Chapter 125: Chapter 83: Destroy the Soul Split, Ningxue Sword [Extra for Alliance Hierarch Ling Piaoping]

The three people around Fang Che felt a chill in their hearts: suddenly, Wei Zihao radiated an intense killing intent.

Wei Zihao only felt as if there was a voice in his mind discussing with him, "Let’s collaborate and slaughter everyone to break free. Otherwise, we will both die."

"They want to kill you, yet you did nothing wrong."

"You merely consumed a Heavenly Treasure. What fault is there in that?"

"Upon seeing Heavenly Treasures, who wouldn’t eat them?"

"Everything they can teach you, I can teach you as well, as long as you collaborate with me. What they can’t give you, I can give you everything!"

"Unparalleled power and supreme strength, invincible in the world."

"Open your heart. Stop thinking about that damned justice. Don’t pay attention to that accursed Jade Pendant. Merge with me and become one!"

Wei Zihao’s face suddenly contorted into a ghastly grimace.

"Right, what did I do wrong?"

"I only ate some Qi zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng. So, what?"

"Anyone would eat such a fine thing, wouldn’t they?"

"Why should I die for eating it?"

"What gives them the right?"

His will, upon feeling pressure, had already fallen prey to the seduction of the unknown soul. He didn’t even hesitate or struggle for a moment.

With a snap.

The Jade Pendant in Wei Zihao’s hand fell to the ground.

A surge of dark energy bolted up, enveloping Wei Zihao’s entire body like flames, even completely covering his head. Then the dark mist formed a new face that appeared.

A pair of bottomless pit-like eyes suddenly glared.

These eyes stared at Meng Hejun and the others, sneering, "So what if you’ve discovered me? What can you do to me!"

A hand formed from the dark mist grabbed a dim orb of light—the faint light was Wei Zihao’s soul and Divine Sense.

It was rapidly losing its luster, quickly merging into every strand of the dark mist, instantly turning pitch black, indiscernible from each other.

Meng Hejun and Gao Qingyu both sighed.

They had envisioned the worst-case scenario.

However, they never imagined that Wei Zihao would willingly merge with the other party, actively allowing himself to be devoured.

This was simply...

Yet, they somewhat understood. Indeed, not everyone is a loyal and courageous hero. In the face of life and death, some people choose to die with honor, but others choose to stay intact.

It’s just a personal choice, nothing to be enraged about.

They had already given him a chance, which was more than sufficient kindness and righteousness.

As for such an outcome, they had already been prepared. It was no surprise. After all, it was apparent that Wei Zihao was not someone with firm conviction.

"Demon! Meet your death!"

Huang Yifan’s hand gleamed with white light as he struck down with a palm carrying the force of wind and thunder.

Simultaneously, Meng Hejun decisively threw the Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl.

As the Jade Bowl soared into the sky, it unleashed a torrent of energy, transforming into white threads of light—pure and mighty, casting down from above.

The black shadow and mist were completely immobilized!

Upon contacting the white light from the Jade Bowl, the mysterious shadow found itself unable to move.

"Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl?!"

The shadow roared ferociously, "Do you really think you can capture me? Break free!"

He fiercely retaliated.

Amidst the swirling dark energy, two massive black hands materialized and clutched at the edges of the Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl.

It was at that moment that Huang Yifan’s hand struck first but landed last. With a slap, his palm hit Wei Zihao’s head.

His Spiritual Energy suddenly burst forth.

Pressed down!

Instantly, the sound of Wei Zihao’s bones cracking echoed from his head to his feet, as every bone in his body shattered into pieces!

His entire body turned into a pile of broken flesh.

The physical body was annihilated.

"You bastard!"

The dark mist screamed furiously, and without its host body, the holy light in the air suddenly intensified. With a swoosh, the dark mist was completely absorbed by the Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl.

With a snap, the lid of the Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl closed by itself, falling to the ground.

It rolled wildly on the ground, and inside, the sounds of frenzied banging and struggling curses could be heard.

Clearly, the shadow had not given up.

"Lucky it was just a Soul Split."

Meng Hejun wiped the cold sweat from her face, still shaken, "And it was a Soul Split that hadn’t grown yet. It’s fortunate we discovered it early; given more time, things might have turned dire."

Gao Qingyu also felt a wave of relief.

If it hadn’t been for Fang Che, someone like Wei Zihao, neither a genius, nor a waste, would have simply grown up unremarkably in the Martial Arts Academy without drawing any attention.

Even if his skin was gradually changing, it would have been challenging to notice. After all, it’s nothing significant if a student’s skin color changes during training or after consuming various Spiritual Medicines.

If that were the case... especially now with the blood sacrifice ongoing... if the blood sacrifice were successful...

If the Soul Split had taken over the body, continuously devouring students in the guise of an ordinary student in the Martial Arts Academy, no one would have been able to detect it with the Soul Split’s methods.

They would have had no choice but to watch helplessly as countless students died one by one, becoming nourishment for the Soul Split.

As the Soul Split grew stronger, the consumption would accelerate.

Baiyun Martial Academy would quickly become a realm of demons in just a short time!

Over the entire Baiyun State, no one in Baiyun Martial Academy would be able to survive!

Thinking about the consequences, Gao Qingyu felt cold sweat break out all over his body.

