Chapter 1008: Chapter 108: Evil Energy Takes Over the Body

Flames burned fiercely.

The arrogant Demonflame Celestial, notorious for his reign of terror with the Death Dark Flame, ultimately met his end by being burnt alive. It really was a case of poetic justice.

Huh?

Among the ashes of the Demonflame Celestial, surprisingly, a glowing bone remained unburned.

"This must be the Wisdom Bone, right? Interesting. It seems that it’s not that the Wisdom Bone was ineffective; rather, the Demonflame Celestial was too incompetent to utilize such a powerful object."

He collected the Wisdom Bone, intending to personally hand it over to Master Baiyun when he returned to the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

This was his promise to Master Baiyun.

Once he made a promise to someone, he naturally had to keep it.

He was indeed such a trustworthy and good man.

"Xiao Die, let’s go."

Having finished the task at hand, Ling Xiao leaped into the air, heading in the direction that Leng Mei had taken.

He was still worried that something might happen to Leng Mei. To be on the safe side, he wanted to catch up and check on her.

Moments later, about a mile from Qingxu College, he stopped.

On a tree nearby sat a young girl, black energy violently emanating from her. The girl was desperately fighting against excruciating pain.

"Sigh, just as I thought."

Ling Xiao sighed.

As the Butterfly Girl had said, Leng Mei had made a contract with some creature, and though she could use that creature’s energy, she suffered immense pain as a consequence.

As for any other side effects, that remained unknown.

A terrifying chill rushed at him.

A dreadful killing intent was more unsettling than the cold itself.

In that instant, Ling Xiao almost reacted defensively, as if the tangible death energy was about to kill him.

If one paid close attention, they would see that all living things within two to three meters of Leng Mei had lost their lives, and even the tree branches had completely withered.

What a terrifying aura of death.

And what was most horrifying was that around Leng Mei, veiled in black mist, one could faintly see many gruesome skeleton spirits issuing piercing screams.

Leng Mei’s long black hair had turned gray, as lifeless as colorless vitality itself.

"Leng Mei, what in the world happened to you?"

Ling Xiao was shocked as he lunged toward Leng Mei.

What did danger matter, and what did death?

For Ling Xiao, Leng Mei’s words, "I would rather turn into a Fierce Ghost to protect my master," were worth risking his very life.

Such a woman deserved his every effort to protect her.

If he were to let Leng Mei die like this, he would never have peace for the rest of his life.

As he approached within two meters of Leng Mei, an even more terrifying killing intent congealed into a ghastly visage with a Blood Bowl gaping mouth, trying to devour Ling Xiao.

Boom!

Unable to avoid it, Ling Xiao was forced to deploy the Crimson Sun Feather Robe, which provided him with a bit of relief.

"Master, no! Don’t come any closer!"

Leng Mei recognized him as Ling Xiao was not wearing his mask.

Leng Mei’s voice was weak, and with every word spoken, her body trembled uncontrollably as if tormented by something.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao’s heart felt like it was shattering, and the pain was more severe than any injury he had ever suffered.

"Nonsense, look at the state you’re in. If I don’t help, who else can save you?"

Ling Xiao wasn’t just acting on impulse.

He was so resolute not only because he genuinely wanted to help Leng Mei.

But also because he possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul and the Immortal Pot, which could absorb any soul.

Whatever it took, it might be possible to help Leng Mei, even if there was only the slightest chance, he was willing to try.

The ominous aura enveloped his body, fiercer and more ferocious than before, causing his Crimson Sun Feather Robe to actually extinguish.

The eerie feeling pierced directly through his soul, making his entire body tremble with it.

However.

His body was trembling, but his will remained as resolute as ever.

Without flinching, without pausing, he still took firm steps, moving toward Leng Mei step by step.

Finally, his hand touched Leng Mei.

Boom!

In his mind, an image of a terrifying woman appeared, a woman whose eyes had been gouged out and legs chopped off, her blood continuously flowing from the empty eye sockets.

The terrifying aura of killing intent was released from her body.

In that instant, Ling Xiao knew everything.

This woman, Leng Mei’s second Martial Soul, must have been brutally treated while alive, which was why she harbored such tremendous anger and murderous intent; she wanted revenge, she wanted to slaughter everything alive.

"Don’t!"

Leng Mei cried out in horror, as she felt the murderous aura within her begin to surge uncontrollably toward Ling Xiao, seemingly about to completely destroy him.

Seeing her master like this, Leng Mei’s heart ached more than ever before.

"You little silly, you’ve called me master for so long, willing to transform into a Fierce Ghost for my sake, what’s it to me to help you? Do you really want your master to become a heartless and ungrateful person?"

Ling Xiao gently stroked Leng Mei’s hair, his heartache tinged with anger.

"Xiao Die, I need your help to protect us, don’t let anyone disturb us."

Ling Xiao summoned the Butterfly Girl, then gently embraced Leng Mei, no longer concealing anything, as the vast will of the Mountain and River Martial Soul surged forth.

The Power of the Human King, which he had always been reluctant to use, was also now activated.

At last, his body didn’t feel so terrible anymore.

The strong murderous aura even receded for a moment.

Tears blurred Leng Mei’s eyes, dampening the front of her clothes.

She followed Ling Xiao, protected him, not for any other reason, but simply because Ling Xiao once saved her.

But after all, she was a woman.

Which girl does not harbour sentiments?

How could she not be moved by Ling Xiao’s treatment?

How could she not be touched?

"Thank you, Master!"

Thousands of words condensed into one sentence, though few in words, yet deep in sentiment.

"Close your eyes, leave it to me."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, with an Immortal Pot appearing above his head.

"Monster, I know of your misery, but if you seek to harm Leng Mei, I will not spare you!"

The Immortal Pot opened, a powerful suction force bursting forth.

The soul let out a piercing scream, struggling not to be sucked away.

"Quite tenacious indeed!"

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, his Soul Power pouring into the Immortal Pot, making the suction force even stronger.

"No——!"

The soul continued to scream pitifully, and despite its desperate resistance, it had no choice but to be gradually absorbed into the Immortal Pot.

The energy within Leng Mei, now uncontrolled by the soul, became restless and erratic, rampaging within Leng Mei’s body.

"Don’t worry, today I will transform this energy completely into yours!"

Ling Xiao took a deep breath.

The Mountain and River Martial Soul already wrapped around Leng Mei, countless inscriptions flickering incessantly in the sky.

"Phew!"

The murderous aura, no longer controlled by a soul, was too horrific and actually injured Ling Xiao, causing him to spew a mouthful of fresh blood, significantly weakening him.
