Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Terrible Conjecture

Duan Xinyuan’s expression was grave; he hadn’t expected the other party’s cultivation to also be at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. However, the opponent’s power seemed to have a devouring ability, weakening his attack strength the moment it was unleashed.

This Soul-devouring Demon is truly difficult to deal with.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Family Head Duan, let’s take this outside. Don’t destroy this place."

Duan Xinyuan was speechless. At this moment, he still cared about such things?

Nevertheless, he flickered and dashed out the door.

Zhang Hao gave a sinister smile and followed out like a black light.

Qin Yi, Zhang Wenhao, and Zhang Shun also followed out.

Outside, on the grassy ground, it was quite spacious, suitable for combat.

Duan Xinyuan and Zhang Hao stood a dozen meters apart, staring intently at each other.

Zhang Hao let out a sinister laugh and dashed toward Duan Xinyuan like lightning, raising his hand to release a black light that blasted through the air.

Air currents surged around Duan Xinyuan as he raised his hand to slash through the air, revealing a saber shadow.

With a boom!

The saber shadow slashed at the black light, exploding with a roar, and they were both blasted back by the force.

Zhang Hao looked fierce, closing in on Duan Xinyuan like lightning, and the two instantly tangled into a fierce battle.

Both combatants were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, making their fight quite spectacular, with blows exchanged back and forth, yet hard to distinguish who had the upper hand!

Where they passed, the ground cracked, soil flew, and flying grass blades were pulverized by the force.

Boom!

As their palms clashed, energy swept across the area.

Both were knocked back by each other’s palm force.

Zhang Hao landed, his face menacing, "I didn’t expect you to be able to fight me to this extent. It seems that in this world, you’re the strongest human, right?"

Duan Xinyuan’s eyes showed a hint of strangeness, and he sneered, "Your ignorance is truly astounding. Many are stronger than me. As for you, you’re really nothing special."

Zhang Hao shouted angrily, "Impossible, the people in this world are all pitifully weak."

"That’s just because you’ve never seen true experts, frog in a well."

With that, Duan Xinyuan’s aura grew even stronger, and he slashed through the air.

A saber energy over ten meters long manifested and slashed down toward Zhang Hao’s head.

Yet, Zhang Hao merely gave an odd smile, his aura suddenly retracting, and he looked up at the descending saber shadow without dodging.

Seeing this, Duan Xinyuan’s face changed drastically.

Zhang Wenhao and Zhang Shun shouted out in tension.

If Zhang Hao didn’t dodge, this slash would surely kill his body, while the Soul-devouring Demon would remain unharmed.

Qin Yi’s eyes turned cold; this Soul-devouring Demon was quite cunning. He suddenly raised his hand, and purplish light surged out, enveloping the descending saber shadow tightly.

Boom!

A storm swept across, lifting turf from the ground and spreading cracks.

Duan Xinyuan’s attack was crushed by Qin Yi in mid-air.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

Zhang Hao suddenly looked at Qin Yi, shocked, "So you’re the strongest human in this world."

Qin Yi’s gaze was indifferent, and he snorted, "Frog in a well, do you think you’re worthy of lording over this world?"

Zhang Hao gave a sinister laugh, "This body’s owner must be important to you, right? If you want to kill me, you’ll have to harm this body first. Do you have the capability to kill me?"

"Mr. Qin..." Zhang Wenhao looked worried.

Qin Yi waved his hand, "Relax, Zhang Hao will be fine!"

With those words, Qin Yi looked at the Soul-devouring Demon, "Since you won’t answer my question, I’ll just have to destroy you!"

Qin Yi raised his hand, purplish light surged out, instantly forming a circle, sealing Zhang Hao’s surroundings, then transformed his hand into claws, unleashing terrifying suction.

"This, this is impossible..."

Zhang Hao suddenly screamed in terror.

Qin Yi sneered, "I’m going to turn all impossibilities into possibilities; get out of there."

With a furious roar, Qin Yi forcefully pulled the Soul-devouring Demon out of Zhang Hao’s body.

Once outside of Zhang Hao’s body, the Soul-devouring Demon could no longer speak, emitting an ear-piercing shriek, struggling to escape.

Yet, even if it were at the Great Perfection stage, it wouldn’t stand a chance against Qin Yi.

Qin Yi formed a seal with one hand, and suddenly purple Red Flames appeared around the Soul-devouring Demon... Chaos Extreme Fire.

The Soul-devouring Demon only managed to let out a scream before being incinerated into ashes by the Chaos Extreme Fire, disappearing without a trace.

Duan Xinyuan was full of admiration; Qin Yi’s methods and cultivation were unfathomable. He had fought with the Soul-devouring Demon for so long, yet Qin Yi had vanquished it with a simple gesture.

Qin Yi stepped forward, sending a streak of purplish light into Zhang Hao’s body.

Soon, Zhang Hao opened his eyes.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Zhang Wenhao and Zhang Shun hurriedly stepped forward, full of concern.

Zhang Hao shook his head, struggling to turn over, then knelt before Qin Yi.

"Mr. Qin, I’m sorry! I was truly out of control, I couldn’t control myself..."

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Get up, I understand!"

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

Zhang Hao sincerely expressed his gratitude; without Qin Yi, he wouldn’t have regained consciousness.

"What conditions did the Soul-devouring Demon make you agree to?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.

Zhang Hao’s face changed dramatically, and he knelt down again, "Mr. Qin, spare my life, I’m guilty... I agreed to help it find food, and it promised not to kill me."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "I don’t blame you; preserving your life is not wrong."

Even ants cling to life, let alone Zhang Hao, a man of power and influence, who fears death more than ordinary people.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for understanding!" Zhang Hao was visibly moved.

Qin Yi asked, "Where were you possessed?"

"At a bar!"

Qin Yi squinted slightly, after a brief silence, asked, "Were you at the bar looking for women?"

Zhang Hao nodded lightly, full of shame.

"That makes sense. The Soul-devouring Demon is most likely to possess those with desires."

"Tell me, what did it feel like being possessed by the Soul-devouring Demon?"

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and answered earnestly, "I felt like a puppet, my body was not under my control, but I was aware of everything happening."

Qin Yi frowned slightly, looking at Duan Xinyuan, "The Soul-devouring Demon is trickier than I imagined. It seals the original host’s soul upon possession, then slowly assimilates it."

"If the Soul-devouring Demon completely assimilates the original host’s soul, then this body will truly change owners."

Duan Xinyuan’s face changed drastically, "You mean, if the Soul-devouring Demon assimilates Zhang Hao’s soul, it will completely become Zhang Hao? But not the Zhang Hao it was before."

Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "My greatest fear is that once assimilation is successful, the eyes might return to normal. In such a case, no one would be able to tell whether it’s the original host or the Soul-devouring Demon."

Duan Xinyuan looked equally worried.

This is truly terrifying! Just imagining being replaced by a Soul-devouring Demon, without anyone noticing the change, sent a chill down his spine.

Qin Yi said solemnly, "This is just my speculation, maybe such a thing won’t happen at all. Or perhaps the Soul-devouring Demon doesn’t have this ability."

Duan Xinyuan expressed his concern, "I hope so! If your speculation is true, that’s truly terrifying!"