The three exchanged glances and all breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, just in time. We finally succeeded."

"All thanks to Fang Che!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl on the ground.

To the three’s disbelief, there was a crack sound, and a crack actually appeared.

A wisp of black mist quickly drilled out from the crack.

Its color had faded quite a bit, obviously losing much of its energy, but, after all, it had escaped!

Meng Hejun was greatly alarmed.

She immediately brought out another Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl.

She finally understood why she was told to take two Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowls. The strength of this shadowy soul was far beyond her imagination!

Before this, no soul had ever managed to break a Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl from the inside out using just the power of the soul!

Whose soul split was this, after all?

The Soul Extinguishing Jade Bowl waited beside the first cracked bowl, waiting for the shadow to completely emerge.

And just like that, it was all captured into the new Jade Bowl.

The two were pressed close together, and the shadow had no room to struggle.

The process was smooth.

"Ninth Lord’s foresight truly has no equal in this world!"

Meng Hejun said with heartfelt admiration.

The shadow that was captured again now stood no chance of breaking the bowl. Breaking the previous one had already depleted ninety percent of its soul foundation.

Now it was so weak it could barely maintain form.

A chill descended from the heavens.

A figure in white appeared in the room as if out of thin air.

His gaze sharp as a sword, he calmly asked, "Is it done?"

"Done!"

The three hurried to pay their respects, "We greet you, Lord."

The man in white nodded slightly, picked up the Jade Bowl, examined the previously shattered one, and said softly, "Truly worthy of..."

The three pricked up their ears to listen, but the man in white did not continue.

He stowed both Jade Bowls into his Space Ring and said, "You all did very well. Ninth Lord said that the Baiyun Martial Arts Academy is to be officially commended, and the corresponding rewards will be given to you during the next meeting of all the Martial Arts Academies."

"Thank you, Ninth Lord!"

Gao Qingyu nearly jumped for joy.

This was clearly a sign from above that he was to shine in front of the other Mountain Masters!

It was so exhilarating!

Then surely I’ll frustrate those old fellows so much they’ll have heart attacks, or else I’ve lived for nothing this time around!

"If you have any other requests, you may make them."

The man in white stood there, his presence as majestic as a soaring sword or a snow-capped mountain piercing the clouds.

Yet he was the one delivering a message, "These words are also from Ninth Lord."

The three looked at each other, "It’s nothing but our duty. We have no other requests."

"Good! I must be off! The battle continues elsewhere!"

The man in white suddenly transformed into a beam of sword light and flew out the window.

In an instant, he became a bright spot in the distant sky and then, in the blink of an eye, even the bright spot disappeared.

Huang Yifan finally snapped out of it, his voice full of shock, "Was... was that Lord Jian?"

"Yes, that was Lord Jian of the Ningxue Sword, ranked among the top three on the Weapon List."

"Today, we truly saw him in person!"

"His aura spans thirty thousand miles, his sword edge cleaves through the autumn of nine days; he battles alone outside heaven’s gate, his frosty spirit flows with elegance. Lord Jian’s grace truly has no equal in this world."

Huang Yifan’s eyes shone brightly, and his face seemed to light up as well.

Meng Hejun was also moved and said, "My father told me that Lord Jian was my uncle’s lifelong goal; my uncle’s most admired person in his life was Lord Dao, but the person he wished to become the most was Ningxue Sword, Lord Jian. Just this past visit to my uncles, they mentioned this."

Meng Hejun sighed, "I’ve never met my uncle, but... whenever my father and the others talk about him, they are always stirred, grateful, and respectful. The bell I wear was a birth gift from my uncle."

She gently plucked at the bell on her wrist, producing a crisp tinkling sound.

She spoke wistfully, "This bell was something my uncle chanced upon when he inadvertently entered the dwelling of a great person. It contains miraculous powers. Even if I were in a deadly predicament, this bell could preserve my soul intact."

"For this matter, my father has felt guilty all his life, because if that bell had been with my uncle at the time, even if his body was completely destroyed in a battle with Shattering Dream Spear Duan Xiyang, he could have survived. Unfortunately, it wasn’t on him."

"My mother said that when my father came back and put the bell on my wrist, he held me and wept bitterly... Ah, I never met my uncle, but just by listening to the older generation, I have a very clear picture in my heart."

Hearing Meng Hejun talk about the previous generation, Gao Qingyu replied solemnly, "How are the Star Lords?"

"They’re all quite well. It’s just that each one of them has obviously aged quite a bit."

"May the Star Lords live a healthy and long life."

Huang Yifan and Gao Qingyu said in unison.

The strength of the Star Lords might not be very high, which they all knew, but the noble character of the Star Lords was something that deserved everyone’s respect.

Meng Hejun drifted off for a moment before saying, "Lord Jian must have been the backup arrangement by Ninth Lord, in case we couldn’t handle the soul. But... why would Lord Jian come in person?"

This question, despite wracking their brains, none could answer.

At that moment.

Far off on the horizon, a sword light rocketed towards the sky, resplendent and brilliant, seeming to split the heavens in two.

Despite being hundreds or even thousands of miles away, just seeing this sword light made their eyes hurt as if they themselves were being sliced open.

"Lord Jian has made his move!"
