“What deal?” Shadow Six asked.
Shadow Thirteen muttered, “That person helped her plant a life force for Zhou Jin. She… sacrificed herself to that person.”
“That’s right.” Yan Jiuchao nodded.
“Who is that?” Shadow Six asked.
“Soul Rakshasa,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Shadow Six’s eyebrows twitched. “What? Soul Rakshasa? Why is it him?”
Shadow Thirteen speculated, “In the entire Sorcerer Clan, only him and the
Sorcerer King have the strength to change Zhou Jin’s fate. However, the
Sorcerer King can’t die too early. He has to extend Zhou Jin’s life force, so the
Soul Rakshasa is the only candidate.”
After a pause, Shadow Thirteen continued, “But I still don’t understand how all of this happened. What I mean is… even if the Saint King wants to ask Soul Rakshasa for help, is Soul Rakshasa willing to help?”
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “He had no choice but to help. He was severely injured by the Saint King and the Sorcerer King. If he didn’t agree to the deal with the Saint King, the Saint King would die with him. In order to survive, he could only help Zhou Jin change his fate.”
Upon hearing this, Shadow Six finally came around. It turned out that Soul Rakshasa was not willing to do this, but was forced to do so. No wonder, how could that demonic creature change his fate for the children of his enemies?
Shadow Six thought of something and said, “Then… Young Master, why did you say that the Saint King sacrificed herself to the Soul Rakshasa?”
Yan Jiuchao did not say anything. Shadow Thirteen said to Shadow Six, “I think she should have willingly been devoured by Soul Rakshasa after she gave birth to Zhou Jin.”
“Wasn’t Soul Rakshasa sealed?” Shadow Six asked.
This… Shadow Thirteen couldn’t guess either.
Yan Jiuchao said, “This is the Saint King’s trick. On the surface, she agreed to sacrifice herself, but in reality, she has the intention of perishing with Soul Rakshasa. Soul Rakshasa might know her plans. However, the Saint King after giving birth will definitely be very weak. Soul Rakshasa feels that he can take a gamble. In the end, the Saint King really couldn’t kill Soul Rakshasa, but used her body to seal him.”
Shadow Thirteen said in a daze, “In that case, it wasn’t the coffin that sealed the Soul Rakshasa at all, but the Saint King’s corpse in the coffin?”
Yan Jiuchao nodded. “According to the current clues, that’s the case. However, the clues we have are limited, so there might be a truth that we didn’t guess.”
Shadow Six sighed and said, “The Sorcerer King is still kept in the dark. What a
miserable man!”
Shadow Six put away the Saint King’s bone. It was almost time, and the group set off for the Light Hall. Yan Jiuchao stopped halfway.
“What’s wrong, Young Master?” Shadow Thirteen asked.
Yan Jiuchao said with a deep gaze, “Soul Rakshasa is about to wake up.” “Isn’t it always awake?” Shadow Six muttered.
“He’s going to wake up completely.” Yan Jiuchao narrowed his eyes. “His aura suddenly became stronger.”
It was not twice as strong, but ten times, ten times more!
Soon, Shadow Thirteen also sensed the shuddering aura. “Why did he suddenly become so strong? Did he eat some miracle medicine?”
“Sorcerer Queen.” Yan Jiuchao’s eyes turned cold.
“Yes! It must be the Sorcerer Queen! That vicious woman thought of ways to wake up Soul Rakshasa. She must have drugged Soul Rakshasa, which is why Soul Rakshasa is about to completely wake up so quickly!”
According to their original deduction, the Soul Rakshasa would not wake up for long today no matter what. That way, their chances of succeeding would not be very high, at least not too small. However, it would probably be difficult for them to kill it now.
Soul Rakshasa’s aura suddenly increased. Every time he breathed, he could feel the killing intent in the air. What was even more terrifying than the pressure of an expert was that this aura attacked a person’s consciousness.
“Ah—” Shadow Six had a splitting headache!
Shadow Thirteen had never felt such a feeling before. It was not pain, but it was greater than pain. He was even a little crazy. A voice in his heart was clamoring, making him want to destroy something.
Shadow Thirteen pressed his head and used his powerful willpower to stabilize his last bit of rationality. “Young Master! Let’s leave first and come back when you’ve completely recovered.”
Yan Jiuchao’s eyes turned cold. The commotion in the Hall of Light became louder and louder, but Yan Jiuchao did not leave just like that. Instead, he flew up and flew towards the center of the commotion.
