, give up everything to become a normal, stray spirit and follow him. He said he would save me and bring me along. Sadly, he never came back!”

Her words stunned everyone; they looked at each other in dismay. There was really a story between Dao Feng and Feng Xinyu. Moreover, it was a...love story.

“I can't believe it. A Maoshan Daoist and a lady spirit?” Rui Lengyu said in astonishment.

A sorcerer should not fall for any spirits or demons. That was the rule in the sorcerer world, regardless of the sect you hailed from. In the sorcerer world, such an act was the most contemptible matter. Furthermore, Dao Feng was the inner disciple of Maoshan Sect, the role model of the Daoist a.s.sociation. As such, the cool and steady Rei Lengyu also felt surprised to hear that.

Ye Shaoyang forced a smile, “I believe it is true. Even though normal sorcerers won't do that, Dao Feng would definitely dare to. He is the most rebellious Daoist among us. However, the Maoshan Sect has expelled him. What he does has no correlation with us.”

After Ye Shaoyang spoke these words, he turned and looked at Feng Xinyu, “I am not trying to find an excuse for Dao Feng. However, I think he has no intentions of avoiding you. I believe he has gone to a place where he can't escape from once he enters.”

“What is that place?” Immediately, these words emotionally moved Feng Xinyu.

Ye Shaoyang said, “A place that no sorcerer dares to go.”

“Do you mean he has gone to...but how do you know?” Feng Xinyu felt stunned, as her mouth gradually gaped open.

“It is my conjecture, but I am quite sure about it.” Ye Shaoyang roughly knew the place’s location; Rui Lengyu and Qin Feng also knew. Because there was only one place that sorcerers dare not enter.
