Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Divine Soul Duel

"Brother Lin Chen, be careful— this witch is unleashing a divine soul attack."

"If one is hit by her divine soul attack, their divine soul will be occupied, injected with consciousness, and they’ll likely become a walking corpse, a slave to her whims. Those three behind her seem to be under her control."

The moment Qiu Ya heard Black Widow’s laughter, her brow furrowed with recognition of the trickery at play, and she immediately stepped in front of Lin Chen to intercept, unleashing her own divine soul and launching it towards Black Widow.

In Qiu Ya’s view, although Lin Chen’s combat abilities were strong, his cultivation was only at the Melding Earth Realm, so his divine soul couldn’t be that powerful. Therefore, she had to intervene; she couldn’t let Lin Chen fall under the opponent’s control, for if that happened, Black Widow would gain control of a powerful combatant.

If that were the case, commanding Lin Chen to slay them would be all too easy for her.

"Hmph, with just you, you dare to contend against my soul power? You’re simply courting death."

Black Widow coldly snorted, immediately intensifying the release of her soul power.

Qiu Ya unleashed her soul power to counter Black Widow, and after a short exchange, her complexion turned exceedingly pale.

"So it’s the Wandering Soul Physique, isn’t it?"

At that moment, Lin Chen wasn’t concerned with Black Widow’s divine soul attack; instead, he focused on Qiu Ya, who was using her soul power to fight Black Widow.

The very first time Lin Chen saw Qiu Ya, he sensed that her physique was special, which was why he had offered to protect her.

And now, as soon as Qiu Ya made her move, Lin Chen immediately confirmed the nature of Qiu Ya’s physique.

With the Wandering Soul Physique, cultivating spiritual power might not differ much from ordinary martial artists, but if one cultivated soul power, it could be three to four times faster than average.

Moreover, if she had an advanced soul cultivation technique, it wouldn’t take long for Qiu Ya to cultivate her divine soul to an incredibly strong level, perhaps even reaching Lin Chen’s realm.

"Pfft—"

After the exchange, Qiu Ya ultimately couldn’t withstand Black Widow, and fresh blood suddenly sprayed from her mouth.

"With just you, you deludedly think you can fight me."

"You two, go and kill her."

Black Widow ordered the two martial artists behind her.

No sooner had she spoken than two men leapt up, their hands glowing with spiritual light, hurling it towards Qiu Ya.

Whoosh whoosh—

Just as the two controlled martial artists were about to strike Qiu Ya, two men, one in a green robe and the other with a scar across his face, leaped from behind Lin Chen to confront the attackers.

Now, these two made their move, engaging in battle with the two controlled martial artists, and it wasn’t long before they seemed to have the upper hand.

It appeared the two controlled martial artists, although at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, were unable to fully exert their strength, managing to release only about eighty percent of their power.

Perhaps this was due to Black Widow controlling both at the same time.

"You, get in there too."

Black Widow’s red lips parted slightly, and another martial artist behind her also lunged at Qiu Ya.

Black Widow’s soul attack had a cooldown period; she had to wait a while before she could launch it a second time.

She hadn’t expected her soul attack to be resisted by Qiu Ya, a martial artist at the Fourth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.

Whatever methods the Black Widow used, her goal was to first kill Qiu Ya. That way, when she released her second soul attack, she would be able to control Lin Chen and the two others.

"Brother Lin Chen, be careful."

At this moment, Qiu Ya’s body swayed unsteadily. The soul attack from the Black Widow had injured her divine soul, and she was already unable to continue fighting.

Lin Chen watched the martial artist coming at him and sighed softly. He had wanted to conserve strength for the upcoming tower trials, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to take action.

However, Lin Chen was quite interested in the Black Widow’s technique of controlling others.

Boom—

Lin Chen leaped into action, facing the incoming martial artist. He threw a punch directly, sending the opponent flying and crashing to the ground.

"What... what happened to me? Was I being controlled just now...?"

The man who had attacked Lin Chen was jolted awake by Lin Chen’s punch. He now looked at the Black Widow with a wary expression and even took a few steps back, somewhat fearful.

He vaguely remembered having lustful thoughts towards the Black Widow, and it seemed she reciprocated, getting closer and embracing him. She blew into his ear, and afterward, he could not remember anything until waking up to the current scenario.

The man had heard of the Black Widow’s reputation and had some recollection of being controlled.

"This woman is truly terrifying,"

the awakened man muttered to himself. He then promptly leaped up and dove out of one of the tower’s windows. Tang Yuntian had previously mentioned that if one wished to withdraw from the contest, one could exit through a window of the tower and be transported directly outside.

"Damned weakling, you dare to mess up my plans,"

the Black Widow spat out furiously upon seeing the martial artist she had controlled brought to his senses by Lin Chen’s punch.

However, she did not approach to battle Lin Chen, instead waiting for her soul attack to recover.

"Boy, I will control you, and then I will torture you grievously until you die in agony,"

she declared.

Before long, the Black Widow’s soul attack finally recovered.

Whirr—

Suddenly, the Black Widow launched another soul attack, striking at Lin Chen.

"Courting death!"

Lin Chen spoke indifferently, stepping forward as he unleashed his powerful Soul Power, attacking the Black Widow in retaliation.

At the instant of the soul clash, the Black Widow’s face showed shock. She clutched her head and screamed in pain, then collapsed to the ground, rolling around in torment.

Her appearance indicated that her divine soul had sustained tremendous damage.

"So, it’s the Innate Enchanting Body, no wonder she can control others,"

Lin Chen remarked as he watched the Black Widow writhing on the ground, sighing softly.

The Innate Enchanting Body and the Ghostly Soul Physique were both excellent physiques for soul cultivation—one had a speed advantage in cultivating the divine soul, while the other specialised in controlling martial artists with weaker souls.

Unfortunately for the Black Widow, Lin Chen had no sympathy for a woman who toyed with the lives of others and had no intention of taking her under his command. That’s why he destroyed her Soul Sea earlier, leaving her to her fate.
