“Hahahaha...” Immediately after, Wu Xingwen laughed loudly and said, “Who do you think you are? You have the Evil Soul Art, stop dreaming...”

Wu Xingwen retorted with absolute disbelief.

Just as Yang Dingtian was about to say something, there were sounds of galloping hoofs coming from below the mountain. Those riders were also yelling out at the same time.

Wu Xingwen’s expression changed, as he immediately knocked Yang Dingtian out with a palm strike to the back of Yang Dingtian’s head.

Yang Dingtian had just recovered from his injuries, and only less than half of his mystic qi had been recovered. Seeing how Wu Xingwen suddenly turned hostile and executed his palm strike, Yang Dingtian immediately burst in retreat. He was still hit by the powerful mystic qi blast on his head, causing him to blackout and instantly losing consciousness.

********************************************

When Yang Dingtian woke up again, he was already inside of a prison.

The entire prison was dark and damp, which was only the size of around ten square meters. Thick walls surrounded it, and the gate was made of pure metal that was a few inches thick.

“Ah, ah...” Suddenly, there was this voice, which sounded as if it were in pain, and in a daze, it was a voice that sounded familiar.

It’s Mu Lianyi’s voice. Yang Dingtian quickly leaned on the wall and forcefully banged on it while saying, “Mu Lianyi, is that you?”

“Crackle...” A small window was instantly opened up on the wall. A handsome face appeared at the window, and it was Wu Xinglie or also known as Wu Xingwen.

“Yang Dingtian, you have finally woke up. I have been waiting for a long time.” Wu Xingwen said, “I am going to perform a show for you.”

Finishing his statement, Wu Xingwen pointed at Mu Lianyi, who was on a bed.

The current Mu Lianyi had a flushed expression and dazzled eyes.

It was apparent that this beast had drugged Mu Lianyi.

“You drugged her? What kind of drug is it?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“That’s right. It is a very potent and very incredible drug. One that can cause a person to lose all rationality, one that can allow me to do whatever I desire,” Wu Xingwen sneered.

“You were once in love. Why are you doing such despicable things to her?” Yang Dingtian asked with an angry voice.

Wu Xingwen laughed grimly and said, “Since I have already torn off the pretense, do I still have to pretend that I have affection for her? Isn’t it too tedious and senseless?”

Subsequently, he walked over to the side of Mu Lianyi’s bed while staring at her beautiful face.

“Back then, I was too silly and foolishly self-abased. After I got together with her, I didn’t even dare to hold her hands. Otherwise, she would have already belonged to me now.” Wu Xingwen laughed and said, “Yang Dingtian, you don’t want to let Mu Lianyi suffer such a horrifying fate, right? You just have to answer a question for me. As long as you answer it, I will release Mu Lianyi.”

“What question?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Where is Ximen Yanyan? Of course, I am asking on behalf of Qin Clan’s Young Lord. You too should know that he had been craving for your wife.” Wu Xingwen said, “He is actually drooling over for her. I already know about Ximen Yanyan’s reputational beauty, and all men dream of having a woman of unmatched beauty like her. You don’t have the capability to possess a woman like her.”

Even if Yang Dingtian answered that she was in the Sea of Hades, he believed that the Qin Clan’s Young Lord didn’t have the capability to take Yanyan away from the Sea of Hades. But Yang Dingtian wasn’t going to say it, as it would be of utmost humiliation and the greatest betrayal to Yanyan even though it would be a betrayal that no one would know of.

Seeing that Yang Dingtian was not determined to speak, Wu Xingwen smiled and reached out to caress Mu Lianyi’s face, while his eyes grew intensively evil.

“Such beauty is going to be tainted by me soon. What a pity,” Wu Xingwen said while laughing. His hands slipped down towards Mu Lianyi’s collar and were about to undo her skintight clothes.

“Kill me, hurry up and kill me. Young Lord, kill me...”

Even though her consciousness was blurred, Mu Lianyi instinctively yelled out.

“Don’t let this bastard touch me. Kill me quickly,” Mu Lianyi constantly screamed.

Right now, Wu Xingwen turned to look at Yang Dingtian and said, “I cannot endure it anymore. I am giving you the last chance. Answer my question... Where is Ximen Yanyan hiding now? I will count to three, and if you don’t answer, I cannot guarantee Mu Lianyi’s chastity anymore.”

“Three!”

“Two!”

“One!”

Wu Xingwen started his countdown, and it was about to end soon.

“You don’t have to answer anymore. I cannot take it anymore. I want to take her now!” Wu Xingwen yelled out and grabbed Mu Lianyi’s collar, tugging on it violently.

“Hold on!” Yang Dingtian suddenly shouted out.

Wu Xingwen laughed grimly and said, “You want to tell me where is Ximen Yanyan hiding now? Too late, I don’t want to know it anymore.”