“Young Master!” Shadow Thirteen’s expression changed! He reached out to grab Yan Jiuchao, but he didn’t manage to. He was so anxious that his face turned pale. “Is Young Master crazy? Soul Rakshasa has already completely woken up. He only has fifty percent of his strength. How can he be a match for Soul Rakshasa?”
Yan Jiuchao had his own plans. Although it was very risky, it was even more dangerous to let the Soul Rakshasa break out of the seal. He decided to kill the Soul Rakshasa the moment he broke through the coffin!
The four Martial Rakshasas and the ten Great Sorcerers keenly felt an abnormally cold aura. One of the Great Sorcerers said, “Hmph, the Sorcerer Queen was right. Someone really came to assassinate Soul Rakshasa! Overestimating themselves! Form the formation!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was overturned by a powerful cold aura with his companions. The ten great sorcerers did not even have a chance to use their fists and feet before they fainted one by one.
However, before everyone fainted, a question flashed across their minds. Was that the aura of the Longevity Technique just now? It had been many years since such pure power of the Longevity Technique had appeared in the Sorcerer Clan. Who exactly was it? Who had cultivated the Longevity Technique to such a realm?
The Martial Rakshasas circulated their strength and flew up.
The most important task now was to deal with the Soul Rakshasa. He did not have the time to spar with them. Yan Jiuchao released his aura and flicked his sleeve, instantly sending the four Martial Rakshasas flying.
Yan Jiuchao’s body hung in the air as he used his internal energy to suck up a sword on the ground. Then, he swept towards the side hall that was suppressing the Soul Rakshasa with a cold expression.
He arrived in time. The coffin had just cracked. He gripped his sword tightly and stabbed at the coffin. A huge sword aura tore the coffin into pieces, and the coffin exploded, revealing the demonic creature sealed inside.
However, the moment he saw his appearance clearly, Yan Jiuchao’s sword stopped. Inside the coffin was a woman, a woman who was seventy percent similar to Zhou Jin.
Almost in an instant, Yan Jiuchao guessed her identity.
Saint King!
The Saint King had used her body to seal the Soul Rakshasa. So, this was the Saint King’s corpse? Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw the Saint King, who should have been a corpse, suddenly open her eyes!
Yan Tiuchao was stunned! The Saint King. who had 0Dened her eves. curled her
pale lips into a smile and slapped Yan Jiuchao! Yan Jiuchao keenly avoided this palm. However, he also missed the best time to kill the Soul Rakshasa.
The two of them started fighting fiercely.
When Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen arrived, the two of them had already fought from the side hall to the main hall. They were too fast, and Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen could only see afterimages.
Shadow Six looked at the almost imperceptible afterimage and said, “Has the
Soul Rakshasa woken up? Did Young Master fight it?”
Shadow Thirteen said, “I think so.” That person had the aura of a Soul Rakshasa.
Shadow Six said, “Let’s quickly take the Saint King’s corpse away!”
Since the Saint King had sealed the Soul Rakshasa with her body, her body must also be under the coffin. However, to their shock, after moving the coffin away, they saw a skeleton wearing a man’s clothes.
It was possible for her to dress up as a man, but… this didn’t look like a woman’s skeleton at all. Women were not so tall, and their pelvis was also different from the men’s.
“Look over there!” Shadow Thirteen looked at the eaves opposite and said.
Yan Jiuchao exchanged a few blows with the other party and temporarily separated. Shadow Six saw a woman in red looking at his Young Master evilly.
Yan Jiuchao’s situation was not good. After all, he only had fifty percent of his strength. Shadow Six was dumbfounded. “That… that person… looks like Zhou Jin… Could it be… she’s the Saint King? But why does she… have the aura of a
Soul Rakshasa?”
Shadow Thirteen’s eyes darkened. “The Saint King… was counterattacked by Rakshasa Soul. ”
The Saint King used her body as a seal to suppress the Soul Rakshasa. The Soul Rakshasa could not leave, but he was unwilling to accept his fate. Coincidentally, at that time, the Saint King had already exhausted her life force, and the Soul Rakshasa devoured her day and night. At first, the Saint King might be able to resist, but at her weakest moment, he still succeeded.
Shadow Six widened his eyes in fear. “Then is this person the Soul Rakshasa or the Saint King?”
Shadow Thirteen said with a complicated expression, “Soul Rakshasa Soul passed all his strength and memories to her. She’s no longer the Saint King.”
Soul Rakshasa understood that he could not leave. After all, only the Saint King could undo the seal. Therefore, Soul Rakshasa thought of this method to turn the Saint King into his other self.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Soul Rakshasa, this was a disguised rebirth and also a bloody revenge..
