Chapter 656: Chapter 533, Soul Capturing Jade Chapter 656: Chapter 533, Soul Capturing Jade The necromantic avatar glanced at the corpse of the tavern owner.
Frowning slightly, it said, “This is more serious than Shi Yali.”
“Give it a try, if it doesn't work, then so be it,” the prophetic avatar remarked.
The necromantic avatar nodded, drank a Spirit Potion, twisted the owner's head back into place, and once again cast the Revival Technique.
Violent coughing ensued.
The tavern owner, too, was restored from the state of death.
Both avatars were somewhat surprised.
After administering some Healing Potions to him,
the prophetic avatar speculated, “Could it be that as the level increases, this ability improves as well? How come they all revived?”
Both having been resurrected, it could no longer be explained by luck alone.
One could not help but suspect that after reaching level 18, the efficacy of the Revival Technique had also increased.
At the very least, the duration one could be dead had been extended.
On the other side, in the battle zone,
with the addition of several of Wu Heng's avatars and Xi Ligui,
the pace of the battle accelerated. The church members were not numerous to begin with; the troublesome part was those hiding in the shadows, constantly causing small disturbances.
After the last evil cult member died, the scene finally fell into complete silence.
Several squads quickly entered the scene, checking on the corpses to confirm the identities of these individuals.
Soon after, they returned briskly, “Five normal living corpses, and a total of seven carrion. Based on their attire and fighting style, it is impossible to determine the identity of the Necromancer.”
This statement made the four Wu Hengs and Xi Ligui simultaneously frown.
“He escaped? With so many surrounding him, how could that be possible?” Xi Ligui's expression grew even grimmer.
If he really had escaped, the island was still in danger.
The most dangerous was this Necromancer; as for other professions, even if they escaped, they wouldn't really be able to stir up much trouble.
“Search, everyone fan out and track him down for me; we're all in danger if he escapes,” Xi Ligui ordered.
All squads immediately returned to their teams, and personnel rapidly dispersed, starting to search the surrounding area.
Xi Ligui continued, “Bring the Prophet over. Let's see if we can find the target with his carrion.”
“Alright!” Wu Heng nodded.
Just as an avatar was about to go and fetch the Prophet,
Glenda swooped down from above, remaining invisible, and whispered in Wu Heng's ear, “There's a level 18 professional over there.”
Wu Heng's pupils shrank, he lowered his voice and said, “We've found the target. Go to the tavern, bring the other two, and let's kill him.”
Xi Ligui's eyes also filled with hatred, and she nodded, “Good!”
In a small alley behind the tavern,
a dirt coffin rose from the ground, the coffin dissolving like fine sand, revealing a Necromancer in a black robe.
His gaze swept rapidly around, then he donned a hood of a different color and started walking toward the rear of the city.
Today's action against the assistant had some unexpected developments.
But the problem wasn't too big. The target was dead, and he had managed to escape amidst their encirclement.
He walked briskly outward.
Looking back at the direction of the association, he sneered, “Hmph, we have all the time in the world. I'll slowly kill those close to you.”
After saying that, he continued to stride away swiftly.
Just as he took two steps, his body suddenly staggered, feeling a powerful force smashing him forward a distance.
Then came a deafening explosion.
The Necromancer looked down in confusion, only to see a fist-sized gaping wound on his right chest.
The body of a dried corpse meant no pain was felt,
yet he was shocked by the sudden attack.
As he rolled on the ground, he raised his Magic Wand, about to cast a Skill.
But in an instant, the arm holding the wand exploded, leaving the wand and the arm flying away.
“Damn it! Who's attacking? Find them and kill them,” the Necromancer roared in terror.
Ghosts were released to locate the source of the attack.
Bang, bang, bang! As his voice fell, three more explosions sounded.
The Necromancer's body was blown apart in succession, with flesh and blood splattering all over the nearby walls.
The decayed body meant a lack of the sensation of pain, but that also made the body much stiffer.
Even as the direction of the incoming bullets was identified, his body couldn't make the movements to dodge. Trapped in the narrow alley, he was like a sitting duck.
The ghosts returned with information.
The Necromancer's eyes widened as he shouted toward the distance, “Wu Heng, come out. Let's talk.”
No reply came from the surroundings.
“You're not level 12; you must have reached a level 15 professional, always hiding your true level, are you afraid the association would fear our profession?”
“At your age, it's truly astonishing, and also worrying, that you join us at the Heaven Destiny Cult. I can make you the Saint Heir of the church, with rights and women, these things we can secretly support you with. You'd still be the Island Master of the association and you could also receive our resources.”