Yang Dingtian spoke loudly, “Wu Xingwen, are you not interested in the deal that I proposed earlier? You know the power of the Evil Soul Art, right? It is the evilest and most powerful cultivation art in the world. As long as you have the Evil Soul Art, you will be able to kill the strongest enemies you encounter instantly. You don’t have to serve under anyone, and you can rise to an even higher status.”

Wu Xingwen’s body shivered as he took a breath and sneered. “I am very much interested in the Evil Soul Art, but do you think me as a fool? You merely composed such a lie to cheat me. The Evil Soul Art is the evil sacred art of the Temple of Blood. Who are you? How can you have it?”

“I have gone to the Temple of Blood previously. Dugu Xiao forcefully injected the Evil Soul Art into my mind and attempted to corrupt me with it,” Yang Dingtian explained.

“That is even more ridiculous.” Wu Xingwen laughed and said, “If you knew the Evil Soul Art, you could use it to kill me instantly. Why say all this nonsense with me? Why look on as I humiliate Mu Lianyi? Why do you even bother falling into my hands?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “I do not wish to be corrupted. Hence, I didn’t even use it when I was in the most crucial moment during the duel with Qin Shaobai. I didn’t use it in the past. I will not use it now. I will not use it in the future too.”

“Yang Dingtian, don’t brag too much. If you are so noble and determined, you wouldn’t cling onto your life and surrender willingly.” Wu Xingwen said, “I will believe that you have the Evil Soul Art if the sun rises from the west. Or unless the water flows in the opposite direction, or if I turn back into an upright gentleman. I am going to start enjoying Mu Lianyi now, and you keep your mouth shut.”

Immediately after, Wu Xingwen pounced at Mu Lianyi.

“This is the soul tool ring which Li Tianxiao wore in the past. You can see if it’s real or fake,” Yang Dingtian finished his words and immediately took out the soul tool ring. In fact, he took out that soul tool from his spatial ring, that incomparably evil and powerful soul tool ring.

****************************************

Once the soul tool ring was taken out, the surrounding temperature immediately dropped by several degrees. It felt as though there were howlings from countless malicious spirits by the ear, and as though there were cryings from countless vengeful spirits. This gloomy and cold presence immediately eliminated all the lust that was in Wu Xingwen’s body.

Wu Xingwen’s face instantly changed as he looked at the soul tool ring on Yang Dingtian’s hand with disbelief. It was obvious that he felt the mystical and horrors of this ring.

Yang Dingtian didn’t hesitate and immediately placed the soul tool ring on the small window. He said, “Take it, then.”

Wu Xingwen was stunned, and his body shivered as he responded, “Are you really giving it to me?”

“Of course,” said Yang Dingtian, as he immediately looked away.

Wu Xingwen was stunned for a few minutes before he quickly flew over to grab that soul tool ring.

He instantly felt a chilling sensation in his body, as his face turned ghastly pale, while his eyes were in disorder.

It was apparent that he already felt that powerful puppet battle soul within the soul tool, and the impact of the countless vengeful spirits. It was needless to say that this was truly a soul tool ring. A single touch would make one feel it.

“It wouldn’t work with just this soul tool. You have to learn the Soul Assimilating Art and the Soul Burst Art.” Yang Dingtian said, “Even if you have the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I don’t think you dare to go deal with Dugu Fengwu, right? She is very formidable and is raised in the Evil Dao. She would most likely crush you with a single finger. So, you can only hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl obediently to Qin Clan’s Young Lord and take your pitiful reward. You must want the Evil Soul Art, right? You must even be dreaming about it in your sleep. Right now, that opportunity is in front of you. Let’s deal.”

“Deal? How are we going to deal?” Wu Xingwen was obviously hooked away by the sudden appearance of the Evil Soul Art and the soul tool, which caused his earlier shrewdness and farsight to vanish.

“I don’t want Evil Soul Art. What I want is the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.” Yang Dingtian said, “So, you will give me the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, and I will teach you the Evil Soul Art. This is the reason why I surrendered myself because I want to have this deal with you.”

“Impossible. You are my prisoner, and you are not qualified to talk about the conditions with me.” Wu Xingwen sneered and said, “Furthermore, why didn’t you propose this at the Ecstacy Cliff yesterday night? Why are you only proposing it now? Is there a trick in this?”

“That’s because the Evil Soul Art requires a powerful individual as an experiment. I need to absorb his spirit soul to prove that my Evil Soul Art is the real thing. But on the Ecstacy Cliff yesterday night, there were only me and Mu Lianyi. I was afraid that you might use Mu Lianyi as an experiment,” Yang Dingtian explained.

Immediately after, Yang Dingtian spoke again, “Now, hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl to me, I will teach you the Evil Soul Art immediately.”

Wu Xingwen scoffed and said, “Aren’t you afraid that once you teach me the Evil Soul Art, I would still kill you. Since you are still in my hands?”

“That is such a danger, but I don’t have any other way but to take the risk.” Yang Dingtian spoke gently, “Moreover, after obtaining the Evil Soul Art, you will not willingly be a slave of the Northwest Qin Clan, and we can cooperate. I might have lost the Cloud Heaven City, but you know that I have a powerful ability on me, and I also control the Black Blood Cavalry. I, too, have an esteemed status, which I can use to give you many things.”

Wu Xingwen’s expression had a slight change, and it was obvious that he was tempted.

“I agree with the deal, but I cannot hand you the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl now.” Wu Xingwen said, “I know that the Evil Soul Art is separated into the Soul Assimilating Art and the Soul Burst Art. You have first to teach me the Soul Assimilating Art and prove that it was flawless. I will then hand you the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, and you will teach me the Soul Burst Art.”

Yang Dingtian fell into silence. A few minutes later, he lifted his head and replied, “Deal. You should capture a formidable subordinate first. Seal his mystic meridians, and I will teach you the Evil Soul Art. You can then try to see if you can extract the puppet battle soul.”

Wu Xingwen’s desire had completely vanished as he sprinted out and said, “Wait for me. I will be back quickly.”

*********************************************

Around ten minutes later, Wu Xingwen really dragged down an expert from the Blazing Fire Cavalry.

This officer from the Blazing Fire Cavalry had his mystic meridians sealed up and was completely immobilized. But his consciousness and mind were very clear, and his mystic qi had not suffered any damage at all too.

When Wu Xingwen dragged the officer down, the officer had eyes that were filled with puzzles and fear.

“Now, listen to me carefully. I will impart the Evil Soul Art to you, and I will also tell you the mystic qi circulation route,” said Yang Dingtian.

“Alright, please do so...” Wu Xingwen replied, “Once you teach me the Evil Soul Art, we will be allies.”

Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and started to recite every single sentence and word of the Evil Soul Art.

Just like the crazy words from the ghosts in the depths of hell, yet like the shouts from the devil in the nine heavens above.

Just like the horrifying echos in the crevice of darkness, yet like the release of the darkest corners in a human’s heart.

As Yang Dingtian recited the Evil Soul Art’s Soul Assimilating Art, the surrounding air turned cold, and the light turned dim.

Finally, the entire prison was echoing with the wailing of countless malicious spirits.

All the candles felt as though it was being restrained by ghosts and was getting dimmer and darker!

Over ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian recited the first portion of the evilest and most complex Evil Soul Art to Wu Xingwen.

“Have you remembered it?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“I have remembered it,” responded Wu Xingwen. He was indeed a genius and only required once to remember the whole mnemonic chant.

“Then try it. Try it on the officer that has his mystic meridians sealed. See if you can extract his puppet battle soul,” Yang Dingtian proposed.

“Yes,” replied Wu Xingwen.

Subsequently, Wu Xingwen sat cross-legged and held up the soul tool ring before he began executing the Soul Assimilating Art.

His mouth was reciting the terrifyingly evil curse, while the sinister mystic qi started to circulate in his body.

Wu Xingwen’s voice grew louder and louder.

Chilling and evil wind blew by.

That Blazing Fire Cavalry’s expert who had been immobilized slowly floated in midair. His eyes were filled with panic and fear.

“Huff...”

Dark energy vigorously surged out from Wu Xingwen’s body and penetrated the expert’s body.

Like a Ghost of Impermanence, this dark energy hooked onto the battle soul of the Blazing Fire Cavalry expert and pulled it out bit by bit. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Yang Dingtian saw the most strange scene in history.

Streaks of black qi presence and streaks of transparent ghostly material flew out from the soul tool ring: ones, tens, hundreds.

A few hundred transparent green human-shaped ghosts floated around the expert from the Blazing Fire Cavalry. They were all laughing malevolently and shrieking in sharp voices.

Finally, all the spirits vigorously pounced on that expert, his spirit soul instantly distorted and elongated. Countless spirit claws grabbed onto the expert’s spirit soul, tearing it apart in a frenzy.

This Blazing Fire Cavalry officer had sunk into extreme fear and insanity.

“Ahhh...” His mouth was wide opened, but he couldn’t let out any voice.

All his mystic meridians were sealed up, and he was completely immobilized. But right now, he was trembling nonstop.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish...” As the spirits were howling, countless ghost claw pulled out a white shadow from the expert’s body.

This was the puppet battle soul, which had separated from the body of the officer.

After pulling out the puppet battle soul, the spirits were all dancing and shrieking proudly.

“Swish...” Finally, these spirits grabbed onto the puppet battle soul, and vigorously tore it out from the expert’s body before entering the soul tool ring.

This scene not only shocked Wu Xingwen, but it had also utterly shocked Yang Dingtian.

Such horror!. It had truly consumed a human’s soul.