“Being so clever, you should understand what I mean!”
Seeing that the other party wasn't attacking, the Necromancer felt pleased, “What do you say? We are of the same kind, after all. What kind of communication can you have with those people in the association?”
Tap, tap, tap~!
“You've killed so many people, and now you want me to join?”
As the voice rang out, the Necromancer suddenly turned and saw a black-haired man dressed in a robe with leather armor over it walking out from the side.
The Island Master of Gold and Silver Island, the Necromancer Wu Heng.
The Necromancer frowned; according to the messages from the Ghosts, he shouldn't be here.
But he still replied, “The value of a person increases with their performance. You're worth the price I'm offering.”
“You, a Great Knight, can make such a decision? To declare me a Saint Heir and talk of support so casually?” Another voice sounded.
The Necromancer turned his head again and saw another Wu Heng, stepping out from the right.
His eyebrows instantly furrowed as he looked left and right a couple of times.
A double?
He had prepared a double for himself.
Still, he said, “Given your potential, the Prophet will certainly agree to this matter.”
“You invite him, but what about the revenge for my sister? After killing so many people, you still want to live and return?” Behind him, Xi Ligui dropped down from above.
“You…”, the color drained from the Necromancer's face, aware that there was no point in negotiating any longer.
Just as he was about to react.
Bang~!
The sound of a gunshot rang out again, and a bullet instantly pierced through his forehead.
Meanwhile, the Wu Hengs on either side were holding submachine guns, squeezing the triggers, as a barrage of bullets hit the target's body.
Like shooting at rubber, there was a smacking noise.
The body was instantly riddled with holes.
The body gradually fell.
The next moment, four Ghosts detached from the body, attempting to flee to the outside.
Wu Heng's necromantic avatar stretched out his hand for a summon, and the White Bone Cage instantly rose from the ground, blinking into a Bone Prison, trapping all the Ghosts inside.
And these Ghosts, as fierce as fierce ghosts, became increasingly restless and agitated.
Without the Necromancer's control, they began to entangle and devour each other.
It was both dreadful and terrifying.
“Quick, these Ghosts don't have the intelligence of a living soul, they will devour me, let me out first, and they will consume everything,” the Ghost of the Necromancer showed himself, breaking free from a fierce ghost, and shouted loudly.
Wu Heng had never before witnessed what would happen to a Ghost after a Necromancer died.
Normally, the Ghosts nurtured by a Necromancer would also die upon his death.
But it was different at level 18.
A professional reaching this level, if a Soul persisted after death, it didn't mean they were truly dead; the nurtured Ghosts, it seemed, would not immediately disappear either.
“Your pets, your problem,” Wu Heng said.
“You, you really deserve to die!” the Necromancer cursed.
“So do you.”
The Ghosts within the Bone Prison immediately entangled with each other, a mess of grappling and chaotic attacking.
Only two Ghosts were left, one the Necromancer's, the other a fierce ghost-like spirit.
Wu Heng didn't want the Ghosts to level up too highly, so he instantaneously separated the Bone Prison, isolating the two Ghosts.
Amid curses and jeering, he collected them into the Demon Soul Pot.
Xi Ligui deactivated her Special Item status, with ice forming on her body, “It's over.”
“Yes, let's collect the corpse and head back to discuss this first. We still need to have the squad search again, just in case there are more issues,” Wu Heng said, removing the Space Ring from the corpse, then wrapping the body in a straw mat and packing it away.
They then walked together towards the association.
Returning to the association.
Xi Ligui issued new orders to the teams.
On the contrary, she intensified the search to ensure no Evil Cult members slipped through the net.
With the Necromancer dead, the others were not so in danger, and it would suffice to continue standard checks.
After talking to Wu Heng, Xi Ligui went to visit 'Shi Yali'.
Wu Heng also took out the ring he had removed from the Necromancer of Heaven Destiny Cult and, using his spiritual power, communicated with it to inspect its contents.
First and foremost, he took out a piece of gray-white jade.
“Lately, why do I always come across jade stones.”
On one side of the jade, one could faintly see etched Arrays, as if naturally formed patterns on the stone.
[Soul Capturing Jade (Special Item)]
[Effect: Array can extract remnants of soul power.]
[Side effect: Sacrifice.]
(Description: A naturally formed Special Item; through sunlight exposure, it can form an Array, and within the Array, it can extract Remnant Souls from living beings and corpses, but the extracted souls lack the consciousness of the living.)
